Even in the dark, Genki quickly located and clambered up one of the trees. As he did so, he noticed that on the trunk there were small motes of light- gently glinting spores, getting dimmer as he ascended. They were sticking to his hands because of the moisture and pressure of his activity and climb. .

"I'll help." Cole says. "Genki will be fine, even if he falls. He's hard to keep down... Literally, sometimes."
Cole moves to assist Aiden with his breakdown of the campsite, occasionally looking this way and that for any hint of what might be going on. Spore and sleep he could understand, but the shadowy Pokemon that assaulted his brother and companion? That was something different.
"I tried. I'm normally more in tune with Pokemon than most." Cole shakes his head, clearly upset. "That is not intended to be a boast. I understand Pokemon, but it seems to be at the cost of understanding people. I'm at a loss with them all the time, but this is the first time I've been at such a loss with Pokemon."

"It's okay, Cole. We'll figure it out. Maybe, because we were asleep, it made it more difficult to communicate with them. We will just have to be more careful going forward and, if we do meet that large, shadowy Pokémon again... we might be able to communicate a little better with it?"
Aiden noticed that being unable to communicate with the Pokémon in the dreams bothered Cole and he gently said, "That's a unique talent. Not many people are so in tune with Pokémon that they can do that. I can understand motivations and the like, but I come towards it from a medical point of view. To be so in touch with one's intuition to read and, in some way, communicate with Pokémon on a higher level is amazing."

Genki was used to getting dirty, it was a constant irritation to his mother who had been responsible for most of his wash. What was more troubling was when he would rip his garments and need new clothes, he tried at time to fix them, but it never looked right, or consisted of a miscolored patch. Mother didn't like seeing her son looking like a vagabond, so eventually he would get new things, even if that meant second hand.
Genki kept climbing, intrigued by the irridecent moss for a moment, then moved past it, as it was not the weirdest thing he had seen today. Once he made it to a good vantage point, Genki found a study crook to sit in. He called of Cyrus the Seawaddle and sat taking in in. He looked about to for the lay of the land, "what do you make of all this, pal?"

As Genki reached a point in the tree where he could sit and look, he realised that, at night, a thick forest looks most like a strange, uneven blanket of pointy triangular shapes, mostly indistinct. If there was anything to see, then likely it would be concealed by the trees, as well as the darkness at the mid-point of the night. There wasn't anything that directly stood out for him currently- though perhaps if he looked again during the daytime he might see something mroe impressive or noticeable.

"See anything up there, Genki?" called Aiden while continuing to pack up the camp with the help of Cole.

"Trees mostly, and... more trees," he called down, "maybe in the morning."
Cyrus chuffed and took a suicide dive out of the tree. Moonlight glinted of a wisp of silk, revealing he had implemented his threaded capability to safely lower himself to the ground. Genki followed, sure not to disturb Cyrus' decent. Plopping back to earth, he dusted himself off, as his tummy grumbled. "We got anything to eat?"

"I have some energy bars, some trail mix, and some jerky..." Aiden pulls out a pack of jerky and tosses it to Genki. "Hungry, Cole? We were going to try and find something more fulfilling when it was light out." Finishing the packing, Aiden rests against a tree for a moment. "I would have packed more, but forgot to restock before we left town."

Unwrapping the bar and taking a bite, "thanks, I'm sure we can restock soon. Let's try and get some sleep, get our bearings in the morning."
Genki unrolls his sleeping bag, then gathers up some wood. "Could Kiba-?" he gestures to the wood.
Releasing all of his pokemon, "go ahead strech your legs, but don't wander too far. We are going to head out in the morning."
Minor seemed to wander off and sulk by a tree kicking at the dirt. Approaching, Genki tried to comfort hi Teddursa. "You still miss your mom huh? Well, you're part of the team now, a new family, and we've got adventures ahead of us." Minor was unconvinced, letting out a whimper, "it's OK, I miss my mom too. She is very far away, but i know she still loves me and hopes the best for me, part of that was meeting you." Minor quits pawing at the dirt, seemingly considering what he was saying, when Genki held out a hand, she (reluctantly at first) drew closer for an embrace.

Nodding to Kiba, Aiden set out his sleeping bag while Kiba used Ember on the wood so that they could have some heat for a while. Releasing his others Pokémon, "Okay, everyone stay in the clearing, but meet some of our new friends." Aiden will take a note from Genki and talk to Major. "How are you doing, Major? Feeling any better?" Major sits on the ground and crosses his arms before glaring at Aiden, "I understand you're angry with us, I apologize. I hope we can become friends."
Aiden will setting his sleeping bag next to Major and sit on the ground next to the grumpy little Pokémon and holds out his hand for Major to sniff and get used to.

As they settled down in the dark forest and began to try and bond, especially with their new companions, the trainers realised just how far into the depths of the night they were, there was little light and a chill in the air, one that was only to be expected in a forest like this, though it did seem somewhat strange considering this island was so warm only a short distance away. It also seemed that their teddiursa were still quite reluctant to actually bond with their trainers any further, especially as this was likely still land that they recognised or at least had an inkling was close to home. Of course, they perhaps had a bigger problem- lack of supplies on an idlans that was without any real supply drops!

"Genki, I don't think we're going to last long out here if we push towards the mountain. Either we need to go back to town to try and get some supplies, or work on foraging before tackling that mountain..." Aiden looked at all of their Pokémon and then to the other two trainers; between them all, there wasn't enough food for all of them. "I'm not sure if there will be supplies in town, though." Aiden holds Hope close as she shivers slightly.
"All right guys, everyone back in your balls. It's too cold and I don't want you all to get sick..." returning the non-furred Pokémon to their after giving each of them a gentle hug. Aiden will softly pet Major with a soft smile, "I hope we can be friends someday, Major. We will talk more in the morning, okay?"
Unzipping his sleeping bag, he will drape it around himself as a blanket, "Why don't you both try to get some sleep again? I will alert you before any Pokémon get as close as last time." Kiba trots over to Aiden and curls up with his trainer underneath the blanket, lending a bit more warmth to Aiden. "Are we doing watches again? I'll take the first watch so you can both get some sleep. If I can be woke up at dawn to do some training with my Pokémon."

Aiden settled down for first watch. Before he knew it, before they all knew it, it was morning- the bright sunlight streaming through the trees and waking each of them with the early brightness- apparently, though this part was cool, the whole island was actually still essentially tropical. All around the clearing they could see mushroom caps- large enough to be the things that they had encountered last night, though now they weren't glowing or shining.

Waking when the light starts to come through the trees, Aiden snaps awake with a gasp. "I fell asleep?" Noticing the larger mushroom caps around them, Aiden looks at the sky to make sure it's not like their dreams from their previous encounters with the strange mushrooms. "Guys, it's morning... wake up." He will start by poking Cole then Genki gently.

"humm?" Genki stirred. It was comforting to feel the warmth of the sun creep back over the horizon. Sitting up, he tusseled his hair and spot checked for eye crusties. As he was lacing up his shoes, "With the light, I might be able to get a better view of our surroundings. I just need a second to wake up."
Standing, he proceeded to flex and test all his moveable parts. There was a kink in his nexk, that happened from sleeping outside, but tipicaly works itself out. Striding to the base of the same tree as yesterday, "elevator to the pent house."

Genki clambered back up the tree, a much easier job than in the middle of the night, now he could begin to see the wide tree canopy, the mountains far to the north, and the river running from the west and towards the mountains (at least that was what it appeared to be, though he knew that in reality the water was running from the mountain to the river. Both looked quite far away, though they had made good progress towards the mountains.

"Well, what do you think, Genki?" calls Aiden as he pokes at one of the mushrooms gently with a finger. Leaning a little closer, "I don't know if you are or were some of the Pokémon we saw last night. But thank you for letting us go." Standing up slowly, he wobbled slightly. He was a bit hungry and they were going to need to find food fast or they'd start to have some problem.
"Genki, you don't happen to see any trees that might have fruit or something on them, do you?"

Calling back down to Aiden, "well, fresh water shouldn't be a problem, we've made decent progress towards the mountain." Aiden mentioned food, and Genki was sure they were all hungry. Fruit, fruit, who's got the fruit? Genki scanned the trees for signs of something to eat.

Returning to the ground with a thump, Genki dusted off his hands determined to take a look around locally as well, "let's see what we can find."

Genki searched up in the tree and gathered a smll number of what might be nuts or other seeds- enough to make a sustaining if not tasty meal. On the ground he was less lucky, but he did find a few plants that might imbue a bit of flavour into any meal that they made as well as a little nutrition- it seemed that this sort of forest wasn't particularly conducive to this sort of foraging- at least not here.

"What's your verdict? Head towards the mountain? Or towards warmer weather to try and find some fruits and veggies, there might be some berries closer to the river. Without food or supplements, we won't last long on the mountain..." said Aiden for a moment.
