If it was everyone’s intention to leave, they’d have to figure out a way to bypass the pond sitting at the bottom of the hill. Nathan’s attempt to find a low branch would unfortunately be fruitless; the lowest branch was at least seven feet off the ground and nowhere near the cave entrance, being located across the pond. There were some shrubs and bushes but those too were behind the water. Vi’s attempt to illicit surprise from Celina gave her a warm and sweet feeling, like eating a sweet melty chocolate. As for Celina herself, she’s find that the rain didn’t stick to her wings like yesterday, though the wind was occasionally pushing her around. Sure enough if the winds picked up she still wouldn’t be strong enough to resist it.

Celina scouting wouldn’t provide much insight as the wind got much stronger the higher up she went. Even as she tried to fly around there was t anything immediately useful until she would spot a fallen tree. Seemed like yesterday’s lightning struck this tree and toppled it over. The bulk of the truck was big enough to easily bridge the lake gap, but surely would weigh a hundred times more than the swablu. Alternatively there were smaller and more manageable branches and sticks scattered around, but how strong they’d be is suspect. Some of the branches might be able to hold up some of the lighter Pokémon, but the constant rain would make the sticks very soft.

A thunderclap echoed out as the rain picked up again. Won’t be long before the storm awakens once more to bring trouble and strife. But before the storm would come, the cave Pokémon and especially Celina would see Something approach them from the skies. It was hard to see through the rain but as it got closer they would soon find a large flying pelican being attacked by a swarm of crows. It was barely out speeding the flock, however the injuries on its wings and body was notably slowing it down. Not to mention they seemed to be flying very low to the ground. The Pokémon wouldn’t notice the crew in the cave nor Celina, but they were close enough to perhaps serve as a distraction. Or just hide and avoid the trouble. Suddenly one of the crowd got in front of the pelican and blew a huge cloud of haze, slowing the pelican down enough for the rest of the swarm to overtake the big bird.
