Overconfident much?

First topic message reminder :

(Energy: 13-5=8)

Pecha forest seemed the same as usual. A soft breeze was blowing through the trees, causing the leaves to rustle a bit. It was a beautiful day out. The birds were singing, flowers where blooming, on days like these, kids like Pokkoji disrupt the peace. (Sorry, not sorry.)

"Pecha Forest!!! Finally I can explore this place!" The energetic Caterpie  was all over the place. He wanted to go there for a while now. At one point he was climbing in a tree, at another time he was rushing through the bushes. He really was having fun exploring the forest. First he was only exploring around the edge but slowly he went deeper and deeper into the forest. After a while he reached a clearing. He had gotten a bit tired from all the running around. This seems like a good place to rest. I will continue exploring later. I hope to come across some ferals and fight and become stronger. Pokkoji couldn't wait to become a butterfree. Nobody would be able to beat him then.

Sorblit made a little grin as he noticed the Exeggcute being trapped thanks to the string shot. He had a plan of weaken it even more as he used his Leer attack. Looking more threatening at the Exeggcute as they seemed to get affraid now being trapped and threatened. It seemed like this would be the perfect time to attack.

But then the Exeggcute reacted by doing similar motions like they did before right as they used the Poision Seed. This time it seemed more plant like as they showered the Totodile in Leech Seeds as they didn't do anything else as the Leech Seeds planted themselves on Sorblit.

Pokkoji was going to yell out a warning but it was too late. He thought that Sorblit was also going to get covered in Poison Powder but it seemed that the Exeggcute used Leech Seed instead. Either way, this was not good. The Exeggcute was draining Sorblit's energy. They had to knock it out fast. The Caterpie rushed to the enemie, coughing and wheezing, as he tackled it.

As Sorblit and Pokkoji were busy fighting the Exeggcute, another Pokemon appeared. It had been waiting for a moment to catch the egg Pokemon and eat it. The Caterpie also seemed pretty delicious but seeing as it got Poisoned the newcomer didn't want to eat it. A Hoothoot flew out of the nearest tree and landed right next to the Exeggcute. It started pecking at the eggs. They were saved.

Pokkoji was surprised by the appearance of the bird Pokemon. It was weird that it would appear at this hour. He thought Hoothoot were nocturnal Pokemon. Pokkoji shook his head. This was their chance. "Sorblit, let's go. The bird is hungry." Pokkoji turned around and started crawling away. Normally he would not run from a fight but he knew that he could not fight with his condition. Was he weak? No way, he was just ill from the poison. As Pokkoji got further away he could hear the weakening cries of the Exeggcute behind him.

Sorblit was surprised like the others as the Hoothoot joined the fight as another party. He saw the chance too to escape this fight as best as he could not wanting to anger the Hoothoot too into a battle. As he looked over the Caterpie having the idea he was glad even he got some common sense to engage any further.

Sorblit ran, and as he ran tripping a little as he saw the stick on the ground. He quickly grabbed it probably could come into use later on, as he bagged it and ran more following where the Caterpie was going. "Hey, where are we going though?" Sorblit said after the Caterpie.

Pokkoji didn't look back as the Totodile tripped. Pokkoji noticed two Pink gummi's laying there and crawled towards them. They looked familiar to the candy he used to eat, but these were pink and not green. As Pokkoji picked them up and put them in his bag, the ground shifted.

"Huh?" Pokkoji explaimed surprised as the ground started sinking from under him. He was standing on some kind of roster of twigs that was starting to break under his weight. "Uh-oh." Pokkoji tried crawling away before the roster would break but it was too late. The twigs cracked and the Caterpie fell down in the pit. If he had been heavier than he was, the roster would have broken immediately.

Pokkoji looked at the broken twigs. They seemed old and rotten. It was not really surprising someone as light as Pokkoji would break it. The Caterpie coughed a bit and noticed something that seemed like a pair of sticks between the wood. He decided to pick them up and put them in his bag. You never know when something like that is useful.

Sorblit did ran a bit more before hearing something crack very loudly. Looking over he saw the Caterpie for one second before it disappeared into the ground. It did look like a trap, as he got closer over to see if the Caterpie was doing okay. He also took a glance back apparently the Hoothoot finished off the Exeggcute and decided to leave them alone.

Getting close to the hole that was the trap he called out "Hey..Pokkoji? You doing okay? That looked like it hurt" Sorblit said as he looked down the pit. He thought for himself for a moment who would built such a trap and for what purpose it must have been quite an evil thinking Pokémon.

Pokkoji looked up as a familiar voice called out to him. The Poison really was starting to take it's toll on the small Pokemon. "Y-Yeah....Cough cough....I'm fine. This is nothing." The Caterpie tried to be convincing. The fall did hurt, but he could have landed worse. Nothing seemed to be broken at least. He had to get out of the pit now. Seeing as the Totodile was standing there like that, that was Pokkoji's best shot.

"Cough....I'm coming up." The Caterpie said before firing a String Shot at the Totodile. He seemed to somehow manage to hit Sorblit's arm with it. Happy with this, the Caterpie started climbing up, using the String Shot as some type of rope. Right now he only cared about getting out. He didn't consider what the Totodile would think about it.

Sorblit made an unusal eeking noise feeling the string getting attached to his arm. He didn't think being used like this he had his pride too. But he would still help the Caterpie, as he tore off the string shot and held the string up by himself. Helping by pulling the Caterpie slowly out "You could have.. asked you know?" He called out, as he pulled him up trying to avoid losing the Caterpie and letting it fall back.

Sorblit sighed a little as he pulled the Caterpie back up "So you could also say thanks that I helped you out" He said with a smirk, after glancing back down the pit once more. It seemed like this trap would have taken some time to set up, and that the Pokémon who did it will be pretty furious to have someone fall in but not caught.

As Pokkoji finally got out of the pit, he jumped on the ground. He didn't like the behavior of this Totodile for some reason. He might have thanked him but after what he said, he was not going to. Instead, he said something else. "I don't see why I should thank you. I would have gotten out either way. I didn't need your help at all." Pokkoji sounded a bit annoyed. He was not feeling well and hated relying on this Totodile.

The Caterpie crawled a bit away and saw a weird orb laying under a tree. He crawled towards it and picked it up. Then he saw one laying a bit further. Pokkoji decided to pick that one up too. The poor Caterpie kept coughing. He was feeling pretty weak. He was going to end up fainting at this rate.

Sorblit blinked a little being surprised at the reaction of the Caterpie "Alright? Well, should we see if we can find anything in this forest or should we try to get out?" He said as he looked around noticing how the Caterpie found some orbs. He just looked back at the way they came earlier, he probably could find his way out but didn't wanted to leave this Caterpie behind.

Sorblit looked a bit worried, he was weak and this Caterpie looked weaker by the second as he tried to get him to think they should just go and leave the forest and trying to get back to the village. But this Caterpie seemed to be... arrogant? idiotic? overly confident, that seemed to be the word for this Caterpie.

The Caterpie looked at Sorblit when he asked if they should explore more or go back to the Village. The Caterpie knew it was not a good idea to explore the forest further in his state but he was curious about what else they could find here. It was a bit of a hard decision for him.

After thinking it through a bit, he finally decided. "I rather go back to the village now. This poison is not fun." He said in between coughs. Even in his state, he was not going to admit he was weak. Pokkoji looked around a bit. His eyesight was getting a bit blurry. He was wondering what way they should go to.

Sorblit was actually quite surprised that the idea of leaving the forest was okay with Pokkoji. He was weak too but still could walk kind of well. Hoping he could make it back with him, he nodded "Alright, just stay close then, we can find the way probably easy" He said as he turned around.

Sorblit over the time with his brother, learned some tricks to find his way back. He looked around nodding as he did find a way back "Mhm, I can make it back with you if you want, maybe we can explore the forest more in the future?" He said as he began walking watching out for Pokkoji to follow after him and not leaving the Caterpie behind in the current state he was in.

The Caterpie could barely register what the Totodile said. The poison was finally starting to become too much for the small Pokemon. He thought Sorblit said something about going back and exploring again in the future. It was really hard to make out. Pokkoji shook his head, as if he tried to shake of something.

I-I.... He started stammering. He was not able to bring out the words he wanted to say. He was feeling too weak. He couldn't even get frustrated at himself for being this weak. His vision grew blurry and dark. He couldn't go on anymore. I....I can't...hold on. He thought before collapsing on the ground. As he lay there, he drifted away in a world of darkness.

Sorblit was kind of worried about Pokkoji, as he looked at him passing out, walking over quickly and shook him slightly. "Hey? Are you doing okay?" He tried to see if he can wake him up not really feeling good if he ever could. Just hoping the poison won't be deadly, as he looked over and stood still trying to see if he can get any kind of response.

Sorblit made a gasp as he realized the Caterpie has passed out and collapsed. Not wanting to leave him behind like that, he picked him up and got him on his back. Beginning to walk with the passed out Caterpie on his back. Making his way through the forest, he was very cautios as he walked slowly inbetween the trees and looks over from time to time to see the caterpie.

The Caterpie had drifted in a world far away from consciousness. He could hear some vague words but they could not reach him. In this world he felt no pain, nor the poison in his body. Just an eternal darkness. The only thing he had here were his thoughts. Where am I? Is this a dream? I got poisoned...and then everything went dark. It was pretty weird for the Caterpie but at the same time, he was ok with being in this place. I wonder if I died.... He was completely shut out of the world. Just stuck in this pitch black dream until he would wake up.

The Caterpie didn't notice Sorblit picking him up and carrying him away. He strangely didn't feel anything. The condition of the Caterpie was not getting any worse but it could take a while before he would wake up without any help. Leaving the Caterpie out there was surely going to get him killed. He would surely be happy to be alive when he would wake up again.

Sorblit looked a little worried as the Caterpie did not respond. He walked more and more, not trying to think of anything bad happening to the Caterpie. He may have just met him but leaving someone behind wasn't something Sorblit would like to do. Luckily the Caterpie wasn't that heavy and so he made his way out pretty quickly reacing the point when the trees slowly began to get less and less dense.

Reaching the outside of the Pecha Forest, Sorblit's inner navigation didn't trick him as he looked on Grassveil Town. He knew he could trust his senses, as he took one last look at Pokkoji and began walking towards the town, having to find some help for the Caterpie first and then see from there.
