"Oh, I think their recent actions, including handing you what seems to be their own 'homespun' badge does seem to suggest that they are encouraging that behaviour- in a regulated way of course." the Doctor replied to Aiden's response.
Kiba spent a moment reconnecting with his trainer, then approached the somewhat apprehensive caterpie giving several deep sniffs, a lick and then a cursory, all-round, inspection.
Genki was sorting out his team as Dash flew back in, though covered in some webbing, she seemed little worse for wear for the whole experience.

"OK, team what's next? We spent plenty enough time lying down," referring to their webbed state, "it's time to get back to it. Dash isn't up for much fighting, good thing we're friends with the bugs now."
Genki inspects the badge, he didn't have a badge case to put it in; not expecting to encounter gyms of the traditional sort on this island. Instead, he fixed it to his coat, displaying it with pride.
"Base came is always an option, but there is still so muck of this island to see."

"Let's leave the forest and see what we can get into next?" he recalls Kiba to his Pokeball, before taking out a Pokeball and holding it in front of Caterpie. "This will keep you safe while we travel. It means that while you are with me you are my friend and safe." He lets Caterpie choose to go in herself. Once Caterpie goes into the ball, he will watch his companions. "So, which way next?"

"I could go for some sunlight, all this time under tree cover is enough for a while," seeing all the bugs around him, "uh, no offense."
Turning to his brother, "What do you think Cole?"

Cole knelt and pulled Rue to him with his free hand, now two Pokemon in each arm. "You did good Rue, I'm proud of you." he assured the small Ralts, grateful to see her unharmed.
Thereafter, Cole stood staring into middle distance as his mind churned out name ideas for Venonat. Something to befit its piercing gaze, something noble and- "-What do you think Cole?"
"Hum-Wha, oh, me?" Cole jerked out of his reverie. "I'd say we explore more. Dire circumstances overcome, we seem to be in alright shape to carry on. If you wish to leave the forest, wasn't there a request about mapping a way through them to the mountains? We could try that, once we re-orient ourselves."

"That's a good point. We got carried a ways... not sure where we even are."

Genki looked around, his eyes searching for any clues as to where they were. After a few moments he noticed the faint glimmer of light coming through the trees- it seemed that though they had been carried, they were still within the small grove of trees, just somewhat closer to the centre of it rather than the exit.

With all of his pokemon sured up, Genki was relieved to see the light breaking through the trees. He took a moment to spot check himself for any errant bits of webbing; picking a few off and vigorously flinging them off his fingers. He opted to leave Cyrus the Sewaddle out as they traveled through the woods, sort of as a good will ambassador in these parts. "This way gang," pointing to the sunlight and vitamin D he craved.
While walking, Genki kept an eye out for anything that might be worth picking up. He also thought back to their first encounter with the bugs, and the creature webbed up like he was. Perhaps that pokemon (or person) faired worse than he had, but he wasn't feeling emboldened enough to ask.

Following behind Genki, Aiden follows the younger trainer, keeping his senses open while they traveled through the thicket of trees. He didn't want to stumble into a trap or find another angry Pokemon. "Well, that could have gone smoother, but I believe that is a good challenge for people who are on the island. Not that anyone would believe us.."

Cole withdraws a pokeball and pauses in consideration of explaining the process to Venonat. With respect to the Pokemon's laconic nature, Cole instead taps it unceremoniously on the forehead and pockets the ball. He recalls Rue into hers much the same.
"Good, their disbelief will make the trial all the more potent. It would not do to have such a momentous occasion lack a sense of awestruck wonder. Cole muses. "Perhaps, if we can establish a close enough partnership, we could ask the Queen to be deliberately more frightening than her intentions would suggest. Truly test the mettle of prospective island explorers. A pageant of terror, a clash of wills, a test of the true trainer spirit! My heart races at the thought!"

As they wandered back into teh sun, keeping their eyes peeled and chatting, Dr Lotus followed behind them, "More frightening? I'm not sure that that's a completely sensible idea. I mean, you got the message, but what happens if some gung-ho trainer doesn't because they are so scared and then they cause serious harm to The Colony- something that we can't fix or heal? I think that the level they used was probably about right, rather than terrifying innocent trainers. Wouldn't you agree?" she asked as she followed behind them.

"We made it out OK, so I guess it's all right. It was scary sure, but no real harm came to us. We didn't see any outright use are harmful force either. They basicly used supression, trying to figure out what we, and our intensions are."
As he spoke, Genki delibritly took the hard path, hopping onto a rock, leaping from rock, to stump, to protruding root. when a low hanging branch would present itself, he would swing from it. It was almos a game to him, it was no parcor, but he enjoyed it.

"We also can't guarantee that each group going out will respond the same way we did once we figured out what was going on. I admit, I was panicking at first, I don't do well in tight, enclosed places like that..." says Aiden as he walks carefully, to avoid tripping on any roots or webbing and watching Genki leaping from object to object. "I wonder if there are any other colonies like this on the island. It would be interesting to see. So, once out of the forest, which way do you guys wanna go?"

"Hmm, true." Cole mused. "So long as the colony treats new challengers the "Tight and dark spaces are my most comfortable. I'm sorry you had such an ordeal." Cole frowned to Aiden. "As for what to do, I am still interested in trekking through unknown woods and forging a path... but maybe we should stick to something more spacious for today."

"A forest is fine, caverns also work well to a degree, at a certain point I start to get panicky..." Aiden shrugs, "Traveling through the woods sounds nice. Might even find some new berries or see if the berries we are used to grow here as well."

As they emerged from the further side of the small copse, they could see that the plains stretched ahead of them for at least another few hundred metres, though the dark tops of trees as well as a more open, marshy space seemed to be lingering on the different horizons. The trees fringing the bottom of the mountain ranges, whilst the marshland seemed to be much closer to the sea that was surrounding the island.

"Well, here you go Cole, Mountains and Marshes. Mountains could have caves, and Marshes are probably more open." Holding his arms out and turning, "we've got it all her on Neo Island!"
"I'd vote mountains, but I could be easily swayed."

"If we head for the mountains, we could probably get a better view of the island. It would be a great place to put one of the teleportation pads too," says Aiden glancing at Genki with a nod. "I can cope with being in a cave as long as I'm not alone."

"Well, just so long as you remember, we will still need power sources." Dr Lotus said, looking around the area and at the mountains that loomed far away, beyond the forest.

"Did we think of wind to help power the device? Or even solar energy? On the mountain I think there would be a good mix of both... plus, who knows what kind of Pokemon we could find on the mountain!" Aiden's enthusiasm seems almost boundless now that they are out of the cocoons. "This place is amazing, I am so happy I came out here. What about you guys?" Turning his attention to Cole and Genki.
