Stacy opens his eyes once he realizes his face is not in contact with the floor, only to blush and stand up on his own feet quickly once he realizes Amber is the one who caught him. "R-Right! Thanks for that. I didn't hurt you, right? It's all fine? Good..." he stammers, looking to the side for a moment to make sure Walter didn't notice anything.

"Okay then, let's try that ag- oh, there's already an opening. Totally according to plan, yep. Hey, Walty! Found something? 'Cuz we sure did!" Not bothering to wait for a response, Stacy tries to wurm his way through the newly created hole in the fence to take a closer look at problem number two.

Amber follows Stacey.
"Shhh. Don't yell."

Amber looks around nervously.

"Hah, don't worry," he replies, "seems the 'mon are more busy fighting themselves than us. As long as we, you know, keep our dist- Walty, you coming or not?"

"Hey."Walter calls out, waving to the girl. "What're you doing back there?" He asks, pulling out his pokedex to scan her pokemon. "I'm Walter and this is Steve." He continues gesturing to his partner.

Travis pedals as hard as he can, rocketing back toward Placid Hills on his borrowed bicycle, but Alex slowly pulls ahead, as if he were intentionally trying to get there before Travis.

"Yankee Medical!" he yells ahead to Alex while adjusting his horns to keep them from blowing away. "We want a doctor that isn't Amber's dad!"

"Good call, Travis. Hadn't thought of that." Alex pedals as fast as possible trying to show Travis up just a small bit. Really it was so he didn't have to see any disappointment on his face. But winning did make him feel a bit better. Only a bit though.

As he pedaled forward, he occasionally looked back at Ivy after seeing her glee as they began the ride. "What do you say we earn enough money to buy one for you to ride? Think it would be great for getting around the region."

Amber shades her eyes and looks at them further. "Yep. I think they are fighting over seeds. So, I'm kinda nervous and excited at the same time. Exeverous? Nervcited?" Amber shuffles her feet. "I really wanna go inside, but I really wanna wait for the others."

The birds continue to squabble and squawk and pick at their bounty spread over the ground, and pay no mind to Stacy and Amber as they squeeze through the gap in the fence for the most part. A handful of more attentive Spearow and some of the more attentive bird Pokemon that neither recognize crow out a warning toward the large, bipedal creatures encroaching in on their food but quickly return to the struggling free-for-all as they're forced out of the feeding frenzy. The Pidove, being Pidove, don't give a flying fig about the presence of humans... but the sleeker and thinner bird is cognizant enough to put more feathery bodies between it and potential predators.
Notice


Walter's PDX6 scans for a moment before coming back with a POKEMON NOT PRESENT error. The Pokedex's camera seems to lose focus over longer distances, optimized for full-body scanning which requires targets to be closer in order to use its second lens accurately in order to take 3D pictures of Pokemon for more precise analysis. The chain-link fence in the way doesn't help the situation, either. Steve doesn't seem to notice or mind the people that Walter sees, he's pretty content with rolling on his back in the tall grass and snapping at the weeds.

______________________________________________

The heat from the rays of the sun are offset by the cool breeze of Placid Lake just north of Placid Hills as Travis and Alex race on. It's a little tougher on Alex because his bike was made for stylin' in the street, not racing down the road, but with perseverance he manages to squeak ahead. Ivy can be seen mesmerized by the ground whipping by underneath her, shaking her head back and forth as she focuses her serpentine eyes on a point only for it to whiz by her. It's then that Alex notices the shiny jewelry that she's managed to wrap around her slender neck... and then realize where that one missing bike chain went.

Back at Placid Hills, the streets are a little more lively now than they were in the morning, seeing as most people are on their lunchbreak. Even if the ride takes a number of minutes, Yankee Medical Center isn't difficult to find at all. Being the town's namesake and easily the largest building in Placid Hills, it's not hard to see why. A stark white concrete building with large, reflective windows and a sky blue illuminated sign casts a shadow in its overhanging awning in the noon sun. Just inside, the staff is... surprisingly short-manned. It must be a combination of the lunch hour and how the hospital has cut its staff over a number of years. Placid Hills isn't quite as big as it used to be, and it's so remote that they're rarely utilized to their fullest capability anymore aside from flyovers and specialty cases. The doors open automatically and reveal a spacious, linoleum-tiled waiting room with plastic chairs flanking either side, tables with old magazines gracing them, mounted televisions for viewers to watch tuned to the news and rubber tree plants to brighten the décor. The brightly lit room, while spacious, is empty, although the echoes of footsteps and rolling carts can be heard from further within the hospital building. Except for one person at the front desk, that is.

A young man with tousled brown hair of a medium length stands leaning an elbow on the tidy desk, garbed in blue scrubs much in the same fashion as Serenity's nursing uniform. He has a rather bored expression and sighs audibly, sticking a spoonful of yogurt into his mouth. Laid out before him is his own afternoon meal, a cup of yogurt, an apple, a protein bar, and a plastic container of what smells like grilled chicken.
"Can I help you guys?" he says expectantly albeit a little informally towards Travis and Alex as they enter.

"Seeds, huh. Well, in that case..." Stacy immediately pulls the bag from his back, shuffling around in it to find a certain wrapped batch of fresh cookies. He holds it out in front of him as he looks over to Amber. "I think we can work a bit on both. Wanna feed some birdies?"
