Alex watched as the others made their way to their respective guides, and he quickly did the same. Alex made his way to a gruff, older looking gentleman. Once Alex got closer the man gave a professional nod to the boy and began to speak. "Hello there Mister Rhodes. My name is Sebastian and I will be your guide to the ranch. Now if you would please follow me I'll lead to the ranch you'll be staying at."

It didn't take long to reach his new place of residence and rather fortunately Sebastian didn't seem like much of a talker as the walk there was mostly quiet. Fine by Alex of course he was sure that Thomas was a much more stimulating conversationalist.

They spoke of random topics but fairly soon Sebastian had led them to their temporary residence. It was clearly an older building in design and to Alex's surprise seemed quite small, only slightly larger than his mothers humble ranch it seemed. "Here you are sir. It's one Of the older buildings on Aria but it should suit your needs quiet well. Do you have any other need of me sir?"

Alex shook his head in the negative, quickly waving Sebastian off, something which the old butler was more than happy to oblige, silently taking his leave.

Alex gave a quick once over of the building. It was old certainly and possibly not very well maintained, being quite decrepit in a few areas. He gave a brief sigh but said nothing more. It was not bad enough in shape to horribly inconvenience Alex and yet it seemed in bad enough shape to appeal to a wide range of ghost types. His Pokémon at least would be happy enough here.

Alex looked at Thomas with a smirk. "Well I guess it's time to get the rest of the gang here huh?" he immediately walked outside the ranch, giving enough space for his friends to stretch their legs. Soon enough his poke balls threw through the air releasing his team. He watched with a measure of concern as Ghast went off on her own no doubt to cause some kind of trouble. The others however were content to explore the surrounding area.

"You guys have fun I'm going to get the others. And Lancer please keep an eye on things. Don't let Ghast get into to much trouble." With that he went into the ranch and quickly transferred the rest of his Pokémon from the ranch to his person. Once they were released the others all began to explore the surroundings. All save for Letty who made a point to jump into Alex's arms sending him plummeting to the ground with her weight. "it's good to see you too Letty" He spoke with a smile and a slight chuckle.
