A Bright New Beginning

A young Treecko lay in one of the many trees of Pecha Forest. She'd picked a nice branch, right where the sunlight could warm her skin without first having to filter through the leafy canopy of the forest. It had been a while since she'd just relaxed like this. Back in her old home of Icicle Woods she'd had to watch out for almost everything, as her typing was definitely no advantage there. She kind of missed it to be honest. It might not have been the nicest of places, but it was home. It was where she'd grown up.

Nevertheless, she'd made her decision to see the rest of the world, or at least some of it. She was here now and she'd decided to make the most of it rather than dwelling on what she missed of her old home. Grassveil Town was supposed to be around this area... but that could wait. For now she'd just enjoy the warmth and sunlight.

A young Eevee explored her way out of Grassveil and bounded into a nearby forest that she wished to sought out treasure and items in. She had virtually nothing, and was in desperate need of anything at all. Berries to munch on, items to wear, and even just things she could end up selling to get poke. The forest may have been small, but it reminded her of her old Clan she once lived in. She would be easily able to dash about, still being stealthy, and perhaps catch some weak Pokemon. Of course, this place was much different, and in the town, a lot of Pokemon she would once eat were civilized. It made her uncomfortable, so she came back here.

She would most likely have to refrain from hunting, since she might accidentally attack a creature that wasn't feral, so it was best she would resort to finding berries and plants to eat and stock instead. She was plenty wary if a Pokemon, civil or not, chose to attack her.

No amount of relief anyone could normally feel would ever compare to the amount of relief Scorpio felt when entering Pecha Forest After having to go through a poisonous, smog filled Venen Gulch, and the dark shrouded areas of Shadowhue Forest, traveling through this fairly peaceful place was an incredible godsend to him. The forest was bright, colorful, and smelled like fresh berries, completely contrasting with all of those other places. "Wow...I never thought it would be feel so good to enter a forest like this." Scorpio said as he continued walking, finally feeling calm while he did so. Heck, he may even try to fly now, as doing so in the other areas was near impossible.

Twayblade had let her eyes droop closed after a while of lazing in the sun. She'd fallen into a sort of light sleep, which she was quickly woken from as the soft sounds of footsteps drew closer. Her defensive instincts, honed over years of living in a wood where almost anything could overpower her, caused her to glance down at the ground. Spotting that it wasn't a false alarm, and that there was an individual approaching, the Treecko silently flipped over so that she was laying on her stomach instead of her back, allowing her to more easily watch the ground.

Sanja: {14}

Sanja used Quick Attack to speed through the forest with ease, and stopped suddenly in the middle of a clearing, her mane swishing at the sudden change in velocity, and her ears perking up in a dart. What she heard continued. It was the wind rustling the leaves in a tree. Her ears drew back with annoyance as she realized she was being a little to attentive, and should just relax for a while to keep her adrenaline down. After all, she was looking for berries, which couldn't move on their own.

The fox Pokemon bent her legs, resting on her elbows and haunches, resting on the ground silently in the middle of the forest, some light leaking in from above. It felt nice and warm on her pelt, causing her to wrap her tail along the side of her body, and rested her chin on her forepaws. Her eyes only eased closed for a moment until she heard walking. Her head bounced up quickly, pupils narrow, and turned her head to look behind her. She eased up off her legs and turned carefully, tail lashing and staring ahead as a purple sort of Pokemon walked in, causing Sanja to crouch quickly in preparation to attack if it dared. She waited for its first reaction.

As Scorpio continued walking further into the forest, he got a bit more confident. There didn't seem to be anything around the area, and the trees were fairly spread out. Perfect for some flying practice. "Alright then, this should be a good time to do some flying. Maybe I can do good this time!" Scorpio said before spreading his wings and leaping up into the air, ready to fly. Feeling the wind flow against him while doing so reminded the Gligar about how much fun it was to do so. However, he was soon also reminded of his clumsiness as Scorpio began to lose his balance and fall downward. "No no no!" He said, not wanting to stop already, but it was inevitable. The Gligar eventually crashed face first into a nearby tree, something getting rustled due to the impact.

Twayblade had been so busy observing the Eevee that had sat itself in the clearing below that she hadn't been as attentive to the Gligar until he nearly crashed into her. She managed to dodge out of his way and he hit the tree instead, but the result had Twayblade hanging from a branch by her front feet. The countless tiny spikes that adorned her feet allowed her to cling on to the bark of the branch even as the tree shook from the impact.

Pulling herself back up, she ignored the sunbathing Eevee for now in favour of her concern for the Gligar that had nearly knocked her out of the tree.
"Are you alright?" she asked, clearly concerned for his well-being after such a hit.

Sanja: {14}

The Eevee continued to glare at the purple Pokemon, which she eventually determined to be a Gligar, which then proceeded to crash into the nearest tree, knocking a Treecko off of its balance on a branch. It clung on by just a hair, and managed to stay clung on. When it spoke, that was the key evidence that the grass-type most likely wasn't a wild Pokemon, but still she didn't trust anyone yet.

She walked underneath the tree and looked upwards, sitting below the two Pokemon that were able to get up there, while Sanja didn't think it was a good idea to climb up and join them.
"I'm not usually to judge a situation, but that was hilarious. Okay, I lied, I judge all the time," she said, beginning to pace around the tree to see them better, head straining upwards. But a movement from behind her adverted her attention, which surely meant that some wild Pokemon were nearby, bringing the Eevee back to her defensive stance.

Scorpio feel to a nearby branch after his crash, his head hurting a little from the impact. After doing this so many times, his head became somewhat resistant to the pain from these kinds of crashes. It still hurt, but not to the point where he needed some healing or anything. After rubbing his head, the Gligar noticed the Treecko on the same branch, and the Eevee below them who taunted him. "Yeah, I'm fine...this is normal..." He said, embarrassed that two others had witnessed his clumsy crashing. Before he could think about that too much, Scorpio saw a bunch of wild Pokemon heading towards the tree they were all at. "Um...I don't know you two...but I do know that we should move right now." He said, pointing toward all the wild Pokemon he saw, sad that the piece he had before in this forest was basically gone now,

Energy: 0

Twayblade's concern overrode the need to glare at the Eevee for her rather inappropriate comment, but the Treecko managed a small smile of relief when he said he was fine, although she was curious as to why such an occurrence would be normal to him.

Nevertheless she nodded, "As long as you're alright."
The Wood Gecko Pokemon turned her attention to the matter at hand, following the Gligar's claw toward where a small group, made up of a Zigzagoon, an Aipom, a Ledyba, a Murkrow and a Pineco were approaching.

Dropping down from the tree, Twayblade landed neatly on the ground, bending her knees as she did to help absorb the impact. She remained on her toes as the pokemon native to the forest drew closer, half expecting such a group to just attack like most individuals back in Icicle Woods might. However, when the sounds of bickering reached her ears instead, Twayblade found herself curious as to what was going on.

The group appeared to be having a rather serious argument as they walked, with the Murkrow and Zigzagoon especially, talking in rather loud and angry tones. The other three weren't quite as loud, but they chimed in now and again as an insult would come their way or they felt the need to weigh in.

Sanja: {14}

While the Gligar pointed out the huge mob of wild Pokemon, Sanja was already prepared to attack them. The Treecko seemed to join the Eevee on the ground, which made her feel less likely to be defeated by what seemed to be an on-the-road monster house. It wasn't like all the feral creatures ambushed them from seemingly nowhere, but instead they just waltzed right in. Usually groups this big stayed in one place, waiting for a wandering team.

The wild gang seemed to have no knowledge of stealthiness, since two of them were the loudest things Sanja had ever heard, so less intelligence most likely meant easier to take down with tactics. And the Eevee's style was through speed, which could be especially easy when used against the slower Pokemon like Pineco. She threatened with a testy Growl, warning them that if they bothered to attack, they meant business.

The group of Pokemon got closer and closer to the trio, with the Gligar getting a good look at what they all were. There were some normal types, bug types, flying types, and a rock type. There were even some poison types similar to the one he found in the Venen Gulch. With the variety of Pokemon typing, Scorpio wasn't feeling to confident in the case that he and the other two would have to fight them. However, they didn't seem too interested in fighting, at least physically. They seemed to be arguing with each other about something which he couldn't hear to well. Maybe if they got away, the trio wouldn't have to get involved in a battle. At least that's what he thought.

"Maybe we should just go and leave them to do whatever they're doing..." Scorpio said, wanting both him, the Treecko, and the Eevee to avoid a confrontation.

"Well if you hadn't stolen it I wouldn't be angry with you!" yelled the Murkrow in it's squawking tones.
"I didn't steal anything you idiot!" replied the female Zigzagoon loudly, "Maybe you should ask Quinn about it. She's always messing with everyone anyway."
The Aipom who had been mostly quiet suddenly jumped into the argument with a growl, "I take offense to that! I didn't steal nothin' either!"
The Murkrow ignored the Aipom for now, the Zigzagoon still his prime suspect, "Oi! Don't try and shift blame! I know you can't resist just taking stuff. You and your damn Pickup! Just give it back and we can move on!"
"I didn't take anything!" the Zigzagoon replied, tone going from a loud shout to an angry growl.

"Would you guys just quiet down. We're being stared at," the female Pineco commented quietly, drawing everyone's attention to Twayblade, Sanja and Scorpio.


Twayblade blinked at the approaching group. They seemed less concerned with the fact that she and the two others were in the area and more on the argument they were having about some sort of theft? The group didn't seem to have even noticed that they were here-
So much for that, the Treecko thought soon as the group all turned towards them at the Pineco's quiet words.

The Wood Gecko Pokemon was cautious of the Eevee's suddenly quite aggressive stance. It looked like that one could be quite unpredictable without minding what others thought, if her previous comments were anything to go by.

Twayblade had been about to say something, but before she could the Eevee from before had Growled at the approaching group of five. One of them at least seemed to take great offense to this, the Zigzagoon growling back before charging forwards.

"I think it's a bit late for that," frowned Twayblade at the incoming Zigzagoon, her comment aimed at the Gligar's wish to leave them alone. Said Zigzagoon kicked up an admirable amount of dust with it's tail and flicked it towards the trio.

"Oi! Don't just run off! I'm not done with you yet!" Came an angry squawk from the Murkrow, who took off and followed the Zigzagoon. However he looked like he was more concerned with attacking his 'friend' than the three who had just met, clasping his beak around the Tiny Raccoon's tail after she had finished her Sand-Attack.

Twayblade acted quickly and covered her eyes with her cloak, moving to also shield the Eevee from the sand and hoping that the Gligar had the forethought to attempt to do something similar from his place in the tree's branches.

Sanja: {14 - 7 (Pokemon) = 7 - 2 (Items) = 5}

The squabbling Pokemon kept getting nearer and nearer, causing the skin on Sanja's back to ripple, causing her fur to stand on end. The Gligar made a suggestion, which the Eevee really did not want to follow. Instead, she pointed her ears to the arguing Pokemon until words were able to be made out.

"Well if you hadn't stolen it I wouldn't be angry with you!"
"I didn't steal anything you idiot! Maybe you should ask Quinn about it. She's always messing with everyone anyway."
"I take offense to that! I didn't steal nothin' either!"
"Oi! Don't try and shift blame! I know you can't resist just taking stuff. You and your damn Pickup! Just give it back and we can move on!"
"I didn't take anything!"
"Would you guys just quiet down. We're being stared at,"

As the Pineco directed attention to the party of three, Sanja crouched lower and continued to snarl. The Zigzagoon was the one to react, charging to Sanja with a Quick Attack and Growl. She prepared to dodge an impact, but instead it heeled around and struck the ground with its tail, sending sand flying towards them. The Eevee squinted as an immediate reaction, opening her eyes again to see the Treecko in front of her, shielding her from the spray of sand. That opened a bit of trusting in Sanja toward the grass type, but in the meantime they had a group of Pokemon to face.

The Murkrow dragged the Zigzagoon back to where the rest of the party was, and began to ramble on about his anger, insisting that the normal type was his only true enemy until she started speaking up about what he knew she did. The dark type seemed to think the raccoon Pokemon had stolen something from him. What anarchy.

Observing the large group, it seemed to consist mostly of Murkrow, Pineco and Ledyba, with two Aipoms around the general front of the pack, and one poison type who's gender Sanja could not make out, since it was too hidden by all the other Pokemon. There was also a tall, expressionless Sudowoodo standing in the middle of the mix, towering over all the rest.

But a flash of movement was caught out of the corner of Sanja's eyes. She looked up quickly to spot what it was. A Hoothoot landed on a high tree branch, glaring at the large pack of Pokemon. It was waiting for something as it narrowed its eyes. It was hard for the Eevee to keep track of both the party and the owl at once.

It one huge blow of her paw, the Zigzagoon broke away from the Murkrow and made a run for it, dashing with a Quick Attack away from him, dropping a couple of items as she ran. The dark type glared at her, overcome with anger from the situation. And then, a flash of movement again and it struck from above. The Hoothoot flew down from the tree and grabbed the Zigzagoon in its talons, and flew away past the tree it was sitting in and out of sight. Sanja was too surprised to even bother to see what kind of expression the gang and the Murkrow had after the event. She did see all the Ledyba, who didn't seem truly part of the gang, run away as fast as possible in the same direction the Zigzagoon was trying to escape.

((OOC: Sorry for the long delay. See you after my 4 hour drive back home))

Scorpio could hear the group of Pokemon talk about some kind of theft, and apparently there was some confusion about exactly who stole something. The blame for whatever it was seemed to be on the Zigzagoon, and everyone other than the Aipom was set on antagonizing her. However, what he really focused on was the fact that they had noticed him, the Treecko, and the Eevee. The Zigzagoon which was being accused of theft dashed out towards them, probably in rage after what had happened in conversation. It sent up a Sand Attack at all of them, the huge dust cloud getting in the Gligar's eyes and causing him to fall off the tree and onto the ground. "Oh...that hurt alot..." Scorpio said, trying to wipe it out of his eyes and get out of this potentially dangerous situation.
