[@Pirouette] (Do continue the battle any way you can, when you can. In the meantime, Claire’s going to be at two places at once while we’re unsure of your status. Any levels, Pokémon or items she gets after your battle won’t suddenly appear to help her in the battle, heh.)

[@Rune_Alchemist]

After the battle, we assume for now, Claire went and got her Pokémon healed. Then, she had to consider what to do…

[hider=Suggestions to actions, Stillwood Village]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Can still search for Pokémon in cities~[/i]
2. Talk. [i]In cities, there are considerably more people one can talk to. Talking can give you info on local rumors and such.[/i]

… and one way or another she ended up heading towards the ancient woods, according to what has been discussed. As such, she headed towards where Stillwood Village ended, but Stillwood Forest continued…

[hider=Now arriving to][center][h2]Ancient Stillwoods[/h2]

Perhaps once upon a time people had a settlement here. Regardless, it was a long time ago and now nature had reclaimed this place many times over. A pathway can be taken past ancient rocks, but here stands even more ancient trees. Alike in Stillwood Village, the trees cover up the overhead so little light comes through, but there is enough light to see. The place is thich with trees, ruins, moss and rocks. Navigating can be a challenge, but fortunately the forest here is not particularly deep. However, the inexperienced would be advised against trying to engage any of the Pokémon around here… and to perhaps bring a gas-mask, because the air is so thick with pollen that some people might have trouble breathing.[/hider]

Claire walks into the thick forest, every step of the way the air becoming thicker with spores. If she was even the slightest allergic, she’d be finding that out now. There were old ruins in the way, old rocks placed in arcs and revealing the sites of old buildings, but aside from that there were big, beautiful flowers spread across the forest floor. Hopefully Claire would realize to scan them before she did anything stupid, and hopefully Ralia would warn ahead of time that these were flowers with emotions lying in wait, otherwise.

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #45 – Vileplume, the Flower Pokémon. It is said to have the world’s largest petals, they’re heavy with toxins and spores and difficult to hold up. As it walks, the petals flap and scatters extremely allergenic and toxic pollen. It lures prey in with its pretty petals and douses it in toxic spores, then simply waits for them to be immobilized before moving in and devouring them.[/i][/color][/center]


Other than that, there were larger green Pokémon with bouquets in their hands walking around like they owned the place, glancing occasionally towards Claire, or blue Pokémon drifting in the air hitting into tree after tree, as well as Brelooms that were either practicing or just hanging about. These were all the evolved versions of the Pokémon usually seen in Stillwood Village, and they saw no reason to hide here.

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #407 – Roserade, the Bouquet Pokémon. It lures prey in with sweet aroma from its flowers, and then downs them with thorny whips hidden in its arms. In battle, it presents itself as if dancing, all while striking with whips lines with deadly toxins. It can also spew poison. The sweeter its toxin smells, the more potent it is.[/i][/color][/center]

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #189 – Jumpluff, the Cottonweed Pokémon. It deftly controls its cotton-puff spores to float. Caught by seasonal winds, it lets itself be carried across the globe and spread their spores. Even in the fiercest of winds, it can control its fluff to make its way in any direction it wants, somehow. When it encounters cold air, it lands.[/i][/color][/center]

… These Jumpluffs had gotten themselves stuck in the trees, though.

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #286 – Breloom, the Mushroom Pokémon. It lives in warm and humid climates feeding on trees and plants in fields or forests. It’s a powerful fighter, with light footwork and punches that stretch, it’s said to put pro boxers to shame. The seeds on its tail are poisonous and should not be eaten. It spreads poisonous spores from its head as it fights, taking advantage of the dazed opponent.[/i][/color][/center]

… As Claire could probably tell, these creatures were a bit too powerful for her to take on in her current state. Fortunately for her, they weren’t immediately hostile to humans, though the amount of times variations of the words “poison” and “toxic” were mentioned in the entries of those four Pokémon should give an indication of that staying in the area too long might not be overall healthy for just about anyone. There were reasons why Claire couldn’t see any other humans in here.

Regardless, there might be rare Pokémon hiding out in here, or perhaps she’s more interested in what she could find in the end of here? Regardless, she had some options. All with the assumption she'd be being careful with the local grass-type wildlife, of course.

[hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Search the area. [i]Maybe find a Pokémon that isn’t immediately obvious, look for items or inspect the ruins for interesting things?[/i]
2. Train Pokémon. [i]Just be aware that most things here can probably eat you alive.[/i]
3. Specify. [i]If you specify what you want to do, the GM will take it into account and tell the result.[/i]
4. Trigger random event. [i]Force the GM to use his imagination to make a scenario for you.[/i]
5. Area Specific: Go Deeper. [i]This ancient forest isn’t particularly deep. You could get to the end in moments if you ignore everything else. Question is, what’s there?[/i][/hider]
