Indigo let out a low whistle. [color=8882be]"Wow, can't believe we didn't notice them until now. They blend in so well."[/color] It was true, the Patrat had slender, brown bodies that blended in with the ground and trees and general forest vicinity. They were hiding in tree knots, in tangled branches, in thick shrubs, everywhere. [color=8882be]"Once you know what to look for though, it's almost obvious."[/color]

Hawka, on the other hand, felt quite indignant. She had not been bothering any pokemon! She had been trying to communicate that they were in this forest and meant no harm! Yet her human seemed to lack that understanding entirely. Irate, she practiced quick dodges and Scratch attacks up ahead against twigs and the occasional tree trunk. Indigo frowned. The little bird seemed riled up about something but he was totally beat as to what it was. Well maybe she just needed some time to cool off. 

[color=8882be]"I wonder if there's other pokemon around here,"[/color] Indigo said. Although truthfully, the idea of getting a new team member seemed daunting. He could just barely handle his Torchic, let alone another pokemon entirely. [color=8882be]"I mean, I thought forests would have pokemon like Bug types or maybe a flying type... right? You think these Patrat chased all the other pokemon out?"[/color]
