Original Post

Both pokemon scramble up the tree without much trouble.  Kogeki reaches the top in half the time Kee does, but Kee has a much better instinctual grasp of how to safely climb it.  Once they reach the top, getting down safely on the other side isn't all that hard.  Obstacle cleared!

Past the large tree, Kee and Kogeki find what looks like a small forest on the side of the mountain.  Rocks of varying sizes are scattered all around the ground, with the three largest ones being in the middle of a clearing.  And...

(6) Objective clue!
*sniff sniff*
What's that smell?  Kee's nose twitches as he picks up the scent of something on a breeze blowing through the trees.
*sniff sniff*
It smells sweet...fruity...maybe it's an apple?!

(3) The first objective is on a tile in the downwards direction.
[b](4) The first objective is 4 tiles in that direction.[/b]

With a faint *thump!* Kee lands on the ground by the other side of that laaaarge tree again, looking quite pleased with himself. "Hah, now that worked just fine, didn't it Kogeki?~ Pffff, what's a tree when ya're 'n agile and limber 'Mon yarself, haha!~C'mon, we' better get goin'..."

More trees = a smol forest is met as if they heard Kee's statement! Tall and majestetic three particular rocks are standing right there in the middle of this area also, but unfortunately no smol and adorable Ralts. Nor Apples or a lost and fluffy Stufful, fuuu... That is, UNTIL that sweet alluring scent rudely interrupted Kee sniffing on all of these rocks in the hope of picking up the psychic fairiy's scent.

"Oh hey, K'geki.....~" *lots of sniffing and smelling the air from Kee* "D'ya, by chance, smell that too, this sweet, SWEEEEEET♡ fruity♡ aroma lurkin' all innocently♡ in the air here?~~ It's better nat just me imaginatin' things, it's THERE, I can smell it, I tell ya!!~" He's massively intrigued by it as well by this sensitive sense of smell he now has as a Ziggy. Boi, this opens so many doors that have been locked as a human before!

It's somewhat hard for him too to resist zigzag'ing over in direction of that scent right away, but... "Well, 'smuch as I'd LOOOOVE♡ t'follow this scent, guess we should find Karen first, shouldn't we K'geki? I, uh, better NAT want her runnin' 'nto some hostile wild 'Mon just 'cause, that potential Apple ahead's nat goin' t'run away. I guess. BUT, lemme mark tha wae so I know where this scent came from shall we stop by here by these rocks 'n smol forest 'gain, 'kay?"

Kee will do so by scratching, biting and rubbing his back one of the trees here in the direction the scent came from (meta-wise, downwards) until there are visible claw and biting marks in its bark. That's how Zigzagoon usually mark their territory, but now Kee uses this instinct to create a pointer/signpost.


"Ohhhhh, thank ya for tha flowers!~ (◕‿◕) Whether those 'leading skills' of mine are good ones I dunno, but very glad t'hear ya're trustin' me 'nough to let me lead, haha!~" *cue very toothy and very honest smile for Kogeki*

The direction he wants to go is:
