Sarah stepped back after hearing Regans warning. She felt relieved that Abra and Regan were fine and the ranger was right that she shouldn't fall in. Regan had said they were fine so the reason Abra hadn't come back must have been that he fell asleep again. The pokemon slept 18 hours a day if he could afterall.  

Sarah thought and she brought her hand to Weedle's pokeball. "Saur, wrap your vines around me and lower yourself in the sinkhole.  Weedle, sit on Saur's back, keep the flashlight in place, and help to look for them." 
The pokemon nodded and did as Sarah said. Sarah put the flashlight on Saur's back and Weedle shot a little bit of string shot to keep the flashlight in place. Sarah switched it on and Saur lowered himself. They could just see the tunnel and the way Regan was going. [i]"We'll see you on the surface."[/i] Saur said in his pokemon speech, which he knew humans couldn't understand but at least Regan knew that they knew which way they went. 

When Sarah's pokemon resurfaced Saur pointed with his vine in the direction Regan walked off too. Sarah squinted her eyes a bit and thought she could see a small line on the ground that was going in the direction Saur pointed out. It could be the underground path Regan was following, the surface did seem to have an irregularity parallel to the tunnel. 
Sarah nodded, "very well, then that way we go." They would have to leave a signal for Rapier though, she didn't know how to find the Staraptor otherwise. 
"Rapier!" she shouted, hoping Rapier would hear her. 
"Weedle, fire sting shot on the ground, make an arrow in the direction we are going. Keep shooting little blobs of string shot as a trail to follow as we move on if Rapier hasn't found us yet. Gira walk ahead but come back often to see we are still following you." Gira nodded and walked ahead of them. Sarah picked up her Weedle so he was higher so he could make an arrow out of string shot better. "I think we need to get you to become a Beedrill as soon as able," she said. Weedle stopped for a second and nodded. It was his biggest wish to be a strong Beedrill and be able to fly above the trees. He would train until he dropped. Weedle finished his arrow. "Looks great." Sarah praised her pokemon. 

Abra was sound asleep, he was still aware of his surroundings and noticed Gira above them on the surface.

Gabe was glad there was someone on the path and he was even happier the guy seemed friendly and willing to talk and have company. The more the merrier in his opinion. The Absol looked cool. 

Gabe shook the hand. "I'm Gabe. It's great to meet you and Absol."  He gave a small wave back to Absol. Mareep came out of her pokeball to look at the trainer and pokemon that Gabe just met. "Oh and this is Mareep, worlds most curious pokemon." [i]Hiiiiiii."[/i] Mareep said jovially. "I am on my way to the rocky area as a matter of fact. I need some herbs there for dad's stew. On this island, they only grow there. I am born and raised on this island, I often played in the rocky area. Quite often had to be saved from there too. But I know my way around there better than around the forest. I keep getting lost in the forest." Gabe started walking again. "You made it quite far on your on already, very impressive for someone not knowing his way around." he complimented Bakuto. "What pokemon do you hope to find?" Gabe asked.
