Jason wanted to argue with her, to say that taking a natural course to strength might not be fast enough, but he knew the Amazonian woman was probably right. Trying to rush to strength like a bullheaded idiot with more brawn than sense wasn't going to help him and panicking about what could or could not happen wasn't going to help either, so when she said he needed to rest, he nodded in agreement. "Yeah...yeah, you're right. Rest is probably the smart thing to do here." When she asked him to sit down, he did, humming to himself as he waited and trying to figure out his best route forwards. The woods had to still have their secrets, their undiscovered species of Pokemon. Avem was a good little guy, Starly tended to be, but Lucha and he were both flying types and he knew he didn't want to double up on typing. Actually, I think I'm tripled up on flying right now, with Occisor, Avem and Lucha... His typing for the team could use some work, that was for sure.
The Lombre repeatedly smacked the Leafages as they came, getting ever closer to and closer to its opponent. With more leaves scattered about Tristan ordered Angel to spin once again and... nothing happened. The leaves glowed faintly with green light, but for some reason they would not take off from the ground again Perhaps it was something that needed to be practiced in order to be pulled off consistently.
Its hand came down and smashed the opposing grass-type back though it was a trade of blows. After all, Angel still used Rapid Spin. The Lombre was smacked in the face by an errant leafy hand before it landed its blow against Angel. The little plant was sent flying back and perhaps that would've scared Tristan though perhaps he had not really noticed it yet, but the diva was somehow nimbler than before. It was like she was gliding about in the air though that should not have been a surprise. After all, Rapid Spin and her previous attack increased her speed by two-fold. At this moment, she was just barely faster than her opponent.
"We still have the momentum! Use Mega Drain!" Ordered Ramos.
A sickly green energy glowed around the Lombre and it then it darted forward towards Angel.
"Of course I'm right. Now, relax. I'm going to make some food." She placed some kindling in her woodstove, small sticks that were made from cutting logs down further and further until their diameter resembled that of a matchstick. Carefully she placed a match in the heart of the kindling pile, and it took a little bit of time for the fire to really catch, but eventually it became strong enough that she threw three smaller logs inside it and slammed the door shut. Jason would feel the room become warmer, if not slightly uncomfortably so if he was heavily dressed, as the logs caught fire.
It was actually quite the device that stove. It had rivets on the top that allowed for stove top cooking and an oven. If Jason watched, he would see that she was rough chopping various vegetables, onions, carrots, peppers, celery, potato, and so on before throwing them into a pot filled with premade stock. It was a sweet smell; warm spices filled the air and was soon accompanied by the smell of bread baking in the oven. Obviously, she had made the dough prior to Jason arriving at her doorstep. Then at some point she pulled out a grate full of mushrooms of various shapes and sizes that she soon chopped up and fried on the stove. The scent of mushrooms was accompanied by rosemary and thyme.
Now that Jason had a moment to sit down and actually look around there was something off about the cabin; there were no personal effects. Yes, there was furniture, but they looked like they were scrapped together crudely just to be functional enough to be used for moderate comfort and durable enough to take some punishment. They were tools with no emotional sentimentality attached to them. What was weird was that there was nothing in the cabin that was not like that. There were no pictures, no meaningless knick knacks, or anything, nothing that showed anything about her life or whatever her life was before living in these woods. It was all rugged and cold utilitarianism.
However, those thoughts would probably have been pushed to the side as food was placed in front of him. A bowl of soup with a red surprisingly red stock packed to the brim with vegetables, a big hunk of bread with butter on the side, and a pile of mushrooms on a plate. Now, it was questionable if the food would've been good. After all, her coffee would've been considered cruel and unusual punishment. However, this was actually good. The soup was light and refreshing with an acidic kick towards the end, the bread was light and fluffy, and the mushrooms were very much meaty, herbaceous, and savory.
So, they could act out the meal or just move forward.

Pokémon Storage System
Tristan was nervous and anxious as he watched the battle continuing to unfold and when the flickering glows from the flowers started had him tensing.
Only for it to falter shortly after, leaving the teen disappointed and frustrated.*Hngh! Why didn't it work? Ugh... guess it requires some special conditions?* Thought Tristan; irked by this fact, but this also meant there was something there and it was possible. He needed to figure out what it was that triggered the incident.
Something that he unfortunately had no time to focus on, amidst the on-going battle against a most rather aggressive Lombre. Contemplating whether to try again or not, when he saw Angel getting pushed back; indeed scaring him both from the shock and surprise at Angel's improved nimbleness.
With that bit exchange over, Tristan took a moment to release his breath, having not noticing doing so.
Though his initial plans failed and while Lombre was seemingly landing decent hits, he could see Angel was still in pretty good health, to his relief. And apparently faster?.* Was this a side-effect of the rapid-spin?* The perplexed teen thought. This was unexpected and showed just how little he knew about pokemon and how their moves worked. Then there was whatever Angel nearly pulled off; a feat they would definitely do.
"We still have the momentum! Use Mega Drain!"
The man's words caught Tristan's attention." Tch, we will see about that! Don't underestimate Angel's nimble beauty!" He called back in challenge.
Deciding to put off on attempting the leaves again, instead chose to take on a risk. With Angel's current state and taking into account Lombre's attack..." Don't worry about dodging, Angel! Instead charge and build up speed with rapid-spin and slam into that mega-drain with your all!" Tristan cried out, the teen clenching his teeth at knowingly having her take the hit.
But, if this worked out then the benefits might get him the edge needed.
Ahem, perhaps it was not something that needed special conditions, but practice? Or bullshit anime logic? Who knows? I'm just a disembodied voice that no one can actually hear.
Well, Rapid Spin's speed boosting effects would actually work if they made contact with the target. However, fate decided that Tristan rolled high enough. Anime bullshit logic it is. Angel's speed was beginning to pull up the leaves from her previous attack and spun around her. The leaves ripped up the grass up from beneath and sputtered all over the crowd watching them. A particular large patch of earth hit Louis square in the chest, leaving a brown blotchy stain on his nice suit.
"Are you bloody-?!"
But we don't care about Louis. What was important that Angel rushed towards the energy sapping beams of light with her swarming leaves and broke through! The Gossifleur charged and the Lombre was slashed by a series of leaves before being knocked on its back with X's for eyes.
Louis, in his ruined suit, lifted a handkerchief towards Tristan. "Lombre is unable to battle! Gossifluer wins!"
Just has he said that Tristan's Pokedex rang with notifications.
Angel is now level 11! The combination of Rapid Spin and Leafage created a new move. Would you like to name it?
Meanwhile, Ramos rubbed his chin with a grin. "Oh ho? How interesting. Maybe my instincts were right about you, sprout. Don't celebrate just yet. The real fight starts now." He grabbed one more Pokeball from his belt and out from it came his final Pokemon. It was this large green and red bipedal lizard with a singular long leaf protruding from its head and leaves protruding from the sides of its wrists and two leaves for a tail. It stared at Tristan with cool, collected yellow eyes.
Pokédex Entry #253 – Grovyle, the Wood Gecko Pokémon. Grovyle leaps from branch to branch in large trees, moving with ease. It propels itself with astounding speed and force.
Again, his Pokedex chimed in.
Warning, this Pokemon is higher level than the rest of your team. Proceed with caution.
The Grovyle held in its hand a green with an ochre yellow tip and tossed it in its mouth. It chewed on the seed and as soon as it swallowed it, green energy began to emit a green light.
Grovyle ate a Grassy Seed. Defense increased by one stage due to the garden! Grass Seed consumed! Unburden was activated! Grovyle's speed has doubled!
This thing was a raid boss. Ramos had not given any orders to the Grovyle yet. He was waiting to see what Tristan would do.
After a meal and a rest, Jason stood outside the cabin with Helga by his side.
"Well, I guess this is it. You better see that scientist or whoever ask you to check down the shrine." In case Jason forgot, he originally went to find the shrine at the request of Professor Jacquelyn who was probably still waiting for him in the Scholar District. It had been a while, so it would've been easy to forget.
Anyway, the titan of a woman stood there with her arms crossed, uneasy. "Again, I'm sorry. I never imagined that things would've escalated like this." There was definitely guilt there, but acceptance of what she had done. However, she still had that look that she knew more than what she was letting on though her lips were sealed. "Remember the favor I asked in return? Consider it null and void since I never really expected you to actually do it. However, what I said wasn't a lie. The moss found on Ekans in Blue Lichen Cave is quite useful for medicine. If you do catch one, bring it to me and I will reward you. The least I can do after all of that."
Goodbyes were said, yada yada yada.
Well after all of that, Jason had the reigns returned for his journey. What do he want to do?
Helga's Cabin
To find this cabin this deep in the woods meant someone really went out of their way to find this place. Anyone could tell that if a person lived all the way out there, then they were someone that wanted to be well enough alone. It was a dark, damp place; the only source of light were those coming from the cabin itself. At first glance it would appear that way, but there were more orbs of light floating around and with no close inspection needed they were all Pumpkaboo of great proportions though apart from that they seemed to be the only Pokemon to be around.
Pokedex Entry #710-Pumpkaboo, the Pumpkin Pokemon. Supersized Pumpkaboo are very partial to the spirits of people who were of similarly superior proportions. Pumpkaboo of this size are said to be the product of areas where a great number of lost souls lingered.
The cabin itself was well maintained on the outside though one could hardly imagine anyone living somewhere like this. It was completely isolated from the rest of the world, true isolation. There were no people, no civilization, nothing. In most cases, most people run away from finding a lone cabin in the woods in fear of being chopped up into tiny pieces or find someone in a hockey mask rise from the water. Is whatever that needs to be done worth it?
1. Find Pokémon.Can be specified what kind of Pokémon is being searched for, and how you search 2. Talk. Only one person here to talk to. 3. Exit. Exit the area. 4. Specify. If you specify what you want to do, the GM will take it into account and tell the result. 5. Trigger random event. Force the GM to use his imagination to make a scenario for you. 6. Go to the cabin. Knock on it. See what happens.
Common: #710-Pumpkaboo
If he decides to leave.
Deep Starbor Woods
Deep Starbor Woods was a place that many actively avoided and perhaps for good reason. The mist that permeated the area cutdown the visibility within the woods and somehow, the canopy above was thicker than before, making it darker. This was a tad big dangerous as there were some drops that if someone were not paying attention, they would find themselves with some very broken limbs or fall in a river down below. That is if they don't fall in some webs and find themselves on the wrong end of a hungry bug-type. Actually, people just needed to be careful of these webs in general as they were littered all over the place.
Due to the lack of people travelling and lack of people volunteering to enter, the path that led to the Deep Woods was essentially now just a dirt, rocky path covered with moss. Yes, this place was not exactly a place that experienced a lot of foot-traffic in general, but that meant that there were possibly encounters that people had limited experience about or never had seen before.
From what can be seen, the Pokemon responsible for all of the webs in the area were these green spiders with markings meant to scare predators away from them.
Pokédex Entry #167 – Spinarak, the String Spit Pokémon. With threads from its mouth, it fashions sturdy webs that won't break even if you set a rock on them. Although the poison from its fangs isn't that strong, it's potent enough to weaken prey that gets caught in its web.
There were also these horned caterpillar things with big, pink, round noses and every now and again, sentient yellow cocoons could be seen hanging above from strings of white.
Pokédex Entry #013 – Weedle, the Hairy Bug Pokémon. Weedle has an extremely acute sense of smell. It is capable of distinguishing its favorite kinds of leaves from those it dislikes just by sniffing with its big red proboscis (nose).
Pokédex Entry #014 – Kakuna, the Cocoon Pokémon. Kakuna remains virtually immobile as it clings to a tree. However, on the inside, it is extremely busy as it prepares for its coming evolution. This is evident from how hot the shell becomes to the touch.
However, the main reason as to why many people avoided took the form of very angry bees with drills for arms. You know what they are.
Pokédex Entry #015 – Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokémon. Beedrill is extremely territorial. No one should ever approach its nest—this is for their own safety. If angered, they will attack in a furious swarm.
However, there was something else that Jason could do. He could hear three voices off in the distance though it was up to him if he wanted to approach.

@Joshua Tamashii@Remram Well first of all, Steph was just bored now with all the wild mons avoiding her. Couldn't really blame the poor lads, but it certainly put a dampener on her mood.
Steph's reaction to the scenario was just a simple sigh and shake of her head. She was a real pushover ain't she? Not spineless, just a pushover, the too nice for ya own good type of pushover. Well, if she wouldn't punish the little shite head then Steph was going to have to-wait where did the little bastard go?! Seems like he scurried off and up further into the tree, so Steph just sighed again and followed after the others.
As they went deeper in, the presence of the Spinaraks and their effect on Feya gave Steph a good little thing to chuckle at. She knew she wasn't the biggest fan of bug types, no offense Glory, but this was just humorous to her. And while the temptation to maybe catch one was there, none of the bugs available really caught her interest at this moment.
"Sao haow much fuhthah in eh? Dunnao if Faya's heart cahn tyke much moah of these craypy crawloys heh." Taking the chance to give her newfound friend a gentle little ribbing, even making a wriggling finger gesture like moving spider legs at the taller girl. "If yah daon't loike em thaht much Feya, should use yoah Growlithe t' kayp em awhy. Wehkin a chahm roigh' ovah heah, ine't thaht roigh' Dusk?"
None of the bugs had really bothered her since they saw her decimating the local wildlife earlier. Though seeing a Beedril did give the girl a few more dangerous thoughts, she still didn't care much for them so left them bee. Though as she spoke, she would give her partner a little chin scratch and he would make Torchwick noises in return.
Otherwise she was ready to combat whatever might stop em from heading further in, if anything did. She had enough methods to deal with bugs after all.

Amelia was glad when the Aipom gave up on bothering her without much effort after she made it a point to just let it get away with it's prank. She was happier still that Steph didn't try to pick a fight with it. Sure, Amelia probably looked like a total pushover but she was fine with that. The Aipom had simply been trying to get her upset and there was no need to amuse it. So with that done and out of the way, he lead the way deeper into the woods.
The woods only got darker as they got further in and soon a slight fog was surrounding them. Amelia smiled and almost relaxed as she felt the familiar sensation of the visible condensation as it played across her skin. Mist and fog did not bother her and she welcomed them both, as they made things feel cooler and to her they just felt nice. What did not feel nice where the webs left by the bug types in the area, causing Amelia to slow down as she carefully navigated around them while her partners helped warn her of any dangers on the ground. The presence of the Bug-Types did not bother her, save the Beedrill, which put even her one edge. Afterall, the large Bug/Poison types were territorial and therefore unpredictable since their party didn't know what they might consider to be their territory. Plus, with her heart, she was sure she would fall victim to them fairly easily.
Her attention so focused on her surroundings, Freya suddenly letting out a scream that would probably reach Arceus' place in the heaven. The young girl turned to face her companion, thankful to see she had just been freaked out by a Spinarak. When Freya asked her question concerning the Ghosts, Amelia took a second to answer, noticeably taking a second to check her pulse and take a deep breath to calm down and steady her heart, all the while listening for any possibly aggravated Beedrill. Once her heart stopped beating in her ears and she didn't hear any buzzing, she took a second to focus on the ghostly presences she felt. Once she knew where they were, she turned in their direction, pointing ahead. "They're a bit further that way. Watch your step and lets try to avoid making any more loud noises. I don't think the Beedrill will be happy if we disturb them and I don't think I'll last if I have to run away from them. Not to mention we'd probably get caught in all the webs if we did try running." She said. "I know it's hard Miss Freya but we should take our time. Rushing seems like it'll just result in more trouble for us, in more way then one. And Miss Steph, please don't pick a fight here. One wrong move and we'd have a swarm upon us I think."
With her part being said, Amelia would continue to move on, watching her surroundings and especially the Beedrill. If she got any sort of indication they would be stepping into their territory, she would begin trying to find a work around before continuing on.

As he started heading back out of the deep woods, Jason found himself unsure of the exact path forwards he wanted to take. On the one hand, he knew he needed to get stronger, raise his team and get them ready for whatever shenanigans he was going to find himself involved in moving forwards. He also needed to get back to Jacquelyn, update her on what he had actually found. What do I even tell her? Turned nothing up? Nah, I've been gone too long for that...Could give her a false story, just some ruins that indicated a shrine elsewhere...actually, that might work. At the very least it would give her a boost of serotonin for a bit, maybe convince her to actually rest. Jason could still see the coffee Zombie she'd been when he last saw her clearly in his head and shoot it. Seemed it was back to the Scholar district for him then. Then he'd go find that Blue Lichen Cave, mainly cause he was a fan of spelunking and he hadn't gotten to put his gear to use this whole time. And so he followed a Pumpkaboo back out, listening for anything out of the ordinary around him.

Tristan could only stand and wait with abated breath; hands up covering his face to protect against the wind and leaves being kicked all about.* Holy Arceus! Angel?! My hair!* The teen mentally screamed with panicked anticipation.
Then the clash ended and with it, the swirling leaves died down leaving Tristan stunned in place. He had not expected such a move to occur, and it wasn't until he heard the beep of his pokedex signaling an alert.
Angel is now level 11! The combination of Rapid Spin and Leafage created a new move. Would you like to name it?
As the voice spoke, Tristan felt his mind return; shocked at not only having such insane results. Incredulously, somehow seemed to have led him to create a combination move? This, combined with the sight of Angel standing victorious; made all the better upon seeing Loise's annoyance at having his suit dirty his suit. The teen might have smirked about it, if his attention wasn't on the field, though he did feel for the suit, dreading the mud seeping into the fabric.
With this, Tristan found himself in an unexpectedly advantageous situation, his opponent was already down to their last and he still had his full team. And yet, still, Tristan couldn't bring himself to cheer or brag in his usual manner.
He should be celebrating and cheering Angel on, but Ramos's lax attitude, even now had him standing anxiously as nervous beads of sweat dripped down his face, then the older gentleman spoke.
"Oh ho? How interesting. Maybe my instincts were right about you, sprout. Don't celebrate just yet. The real fight starts now."
Ramos last words left Tristan tensing up; hands balling up, almost as if he could feel that this final Pokemon would be different. As such, he could not bring himself to respond, his throat too dry.
And much like the fear the silver-haired teen felt was soon proven warranted as Ramos's Grovyle revealed itself, but immediately something was different. Tristan's concerns weren't over as he soon got the prompt on Raid Boss, who was now amped-up on some grass seed buff?!
" ....The hell old man!?" Spluttered the exasperated teen, who had since lost track of new techs and capabilities of pokemon. And now he had that monstrous, yet intricately cool grass mon; one he would admire were it not about to shred his team to pieces.
At least that was how it appeared to Tristan. Gulping, Tristan tried to think on how to proceed. Sticking with Angel was a bad idea as she was probably winded from going so hard on the spinning and the match-up. But it would mean giving up Angel's buffs and grass type defense buff.
He appreciated Ramos giving him time to plan out his next move, as the Grovyle was definitely overwhelming for the inexperienced newbie trainer. Regardeless, Angel needed a break; after some more contemplating, while scanning the field.
One thing was clear, a direct confrontation was not going to work, especially against such a buffed grovyle. And its speed would likely be terrifying too.
With these thoughts in mind, Trista decided on a multi-step plan." Hmph, about time someone recognized my skills." A moment's pause to enjoy the compliment." And neat trick with this raid boss surprise, but unfortunately, this time you're up against a Glory, and when this is over you will all revel in mine!"
The teen responded in challenge before holding out Angel's Pokeball." Wonderful job, Angel. Get yourself a breather." After recalling Angel, he swapped and called out the glittering Magenta bird, King!
A red beam followed by frantic chirping upon being hit by Grovyle's intense presence." I know things look scary, king. But don't worry I got a plan." King gave a fierce cry, showing his confidence against the overwhelming odd before the small bird.
Determined, the two were ready to go." Quick, King! Use Haze to obscure the field and use it as cover to hide, use the covering to try and hit Grovyle with feather dance! Most of all avoid getting too close for now!" Giving his orders, straining to maintain a brave face, the sweat and nervousness in his eyes betrayed such attempts.

Okay, Rosa had a point. She hadn't actually stopped to think about the fact Tristan was kinda cute, but then there was the fact that she heard him rant about being the greatest trainer ever before she ever really got a look at his face. So maybe her opinion was skewed. Something else that she wasn't exactly cluing Rosa in on was that Tristan had been willing to go along with her reckless plan to go into the forest earlier. Before she lost her own nerve. So a willingness to go along with her hairbrained plans was a bonus. What fun was it to get into trouble alone when you could have someone watching your back?
"Well, you're welcome to join us to see if you get an idea. Like I said, Tristan's not as bad as he first seems."
Which reminded her of the stone in her pocket and the Eevee at her side. Just in time for their ride to get there. His help getting all the pokemon healed up at least crossed one more thing off her to-do list. And giving over the bit of metal she had on her - some can goods and her camping saw) to the Tinkatink that helped her checked off another thing. Partially.
While Faye may have missed opportunities to snap some pictures of the Tinkatinks working on their weapons before she interrupted them, she seized the chance to capture a plenty of pictures of the pokemon working with the burly rancher to get the engine relocated. Mr. Anderson was even nice enough to give them a ride directly to Critical Capture, which Faye was especially grateful for given she knew she'd be hiking most of her entire journey just to avoid missing as much as she could avoid missing. With several parting thanks, she entered the store.
Maybe she shouldn't have been surprised by how excited the shopkeep was, but at least she didn't look it given even in his excitement he still voiced what he had before - that it might not have been something she could fix. "Yeah, well, it was easy once it got down to it. Glad it was something relatively easy to settle. Though I'm still not entirely sure why the Tinkatinks thought an engine would be better for their clubs than any of the tools the farmer had laying about." She shrugged lightly, and a smile brightened her look.
She blinked when Rosa piped up, and looked a bit sheepish. "Oh, yeah. That'd be awful kind of you to spare some for her too. If it wasn't for Rosa here, that truck might not be getting repaired and on its way here. By the way, do yo have any scrap metal you could sell me? Thanks!
With that paid for, and Rosa's deal done, the trainer stepped outside. There were two conversations with Pokemon that she needed to have, but the most pressing one first...the tinkatink she had put in a pokeball to just help take it for healing before she realized Rosa's dad was going to help them out with it. The purple haired trainer released the Tinkatink she hadn't rightfully caught from its pokeball and crouched down. She held out the scrap metal to it. "I promised you lot you could have some metal if you gave up that engine. While we took it from you, I still want you to have something to make better clubs with. The other one got the metal I offered before, and this is for you. You're welcome to come with me, but I'm not going to make you. If you do come with me, I promise I'll keep you safe and help make sure you always have the best club you can. Just like I'm going to do for Titania. So...will you come with me? Or do you want to go join your other friend - just promise not to steal any more engines, okay?"
