The fourth Shuppet blinked a little at the hand directed at it, before flying forth a bit to inspect it. ‘Shupp-et.’ Seems like Amelia was declared harmless, as it simply stayed in close and stared at her. Then, Amelia came with her next question, and at least the two in front of her got curious expressions.
‘Shuppet?’ The fourth one asked her.
‘Shupp-shupp?’ The third one flew down from above her head to look at the first one and Amelia with an amused little smile.
‘Shuppet!’ The first one announced, smiling at Amelia, but not seeming to make any opinion noted.
‘Shupp!’ … And that’s when Amelia might realize the Shuppet that flew behind her has now stolen one of her Pokéballs, holding it while looking proud of itself. Didn’t seem like it intended anything malicious with it, but nonetheless, he held it.
‘Shuppet!’ The first one blinked a little surprised at the thief, before suddenly flying in at speed. Shuppet used Knock Off!
‘SHUPP!’ A startled thief-Shuppet got startled by the attacking Shuppet, the move doing as it should and the Pokéball flew up into the air.
‘Shuppet~!’ And suddenly the third Shuppet, who had been above Amelia flew up and caught the Pokéball in mid-air, looking really pleased.
‘Shuuuuuupp…!’ The second one didn’t look too pleased about the stolen Pokéball being taken by another, and suddenly flew up at the third one. Shuppet #2 used Knock Off!
‘Shuuuuup~!’ The third one played it dramatically, making an exaggerated sound of despair as the Pokéball flew out of the ghost. It then sailed through the air, over Amelia, before the fourth Shuppet drifted up with a blank expression and caught it.
‘Shupp-et.’ Sounding like “there we go”, it caught the Pokéball, and held it for a bit. … ‘Shuppet?’
The other three were staring at it with intentful stares and smiles, looking quite taken with their little game of Knock Off to get the Pokéball, and the fourth Shuppet suddenly recoiled realizing all three of them were now after it.
‘S-SHUPP!’ Letting out a sound of panic, it shot away and curved, the other three Shuppets on its tail as it flew, somehow holding onto the Pokéball, now flying in circles around Amelia at high speed to avoid the other three.
… As far as could be told, it didn’t appear like any of the Shuppets were necessarily hostile to the idea, but they might have gotten a little too absorbed in their sudden game of Knock-Off-The-Pokéball. Amelia was free to act as she wanted, if she wanted to make peace between them, make a choice or whatever she intended.

Lucian took the time to train Houndour at the wet fields of the flowery Route 2. While there were a few water/other type combinations, such as Surskit and Lotad, none of them were actually high enough level to know any Water-type moves, meaning they were relatively low threat to Houndour.
While training, Lucian inevitably came across the very common Route 2 Pokémon Lotad, so if he wanted to engage one to catch he could. Otherwise, he could just use their leaves to fuel the experience of Houndour’s training.
Pokédex Entry #270 – Lotad, the Water Weed Pokémon. They live in clean ponds and lakes, where they float with their large leaves above the surface, and they serve as ferries to smaller Pokémon. They rise climb ashore only in search of cleaner water. If it’s dehydrated, the leaf will wilt.
With the Pokémon around being either partly water-types (Surskit and Lotad), very small (Weedle) or fairly fast (Pidgeys), this was quite the target-practice for Houndour where he needed to aim at specific places to hit the targets for full damage.
So, should he otherwise feel done with the training, it was time to make the choice again.
Connected areas:
Pureplain City. Close, can easily get there without complication.
Infested Woods. Relatively close, can get there without complication.
Wet Caverns. Requires crossing the remainder of Route 2.

‘Duck…!’ The Ducklett made a noise as it did just exactly what it said when Wooper shot out its Water Gun. It ducked under the shot, the movement enough to allow Dawkin to move on past it. Behind him, some bit away, the girl and the man peered after him and saw enough of what was going on. The girl shouted down the corridor.
‘THAT’S A WATER-GROUND TYPE! WATER WILL STILL DO DAMAGE TO IT! WATER-GUN!’ And so, as commanded, Ducklett flapped briefly with his wings to drift on the water to get into a better position,and then launched a stream of water at Wooper. … And, yes. Of course, she likely didn’t know Wooper’s ability.
Dawkin managed to strive ahead, and… the road split in two. On the right, the water eventually ended onto dry cave-floor before the corridor continued straight for quite a bit. On the left, the water continued and the corridor curved steadily left, meaning Dawkin couldn’t see far in, but if he strained his ears he could hear something that sounded like splashing in that direction. Someone, or something, walking in the water, not too far away?

Jacques did not show any specific reaction to that he might not have been greatly appreciated by either Shyn nor Ren. He held his question as it was, with Kalmia blinking on the side. Then, came the answer. To begin with, Jacques simply smiled, looking like he had won some form of victory. Kalmia looked confused, but as Jacques wasn’t immediately answering, she did.
‘Ah, um.’ With hesitation at first, that is. ‘There is a great deal of difference between “rare” and “legendary”. But, if we assume you’re talking about the latter, there isn’t much we can tell of their current condition. The libraries of Worldedge City should be able to tell of the glimpses or stories that we’ve seen, but otherwise I’m afraid-’
‘Sunken City.’ Jacques interrupted her, making her flinch. ‘Known Ruins, the Old Tombs, Sunrise Tower, Highhill Rocks. All those are places you may wish to examine. If you wish to read the texts you’ll find, you might want to hear with Professor Dunstan of Worldedge City, though he is often also found in the Research Lab of Raremine Town. He’s been conducting research you may be interested in. As Kalmia said, the libraries of Worldedge or the Research Lab at Raremine might hold something of interest to you. And if you want something a little bit… extra…’ Jacques smile grew wider.
‘You may want to ask the same question you just asked me to the Gym Leader of Fairsea Outpost. He’s found something in his examination of the Sunken City that might interest you.’ And telling what exactly that is was apparently way too sensible. ‘Any reason you’re asking? Is there any particular Pokémon which interests you? Or, is it just the legendary in general?’ Jacques asked, looking intently at Ren.

‘There are probably more rare Pokémon in True Infested Forest than in the Deep Woods. Tons of Pokémon are scared away by the light in the Outer Woods and by the Pokémon of the Deep Woods, ending up a huge soup of all imaginable kinds of bug-Pokémon in the middle. If it’s just for the Pokémon, then here should be far enough. That said, there ARE Pokémon that only inhabit the Deep Woods…’ Laurinda provided some information, however, about the nature of the woods themselves and as to how Pokémon live.
‘It’s not all bugs in there, though…’ Laurinda muttered a bit for herself, then she blinked and came to a full stop.
‘Delphox.’ She commanded, and the fox came to a stop a few moments later, giving a tired stare back.
‘This may be the shortest route, but I’m not THAT eager to blow up. We’re going around this part of the woods.’ She declared, and started moving around to the right, avoiding a specific gathering of trees. Delphox sighed, as if she had really wanted to lead them through there, but obeys and follows her trainer. Looking up at the trees, Claire would be able to see numerous Pokémon attached to the trees…
… Those Pinecos are ALL eating. There is no shortage of bugs in here.
‘We’re almost to the Deep Woods now.’ Laurinda told, walking ahead of Delphox now, having been able to tell the direction.

Seeing how Flame was standing by and awaiting the birds to get closer, Audrey decided on her strategy.
‘Alright! Both at the same time! Tackle!’ Audrey commanded, and both birds flew in to tackle the fox. Flame dodged one of them, but the other was a bit too much to keep track of, and the Tackle connected. However, at this range Flame was able to get an Ember in on the one who missed, the Pidgey hit with fire during the fly-in panicking and going to land to tend the burn, when then Rosa came in with a Tackle. It spun from the impact before collapsing. Pidgey fainted. Only one Pidgey left.
‘I-I’m not done!’ Audrey suddenly said, and threw her one remaining Pokéball, throwing in a last Pidgey to reinforce the line. Now, technically she was using more Pokémon than she had been allowed to by the rules, but it was up to Donna if she felt to call her out on it or if she was just going to handle what Audrey was throwing at her. ‘Again! Both of you, Tackle the fox! Enough hits and you should be able to take it down…!’
No change in tactics. What would Donna do?

‘Oh, geesh! Strong defenses, AND ways to make them harder!’ Lena complained a little, grinning a little at the battlefield where Skitty and Nincada were collectively making taking out each other’s efforts. So, Lena looked at Martin, analyzing him a bit, before smiling again.
‘I don’t think Skitty can win a straight-on fight, so, let’s gamble. Skitty, let’s go the bard-route! Sing!’ Lena announced, and Skitty was more than prepared to stand steadily in place and break out into song. The sound of the fairly pretty song was directed in Nincada’s direction, and upon hearing it he’d soon start to feel drowsy. If it would be enough to make him fall asleep was a different matter, and Martin definitely had the time to take action before the possibility.

Houndour collectively grew to Level 7!
Houndour has trained his accuracy! His Embers will be more accurate, now!
So, should he otherwise feel done with the training, it was time to make the choice again.

… Those Pinecos are ALL eating. There is no shortage of bugs in here.
