Insight-Survival-Nature.
(5)(4)(5)(5)(1)(4) (2)(4) Critical success. With your four Pokemon, you divide up the forest in the direction white Sawsbuck went. First, Ambipom notices a dainty hoofprint, though Sawsbuck almost seems to fly across the ground! Next, Heracross (on foot) finds a broken twig. He's not a strong flier at all. Finally, Honchkrow lazily circles back after quite some time, and you eventually persuade him to lead you to something he apparently found twenty minutes ago and didn't feel like telling you about - a little scrap of golden-white fur caught on a thorn bush. So far, Sawsbuck has just headed deeper and deeper into the woods.

Let's do an Alert roll now.
(6)(6)(2)(4)(5)(3)(4)(2)(3)

You and your Pokemon surround the white Sawsbuck. From their cries, you can tell that one of your Pokemon will sense Sawsbuck, then another will spot it right as the first Pokemon lost it. This continues for a while, until the four of you burst into a clearing you JUST saw Sawsbuck entering.

But in the clearing, you see only a Bunnelby, twitching its nose at you.

"Dang it." Say Heart frustrated with not be able to get that Sawsbuck. But there was one last thing to do. Perhaps the only thing who could do. "I have one last idea." Heart release Nidorina and Viktor from their Pokeballs. "There is one last thing I would want to try. It is more difficult to find Sawsbuck around this forest because of the darkness of this night...but I have a slight idea about what to do." Heart then ask Ambipom to lead him to the top of the trees. "Nidorina, I want you to use the move Moonlight. Send a really strong one as much you can, something who light most of the part of the forest. As much you can. This might distract Sawsbuck from his running when seeing such Moonlight, and the light will help you guys to find him. And maybe this will be able to blind him enough time. Viktor, when that happen use your plants to trap him, use Confuse to confuse him. Confused, this might stopping him from run. Honrchkrow, Heracross try to Grab him when you meet him. None of you have the permission to hurt him. Nidorina, if possible, also use Lovely Kiss to make him fall sleep."

If possible of course to use this course of actions. This gonna be my last trying in find that Sawsbuck. Hope this works...

*rolls*

When Nidorina uses Moonlight in the clearing, you glimpse a magical, near-invisible outline of Sawsbuck, as if the Pokemon was temporarily made out of starlight. It only lasts a second, then fades.


Some kind of Earthpower is protecting Sawsbuck at the moment, it seems. There may be a way around it, or some condition that has to be met.

Heart in the beggining was not very hopefull in the use of the move. But then he could glimpse the outline of Sawsbuck, shining like a starlight. Then answear then struck him like a arrow. He see such move before. "Camouflage...of course! No wonder Sawsbuck was disapearing! He was using his speed and camuflage to hide in the enviroment! Now...I guess I have a plan." He send orders to all his Pokemon. Heart also release his last Pokemon: Caesar. "Nidorina. Honrchkwon. I need you two to disrupt and interfere with Sawsbuck camouflage so I need you two to use Moonlight and Haze to keep changing the enviroment. This will also take Sawsbuck with his guard down. Honchrow also use Pursuit to keep you close to him to not let him escape, but do not attack him, and when get close use Swager to make him Confuse. Startle him to make him run in my direction. Caesar, I need you to go with Ambipom to put Poison Spikes to make Sawsbuck get slowed and trapped. The Poison Spikes will not hurt him, but it will reduce his moves and trap him."

"Viktor, Sawsbuck its somehow protect by some Earthpower drawn from the forest itself. I need you to ingraining yourself and and ask nature to not help Sawsbuck or forcibly cut off their access to the energies supplying their guard. He is gaining some earthpower with the conection with nature itself, but you Viktor IS a Guardian Tree Spirit and your species can communicate with Nature. Heracross, I need you to help Honckrow startle Sawsbuck and make him run though the Poison Spikes traps. Even if you are not a strong flying, you can climb in the trees from time to time, and make Sawsbuck get trapped and confuse in the traps. And thats gonna be the moment I will grab him. All we need is grab and catch him."

"Alright everyone! If you all understand the plan, lets go ahead! Time to begin the plan catch Deer!"

Great plan! Viktor cuts off Sawsbuck's connection to the forest with a crushing motion of one hand. Shadows leap up and outline Sawsbuck immediately, especially when contrasted against Moonlight and Haze. Sawsbuck's Camouflage was a little different than usual, using Earthpower rather than physical means. It kind of snaps the white hart out of the magical camouflage instantly. 

Sawsbuck edges sideways, but sees the Poison Spikes right in the direction he was planning to go. He stops, and lowers his rack to Heart! Flowers bloom around Heart's feet.

That's when Heart's eyes change color, and he receives a vision from an unnamed, unseen ancestor! Her voice appears in Heart's head. "There are ancient powers sleeping in the Teazel Valley and areas beyond. Our connection here is stronger...and Chespin and the White Hart are Pokemon who can understand such things. Chespin wanted to test you, to see how you managed something on your own. Only one who entered the clearing ALONE could see through Sawsbuck's camouflage. But you took the opposite tack, and passed the test using the power of your partnership with these Pokemon. We're proud of you, ArcHeart. You will be sorely tried soon, and I hope you will use the same skills and the same powerful friendship to survive, to protect. Goodbye for now........."

Chespin trundles into the clearing. It likewise bows, first to Sawsbuck and then to Heart, and hands you a red flower. Sawsbuck darts off, and Chespin agrees to come with you!

Gotcha! Chespin was caught!

Shiva's a bit occupied and by now too exhausted for any bigger actions, she'll probably receive Heart's message at some point while checking the time on her way from the Pokemon Center to the hostel she's staying at. Her first reaction after stopping on her path and reading through it is a mild sigh accompanied by a frown, before finally the worry and sense or urgency added. She kinda just wished to end her day with some dinner and the jam session, but if the PUNisher has something important to share, she can't afford to miss out on that!

Means, after having exchanged a telling look with Cottonee - 'What may the matter be that he needs to meet us that quickly and that suprisingly?' - she'll make a U-Turn back to the Center where she just came from, typing a response to him along the way.

It does read as following.

Hello back Heart! I'm doing fine, day's been exciting, as my earlier message told. (Can be found here.) I just came from the local Center, so I'll just wait for you in the Lobby, alright? Until then.

++Time skip++

As said Shiva's waiting at a table in the Lobby, now enjoying a hot herbal tea with Cottonee resting per usually on top of her head and Raphael by her side; the archangel was busy with mind- and carefully cleaning his soft feather coat. Primal Glaceon and Alola Vulpix as Shiva's extraordinaire Ice Types have taken a seat beneath the table in order to be safe from any curious glances, they're both yawning and sharing a bowl of dried berries.

Shiva waves to Heart as soon as she spots him. "Hi", she'll greet him, "So... What's the matter then, what's so important? And, uh, you're staying here at the Center during the night? There are a lot of comfy hostels nearby, while you have to care for the meals yourself you can meet up with other guests and their Pokemon at the evenings for events! ^w^ "

After that Heart stop typing and return to the job in make the pyre.

Heart would almost immediately get a reply back from the rugged wanderer, his message brief but meaningful:

'Good. Fought a Shieldmaidan and won, and helped clear swarms of Weedle and Sunkern, I think. (...) Okay. See you then. Take care.'

*Flashfoward*

And so Terra was in the rare collector's room, quietly leaning again one of the walls and chewing on a piece of fruit leather, while Melly was laying by his feet happily gorging herself on her self roasted namesake, while Tommy was prowling around the room, keeping a respectful distance from the dog (Best be on the safe side.....) while letting his curiosity acting as a guide for his investigation. This of course lead him to mossy up to the fae lass' gelid mammals, as he eyed the both of them with thoughtful interest. He's seen all kinds of Pokemon before, but none quite like these foxes, and yet the saggier of the pair......seeing them tickled at his memory, for some odd reason. What could that mean hrmm?

The mountain of a man smiled and waved at Shiva, and offers the same gesture to Spira and Nathan when they arrived. With Heart, though......he just frowned them and crossed his arms, looking at him not unkindly, but all the same not exactly so friendly either.

"What is it that you need to tell us?"

Straight and to the point, and his tone questioning yet firm. Yeap, things still hadn't thawed between the sagely monk and pun lover.

The message does read as following.

Well, hello! Shiva here, I'm sorry if you've been wondering where I've been or what I'm doing. Though I'm fine, everything's okay! Just wanted to tell that I just came back from the Safari Zone, that place's very worth the visit. I won't participate in the Cup tomorrow, as I rather, well, prefer to help making sure that everything goes well. Maybe we'll see one another even! ^_^

Poison and Bug Types are hiding everywhere though, so please take care of yourself if visiting this place. Good luck also if you're participating in the Cup!

That'll be all, have a good night's sleep and stay safe. Pixilated greetings!~

Nathan glances at Shiva's message during the Drill Run tutoring attempt and has to read it two or three times before he really gets the gist of it.

So, Shiva's going to be a Volunteer Ranger tomorrow?  Well, that doesn't surprise him, really...

A small part of him is...uncomfortable with the idea though, to be honest.  He doesn't dwell on it for now, but...

Heart's message, by contrast, gets a quick, simple response without a whole lot of thought.

Quote:Gotcha.  See ya there.

Time Skip!

When Nathan arrives with Gallade in tow as usual and Emolga on his shoulder, he makes sure to keep a little distance between him and Shiva.  He's definitely...uncomfortable around her, to say the least.  It's hard to say why, though.  Gallade's more stoic and harder to read, though Shiva can probably tell he's thinking about something.  Emolga, however, is the complete opposite as he's chittering happily, enjoying being in Teazel Valley.

When Terra waves, Nathan waves back.

When Heart arrives, Nathan and Gallade perk up a little more.  Nathan indicates to Emolga that he should quiet down a little for now, and the collector has their full attention.  Unlike Shiva and Terra, Nathan doesn't say anything immediately, just listens for the time being as he waits for Heart to start things.
