Sarah wanted to turn to start walking further to Lilan Town when she noticed her foot was stuck. She looked down and she furrowed her brow as she regonised the string shot. "Spinarak." she almost growled. "Saur, cut me loose." she ordered her Bulbasaur. Saur nodded and used vine whip to free his trainer. Sarah looked around as Saur freed her. A Spinarak attacking trainers seldom was alone. Soon enough Sarah spotted some small green spider pokemon in the trees around them and their beady black eyes were locked on them. There were lots of kind Spinarak but there were a few groups that were pests. When a few lowered themselves Sarah swallowed. "Lorie, watch out. There are Spinarak in the trees and they are not friendly." she said in a hushed tone. "Let's back away slowly." she said as as she did just that, hoping to get enough distance before they could haste away. One Spinarak shot another string shot, barely missing Sarah. Another shot towards Saur. Sarah took two pokeballs from her belt and let the pokemon out that were in it. "Abra, Gira, help us." Abra and Girafarig appeared and noticed the Spinarak right away. "Abra, use teleport to creatwe a diversion, taunt them, Gira use confusion." Abra nodded and hit a Spinarak before teleporting away when he was about to get hit, every time he re-appeared he teleported again when a string shot was fired. Gira used Confusion to stop other incoming string shot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gabe looked at the Umbreon. "My pokedex is virtually empty." Gabe said with a shrug. "I plan to travel the islands a bit and catch some pokemon and fill up my pokedex a bit more." looked at the sign. "The bus should be here in a couple of minutes. Seems like the spinarak are causing trouble around the cave. Annoying little pokemon. One time I was with a friend in the forest and they attacked us with string shot. We had trouble to get away from them." Gabe said shaking his head. It was starting to be a funny anekdote but it was still pretty fresh. "One of the dangers of traveling the forests. You are lucky on the plains there aren't that many spinarak." Gabe said with a grin. Mareep wanted to walk up to Umbreon but decided to walk to Gardevoir instead, not wanting to scare the pokemon off who was just making contact with Machop. [i]"Oohhh cheri berries are nice too. But its ok, she'll warm up to us. I'm sure Umbreon has a beautiful voice."[/i] Mareep said confidently. Machop smiled at Umbreon. [i]"It's ok, I aprreciate the gesture alone. They say actions speak louder then words afterall. All in good time"[/i] He listenend to Mareep and chuckled. [i]"Yeah she will make sure of that, Mareep is very likeable and she has a good infuence on pokemon to get to open up. I on the other hand have a more calming influence."[/i] [@Cio] [@JrVader]
