Raku trudged through endless thickets that happened to get taller and taller as he continued his travels. The electrike saved himself from the grassy ocean by finding an old, fallen Pecha tree and leaping onto its grounded trunk. He tilted his head upwards, inhaling the scents of the berry-infested forest. It was quite nice being alone after so much noise from Grassveil town, and he needed something to eat. With a grunt, the short and stout Pokemon dived right back into the intimidating patches of grass and nosed around for a berry to snack on, hoping not to disturb anyone around.

Clara {8} ^{-5 from entry}
Clara was walking along the forest. It was one of the few places she liked to be lately. She had no particular reason for going there that day. She commonly went there to attempt to find where she grew up at. It was one of her goals to find that location.  She noticed another pokemon nearby. She went to hide in the patch of tall grass as the pokemon came close by.
 
By some Miracle the pokemon managed to Jump into the same patch as her. It had jumped straight at her when it entered the patch of tall grass, colliding with her. “AAAAAYEEEE” she shouted as she got knocked back…  She fell backwards after the collision being a bit dazed…

Raku's body was laying dormant on the ground, mind unaware on what just happened and who hit him... Or what is him that hit another Pokemon?
"Who... Are you..." The electrike growled, vision blurry from his pounding head. The green Pokemon steadied himself and managed to stand up for a split second before crumbling to the ground again.
"Apologize," Raku ordered out of no where, discombobulated and not entirely sure if the other force that hurt him was still there.
"I... Hate hit-and-runs," He continued to mutter, voice barely audible. "...If you run, I'll find you, you disrespectful..."

Raku's voice died out along with his strength. The Pokemon no longer struggled and just laid himself gently on the ground, patiently waiting for his injured body to recover itself.

Clara {8}
Clara was still on the ground. The world seemed to spin… “errr… I… I am sorry.” She said as she remained there on the ground. The world was still spinning to her. “I… I was in the way…” she said still laying there… She then sat up and looked towards the pokemon. She did not attempt to stand up though. She saw the pokemon on the ground. “I.. I am so sorry!” she stated as she went to jump up and but she quickly lost her footing and fell onto the ground again. “EEP!”
 
-Thump-

A voice replied to his own which was good. Raku took a deep breath and stood up, looking down at a strange Pokemon he never saw before.
"It's fine, but..." The lightning Pokemon murmured, its high pitched squealing making the nomadic electrike curious. "Never mind, you're beneath my concern now," He shook his head, grabbing the small Pokemon's hand and attempting to pull it up with the strength of his jaws. Raku stepped backwards and lowered in a defensive stance, narrowed eyes piercing right through the few grass blades that towered in front of him.

How ironic... The electrike thought to himself, Seems like other Pokemon are here to eat too, huh. If I spread a rumor... No, no, don't do that. That'd make me dishonorable! What if I...
Raku snapped himself out of his thoughts and stood up, feeling slight vibrations in the ground.
"Do you hear anything?" Raku asked, still using the thin tall grass in front of him as a small shield to make him less visible.

Clara {8}
Clara was then pulled to her feet by the electrike. “Umm… The thanks…” She thanked the pokemon for helping her back up. She looked around for a moment as the electrike  asked if she heard anything.
“N-no… I didn’t…” she stated as she looked around. She didn’t hear anything at all. There was nothing there at the moment. They were all alone there…. From what she could tell at least.
 
She looked around and noticed the wind started to pick up slightly. She then looked towards the sky. It was clear that day…  “Are… Are you sure you heard  something?” she asked the pokemon,

"...It's probably nothing," The electrike sighed, tension between him and the world around him gradually fading away. Raku looked through the grass once more, eyeing the small Pokemon with a condescending look.
"Do you have a name?" He asked, heart feeling a bit more friendly towards the Pokemon. He had just met her, but the stranger seemed so naive and innocent... His guise was contradicting what he really felt inside.
"Do you want an escort out of here?" Raku offered, voice trailing away into the sound of rustling leaves as he bounded past the Pokemon and onto a rock behind her. "I really don't have time to sit here, I'm trying to find something to eat before all the other Pokemon try to take the Pechas."

Clara {8}
Clara looked towards the electrike. “errr. The name is Clara.” She said in a soft tone. “I… I am fine…” she stated when the electrike asked her if she needed an escort out. She then heard him state that he was in a rush searching for food. She looked around for a moment and noticed one of the bushes had some berries within it, although it showed no signs of it on the outside. She knew that there were some there. The flowers on the outside showed that there was possibly some berries on the inside of the bush. It was a trick she had learned a while back when she lived in this forest.
 
She walked over to the bush and grabbed 2 pecha berries from it… Hopefully it would be enough as those were the only ones it had that were edible at the moment.
 
“Here…” she said as she gave the electrike the berries.
 
^{NOTE: The two berries were taken from another one of my character’s inventory for RP purpose…}

The electrike jumped from his perch and in front of Clara, snatching the berries as he looked right at her little hat-looking thing.
"You're alright," Raku complimented before jerking away like a suspicious dog and bounding a few feet away from the strange figure.

Before the green Pokemon decided to ditch the scene and get back to Grassveil, he once again felt something suspicious. His head jerked up, and all five senses were alert again. Raku looked over his shoulder, squinting to ease the struggle of looking through the thicket. Ah, there was Clara. She was alright.
"Mmm..." The electrike debated to himself whether he should go and hang around with her more. "Neh, fine..." Raku muttered, knowing it was the better thing to do instead of abandoning her.
"Clara," He barked, voice emitting from the bushes that surrounded their little clearing. "I once again hear something. Or smell it."

Clara {8}
Clara looked around for a moment. She then turned back to the Electrike. “errr. There isn’t anything here though…” she said after looking around a bit. She then noticed a berry on the ground nearby. She picked it up. It was another Pecha berry, “Here” she handed the Electrike the berry. She looked around for a moment more… She noticed that the Electrike was quite jumpy… She was getting a bit nervous being around him… “I… I have to… err. “ she looked around

"Ehehe..." Raku sheepishly chuckled, taking the berry slowly. "I... Er, I dropped it. Thanks." The electrike felt silly for thinking some enemy Pokemon was around or something just because he dropped a mere Pecha berry.

After a few short awkward moments, he started smiling a bit, pearly teeth peeking out from under his lips.
"Haha. Pretty ironic, a little Pokemon like you being more calm and all..." He joked, leaping into a thicket not too many steps away and shutting his eyes, taking a deep breath. That was excruciating, Raku growled internally, why do I even... Gah, whatever!
The green Pokemon looked over his shoulder, straining his eyes to see through the towering patches of forest grass.
"See ya!" Raku barked, not entirely sure if Clara heard him or not. He started trekking away, using his muzzle to push away any plant in his path. At this point the electrike was feeling quite annoyed with himself, not making a good impression.

Clara {8}
Clara looked at the pokemon as it attempted to cover a simple mistake.
She felt the emotions of the pokemon coming of as someone that is embarrassed. She couldn't tell for sure however it felt like it at least. She isn't the best at reading emotions. She can get certain emotions down pretty well, while others are not that easy.

"ummm bye?" she said in a somewhat awkward voice as she saw the pokemon dart off through one of the bushes. She still felt it's presence becoming less and less obvious as she concentrated on reading the surrounding area.

She sighed and started to walk off in a seemingly random direction besides where she had come from. 'Glad that is over with...' she thought to herself.

Clara {8}
Clara felt a hint of anger come from the general direction she last saw the pokemon she met go. She didn't go over to investigate because she felt it would be best to stay away, even if it was the same pokemon.

She looked around for a moment trying to get an idea of where she currently was in the forest. As usual though, just because you been in the forest before... It doesn't mean it's the same, it is a mystery dungeon.

"I just wish I could find it..." she said to herself softly.

Raku, a bit outraged, let out a weak electric shock towards the pine cone shaped-pokemon. His teeth dug ever so slightly through the held berries' flesh as he let out a simple attack on the Pineco. With a disdainful look, the electrike wiped away the oozed juice on his muzzle with his paw and darted off, holding his food with care, assuming his enemy was paralyzed.
"Now, then," Raku grumbled before skidding to a halt at a particularly large tree. The electrike sat down and faced the large, towering plant with his Pecha berries trapped between him and the trunk to feel more safe. Raku then started munching away like a hungry mutt, tilting his head around and baring his teeth as he chomped downwards to break the berry.
