Sounds good. Hunting Sawsbuck will take the final Encounter Slot. 

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!

Heart was startle in a strange ancestor of him. He knew almost everyone in the genealogic tree of the ArcHearts, but that one...he think her somewere, but he cant put his finger about where he see her. "Wait, who are you? And what you by powers sleeping in Teazel Valley! I have so many questions-" Then she disappear, leaving Heart with a lot of questions. But Chespin coming and Sawsbuck kinda help him to snap his confuse state. Heart also bow in respect towards Chespin and Sawsbuck. He accept the flower. "Thank you, noble and wise Chespin. There so many questions in my head, but I honor to have such wise Pokemon like on my side. I have meet right now one of my ancestors, and he say some kind of power is sleeping in Teazel Valley and in others areas...I might need your help in the future."

"Also, dont praise me oh wise one. The one who deserve more praise is my Pokemon." Heart turn his back to show all Pokemon who did a hard work: Honchkrow, Ambipom, Caesar and Nidorina, Viktor and Heracross. You guys and girl help me quite a lot. I would never be succeed without your guys help. Nidorina and Honchkrow, you two were amazing in using in sync Moonlight and Haze to disrupt the camouflage of Sawsbuck. You are amazing. Viktor, the way you done to disrupt the flow of earthpower was amazing. You become stronger and stronger since the time you were just a Phantump. I proud of you. Ambipom, Heracross and Caesar, the agility of you two in make block the path of Sawsbuck was awesome neat. You all deserve all the praise of the success of this plan."

Heart then kneel to Chespin. "Do not Chespin. I promise I will be a great trainer. And someday become a great leader too. And I gonna make become a strong Chesnaught one day. Talking about that." Heart then take a quick search in his bag, until he find the Moltres Egg and show to Chespin. "With your wisdom and insight, I know you problably already the power though this Egg. This...its the Egg of a Legendary Pokemon. Moltres to be more specific. I need to make a pyre and burn any certain of "sacred plants" to maintain the Egg: Sandalwood. Cedar. Balsam. Spikenard. Olibanum. Resinwood. Gum. Incense. If nothing else is available sassafras or other common scented plants can be used. Is there any of those plants around here in the forest? Also, mind if I make a quick Pyre to make certain the Egg will be okay?"

Using 6XP to increase my Craft Skill of 1 to 2. Kinda might need to make sure the pyre gonna be okay. Insight+Knowledge+Craft = 8D6
