Alexis Winter camping. It's totally a thing. But for this outing the group decided to not wait until the middle of actual winter. Or to venture too far into the wilderness. Even if Alexis was experienced in such matters, she didn't want to make it too hard on her friends.

But she clearly came prepared. She has one of those tents made for cold weather and mountain trail camping, extra insulated. Staking it up wasn't hard when she had Pokemon capable of doing so even with the ground frozen.

Also Pokemon to provide warmth, as instead of a campfire her Typhlosion was curled up in that spot for them to gather around, Scorch's fiery mane providing more than enough fire and heat. "See, this isn't so bad now is it?... and if you really want I did bring plenty of other Fire pokemon with."
Sarracenia      Sarracenia had tried to bring an entire airship camping, but with friends like Alexis and Tomoe that's impossible. They barely let her wear a dress! So, Sarra is in a warm but still cute outfit that likely makes one think of those Christmas elves in malls. Fluffy boots, tight leggings, a green skirt with fluffy white around the hems. A similar but thicker top with long sleeves, and fingerless mittens to keep her hands nice and warm.

     She didn't bring any actual camping equipment because...well...she doesn't have any and wouldn't know what to get even if she wanted to get some. She does have her satchel though, and within it the endless supply of refreshments. She's currently sipping a hot cocoa and keeping close to the fire pokemon while sitting in a foldable chair.

     When Alexis mentions other pokemon, Sarracenia perks up! "Oh! Do you have those adorable fox pokemon with you? The red one and the blue one?"
Tomoe Tomoe has done a lot of camping and has not forgot the winter floor of the Tower in the death game. She was also gleeful to drag Sarracenia also. She was ready with winter gear. She'd come back from ice fishing it looks like the good news is she's even prepped the fish.

"Your friend doesn't midn if I used them to cook dinner, I'm sure there can be some for them too."
Alexis At the mention of cooking Scorch opens one eye, gives what could be a nod, and settles back down. "He's use to it, I usually do the same," Alexis replies to Tomoe. Followed by a soft sigh and a shake of her head. "Predictable, Sarra." A pokeball is flicked out, and the brief flash of energy deposits the Vulpix in Sarra's lap. She swats the ball back to Alexis with her tails, then curls up warmly with the princess. "Happy?" Alexis herself has her Arcanine to lean back against, after he helped haul the stuff out here.
Sarracenia      Sarracenia lets out a happy squee as the Vulpix appears in her lap. She gives it a big hug and nuzzles into those tails for a moment before relaxing again and just idling petting over the fox's head and the curls there. "Very~" she answers Alexis. "Oooh. What's for dinner, Lady Tomoe?"
Tomoe Tomoe says "Fish I'm not sure what type but they seem close to some of the ones from back home." She grins to the 'camp fire' Well thank you my fine firey friend." She will get some sticks and carve them with a boot knife before she gets to cooking. She's putting spices and what looks like lemon over it.
Alexis Alexis chuckles. "At least we don't have to worry about things being randomly poisonous here." The Arcanine she's leaning on gives a light snort. "Best part of fire types is we won't have to worry about space heaters during the night either."
Sarracenia      Sarracenia hmms, nodding. "Yes, many of the plants and animals around my home are poisonous or venomous. Our people have to be very careful if they go out foraging." Sarracenia is used to getting waited on, but having her friends do it feels kind of weird. So, after a bit she asks, "Is there anything I can do to help?" even as she keeps her vulpix cuddled close.
Tomoe Tomoe is cooking for the moment as she muses on the state of things. "Aye it would be I'd think I'd have to go hungry in your neck of the woods. I need to learn about it." She whistles a song as she works...
Alexis "I should study your kingdom more," Alexis muses as she reachs over to scratch her Arcanine between the ears idly. "The ecology that would facilitate so many poisonous and venomous adaptations in one environment must bet pretty extraordinary, even by Multiversal standards. Typically it's only one or two species that develope such, either as a predator or a defense mechanism."
Sarracenia      Sarracenia giggles. "Have you seen the trees there? Or Piranha Plants? Or the insectoids? When you have trees the size of castle towers and plants that can take bites out of you like sharks I suppose you have to either adapt or go extinct. There is quite a bit of less hazardous life, but they mostly life up high in the canopy where it is harder for the larger plants and animals to reach. Why my family decided to settle there is still a mystery to me."
Alexis "Do you have pitcher plants to go with those flytraps?" Alexis asks with a snicker. "But yeah, how other species have adapted to avoid being predated on is interesting too. There's so much in the natural world that's intertwined that most people don't think about. Fish smells good, Tomoe."
Tomoe Tomoe says "Sounds like A cartoon of Australia in some ways." She smikrs for a moment then she leans back as she leaves the fish to cook over the open fir...Pokemon. She smirks a bit for a moment. "There must have been some reason they settled there right? Lets not talk about plant monsters like that my world now has ... some like ... out of someone's twisted dreams."
Sarracenia      "Really? What's Australia?" Sarracenia asks Tomoe. She smirks at Alexis's question. "You joke, but we do have pitcher plants big enough for a person to fall into and sundews that can wrap up an elephant. That's where the kingdom got its name, after all." she says, then hees. "And my name. Did you know a Sarracenia is a type of predatory plant?"
Alexis The thought of a pitcher plant able to snare a human makes Alexis snicker a bit as it reminds her of James and his deadly yet overly affectionate plant-mons over the years. "Yeah, sarracenias are another type of pitcher plant. Taller and skinnier than the more bulbeous ones that Victreebels resemble." Wags a finger towards Sarra. "Now I did -not- know that sundews are though. Learn something new."
Tomoe Tomoe Says "A contient before the fusion of the VR world to the material? Infamous for some of the most leathal creatures on the face of the earth. Also some of the strangest ones too. I did not but now I know." She look at Alexis. "... Your world ... is quite special though i hear it's losing a lot of bikes lately..."
Sarracenia      "Losing bikes? Is that a big problem on your world, Alexis?" Sarra asks, then gives her Vulpix a squeeze. "I'd be interested to see how the creatures in this Australia compare to the creatures here." she says. She finally gets up and walks around a bit. "It is strange. I did not think this would be any fun. But, in winter all the things that I dreaded seem to be absent. No bugs, no mud. Just snow and forest." She pauses, then looks toward Tomoe. "Is the fish ready? I'm getting hungry." she asks.
Alexis "Except in Galar!... Probably because those are electric bikes powered by Rotoms, they'd know to run the heck away." Alexis retorts with a laugh. Then shrugs at Tomoe. "No, just another Trainer we both know, has terrible luck with bicycles... and the girls that own them when they get trashed somehow. Probably still owes Misty, even after all these years."
Tomoe Tomoe says "Almost give it some time. As for that I'd not suggest that your worlds likely more deadly you got to understand before we merged into the multivese a Goomba or a Prinana plant would be a terror..." She smirks for a moment. "At this rate he'll have to marry her." She bursts out laughing.
Sarracenia      Sarracenia giggles at Tomoe. "They aren't exactly puppies here." she says. She sits down again, looking confused. "In your world losing someone's bike is a reason to marry?" she asks, intrigued. "Although, if they have known each other for years and are not yet married I supposed the chances are not high that he will propose now."
Alexis Alexis just breaks up laughing hard at Sarracenia's befuddled reaction. Tomoe's cooking fire flicks and crackles as Scorch has to stifle his own snickering with a paw to keep from laughing himself out. It takes a moment for them to calm back down, and Alexis gives it a dismissive wave. "She's saying it might be cheaper to marry her instead of trying to pay off the bike damages!" Another fit of giggles follows. Then Alexis pushes off her Arcanine backrest to get up. Stretches. Then saunters towards the tent. "Imma make sure the tent's ready. And that our space heater hasn't set the sleeping bags on fire."

The silouette of another long-eared fox-like form can be seen within the tent looking up, and an indignant "Flar!" at the accusation.

Even as Hinoke kicks the corner of Alexis' sleeping bag with a back paw to fold under the singed edge she had been gnawing on in boredom.
Tomoe Tomoe grins to her friend for a moment as she listns to Alexis and Sara. "Good news first batch of the fish is done, watch it. The fish is hot so take care with eating it." The pokemon who cooked it will get one fish too, while tomoe puts on the next batch...
Sarracenia      Sarracenia pulls out a cloth napkin to take the fish that is offered to her, still looking befuddled until Alexis explains a bit. "Oooh, I see." She giggles a bit before nibbling on her fish. "Alright, now that we have gone camping...how about next time we get together we all go to a spa!"
