@Joshua Tamashii@Remram "Quih' yoah wohry-wahtin, if any ol mawnstah wahnts t' troy us, Oy'll myke em the firhst victim hahh!" If Steph was on edge, then unlike Freya she didn't show it. If anything, such a prospect seemed to make the girls grin wider? Truly, no one could comprehend the eldritch abomination that was her mind. On that thought, would anyone even want to? A great question. Though for now, such a question of important had to be shelved as sounds could be heard from inside.
Clinking? And clanking? It was like metal grinding on wood, most annoying as Steph showed with her current expression like someone had just started dragging their nails across a chalkboard. She still looked less than impressed when the door opened, but she quickly shifted to gawking upwards as she felt like she was staring up beyond the clouds.
Were old people normally this tall in this region? Upon reflection, was everyone from here tall? Freya seemed pretty tall, but like...this was ridiculous right? However, despite the menacing build and attire of the woman, and the seemingly blood dripping from their knife and apron, Steph still reached forward with a hand and toothy grin.
"Noice t' meetcha, nymes Steph! Whahtcha mayn boy moah of yah though? We ain't sayn nao one else round here buh' yah?" She looked round as she said that, almost as if expecting to see another dozen or so people just...pop out of the woodwork. But alas, no one else appeared and she shrugged. "So is this the paht yah stab us oooooor is Freya here gawnna be disappointed we ain't in a horror muvay roigh' naow?"

When told not to pick a fight, Steph went from all smiles and rainbows to a deep frown. She didn't pick fights, she ended them thank you very much! Ok, so maybe she went and got herself in some, she couldn't deny this. But they started it! Ahem, regardless, she was quick to shrug it off. She had no reason to pick a fight with the bugs anyway, so long as they stayed away from them, she had no qualms right now with letting em be. She was confident though that even if they were swarmed, she had enough partners good against bugs to deal with it. Dusk not least of all.
Mind you, when they came across the slash marks and she lingered by them, one hand tracing over the deep cuts there might've been a fear of her going to investigate what caused them. And if she had been by herself? Or at the very least, only had Freya with her? Yeah, she would've. She had her suspicions as to what might've caused this, and if true she would adore the chance to deal with one. But not even a bug like that interested her much, so eventually she broke away and continued after the other two.
Well, at least until her pokedex buzzed. Seeming puzzled, she pulled the device out and flipped it open. Thankfully, she already knew how to operate the device so it spared her the embarrassment that might've otherwise followed if she didn't know how to. She wasn't the best with tech, and barely knew how to operate a mobile phone as she never really had to use one before. Pulling the message up, she somehow managed to not trip over as she read the mail from Jason while she walked.
Not to say she didn't nearly trip over every tree root nearby, but Dusk managed to sway one way or the other to keep her balance or turn her in a direction that wasn't the middle of a tree trunk. If the others asked her what she was reading, she would simply respond with;
"Some guy cohled Jason just messaged me, wahnts t' mybee taym up aw somethin, buh' Oy'm troyin t' remembah who...hmmm....'faellaow aspirant'? Ah! Oy gawt ih'!" Clicking her fingers after mulling it over for a good ten seconds, a face came to mind. She hadn't seen him for long, nor even really got a chance to talk to him. But that was probably him, right? He was the only other guy there bar that Tristan, and not even considering the fact their names were entirely different, she figured there was very little chance he would ever message her. Not that she ever wanted him to, bloke could choke on an ekans for all she cared right now.
Sure! I'm with a couple of others already, but the more the merrier right? We're in Starbor Woods at the moment checking something out, but when we're done we were going to head to Starbor anyway so can meet you there. Always down for a good brawl, so if nothing else wouldn't mind testing our mettle if we get the chance!
With a speed that required to be seen to believed, such was how slowly she typed this message, it took her the rest of their journey to the cabin to type up and send the message back to Jason, promptly putting her pokedex back in her pocket just in time to not walk into the railing of the steps up to the porch.
Eh? When had they stepped into a horror movie? This was just ripped out of one right? Steph took a moment to register her surroundings and blinked, having not paid it much heed till now because she was entirely focused on her message. Taking a step back, she did so to take several steps forward as she almost immediately stomped up the steps while Freya talked.
"Well, no bettah why t' foind eow' than t' ask roigh'? Lets go see if anyone's home eh?" Without an ounce of hesitation in her, she approached the door with an almost menacing aura before...politely, even if a bit loudly, knocking on the door. Like, maybe there was a momentarily fear she would kick the door of its hinges, and while sure the idea was tempting, it was a bit rude if someone lived here right? If no one answered, sure kicking the door down would be more appealing by the second, but for now she would knock a few times before patiently waiting for an answer, or for someone to answer.

@Joshua Tamashii@Remram Well first of all, Steph was just bored now with all the wild mons avoiding her. Couldn't really blame the poor lads, but it certainly put a dampener on her mood.
Steph's reaction to the scenario was just a simple sigh and shake of her head. She was a real pushover ain't she? Not spineless, just a pushover, the too nice for ya own good type of pushover. Well, if she wouldn't punish the little shite head then Steph was going to have to-wait where did the little bastard go?! Seems like he scurried off and up further into the tree, so Steph just sighed again and followed after the others.
As they went deeper in, the presence of the Spinaraks and their effect on Feya gave Steph a good little thing to chuckle at. She knew she wasn't the biggest fan of bug types, no offense Glory, but this was just humorous to her. And while the temptation to maybe catch one was there, none of the bugs available really caught her interest at this moment.
"Sao haow much fuhthah in eh? Dunnao if Faya's heart cahn tyke much moah of these craypy crawloys heh." Taking the chance to give her newfound friend a gentle little ribbing, even making a wriggling finger gesture like moving spider legs at the taller girl. "If yah daon't loike em thaht much Feya, should use yoah Growlithe t' kayp em awhy. Wehkin a chahm roigh' ovah heah, ine't thaht roigh' Dusk?"
None of the bugs had really bothered her since they saw her decimating the local wildlife earlier. Though seeing a Beedril did give the girl a few more dangerous thoughts, she still didn't care much for them so left them bee. Though as she spoke, she would give her partner a little chin scratch and he would make Torchwick noises in return.
Otherwise she was ready to combat whatever might stop em from heading further in, if anything did. She had enough methods to deal with bugs after all.

"Nahh, enough of thaht." Steph sounded...annoyed? Yeah, annoyed. She was absolutely annoyed by the words coming out of Amelia's mouth right now, and put a hand on her shoulder, giving her a stern look before they left. "Its as much yoah journay as moine, yah wahnna do somethin? spayk up. if Oy daon't wahnna do ih', mybee we cahn spliieh' off faw a biieh', regroup aftuhwahds. Besoides haydin t' do stuff yah loike moigh' layd t' uhthah fun! naevah knaow whaht the naext die hawlds!"
She also made sure to thank Amelia for the berry before giving it to Jack, curing him of his paralysis.
With that said, she would indeed grind against the local grass and bug types with fire, ice and flying types. Warcrimes were committed, levels were gained. She wasn't sure how strong the first gym would be, so every levelled mattered. Had to train while she had the chance! Though the commotion of whatever was going on behind her did draw her gaze, seeing the Aipom in the tree above taunting both Feya and Amelia.
Now, Steph's first instinct was to climb up the tree after the shithead and take it back. Maybe battle it, however, she instead...silently turned away, only keeping a small glance over her shoulder at the situation. As much as her hotheadedness wanting to jump in, there was a greater curiosity to satisfy.
What would Amelia do? That question made her curiosity win out over her brashness, a rare feat really. But how would Amelia fare in the face of this? Steph wanted to know, so restrained herself...barely. Not that it stopped her from letting out Jack and telling him to get up into the tree and cut off the Aipom if it tried to make a runner.
In the meanwhile uh....she could train some more or something? Not much else she could do while she waited for Amelia. Maybe see if there was something else going on? Twiddle her thumbs?

Looking down at Amelia as she spoke up, Steph seemed to make a face, and perhaps for a moment, at least a moment as she put a hand on Amelia's shoulder, it seemed like she was about to shut the idea down, or perhaps even question what this talk about feelings and ghost types was really all about. Perhaps probe for a few answers. Instead what she got was....
"Well whoy deedn't ya sie sao Amelia?! Jayz louise, Oy ine't nao moind raydah ya knaow? If yah wahnna do somethin, speak up! Else ya gawnna geh' dragged alawng like a sahck of potuytoes, and ine't nao one wahnna be a sahck of potuytoes." Giving her a big ol' toothy grin, the older girls hand quickly went from her shoulder to ruffle her hair. Steph chose not to question what this 'feeling' meant, because lets be real, she felt all sorts of urges and feelings, to which some she ignored, some she followed. She called it following her gut,
Now was this the same case for Amelia? Not really, but hey Steph had the right sentiment even if she had the wrong idea about it all. And that was that mattered right? And even if Steph did know, honestly all she would think was that it was a cool and funky thing to have. She wasn't exactly about to judge people on actions, now was she? Not with the stunts she pulled....
Looking at Dusk when Amelia asked where Dusk came from, before she could even get the words out to ask her partner, Feya was already explaining it all. Well, suppose she oughtta expected the sister of the professor they got em from to know. Guy sounded alright too, maybe at one stage if she got the chance she should drop by and thank him for Dusk? Oh right, speaking of thanks, she quickly pulled out her pokedex and without any further context to Kapoc, she sent him a text of thanks for the pokedex, Dusk and the chance to explore evig.
Then with Feya done, Steph would put her pokedex and hum for a moment thoughtfully.
"Ya know, if we run intao some Ghosties, wouldn't moind a Gastly myself, Gengar is a mayn ol buggah and a strawng one at thaht. uh uhthahwoise..." She wasn't sure what other Ghost type she would be too interested in right now, but if she liked one she saw the looks of, then she would let the others know she guessed. Though she had the feeling she should let Amelia here have first dibs on the ghost types, so she probably would unless it was especially aggressive.
"Uh whaht koind of prep is there even t' do anywhy?" Taking another moment to think, she looked up at the treeline and squinted as if expecting the answer to be up there. To no ones surprise, it wasn't. "Guess Oy just moigh' wahnna train up a biieh' moah, mybee foind somethin t' dayl weeth Jack heah's puyralysees. And if Oy say somethin wheech catches me inteahst, try and catch ih'."
Steph was but a simple lass at the end of the day, a simple shiela. If she saw a cool or strong mon, she would try to catch it. Otherwise this was a great chance to train up Dusk, Dennis, Lucky and Jack if she could find a way to cure him of his ailment. She did so knowing it would make Amelia uncomfortable, but at the end of the day it was kinda the reason why Steph was even on this journey, so she would give her an apologetic look every now and then try to finish the fights as quick as possible.
At least on their way to wherever Amelia was wanting to head to. Otherwise besides training and looking for a berry to help with Jack? She would always keep her eye out for anything out of the ordinary if she could see it, whether it be a pokemon, a person, or whatever. After all, if she found the extraordinary, she might find the answers which she seeked.

Seeming quite happy and content with herself with her catch, Steph turned her attention to her paralysed friend. Uh...there wasn't much she could do right now, right? Except maybe hope it goes away with time? She didn't buy any paralyse heals back in town, or full heals. Slight regret she didn't, then again, did anywhere even sell a full heal? Eh that doesnt matter much right now. She would just return Jack and hope to find something to fix him up later. She wasn't the best with the outdoors persay, despite her active and outgoing lifestyle and personality. Farmlife was very, very different to proper outdoors. Still, she knew a few things here and there, if not because she enjoyed camping. Pretty sure there was berry to fix it, but it was escaping her at the moment.
Tapping her chin as she thought, she was quickly snapped back to attention at the sound of Freya's voice. Giving the girl a blank look as it took a moment for her brain to catch back up and review what was said, she looked from Freya, to Amelia, back to Freya, back to Amelia, to Dusk on her shoulder, back to Freya, down to Amelia, up to Freya, sideways to Dusk.
"FAHK YAYH OY DO! WHAHT INEH' GAWNNA KEELL YA IS GAWNNA MYKE YAH STRAWNGAH!" Thrusting her fist up into the sky, one could almost see the fire bursting forth from her eyes, sparkling brighter than any star. Freya had only known Steph for a short time, not much longer than Amelia really. But Steph was a simple girl, and all she needed was a little patience handling and one could easily work out how to best reign her chaotic ways in a certain direction. Mostly. Though for a moment after, she seemed to hesitate and look towards Amelia again.
"Uh...buh' weell ih' be oolroigh' wit' Amelia? Wouldn't wahnt t' drahg hah intao any unnaesaessaray duyngah ya knaow? Me and yah ahh biieg enough and ugly enough t' look aftah oursaelves and ooll, buh' she's a kiied ya knaow? Wouldn't wahnt hah t' geh' huht cause of me." Was this...responsibility? Nah, couldn't be. Not Steph. Though then again, everything Freya had seen Steph had always been a danger to herself rather than others. Or maybe this was her actually being able to think instead of acting in the moment, would explain why she was pretty quick to park a lot of her excitement at Freya's proposition. "Told hah Oy would kayp hah syfe and stuff. Plus Oy'm shooah she's gawt stuff t' do and plyces t' say oolsao roigh'?"

@Joshua Tamashii@Remram Starbor Forest. The sigh of the woods made the girl crane her neck up at the towering timber above. She didn't pay the bug catchers and maniacs much mind, instead she had been mostly to herself since leaving the fishing store. She would respond to anything when spoken to, otherwise she seemed quite content with talking with Dusk and otherwise thinking over what she learned from Barry. Now having had time to process it, even she couldn't deny how outlandish it sounded. Did that dent her belief he was telling the truth? Not one bit. Man seemed to be genuine, and she wasn't going to doubt that. Now did that meant he wasn't delusional? Different subject.
But she was here to investigate something. And she figured if this was true, then there was every chance that anything suspicious like that could be related. She had no leads after all, so looking around without a proper goal was pointless. So why not just investigate every suspicious activity in the hopes of finding something? Not the best plan, but it was all the girl could think of.
Also wouldn't it be awesome if it was true? She was really hoping it was.
But back to the Forest around them, as Steph eyed off the trainers and pokemon around them, also glancing once in Amelia's direction. She really wanted to train, but she knew Amelia wasn't overly...enthused about such a thing. At least for herself. She wasn't sure how far that extended. Then again, she didn't seem to mind or say anything when she fought the Angler before. So maybe it was just her own choice? Gah, she couldn't understand that in all honesty. Seemed like a good kid, maybe too good. But why participate in the Gym Challenge if you weren't going to...participate. Eh, it was her choice so she would respect it so long as she respected hers. Maybe Amelia would come around, who knows.
What Steph did know was that a Shroomish caught her eye. Now, she didn't really have any real plans on what to catch persay, but she did have a list of most wanted Pokemon. She had one in Lucky the Growlithe, and a Shroomish was also on that list. It wouldn't take her companions long to catch onto her plan to catch one also, as she stared at it intently before slowly reaching to her belt, only hesitating once she reached it as she pondered who to use to aid in the capture. Pretty much her entire turn was a good match up, all of them having a super effective move against grass types. But that probably didn't aid in her current endeavour. She wanted to catch it, not knock it out.
Finally deciding upon Jack, despite Dusk seeming rather keen about the matter, she would call out her Sneasal and the plan was simple.
Hit it with an ice shard, maybe a second depending on how hard it hit. Otherwise weaken it with scratch before going in for the final strike with a pokeball. Shouldn't be too difficult, so long as the dice played nice and didn't draw the affair out.

"Ah raylly? Thanks, Oy'll geeve ih' a good gao. Say if theah's anythin inteahstin theah faw ya Bazza."
Pocketing the map, she did make sure to glance at it to see just where it was. It was kind of on the way with how Steph wanted to travel, though she wanted to keep south and not follow the Lake round it was only a little out of the way so she figured it was worth at least a little look over. Her curiosity was brimming after all. But you know what they said about curiosity and cats...
"Nahh Oy theenk thahts ih', oolraydy clayned me eow' of maowst of moy monay. Thanks anywhy, hahve a goodun!." Steph said, sheepishly rubbing the back of her head. But if someone else wanted to buy something, then she wasn't going to stop or hold them back from doing so. Regardless if that was the case or not, she would look to exit. In the event of someone else looking to buy anything she wouldn't go too far once she was outside, maybe just see if there was anything interesting going on around them.
Otherwise if everyone else was done also, unless there was something interesting going on then they had a Woods to get to. Something about needing to actually get their journey moving forward or something crazy? Places to be, things to do and whatnot.

@Joshua Tamashii[@hatakekuro] Cut off by Freya, a sheepish grin crept over Steph as if only just realising what she was doing to poor Ol' Barry, taking a step back as she listened to the answers the old man. Lake Charity? Crack in the sky? An explosion of sorts? Someone then fell out of it, for the champion to arrive and take them back to Grand Glory City. In all honesty, this sounded like the sort of story you would hear from someone after they had a few too many edibles. And maybe too much to drink on top of that. Absolutely absurd really, only a madman would believe this sort of story.
So naturally, Steph did also. Where Feya showed skepticism, Steph nodded along enthusiastically with Amelia.
"Ye, whaht Amelia heah said. Aw mybee someone else did see ih', buh' ine't nao one believin thaem uythah. Oy've heahd of cruyzier theengs hahppenin, plus Pokemon cahn do ooll sohts of insyne stuff sao whoy wouldn't thiies be pawssible oolsao? If Giratina cahn hawp betwayn doimaensions, thaen mybee theah's uhthah Pokemon who cahn do soimilah." Citing an example she read in a book at one point, and yes real shock horror Steph could read so long as it wasn't a danger sign, she paused for a moment before thoughtfully looking out the window. Or if no window, then the door.
"Hy, thaht Lyke Charity ine't fah frawm heah roigh'? Theenk yah cahn nahraow daown wheah yah saw ih'? Oy moigh' gao chaeck ih' eow' on moy why puyst. Oy wahnna gao chaeck eow' the woods and the veellage oolsao, sao its on the why. could mybee foind a clue aw two even. Aw if nawt, thaen ih' moigh' at layst geeve me a chahnce t' taest eow' the rawd! Heh."

@Joshua Tamashii@hatakekuro Damn right, we were tempting fate, that's what life was about! With the comedic timing of an anime character, old Bazza made his entrance almost the moment the question left her lips. what a curious bloke he was, Steph keeping an eye and ear on him while the other was on the shopkeep.
So weird slash marks in the forest. Probably some sort of bug or other type mon, but if it had the interest of bug trainers then it was a safe assumption it was most likely that. The mention of the Marsh certainly drew a...reaction from the girl, lets put it that way. And it probably wasn't one that Freya liked from what she knew of Steph so far. Her eyes almost seemed to become starry and sparkle at that one, so yep she was definitely excited about that one. She would have her work cut out for her to have her avoid throwing herself into the deep end of some trouble.
She didn't really get this whole shrine thing, and honest the Marsh was currently occupying her mind and the potential uh...lets put it as 'fun' that she could have, yeah fun. Nothing said fun like nearly dying, right? But after the man finished, Bazza screeched out something about a person falling from the sky? Now, to most people this sounded insane. Utter, completely insane right? No way could a person fall out of the sky. Let alone from a *crack* that appeared in it.
But Steph wasn't normal, now was she? So of course, her reaction was....
"Taell me moah abeow' thiies skoy and bloke thaht faell eow' of ih'. Was ih' loike, mawnin? aftuhnoon? noigh'? was he old? young? wheah diied yah say thiies? haow diied yah geh' thiies mahk? whaht hahve yah gawt t' do weeth adrienne? whoy was she theah? was thiies in the puyst? fuchah? was ih' a current event? if yah gawt thiies, could yah say uhthah theengs?"
And so began her bombardment upon the old man. There were other questions of course, but she was getting faster and faster and now it was nearly impossible to understand her.
