[@samreaper] With the Skiddo asleep, Tristan had a potential short space of time to get away with some free turns. Luckily, Tristan was able to make a free switch into the Ace the cowardly Torchic as his first action and for his second action the fire chic let out some sort of intimidating noise to lower the attack of the sleeping kid though by all logic that should've not done anything because it was asleep. Unless it somehow gave it bad dreams or something? Who knows. What was important though was that the Skiddo woke up to see a series of flickering sparks fly straight towards it. [color=00a651]"Skiddo, dodge and then use Rollout!"[/color] The Skiddo jumped out of the way of the embers and once again spin dashed straight towards Ace though unlike before, it was much weaker since the Torchic's Growl did somehow lower the grass goat's attack and it had not used Defense Curl like before. What does Tristan do? [hr] [@Zarkun] Well, existential dread aside Jason was left with quite a lot to think about though no matter how many questions he had there were not going to be any clear answers. All he could do was walk through the misty, dark woods with Helga as the lead. She was quiet, not saying a single word the entirety of their trek through the woods. The giant of a woman merely glanced back to check if he was still following her or not. Eventually, they would arrive at the marshy clearing surrounded by floating gourds. [hider=You arrive at...] [center][h1]Helga's Cabin[/h1] [img]https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/30314805-0284-4dac-99bc-19935cbc4642/d7ovikf-714e5daa-7c67-45ec-a940-758d3d47300b.jpg/v1/fill/w_1023,h_596,q_75,strp/cabin_in_the_woods_by_raphtor_d7ovikf-fullview.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NTk2IiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvMzAzMTQ4MDUtMDI4NC00ZGFjLTk5YmMtMTk5MzVjYmM0NjQyXC9kN292aWtmLTcxNGU1ZGFhLTdjNjctNDVlYy1hOTQwLTc1OGQzZDQ3MzAwYi5qcGciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9MTAyMyJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.nz_UHKBjOH9c0mb4PHG0-zmv7Zu64f6Lx_grkJySV6U[/img] [/center] To find this cabin this deep in the woods meant someone really went out of their way to find this place. Anyone could tell that if a person lived all the way out there, then they were someone that wanted to be well enough alone. It was a dark, damp place; the only source of light was coming from the cabin itself. At first glance it would appear that way, but there were more orbs of light floating around and with no close inspection needed they were all Pumpkaboo of great proportions though apart from that they seemed to be the only Pokemon to be around. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/PTgIu7S.png[/img] [i][color=6ecff6]Pokedex Entry #710-Pumpkaboo, the Pumpkin Pokemon. Supersized Pumpkaboo are very partial to the spirits of people who were of similarly superior proportions. Pumpkaboo of this size are said to be the product of areas where a great number of lost souls lingered. [/color][/i] [/center] The cabin itself was well maintained on the outside though one could hardly imagine anyone living somewhere like this. It was completely isolated from the rest of the world, true isolation. There were no people, no civilization, nothing. In most cases, most people run away from finding a lone cabin in the woods in fear of being chopped up into tiny pieces or find someone in a hockey mask rise from the water. Is whatever that needs to be done worth it? Helga would grip the beaten wrought iron of a doorhandle and yanked the door open. They were back in her slapdash, but homely abode. [color=C7B56F]"I'll treat your Pokemon. Do whatever you need to do to rest up."[/color] If Jason did let out his Pokemon, she would indeed take care of his Pokemon. So, Jason could rest on the badly sewn cushions on the roughly carved chairs and sofas or whatever. His Pokedex did vibrate and if he looked at its screen, he would see that Professor Kapoc called him... five times. He could listen to the messages and call him back or the funnier option would've just been to ignore him. Surely there would be no consequences, right? What does Jason do?

[color=fff200]"Mom and dad made me deliver some milk to Voltorb Acres when they told me that someone was helping them with their truck troubles. A girl with purple hair and an Eevee. I was able to two and two together pretty quickly and went to help you out after they pointed where you went. Like, how were you planning on getting a truck engine back on your own?"[/color] She looked at her questioning what was going through Faye's mind when she agreed to get the engine back, but that was probably giving her way too much credit because who are we kidding? Faye probably went in winging it though Rosa wouldn't know. Anyway! Rosa found an old pile of lumber to sit on and heaved a sigh. [color=fff200]"As for the trainer thing, well, a week. Sort of. You know how parents act like they are suggesting something, but they really aren't to do something because they think it'll be good for you? It's like that."[/color] To say that she sounded less than enthused about it would have been understatement. Everything about her screamed 'I hate my situation' if what she said earlier had not already given it away. [color=fff200]"When the league opened up, my parents kept nagging at me to sign up because they think it will 'broaden my horizons' and 'let me see the world.' Believe me, as much as I can rough it out on a ranch, I'm more of a homebody, but I signed up just to get them to stop nagging me about it. I didn't actually expect to be accepted."[/color] An exasperated breath of air pushed through teeth as she leaned back on the pile of logs. [color=fff200]"If you're gonna ask why now, you can blame Tristan. After everything that happened on the farm, they decided it was time for me to get going. They said I should be more like him, gross."[/color] She shuddered with disgust.
