[color=8dc73f]"Err, Mable, Mokai doesn't have a gym system."[/color] Hiro sighed. [color=8dc73f]"Well, whatever, be careful on your way. I'll probably see you there."[/color] Without another word, Hiro rushed into the forest again. Gods he was frustrated, he hadn't expected Mable to just leave them, but he didn't have the time or patience to persuade her. Once more sending out Buizel as a scout, Hiro managed to cover good distance before running into anything. When he did run into a pokémon, he could not be bothered to stop, and kept running, quickly leaving the pokémon behind him.

Eventually, Hiro found himself at the berry trees again. He was tired now though, his frustration had gotten him decently far in a relatively short time, but it couldn't keep him going forever. Exhausted, Hiro sat down against the tree he'd made his his outpost the previous day. When he sat down, he finally realized how hungry he was. He hadn't eaten since yesterday. He carefully peeked around the tree, relieved to see the Bewear wasn't there. Digging up some rations from his bag, he fed his pokémon and then ate something himself. [color=8dc73f][i]I should've gone to Imamu first...[/i][/color] Regretting his choice of rushing in alone, Hiro decided he'd need a plan if he'd want to achieve anything. After several minutes of contemplating, Hiro decided to try looking at things from a new, higher perspective. 

Having climbed into the tree Hiro could see quite a ways over the treetops. That should help him navigate at least, and he had enough rations for several days as well. [color=8dc73f]"Maaaaaaaaarleeeeeeeeeennnnnneee!"[/color] Hiro called out from above the trees. His voice carried for quite a distance, as signaled by several bird pokémon flying up from there roosts all around him. Even if it wasn't a great plan, it was the only pllan he had, and he'd stick with it, climbing another tree and shouting again in hope of a response after roughly every half hour of walking.

Mable was now on her own again, as Hiro had once more run off and left her behind. Two roads opened up before her, she could either go through the forest or follow the road, which seemed to wind around the forest.

Marlene's pokémon seemed tired after their night of standing guard. They'd need to rest soon, even Mudbray, though he was it out for his trainer was getting tired. Pokémon needed sleep too, after all. Dewpider seemed fine however, albeit a little reluctant to walk on its own. It seems he slacked off while Mudbray kept guard. Wild pokémon were starting to wake up too, a sign of trouble to come...?
