Route 101-The Social Experiment (open for anyone)

"Heh. I guess so." Tanner nodded. "Well, I think the flat land would be the best for practice, as it would be clear of most obstructions and such. That way not too many things will get in the way during training. And we're gonna want a pretty good amount of space to practice on."

Once Merri walks over to the other side of the second hill, she has her pokemon perform their moves. Raltsy goes first and does growl, confusion, double team, teleport, disable, and protect. She is followed by Sprucia who uses safe guard, bullet seed, leer, absorb, and quick attack. Strong Claw goes next and uses ancient power, bubble, vice grip, harden, and leer.

"I think confusion, double team, teleport, and maybe protect might work for Raltsy. Sprucia could use bullet seed, quick attack, and maybe safe guard. Strong Claw has ancient power, bubble, and possibly harden as possibilities. The thing now is figuring out how to use them either together or separately."

Tanner watched and noted a few things in his head as he saw the different moves of the different Pokemon. He nodded on occasion. "Bubble, Quick Attack, and Bullet Seed could look good together. And you just have to put the little pieces to the puzzle together. Then you see the big picture. For example, Strong Claw could possibly use Harden, Vice Grip, and Bubble to make a tiny lake. He would just have to use Harden, power up his claws with Vice Grip and make a good sized indentation to fill with water from Bubble."

Tanner nodded. "Yes, I agree. With diverse movesets such as the ones your Pokemon have, it can't be too hard to think of some good routines. Bullet Seed, Quick Attack, Teleport, Double Team, and Bubble will all likely be pretty useful. Safeguard could be good for creating a flash of light, or a shimmer. Protect and Ancient Power could come in handy also." He sat down on a flat stone nearby that was only one of a few in a cluster of the area. He turned around, looking behind his back because he heard some sort of rustling. Instead of a Pokemon, as he had expected, there was an Egg. Tanner picked it up curiously. "Hm.."

Merri walks over and sits down next to Tanner.

"What did you find?  Is that a Pokemon egg?  I have yet to see one up close.  They were covered in school but very briefly.  Do you know how long it will take to hatch this one?  I think I remember something about different times for each egg.  Something like that makes sense because of size of the Pokemon."

Merri then looks out across the field trying to picture the moves and possible combinations in her mind.

"Coming up with the routines could take days and then there is the perfection of the routines.  I do like it hear but I think it might be wise to stay here only a day or two more because of supplies."

"Yeah, an egg." He held it up for her to see closer. "Sometimes it takes a while, sometimes it takes a short amount of time. I'm pretty sure if I carry it around for a while, it'll hatch. I doubt it'll take too long." Tanner gently set the egg down next to him. "Indeed, it will take a while. So we'll be moving along in a day or so?"
