Well Owen asked Nyao to 'aim' at a tree-stump. In order to decide how to interpret that command all it required was for Nyao and Katsura to share one questioning look after which they nodded at each other simultaneously. The meaning they agreed on was for Nyao to literally aim at the tree-stump. Nyao started inhaling and a bright white glow came out of her mouth, said glow was almost immediately dyed dark purple. "ANGRY... PAW!!" Nyao yelled as the glow turned into a beam flying at the tree stump and in a large explosion broke right through the tree stump leaving behind burning sawdust and a line of scorched earth. The beam in question kept its direction as it the tree stump only halved its power. "Whoa Nyao, you're getting stronger." Katsura said making it ambivalent whether she still uses her false smile or a genuine one. Nevertheless, Nyao smugly nodded to Katsura as if it was a matter of fact. The fact that Nyao was getting closer and closer to champion level was starting to show in her fighting capabilities. After the complete destruction of the tree stump, Nyao ran back to Katsura who instantly started petting her on the back. Nyao and Katsura could act as partners at one moment and as pet and owner the next moment.

"Whoa!" Owen exclaimed as Galahad proved he had quite a powerful attack. "Excellent stuff!" he said, clapping his paws twice. "Heh, always good to see what you're capable of after evolving" he grinned, remembering this advice from when he first digivolved in the Village of Beginnings.
Then Nyao proved that she had an attack after all. "That's great!" Owen said, pleased to see the stump was destroyed. Perhaps Nyao was getting close to evolving too. "Heh, looks like you guys are already pretty good after all" he said. "I don't know what else I can teach you, other than to keep practicing your attacks every day. You never know when you'd need to stop talking and start firing off the, uh, beams of darkness" he chuckled.
"So then. What do you guys want to do next? Continue training or try something else? Oh right, I should tell you guys about food since that's pretty important. Food's easy to find, at least I think. It's either just growing in the ground or in these vending machines scattered around the place" he scratched the back of his head with his paw and gave an awkward smile. "I've got no idea how they got there or how they work, but, that's where the food is".

Both Duncan and Galahad seem impressed with Nyao's attack. Duncan rises to his feet and walks over toward Owen, offering his hand toward the Gaomon.
"I think, perhaps we need to head to a town? We both need to eat and get some rest." Duncan says with a smile. "I thank you for all of your help. Could you point us toward food and a safe place to rest?"
Galahad returns to Duncan's side, then politely inclines his head toward Katsura and Nyao. "It was nice to meet you two as well." Galahad says, stifling a yawn.

When Owen complimented Nyao, it seemed like he didn't think he could teach Nyao more. It was very obvious that Nyao really wanted fighting training. Nyao had her willful look in her eyes. Katsura, however was still as uncomfortable about the idea of Nyao ending up getting in a fight as before. Therefore the idea about getting food was the perfect excuse to abort the fight quickly.
"Did you say vending machines? I haven't seen any of them around." It dismayed Nyao to see that Katsura wasn't as interested in fighting if she could get out it. Nyao jumped into Katsura's arms rather disappointed. Once Nyao returned to stroke Nyao it comforted her to realize that Katsura simply doesn't want Nyao to hurt herself. Even if Katsura considered violence normal, she lacked a fighting spirit herself. Then it seems like Duncan was leaving to get food and a place to rest. While sleeping outside was no issue for Katsura, getting food was a recurring obstacle. She therefore waited patiently for Owen to reveal where to get a cheap meal.
Katsura lowered her head politely to answer Duncan's gesture though she was wondering why he won't sleep outside as Duncan seemed like an army type to her.

"A nearby town?" Owen repeated. "Hmm... towns are a bit scarce this part of the digital world, but the Trailmons in these parts usually run back to Terminus City, that's the capital. There's heaps to do there. I'd be happy to show you how to get there".
He turned to Katsura. "Yeah, vending machines. They're... admittedly a bit hard to see if you're not looking for them, but, they're there" he shrugged, thinking this was just a fact that everyone he knew kind of just accepted.
"So then, if you'd just care to follow me, we'll head over to the Trailmon platform now" Owen continued, the Gaomon putting his bag back on. By now his fur was getting dry, hopefully a brisk walk to the forest station would dry it off completely and spare him from grumbling from the Trailmon about filling his carriages with essence of wet dog.
If the others followed him, they would soon come to a raised platform by a railroad track. The station boards were written in digicode, but the timetable had clear numbers.
"So a Trailmon heads to the city here every... 2 hours or so" Owen said. "And if my sense of time is right, the next one should arrive in about... ah, that's convenient. Ten minutes" Owen looked back at the others. "It'll take a while though, we'd probably get there after dark, but, there is a buffet car on the long distance ones, and the seats are pretty comfy".

"Hey, you're the Guide. You lead I'll follow." Duncan slings his backpack on and scans the surrounding area. It was one thing to sleep under the stars. It's something all together different when there's lord knows what types of monsters around. He looks at Katsura. "Why don't you come with us? This isn't any place for someone to be alone in, especially come night."
He offers her a smile and then watches as Galahad joins Owen in the front. It's amazing, he had just met this Digital Monster days ago and already he couldn't bare the thought of not knowing him. His life would be forever changed.
"So Owen. Got any pointers for a fellow Gaomon you'd mind sharing as we walk?" Galahad had been a rookie for a short time and already his only concern was growing stronger.

It was a genuine surprise for Katsura to find out that there was in fact vending machines scattered around the digital world. Having the opportunity to travel back to Terminus City was something Katsura looked forward to, she hadn't really had time to explore the city the last time she arrived. "So are you ready to return to the city?" Nyao nodded, "Let's go" Sure enough, Duncan invited Katsura to tag along and offered her a smile. Katsura saw that as her que to put out her large friendly smile. Nyao was proud of Katsura for succeeding in having a normal conversation for once, a large step from the awkward timid girl that Nyao was getting used to by now. "It would be an honor" Katsura turned to Owen, "So lead the way?"

"Hmm... tips for a fellow Gaomon" Owen said, putting his paw to his mouth as he thought. "Well, firstly, try not to scratch your ear with your foot. As good as it feels, it's not really dignified" he grinned a little. "Oh yeah, make sure you keep your fur clean. Especially on Earth. Fleas aren't fun... so I'm told"
Anything else? Owen considered further. "Oh, yeah, this is just a bit of a personal opinion, but spinning attacks are a bit, well, stupid. I prefer direct punching attacks instead, so don't be too flashy when you're in combat. Best keep in control I reckon".
It seemed to be common for Gaomons to have a spinning attack called 'double backhand', but Owen didn't use it. His attacks just involved punching and giving a shockwave bark.
So Katsura and Nyao were coming as well? That was fine. Owen hoped to talk to them more on the Trailmon.
As they waited on the platform, soon a Trailmon arrived. Owen saw that he was a C-89 model, and was hauling four carriages. They were mostly empty, a few other Rookie digimon were on board. Owen entered the second carriage, finding opposing seats where they could sit in. He appreciated how comfortable they were.
"So... I take it you haven't heard of the regions of the digital world?" the Gaomon asked the others. "North, West, South, East and the Core? I can tell you some more about them if you want".
