Poacher looked down at the smaller Pokémon, at the berry he was holding, and chuckled. "Hey, a chesto berry! I'm not a fan, but Bathory loves them. Especially roasted and turned into a tea. She's gonna be so hyped! Not that she'll show it..." He chuckled again, opening his makeshift bag to let the Plusle drop the fruit in. "Get as many as you can reach. She's gonna need placating..." Perking at the sound of the Charizard's voice, he nodded his head slowly, a lazy smile on his muzzle.

Deeper in the forest, Swipe was covering up the entrance to his hideout before darting into the shadows. He had plenty of berries, but he needed something more substantial than that. He needed eggs. He had originally taken little Huey to eat, but something about the cold blue shell and sheer weight of the thing stopped him. He didn't know what it was, but he felt bad for the hefty morsel. Digging his claws into the bark of a tree, he swiftly climbed up onto the higher branches, looking for the tell-tale signs of a nest worth raiding...
((Visible to anyone either flying or looking up, middle of the forest))

Oh Arceus now there's more to worry about than that bug thing; there's something in the woods. Not that he could clearly see anything; it was more of a vague shape than anything else. Still, it worried him to no end, and he kept shifting gazes into the above and beyond where the bug-thing is and to the near distance where a vague shape was among the treetops. This isn't good.

Roman | *Charizard* | Female | lvl 37 | Mentions: pretty much everyone on the beach

Well, nice too see some friendly faces. The fire-type grinned and lumbered over to the entrance of the forest, where two of the other 'mons were, apparently, picking berries. Speaking for herself, berries didn't do much to edge off her hunger, but she was happy to help if they needed it. Using her height to her advantage, the charizard scanned over the bushes, bearing berries ripe for the picking. Another twitch from her extra fingers. "You need any specific kind?" she asked the zangoose nearby her.

Levi//Umbreon//Male

Levi was having trouble keeping a level head, sure he may appear calm and collected but truth be told he was having an internal freak out. How in blazes did we end up on this island!!? The last think I recall was being on that blasted cruise ship with... her.. he suddered slightly at the reminder of Jesse. Taking a deep breath, he watched as Keeda listened for a return howl, but several minutes had passed and there had yet to be even a slight noise. Dark blue eyes connected with flaming crimson ones as he shook his head at Gaara, conveying his doubt that there would be an answer. Turning back to Keeda he was about to inform her that they should keep moving since it would dangerous to stay here after practically declaring they were in this spot, when something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. Peering in the direction of the beach, he was shocked to see a young Riolu slumping down in the sand.

"Keeda! Gaara! Look to the beach!" He barked, bringing his two companions attention to the small pokemon.

Keeda//Growlithe//Female

Keeda sharply turned her gaze towards the white sand, her startled eyes softening as they landed on the small Riolu. She may not be the most trusting pokemon but even she could see that this was just a baby, and obviously frightened and confused. Gracefully getting to her paws, she immediately took off in the Riolu's direction, ignoring Levi and Gaara as they protested some rediculous idea about a trap. Honestly! Some of the things those two come up with... This is just a baby! She thought fondly. It didn't take her but a few seconds to reach the young pokemon, and her heart dropped when she noticed tears staining the baby's fur. Leaning her head down she gently licked his salty cheek, lowering to her stomach on the sand so that she was his height and would appear as non threatening as possible.

"Hello little one, my name is Keeda" She greeted softly, nosing his paw gently and looking for any obvious wounds. "Are you injured anywhere? Do you know where your parents are?" She inquired, though she was not sure if this Riolu was able to understand, he did seem quite young.

Poacher shook his head. "Nope, any kind will do. Of they aren't edible, my partner can probably still find a use for them. She's one smart cookie." He sent a goofy, toothy grin Roman's way, before plucking a juicy pecha berry off the bush. The more picking they did, the further into the treeline they got, as at least Poacher was wanting to get to camp. "Hmm... pecha. Means there are poison types around here. My mother always said the land provides what you need most. If you find pecha, it means poison. Pecha, chesto... If we find cheri berries as well then we have a ton of bug types on our paws." Poison, sleep, and maybe even paralysis. Definitely signs of bug types.

Swipe looked up, spotting a Vibrava in the air, and then looking down he saw... what was that thing? So fluffy... could he eat it? It looked like a normal type, and he wasn't all that good at handling those, so no. Not food. Still, it could know where food was, and maybe even more than that. Maybe it had something shiny for him to snatch. Dropping out of the tree, he landed with a delicate thud a fair distance from the Furfrou, and then waved a paw at it. Couldn't hurt to know his neighbors.

Victoria nearly slammed into the thick oak as she turned, hot on the heels of a rattata. She was starving, had eaten nothing but nasty oran berries all week, and her body was craving real food. Just as the nasty little beastie tried to dive into a hole, she grabbed it by the tail and pulled it toward her. One bite and the rodent was done for. Collecting the limp body in her jaws she half dragged it into a bush. The smell of blood would surely draw in something bigger than herself, but she didn't care. She was a masterful speed eater by now...
((Gruesome, I know, but a cat's gotta eat, yo))

Silver had been aimlessly walking around the forest when something above her caught her attention. Looking up she saw a Pokemon high in the trees. She pounded her hoof against the tree, hopping to get its attention.

Kurama||Ninetales||Male||Level 45||Mentions:beach group

After a few minutes of sitting, Kurama heard voices down the beach. Standing up, he began walking towards them. After a few minutes he soon saw a small group of Pokemon. They seemed to be friendly so he stepped forward. "Do any of you know where we are?"

Sunny||Rosalia||Female||Level 15||Mentions:Beach group

After what seemed like hours of walking, Sunny came upon a strange group of Pokemon. For the time being she stayed away, deciding to observe them.

Twitch||Vibrava||Male||Level 35||Mentions:Florence

Twitch saw a Pokemon below him, so he dove down to inspect it. It looked like a furfrou, and it seemed to already be aware of him. "Hello, I'm Twitch, and you are?" He spoke quickly, his eyes on the Pokemon.

"Hello. I'm, er," he looked between Twitch and the other Pokemon, "Florence." Great job Florence, you're turning into a worried mess instead of that confident, strong furfrou that was the star of his household. No, time to reclaim your dignity, Florence. Besides, the other one can't attack as so long as this bug...guy... is helping you. The normal type turned his gaze to the currently-unnamed stranger, swallowing whatever fear that was constricting his throat. "And you are...?"

Roman | *Charizard* | Female | lvl 37 | Mentions: Poacher

"Alright, that makes things significantly easier." She nodded, reaching out with a trembling hand to pluck a berry from it's mother bush. Not that she was really worried that she'd crush it and embarrass herself in front of strangers...No, it was more that she was concerned that she'd crush it and, well, lose a source of food. But stubby arms couldn't really carry too much, so Rowan didn't really feel too concerned about it. Besides, why use arms when you could use your head?

And she did use it, plucking a branch filled with some Pecha berries off of the main stalk of the plant.

Gracidea | Deerling | Lv. 12 | Female

Thin legs trembled as the small Deerling attempted to stand on the uneven sand. It gave way under her hooves far too easily for her liking. Gracidea sniffled as she looked around desperately. The water was dark and choppy, and quite scary. The remains of her pokeball were half-buried in the sand around her. Why would this happen to her? She was wet, alone, and hungry. And she missed her trainer, Ally. Ally was probably missing her too. Oh, what was she going to do? She felt her bottom lip begin to tremble and tears well up in her eyes.

Trick | Murkrow | Lv. 24 | Male | Near: Swipe

Trick flapped his wings, dodging and weaving through the tree tops. In his beak he held a small bundle of sticks. He had been on this island a couple days now, and he was trying to make the best of things. This meant he was building a nest that could serve as a semi-permanent home. Who knew how long he was going to be here? He hadn't tried flying back towards the mainland yet, trying to give his wings to rest up properly for a long flight. Trick alighted in the crook of two branches where he had built most of that nest already. After this he was going to have to find some berries for dinner. Maybe he could steal some from another pokemon....

Martin | *Vibrava* | Lv. 37 | Male | Mentions: Bathory

Orange wings shimmered and made an odd humming noise as Martin flitted through the trees. His bug-like feet grasped onto the trunks of trees easily every time he paused. His head swiveled around, large eyes taking in as much of his surroundings as they could before moving on. The Vibrava had woken up on the island pretty recently, but nearer to the middle, near the huge mountain. Now he was on the hunt for other pokemon, either for company or maybe something to hunt. As a Trapinch in the desert, there hadn't been a whole lot of berries to eat, so he often resorted to eating the straying Cacturne or Maractus. Ever since he had been caught though, his trainer Danny had fed him more conventional pokemon foods. Martin didn't know why Danny had released him, only that he was no longer owned. He zoomed around, enjoying the sensation of flying more than paying attention to where he was going. Without realizing it, he flew right into a half-built shelter, effectively destroying it and all the progress whoever had built it. The impact threw off his mojo and he tumbled out of the air and skidded across the ground.

Poacher covered his muzzle before snorting with suppressed laughter. "I suppose that's a bit more... expedient." Finally giving into the urge to laugh, he chuckled brightly, before spotting yet another new addition. "Hi! And no, I'm sorry. I have no clue where we are. I've only been here a couple days myself. Well, me and my partner." He pointed a long claw into the trees. "That's where we're headed, if you wanna join. I mean, Bathory might not like it, but she'll just act grouchy. You don't have to worry about her."

Swipe watched as the bug swooped down to greet the, er... thingy, so he turned his attentions to the next nearest 'mon. Waving at the Ponyta, he gave a weak, rather curious smile. It was obvious he didn't plan on trusting her anytime soon. At the flap of wings, he sent a hopeful glance skyward to spot a nest, but he could tell even from there that there were no eggs. A male Murkrow, a nest too small for a pair, so there was nothing for him up there.

A very miffed Gardevoir spun around to cast a glare at whoever had destroyed all her hard work and effort. Spotting the cause, she let loose a sharp huff before composing herself and walking over. Fully evolved, she towered over the insect, and her fairy aura created a huge, pulsating bubble of energy. "Excuse me, what was that? Are you blind? Watch where you're flying! I spent hours on that, and now I have to start all over!" She felt like blasting the little pest off the face of the island, but she took a deep, soothing breath, casting a Calm Mind over herself. "My partner is counting on me to have this done. And now I have to start over." She was starving, and her energy was running dangerously low. She didn't even know if she had enough to finish the job now.

Carrying a small pile of berries he cautiously walked towards Zangoose, letting the berries on the ground in front of him a retreating a little. Observing the Ninetales curiously, he had never seen one from up close before, they were really big and fluffy. 'Perfect for cuddling' He waved tentatively at the fox pokemon, hoping he was friendly. His encounter with pokemons bigger than him, meaning almost everyone, ended up in him having to run or fight for his life. Mostly because he looked defenceless and thus he seemed a good prey.

Silver looked at the sneasle curiously, before trotting forward. "Hello, I'm Quicksilver, but that's a bit of a mouthful so I go by Silver." Mentally she scolded herself for talking so much, but she tended to ramble when she was nervous. "Sorry, I didn't ask your name. Who are you?"


Kurama||Ninetales||Male||Level 45||Mentions: Beach group

Kurama looked at the zangoose. "I suppose I'll join you." At the pokemons comment about his partner the Ninetales scoffed. "Believe me, I won't worry about her." It might have seemed arrogant, but Kurama didn't really care for other Pokemon. If she acted grouchy, so be it. Looking down at the small plusle who approached the zangoose. He have him a curt nod before returning his gaze to who seemed like the "leader"

Sunny||Rosalia||Female||Level 15||Mentions:Beach group

Sunny decided that they seemed nice enough, so she entered their area. She didn't immediately speak to them, she began gathering small berries. It would be better to introduce herself with a peace offering.

Twitch||Vibrava||Male||Level 35||Mentions:Florence

"Well like I said, I'm Twitch. pleased to meet you Florence." The furfrou seemed a bit nervous, and the Vibrava didn't understand why. "Are you having a pleasant stay?"

Hm, whatever that Pokemon is doesn't seem to matter, because it seems to be quite preoccupied with someone else. Fine with him, besides, this bug-creature seemed much more polite than whatever that other individual was. "As pleasant as it can be," he answered with a sigh. "I do miss the land I was from though--But that's another story. If I may ask, what are you doing here?"

Roman | *Charizard* | Female | lvl 37 | Mentions: Poacher

"What? You think it's overkill?" she joked, voice muffled from being obscured by a mouthful of branch. Huh, others seemed to be joining up too; it was practically a party at this point. "Oh right!" She perked up, dropping her branch into her empty hand, which cautiously wrapped itself around the wood. "I forgot to introduce myself." The charizard dipped her head, winking at the smaller Pokemon. "I'm Roman."

Poacher bent down to gingerly collect the berries, giving the small electric type a gentle smile before turning his attention back to the Ninetales. "Good. She's all bark anyway. You know those fairy types, they can't help but be sweethearts deep inside. Don't, eh... don't tell her I said that though, okay?" Spotting yet another form closing in, he kept an eye on the Roselia, but not a suspicious one. Purely curious. He was quite fond of grass types, and held absolutely no fear of poison types whatsoever. He flashed another kind smile her way, carrying on in his duties. At Roman's voice, he turned away for just a moment. "Poacher, I'm Poacher."

Swipe watched the equine as she spoke, letting a moment of silence go by before speaking. "I'm Swipe. Pleasure ta meet ya, Silver." He said in his rough, streetwise accent. There was a subtle nasal quality to his voice, inherent of all Sneasel, that made him sound extra sleazy, but he didn't mind. Kept unwanted company at bay. He cast an uneasy glance toward his den, but tried to hide it. He didn't like being away from his treasure for too long. He wasn't the only thief in these woods, after all...

Trick | Murkrow | Lv. 24 | Male | Mentions: Swipe, Quicksilver, Beach group, Sunny

It didn't take long for Trick to finish the final touches on his nest. He hopped in and made sure everything was satisfactory. That done, he decided now would be a good a time as any to scavenge up some grub. Just as he was about to take off, however, the sound of voices nearby caught his attention. Looking, he noticed a Sneasel in a tree near his and an oddly colored Ponyta at the base. They didn't seem to have anything to eat though, so now wasn't the time to mess with them. He took off and soared closer to the beach and noticed quite a large group gathered. Seems like a lot more pokemon had showed up today. He circled above the group, scanning. They had amassed quite a hoard of berries. Trick seriously considered swooping down and stealing some from the hands of the tiny Plusle, but he was surrounded by a lot of much larger pokemon. That was when he saw a Roselia farther away from the group on it's own. Perfect prey. Trick tucked in his dark wings and began descending sharply towards the Roselia.

Martin | *Vibrava* | Lv. 37 | Male | Mentions: Bathory

Martin sat up, a little dazed, and looked around before rising up into the air once again. "Sorry, sorry, so sorry," he said in his too-quick voice. Even though he was technically hovering, his body jerked a little sporadically. "Completely my fault. Here let me help you." Without waiting for a response he zipped around and tried picking up the materials to put them back into place. He had moved just a few objects when suddenly he stopped, rounding on the Gardevoir. "You said you had a partner. Who are they? What are they like? Are they human? I haven't seen any humans around but I haven't been here very long. I miss my trainer. Is your human partner your trainer? I'm hungry. Do you have any food?"

He watched the Rosalia curiously, she didn't seem to be that strong. But he wasn't one to judge, he wasn't exactly the appearance of strength. He was about to wave at her when he saw a dark shape diving down towards the Rosalia, without thinking he took a defensive stance and used Spark on the rapidly approaching black form. He didn't want to hurt it seriously, it probably was just hungry and Little Spark could understand that. Stunning him would do for now.
