Red had set up a few targets. By a few he had set up nearly two dozen of them. Saur was standing next to him, Red pet the creature on the head and smiled, "You can hit them all, and in order. Come on." Yes, Red numbered the targets too. Red started forward with Saur running next to him. Red didn't have to run too hard because Saur was kind of slow at running around.

Saur launched leaf after leaf into the air hitting one target after another cutting the wooden stands in two at different angles. However the sound of a voice caused Red to call off the large creature from his training. "Huh?" Red looked back toward the statue he arrived at, ran past his jacket snatching it up, "Come on Saur, I think someone arrived like us."

Red got to the metal bean first, followed by Saur a few paces behind him, "Hi!"

"Might be worth getting you to the edge to see if you can feel better than my pokemon can hear," Red had tested the barrier, but Pika warned him away when his senses stopped being helpful. If he had Vee with him he could use Espeon's whiskers to sense through the barrier, or Green's Golduck like at Saffron City.

"It's probably not just fog, fog disorients pretty well if you work from smell and sight, but it shouldn't mess with Pika's ears like it did," Red considered, having something like a ground pokemon might give other options... like a tunnel. He could suggest that later.

"So other than seeing through your feet, what else can 'Earthbenders' do," Red did have guesses, but he has long learned you can only guess lucky so many times. It really helps to know answers every so often.

It was weird to hear that the fog had messed with Pika's ears. Toph had been through fog before, and it just felt like she was going through a cold mist. Her 'sight' is unaffected by it. She put her hand to her chin, thinking about it.

At least, until Red asked an earthbender could do. Toph grinned mischievously. She took one more bite from her pizza, then stood up and cracked her knuckles. With her mouth still mostly full, she answered. "This." There was a statue nearby, and Toph moved as if attacking someone with a form of martial arts, and a ripple went through the concrete. It reached the statue, and it was catapulted a few yards away, landing on it's head. Toph swallowed the pizza and sat back down, satisfied in showing off.
