Our two young heroes continued to explore the forest even after the sun finished setting...

"Okay so you're kind of picky... Wonder what other Pokemon we can find for this dream team," Indy muttered sarcastically. He continued his search with Hawka, who was still harrumphing. What other Pokemon would they find?

The forest was alive with the sounds of Kricketot, but otherwise, it felt fairly desolate. Had all the other Pokemon went to sleep, one had to wonder.

Little did Indigo know, just up ahead of his path, a wild Burmy watched him from above. The little guy was known as "the ninja" among his fellow Burmy family, seeing as his favorite past time was stalking after trainers. But "Why did he stalk trainers, only to never confront them?" no one in his family knew...

Meanwhile...

Yes!Awesome! He thought.
"Nice going Twig! I better call dan, Here, Rest in my bag while I call him" Dan said.
He picked out his Pokedex again to call Indy about his success.

@TheForgottenArc

Indigo wasn't the only one to attract a follower. As Daniel made his call to Indigo, unbeknownst to him, a wild Dark (Alolan) Rattata hid in nearby brush. Unlike the Burmy following Indigo however, this Dark Rattata had one clear goal, FOOD. Sure he could scour the forest for food like the other Pokemon, but stealing from trainers was much funner. So he followed behind closely, waiting for the young trainer to make camp. Surely the trainer would have to eat something before going to sleep.

@TheForgottenArc@prettydrops: Both of you may add one level to your Pokemon (raising them to level 6).

And on that note, @TheForgottenArc, you need to include a list of Daniel's Pokemon in his character sheet; this includes the Burmy he just caught, which can start at level 3 because of how easy she was to catch with level 5 Turwig's help.

@TheForgottenArc@prettydrops: Also, there are a few more discoverable Pokemon in the forest. I'll let you know when you've found them all. Notice, I say "discoverable". This is because the Pokemon your characters can find is limited by their newbie status. In the future, stronger, more rare Pokemon will appear, making it worth it to revisit routes later.

I'll have my next IC post up in the morning. This is just a middle of the night ramble. Haha

Pokemon: Storm

Dan was about to give up and call Indy to meet up again before night, but some movement to his left side caught his attention.

What the heck was that? Some stupid rat probably.

@TheForgottenArc

It was a strange sight, a living pile of leaves. The clumsy Burmy had been watching Daniel approach her hiding spot. Moments after he passed, Burmy decided to cross over the path that Daniel had just walked. She would have made it to the other side unnoticed, but a rock tripped her.

Eyes locked with Daniel's, Burmy began to slowly (and awkwardly) sidestep her way to the nearest bush.

@prettydrops's last post pushed the timeline to sunset. So I let that reflect in the 1st IC post.

Pokemon: Storm

However there was little time to ponder for another rustling started. Indigo whirled around as another pokemon jumped out.

@prettydrops

A wild Rattata scurried out of the underbrush. Indigo's quick reaction time put the two face to face. Like a Deerling in headlights, the Rattata waited, ready to run away at any moment. The surrounding Kricketot, while hidden in the trees, watched intently, their music becoming softer with anticipation.

Pokemon: Storm

As the evening continued to settle, the beautiful sound of Kricketot began to fill the air. This sound served as a reminder to the invading Patrats, that these woods are NOT their territory. These woods belong to a happy but protective swarm of Kricketot.

All of a sudden there was a distinct sound of wings fluttering, but by the time either of the two young men could turn around, the source of the sound was long gone.

The forest was alive with life. Our two young trainers just needed more practice in the art of searching.

@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc

Hey you two. I made a minor mistake. Patrat weren't supposed to be the common Pokemon in the Breezy forest. It was supposed to be Kricketot. I'm not asking ya'll to change your posts at all, because that would be a hassle, but would you mind leaving the Patrats behind in favor of finding Kricketot in the area?

My bad. And thanks!

Pokemon: Storm

i know you said they made it to the road in your post, but i was hoping they could stay in the forest tbh. I figured they just kept walking, showing the patrat they didn't mean any harm.

@prettydrops

If you look at the picture you will see that the road is more of a "trail" in the woods. You're not out of the forest yet, your just not in among the bushes and brush. That's how I interpreted his post.

Pokemon: Storm

Just trying to stay consistent with posts and world building! little stuff like this can cause plotholes and confusion from my end if I'm not careful xD

@prettydrops

I had the professor using sign language because those Pokemon are still very young, similar to how babies can understand and communicate through simple sign language before they can speak.

Pokemon in this RP, all have a human level intelligence. Only, they're brains stop maturing at about teenager level inelligence (unless the Pokemon is known to be smart, such as most psychic types.)

So as far as understanding human speech, they can all learn, just some faster than others. Obviously they can't speak back though, as they don't have the right vocal cord set up. (Again, this doesn't include psychic types that can communicate through telepathy.)

In the end, I just ask that you use your best judgement.

Hope that helps. Thanks!

I've added some background music to the 1st IC post, for a little added flavor.
