Plot Description: Some kids from Union help to spread the awesomeness of Pokémon habitats to our desert neighbors.
Warnings/Notes: Probably not OSHA compliant.

Rise has just about exactly enough common sense that she did, in fact, expect that convincing Caldera's and Union's leaders that building a secondary Pokémon habitat in the desert city was a great idea would be the easy part of the endeavor. Now she and some volunteers from Union were doing what she - correctly - figured was the hard part, which was the actual construction of the sprawling structure. Fortunately, between Union's architects and Caldera's engineers, the planning wasn't up to a bunch of clueless kids, and even a lot of the construction was paid local labor - they're mostly just here as representatives of Union's willingness to help out their allies.

That's not to say they weren't doing work, of course. Rise, standing under a parasol, was coordinating the Union volunteers - split between material hauling and doing detail work on the new structure - using her powers. All in all, it was going smoothly...so far.

Rise had, to the best of her knowledge and ability, asked the volunteers with the bigger, heavier-lifting Pokémon, general physical prowess, or ability to see the big picture in general to help haul heavy materials from Caldera's quarries, as well as important interior pieces and electronics that were Warped in from Union on a periodic basis. Generally, it was simple work, but involved a lot of effort.

Asemu was hard at work. There was a unique need for Enlightened who could fly, and Asemu fit that bill perfectly -- he'd been flying for a few months now, and he was quite strong after all the training he had done. So a lot of the construction at higher altitudes was left to him and his birds.

But that didn't mean he didn't come down on the ground. After all, he had to get the materials from somewhere. He was spending almost as much time on his feet as he was in the air.

Need anything up there?

[Chie cups her hands around her mouth, calling up to where Asemu is flying. She figures she can save him a bit of work by tossing things up to where he's currently working.]

Huh?

[Asemu looks down.]

Not sure yet. I need to check. Why do you ask?

Thought I'd save you some time and toss it on up.

...Uh.

How...good is your aim?

Sheesh, if you don't want any help, you can just say so.

Wha--no, I didn't mean that! I'm just worried about being careful.

Don't worry, then. My aim is just fine.

...All right, if you say so. Just let me know when you've got something for me.

Do you need some bricks or anything?

Bricks? Not right now. We're working on the framework up top.

Oh... so some metal and stuff?

Kind of. I could use some fastener plates, nuts, bolts...pretty much anything you can think of to hold metal joints together.

Oh, okay, sure! I can totally do that. Be right back!

[Chie runs off, and in a few moments she's back, carrying an armful of the stuff.]

Ready?

As ready as I'll ever be.

[He's still not very confident.]

Here they come!

[Chie's fighting style focuses mainly on kicks, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have strong arms too. One at a time, she tosses various metallic bits and bobs up at Asemu.]

[Thankfully, Asemu is fast. He manages to catch everything.]

Ah...hey, next time could you toss them up in a toolbelt?

Oh... yeah, I guess that would have been easier, huh?

Yuuna had brought her biggest, strongest Pokemon for this sort of work, and had tasked herself with doing her personal best as well. She was strong enough to move some things, and was a good enough director to keep things from needing too much micromanagement. And to keep her Avalugg from accidentally stepping on anyone.

Her squad of fighting types, walking icebergs and flying saucers was rounded out by a pair of tireless ghosts that could just keep on tugging things along while the bigger Pokemon took a break. Yuuna, being only human, took more frequent rests, and may be found just sitting in some shade.

Well, Kanji's never been one to shy away from something that takes strength. He could be seen picking gear up from the warp, or just running equipment around; generally, if anyone was yelling for a pair of hands, he'd be there. His crew, too; his Marowak was throwing its weight around, and his Golett quietly followed any instructions given to it. His Pancham, back where it first came from, seemed over the moon to be involved.
Generally, everyone was keeping busy...
