It was a hopeless battle.

Ebony knew this much.

He knew that Scott and Ruby had been taken out and that Scarlet had gone in a different direction; the only unknown was Moss, but it was unlikely he'd even tried to flee.

And the fat girl's team was about as strong as paper. As far as he was concerned, they might as well have not existed at all.

They were deep in a rainforest, so stalling for time in hopes that someone else might show up really didn't seem worth it.

That only left the Umbreon with two options...... he could make a run for it, or he could try and heroically defend this girl and get torn to pieces in hopes that maybe she can help him escape later on.

He was a good runner, but Scizor could fly and both it and Heliolisk were still substantially faster than him, so he wasn't sure he could get away, especially with the river in the way. On the other hand, he very highly doubted that the girl would be able to help him escape unless she happened to be a really fat, slow genius.

But he was a member of a Ranger team, and Ebony decided he might as well put the ideals of the Rangers to good use.

He started with Substitute, creating a clone out of his energy directly in between him and the giant steel bug-thing that was trying to attack him.

The clone Umbreon intercepted the incoming Fury Cutter, stopping the move completely but being destroyed in the process.

Ebony didn't wait around to see the results of his clone's defense, however. As soon as the Substitute was created he started to counterattack.

He knew that Scizor and Gurdurr were well beyond his skill level, so he ignored them entirely. Heliolisk was a more valid target, but it was currently throwing little lightning bolts at what was left of the girl's Pokemon, so he ignored it too.

He had learned fighting the previous poachers what the most effective strategy for dealing with a higher-leveled team was...... taking out its leader, or at least distracting her so she couldn't give orders effectively. Of course, last time he'd had Ruby and a whole extra team supporting him to take advantage of the chaos, but he was much stronger now and if it worked then it had to work now too, right? That was about as far ahead as Ebony could think without Scott and his sister Scarlet helping him.

In any case, stopping Scizor's attack and getting past it was the easy part. The bug had lost sight of him when his Substitute had appeared, and by the time it realized what he had done and started to chase him down Ebony had already sprinted all the way to the thin, demonic-looking female poacher.

Using Quick Attack to put some extra force behind his attack, he leapt into the air and slammed into the poacher right on her collarbone. Considering he weighed more than 50 pounds and she was so thin she almost looked fragile, the collision sent her flying backwards off her feet and onto the ground. The human knocked her head on the root of an oak tree and blacked out for a couple seconds, waking up again to find Ebony sitting on her, one paw (with claws extended) on her throat.

This, of course, was enough to make Scizor stop. The bug did call the attention of its allies over to Ebony, however, so that they were no longer concentrating on Lucie or any of her downed Pokemon. The poacher was smart enough not to say anything that might get him to attack- which, going off of her previous words, was just about anything.

Ebony hesitated on what to do next, however. He couldn't let her get up and he was unwilling to actually communicate with her to get her to recall her Pokemon. The only other option he could think of was to slash her throat open, though, which in the middle of the rainforest was a death sentence.

He never got a chance to figure out his next move, though. Before he could, the poacher boss's Umbreon came flying out of the bushes, striking Ebony squarely in the ribs and launching him a considerable distance into a tree. Ebony was just barely able to get back on his feet when the opposing Umbreon launched a pair of Shadow Balls followed by a sprint forwards to land a hit with Assurance. Unable to dodge the Shadow Balls, Ebony managed to get another Substitute up in time to intercept Assurance.

This time, his substitute survived the attack, and held the boss's Umbreon's attention long enough for Ebony to try flanking with Quick Attack.

But he had already forgotten about Scizor, Heliolisk, and Gurdurr, and the brief fight with the other Umbreon had led him close to Gurdurr.

A simple swing of that giant metal bar that Gurdurr carried was enough to end Ebony's resistance, tossing the him all the way over the boss's Umbreon and into a second tree. While still conscious, Ebony was unable to get back on his feet this time, and his Substitute was quickly dispatched by a lightning bolt from Heliolisk. The battle was over.

While the female poacher was clearly extremely angry at Ebony (and at Scizor, since he/she had let Ebony get past them to attack her), she kept her anger in check for now. The fact that she had needed the boss's Umbreon's help to win the battle clearly didn't sit well with her either, but yelling at that Umbreon was like yelling at the boss and that was essentially suicide......

Instead, she pulled a small firearm out of her pocket. It was a single-shot pistol that fired tranquilizer darts, and she quickly shot Ebony with it right in his neck. Scott's Umbreon was asleep within 30 seconds.

Only Lucie was left now.
________________________________________________

Moss was having a much better time than Ebony was, although he was still in a pretty dire situation.

Unwilling to risk injury to himself and lacking any real battle skills along with the training to use them on his own, Moss had simply stayed put in his Luxury Ball for as long as he possibly could.

And while he had eventually been forced out of his safe spot, the poachers hadn't actually harmed him. Their reasoning was simple; if Moss was normally this passive, he was much more likely to attract a rich buyer on the black market than an aggressive Pokemon like Ruby was. And rich buyers, of course, meant tons of money. Tons of money meant a happy boss. And a happy boss meant all the poacher minions were safe and continued to have a job.

Thus, Moss had simply been stuck in a cage with Ruby. The cage itself was made out of thick steel bars, and was about eight feet long and four feet wide, and four feet tall.

This was the first mistake the poachers made. Moss was't a battler, but he was a healer. Using Heal Bell, he was able to clear the tranquilizer from Ruby's blood, waking her up. Her presence meant, at a minimum, that it would be difficult for the poachers to get him back out of the cage without getting bitten and/or burned.

There was little the two foxes could do, however, besides observe the layout of the base.

It was far more complicated than the base at Mt. Arasam was, and had likely been here for weeks if not months. It was located in a depression in the ground, and the trees around it hid it from aerial observation. It was also surrounded by a log wall, which was hidden from easy view from the outside by the lower terrain the entire base was built on. The only hole in the wall was on the east side, and was used as the entry point. The entry point did not have an actual gate however, so there was no way to stop someone outside from coming into the area.

The interior of the base had three buildings- the boss's house, a second barracks-like house, and a small metal storage shed. Spread out between these buildings were a variety of cages big and small, holding a variety of uncommon and rare Pokemon.

In case the base was found and raided by the Rangers, there was also a set of sandbags in the center of the camp set up like a bunker. The storage shed likely held a variety of weapons and ammunition.

And just like the Arasam base, there was a small silver helicopter parked in an open spot. A hook on the bottom of the helicopter indicated it was used to transport the cages to a different location, possibly a ship located in the seas near the island.

Moss and Ruby's cage was part of a line of four similarly-sized cages. Two of the other cages were currently empty, while the fourth cage held three Growlithe. Across from them were two more cages, these ones twice as large as the one Scott's Pokemon were stuck in; one held a massive Torterra while the other cage held a slightly pudgy Armaldo.

The only other cage in view was of a size in between that of Moss/Ruby's cage and the Torterra/Armaldo cages; this one had the door open, and Scott was chained up inside it. He was currently still out cold, and the Absol- currently in its regular form- was sitting guard at the entrance, ready to call the poacher boss when he woke up.

Laid out on the ground in front of the cage were several weapons, including Scott's sword and his non-lethal gun, a Tazer, and a whip, along with an actual 12-gauge shotgun and the tranquilizer rifle, which had two sets of darts sitting next to it- one filled with a slow-acting poison while the other had the standard anesthetic in it. They were likely to be the boss's tools for revenge.

Sitting in a sunny rear corner of the cage while Ruby sat by the door, Moss had nothing to do but wait.

Unbreakable Team



“That’s for embarrassing me, arsehole,” the poacher said, venom in her voice, after shooting Ebony. She could barely contain her anger, shooting a glare at her Gurdurr, who promptly picked up the fallen pokémon, carrying them on his namesake. Thanking her boss’ Umbreon half-heartedly, mainly out of wounded pride and respect, she walked over to her scarred Scizor, whose demeanor seemed to have changed entirely. Gone was the silent bruiser attitude; now the Scizor looked ashamed and sheepish. With the poacher’s Heliolisk staring at Lucie so she wouldn’t run off, she got out a small knife and promptly jammed it into her Scizor’s chest, making it cry in agony. She slowly and painfully carved a new scar in the insectoid’s chest, enraged and completely uncaring. Since Scizor’s body was hard as steel, this definitely was a long, painful process that did tire out the poacher somewhat. Lucie was stunned to see this… she had been violent with her pokémon, mainly out of petty anger, but never had she tortured them like this.

“Now,” the bony woman said, aiming her cold glare at Lucie now. The pudgy girl froze in fear, sweat dripping down her forehead. Her dress was now three shades darker than it was that morning due to all the sweating… the same reason she was so thirsty (and starving). Panic once again set in her ignorant mind as the skeleton of a poacher drew her pistol once more, this time aiming at her. Lucie had no idea that this was a tranquiliser gun and thought this was a real lethal gun… it sure as hell looked like one. Overcome by fear, Lucie spun on her heels and only had time to take three steps before getting shot in the back of the neck. Yelping, she fell to the ground after losing her balance, still having the presence of mind to fall on her side as not to completely crush Peanut, as she was still holding him.

The poacher sneered at this pathetic display and forced her Scizor to get back up, the tortured pokémon having fallen down from the pain of its new scar. “You carry the fat lass,” she said, voice as cold as her stare, knowing very well that Lucie’s 230 pound frame could easily be carried by her Gurdurr alongside all the knocked out pokémon with a single arm, but she wanted to teach her Scizor a lesson, punish it for failing to protect her. The humanoid bug complied, Lucie’s large body rubbing against the fresh scar and causing a large amount of pain. While the Scizor had extremely powerful prehensile strength in its pincers, as all Scizors did, its master’s previous orders of not harming any of the targets forced it to use its pincers to lift up Lucie’s heavy frame, the pokémon’s lifting strength being much lesser than its prehensile strength. To make things worse, the Scizor knew it would get intensely scolded for its mistake. Its master may have had a meek appearance, but she was as terrifying as a demon when angered.

“Now let’s go, the boss is waiting.” And with that, the malnourished poacher led her team of pokémon (and her boss’ Umbreon) back to HQ, still angry and embarrassed at her humiliating display. In fact, her usually snowy white cheeks were a bit rosy due to her current state of mind. Knowing her boss, Lucie and her pokémon would probably be separated and stuck in cages for selling and/or ransom. “And you… I’ll make sure you pay for what you did,” she said to her Scizor, not even needing to look at it to make herself clear.

Scott’s pokémon would certainly get a grim surprise when the poacher would come back with a fallen Ebony and Lucie’s fallen team…

My Dream Team



Kaya instinctvely brought her hands up as the Poochyenna leapt at her. It was lucky that she did; she managed to catch the pokemon in mid-air. The Pokemon's tooth left a scratch down the back of her hand, but at least it hadn't killed her.

She flung Poochyenna away as it turned to bite her wrist. She wasn't going to get injured and show that she couldn't take care of herself. Besides, there were better ways to deal with agressive Pokemon. She reached for the dusk ball on her belt and released a Drillbur.

"Miner, use mud slap!" Kaya ordered the Drillbur. Miner scooped up some mud and flung it into the poochyenna's face. It growled, backing up a few steps before lungeing at Kaya again. Miner jumped at the Poochyenna, scrathcing it with a set of sharp claws before it could reach Kaya. "Now, Manera, use Shock Wave on Nidoran. Pede-erpat, use Twineedle on Paras." Manera launched a quick jolt of electricity at the Nidoran, wo didn't have time to dodge. Pede-erpatt jabbed its stingers into the cringing Paras, first once, ten again.

The man who owned the Nidoran and Paras was getting impatient. This was turning out to be more trouble than he'd anticipated. This girl looked as though she may be able to handle his Pokemon, and he wasn't willing to take that chance.

"You're not winning this." he said. He pulled a tranquilizer gun out of his belt and aimed it at Kaya. Kaya froze. What else was she supposed to do, with a gun pointed at her? The poacher grinned and pulled the trigger. Manera, the closest of Kaya's Pokemon, tackled Kaya's side, and they both fell to the ground with a whump. Kaya was about to scold her Blitzle when she realized that neither of them were hurt. Te tranqulizer dart had flown past them as they fell, and had hit the Poochyenna's trainer.

"What the(*yawn*) blaza-za-res were you think-thinking?" The hit poacher asked. He stumbled forward a few steps before falling on his face, fast asleep. The poacher scowled at his rotten luck, but he was loading a second dart into his gun. A bandelier beneath is jacket showed that he had several more darts with him.

"You and your Blitzle can dodge 'em all," The poacher said. Kaya knew he was right. She normally wouldn't dream of attacking a human with her Pokemon, but this was a life-or-death situation.

"Manera, use thunder wave on the poacher. Don't hurt him, just paralyze him." The blizle launched a jolt a of static at the man, too busy loading his pistol to dodge. The electricity paralyzed him so that he could hardly move. Kaya calmy walked over to the poacher and tipped him over with one hand. Then she turned to the two poachers' pokemon. "Scram!" she ordered. Paras didn't need to be told twice; it scuttled away as fast as it could go. Nidoran backed up a few paces before walking away. Poochyenna stood it ground, gowling viscously. It had to recieve a warning poke from Pede-erpat's stingers before slinking off.

Kaya got three Oran berries out of her backpack and tossed one each from her pokemon. That should be enough to help them recover. When they had finished eating, she returned Pede-erpat and Miner to their pokeballs.

"Let's go see if Mr. Tough guy's still around," Kaya said to her Blitzle, heading in the direction she'd been following him earlier.

Sebastian West




Jaws and Blade working in unison was a sight to see, the pair simply stuck by their trainers orders and ignored everything else that was happening around them. Blade the Scyther was looking much better after having some time to heal from Pinsir's Vice Grip attack, the mantis pokemon drove one of it's shoulders forward into the stag beetle pokemon's body and made it teeter from side to side. Pinsir looked as though it was about to fall over, however as it was stabilising it's stance, Jaws' Water Gun attack came streaming into the bug pokemon's body and knocked it to the ground.

"That's it you ignorant piece of crap, your going to get what you deserve!"

The angry poacher rapidly pressed at the trigger of his handgun as three bullets went flying towards Pinsir. The defenceless stag beetle pokemon winced in pain as the bullets pierced three different points on Pinsir's body. The poacher then raised his gun and pointed it towards Sebastian, the normally cocky young adult was now frozen like a statue unable to move. The poacher pressed his finger onto the trigger, however no bullets left the handgun. Sebastian was still frozen on the spot as he realised that the poacher had used his last round of bullets on his own pokemon. Whilst the angry poacher was not paying attention to his surroundings, Jaws the Totodile had sneaked up on him and latched his sharp teeth into the poacher's left leg.

"AHHHHH! GET OFF ME YOU LITTLE SHIT!"

Sebastian had snapped out of the seemingly frozen state that he had been in as the young adult started running towards the poacher who had dropped his handgun in an effort to get Jaws detached from his leg. The fiery haired boy from Unova uppercut the poacher as he fell to the ground, knocked unconscious by the blow. Standing over the unconscious body of the poacher, Sebastian realised how easily his life could have been over if the man had better prepared himself with more bullets for his handgun.

& vs.

'Blade the Scyther' and 'Jaws the Totodile' vs. Poacher's Pinsir

Pinsir uses Vice Grip on Blade!
Jaws uses Ice Fang on Pinsir!
Pinsir uses Focus Energy!
Jaws is attempting to use Water Gun on Pinsir!
Blade is attempting to use Quick Attack on Pinsir!
All hell breaks loose!

The poacher outpost was pretty quiet, so Moss was actually almost enjoying himself. He had a sunny spot to sleep in and nobody was bothering him, since Ruby had much more important things on her mind and anyone else who wanted to wake him up would have to get by her first.

Under normal circumstances, he would have slept for the rest of the day and all night long in that sunny position.

However, being stuck in a cage wasn't exactly a normal circumstance, so he was only in a very light sleep when Ruby began growling furiously.

The female poacher had returned with her catch of the day, along with the boss's Umbreon.

Ruby didn't care in the slightest about the fat girl that an injured Scizor was holding, or any of her Pokemon. However, she did care about what the poacher's Gurdurr was holding....... Ebony. Moss simply opened one eye to watch lazily as they approached.

Despite Ruby's furiousity, the door to their cage was opened. Before the Vulpix could make her move, however, Ebony was thrown in at her, knocking her back on top of Moss and causing the older Leafeon to jump up suddenly, which in turn threw her upwards into the top of the cage as well. By the time she had regained her senses the door had been closed and padlocked again.

Lucie and her team were all stuck in the cage right next to theirs. That fat girl took up most of the 8'x4'x4' cage on her own though, and since the cage was only four feet tall there was no way she could stand up.

Since he had already been rudely awakened by having a Vulpix thrown into him, Moss decided he might as well take the effort to wake everyone up. Since he was in the same cage and was known to be an ally, Ebony was woken up with Heal Bell first.

Moss was less sure about Lucie, though. He didn't know if she was an ally or simply someone else who had been caught. To make things worse, her whole team hadn't been tranquilized but rather knocked out, so there was nothing he could do for them at his current level.

But when he looked back at his two "allies" and saw the Vulpix biting the cage bars in a fury while the Umbreon kept awing at the door hoping it would open, he decided that maybe she could find a way to keep those two from driving him insane.

And so he stuck one paw through a gap in the bars into Lucie's cage (there is no space in between the cages), laid the paw on her arm, and used Heal Bell to wake her up. The move took several seconds of constant use to take full effect, and caused his paw to glow a dim green color. When it was done, a soft bell-like sound could be heard.

Then he moved back to his corner and tried to drown out the noise from his two cagemates, while hoping that Lucie would do something to make them all feel better...... or that Scarlet would appear with help.

However, as Lucie woke up, so did Scott. And that only led to more pain for all of his Pokemon as they watched the boss take revenge.
_______________________________________________________

He was barely conscious, and could barely feel the pain anymore.

Ten minutes had passed since he woke up.

Ten whole minutes. Eight of them spent getting attacked by a guy with a grudge.

First came the Tazer. The boss shot Scott in the chest with the two Tazer prongs, then laughed very loudly as he activated the electric current three times in quick succession and watched Scott writhe on the metal floor of the cage.

Then he (forcefully) pulled the prongs out and switched from the Tazer to using the female poacher's Heliolisk by having it run its most powerful electric attacks through the metal cage and into Scott.

This was followed by a brief break to make sure that Scott was still awake, and then the next weapon was Scott's on sword.

Since simply stabbing or slashing him would lead to him dieing of blood loss and ruining the boss's fun, a much more creative- and equally painful, if not even worse- way of causing damage to him was used. A few of the poacher minions had Fire-types, and they started a small fire in a pile of leaves. The blade of the sword was then put into the fire to heat up, and once it was glowing hot, it was pulled out of the fire and (after forcing Scott to roll over) pressed against his back. This, of course, caused him to scream in pain.

Afterwards, the female poacher used the same (but now slightly cooler) sword to burn her Scizor as well. But nobody really payed any attention to that as the boss grabbed Scott's gun.

Instantly realizing that it wasn't actually a real gun since it weighed quite a bit more than it should have, he unloaded the weapon. As it turned out, the clip was full of paintball-like projectiles...... but they weren't actually paintballs.

"These...... are firecracker bombs, are they not?"

Scott wasn't able to answer that question due to the pain he was in, but he did manage a glare at his foe as the boss reloaded the weapon.

Firecracker bombs were a Ranger-only weapon that was used as a nonlethal way to scare off aggressive Pokemon, and to a lesser extent aggressive people as well. They were essentially paintballs, except the paint was removed and replaced with a some unstable compounds that were separated by a very thin piece of plastic inside the ball. When the ball struck something and ruptured, the compounds would mix and react with each other and the oxygen in the air, and explode like a firecracker.

The result was a loud bang and a slight flash of light. By shooting these at the ground around an aggressive Pokemon, it would generally be scared away- and if that didn't work, the projectiles could be shot at the Pokemon itself. The impact would leave welts like regular paintballs, and the explosive compounds also sometimes left minor burns that could easily be treated with things like Rawst berries.

The gun itself was made to look like the common Glock 17 handgun, but it used compressed gas to fire the firecracker bombs and could not fire regular bullets. In addition, as the bombs were slightly bigger than regular paintballs, it could not effectively fire those either. It was essentially a gun designed specifically to fire those exploding paintballs.

The boss gave another long, evil laugh, and then let all of his minions take a turn shooting Scott with the firecracker bombs before he flipped Scott onto his back and unloaded five of the bombs into his chest.

The mistreated Ranger fainted.

"Hmph." Still carrying the nonlethal gun, the boss walked off towards a different set of cages, with some of his minions following him and the rest dispersing. First, however, the unconscious Scott was moved from the cage he was sitting in to a spot next to Ruby/Ebony/Moss's cage. A large metal chain secured him to the cage so he couldn't run away.
____________________________________

Somewhere in the forest not too far away, a small Espeon's ears perked up.

She could hear a fight. Gunshots, even.

She quickly made her way in the direction of the shots, her reddish-brown Ranger vest in full display as she hoped to find some new allies...... or at least take down an unsuspecting poacher or two and steal a gun to use with her telekinetic powers.

It took quite a while after Lucie was dumped into a small cage for her to wake up, and she did so with incoherent mumbles and whines. Smacking her lips sleepily and rubbing her eyes, Lucie sat up, or at least tried to, as she hit her head on the top of the tiny cage, creating a loud clang. She yelped and held the side of her head that hit the cage, the hit having snapped her out of her drowsy trance; she finally noticed where she was: in a cage that was definitely too small for her large frame.

Am I dead? Am… Am I in Hell? Is this what Hell is like…? It’s so hot and gross… I don’t want to rot here…

Lucie sat up much slower and stopped when her head touched the ceiling. She could sit up somewhat, but found herself hunched forward a little. She could see people wandering around, including that skeletal woman. So this wasn’t Hell, it was just these crazies’ hiding hole. Same difference to Lucie, but still.

Then that muscular man from before came into Lucie’s view. He opened Scott’s cage, making her notice it, and just started torturing the poor young man mercilessly. As horrifying as it was physically for Scott, the event had its effect on Lucie’s innocent mind. This did not just happen in TV shows and movies and video games… it was real. Of course, Lucie being Lucie, she was much more worried about the big man doing it to her afterwards since, after a quick scan, she had not noticed anyone else close-by rather than Scott’s well-being. Surprisingly (even to her), Lucie did feel bad for him. She watched him get tortured for eight grueling minutes, hands covering her mouth and mind focused on not screaming or making a single sound.

As soon as the big man left the premises, Lucie’s mind starting racing, panic setting in once again. “This is all a dream… This is all a dream… I… This isn’t real… This doesn’t happen…” she repeated to herself mentally multiple times, starting to pinch her arms and hands. “Wake up wake up wake up… Come on, wake up, Lucie… Just wake up and you’ll be back home… You’ll be the queen again… You won’t be starving… Or running… You can’t be in this cage, Lucie, you’re way too big and amazing and beautiful and powerful to fit in it… No one can hurt you like this, Lucie… You can just scream at the wimpy servants that they should have woken you up when they saw you crying in your sleep… Lily will be back… I… I… Daddy won’t be a criminal… I bet it’s just that stupid TV show I watched before going to bed… I… Please… Just wake up wake up wake uuuup…

As she ranted and pinched herself, tears started to stream down Lucie’s cheeks, the big girl sobbing quietly. “I want my life baaaack…” she croaked pathetically, voice cracking like her psyche was. Shaking more than she ever had, Lucie clung to her knocked out pokémon, seeking the comfort they had given her so many times before despite her abuse, but it simply wouldn’t come. “I want it all ba-ack…” she said to herself quietly, face buried in her pokémon’s fur.

My Dream Team



The scene Kaya stumbled upon was not a very nice one. A Pinisr was laying facedown on the ground with three bullet holes in its back. Nearby was the trainer she'd been following, with another man lying unconscious on the ground. There were also a Totodile and Scyther there, but Kaya wasn't particularly interested in them at the moment.

"What happened here? " Kaya asked. She stared at Pinisr in disbelief. "Is that Pokemon. . . dead?" Kaya wasn't naive, but the idea of somebody shooting a pokemon was something beyond her comprehendion. How could someone be so cruel?

Kaya jumped as an Espeon walked out of the bushes. Was another poacher nearby? Had her attackers' Pokemon simply left to find backup? After a second she noticed the orange Ranger vest Espeon was wearing. So this Pokemon was friendly. And if a ranger's pokemon was here, the ranger was bound to be nearby.

Then Kaya remembered the poacher she'd ordered Manera to paralyze. She was sure that using a pokemon to attack a human was all kinds of illegal. What if the ranger had found out? Kaya had been acting out of self-defense, but that wouldn't be evident just by seeing the paralyzed poacher.

"Those poachers attacked me first. I promise," Kaya said, unsure whether she was speaking to Espeon or its trainer (whom she still didn't see). "I wouldn't have told Manera to paralyze theat one unless it was an emergency." She gestured to where she had come from as an afterthought, in an effort to show that Scyther's trainer and the unconscious man were innocent.

Sebastian West





Sebastian was reflecting upon the now sorted out situation when he was interrupted by the girl from before, the scene that she was greeted by made Sebastian look like he had shot the poachers Pinsir and then knocked the poacher out cold, however that was not how the events took place. The realisation that if the young girl were to report the incident to the rangers would leave Sebastian a criminal in not one region, but two, and he certainly could not afford to let that happen.

"You have to believe me here little girl, this situation was purely this guy's fault."

Sebastian pointed to the unconscious man laying on the ground as he noticed the Pinsir was in a grave state nearby, it was going to need some serious medical attention and fast if it wanted to survive, that was the least of Sebastian's worries though as he was more worried about making sure he kept a clean profile in the Furoh region. Sebastian had been staring the young girl down with an innocent look on his face, trying to use his facial expression as an indicator that he was innocent, however an Espeon wearing what looked like an orange rangers vest appeared from out of the bushes, and at that moment Sebastian knew that he was busted.

"Believe me little girl, I'm innocent! This guy here shot his own Pinsir with his final three bullets and then tried to kill me, so I had to defend myself!"

The story sounded so unlikely to be true as Sebastian realised that it would be hard for someone so young to believe that the poacher had caused serious physical harm to his own pokemon. Sebastian wanted to fled the scene in case a ranger appeared, however he was under the belief that if he were to convince the young girl to vouch for his innocence then he would be okay. Sebastian believed that if he were to be arrested then the authorities around different regions would find out and thus revealing the whereabouts of the criminal from the Unova region, it was mostly just the stress was getting to his head that he was believing such events taking place.

Ruby was understandably furious, considering what had just happened to her Trainer and everything else that had happened prior to the attack.

But there really wasn't much she could do about it. No matter how much she concentrated the fire in her flame sack (in an attempt to make it hotter) before spitting it out, the cage bars would not melt. Biting them didn't do much good either, even with flames mixed in. She was stuck in the cage like everyone else, but just couldn't bring herself to accept that fact.

She prowled around the edges of the cage, looking for any signs of weakness in any parts of the cage bars or door.

Moss had put his nap on pause and reached a paw out of the cage again to try and use Heal Bell to heal Scott's burns. The healing move seemed to be helping with the small burns caused by the modified explosive paintballs, but it wasn't doing much good for the larger burn on his unconscious master's back.

Ebony, meanwhile, had calmed down somewhat. At least, he wasn't endlessly pawing the door anymore, but rather had switched to staring at Lucie. He made no attempt to communicate with her again considering how she had yelled at him last time, but he did seem to think she had a better chance of finding a way out than he or Ruby did......

______________________________________________

Scarlet looked back and forth from the girl to the guy to the poacher lying on the ground out cold to a wounded giant-bug-thing.

She really didn't care about the Pinsir's or the poacher's health, or, for that matter, how they had ended up that way. That would be Scott's job later.

All she cared about was that this pair (although they didn't seem to know each other) had been attacked by the poaching group too, but they had managed to fight off the assault. Granted, they likely hadn't had to fight the Absol-with-wings-thingy that Scott's group had been demolished by, but she'd worry about that when it actually showed up.

She just had to find a way to get their help.

Using the powers of telepathy, Scarlet projected her thoughts into the heads of the two humans, ignoring their Pokemon for the time being.

Since she was only slightly better than her brother at expressing her thoughts through the English language, she also tended to use modified mental pictures of things. She did, however, have the benefit of a much better memory than Ebony did, so she could also replay her own memories for others to see.

And that was just what she did, allowing the two Trainers to see what had happened from the moment she escaped from her Great ball right after the attack to the initial teleport away from danger, then from her viewpoint while hidden in the trees watching the poachers take Scott and Ruby away.

She ended the memory replay with two of the small number of words she was able to say telepathically.

Help us.

Lucie instantly backed up and held her pokémon close to her chest when she saw the Vulpix breathe extremely hot flames at her own cage, seemingly trying to melt the bars (and failing). Wasn’t this damned place hot enough already? At least that had snapped Lucie out of her hysteric trance; her mind was now focused on escaping and not dying. Her breathing was still panicked and heavy, but she wasn’t losing her mind about wanting her old life back. Then, a small shiver went down her spine, which made her look around and notice the same Umbreon that had tried to help her earlier.

“...Thank you for… for, um… for earlier…” she sheepishly said after a very long pause, clearly not used to thanking people and even less used to apologising, seeing as how she simply didn’t apologise for screaming at him earlier.

Another long pause.

“…Did… You’re not hurt, are you…?” she asked just as sheepishly, letting her pokémon rest on her lap and rubbing her arms. “Can… Can your friends help my pokémon? They’re… They’re really hurt, especially Peanut…” she mumbled awkwardly, looking down at her injured Litleo sadly and very gently stroking his side. “A… God, I don’t know what they’re called… A green dog hurt him really badly…” she explained, still looking at Peanut.

((OOC: Snap, I thought I already posted this. Sorry!)

"I believe you", Kaya told Scyther's trainer. He didn't look like he was lying, and Kaya's instinct told her to trust him. "And, for the record," Kaya added as an afterthought, "my name is Kaya. Please stop calling me little girl."

As soon as Kaya finished speaking a she was somewhere else. Or at least she thought she was. The scenery was different, and there were different people and pokemon around. What caught her attention was a scary mutant Abol thing (was it just her, or did it have wings?) and and unconscious ranger on the ground. It wasn't until her the scene faded and she was back with Espeon and the flame-haired trainer that she relaized she'd seen a vision. As the vision faded two words reverberated in her mind: "Help us."

"Did you show us that?" Kaya asked. She didn't even bothe to wait for an answer."Of course I'll help! But, wait. What about Pinisr? Isn't it going to - going to die of we just leave it here?"

Sebastian found it rather surprising that the young girl better known as Kaya could so easily believe what he had told her, she seemed so young and innocent, a contrast to himself that was for sure. Nearby the heavy breathing of the Pinsir could be heard, the stag beetle pokemon looked to be in serious pain thanks to the bullet wounds it's trainer had left in it, Sebastian was okay with leaving the bug to die, however it seemed as though Kaya was not as cold hearted as he was, the only thing that Sebastian could care about at this time was finding his Magby and Elekid.

Sebastian was about the walk away from the scene when he found himself suddenly surrounded by pokemon and humans alike, there was an unconscious guy nearby wearing a rangers vest and even a mutated Absol, how the scenery had changed so quickly was beyond the young adult's train of thought. Before Sebastian could react he found himself back next to Kaya and the Espeon wearing a rangers vest similar to the one that the unconscious guy had been wearing, finally the words 'Help Us' could be heard. It must have been a vision, that was Sebastian's conclusion for the sudden changing of events, maybe the Espeon had psychic powers and was able to show these visions to humans, the voice that Sebastian had heard most certainly sounded like a human's voice. All of these thoughts rushing through Sebastian's mind were making him feel as though he was going insane, Sebastian looked down towards the Espeon with a stern angry look on his face, it was time to interrogate the psychic type pokemon.

"What in the world's going on here? Do you happen to know where my Magby and Elekid have gotten off to?"

Ruby merely cast Lucie a sideways glare and continued with her angry pacing. Moss perked up slightly at the mention of a "green dog" which in some ways could be used to describe him, although he was actually much more tan than green. For the most part, though, he also ignored her, since healing Scott's burns was in his mind more important than listening to a plump girl who thus far hadn't done much more than complain. He had little desire to heal any of Lucie's Pokemon at the moment, either.

Ebony listened, however. Apart from some people using "green dog" to describe a quick look at a Leafeon, the one green dog- well, he considered her a wolf more than a dog- that he knew particularly well happened to be Amber's Electrike, Nikila.

He was injured, but not to the extent of any of Lucie's Pokemon and the injuries weren't particularly bothering him anymore. So he simply responded to Lucie with a mental picture of Nikila, on the hunch that maybe what had initially attacked her was an Electrike. Ebony didn't remember fighting any Electrike last time, but then again he didn't have the best memory...... that was what his sister was for. Of course, he didn't remember fighting that woman poacher who could barely speak understandable English either, so maybe that evil guy had done some recruiting since then.

He really hoped Scarlet was doing okay. She didn't seem to have been caught yet, so maybe they still had a chance at escaping.
____________________________________________________________

Scarlet tilted her head a bit to the side, a habit of hers when she was thinking. She hadn't seen any Magby or Elekid for days, if not weeks, so she simply answered the guy's questions with a "No."

The girl's questions were harder though. Scarlet was not yet much good with psychic barriers, and using one to slow or stop the flow of blood out of an injury was far beyond her level. With enough effort and concentration (and time) she could likely teleport the Pinsir, but with the distance limits it wouldn't do much good anyway.

To put it bluntly, there was simply nothing she could do, except for possibly put the giant bug's pain to an end. She didn't like bugs anyway, and that thing was huge......

However, it was against the creed of a Ranger to kill a Pokemon, even one that was injured.
The poacher, of course, was an entirely different story.

In the end, Scarlet did not answer Kaya at all. She didn't know what to say or how to say it. Honestly, she was surprised these two were taking her seriously at all. She had though it would be harder than this. Then again, the guy didn't seem very cooperative...... and she didn't have time to answer any more questions. Her friends were in danger.

She may not have had any barrier abilities other than Protect, but she was plenty good with telekinesis. Using these powers, she lifted up the downed poacher's handgun, unzipped the big pocket on the back of her vest, and stored the gun inside for further use. Of course, she didn't realize that the gun had no ammunition left, but even then it made a good blunt weapon and she was known to hit things with blunt objects when she was angry.

The Ranger Espeon then turned and began to walk back in the direction she had come from. If the two people wished to help (or simply wanted to beat up more poachers) they would follow her. Sadly, she did not know how to say "come" or "follow" or anything similar, so she remained telepathically silent.

The fact that neither the Vulpix or the Leafeon really paid attention to her really grated on Lucie’s nerves, but before her mood had time to completely turn on a dime once more, the Umbreon projected an image of an Elektrike into her mind, mildly startling her. How the hell it could do that or show that swimming sign, she had no idea, but it was mighty useful for communication.

“I-I… Yes, that’s what attacked us!” she exclaimed, starting to calm down a bit now. “It… um…” she stammered, gently picking up her Litleo, hoping that she wasn’t hurting him. “It… kept running into him… right here,” she said, passing her hand lightly on his side. “And… ohhh, I’m worried, there were loud cracks and I doubt… I doubt that was its skull…” she said a bit grimly.

“I… look, I know I… I know wasn’t… the nicest… but, I’m sure we can help with getting out of here…” she said after a little pause, looking around to see if anyone was around, which wasn’t the case. “I… Praline is a good thief, and she’s small… Pecan’s tiny too and I’m sure he’d be able to focus here…” she said, clearly still worried about her pokémon, especially her Litleo, as she was letting him rest on her lap in a way that didn’t seem to put any strain on his ribs.

“I think I saw a Magby and Elekid earlier, in the jungle,” Kaya said. “I didn’t see where they went, though.” Kaya was looking at Pinisr, not the trainer, and you could tell by her voice she wasn’t really focused on the conversation. She was worried about the dying Pinisr.

Kaya was torn. Of course she was going to help Espeon and its trainer, but she couldn’t just leave Pinisr to die. Kaya couldn’t bear to see any suffering Pokemon without trying to help. On the other hand, what could she do? She didn’t know anything about healing would this grievous, and even if she did, she didn’t have any supplies other than a few berries and herbs.

“Pede-erpat,” she called, releasing the Venipede from its pokembaal. She quickly explained the situation. “What do you think we should do?” Kaya knew she could trust Pede-erpat to help her make decisions like these. He was rational enough to know when it was time to give up on something.

Pede-erpat looked At Pinisr, then motioned toward Espeon, who was beginning to walk away. Kaya nodded and returned the Pede-erpat to his Pokeball. She didn’t want to agree to Pede-erpat’s decision, but she knew he was right. She couldn’t help leaving an Oran Berry where Pinisr could reach before rushing after Espeon.

Sebastian West





Despite Espeon being a psychic type pokemon, Sebastian was having a hard time believing that the Espeon was able to telepathically communicate a truthful message to himself and Kaya, the mensal shaped pokemon was wearing what looked to be like a rangers jacket and for all the young adult from Unova knew, Espeon could be leading them into a trap. Espeon responded to Sebastian's question to the whereabouts of his Magby and Elekid by shaking its head left to right to signal an answer of no, the look on the young adult male's face showed that he was unimpressed by the sun pokemon and the way it was handling itself, Espeon had simply appeared looking to get some help however was unwilling to divulge even the slightest bit of information that Sebastian wanted to know about his rapscallion pair of pokemon.

"No use for that little girl, that piece of crap's only going to die anyway."

It was the look on Kaya's face and the actions that she exhibited she cared about pokemon on a deeper level then Sebastian as she left an Oran berry for the Pinsir that was walking down death road, Kaya then proceeded to chase after the Espeon as it continued to look back to the pair of humans as if signalling for them to follow. Both Espeon and Kaya had been of no assistance in Sebastian's quest to find the run-away pair of Elekid and Magby, the young adult male's facial expression showed that he was unimpressed with how his day had panned out so far. Sebastian was not planning to assist the Espeon in it's quest for help, however the young adult begun to slowly follow the psychic type pokemon, if Magby and Elekid were still somewhere within the large forest then there was a chance that wherever the sun pokemon was leading him could result in finding Magby and Elekid, and if that meant taking this risk of falling into a carefully devised trap that Espeon was leading them into, then so be it.

Ebony tilted his head to the side. The girl said something about cracking? But the Litleo she was holding clearly didn't have any cracks on his skin like he was going to break apart...... he simply didn't understand. And what was that she said about his skull? ...... What was a skull? Ebony, sadly, wasn't the smartest Umbreon in the world.

About all he got from their conversation was that she'd been attacked by an Electrike. He didn't remember seeing an Electrike anywhere though.

After a few moments of thinking about it, he heard the girl say something about stealing. Ebony had used his Covet abilities to their fullest last time he'd fought these people, so that was a good idea. But how to do it?

He never got time to figure that part out before it happened.
______________________________________________________________

Across from the row of cages that held Ebony, Ruby, Moss, Lucie and her team, and the trio of wild Growlithe were a pair of much larger cages for much larger Pokemon. The left cage had a Torterra while the right one had a larger-than-normal, old-looking Armaldo.

Of of the boss poacher's human minions was trying to feed the Armaldo. After all, they couldn't sell something if it was dead.

The Armaldo, however, refused to eat anything.

But the poacher kept trying.

And this made the Armaldo mad.

The larger cages that the two big Pokemon were held in were made out of reinforced steel, compared to the small cages holding Scott's team and Lucie which were more of a lightweight aluminum-steel alloy. This was to try and hold the Pokemon within at all costs.

But, with a pair of Fury Cutters in an X-pattern, the Armaldo cut right through the door of the cage like it was nothing. Of course, the poacher who was standing just outside the doors was also cut open, and then blasted off hit feet with a Water Gun.

The poacher screamed.

This led to yelling from the other poachers and their Pokemon, who made a wide circle around the ginat bug as it stepped out of the cage through the new hole it had created.

Someone shot a tranquilizer dart.

The dart ricocheted off the Armaldo's battle armor and fell to the ground harmlessly.

The wild Armaldo was smart enough to know it couldn't win on its own, so its first plan of attack was to arm more Fury Swipes at the cage next to it. While this failed to cause a very big opening, it did cause enough damage that the wild Torterra simply had to charge at the now-weakened door and all 300 pounds of the grass-and-ground type went flying out of the cage and into some more of the poachers.

And then came total chaos.
________________________________

While it seemed like the boss poacher and his team, along with the female poacher from earlier and her team were missing, the group trying to stop Armaldo and Torterra numbered around a dozen people and four dozen Pokemon. This was clearly too much for the pair, even with as much strength as they had, and they were taken down by the poachers.

However, when the Armaldo was knocked out, it happened to fall on top of the cages containing Ebony/Ruby/Moss and Lucie and her team. While the cages did hold up to the weight, the front end (including the cage doors) were now heavily damaged.

As the poachers tied up Armaldo and Torterra and used their Pokemon to slowly drag them off to the other side of the camp, they all somehow failed to notice the damage. After a few minutes of waiting, only two poachers were left, both of whom had a Murkrow and a Makuhita. The pair had their backs to everyone, staring at the two destroyed cages.

This clearly was the time to attempt to escape, so Ruby moved up to the door of her cage and gave it a slight push. Armaldo's fall had damaged the side of the door with the lock on it, and although the lock was still somewhat functional, when both she and Ebony pushed on the door it was quite apparent that it wouldn't take much effort to break the lock.

Lucie's cage, on the other hand, had taken most of its damage to the side of the cage with the door's hinges. Two of the hinges were now outright broken with the third and last hinge slightly damaged, while the lock was undamaged. This left the door leaning outwards, and probably left Lucie with her own thoughts about escaping.

And while Ebony was a somewhat dumb Umbreon, Ruby was a highly intelligent Vulpix. With just a few "Vul" growls for communication, she gave Ebony her plan.

This plan used Lucie as bait, something Ebony didn't agree with, but he had no better ideas so he went with it......

The first step was to create a Substitute clone of himself inside Lucie's cage. Since only the thin cage bars separated the two cages, this was an easy task. Lucie's cage was pretty full, but there was still enough room for an Umbreon.

The second task was for him and Ruby to attack the door to their cage at the same time as the Substitute tackled the door of Lucie's cage, with both sides aiming at the weakest points of the doors.

With his telepathy, Ebony did the countdown to the attack.

3...... 2...... 1......

The two Ebonys and Ruby rushed forwards and tackled the two cages doors. While Ebony and Ruby managed to separate the lock from the cage and force their way out, Ebony's weak Substitute wasn't so lucky. The clone merely bounced back off of the door, only causing minor damage, so he tried again and got the same result.

For the third try, however, the now-free real Ebony grabbed the bent side of the cage's door from the outside and pulled right as his Substitute tackled the door once more, and the last hinge broke.

With the doors broken, everyone (apart from those three wild Growlithe nearby in a different cage) was now free.

Well, assuming they could stop those two poachers before they could sound the alarm......
______________________________________________________________________________
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unaware of the escape attempt that was now beginning to unfold in the poacher camp, Scarlet continued to lead the way through the forest, eventually arriving back at the small clearing where her team had been attacked.

The fact that Ebony and the girl he'd been chasing after had not shown up probably meant that they had been captured, which concerned Scarlet.

This was especially concerning given that Scarlet had absolutely no tracking abilities. Those had been Ebony's focus, not hers. This meant that even with the scents of multiple poachers and their Pokemon stuck to everything nearby, she had no chance of following the scents back to their origin.

There was also a distinct lack of either blood trails or any tracks they could follow.

She could, however, hear something in the bushes nearby. Concerned about getting attacked again, she hit the bushes with a barrage of Swift stars and heard something cry in pain.

That was when an injured Electrike stumbled out of the bush and fell on the ground in front of the group.

It appeared to have various injuries, some caused by tackles and others caused by what appeared to be a wind-based attack, along with a couple bruises caused by her Swift. Most noticeable, however, was a great big, dark purple bruise right along the left side of the electric wolf as if an angry human had kicked it as hard as they could. Not only that, but its fur was very ragged and the Pokemon was clearly malnourished. It appeared to have been abandoned, and going by the bruise, relatively recently too.

And the only people around to abandon such a Pokemon were either the various Hikers who occasionally visited this deep area of the Fidona rainforests...... and the poachers. And seeing as the poachers had already left that Pinsir to die, it seemed obvious where this Electrike had come from, at least to Scarlet.

But before she could figure out how to tell her new companions that, the Electrike managed to get back on its feet and stumbled over to Kaya.

“…What? Are you deaf or something?” Lucie asked, a little ticked off that the Umbreon didn’t seem to understand her. She wasn’t speaking too quietly and she was enunciating and pronouncing perfectly, what was the matter? However, before she could reiterate her point, a scream shattered the general silence, followed by chaos. A gigantic pokémon (by her standards), never seen before by Lucie, had broken out and was lashing out against its captors. The thing was terrifying, and so was the enormous turtle it set free. Torterra, it was called, that much Lucie knew; it was a popular export for her father.

Keeping her pokémon out in the open was burdensome and dangerous, Lucie thought, especially in these circumstances. Something was bound to happen. Reaching down into her dress through the collar, Lucie grabbed her hidden pokéballs and recalled her beloved pokémon, putting the little orbs back where they were, making sure the makeshift pocket she made inside her oversized dress was still solid. It took her quite a bit of time, panic making her stumble and shake. Today had just been a whirlwind of mood swings, and she couldn’t wait to just lie down and sleep… hopefully eat and drink, too.

Thoughts about food clouded her mind just long enough for her to get lost in it, only to get brutally flung back into reality when the terrifying armored giant bug of a pokémon fell on top of both her and her neighbor’s cages, causing her to let out a shrill shriek and to curl up with her arms covering her head. When she dared open her eyes again, admittedly surprised she was still alive, she saw the Umbreon in her cage. It started tackling the door of her cage, making her take notice that it was damaged.

Lucie’s confused state only became amplified when she saw the Umbreon… also outside her cage? The two broke her cage’s door, allowing the chunky girl to get out. She stretched and rubbed her ample posterior, moaning softly. “Could’ve at least put a cushion in there,” she disgruntledly remarked, before looking at Ebony. She sheepishly thanked him and looked around, noticing the two poachers standing there, looking… not too bright. Shocked and dumbfounded, actually.

“Uh… might wanna do something against these two, I can’t do much and neither can my pokémon,” she told Ebony and Ruby, still looking at the poachers. They were probably armed and way stronger than she was. “In fact, I’ll just… I’ll leave you two to it, you’re doing great!” she uncharacteristically said, before turning on her heels and running away, not getting more than a couple feet away before a familiar voice could be heard in the direction she intended to run.

“What in the bloody hell happened here, you bumbling clots!?” the female poacher from before asked loudly, the scarred Scizor as well as the Heliolisk and Gurdurr in tow. The three pokémon seemed a bit fearful this time, especially the Scizor. Seemingly, this woman was scary enough to instill fear into such powerful pokémon. She still had that big rifle strapped to her back too...

“O-Okay, maybe not, I’ll… I’ll stay with you two, you seem to know what you’re doing, y-yeah,” Lucie muttered nervously, stepping back to Ebony and Ruby, not that it was that far away. It was hard to condemn her for her cowardice, the poor girl was out of shape, scared, ignorant and her pokémon were all knocked out. All she wanted to do was run away, hide and end this damned nightmare that never seemed to end.

My Dream Team



Kaya's heart melted as soon as she Electrike coming towards her. Kaya had a soft spot for Pokemon, especially hurt or helpless ones. How could she not love the the injured little wolf?

Kaya got an Oran Berry out of her backpack. She got down on one kneee and held out the berry. Electrike tore at the berry, almost biting Kaya's fingers in its haste. A few of its smaller bruises faded, and its tail began wagging a little bit. It limped to a nearby patch of grass and nosed a pokeball out of the undergrowth that had hidden it from view.

Kaya picked the Pokeball up. "Is this yours?" she asked. Electrike nodded. Had it maybe belonged to a poacher's victim? It obviously didn't belong to that ranger - it wasn't in uniform - but maybe the poachers had other victims she didn't know about. She'd been atacked by a poacher too. There may have been other victims that weren't able to defend themselves. Something in the back of Kaya's head told her it could have been a poacher's pokemon or abandoned pokemon, but Kaya ignored it. Electrike was too friendly, in Kaya's mind, to belong to an evil poacher, and she couldn't imagine why anyone would want to abandon such a sweet little Pokemon.

"Either way," Kaya said, returning Electrike to its Pokeball, "It wouldn't do to just leave you out here like this. Maybe we can find out who you belong to. They'd be happy to have their Pokemon back, I'm sure." She turned to the flame-haired trainer. "How do you think this little guy ended up in the jungle by himself?"

Sebastian West





It was not very often that Sebastian found himself walking along cautious of his surroundings, the flame-haired trainer was on the edge about possibly being lead into an ambush and so he had decided to keep a detective like view on the slightest of movements in the area surrounding, if he were going to fall into a trap he wanted to give himself a greater chance of reacting to the situation. The young girl known commonly as Kaya was clearly a much more caring trainer then Sebastian, this was obvious as the young adult from Unova watched the girl offer an Oran Berry to an injured Electrike. While Kaya selflessly helped out the injured lightning pokemon, Sebastian continued to survey the area, it was not an everyday occurrence to find a pokemon left for dead in the middle of a forest, even the self confessed bad-boy wasn't willing to stoop to that level. The flame haired trainer turned back to face Kaya and noticed the young girl returning the Electrike into it's pokeball, she then proceeded to question Sebastian about the whole situation.

"Something tells me our encounter with those poachers earlier may not have been a random occurrence"

To Sebastian the events that he had been faced with so far in the day had seemed like random events, however the flame-haired young adult suspected that someone was pulling the strings in a plan that was steadily being implemented. Sebastian released Jaws the Totodile from his pokeball as the big jaw pokemon almost instantly begun to chew on its tail, a bad habit that seemed to put the pokemon in a state of ease.

"Jaws, scout the area and look for anything suspicious looking."

Jaws cocked his head to one side with a quizzical look directed towards his trainer, after being trapped inside his pokeball for a while the big jaw pokemon was unsure of exactly what was going on. The big jaw pokemon momentarily stopped chewing on the end of his tail and begun to walk around the area keeping his eyes wide open and focused primarily on anything that looked slightly out of place, at the same time Sebastian went searching nearby by himself. Suddenly Jaws came running towards his trainer with what looked to be a ripped piece of clothing in it's mouth, the big jaw pokemon had found the ripped item of clothing near what looked to be a tree branch that had only recently been detached from the tree itself. Sebastian took the item out of Jaws' mouth as he observed it closer, it was part of a black shirt by the look of it. Jaws directed his trainer to the spot where he had found the detached tree branch. Sebastian moved swiftly to retrieve Blade's pokeball as he released the mantis pokemon from it's resting place as he gave Blade the ripped piece of clothing, the mantis pokemon looked quizzically at his trainer.

"Take to the air Blade and see if you can find anyone or anything that matches this piece of clothing."

With the ripped item of clothing in his mouth the mantis pokemon took to the air, doing his best to escape the enclosure of trees that shaded them above-head. Blade disappeared out of sight as the mantis pokemon expended a significant amount of energy to keep itself airborne. The clues that Kaya and Sebastian had encountered were beginning to add up piece by piece, the encounter with the poachers earlier, the encounter with an abandoned injured Electrike and a ripped piece of clothing, was it that there were more poachers then the one's that Kaya and he had defeated earlier and they had been more successful in executing their part of the plan then their comrades. Sebastian's suspicion was soon answered as Blade appeared back in sight as the mantis pokemon directed towards a path in the forest, and by the look on the bug type pokemon's face he looked very worried and begun to lead the way.

"Looks like we have company."
