There were very few pokemon that lars wanted to lay his hands on right now and this meant that he either needed to be keeping a very close eye on the right booklets and flyers all over the place for breedings or he needed to wander out in to the middle of no where and hope. Truth be told, he still had all those little envelopes with their "inciting" herbs or whatever it was inside them so he figured, why not try this? With 6 of his pokemon who needed the most work with him, he walked with Starlight beside him through the jungle as it seemed to make her pretty happy merely to be in and he knew with a larger pokemon beside him he was a little better protected from pure idiot pokemon out there. At the same time, he didnt have clearly strong pokemon with him for show so maybe he could attract in something which didnt know better. Burning another 5 rare spawns in this thread!

Lawrence Moone Though the Stillwood Jungle was indeed a lush environment with plenty to be found within its borders, there was still no guarantee that Lawrence would be getting precisely what he wanted. That was true for just about any environment, but for a diverse place like Stillwood Jungle, it went without saying. Fortunately for Lawrence, though, the fact that he had his "special" envelopes with him meant that the odds of finding something interesting or that he specifically wanted would increase drastically. He just had to do his best to capitalize on the rare encounters they would provide him with, and he'd be golden. That being said, as the first of these envelopes began to permeate the cramped yet oddly still jungle environment around both Starlight and himself, something nearby began to happen. A loud, fearful shriek made itself known, being clearly audible from not all too far away. It was as if one of the jungle's residents was in mortal danger and, based on the sound of rustling that soon accompanied it, wanted to escape as quickly as possible. As the sound of this rustling became distant enough that it began to fade, a low, gruff voice began quietly chuckling to itself, barely audible above the din of the jungle. Whatever this voice entailed for Lawrence remained to be seen, but one would be safe in assuming that moving towards the source of the commotion would aid greatly in assessing what'd just happened.

Lars had slipped all of the little envelopes he had in to one pocket and was about to ask starlight more about them when something sounded out, making the man pause and listen, head twitching from side to side as he tried to place it before he looked to the psychic type. "As far as they know, we are here to help" he told her, the female smiling softly before she turned and began to trot in the direction of the sound. Following after his pokemon, he allowed her to take the lead, ears straining to trace the rustling he could now hear. Was that a big pokemon or a fast one? He couldnt make much out from sound alone but all the same, the dashing hero rushing in to save the day was an easy story to tell, as was the thief coming across someone unable to do much but struggle.

Lawrence Moone While it was still up in the air as to what exactly had just transpired - from Lawrence and Starlight's perspective, anyway - it seemed fair enough to assume that something rather frightening and/or dangerous was involved somehow. With that in mind, if one were to try to capitalize on the situation, going after the one that was running away rather than the one that scared them off wasn't a bad idea. Following the sound of rustling would also allow Lawrence and Starlight to gain a better idea of what they'd heard cry out just seconds prior. Looking down at the damp earth below, one could see there were no clear indentations in the ground, even in spots where, based on the disturbed foliage, one would expect the fleeing creature to have tread. Perhaps the creature in question was a very light and dainty Pokemon, or one that didn't have feet? Well, no matter what the case was, the lack of a footprint trail didn't make the fleeing creature any easier to track, especially as the sounds of the commotion would only become further and further away the more Lawrence and Starlight attempted to follow it. All that being said, no matter what Lawrence and company would attempt to do, it would soon become apparent that tracking the scared creature was going to be easier said than done, especially as something unexpected would rear its head. After a short while, a short figure would quite literally jump out from behind a dense cluster of trees and block the way. It looked to be some sort of yellowish, bipedal Pokemon, and as it jumped out, it spoke in a cutesy, rather high-pitched voice. " Hey there! Can I ask where you're going?" A WILD POKEMON HAS APPEARED

His eyes moved over the ground as lars ran, looking for footprints or something at least to go one so he could look a lot more like he knew what had happened and use that upper hand to make his own side of things easier, but there was little to nothing to see. Gritting his teeth as he noted this, the male soon found himself pausing in his movements and making quite the skidding track himself as a pokemon jumped out in front of him. The male steadied himself on his feet as his ponyta, with a lot more grace, corrected herself and looked over the new arrival with narrowed eyes. She knew these pokemon, she hated them for their looks and the fact a few good bites from one would put her out with little effort. All the same, she smiled a warm and freindly smile as it spoke and replied with a voice as light and sweet as the one it was using. "Sounds like someones in trouble near by! We need to help!" she said at first, adding a worried tone to her act as she added the next sentence and lars looked to her and gave a small smile. Notes

Lawrence Moone The unexpected arrival may not have been welcome, but it would initially look as though the Mawile wasn't aware of this in the slightest. All she did was smile happily as she stood directly between the duo and their objective, and her smile would only end up faltering when Starlight spoke of the two needing help.
"Help?" the Mawile asked. "You mean my friend Ross? Oh, he's always like that. You so much as mention ghosts, and he runs for the hills." She stopped for a second to think before correcting herself. "Okay, maybe he doesn't run, but, y'know, same principle. He's just a sissy."
Apparently, the Mawile wasn't all too worried about her friend. Granted, if said friend really was just a coward and wasn't in any real danger, then perhaps she had a reason to be so blase about the commotion that the duo had just overheard. Even still, though, the fact that she wasn't showing any real concern for her friend was, perhaps, a bit odd.
"I guess if he went anywhere, he probably went back to his cave. That's a little ways north of here, I think. Just keep going until you find a cave, and you can talk to him, or whatever you wanted to do!"

Starlight listened as the steel type spoke, her eyes moving over the smaller pokemon as she looked for some sign the female might be lying or something akin to it, but she kept quiet and let her go on. A good thing to know, they could use that if need be if this "Ross" was an issue, but she was meant to be trying to be the helpful hero part so she went on. "Oh? Did something appear and scare them? Or a scary story?" she asked, trotting around the steel type to its other side before she looked left and right and Lars too the chance to move beside the psychic type. "I guess, we'll go check on them and make sure they are ok, we were here for training but this seems important" the female went on, both giving lars an answer to what was coming next as well as what was going on as he had no idea what the fairy type was saying.

Lawrence Moone Observing the Mawile in question, Starlight would very quickly be able to observe the Steel-type's nonchalant attitude towards the encounter with her and Lawrence. While the Ponyta acted concerned regarding Ross, the wild Pokemon looked perfectly happy and content, hands tucked behind her back in a patient manner. " I didn't quite see what happened to him," she said, " but I'm guessing it must've been one of the local Misdreavus...or is it Misdreavuses? Misdreavusi?" The Mawile turned her head away from Starlight as she contemplated the manner, though she quickly shook her head and went back to following the Ponyta's gaze. " Whatever. Point is, those sorts of ghosts are real nasty. They LOVE scaring people, Ross included. Be sure to watch yourself while you're out here if you don't wanna get jumped by one of them." The Fairy-type listened intently after saying this, as Starlight expressed an interest in going to help Ross. Hearing this seemingly gave the Mawile an idea, as she quickly interjected with a simple request. " Oh! If you're gonna do that..." She paused as she produced a small blue object and held it in front of her. " Would you two mind taking this oran berry to him? It's his favorite. Should perk him right up."

Even lars could see that this pokemon didnt seem to care about them, or meeting them at least, it seemed. Starlight for her part was a little offended by this but she pushed the thought away, remembering her cover and taking in a small breath before listening as the other fairy type spoke. She took the females words in, making note to keep an eye out and for her, a little bit of a sense check but as she turned to look to her trainer, she found him beginning to already walk away. She was no errand girl, but also, she needed to sell the helpful trainer and pokemon bit so she leaned down to take the berry offered before she turned her head. She couldnt ask now, mouth full and what not, but she was assuming where the steel type had shown before was the right path and so she trotted down it, nudging lars with her side a bit to correct him on to the path as she tried to keep a level head.

Lawrence Moone While Starlight's efforts to play along with the Mawile and her apparent disinterest in the situation Starlight and her trainer were involved in seemed to keep the wild Pokemon perfectly content, Lars's lack of involvement actually drew her attention. As the Mawile held out the oran berry, she noticed that the man was already wandering away, presumably to follow after her terrified friend. This caused her to tear her attention away from Starlight for a brief moment, clearly confused. " Oh," she said. " You're going already?" As she asked that, she noticed that Starlight was in the process of taking the oran berry from her, which really drew her attention for some reason. Perhaps she wasn't expecting Starlight to put it in her mouth? Well, in Starlight's defense, it wasn't like there were many other ways she could keep it on her person. Still, soon after doing so, it would become apparent that something was off about the oran berry she'd been given. Sure, it'd looked fairly normal, but that didn't change the fact that it didn't feel like a regular oran berry at all. It felt more like Starlight had a pebble in her mouth than a berry. Just as conspicuous at that, if not more so, was the fact that the Mawile was still looking at her, and as she did so, she was clearly trying to hold back laughter. That was, until she failed to do so. " Hahahaha!" she laughed. " Ahahahaha!" Something was definitely off about her laugh. It wasn't in the cutesy voice she'd been speaking in prior. Rather, it was in an oddly deep and scratchy voice that was completely antithetical to her previous speaking voice. In fact, if the two of them considered the odd change in voice, they could very easily come to the conclusion that they'd heard a laugh quite similar to hers just a short while ago.

Oh this blew. Starlight was not a "battling" pokemon, she was pretty and she was graceful and that was what helped her sell her part in the stories lars told. She was able to show how she was a female and always should have been, it was clear in who she was and how she was and she made it pretty much all of who she was these days to sell it better. All the same, this was no frigging berry even if she wasnt one to eat them and had her proper food. The laughter from the steel type rippled out over her skin and the psychic type was very ready to turn and boot the other female in the face, or faces in this case since she had two back legs, but she fought it as lars turned around and looked questioningly at her. She took a breath through the berry, forced a smile, and nodded. "Indeed, you said it was this way.....unless...you were...." she replied, her voice sticking to its part before she allowed it to wobble and sound a little more upset as she went on. Notes

As if the wild Mawile's behavior wasn't odd enough, it became very apparent that the fairy wasn't quite as she seemed on the surface. Besides her odd disposition, not to mention the fact that she'd given Starlight something that seemed a hell of a lot more like a small stone than a berry, she ostensibly decided to drop the voice she'd been speaking with in exchange for a much more deep and gravelly one that, frankly, didn't sound like something one would expect to hear out of something so small and cutesy. Suffice to say, the act had been dropped, and despite how upset Starlight seemed to be, the Mawile only seemed more amused.
"Ha!" she laughed. "Oh, man, this might not've gone the way I wanted, but y'know what? That was a nice change of pace! Normally, y'know, I'd just offer something to someone, then chomp my big mouth next to their hand or whatever to scare them. Chumps like Ross fall for that shtick all the damn time, but you? You actually took it! You put it in your mouth! What a riot!"
Well, now it was clear just what she'd originally intended. Apparently, by chance, Starlight had dodged a bullet there, but she was still getting laughed at all the same. At least the deep-voiced fairy's "friend" Ross was supposedly a real person, something which was only further supported by what she said next.
"You can head in that direction if you want," she said, gesturing towards where she'd pointed the pair before. "Just keep going north and you'll find Ross eventually. You can't miss that big-headed bozo. Oh, and you can give back that thing now. It's not a berry, it's just a rock I painted blue. Pretty good likeness, huh? Sure fooled you."

She was a good pokemon. She was a pokemon who helped. She was a pokemon who was calm and graceful. Again and again these thoughts rushed through the mind of the ponyta as she tried to focus herself, keep herself calm. She was going to get hurt if she hit this thing, it could hit her harder right back if she dared. All the same, as it went on, Lars noticed he was not being followed and began to come back, Starlight was beginning to glow all over in the effort of keeping her horn from glowing and she was fighting every part of which wanted to hit this thing. Then her mind caught up, she grinned, and her tail twisted around itself in a flick of pink and blue. Lars was well aware of what this meant, he had taught Starlight more hidden messages than anyone on his team beside maybe Grave because of the acts they had to do together so he took this to meant a few things. Firstly, they were staying put, secondly, the ponyta had a plan in place and finally, this nasty looking thing was going down. "Well, good to know, little cruel of you but thank you all the same, for such a waaarrmmm welcome" the female replied, the one word becoming a purr and while lars could not understand the steel type, he knew his cue. Hand lowering to his belt as starlight lowered her head, then flicked it up and spat the stone in the direction of the fairy type and tried to hit it with its own stupid joke, lars hissed commands to the pokeball he now held and then threw it down. In the next moment, Starlight twisted back, covering her trainer with her body as the slanted head of their torchic lifted itself up, growled loudly and then spat a series of white hot embers towards their prankster problem. 170/170 - Level Stats

Given how much the Mawile was doing to get under the two's skin, them lashing out at her was, perhaps, a foregone conclusion. Whether or not she was aware of this, she didn't look all too bothered at first. Clearly, they were going to have some kind of response to her behavior, weren't they? Well, to start, the angered Ponyta opted to return the Mawile's property in the most direct manner possible, actually spitting it in her direction. The Fairy-type didn't look bothered at all by this, even reaching out to grab it mid-flight, but unfortunately for her, that wasn't all the two had planned. As Kossix entered the fray, the Mawile only had enough time to glance over at Lawrence and company before being met with a harsh growl that was apparently even more grating for her to listen to than her own voice. Immediately following this was the first attack, which fulfilled its purpose by sending the overly-confident trickster staggering backwards. " You little-!" she hissed, giving the Torchic a nasty look. " You think you can beat me when you don't even have arms?!" With that, she dashed forward, winding up the mouth hanging off her head to give the little chicklet a good smack. Growl and Ember hit! (kN31zcID)

Kossix may have been fresh to this situation, but he was not new to battling. This meaning as his attacks both worked, the male gave a smug little grin and ruffled his feathers out a little more before the fairy type taunted him and he gave a small annoyed cheep. "Hows it going to look when you lose, with arms and 2 ugly faces" the male snapped back, totally forgetting this was when he was meant to be using one more himself in the process. He was able to step back, rolling away from the female as she came for him since he was sure she would try to put him down in her first move, most did. Only Lars had trained him better, and so, he continued on the path he had been trained on and he knew, worked out. He didnt like it, he wanted to make as big a blaze as possible at the beginning and end fast, but he had to admit the humans approach did tend to work well. As such, the small pokemon began to turn on the spot, spinning in place and letting out a wheel of embers around himself to force the fairy type away from him, unless she wanted to risk being hit again. 170/170 - Level Stats
