Bailey winced at the scream before looking at Charlie, thoughts of his other pokemon forgotten. Jess hadn't seemed too concerned, admittedly, and Duskull looked more curious than worried. Maybe nothing was wrong, not if she was the only one thinking something bad could've happened. Bailey coughed and looked to Charlie. "I guess we should hurry then." As if to explain why, she held up the map one last time before folding it back up. Ouvert Way wouldn't be easy to get lost on, but after then the map would probably be important. Duskull nodded and flew ahead. Apparently, Bailey's words had been all the permission he needed. Her eyes widened. "Hey, not so fast!" She broke into a jog - trying to keep Duskull in her sights but not wanting to lose track of Charlie either.

Duskull naturally arrived at the scene first, in time to hear Jess mockingly telling Miu to run. The 12-year-old was bristling.

"Let's see YOU stay calm when that thing's on your face!" The Caterpie fired a String Shot at the Poliwag, getting her feet caught on the ground. "Ugh- Bubble again!" The Poliwag complied. Duskull settled against a tree trunk. The fight didn't last long - the Caterpie's instinct seemed to be to trap the Poliwag, and Miu just kept ordering the same attack. She was probably lucky that Bubble took so long to exhaust and it lasted longer than the Caterpie did. Miu groaned as she walked over to the Poliwag and pulled her free of the string-shot mess left over. "You're gonna learn how to dodge. End of story." The Poliwag chirped in response. Something else did too - a Pidgey emerging from the tall grasses to poke the Caterpie's unconscious body. Duskull saw how Miu's eyes widened. "Everyone shut up." She crept closer to the Pidgey, reaching for her bag; for nothing. The Pidgey saw her and took back off into the grasses.

"Get back here!" And Miu was after it. Duskull blinked and swooped over to Jess, as if to ask if they'd both seen that right. He could hear Bailey catching up; might as well wait a bit.
