[color=orange]‘Oh, and two more tiny things that slipped my mind,’[/color] the woman says. [color=orange]‘I did say the bigger birds don’t care about humans, buuut… Fletchinders do blaze down fire to scare out their prey. And that fire… sticks around a while. It doesn’t tend to spread, or these plains would have been a wasteland, but they form roadblocks. Careful of random fires out there!’[/color] 

[color=orange]‘And, Staraptors. They don’t care about YOU, but if any of your Pokémon looks strong enough to be a challenge, they might swoop in and attack it. This only tends to become a problem when you get strong enough to [i]fight[/i] your way through Route 6, but I should warn you nonetheless.’[/color] So she says. Then, in reaction to being denied.

[color=orange]‘Aw, well,’[/color] she grinned about it. [color=orange]‘If the plains turn out more than you can handle, we’ll be here! Good luck out there~!’[/color]

And with that, they were free to go.

While there were Ponytas young enough to need to chase after their parents, at some age parent and child separate and there’s plenty of Ponytas just roaming around, feeding off the grass of the plains, running around and just being wild Pokémon, no Rapidash in immediate vicinity. They formed small groups, as horses do, but some do get separated, possibly when they had to run from some Tauros or Pyroars. If Dawkin wants to, he can find one.

The immediate area is relatively safe, mostly because all the Tauros are being knocked out by that trainer’s Pokémon over there, but there ARE Bouffalants and Dodrios standing or running about here and there, watching their surroundings. Fletchlings are harder to see, because they’re smaller in the grass despite still having territories, but they’re rather pretty song is audible if you get close, which should be a sign of you’re probably close to being attacked by a bird.
