Hotaru looked to her houndour as Rylen put his rufflet back in it's pokeball. The new partner stared up at her. They locked eyes for a good few minutes until she smiled. "Nephrite,.. your name will be Nephrite from now on. How you like that name?" She asked and the houndour just barked in response. She did not know if he was happy for the new name or what but she would accept it as it was. She then looked to Zed and then to Nephrite. "Alright guys, we will be traveling to Dune Town, it's practically in the middle of the desert and we have to cross some of it to get there. I know you two enjoy being out of the pokeball but one of you will have to go inside. I think you both know who can make it and who can't." She looked to Nephrite and he frowned a little. He wanted to protest but she was right after all. The desert would have mostly ground types in it and well he was a fire type after all. Zed was going to likely get some training in there sense him being a ghost type ground type moves don't effect him due to his levitate ability. "Don't worry Nephrite, I will bring you back out as soon as we hit Dune Town so you can move around for awhile." She said and he nodded. He didn't like it but what can one do. She took out his pokeball and pointed it at him and pressed the button and back in it he went with the flash of a red light.
She then looked to Zed and smiled. "Be prepared to do some training in the desert sands my friend. A lot of pokemon in there are ground types. Any ground type attacks wont effect you and normal attacks wont either. Therefore best chances of leveling are in there and you need it." Zed moved his body slightly downwards and then back up. She took that as a nod. She smiled and looked at the other two trainers and their pokemon. She was actually enjoying herself for once. Then a voice rang out and she looked to it's owner. It belonged to a boy with his Froakie. Hey that's a pokemon she never saw before. She was from the Hoenn region and Froakie's were from a different place altogether. She smiled at the new face and waved.
"Excuse me,"... "Sorry, to interrupt but we're kinda lost. Do you guys know a way out of the forest?"
She looked to Rylen who responded with a offer for the boy to join them. It would be the best decision he would make after all. Traveling with friends was much safer after all. She walked up the boy Zed followed behind her. Note he was larger then most gastly so hopefully that did not intimidate the Froakie any. Hotaru held out her hand for the boy to shake. "My name is Hotaru Tomoe, this guy beside me is Zed." She said.
