Through the Shadows and the Forests...

Scorpio the Gligar seemed to have the worst luck when it came to the places he ended up walking through. First a poisonous gulch with smog filling the entire area, and now a large forest which was completely covered in darkness. The trees stretched for what seemed like a never ending length in every direction, the large leaves on them blocking out any source of sunlight, making it incredibly hard to see too much at all. The lone Gligar was walking through the forest, with the intention of getting to the nearest town, but found this difficult due to how dark it was and how every area seemed to look the same. That meant there was no real indicator of progress in this place, causing him to become more confused and scared as time went on.

"Oh man... it feels like I've been wandering this place for hours, and I still can't find a way out. I have to find the exit before some strong wild Pokemon shows up..." Scorpio said as he moved a bit faster, hoping that some sort of path to freedom would reveal itself...hopefully.

Lumina padded through Shadowhue Forest calmly. She wasn't on an adventure today, just a walk through the neighborhood forest dungeon for a walk. If an adventure came her way, Lumina would take it, but if nothing happened, she was ok with that as well. After all the excitement and all the pokemon she had met in Fallen Leaf Copse while trying to solve that riddle, Lumina was ready for some solitude.

Scorpio continued walking through the Shadowhue Forest, still unable to find anything close to an exit. All he found was more bushes, large trees, and of course darkness. At the very least, he hadn't run into any wild Pokemon or anything. Still, he knew that in the wild like this, wild Pokemon were bound to appear at some point, which only made the Gligar more scared. "Come on...there has to be some kind of way out. Maybe someone who knows where to go..." Scorpio said as he kept going. He knew that he could fly to go faster, but with the darkness and his clumsiness that wouldn't be a good idea.

Lumina continued her calm walk through the shadowed pines and tall oak trees. She stopped for a moment to pick some pine needles out of her paw with her teeth. The needles stuck to her paws like honey from the sap that was still on them. She huffed and rolled her eyes, moving away from the pine trees. She looked around at the still forest, only to see something moving in the distance. She stiffened, the fur along her spine rising in readiness, and she crept under a bush to wait, eyes focused on the thing that was slowly moving towards her, ready to pounce if it turned out to be a feral pokemon.

Scorpio eventually heard something, a bush rustling as if someone was in it. There had been mostly silence up until now, so finally hearing something startled the Gligar. He thought that it must have been a wild Pokemon or something similar. Not wanting to start a fight in a place like this with an opponent he didn't even know anything about, getting as far away as possible from this noise was Scorpio's main objective. He started moving a bit faster, hoping that whatever he heard hadn't seen him yet so that he could get away.

Lumina's eyes narrowed as the pokemon finally appeared - a gligar, walking through the forest. She frowned. Why was it walking instead of flying? It seemed weird to her that a flying type would bother to walk on their feet when they had wings. She poked her head out of the bushes and looked at the gligar. "Why do you bother walking on feet when you have wings?" She asked curiously.

Scorpio turned around upon hearing a voice behind him. He saw that the thing he heard before was a Vulpix, popping it's head out of the nearby bush. From the fact that she was talking normally and not trying to attack him, it seemed like she might not be a wild Pokemon, which was a huge relief to the Gligar. "Well, it's because the dark area around here would prevent me from seeing to well...also, who are you?" Scorpio asked, wanting to make sure that the Vulpix was friendly, or at least not wanting to attack him.

Lumina crawled out from under the bush, shaking herself as she did so to rid the leaves and twigs from her fur. "I'm Lumina. And I guess that makes sense," she admitted. She looked around the dark forest, her ears twitching as they picked up on some sounds through the trees. "Watch out!" she warned as a slakoth dropped down from the trees above and a paras scuttled out from beneath a bush. She growled at the paras and spat flames at it, circling the pokemon in a ring of fire.

"Nice to meet you...I'm Scorpio." He said, glad that this vulpix seemed to be fairly nice. However, this moment of peace wouldn't last for long, as she pointed out some sounds around them, which were cause by a few wild Pokemon that began to surround them. However, not only was there a Paras and Slakoth, but there was also another Paras coming towards them and a Flabebe. All of them looked like they were ready to right them, which put the Gligar on edge. "Oh no...we have some trouble now..."

Lumina turned to see more pokemon heading towards them. "Well, I hope you're good at fighting, Scorpio," she commented, before leaping at the slakoth, her fur seemingly turning to fire as she wreathed herself in flames. She cried out in pain as it scratched her, but focused a payback attack on the slakoth, knocking it out effectively. She then leapt through the ring of fire that surrounded the paras and tackled it, knocking out the bug pokemon. She then turned to see how the gligar was doing with his own enemies.

"Wait, but we don't have to fight them!" He said to the Vulpix, not wanting to engage in battle with so many Pokemon. She didn't listen to him however, and the Gligar was left to fight the other two Pokemon. "Guess I don't have any choice." Scorpio said before the Paras leaped at him for a Scratch attack. "Get away!" He said before using Metal Claw, swatting the bug away like his claw was a fly swatter. He hadn't expected that to be so easy, and that actually raised his confidence a little bit about this. With this confidence, the Gligar leaped towards the Flabebe with another Metal Claw. In response, it used Fairy Wind on him, pushing Scorpio back. However, he them used Poison Sting as he was being pushed back, the super effective stings talking out the fairy flower. He feel back on the ground, but looked to see his opponents knocked out.

"Well...that went a lot better than I thought it would go. Good thing those were the only Pokemon." Scorpio said, smiling at the easy encounter before hearing something coming towards him. Before he could reach, a Heracross came out of nowhere and Tackled the Gligar, knocking him back into a nearby tree. "Oh, of course it wouldn't be easy..."

Lumina noted that the gligar seemed pretty good at handling himself... up until he failed to notice the heracross sneaking up on him. She ran towards the two pokemon, only to be stopped by a Venemoth hurling a silver wind at her. Lumina fell back, crying out in pain as the dust from the wind scraped across her pelt, causing long scratches to appear along her sides. She growled and spat fire at the moth pokemon, causing it to flee in panic as its wings were set alight.

Lumina turned to help the gligar, only to once again be stopped -this time by a duo of paras. She growled and focused her mind for a moment, causing a small light to appear and circle around one of the paras, causing a look of disconcertment on its face before it turned and attacked its ally. The other paras squealed and tackled its companion, and the two pokemon rolled away into the bushes.

The Tackle from the Heracross took the wind out of the Gligar for a little bit, eventually getting back up after the hit. He saw the Vulpix fighting off the other Pokemon, seeing her take out or scare practically all of them. All of them, except for the Heracross which was charging back at him for another Tackle. Not wanting to take another hit, the Gligar used Sand Attack, slashing his pincers across the ground to create a dust cloud in front of the bug type. It's eyes got filled with sand, and caused the Heracross to lose it's sight momentarily, causing it to crash into the tree Scorpio got sent to before. "Well...that happened..." He said, wondering how that actually worked.

Lumina turned at the gligar's comment, and nodded cheerfully. "yup, for sure. You've got some nice moves on you," She complimented, sitting down and licking at a paw, smoothing down her ruffled fur calmly. "So, what brought you to the forest if you can't see very well, and thus can't fly, ruining one of your greatest advantages, as a flying type pokemon?" She questioned the gligar curiously. It was all well and good for a pokemon like her to wander Shadowhue Forest alone, but from what she'd seen, the gligar had been having troubles in an enclosed space like this. What would prompt the pokemon to come to a place he was at a disadvantage in?

"Oh, really? Well, thanks. You have some nice moves too." Scorpio said, surprised that he was actually being acknowledged for fighting ability, something very rare for him. He almost thought it was a joke, as the Gligar didn't think he did much else other than get lucky. Still, it was nice that he got a compliment. "Well, I'm just trying to find the closest town or city...I don't even know how I ended up here...So what about you, miss?" Scorpio asked, wanting to know more about the Vulpix, knowing that having someone on his side would be helpful in a place like this.
