Jackson gave a vigorous nod. "You got it! This is gonna be great!" Bulbasaur replied with enthusiasm.

The pair found themselves at the small arena just outside the Pokémon Center. Jackson was a bit surprised he didn't catch it earlier. That would have been the first place he went to before the Plaza. He simply shrugged it off. He didn't know what to expect from his opponent, Marin, but based on that Chikorita, he was going to see Pokémon he'd never seen before.

Jackson couldn't contain his excitement. "How many Pokémon do you have?" He asked from across the arena.
 
Marin sat at the bench that was next to the battlefield. He was getting the berries that Asura picked earlier and putting the pills in the berries after crushing them up. Since he knows that Asura will be feeling a bit hungry after waking up. "One sec, Jackson. Ursaring with me," (You get it:) ) Marin took off his parka jacket and placed it on the bench beside him. Marin then carefully placed Asura on the jacket, so she could comfortably continue sleeping. Marin then ran to the other end of the battlefield that opposed Jackson. "Sorry, you won't be facing Asura, but I do have one other Pokemon that I can use," Marin threw his Pokeball high up it released a white glow sending out Rory the Buneary. Rory posed a battle stance and squinted his eyes at Jackson. "Bun!" "Is one v one, okay with you? Well, I only have one Pokemon to fight with anyway," Marin chuckled.
 
(OOC: 'Ursaring with me'! LOL :D)

Jackson's eyes widened as he beheld this brown and white bunny-like Pokémon. "Whoa!" He pulled out his Pokedex to scan it.

'Buneary. The Rabbit Pokémon. The ears are on it's head are always curled up. When forcefully extended, they can even shatter boulders.'

"Whoa, a Buneary." Jackson smiled. "That's way cool! Yeah, a one on one is totally okay with me." He turned down to his partner. "What do you say? You want in?" Bulbasaur nodded and made his way into the arena, staring down Buneary.

"Bulba!" he growled.
 
(Unfortunately yes, I get it)
Will had arrived at Gronk, after healing his Pokémon, he exited the centre to see an arena. He saw Marin and Jackson begin to battle. "Cool!" He said to himself "an arena!"
He sat himself down on a bench next to the arena, and began to watch
 
"Okay, you ready Rory?!" Marin asked Rory. Rory turned around shook his fist and had a determined look. "Bun!" "Awesome let's begin," Marin raised his hand to say his command, but then his heart skipped a beat as he realised that this was his first every Pokemon battle. This made him all the more excited and determined. "Rory use Baby Doll Eyes!" Rory turned back to Bulbasaur and his eyes became extremely cute and Rory made a cute face to compliment it as well.

Asura slowly opened her eyes and woke up. She looked around slightly worried about where she was or where was everyone. However, she was soon calmed won after seeing Marin on the battlefield just in front of her. The feeling of hunger overtook any other feeling she had, so she reached into her pouch and pulled some berries that she picked earlier. She ate one and started to nibble on the second. Blue crumbs covered her mouth and she didn't realise. However, she did notice a trainer sitting on the same bench that she was sat at. Asura looked at the trainer and for the first time in all her life, she didn't start having an anxiety attack at the site of someone close to her beside Marin. She wanted to test herself so she hesitantly and slowly walked towards the trainer that was watching the battle.

Will was watching the battle intently when he noticed the Chikorita getting closer to him slowly, but ignored it as he knew that it was nervous. "it will be easier for her" he whispered.

On the other side of him to Asura, Squirtle was talking to Pidgey in a hushed tone, as to not alert Will
"Squirt (I know he's a bit... weird at times, and that you are scared and confused)" He said "Squirtle squirt (but he is a good person at heart, I promise)"
"Pidgey (I don't know)" Pidgey said, shaking her head "Pid (He trapped me in a little ball and it was scary)"
Squirtle sighed "Squirt (most people would)" he said "Squirtle (anyways have this)"
He gave Pidgey a Pokepuff, which Pidgey hesitantly ate
"Pid! Pidgey pid! (Wow! This is amazing!)" Pidgey said
"Squirt (Only reason i stay around him)" Squirtle agreed "squirt (He makes the best Pokepuffs... can't cook anything else though)"
 
Asura went right up to the trainer and felt uneasy with every step. She sat down next to her breathing kind of loudly. "Chikor," Asura said whilst looking up at the trainer. She waved her foot to say hi. Asura then went back to nibbling on her berry, adding on to the crumbs that were around her mouth.
 
Will turned to Asura "Hello" he whispered, smiling, and grabbed a Pokepuff out of his bag, holding it out towards Asura "Want this?"
Meanwhile Squirtle, who had been reaching for the same Pokepuff, sighed and sat down to continue watching the battle.
"Its good i promise" Will said
 
Asura flinched slightly when Will offered Asura the Pokepuff. She opened an eye to see a tasty treat being held in front of her face. Asura looked back and forth between the Pokepuff and Will. She slowly and hesitantly took the Pokepuff from Will's hand and looked it at. Asura looked up will one last time before nibbling at it. As soon as she did her eyes lit up and she became overjoyed. Asura looked back at Will with an overjoyed face. "Chi-Chikor!" She chirped. Asura placed the berry she was eating back in her pouch and continued to munch on the Pokepuff. She quickly finished it and she turned back toWill and had a big smile on her face. "Chikor!" She chirped again.
 
The Buneary, Rory, Jackson guessed, gave Bulbasuar a pair of seemingly cute eyes. Jackson wondered what that could have done. One look at Bulbasaur started to paint a picture, however. He seemed... distracted. Smiling nervously and a look on his face contemplating his actions.

"Hey, Bulbasaur, snap out of it." Bulbasaur replied by shaking his head. It seemed to work. For a moment. He looked back into Rory's eyes and that look was on his face again. Jackson needed to do something. "Alright, Bulbasaur, let's try a Tackle!"

Like lighting a match, Bulbasaur sprang to life and rushed at the Buneary with as much speed as it could muster.
 
Buneary got slightly startled as his Baby-doll eyes didn't have much effect. "Rory use Dizzy Punch!" Buneary's ear started to glow yellow and then he swung it at the incoming Bulbasaur.

Charles was oblivious to everyone that had already left the Poké Center, as he went up to the Nurse after she called him, as she said, "Alright, I have a call for Charles, with his baby Dragonite."
He went up to the nurse and replied to her, "Alright, thanks Nurse... I can't really thank you enough here. Try to be careful with my baby Dragonite, he might seem small, but he's a pretty high level... so I'm trying to keep him off of battling with lower levels."
She replied back as she escorted him to the examination room, "Well thank you Charles, I should tell you that I'm Nurse Ana, and the room I'm taking you is at room 1-A3. I'm going to do a check up first to see what's wrong with him, and then do the treatment. This might take some time, so patience is a virtue in the Poké Center."

Nurse Ana escorted him to their room, as she opened the door and led them inside, while she closed the door the moment everyone was inside. She said to Charles as she adjusted her coat, "Charles, I must ask that you hand your Dragonite for a few moments. Don't worry, I'm just doing a check up here... if I screw up on anything, it'll be on me." He nodded at her, as he gently handed over the baby Dragonite to her. She held him gently, as she placed him down on a table with soft cushions. She then placed the disk of her stethoscope on his chest, as she listened in onto the sounds and said to Charles, "Well, I think that he might be a little nervous also, his heart rate just tells me that he's got a lot of stress on him. Is he usually afraid of this place or something?"
He replied to her as Scanner turned its nozzle towards her, "Well, I think that he might be having a fear of the Poké Centers, which is unfortunate if he does."

Nurse Ana grabbed a thermometer as she cleaned it again, making sure that it was sterile, as she placed her stethoscope away on her tools rack. She placed it in Dragonite's mouth, as she held him gently to try to calm him. She then took it out, as she said to Charles, "Yeah, he's got a very, very bad fever... his temperature is 41.3 degrees Celsius. He has to get treated as soon as possible!"
Scanner said to her as Dragonite coughed rather loudly, "I hate to break it to you, but he's got a bad cough, which means he might also be contagious."
She replied to Charles and Scanner, "Oh my, so he's also contagious... that means that we can't have him be near other Pokémon for the time being then. I'll let you two stay with him if you want, since most Pokémon sicknesses don't tend to affect humans, but they can affect other Pokémon."

She placed the baby Dragonite in a incubator, while the door hatch was still opened, as she said to Charles, "Now, I'm going to have to do a minor cool down on him first since having a very high fever is dangerous. I will also have to make him fall asleep, so he won't be awake while I'm doing this. I'm also going to feed him some medicine, but not too much since the bacteria can develop resistances if they have so much of it." He nodded, as he watched Nurse Ana work on the baby Dragonite with Scanner. The baby Dragonite heard Scanner said before he fell asleep, "Please get well soon... even though I'm a robot, I still love you."

Meanwhile, a Minun was walking around, as he was in Gronk City, trying to see if there were any places to rob. He saw a Poké Center and a Poké Mart nearby, as he thought to himself, "Pokémon Center, nope... that's too mean. How about that Pokémon Market, eh not that one either, there's a lot of people there in broad daylight. So where can I go to rob some places then, I need some action here!" He pondered around for a moment, as he saw an Arena that was near the Poké Center. He didn't want to go over there, knowing that someone might catch him if they really wanted to. He stood by the Poké Center, and went invisible, though he wasn't invisible completely, as someone could have seen his faint outlines if they looked sharply at him. He tried to get his thoughts together before he would just go rob a place, as he thought to himself, "Man, it seems like there isn't any good places to rob. I've already done the museum, the famous bank in that other region, and now there isn't just any places in this city. I'm sure that there has to be a famous place in this region that's worthy of robbing, I just know it! There has to always be that one place that is like that in every region, I'll stop at nothing to find it, and once I find it, I'm going to relieve it of its riches."
 
Due to the momentum of his Tackle, Bulbasaur was unable to change direction quickly and the Rory's paw smacked into Bulbasaur's jaw. The force of the punch sent Bulbasaur soaring back several feet, landing on his back like a turtle. "Bulbasaur!"

Bulbasaur rolled off his back and stood up straight. He wobbled back and forth and couldn't seem to focus on Buneary. It was like he was in a trance. "Bulbasuar? What's wrong pal?"

"Bul... ba?"

"Hey, snap out of it!"
 
Marin pondered in thought, thinking what was happening to Bulbasaur. Marin then gasped after realising that Bulbasaur got confused from Rory's Dizzy punch. "This is our chance to finish this Rory! Use Jump Kick." Rory leaped and spun in the air before charging towards the daze Bulbasaur feet first. "Buneary!" Rory yelled as he unleashed his attack.

"Bulbasaur, look out!"

Bulbasaur either didn't hear him or react fast enough. Either way, the soaring rabbit's foot found it's target. The kick sent Bulbasaur soaring through the air with a scream of pain. He flew back several feet and hit the ground hard. "Bul... ba..." He stayed on the ground in a daze. The battle was over.

Jackson rushed over to Bulbsaur's side. "Hey, good job, buddy. I know you did your best." Jackson looked up to Marin and smiled. "That was some great battling there."
 
Gavin walked out of the cafe to see an arena. "Hmmm... should I go there?" he asked himself. He wanted to see a battle, or maybe he should battle. He did however, wanted to be ahead of everyone, so he could take over against the gym leader to destroy him, then he would be in the Bloka league if he keeps on doing that. The Bloka League was closer at Cronk City then to the next gym. He knew he had to win, he was always the runner up through the Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos League.

He walked in the arena, to see a battle.

"Cool." he said, whispering to Destiny.

Destiny just needed one more step to become a Sylveon, affection. She already knew a Fairy type move, Baby-Doll Eyes.

The battle was over. "Dang it."
 
Marin froze with a dropped jaw, shocked at the result. Marin then snapped out of it then punched the air in celebration. "We did it! We won sonny Jim!" Marin cheered as he picked up Rory and swung him round in a circle before hugging him. Marin then tried to play it cool after celebrating because he realised that he was looking like a sore winner. "Oh um sorry about that... that was a good battle," Marin said calmly to Jackson. Rory walked up to Bulbasaur and put out his fist for a fist bump. "Bun,"

Marin then briefly gazed over at Asura and noticed her interacting with a trainer that they haven't met before. Marin was absolutely amazed at what he was seeing. Any other time that happened she would run away crying. "The medication must have worked then," Marin chuckled to himself.
 
Jackson stood up and smile. "Hey, don't sweat it. That was a great battle. You really beat me pretty good." Jackson stretched out his hand to the taller Pokémon trainer to shake.

When Bulbasaur finally came to, he noticed that his opponent was stretching out his arm for a fist bump. The grass Pokémon smiled and stretched out a vine from it's bulb. It lightly tapped against Buneary's fist. "Bulba. Bulbasaur."
 
Marin grabbed his hand and shook it. "That was actually my first ever battle," Marin said. Asura then ran to Marin and jumped into his arms. "Chikor!" Asura chirped. "Wow, you're in a good mood today aren't you. This is Jackson and Bulbasaur, say hi." Asura stared at Jackson with a blank face and did a small wave with her foot, as she wasn't 100% confident yet when it came to interacting with others.

Rory then noticed another trainer that had just arrived at the battlefield. Rory bounced over to Gavin and waved to the Eevee with a big, heart-warming smile. "Bun-Bun,"
 
Jackson smiled to Asura, but she didn't seem to want to return it. "Hey, Asura. How are you today?"

Bulbasuar looked up to Chikorita, but she didn't seem to be interested in interacting too much with him either.

"Say, this was actually my first battle. But I gotta say, for your first battle, that was a pretty sweet battle. Maybe we'll be able to battle again sometime?"

Bulbasaur gave a nod and smile. "Bulba! Bulba!"
 
"Yeah for sure," Marin replied. Marin then looked down at Asura's unusually calm face. "I'm surprised that the medicine actually worked as well as it did. By this point, she's crying, screaming and clinging on to me, now look at her," Asura looked up at Marin and smiled. "Asura doesn't like to battle at all, and cries at even the thought of her battling, so that's why I had to do a one v one," Marin explained. "So what are you going to do now Jackson?"

Def walked alongside Maple, Growlie by his side and keeping on alert just to be sure they were going to get there safely.
He listened carefully to her explanation, giving a soft sigh and shook his head, "They never change..." He said.
"Yeah, we found her more easily thanks to you, buddy," He said to Stoutland, "And you saved us both from getting attacked by that Toxicroak, so I'm very thankful to you too. You really made quite the 'impact'" He said with a proud grin at his pun. Who can't appreciate a good pun?

"I'm glad they never got all of your research, then," He said, getting back on topic, "Though... being from Kanto myself, I know Team Rocket don't give up easily so we'll need to be on high alert. If they're wanting your research rather than your pokemon, it must be pretty important. Of course, I won't pry on what the research is, that's your business and you're entitled to keep it to yourself... But how did the Rocket's find out?" And, more importantly, how did they manage to re-form and come all the way out to this region without anyone being aware?
He thought about how terrible it'd be if the new trainers started running in to them... Guess he'll have to help watch their backs.
 
Professor Maple shrugged her shoulders after Def asked his question. "I don't know how they knew what I was researching..." Professor pondered in thought. "Oh we're back at the Lab now, thank you again Def," Stoutland smiled at Growlie and barked. "I'll be off now, I'll inform Officer Jenny of the incident. You take care Def and you too Growlie," Maple said as she stroked Growlie's head.
 
"Strange..." He said, this could be more trouble than just what happened today.
"Of course," He said with a smile, happy to help, "Good, Jenny will be all over it. Please don't hesitate to call me if you need help, you don't have to try take them on alone.

Growlie gave a happy bark at Stoutland and wagged his tail when Maple pet his head, giving a grumble of acknowledgement of her appreciation.

Once Def was sure she was back safely in the lab with her Stoutland, he began walking along the route many of the new trainers took earlier to head on to the next cities, being lost in thought as he arrived in Gronk City. Growlie's ears perked up as he noticed some of the new trainers -- Will, Marin and Jackson -- and gave a quiet bark at Def to snap him out of being lost in his thoughts.

"What..? Oh, right," He said and looked over at the trainers, recognising Will and Marin but Jackson was a new face to him. It was nice to see them not shying away from one another and looks like they even had a friendly battle.
 
Will got up, "hey" he said "can I battle one of you guys now?"
Squirtle groaned "Squirt(impatient as ever)"

Will heard Growlie's barking and turned to see Def, and waved.
(@Gpig5 can I have team rocket attack us in my next post?)
 
Def smiled and waved back and decided to make his way over to them, Growlie laying down as soon as they got there to look a bit less intimidating -- he remembered the Chikorita was pretty anxious of him when he met earlier.

"Hey, guys," He'd greet, "Finding your way around Bloka so far?"

[OOC: Ooooh dun dun duuun!]
 
"DEFinitely!" Will joked "but seriously yes I"
Will heard Squirtle groan somewhere behind him and decided to change the subject.
"So" he said "what have you been up to?"
 
Marin turned to see a pleasant surprise in Def and his Arcanine. "Wow, didn't expect to see you all the way out here, was Quintento boring you?" Marin joked around. Asura looked at Growlie with a scared look and started to grab Marin's sleeve with a tightened grip. "Guess Asura is just scared of Growlie and it's not related to her anxiety," Marin whispered to himself in thought.
 
Def stared for a moment in surprise and then laughed, "Well good, nice to see I'm not the only one who makes terrible puns," He said.

"Oh, not much really, had a run around with Growlie then decided to come check up on you kiddos to make sure you weren't causing trouble," He said playfully with a soft grin. Heh, yeah, just a run, it didn't involve them almost getting beaten up by some hooligans.

"Haha, oh that place is certainly not boring," He replied to Marin, looking at Asura and then at Growlie, seeing why Growlie lay down so quick.
"Aw, you scared of this big softy, Asura?" He said and ruffled the mane on top of Growlie's head, "He's a push over, I bet you could beat him up."
 
Marin turned to Will and said. "Sorry, I would battle you but I just had one and it's not wise to have two in a row," Rory the Buneary then ran to Growlie and jumped on top of him. Rory then started to hug his back because of his soft fur, and Rory was on the verge of falling asleep as he got so comfortable. "Oh uh Rory what are you doing?!" Marin was caught off guard with how full on Rory was being. He's used to Asura being nervous around everyone so when Rory tries to make friends it always catches him off guard.
 
Def watched in surprise as the Buneary ran over and jumped up on Growlie and laughed, "Well, he's not worried about Growlie, at least," He said as he watched him. Growlie didn't even flinch by it and was happy to let Rory climb all over him, wagging his tail just a little to show he wasn't bothered by it at all.

"Aw, no worries, Growlie's very friendly and has had tons of pokemon use him as a climbing frame. Rory certainly looks pretty comfortable," He said in amusement and looked to Asura, "Why don't you join your buddy, Asura?" He said, thinking this Buneary might be the key to getting Asura less anxious about things, "A giant fluffy hot water bottle sounds like a nice place to take a nap, right?"
 
"Come on Asura, it's time you should make friends," Marin said happily. Asura looked up to Marin with a worried look. "Don't worry, Growlie is a very kind Pokemon," Marin crouched down and carefully placed Asura on the ground and stepped back. Asura then ran back to Marin and tugged on his trousers with an even more worried look. "Chi-Chikor," Asura whimpered. "You need to fight your fears sometime, why not now. Come on, you can do it," Marin said softly as he tapped Asura's back encouraging to walk towards Growlie. Asura did a step forward and looked back to Marin with a nervous look. Marin smiled and did a thumbs up to her. Asura then looked back at Growlie, she paused after every step she did, letting out a quiet "Chi," after every step as well. Rory was oblivious to what was happening and still was rolling around in Growlie's fluffy hair.

A quiet "Psst... Psst... Hey Def," came from the bushes behind where Def and Growlie was standing, where no one else could hear the voice.
 
Def watched as Marin tried to give Asura the courage to go over to Growlie, it was nice to see such a deep level of trust.
Growlie remained still so not to startle Asura at all, staying calm and relaxed so that maybe Asura would feel a bit more secure from the lack of any tension in the atmosphere.

Def looked a bit puzzled when he thought he heard someone trying to get his attention, looking over his shoulder to see if anyone was there.
 
A man in a large, brown trench coat, that covered his whole body almost. He had sunglasses that covered his face. He had a large top hat that finished his mysterious disguise. "Psst...hey Def, this is urgent come here,"

Asura was only a few steps away from Growlie, but stopped and started to shake as she was getting more and more scared as she approached Growlie. Rory sat on Growlie's head and yelled "Bun!" and waving his arms to Asura trying to say hi. However, this majorly scared Asura pushing her over the edge. Asura sprinted back to Marin crying and screaming, she wrapped herself around Marin's leg and clinging on as if her life depended on it. Marin picked her up and started cradling and gently stroking her back attempting to calm her down. Marin had a bit of a sad look on his face as he attended to Asura. "I guess we'll try another time then," Marin said in a bit of a sad tone. "Don't worry Growlie, don't think it's your fault. Asura's is just really nervous," Marin said softly to Growlie.
 
Def was pretty surprised to see such a shady looking guy there, where on earth did he come from all of a sudden?
Growlie perked his ears up when Asura ran away so suddenly and gave a soft worried whine from how distraught Asura seemed. He knew it was nothing to be sad about and hoped she'd not be so terrified some day. He seemed happier when Marin spoke to him and gave a soft "Arc" in response to what he was saying.

"I think I saw a wild pokemon moving around, I'm just going to quickly check it out," He'd say so he could slink away among the trees to get to the guy in the trench coat.

"Uh... Do I know you?" He'd say quietly to the mysterious stranger. Today was full of surprises.
 
(Sorry about that, I was at the dentist)
Will was watching the encounter quietly as he didn't want to scare the Chikorita, and so he had time to think of puns.
"Hey guys" he whispered to Squirtle, Pidgey and Wynaut, "I want to battle one of these guys, who's with me?"
"Squirt (Nope)" Squirtle said, shaking his head
"Pidgey (what? battle?)" Pidgey asked, walking backwards away from Will
"Wyyy?" Wynaut asked
Squirtle, who had previously been holding his breath, sighed in relief

He watched as Def left. "Alright then" he said "now what?"
 
The mysterious guy smoothly looked around for any people ears dropping. "You may not remember me, but I remember you. My name's Alderic, it's not my problem if that rings any bells for. Let's just say we were affiliated with each other a couple years back" Alderic said softly whilst checking behind and around him at all times. "I came to warn you that, Team Rocket are making a comeback here in Bloka, since it failed so miserably in Kanto. They thought they would have a fresh start." Alderic did a slight chuckle after stating that fact. Alderic then got really close to Def's face and whispered. "I would keep eyes on the back of your head if I was you...That's all I had to say. Have a good day," Alderic did a slight bow and started to walk off.
 
Will opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the sound of a car. He turned to see a White van parked next to the Arena, with one wheel missing. A man and woman exited, and began to speak
"Prepare for trouble you little runt!"
"Of our full power you'll bear the brunt!"
"Team Rocket blast of at the speed of a Medium-Sized-Automobile"
"Theres no turning back 'cos we lost a wheel!"

Then, in front of them, appeared a Man with a Kadabra. The man seemed much more serious than the other two, and much older as well.
"May I ask you" he said to the other two "how you are supposed to intimidate them like that"
Both of the Rockets stood up and saluted "yes sir! We understand sir!"
The man turned back to Will and Marin "We are team rocket" the man said "Hand over your Pokemon or we will be forced to take them. We have also heard that the boy who interrupted our operations earlier is here"
 
"Alderic..." Def parroted, feeling sudden dread come over him as he did remember this name. They weren't exactly buddies, but... He was certainly someone that could reveal who he was in the past.

"Yeah, I had the misfortune of running in to them earlier..." He said when he mentioned Team Rocket are trying to make a come back, listening carefully to what else he had to say. The whole thing felt very suspicious and he could think of a number of reasons why he'd be coming to tell him this information, none of those reasons lead to anything good. He flinched just slightly when he suddenly got so close to his face but didn't move to put any distance between them, staring at his eyes as he whispered to try and make any sense of what was going on in that head of his.

Needless to say, he was lost for words as he tried to process this information. He watched him begin to leave for a moment before moving a few strides to close the distance between them," Wait," He said in a mix of confusion and concern, "How do I know I can trust you? What do you gain from warning me?" He asked, not liking how so much of his past was coming to haunt him all in one day.

Growlie rose to his feet and protectively got in front of the trainers and their pokemon, lowering his head slightly and snarled with bared fangs at the Rockets that suddenly appeared. He gave a few loud barks, which Def heard loud and clear. He had a look of urgency as he looked back in the direction he came and then to the mysterious stranger, "Was this a distraction?!"
 
Alderic turned around again. "Let's just say I wanted out of Team Rocket as much as you did, but I wasn't as fortunate as you to escape my past. I guess you don't have to trust me, but the reason I'm telling you this was that I knew from the start how much of a kind person you were, despite the things you've done in Kanto. I'm just helping out a friend." Alderic said as he wandered into the forest to the point where he was no longer visible.

Marin's eyes opened wide at the site of the Team Rocket Grunts. His first reaction was to hold Asura as tightly as possible. Marin started to discreetly look around for an opening to run away. Marin leaned into Will slightly. "On the count of three, we run into the forest. Okay?" Marin whispered to Will.
