...How did I never know of this miraculous godsend before?
@Noklu Oh my. That was actually a pretty good solution o.o Three cheers for the minion!
It'd be cool to say I thought of that from the beginning, but it kinda popped into my head last minute... Also, I loves me some cheers! :D
<Snipped quote by Noklu>
Yes, yes you do. See how much we love you?
And it's no problem~! Congratulations on qualifying for Envirothon~!!!
Now get to work. *cracks whip*
Heh, thanks! Your will has been done
<Snipped quote by Noklu>
Envirothon?
I...I don't even...
I'm scared and confused. I think I might go litter a little.
Ogo, don't you dare... I am in touch with, as you'd say, certain 'people' who know a thing or two about the 'circle of life'... Would you care to know more about joining it?
Edit: G'night Bunny!
~Ryley Grisdoe~
A wise man once said that the eyes are the window to one’s soul. Ryley understood this as he looked into Melody’s eyes. The look she gave him was… interesting. At first, Ryley thought she was very grateful that he had come to help. But there was something else there, something he didn’t recognize fully. It was a bit unnerving. He’d have to be careful around it.
“T-thanks. For… for coming after me. I didn’t think anyone would.”
Well, hey. They were a group. They needed to stick together to survive. He was sure others were on their way to help. Well… maybe not Abigai-
Melody interrupted Ryley’s thoughts halfway through as she pulled him down to the ground. Dang this girl has some HM04! Why did she...
“Sorry.”
After his initial reaction, Ryley understood why she had done that. He must still have been in view of the lumbering Onix.
“It’s ok. My bad”.
Whispering apologies aside, they needed to act now. The Onix would find them eventually, and the earlier they tricked it, the better. However, Melody had an idea of her own.
“Let’s play dead. I don’t know if we’ll be able to lead it to the Spinarak nest in time. But… Onixes don’t eat meat, do they? I’m pretty sure they only eat rocks. So it was probably chasing us because it was angry, not because it actually wants to eat us. If it thinks we’re dead, it’ll leave us alone... uh, hopefully.”
Play dead? That would leave them open to attack, but it was the quickest, and possibly the easiest way to get out of this situation. Provided it worked, of course. Ryley didn’t like leaving himself open to the possibility of instant death.
Then again, Melody seemed to be proud of her idea, and probably wouldn’t want to abandon it after having thought it up. And with the Onix right next to them, arguing about something like that would be a death sentence for sure. So plan B it is.
“Okay, let’s do that. Be careful though, no playing ‘hero’ if this goes wrong”.
Ryley sent out Fern next to him after talking to Melody. He motioned for Fern to be quiet, then whispered to her next.
“Stay in this bush. Don’t move unless I tell you to.”
Fern nodded in response and hunched down in the foliage. With preparations out of the way, it was time to do something incredibly stupid so they wouldn’t die.
When the Onix was looking away, Ryley crawled out from the bush, and lay down on the ground, still as a metapod. He held his breath and closed his eyes when the Onix’s gaze turned over towards him. This had better work. Dying wasn’t an experience Ryley wished to have.
As the seconds ticked by, Ryley began to feel hopeful. Was this working? Was it actually working? If this actually saved them...
“NO! Give them back! GIVE THEM BACK!”
...Damn it. Of firetrucking course Avery was there. Of freaking course. Why couldn’t it have been Blake, or Alex, or hell, even Abigail? Anyone besides freaking Avery. The timing of it couldn’t have been worse either. Oh life, why did you have to be so cruel.
Ryley kept his eyes closed, not wanting to see the mess the situation had become. Well, more honestly, he didn’t want to alert the Onix of their ‘aliveness’, but that’s beside the point. Though after a while, Ryley couldn’t help but be curious of what was going on. The noises of battle were pointless without sight. Curiosity having consumed him, Ryley peeked a quick glance with his left eye of the scene. What he witnessed was the Onix eating a rock presumably thrown by Avery. Oh Avery…
Well, at this rate, Avery was certainly going to die. Ryley needed to do something, but what could he do? Silence now dominated the area, nothing moving. Once the Onix made his next move, someone would get hurt. Fern still lay in hiding, but she couldn’t do much to help out in the long run. Maybe he should just return her to her pokeball now…
...Wait, that’s it! Ryley seized the idea, as well as one of his pokeballs, and threw it at the unaware Onix. Once it connected, the Onix disappeared into the ball, hopefully not realizing what had happened. There! Now that a couple of seconds were bought, Ryley picked his head off the ground and called out to Avery.
“We’re not dead! Quick, hide or play dead, or something!”
Ryley quickly receded to playing dead right away. The Onix would break out for certain, and Ryley did not want it to know who had thrown the ball.

Well, I certainly have a fun post to make in my future!
Sorry for being inactive... I've had a busy few days, what with tests, sports, and competitions. Though I am feeling good, since my Envirothon team qualified for the State Tournament.

MY FINALS ARE DOOOOOOOOONNNNNNE!~
...feels like forever since I've been here.
Man, how are you guys doing? Sorry for being...nonexistent lately xD
Guess who's back. Back again. Rune is back. Once again. :P
Glad to hear your torture is finally over!
My brain's overheating now. Was able to finish my post before it clonked out luckily. Welp, I'm going to take some aspirin and clock out for the night.

Well, the Growl attack did slow the Onix down, but not when it decided to use it’s brain. Ryley couldn’t help but groan. Of course it knew Rock Polish. Of course. And just to add to this wonderful mess, a torrent of rocks pelted down ahead of them. That certainly didn’t help their escape. Hell, Abigail nearly got crushed by one! ...He recalled Fern just in case. Running was still the best option, but it was getting bleaker by the second.
They needed to slow down the Onix even more. There were trees around them. Bringing one down in front of, or even on the rock snake would slow it quite a bit. The problem was finding a way to bring a tree crashing down.
As Ryley was entertaining ways to fell a tree, Melody decided to act.
“Run, Abigail! It’s too fast, we have to split up!"
...No no no. Splitting up would be the worst thing to do now. They needed to find a way to slow it down with a variety of-
“I’ll try and lead it in a different direction. You guys get away, I’ll be fine!”
No no no no no no no. No no no. No. What the hell Melody. Seriously, what the hell. You don’t just do that. You don’t just lead a gigantic rock snake away all by yourself. She had gotten into a dangerous situation earlier with the Spinarak, but that was different as they didn’t know how dangerous it was. This time, they all knew the danger (Well, maybe not Avery…), and Melody was still…
By the time Ryley’s thoughts cooled down, Melody had managed to distract the Onix, and was leading it away from everyone else. She was fast, he had to give her credit, but a speed boosted Onix wasn’t anything to wag a finger at. ...And here he was, just standing like an idiot. Well, time to act. Deja vu could really suck sometimes.
“I’m going to hate myself for this…” Muttering contemptuously helped calm him down as he made his next move, calling out to the group. “I’m going after her. She's going to get herself killed”.
Without waiting for a response, Ryley turned around and chased after Melody. He couldn’t see either Melody or the Onix in sight, but the trail of destruction certainly helped. It took a while to catch up, but when he did, his blood ran cold. The Onix was there, but it had stopped. Frightening on its own, but the scary part was Melody was nowhere to be seen.
Ryley’s thoughts turned towards various scenarios that could have played out, none of them pleasant. Almost all of them ending with Melody being dead. At least, they all did until Ryley noticed a flash of pink in a bush by the trail. That was a big relief. She wouldn’t be able to hide long at that spot, but at least she was alive.
Now the burden of action lay upon Ryley. What would be the best course of action in this case? He needed to get in contact with Melody, make sure she was okay, but the Onix was currently looking around, probably for Melody, which inhibited his actions. First he needed to distract the snake somehow. The rest could come later.
Ryley picked up two decently sized rocks laying in the Onix’s wake and threw them in quick succession in the opposite direction of Melody’s location. As he waited for them to land, he noted the direction he threw them in was towards the Spinarak nest. Maybe, just maybe, he could use that to his advantage.
In any case, as soon as the rocks landed, the Onix turned towards the new sounds created. Best case scenario, the Onix would follow the sounds presuming that’s where Melody fled. As for almost every other scenario, more work was to be done. Ryley used his created opportunity to rush over to Melody’s hiding spot, sliding behind the bush, hopefully out of view. He had to make this brief.
“Sorry for barging into your party, but we need to lead it to the Spinarak nest”.
Ryley couldn’t look to see what the Onix was doing, but he hoped it was blindly following the sounds of the rocks. That would save them from the possibility of death. Y’know, nothing big or anything.
