NATIONAL FOREST

_{[It is a dark and stormy night. Or at least rainy. Pachirisu and Metapod alike hide deep in their nests as the branches shake in the wind and rain. The path is little more than mud as it's been raining for days on end. Rain, rain, rain! The Pokemon are apathetic about coming out of their burrows to forage but there is one creature that the weather hasn't stopped...]}

ROUTE 34

_{[It's a nice enough evening. The Jigglypuff are settling in for the night and the sun is heavy and orange as it sinks behind the trees. The shoreline is peaceful and Buizel play in the gentle surf. Twigs snap and the tall grass rustles--but it's just the sound of scurrying Pokemon....isn't it?]}

Comments

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[Jack watches the little water-type. He's got plenty of experience frightening humans but Pokemon are brand new territory.]

[He glances behind him and nods to Fester, one of his Gastly. The ghost grins and soars overhead to the other side of the path where he starts making noises of his own--a low ghostly chuckling.]

[Misdirection hopefully works on both people and their pokemon!]</sub>

[konpeitoqueen]

[Wow, the Vaporeon definitely hears that. He barks at the sound first, before Saionji catches notice of it.]

Hey, who's there?! If you're a Pokémon, shoo! Your cackling is ruining the atmosphere. [...As if the atmosphere isn't gloomy enough from the rain.]

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[Sainoji, you can't tell Fester who to be.]

[The little Gastly keeps on chuckling and drifting through the bushes. While they are looking away, a Smoke Screen from Jack's Stunky rolls in, covering the path in a sudden eerie fog.]</sub>

[konpeitoqueen]

[SHE TOTALLY CAN, WHAT DO YOU MEAN

In any case, she's eying the fog suspiciously, because while she's used to the Pokémon move, this seems far too well-formulated.] And if you're a human, don't you think you can surprise me!

...Are you even listening? Do you know how stressful it is to talk to someone who's far too rude to listen?! [If her hollering doesn't lure it out, then she'll make do with trying to drive it away. Shoo, shoo!]

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[Jack has a hard time not chuckling at her frustration but manages to keep a lid on it.

Until the scream. It's a loud, shrill, lonely sound that neither man nor 'mon has any business being able to make.]</sub>

[konpeitoqueen]

[?!?!?!?!?!?

That's the best way to sum out her thoughts right now, because she hasn't exactly heard loud incoherent screaming before while out in the wild. Some Pokémon cries and human yelling, sure, but not... this.]

Naoryuu! Use Ice Beam in that direction! [She points to the sound of the scream, because while it could be someone needing help, that screech was not exactly human-like. And she's not taking any chances- best to try freezing or scaring off whatever the hell that was, before turning around and bolting herself. Her Vaporeon obeys, opening its mouth to send an Ice Beam.]

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[And that is Tallfellow's cue to take his leave least he wind up turned into a popsicle before his legend even begins. He springs away from his branch into the bows of a nearby oak while Fester continues gibbering on the other side of the path.]

[Should The trainer and her team brave the area the scream came from, they will find a couple of black feathers and a very long vertical gouge in the trunk of one of the trees.]</sub>
