[Josh]
   Spruce's plan worked, and he was somehow able to not only knock out the Charizard, but also take an Ice Fang like it was nothing. Josh figured that he'd been using some kind of boosting move for most of the fight. If that was the case, he should be able to hold his own for the rest of the fight, unless the Salamence managed to lucky.

   The Salamence posed much more of a threat to Josh than the Charizard did. Celes could block Dragon Claw without harming herself, but that wouldn't be the case with Ice Fang. He retreated too the back of the group and began to launch Sludge Bombs at the Salamence from a distance, hoping that he wouldn't draw too much attention to himself by doing this.

[Dexter]
   Dexter didn't think that Ember would be enough to knock the Swablu out, but apparently it was weaker than he thought. Now that that was over, they could focus on their mission, at least until another wild Pokemon attacked. Fortunately, this didn't happen for quite some time, and when they did run into another group of Pokemon, it was another team. It was the same one they ran into earlier, and once again the Lopunny ran away. "The fuck is her problem?" Dexter asked. She obviously had some reason for avoiding them.

   Nina then suggested that they take a break, since one of them was starting to get tired. Dexter didn't really expect them to make it all the way to the top without a break. They probably weren't raised in the mountains like he was, and would tire out faster than he would. "Alright, we'll take a break for a few minutes. I don't want either of to pass out from-"
He cut his sentence short when he heard the sound of rustling behind them, which was followed by the sound of someone laughing. He began to slowly approach the source of the sound, ready to attack if something jumped out at him.
