Exploration Log

Who: Asemu Asuno, Apollo, Eren Jaeger, Rise Kujikawa
What: Exploring the world map
Where: West Desert, into Crater Plains
When: June 15
Warnings: Excessive heat.

After several days of preparation, the expedition was on its way. Asemu had made certain to pack everything needed for a desert trip. Asemu himself was wearing a loose tunic with a hood -- in all-white, naturally -- with a one-gallon jug full of water resting in the backpack he wore on his back.

Of course, Asemu was a Fire-type Enlightened, so the heat bothered him much less than it would the average person. But he knew he would be out in it for a long time, and so he elected to be prepared for the trip.

And so far, so good. After traveling for a couple of hours, and using his Ponyta as a mount, he was still going strong.

Several of the Dugtrio pop up to take a closer look. They semi-surround the party, but aren't making any threatening moves, definitely more curious than anything else. You have their attention, at least.

Asemu looked around, then dug his hand into one of the pockets on his backpack. Cupping one hand over the other, he slowly bent down and emptied his hands' contents onto the ground.

Left behind was a small mound of assorted berries. Asemu made sure to include at least one berry of each major flavor. He then took a few steps back to make sure he wasn't blocking any Pokémon's path.

[The Dugtrio are definitely interested now. Several of them sidle up and start chowing down on the berries with abandon]

Apollo smiles at the sight of the Dugtrio eating. He sends them a compliment on how much work they've obviously done here, but wonders where they get their food from; it seems pretty barren here.

Even with sharp avian eyes, Eren can't quite make out all the pokémon from up here. But there's surprising diversity out here! And those little brown mole guys are quite industrious, it seems. He looks over at Talonflame and addresses the other bird in Pokémon.

"Can you make out anything besides moving specks? Do you know what kind of Pokémon those brown guys are?"

[second_destiny]

"Hey, slow down. Make sure other Pokémon get some, okay? I've only got so many."

Asemu simply remained where he was, though. Best to simply observe for now.

Apollo gets the feeling that the Dugtrio are able to get their food from some underground growths, it seems like there's water underground somewhere.

Talonflame is able to give Eren the description of some of the other Pokemon it sees, among them a brown creature standing upright with ridges on its back and a large maw with sharp teeth, as well as an enormous brown and gray Pokemon with a bulbous body sunning itself in mud pools.

It sounds like it's not as barren underground as it is on the surface. There could be a lot more Pokémon around here than we're seeing.

Talonflame describes what it can see to Eren, along with a vague dig at Eren's eyesight.
