"I see..." Thel says. This 'pyen' seems like a strange concept. So... you get it from doing things, and then you bring it to a building to get different things? Why is there a building that just has all those things in the first place? Why is this 'pyen' so valuable? Maybe those questions will be answered in time.
"Well, thank you for your time, Lady Joy," he says. "I will be out of your way now."
He looks at the others. "So... are we headed to the woods?"

"The woods are fine" Omega was more preoccupied by the idea of this Pyen. If he just kept battling then he could have things. It would be like having other people do the hunting for him! Winning at battles is how he would become an Alpha.
As they left, he just kept going over ideas on how to win against the Kimono Girls in his head, although most of them were just hitting them harder than they could hit him. He still didn't have the fine points of battling down

Nodding, Muku attempts to understand economics in a day, but numbers are scary and confusing, and unless you are counting birds, numbers are stupid. So are commas, but there you go. "We might find food in the woods and that is just as good. While Thel tries to find friends, Muku and Battle Bug will look for little bits of food. Ok? Ok! Let's go!"

Heading south, the weather begins to take a turn towards breezy and overcast, leading to many Pokemon taking cover in the trees to either side of the trail with the growing threat of rain. The signs for Goldenrod are easy enough to follow, but not wanting to go too far from Ecruteak, an hour or so from town you begin your search in earnest. Roll me a perception each, Birdy may also roll a survival to find food.

"Hmm... I'm not a fan of the weather," Thel comments, "I wish the sun would stay. Its warmth is comforting. I don't really like the rain. Maybe we should go back, and come back later..." He knows that won't happen, though. So, he looks around, trying to find something. Preferably not something going to eat him. Perception: 9

"Muku can agree with that." She chirps. "Sun is good, and sun is beautiful. Night gives terrors and owls, and that is both very bad, bad!" Her eyes dart about at the green, leafy trees. It seemed like such a long, long time since she had to look for berries. Long time. So long, that some of her expertise in keeping an eye for predators was not nearly as sharp as it could of been. But, perhaps she could still find some berries yet! Perception: 7 Survival: 9

Omega shrugged " The rain is good for hunting. It flushes things out as they run for cover and makes their tracks easier to find." The boy shivered a little, missing his coat already, but didn't complain. He seemed to be moving more naturally than he had before, finally finding his feet. If anyone was paying attention they would realize he hadn't broken a single twig, or rustled the bushes at all since they entered the forest proper. He was silent as he kept watch on their surroundings. 11 on his Perception, or 13 if the target is far off. Omega also has Naturewalk Forest and the Stealth Capability so he isn't making noise atm

Pidgey beep softly at the rain high in the trees as the search off the beaten path begins. Something yellow a ways further in catches Omega's attention, while Thel happens to be far enough in the lineup to spot an acid green spider with a short horn and banded legs in the lower branches of a nearby maple. Muku, in her hunt for food, and food-like things, only manages to locate some flowers that might be edible and smell quite nice.
On approach of said yellow object, it looks to be some manner of fierce-eyed cocoon Pokemon, with others like it on the surrounding trees. A sweet scent in the air sets bellies to rumbling. There is honey close by!

Hmm? Thel thinks, peering towards the spider. It... seemed to be some sort of bug, but also not as delicious as the last bug he'd seen. Well... not that he should be eating bugs, anymore, he chides himself. Don't think like that.
"Hello?" he calls out to the spider. "Don't worry, I don't want to hurt you, or anything." He really isn't sure how to go about doing this.

Flowers. Flowers were edible? Well maybe. Muku had never tried eating flowers before, but these did smell kind of nice. Which, was odd sensation in itself! She hadn't noticed that she could smell so well until she was smelling something so sweet!
Maybe she would take some with her. The dancing ladies, their dresses seemed to be pretty and flowery in their own weird way, so maybe she could wear one in her head tuf- hair? Yeah, that sounded nice. Her fingers danced across the little patch of flowers until they settled on a particularly yellow and radiant bloom. That one. That one would look nice in her hair!

Omega nodded in satisfaction. He had found the honey....and something even better. He eyed one of the cocoon Pokemon with a hunger in his eyes before disappearing back into the brush, keeping note of the location.
Finding the others, he stepped out while still not making a sound until he spoke "There are bees nearby. I found their cocoons. That means honey. I also want to take one of the cocoons and might need assistance if things go south. I've seen the bees swarm things before, it would be good to have on my side. I've never had a Stinger before, but I'm sure it would help...."

The Spinarak's buggy eyes continue to watch Thel with that degree of unreadable neutrality, before a pained, muffled whimper and some rustling starts up beside the tree it is perched on. Shuffling in place, it turns around and sprays another blast of webbing at the sound, which peters out. It's attention returns to Thel, mandibles working slowly.
Muku receives Decorative Flower Key Item, and Fragrant Flower x2 (Acts as Bait for the next 48 Hours).

Thel winces a little bit at the whimpers of pain. What an awful terrible thing it would be, to be caught like that. It reminds him of being caged. At least his hunting... all the pain's over in an instant. What seems to be going on here, it's just cruel. "Hey, there, little guy," Thel ventures to the spider. "What do you say that maybe we go and try and find you some berries or something to eat, and you can let that thing go. Either that, or just... end it now. Just don't make it suffer. How does... how does that sound?"

Muku gently curves around and gives Omega the most desu~ of looks. "Well, Muku supposes that if Omega wants help, then Muku will help." She says, wind gently caressing the sides of her face.
She walks up to Omega, sparing only a sidelong glance at Thel in the distance. "Muku thinks Thel found something of a friend, so we can let him go and get the honey ourselves instead. Does Omega want a flower? They smell quite pretty!"

Omega sniffs it. She was right, it did smell nice. He went through an internal struggle before frowning at himself before he spoke "I do like the scent, but I need my nose to help find stuff. If I hadn't have been sniffing around, I wouldn't have found the honey. But Thel might like it later. I think it would make him happy to get something from you."
A moment later his eyes went wide and he looked back at Muku "Don't tell him I said that"
With that, he lead her back towards the honey, and the cocoons that so interested him

Thel's answer is a warning shot, a thin pink venomous barb streaking through the air from the spider's horn, to shatter against the tree beside him in a similarly colored powder. It then scuttles backwards far enough that only it's glittering eyes are visible along the side of the trunk. The pained whimpering increases in intensity, something small and vulpine clearly struggling to free itself and only exacerbating the weak poison in its system.
Muku and Omega return to the sight of the cocoon, following the mellow scent of honey on the air. A sweet aromatic tang that is unmistakable against the other smells of the forest. As it did before, the white pinpoints of light against the dark sclera of the insect move away from the bark where it is anchored to watch the approaching trainers. It makes a low chittering sound, echoed by several of its fellows in nearby trees. It doesn't seem to be a sound of distress.

Omega nodded in the direction " Honey is that way. We should get some and then I'll capture that Cocoon there. We can move when you're ready. They might attack us when we do this. Are you alright with this?" He asks the once bird before turning back and quickly glancing through the area 12 Perception or 14 if its far away

"I... see," Thel says, backing away. If he had his fire, he'd show that bug what for... and also probably have already eaten it. But now... after his showing in that last battle, and everything else... no, he doesn't want to fight this. But, he doesn't want the other thing to suffer... There's an internal war within him, as he tries to decide what to do. It's a bug... and not a nice bug like Hope... so, well, maybe it would be fine to mess with it. And it attacked him. And there was that whimpering… but, nature... and... Sigh. "I'm sorry," he says to the bug. "I know you just want to eat. But... I've learned that I really don't like to see things suffering. And, this is a better outcome for you than if we'd met just a few days ago." With that, he releases Hope. "Hope... uh, can you do anything to that spider, please? Probably best not to get too close." He doesn't follow that advice though, and moves up to give it a bop off to the side. Thel is Initiative 10. Hope is Initiative 12. Hope uses Stun Spore. (16 vs AC 6) Thel uses Feint attack for 21 Physical Dark damage.

"Muku thinks that just means she'll have to run really fast, and climb really good." She tightens the decorative flower to her ear and gives a confident nod. "Muku moves with you!"Perception of 10 to spot hidden THREATS!

Omega grins in confidence " Right. I'll run distraction, you get the honey." He darts off into the woods before getting to the side of one of the Kakuna. Before jumping out, he pulls a piece of grass from the side and plays a light sound on it, hoping to lull the Kakuna to sleep. The sound came out harsher than expected and the boy grumbles before jumping out towards the bugs. Omega fails at Grass Whistle before jumping out and getting the bugs attention
