As Cera rode in the taxi she'd called for to take her to Cascarrafa, her growling stomach reminded her that maybe she should've just gotten something to eat after all. As it was, though, she'd make herself deal with it and maybe get something quick whenever the taxi landed. Quiet ride aside from that, she argued it could've been worse.
Once the taxi touched down in the city, she'd take a bit longer to catch up to sort out her earlier, poor decision. She could be seen trying to hastily finish a jam sandwich by the time she finally joined up with Monique and Amber. "S-sorry," she said, panting from the relative haste she'd thrown herself into. "You... two weren't waiting too long, were you?" |

Monique wasn't waiting long when Amber turned up. Clearly, the taxi trip had not sat well with her mentally. She put an arm around the nervous Amber to try and calm her down. "...New things can be scary. How do you think I feel?"
The two would end up spending more time waiting for Cera, who seemed to have been held up. They speculated: uncooperative Squawkabilly? Psychic-type shenanigans? As it turned out, the answer was just that Cera got hungry on the way and needed to eat first. Good thing I had all those potatoes, Monique thought to herself.
"No, we weren't waiting all that long, and Amber had a bit of a rough ride over here." The Pokémon Center, aside from being outside, had a steady crowd of Trainers healing Pokémon, buying items, and using the TM Machine. She wondered how these places handled being a shelter from the elements. That's one reason they were buildings—so people could get out of the rain or snow. The desert here looked like a steady source of nasty dust storms. It was one of those things that made her head shake.

While GRAY's quip made her jump slightly, not having expected it from all three SNAGs, Amber rolled her eyes. "Can it, GRAY," she snapped, her normal sass returning. She frowned at the AI's words; they had to do this delicately, or risk a repeat of what had happened at Schedar Squad's base. When Monique spoke up, she listened, an idea forming in her head.
"Hmm, I would suggest taking Mela's image, but if the squad leaders don't leave their bases they're stationed at, Giacomo might get suspicious," she said. "It might be better if you didn't go with an Illusion this time, Monique; Giacomo might be more willing to talk with you than with us. Did either of you happen to record what happened at Schedar Squad's base?"

"That..." Cera found herself pausing briefly, then shaking her head. She didn't want to say how close it sounded to something Sub would've suggested. "Yeah, that might work. Not... terribly into the idea of guns blazing, but at least this time it'll be more on our terms. Let's try it, then. Think I remember how the Schedar Squad liked to dress."
Looking to Monique and Amber, though, she'd quickly turn around to give the Zoroark hybrid a little privacy. And hopefully, herself as well. "Erm, maybe don't peek, though. I'm still used to clothes being separate from the transformation." |

"Then it's decided, all of you get moving! And be sure to illusion and transform yourselves, Monique and Cera, before you get too close to Segin Squad base, maybe even tie up Amber with a loose knot, you don't know how far from the base they are watching." GRAY informed the group.
The trio would be free to head out from Cascarrafa to Segin Squad base, the water based city giving way to the rolling green hills of Area One of the Western Province of Paldea. Like GRAY said it was just due south of the city, through a wide gulch, the base lying beyond it, surrounded by towering hills and sheer cliffs, only one path in. Their path there would be mostly uninterrupted, other than a few wild Pokemon going about their business.
[You may capture one wild Pokemon along the way if you wish. Available Pokemon are: Mankey, Phanpy, Numel, Swablu, Drifloon, Skiddo, Rockruff, Nymble, Mudbray, Pawmi, Charcadet, Capsakid, Yungoos, and Flittle. There will be a chance later to snag Dark type Pokemon from grunts if you wish to wait.]
In time the trio would arrive in front of Segin Squad base, the base looking similar to Schedar Squad in that it it too was largely made up of scrap metal and other assorted pieces of material, whatever they could get their hands on. Instead of the red flags and accents Segin Squad had black, indicating their Dark type alignment. The gate was guarded by two grunts, just like Schedar Squad, however interesting to note these grunts had their Pokemon out already, a Murkrow perched on the gate scanning the area and a Maschiff standing between the grunts on high alert. The two female trainers also seemed uneasy as they both were using a pair of binoculars. They would be aware of the trio's arrival in advance.
"What do you guys want!?" One of the girls shouted at the fake Schedar Squad grunts.
"Come to grovel before Giacomo? Ha! It was only a matter of time before Mela burned down her own squad." The other spoke up, her Murkrow giving off a human laugh with her trainer.

Deo and Absinithe would arrive at the entrance of Tagtree Thicket by Squawkabilly taxi roughly at the same time, the pair spotting Sub waiting for them, his Pangoro, Tamerlane, standing beside him holding a large sack slung over his shoulder. Hemlock the Vileplume was also out at his side, no Black Glasses on at the moment. What was this about?
"Glad to see you two made it. Welcome to Tagtree Thicket! Kinda neat, huh? The trees? According to the locals the trees are painted by a certain species of Pokemon called Grafaifai. Similar to Smeargle they can make their own paint, in their base with their saliva so all these trees are covered in Pokemon spit. Kinda gross when you put it that way..." Sub admitted to himself, then shrugged. "So, you two ready to storm Navi Squad's base? From what Mela told us it's located deep in the thicket and pretty well hidden and their leader sees themselves as something of a ninja. We're to expect traps and sneak attacks so be ready for that."
Without much other discussion Sub began to walk into the thicket, Tamerlane and Hemlock following after him, a light snoring-like sound coming from the bag the Pangoro was holding. "Any questions, concerns or other comments before we get too deep into the thicket?" He asked the two, a cacophony of bird chirping ringing throughout the forest.
[You may catch one wild Pokemon along the way. Available Pokemon include; Squawkabilly, Rookidee, Venonat, Murkrow, Pineco, Dunsparce, Zorua, Foongus, Oranguru, Passimian, Komala, Mimikyu, Greedent, Applin, Impidimp, Oinkologne, Spidops, Charcadet, Shroodle, Psyduck, Dreepy, Tadbulb, Nymble, Sunkern, Vivillon, Floette, Fomantis, Dolliv, Combee, Chansey, Flamigo and Toedscool.]
