((If you want to take over Blast here and there, you kinda get the picture of his personality so far. He's fairly two-dimensional and only serves the purpose of moving the story along.))

Both Eevee and Wartortle stared at the Vulpix for a long moment before they came back to themselves. "Yeesh, I was just asking... and come on." The Pokemon moved through the brush he had emerged from and Izzy followed after him, hoping that this wasn't an incredibly stupid idea. She had no idea how strong either she or Nicole really were at the moment, so they could either wind up winning a fight easy or come out very battered.

As they walked, Blast was pointing out various things... Most of them Izzy didn't really think were really necessary as they were mostly centered around the fact that Blast had done something there. However, there were a few tidbits of information she found useful... and they were coming up on one of them.

"And this is the pond!" he said, gesturing grandly at the pool of water being fed by a stream that fell a couple of feet over a rock ledge into the pond, forming a small waterfall, before continuing it's journey on the other side of the pond and on downhill. There was a small log bridge spanning the stream at that end, facilitating getting over the stream without getting one's paws or fur dirty. At the moment, there were a few Pokemon around the watering hole, most of whom were taking a drink and others were splashing themselves with water, obviously cleaning up a bit.
