Alex looks at the little things and says, “They look like green Goomy. I wonder if the Tome knows about them.” With that, he pulls out his time and starts to flip through it.

The Tome's entry reads thusly: Gulpin, the Stomach Pokémon. Gulpin is able to swallow items of its own size whole, as its stomach compresses most of its body. Its unique stomach acid allows it to digest almost anything.

Alex closes the tome and says, “If I didn’t break all my balls, I’d think about taking one. They seem neat, and they don’t look dangerous, but that stomach acid thing concerns me. If they are almost all stomach, I wonder what they could do to some of our little guys. We may wanna be careful here. Anyone with a poison type can fight. Those of you that don’t have one, hang back and support. I have a few antidotes but not many. We have puff and Mauve for a reason, let’s let them be our front line.” Alex pulls out Mauve’s ball and releases the Stunky. Mauve looks around and is glad to be out of the cage. Since they didn’t get a lot of time to know one another, Alex steps up and says, “You may be new to the team buddy, but here’s your chance to shine. We need some resistance up there. Don’t let them get to us back here alright?” Alex just stands ready for the rest of the team to decide who to use or if they even want to engage.
Mauve - 10
Alex - 6

"I can lend you a ball or two, if ya want," Brooke offers. "Reckon I'd better focus on shooting anyway, if we want to get this done quick. I don't have any 'mon who can fight while staying back, except Leaf, and he's a bad match for Poison sorts."

Leon took a few tentative steps towards the creatures wondering how they'd react to his approach "Do you think we could just step over them? They're not even the height of a small fence." he said not wanting to repeat what they did with the Stunfisk and peeve off pokemon minding their own business.

The gulpin take notice of Leon's approach, but, like the Stunfisk, don't seem particularly aggressive right now.

Alex’s face contorted a bit as he was thinking of the worst case scenario. “It’s up to you guys. I’ll follow your lead. I’ll let you know right now though, I’m not a “sneaky” person. If we all try to get by them carefully, I’m not the best at keeping quiet and still. Past that, if we find something even tougher ahead, I’d really like to not be pinched between the two. It’s a group decision though. I couldn’t be out here without you guys.” Though the creatures looked docile, Alex was still convinced that everything in this swamp wanted to eat him. The bigger ones of these probably could.

Leon saw that before remembering their description looking back at Yue "Hey Yue do you have any Cinnamon Buns left?" he asked "Maybe we could keep these guys busy with some food and then head past." he said explaining his idea.

"Yeah, I have plenty. Use as many as you need so long as I don't have to go anywhere near those things..."

"Thanks Yue, hopefully, you won't need to get near them," Leon said taking six cinnamon buns walking over to the Gulpin tossing one to each of them seeing how the little goo piles reacted.

The goo piles pretty much just inhale the entire bun at once. They all turn in unison to Leon, watching him expectantly.

Leon saw this as he slowly broke the 6th bun up into five pieces moving slightly as he did trying to get the group of Gulpin to turn into a vertical line rather than a horizontal one.

They are either onto his tricks and deliberately remaining horizontal, or they just coincidentally happen to remain in that horizontal line.

Leon saw this scratching his head as kept moving until he was just out of reach of the line in the formation they were in before offering out the pieces of the last Cinnamon Bun, making it clear if they wanted it they'd need to come over toward him.

They slowly approach in that same horizontal line. As soon as one grows close to Leon, it yawns cutely at him. Moments later starts to feel drowsy, dropping the pieces of cinnamon bun and plopping into the muck to take a nap while they gobble up all his food. The plus side? They aren't interested in him. Just any food he is carrying. Also, they're out of the way now. Down side? His clothes/bag may not survive the process of them learning what is and isn't food.

Yue hides behind Alex, shivering in fright. If only the scary grape-monster would go away. Suddenly, Yue had another of her brilliant ideas! If the grape-monsters wouldn't go away on their own, she'd *make* them go away. She gets out one of the cinnamon buns and holds over her head. "Hey! You guys want this?!" She yells to get their attention. "Well go get it!" She shouts as she throws it with all her might. Athletics Check: FvhBEvSJ2d6 2d6 |

They turn around when Yue starts shouting, and do take note of the bun she tosses. However, they appear to be just a smidge more clever than expected, as they start to slowly ooze their way towards Yue.

"Here, get away!" Brooke tosses out her Goomy. "Quiver, go an' poke Leon awake. Yue, you better stay back. I don't think we're gettin' past these things without a fight."
She raises her bow, pointing menacingly towards the Gulpin. Meanwhile, Quiver schlorps over and nudges Leon.
(Quiver uses a minimum damage Struggle to wake Leon; 12 physical damage)

Leon was shocked awake by the little goo pile's 'nudge' sitting up in the process a ball fell off his slightly digested belt letting out the flatfish pokemon he'd caught recently.
Leon - 5
Stunfisk - 3

Yue leaves her bag behind Alex-nii-chan and runs over to the right side of the line of Gulpins, sword drawn. She takes a stance and thrusts the black and red blade at the gulpin in front of her, a black beam of energy shooting out from the sword and...
Yue used Resonance Beam!
AC 3 vs 8ziB0AkV1d20
Damage: 2d10+21
...completely misses all of the Gulpin, including the one right in front of her.
Seeing this, Hearth rolls her eyes and targets the Gulpin in front of Yue. She puffs her flame up like she usually does for an Ember attack, but this time she starts spinning it as well.
Heart used Fire Spin on Gulpin #5!
AC 6 vs 1d20
Damage: 2d6+291d20·2d10+21·1d20·2d6+29
