Within a few minutes, Alex is worn out by the Wooper Party and soaked completely through.

Alex was exhausted. He had fun with the little blue guys. They were contagious with their excitement. He wanted to take them all home and have a pool party every day. He also knew that it was impossible. They probably wanted to stay here. Alex pulled out the ball and said, “Hey, do any of you guys wanna come along with us? We can play like that more if you want. I’ll understand if you don’t though. It looks like you guys have fun here. What do you say?” He holds out the ball to see if any are interested in it?

The Wooper consider it for a bit, but they aren't really seeing many perks to joining you at this time. You're welcome to join them in more play, however.

Alex sighs and says, “Yeah I thought so. Just not my day.” He turns to the rest of the group and says, “Anyone else wanna try? I have an idea, I just need a bit of time. Try talking to them.” Alex starts to look around for certain reed like plants or leaves he can construct into channels. Using his Survival skills and his Medical knowledge, he goes to work hollowing out reeds and wrapping leaves to create channels. He takes some medical tape from his First Aid kit and binds the channels together. He finds some larger leaves to help him finish the project up. The final outcome takes a bit, but Alex manages to construct a makeshift water play land for the Wooper. He sucks the water up through the reed channels to get a flow going, and puts the other end in the pond. With a steady supply of water and the funnel effect going, it self circulates the water up the channel and then rains down across larger leaves to disperse the water in an area. This makeshift water playland won’t hold long, but he wants to see the Wooper happy before saying goodbye.

Yue walks over to one of the Wooper and touches it. "Tag! You're it!" She runs away.

The Wooper sprays Yue with water and gurgles back at her, as if saying 'got you!'. The others warble happily, thinking it great fun.

Hahaha! You got me! Okay, this time for sure!" Yue tags the Wooper again, this time readying herself to dodge the water spray she knows will be coming.

Yue tumbles away.. right into some particularly nice mud that just sucks her feet down, locking her into place to be hosed down. Thankfully the extra water helps her pull her feet out, but now she's even more soaked than before. Fun times are fun though, so it's alright!

"Alright! Let's try that again!" Yue tags Wooper and once again prepares to dodge the incoming spray.

The tagged Wooper takes careful aim and tries to spray Yue again, but she manages to leap aside at the last minute. This back and forth continues until Yue has worn herself out from all the jumping and running.

Alex watched the antics for a bit but soon thinks that they have overstayed their welcome. He did his good deed for the wooper and now he’s off to finish what they started. He gives a slight wave to the little blue guys and wanders off towards one of the last outcroppings of the swamp.

Leon saw Alex started to head off, as he handed his Lantern to Yue "Here so Brooke will be able to see, it Looks like Alex is trying to go ahead without us, I'll walk with him to make sure he doesn't end up getting ambushed. I'll leave some sort of trail so you guys can follow after you're done making friends with these guys" he said motioning to the Wooper before heading after Alex, occasionally tearing a bit off his shirt rucksack, pinning it to a tree branch to make a trail for Yue and Brooke.

Yue looked at the Wooper she was playing with. "Looks like I've got to go now. You're welcome to come with me if you want."Charm check: bliLVBpZ4d6 4d6

After a brief farewell to its friends, the Tag Wooper waddles over to Yue and gurgles happily at her. It's friends/siblings are great fun, but Yue is a new kind of fun!
Wooper is Male, level 11, Adamant, with Poison Point and the Egg Move Double Kick.

Alex stood there for a moment, completely speechless. He had encountered, befriended, and added one of his end goal Pokémon to his team. He held the ball for a moment and then finally let out a sigh of relief. With that, he turned to the others and just said, “Thank you all. You gave me the moral support, and the means,” he nodded in Brooke’s direction “to acquire a powerful teammate, as well as accomplish a goal I had since joining the guild. With Tropius at my side, I am one step closer to accomplishing a goal I have set for myself. I am going to turn in for a rest so I can be ready for the last bit of exploring. Just yell if something comes.” With that, Alex and Allure return to their tent. Seeing as their watch has ended, Alex closed the flaps in his tent to keep the bugs at bay.

Brooke claps Alex on the shoulder as he heads for his tent. "Anytime. Good work there, I really wasn't lookin' forward to fighting those fellas. I'll take over your watch from here."

With the Bellsprouts thoroughly handled, Leon switched out Puff for Toadstool looking to the others "I'll take the next watch I've had a good amount of rest." he said sitting down looking out into the swamp with his pokemon.

Leon's watch seems mostly uneventful. For a brief moment, Toadstool thinks he sees something scurrying through the underbrush around camp, but it turns out to be nothing. When Leon goes to wake Yue for her turn at watch, he finds mud plastered all over her, and every other sleeper's faces! What the?! How did this happen, not only without him or Toadstool noticing, but nobody else waking either!? Must have been those Froakie from before, as evidenced by the deliberate placing of that same white-ish stuff all over their packs, making it a hassle to open them with that sticky substance all over it.

Hmm. Seems Yue tuned out again. Maybe someone should put her candle away before she inadvertently gets her soul sucked up or...whatever it is that these candle pokemon do to you. Whether or not anyone does this, your group packs up camp and heads for the last location that they have yet to visit. It appears to be a small-ish cave, that was recently occupied, though by what you couldn't say. However, there is a very strange, oppressive aura emanating from the area in and around the cave, which causes Yue to first snap out of whatever funk she was in, and then run away screaming into the Swamp (hopefully back towards town!). Roll Focus to resist whatever it is. (Or chase down Yue, if you can)

Leon watched Yue scamper off back towards town and looked over toward the cave, feeling the oppressive aura caused him to pause reminding him of something. Leon stepped toward it cautiously as he looked off into the darkness of the cave trying to make something out to see if his hypothesis was correct"Lady D'Mara? Is that you? If you're out here searching for Crawdaunt I believe you're searching in the wrong location, the Corphish I found was across the swamp from this spot." he said trying to take some steps closer to get a better look at the interior of the cave.
