Juana held on tight to her Pokémon. The Nidorino, shaking its head and recovering from the Flame Burst it took, shot out a bunch of poisonous barbs that scattered on the ground in front of Pezi. "Shoot, it's Toxic Spikes," Juana muttered. "Nobody move!"

The Nidorino charged again, scattering the poison barbs as it ran towards the Trainers.

"Skorupi! Stop it!" Juana called. Skorupi let out a hiss, pulled itself out of the vines, and landed on Nidorino's face, obstructing the angry Pokémon's vision. The Nidorino veered off and tripped into a bush, tangling itself in brambles. Skorupi wasn't bothered due to its hard exoskeleton, but Nidorino struggled to escape.

"Okay. Bounsweet, Rapid Spin. We gotta get rid of those spikes," Juana said.

Bounsweet whirled around and around, blowing the barbs away where they wouldn't harm anyone.

"Great job!" Juana shouted, calling Skorupi back. Bounsweet grabbed onto Juana with its mouth as she passed by, and the three Trainers were able to escape.

When Pezi let go, Juana collapsed on her bottom and took a deep breath. "That was [i]way[/i] too close," Juana agreed. "Nice save, Tora."

She looked back at the direction from which they came. "That Nidorino... I know muy loco when I see it, and lemme tell you, that Nidorino was [i]definitely muy loco.[/i] I'm beginning to suspect there's a little more going on here than a dog running off. Because that wild look in that Nidorino..."

Juana stood up. She pressed the button on her newly-captured Togepi's Poké Ball, and the spiky Pokémon popped out.

"Togi-togi..." Togepi whimpered, rocking back and forth on its side and shivering.

"Poor guy..." Juana muttered, picking up the frightened Togepi and cradling it. She checked her Pokédex.

[i]"Togepi. The Spike Ball Pokémon. Fairy-type. Ability: Serene Grace. Nature: Timid. Often lost in thought.

"As its energy, Togepi uses the positive emotions of compassion and pleasure exuded by people and Pokémon. This Pokémon then stores up feelings of happiness inside its shell, then shares them with others."[/i]

Juana gave Togepi a concerned look. "Sure doesn't look very happy right now," she said. She looked up at Tora and Cillian. "Okay, um, so do you guys want to take a break right now? Our Pokémon look kind of winded, and quite frankly I'm a bit fried after almost getting gutted by a Nidorino."

[i]Gotta be more careful next time,[/i] Juana thought to herself.

To calm Togepi down, Juana dug into her tool belt and produced one Rare Candy. She unwrapped the candy and fed it to the Togepi. The fairy Pokémon's shivering slowed a bit as it lost itself in the sweetness.

Given the fact that stuff like Torterra and Nidorino exist in this place, Juana thought it best to raise Bounsweet's level one as well, and as such, she fed a candy to the fruit Pokémon.

"Is everybody else feeling alright?" Juana asked. "I hope that wasn't too much... trouble. [i]Phew.[/i]"

Ahead of the three Trainers lay two more branching paths. One led across a small brook, and the other through a thick grove of trees.
