Spoiler

Manectric's Dex: (5)(1)
Stantler's Dex: (5)(3)(5)

Stantler escapes, but Manectric gets to have a grand old time chasing it through the meadow. He does manage to zap it a few times right before it disappears into the brush.

Survival+Alert: (3)(1)(4)(6)(6)(1)(3) = 3 successes
Duskull will use its own Survival+Stealth: (6)(5)(4)(1)(1)(6) = 3 successes

Terra and Genie don't catch up with Duskull, but they do find a Drowzee unconscious in one direction, SW. That way leads toward a spur of the Great Divide. With Terra's high Survival, he can be pretty confident Duskull was the perpetrator of this hunt.

"Genie, Melly, the Big Hunt is over. Now, we hunt Duskull. Move out."

Saying that with utmost gravity and finality, Terra and his Pokémon set out to find their newest partner. Come hell's peak and craggy doom, he would NOT let his Duskull escape him and his command without a damning amount of effort.

You come to Hell's Peak.

Manectric gets there first, thanks to Quick Attack letting him travel much faster than Terra's normal trained speed. Once he arrives at the mountainous region, however, Genie makes better time.

Duskull has chosen a worrisome stretch of this single mountainous ridge. He's found the part where sharp stones jut up dangerously, many spiderwebbed with cracks or otherwise unstable. 

Unfortunately, Duskull moves very slowly in the daylight, and Terra has a theory that he'll try to stick to the darkest shadows among the rocks.

Survival+Alert: (3)(1)(1)(6)(6)(6)(3) +1 for aerial = 3 successes
Sneak: (4)(2)(6)(1)(4)(4) = 4 successes


Terra doesn't lay eyes on Duskull, but he determines a great place with a vast overhanging spire. It's very dark and even a little chillier under this spire - perfect for a ghost. It's very stable, at least - your Ground type agrees.

But when get within, you hear a chuckle in the distance, and four Scraggy step out to block your way forward. Looks like you're going to have to burn an Encounter with these guys before you can renew pursuit.
