[@Zarkun] [b]"Very well then. Let us depart."[/b] The bug-maniac lead the duo away from the group of his compatriots. They went down another path and the further they went, not only darker did it become, the more of a mist cloaked the surroundings. What's more was that it was obvious that they were walking up a steep incline, the terrain itself was becoming rocky with sharp cliffs and running waterfalls crashing down to rivers below.

The mist that permeated the area cutdown the visibility within the woods and somehow, the canopy above was thicker than before, making it darker. This was a tad big dangerous as there were some drops that if someone were not paying attention, they would find themselves with some very broken limbs or fall in a river down below. That is if they don't fall in some webs and find themselves on the wrong end of a hungry bug-type. Actually, people just needed to be careful of these webs in general as they were littered all over the place. Due to the lack of people travelling and lack of people volunteering to enter, the path that led to the Deep Woods was essentially now just a dirt, rocky path covered with moss. Yes, this place was not exactly a place that experienced a lot of foot-traffic in general, but that meant that there were possibly encounters that people had limited experience about or never had seen before. From what can be seen, the Pokemon responsible for all of the webs in the area were these green spiders with markings meant to scare predators away from them.

With threads from its mouth, it fashions sturdy webs that won't break even if you set a rock on them. Although the poison from its fangs isn't that strong, it's potent enough to weaken prey that gets caught in its web. [/center][/i][/color] There were also these horned caterpillar things with big, pink, round noses and every now and again, sentient yellow cocoons could be seen hanging above from strings of white.

It is capable of distinguishing its favorite kinds of leaves from those it dislikes just by sniffing with its big red proboscis (nose).

Kakuna remains virtually immobile as it clings to a tree. However, on the inside, it is extremely busy as it prepares for its coming evolution. This is evident from how hot the shell becomes to the touch. [/center][/i][/color] However, the main reason as to why many people avoided took the form of very angry bees with drills for arms. You know what they are. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/LlkNNM9.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #015 – Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokémon. Beedrill is extremely territorial. No one should ever approach its nest—this is for their own safety. If angered, they will attack in a furious swarm.

The pen that he entered was the one that contained the Wooloo and Mareep. Now, understandably, these pens were quite big to give these Pokemon to roam comfortably. In fact, they were less pens and more very segregated pastures, no doubt to keep his different cattle from mixing with cattle the neighboring farms. It would not be an easy feat to walk cover the entire area by himself on foot on his own as they covered quite a few acres. He would also note that there was barbed wiring around the fencing itself with the obvious intention of keeping thieves out. What he would also note were the livestock cameras set around the perimeter. For such a large space, things like this were necessary to keep an eye on the cattle and any suspicious individuals. It would be safe to assume that there were also security cameras in the barn as well. What was strange however, was that there seemed to be a piece of torn denim dangling listless from the barbed wire. Upon inspection, carefully removing the denim from the wire, he would notice that there was a dark red stain on it. Quite out of place. Tristan was just a rich boy that had no understanding the inner workings of a farm, so he was a bit out of his depth, but that was something that could be easily fixed by talking to Neil, something that he should have done initially, or the workers on the farm, after finishing up whatever he wishes to do. Who knows, maybe he'd find something out about the piece of denim? What does Tristan wish to do? [hr] [@Lunarlord34] This bastard was actually laughing while he was running, pushing people aside to move his way through the streets. The idea that this girl would even catch him was so completely absurd to him since he was so confident in his ability to get away from just about anyone. He was as slippery to catch as he was greasy though uh, he actually wasn't getting away. Quite the opposite in fact. Arold glanced back behind him to check if he had lost her and to his own terror, she was not only keeping up with him, but she was also catching up to him at such breakneck speeds that his eyes looked like they would have bulged out of his skull and picked up the pace. Unluckily for him though luckily for Steph, the Pokeball somehow went through the gap between his legs and as soon as he stepped on it, it rolled and threw off his balance, which was aided by the fierce tackle causing him to eat concrete as his face slightly skidded on it. With a scuffed-up face, he lifted himself up on the ground to his butt and turned back to see the raging redhead had now caught up to him. With the fear of God instilled in him, he tried crawling back with one arm while the other was held up outward to her. [b]"W-wait! Let's talk about this!"[/b] Violence is never the answer. It's a question, and in this case, the answer was a resounding yes. The petty thief was somehow pinned down by this hell beast of a woman and was beaten mercilessly. It was actually a terrible sight to behold; the man's face was a swollen, bloody mess and the people watching could only watch in absolute shock and horror. Even Freya, who had finally just caught up with her, carrying the Sneasel in toe, froze in place. [color=ed145b]"Oh my god."[/color], said Freya with that same shock and horror... then there was an aura of bone chilling rage radiating from behind her. A very familiar figure with a sloppy black ponytail and a lab coat walked from behind Freya along with a white-haired young man with piercings. [color=ed145b]"Wait, what are you two-?!"[/color] Kapoc grabbed Steph by her arm and yanked her off the now bloodied thief. Yup, he looked livid. [color=ed1c24]"What the hell is going on?!"[/color] Surpringingly, the man was somehow [i]still[/i] conscious and pointed at Steph accusingly with a shaky arm. Tears were running down his ballooned cheeks. [b]"T-this bitch assaulted me! I want her arrested!"[/b] Kapoc's companion shook his head and sighed. [color=a187be]"I'll call an ambulance."[/color]
