Trees is good, I'm good with trees.

[AWAY INTO THE WOODS]

[m67]

[ this is so dumb. real dumb. for real. but either way— ]

I'm . . . I'll Be alright. [ asa looks closer and realizes— they've gotten something off them. good? well, good for her, bad for the person. ] It happens.

[desirestruth]

[Honestly if you had just showed her the zigzagoon she would have forfeited all mortal possessions to the little bastard anyway. But she does try to help her to her feet.]

Are you sure? I have some bandages in my....

[...]

Ah.

[desirestruth]

[The nice things about woods is they're an entirely different encounter table.]

...You weren't hurt, were you?

[Ma'am you were the one hand to nose with a very aggressive pokemon species?]

[selfidentitytheft]

Uh, no uh, yeah we’re fine. Big guy didn’t get near us.

[the zorua yips in agreement. both safe!]

Thanks for asking though.

[desirestruth]

I'm glad to hear that.

[Another treat for the Zorua! ANOTHER!]

[selfidentitytheft]

Thanks. Again, I guess.

[the Zorua gekkers delightedly. yes! more! SOMEONE only needed poffins to be caught in the Zone today]

Are you out here catching stuff? Or just like, seeing the sights?

[desirestruth]

I'm...a little new here, is all. And I enjoy seeing these little ones healthy and well-protected like this. It reminds me as home.

[How does Zorua feel about CHINSCRITCHES?]

[selfidentitytheft]

You're from the woods?

[Zorua LOVES chinscritches]

[desirestruth]

[THEN SCRITCHES IT SHALL HAVE!!!]

From some woods, yes.

[She is...trying not to mention those woods are in another world.]

[selfidentitytheft]

Same. Or like, historically. I've been in cities mostly lately.

[Despite having surely caught this Zorua in the Safari Park, his hoodie's white with red swirls to match the Hisuian Zorua look. one of those trainers that looks like their pokemon.]

[desirestruth]

[That's the cutest shit she's ever seen in her life. Oh my god.]

I guess it's something we'll both have to get used to, then?

[Or maybe notice the grass rustling.]

[selfidentitytheft]

Yeah, but it ain't bad. Good company, right?

[gestures generously to the Zorua before both of them catch the noise, lifting their heads in the same sharp motion to look towards the rustling.]

[desirestruth]

Ah, what--

[JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION--no wait that's just. a venipede. Two venipede. Three....four....

Oh no. They're a swarm.]

...Oh, dear.

[selfidentitytheft]

...




Well fuck. Those dudes can definitely climb.

[desirestruth]

...Do you have any baits left?

[She fed the rest of hers to the Zorua...]

[selfidentitytheft]

Not that many.

[desirestruth]

Alright, then...on three, run as fast as you can.

[Why...is she picking up a rock?]

[selfidentitytheft]

Uhhhhhh?

[that is one rock and MANY bugs??]

[desirestruth]

[YEET. CRACK.

Oh that was a beedril nest right above them. Oh no.]

Run!

[selfidentitytheft]

[fuckin' BOLTS]

[he might be glamored up to look like a normal human but Kei is taking off at a fox sprint THIRTY-MILES-PER-HOUR OF GOODBYE BUGS]

Ilex Forest

[rolltoavoidpossession]

[Ryou's just trying to get through the forest when he sees someone just sitting there, letting various Pokémon climb on them. His Hisuian Zorua, Banshee, decides to just trot up and sniff at this weird person, which could be either good or bad depending on how much this person likes weird ghost foxes.]

Banshee, no. [Then, to the person, who Banshee is still sniffing, completely ignoring her trainer:] Hey, are you okay?

[rolltoavoidpossession]

Aren't there? Apparently there's a whole ghost type of Pokémon, like Banshee here. [He gestures at the little Zorua as he speaks, who pricks her ears at her name.

...And of course Ryou thinks ghost types are neat. Considering his general interest in weird and creepy things, this shouldn't be a surprise.]

Re: Ilex Forest

[desirestruth]

[ Good news, Banshee, she used to be a weird ghost fox. Which is to say, she starts a little when she hears someone talking, but has immediately focused on the pokemon...and is digging in her pocket for a treat. Not that it changes how...severe her expression is. ]

Oh, hello... [Wait, no, address the question, Naeva.] Mm? I'm quite alright, I was just meditating...

[desirestruth]

[SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU BUDDY. OH GOD. OH GOD SO MANY ANGRY BUG POKEMON BEEDRIL SHE'S SO SORRY SHE HAD TO--

I am sure sprinting their dumb asses into a new biome will also go great, but did they head for the hills or the swamp?]
