"Hmm?" Em's humming paused abruptly as though she hadn't really been admiring her surroundings so much as minding the tune that she was stuck on. "Oh, I'll help if you want Muku, I don't mind." She offered cheerfully. Kursz looked up at the bug the smaller girl pointed out and his eyes grew big as saucers, and he slid behind the nearest cover and pressed his back against a tree. "J-Just don't make it angry okay? It's really big..."

"Silly Kursz, getting angry is a part of the fun of battling!" Muku chirps. Her eyes glaze over dreamily as feathers fill the air. Violent birds, pecking and pecking, snatching creatures mid flight and taking them down to the ground before devouring the prey.
Kiii!! It was all so fun~!
Wind rustles through Muku's hair and she jumps back and forth on the balls of her feet. "Ooh! I'm getting pumped! I'm getting pumped! Follow my lead Em! Kihihhiyaaaaa!!!"
And lo! All at once, Muku takes off in a dead sprint towards the bug tree, launching a truly terrifying Splash attack against it!

"Huh?" Thel asks, at Omega's comment about pack-growing, "I never said anything about going after..." He trails off as he realizes that everyone else has already run (or slunk) off in one direction or another. "I guess that's what we're doing, then..." he mutters. Sighing internally, though berating himself for sighing, he looks around for a way to get up to those caves. If they're going to go exploring and whatnot... well, might as well whet his curiosity on those caves.

Omega watched as Muku charged at the bug "Alright, if those three are going to get the tree dweller, I shall come with you to the caves. It isn't safe to be alone" Besides, if the something big and furry in the caves was powerful...well maybe he would make it join his pack instead of the rock snake
"What was it you saw in them" He says gesturing at the caves as he followed Thel "I saw only the rock snake."
Once the terrain began to become more rocky, Omegas steps became far less confident and he seemed to struggle to find his footing a bit more, being far less at home in mountains and caves then Thel was.

Oh, good. Of course Omega was coming with him. Figures. "If I knew," Thel says, "I would have said. Do I look like an expert on things?"

There was a dull thud as Muku impacted the tree, the bug high above her turning its head to look at what was shaking the meal it had picked for the day. "Heracrrr?" It asked in a breathy tone, fluttering the heavy shell over a pair of wings.
(Athletics or Acrobatics to climb for Muku.)
Thel is easily able to navigate the steep incline to the first of the series of caves where he had spotted the odd creature. The path looks much smaller from up here, but it has a sort of homey appeal to it. The light dims substantially not far into the cave.
(Perception from Omega and Thel.)

Clambering over rocks is... familiar, but different. He's used to being low to the ground, slithering around boulders and through cracks. Not being as large as them and having to hoist himself up. But, it's not too difficult. And satisfying to get up to the top. Peering into the cave... it looks like it'd be a decent place to rest. He tries his best to see if he can spot the Pokémon from before, or anything else interesting, but... man are humans bad at seeing in the dark. He's used to having better small and sight to see into the darker places. Maybe this isn't the best idea... Perception: 9

Muku latches onto the tree with perhaps, surprising skill. It certainly did surprise her at least, and while having no real experience to climb or attempt to climb in the past, it suddenly seemed... Natural? She didn't really understand it, and right now she didn't want to try to understand it. Understanding things made her angry and stressed, and that was never fun. So instead she was going to climb up this tree, or die trying! 14 for Acrobatics!

Omega just growled under his breath as Thel responded with his usual derision. The once lizard had no respect for anything that wasn't a female, though one day Omega would change that. He haphazardly climbed the rocks, the ground feeling far less sturdy than he would like, and the rough stone being far less pleasant than the soft loam of a forest. Once he made it to the top, he was confused. He looked into the cave mouth but eventually it just went dark....Do...do his eyes not work anymore. Blinking a few times, he tried to see what he could, even with broken eyes. Perception of 5

Muku scales the tree until she is immediately behind the enormous beetle, who watches her intently with its large yellow eyes. Its thoughts of food have gone, but neither party is in any real position to be combative in this way, even the nearby branches would require most of the girl's limbs to remain against the tree.
Thel spots the telltale red eyes and a hint of the stark white fur towards the back corner of this cave, but Omega's vision struggles with the low light in a way he isn't used to.

Thel isn't used to interactions like this. Usually, other Pokémon are hunt or be hunted. But... he's a human now. Things are different. He has to accept this. Though, he's not quite sure what to do in this regard. So he crouches down to get more to the Pokémon's level, and addresses the corner. "Hello, there. I don't mean any harm. I just saw you in here, and wondered about it. It's indeed a nice cave. I would have liked to live here, at least until recently."

Muku clutches onto the nearby branches with a snappy vice grip in her hands as she quickly tries to even out her body and spread it over the branch. It's a lot harder than what she was used to. Human bodies weren't really made for perching in the same way Starly were used to perching. But there she was, face to face with a Heracross. It wasn't going to be easy to fight up here though. She could maybe, MAYBE grab a Pokéball and chuck it at it, but she was fairly hesitant to let any of her hands leave the branch. No. It wasn't going to be easy. Battling proper was going to be almost impossible. They both needed to be on the ground for that. "Hey. Hey! Muku wants to fight you. There is a big rock thing, and Muku hates big rock things, so Muku wants to capture you as a trainer so that Muku has a Pokémon that isn't Mmip to fight, because Mmip is small, but really cute, OH she's so cute and TASTY! I love her so much, but I think I'm getting away from the point because it would almost be impossible to fight you up here and I think that if I tried to use any bird moves that I would probably end up hurting you and me more than I ought to, so I'm willing to let that all go if you just shimmy on down the tree and meet you on the ground, ok?" She says politely, giving the beetle what would only be described as a predatorial smile. Charm Roll! - 3

Omega frowned as Thel began to talk into the cave, annoyed that the other male was able to see into the dark while he couldn't any longer.
However he stood ready for an attack to come from the darkness. Knowing how his pack would have reacted if something came to the mouth of their den, he knew that it wouldn't be long before the fighting began. Crouching down, he prepared himself to jump into the fray, ready to release his Fang in an instant.

Omega is able to spot the shaggily furred quadruped as it slinks through the darkness, head low. It gives him and his combative stance a wide berth, black nose twitching in Thel's direction as it takes a few steps forward.
(Thel may make a Charm at a -1.)
The Heracross makes a small offended noise at Muku's suggestion. A polite request for a fight?! HOW DARE! It just wasn't done! It pushed off the tree and fluttered its heavy wings, thumping solidly enough to the ground that the tree shakes a little. The entry sends Kursz scrambling up the trail towards the rocksnake. Em watches Muku quietly, not entirely sure how she's supposed to be helping.

Fight time! Fight time! Muku loves the fight time! She doesn't know what she said to make the Heracross so upset, but it was getting into the mood, so it helped her get into the mood too! Air rushing through her hair, she falls down from the tree with style, rolls across the ground, and adopts a quick bouncy sort of stance. With a strangely practiced *whip*, she flings out her Pokéball. "No more words! Muku is in FIGHT MODE! Kiyiyiyiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"Muku at 12! Mmip at 10!

"I suppose you probably don't want me around here," Thel says, idly musing. "It's not something that I really thought about. You're alone in here. That probably means that you want to be alone. I'm not used to that. I live with many siblings. Going home to the lounge, it... is something that makes a day better. So, I guess I was just looking for someone similar. Looking for some company, here in this cave." This isn't the kind of thoughts that he usually has to do. It's usually hunt something, or hide from something. Maybe sometimes gathering others to take down something larger than a bug. 10 Charm, after -1 and AP.

Huh, so Thel could be polite to something instead of just combative or sniveling. It was an interesting side of him to see, to say the least. Omega stood silent and watched, taking this time to look closer at the Pokemon, seeing if he recognized anything about it from his time in the forest. 4 on Pokemon Education to recognize the shaggy Pokemon

The Heracross towers over Mmip, stomping a foot heavily and lowering it's head. It is a titan of the forest! Heracross acts on 10, After Muku. The Absol makes a small noise that almost sounds like a nasal sigh, and proudly has a seat in front of Thel, staring up at him as if to say it isn't afraid. It casts a sideways glance at Omega and gives him a long stare. The profile snags a bit in his memory, seeing such a thing back when he was very small. This was a solitary hunter, it needed no pack, and was generally given a wide berth by even humans. The whys of that aren't immediately forthcoming.

Thel sits in silence for a time, just soaking in everything. These are the simple pleasures in life, ones that he didn't realize that he missed so much. Just sitting around quietly in a den, with the presence of others. Usually it was just mornings and evenings that he had time to do such things, so it's a nice change to be able to do this in the middle of the day. Even if it's a little chilly in here.
He isn't quite sure if the Pokémon dwelling here had reached an understanding, or if it just had decided to not maul him - up close, it looks a lot more like a hunter - but either way, he's thankful. He reaches out with a hand towards the 'mon - with the hand he values less - not touching it, but just seeing what it will do.

Muku splashes in aggressively behind Mmip and holds her position. She wasn't altogether certain how this fight was going to go, but she didn't want to disappoint her partner by not backing her up in a fight! Besides. She would have better luck capturing the bug if she was closer. How close? Probably too close! Muku doesn't know what she's doing with her life!
Muku uses Splash! +2 on Evasion!
