Clenching his spear, readying himself for combat as the water within Bael's palm swirls he turns to Azazel "Then what is it they want with you?"

"Guidance in the forest I guess? It's pretty easy to get lost in there, and there's parts of the groves that really only members of royal families or their staff can get through without getting lost. But again, my retainers should work for that."

"Correct we need a guide, but still I'm really curious as to why the whole cage thing, it's a bit of a hindrance. Would you mind letting me out?" Aritso stayed calm, not seeming bothered by being held captive, it was almost a certainty he could get out on his own if not let out and was only asking out of politeness. The Abra moved near it's owner grabbing his sleeve.

Azazel was tempted to list some rules that he would’ve wanted the boy to follow in agreement to being let free, but azazel was no fool. This kid could clearly get out whwnever he pleased. Negotiations were pointless. So Azazel complied, by running into the barrier until it shattered
”Sorry, I cant just make them go away once I’ve made the barriers. Also, I’m honestly really sorry, but I can’t go with you. Any other time, id LOVE to help out the guild however I can, but it’s just a really inconvenient time for it. But seriously, my retainers would be perfect for this job, I really recommend them. . . . So . . . .are we good here?”

Aristo laughed as he watched the display of Azazel dispelling the barriers, less happy was his smile when Azazel refused to come with. "Ehhh? Really? Is it that contest thing, that seems boring. I mean I get it's" air quotes occur, ""important", but...." He shook his head, "I'd rather this not get physical cause that;s not as fun. Tell ya what, if you can beat Hocus I'll leave for now."

Azazel thought about it for a bit, but not for any serious contemplation. He was really just trying to keep the kids attention while he let inkay sneak into range for a specific move, which azazel signaled by saying,
”I don’t know, you’re guilds pretty strong, I’m unsure how likely it would be that I could realistically beat you. Your abra is probably super strong.. Does it know . . . Hypnosis?”
With that, Azazels inkay used hypnosis, with the hypnotic feature automatically making it hit and putting the boy to sleep. Azazel considered what the right thing was to do from there, and opted to carry the boy on his back. Azazel carries the tiny assassin to Bael
”All right, we ready to go?”

Taken by surprise and shock of the quickness of the boy simply being knocked out Bael's eyes widen. As Azazel brings the other boy over to him asking the question without fear in his eyes of the resting boy who could possibly wake up at any moment "Wh-what do we do with the boy? Are we taking him with us? Is it safe to take him?" Scanning the boy to make sure he was actually asleep, Bael looks slightly conflicted. If we leave him he could just catch back up with us and make a more threatening introduction. If we leave him tied up he could get mauled by a wild Pokemon. If we take him...he could come to and still escape or attack us. I don't want the kid to die but...
In his own thoughts Azazel begins to snap his fingers at Bael to get his attention. "Are we ready to go?" Bael shakes his head as he slips back to reality. His lips purse to one side as one eye squints in thought. "What do you think we should do? If we leave him he could either escape, come after us and attack us, or get killed by a wild." Taking a moment to breathe and pacing back and forth, "Or if we take him he could come to and attack us." Bael notions to Nimue to come to his side. "Either way, it's possible we get attacked...I'd say we carry him with us. Then at least we'd know when he'd attack. Should we tie him up?"

Azazel giggles
”Nah, that likely wouldn’t stop him in any way. It’d just get him more mad at us. Look, the plans simple. We can’t leave him here, he’s could get hurt right? So we take him with us. More importantly, when he comes to, we’ll be so far into the forest he should have no way of figuring out how to get back home, so he wont be able to take me anywhere. After that . . . Well I don’t have any immediate plans. I’m opting to figure it out as we go.”

A pensive look washes over Bael's face, "Yeah, you're right." Bael takes the kid from Azazel's shoulder and throws the boy over his own. "Here, I'll carry him until we make camp." Bael looks to the canopy of trees to look through the holes to tell the approximate time of day. It seems the still have some daylight to spare before needed to make fire and set up camp. "Let's keep our Pokemon out just in case, ok?" Bael whistles as he points forward walking deeper into the forest.
Hmm I guess the Prince has dealt with people like this before. He doesn't seem fazed by this kid..or at least is hiding it pretty well. "So, this group of assassins..what exactly is there schtick?" All the while studying the Prince if he shutters or shows some sense of fear or unease at the mention of the group.

Aristo falls asleep quickly lulling forward as The abra suddenly caught it's drowsy master. A feeling like anger washed out from it through any psychic connections that may be reading it at the time as it and Aristo vanished in a flash of energy.
(teleport, activating Transporter twice)
The clearing the two stand in is quieter now, but with Aristo gone from sight and still no certainty he was alone....

Azazel blinked a few times as the boy disappeared. For a moment, he sat in the silence, processing exactly what just happened. Then came the few deep breaths. Long strong, they pushed heavy amounts of blood through azazel, as his heart pumped faster, and breaths got quicker and quicker. Soon he was hyperventilating. His eyes widened in fears, tears welling up in the corner, then suddenly, he coiled in on himself, and screamed at the top of his lungs. . .
”OH MY GOOOOOOOOD!!! WE ARE SOO F**’KING DEEEEEAAAAAD!!!”
Azazel grabbed Bael by the collar and started shaking him back and forth
”WE JUST DEFIED DEATH THIRTEEN! DEATH THIRTEEN BAEL!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW SERIOUS THIS IS?! THEY DONT EXACTLY JUST FORGIVE PEOPLE FOR ATTACKING THEIR MEMEBRS! I WAS JUST GOING TO TRY AND TALK TO THE KID MORE AFTER HE WOKE UP AND NOW HE’LL BE REPORTING THAT I ATTACKED HIM!! THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO!!!L

Feeling the weight on his shoulder suddenly lighten in an instant he looks over to see that boy had vanished. "Shit, the Abra." Peering off in all directions to see if they may be spotted Bael is interrupted by a frightened and disheveled Azazel grabbing him by his collar.
Seeing the fear run through Azazel's face and his motions Bael tries to quickly take hold of the situation. As the boy has tears run down his face Bael grabs the Prince by the shoulders stopping him from flailing around "Hey, look at me. Look at me. I will not let anyone hurt you, ok?" Pulling the young prince into a warm hug, he strokes the boys hair, patting his back "It's gonna be ok. We can handle whatever comes at us," disengaging the hug Bael puts the boy at arms length looking at the boy with a comforting face, not sure of what is actually to come "we were chosen for this competition for a reason, no? Surely we can handle ourselves."
Getting up from his knees he wipes away the tears streaking down Azazel's face, he doesn't care if the kid is not into others touching him, but be damned how he feels about it. Anyone crying should know that they are opening up enough to be comforted. A warm smile flashes on Bael's face, eyes closing briefly, trying to save face in order to instill confidence in the young prince. He pats his shoulder, "Come, let's still continue forward. I know what just happened is scary and unknown but I promise you that I will protect you with all my power." Bael removes a necklace from around his neck and dangles it in front of Azazel, "This is something given to me by my dear friend," the necklace is simple but clearly only half of another piece, an small symbol is partially engraved but cut of from the split relieves the small smooth stone "I want you to have it to show to you that I mean this. Come on, let's head out." With his hand on the upper back of Azazel he pulls him to as he begins to walk further into the woods.

Azazel was not prepared for this affectionite bearlike deathgrip. Normally when azazel had been grabbed like this, it was due to an attempt to drown him, or his retainers finally cathching up with him during a particularly violent chase in the woods. This was slightly different from those situations. The hug froze Azazel in place. He’d normally protest this sort of of affection, or at least stab the initiator, but something about it brought a genuine comfort to azazel, and not just in terms of feeling better about the whole assassination situation . It felt like azazel had gotten to experience something he never knew he needed before. When Bael pulled away, Azazel was tempted to cling back onto him, but he was still frozen from the experience.
Bael gave azazel a necklace. It was clearly very important to him, based off the design and what he said about it. It was just another example of some sort of newfound affection at action azazel never experienced before. This sort of kindness was so overwhelmingly to the little prince, that he didn’t even snap out of his trance until Bael gave him a gentle nudge forward and the two started walking again. This didn’t fix all of Azazels problems. The stresses and paranoia remained present in his life, but while his mind would normally start jumping to horrifying scenarios of how specific members of death thirteen would exact their revenge, he instead started to feel a small chip of his mountain of fears gently crumble away. The hug had made Azazel feel an emotional relief he had never before. As azazel walked with Baels hand to his back, the boy awkwardly crept closer to a sort of side by side nudge. He still wasn’t sure how to actually ask for a hug yet.
”Um . . . Thank you Bael. Sorry for freaking out.”

Bael's perceptive watch spots no other humans but it does find it's way deeper into the woods. From the trees hang red/pink pods that seem to look down on the approaching trainers, the sweet smell of honey wafting from some trees as the slight buzz of insects echoes through the air.

In response to the nearing trainers one of the shells begins to crack down the middle and glow, wings exploding outward from the rupture as a more adult and dangerous insect begins to emerge.

As the bright light of the Pokemon emerging from its cocoon Bael's hands swiftly fly in front of Azazel shielding him from any danger that may come. His eyes dart back and forth at the cacophony of sounds within the treetops, heart racing in fear of more of these dangerous creatures spawn. Without even a moment of disengaging his sight from the Beedrill Bael "Nimue, go!" Nimue then dashes towards a few meters ahead, tail flapping as she runs, eyes locked at the bee waiting for her chance to strike. "Prince Azazel, ready yourself. It seems we may have some hostile company," with his other hand he twirls his spear from the clasp on his back catching the stave with his other hand. Bael looks to Azazel the most serious he has been thus far on their journey together as he nods then dashes a meter ahead of Azazel in between the Prince and the Beedrill.

Azazel had been long lost in thought up until now. He was ripped back into reality when he suddenly saw Baels hand dart out in front of him. Looking up, azazel saw a wild array of cacoons in various shades of rose. The bee creatures that started to swarm seemed to have put Bael on edge. Normally azazel wouldn’t be too bothered by the mere threat of a monster, (hes found humans to be far more dangerous), but something about his expression worried the prince. Bael was genuinely concerned, and especially over Azazels safety. Now, it makes sense for a retainer to do so, but something about Baels particular passion made azazel wonder about Baels motivations. Why was the man always so concerned and protective? Well, it didn’t matter in the moment, for now, it was time for combat.
Azazel decided to try his hand at fighting on the front lines for a change. He wanted to show Bael his support firsthand. First, azazel tossed out his trusted companion yamask, then took aim at the first bee to make its presence known. Azazel focused on the bee, crushing the gravital space around it, attempting to cripple its wings

As the bee began to glow from the psionic powers of the Prince, Bael saw this as an opportunity to get a hit in at the Beedrill. Being airborne still Bael halted in his steady haste, calling out to his Pokemon "Nimue, help him take that thing down!" Nimue skidded on the ground coming to a screeching halt. Her body tilted back slightly, mouth closing then she snapped her body forward as a steady burst of water propelled from her mouth, pushing her back a few inches from the sheer force.

The newly formed Beedrill turned and was greeted by the attacks as it took them full on. The bug falling to the forest floor in a heap as it left it's old shell behind. The violent outburst towards one of their fellows seemed to ignite something in the other Kakuna as three more began to glow and crack open.

Azazel closes his eyes and manipulated the space in the field once more, this time increasing the strength of the gravity of the forest, effectively grounding the bees.

Bael's knees buckles quickly with the sudden and unexpected shift in gravitational pull but he catches himself quickly before he meets the ground. As the three new Beedrill came crashing down giving them advantage over the avian insects so did the Kakuna in the trees meet the same outcome. As the chrysalises each make a thud on the ground all around Bael he looks around. He begins to think that if the correlation of the sudden evolution of the Pokemon was the fighting or if maybe there was another factor. As he was in thought the loud buzzing of a Beedrill coming at him makes him come to. "Shit," reeling back with his hand as water trickled back with his motion, a small orb of water builds in the palm of his hand. He thrusts his hand forward as the now quivering ball of water hurdling towards one of the Beedrill.
