Again, you'll want to be around, or heading towards the evolution stone cave.

By human time, it would be about four thirty in the morning, and damn freezing, almost cold enough for any Pokemon to see their breaths. A Chatot squawked an off key tune above the tree line, and was suddenly cut off by screeching, the sound of flapping wings, and then silence. It was obvious that it was going to stay quiet now, for sure, Storm noted, and breathed out a small cloud of mist. Of course, that was just one of the perks of living in the Fifth, after a while, no one noticed the cold.
That much.
It had rained a day ago, and whenever someone walked in a patch of mud, or even just touched the ground, their paws came away with a squelching sound and mud. It was still pretty early, but every Pokemon, or almost every Pokemon had to be awake by now; when you lived in a place like the Fifth, being a heavy sleeper was death. Literally.
Storm hated the rain, it made the ground disgustingly soggy and left tracks, and the place stunk of wet dung. Though, it was easier to find prey, when she could see through the undergrowth and at their tracks. And then.. Storm licked her lips as she spotted a few tracks leading through the mud, to a small warren under a tree. Smiling grimly, she padded to the small hole and peered in, spotting a small, shivering, malnourished looking Rattata. Giving it a pitying look, Storm reached into the hole and pulled it out, noting how small the prey in this area was. It wouldn't do much to quell her hunger, but nothing was really big enough too.. The claw holding the Rattata flared up with blue-purple fire, suddenly.

"Rose," a voice behind the Leafeon called, making her twitch.
"Alright, you're here," she said as she turned, rather relieved. "I thought.." Storm stepped out of the undergrowth, and Rose winced as she spotted the flecks of blood and fur around her claws and mouth. "You should learn to just eat plants, too," she tried again, both of them knowing what a waste of breath it was.
"Maybe later," Storm answered, as always, wiping the blood away from her mouth with the back of her claws. "Go on."
"So supposedly there's a great river to the east of us, and across that is a small cave where you can find evolution stones," she started, and looked at her paws. "I went to go take a look at the river, you can hear it from here.." Rose motioned with her tail towards the east, where a distant rumbling could be heard. "It's white water, we won't be able to swim for sure. Across, it must be almost seven times your length.. So we'll have to fly. Or, you will."
"There isn't anywhere we can cross? A ford, maybe a place where we can walk around the river?"
"Well, there's a spot, but it would be almost a season's travel down south. I know you don't like to fly with cargo, but.."
"No, it's fine." Storm looked towards the east, past Rose. "We should start heading towards the river, then." Nodding to the Leafeon, both Pokemon ducked below the undergrowth and made their way quietly towards the river.
((The point of this part is so everyone will know what everyone else's characters look like, maybe even getting names.
..Holy shit, did I write all that in ten minutes?))
