Kat stares at the wrecked jalopy in silence for a moment, expression leagues more calm than it had been only a moment before. Her eyes flick to the caves; it was worth a shot, at least. She didn't have the slightest clue how fixable the vehicle was, but if they had a chance to hide out at the caves and maybe hold off the Nidoking as a group... "See if y'can get it going," she mumbles at last. "I'mma get ready for worst case scenario." And with that she makes for the forst at the edge of the caves, looking for a particular cave entrance that looked best defensible-- and one without the smell and grime that the Gene-Children had left behind... If possible, Kat's going to set up a Survivalist trap-- one at the forest edge (Tangle Trap) and prepare to set up one at the entrance to the defensible cave (Abrasion Trap), leaving just enough room for a human to sneak by on the edge. The second one will only be started if she hears that Amber can't fix the jalopy.

"No this is good, life's great." Cecil fumed, booting one of the jalopy's tires. "Alright so we might have something closing on us, our ride got partially ate while we were out, and we ain't got no clue where Vargas is." Bunnie's alright though. Sorta. A part of him quietly consoled, dousing what temper might have escalated the fit further.

Bunnie backs towards Cecil, grabbing onto his shirt and pointing to the hole, eyes wide.
"There's something in there. It doesn't sound good either."

Kat doubles back to the group, putting away her trap-making tools for the time being. "Don't suppose its functional?" she groans. "Anyways-- I think the big bad pokemon is off our trail for now. But tell ye what: there's an old town nearby, abandoned 'n such, but might make a good base on our way back t'Purewater. Might even have a clinic with some usable supplies," she says as she looks at Christine.
"It's about a mile'r so off, but providin' you're all up to the walk, it's safer than hangin' around in the wilderness waitin' for that king of the forest to expand his territory in a fit'a rage."

"That sounds good," Christine acknowledges, nodding. "But, uh... how much stuff might have claimed that as their kingdom?"

Squinting at the hole in question, Cecil stiffened initially at Bunnie's touch. He was emotionally spent on the day already, wanted to be well and done with it. Listening to Kat discuss another recourse, and that they wouldn't return to Purewater so easily, only set the lines in his face deeper. Fine, Bunnie wanted a problem dealt with even if they could leave it alone, he'd deal with it. Fink's Pokeball popped open on a rock outside the hole and returned to him easily with a bounce. "Kick some dirt up Fink, then back off, we'll draw it out."

Amber squints at the car, reaches in and jiggles a few things in a bit of a rush--that roaring noise made her nervous. She looks up as Cecil starts issuing orders and frowns.
"We don't have time for that," She says, shaking her head. "Something just crashed a tree in a second--we need to get out of here. The jalopy isn't too broken to run--just need to make a stop once we're clear so I can fix the damage. Won't get us back to Purewater, but it'll get us somewhere safer--that town of yours, if you think it's safe."

Kat hesitates for a second-- then nods and scrambles into the back, staring back in the direction of the Nidoking's roars.

From beneath the tree, there's a sound of sand skittering off of something metallic, before the Sandile slithers back quickly. For a moment, there's silence... before a muffled shriek of rending metal is heard, followed by a sound that could best be described as... "Ptooey". A fist-sized chunk of compressed steel rockets out of the burrow like a bullet from a gun, and pegs the little crocodilian right between his eyes. There are now eyes visible in the burrow, big, blue and slightly luminous, but the rest of the creature is still in shadow. It doesn't seem to be all that large though. If anyone investigates the projectile, it appears to be a piece of the frame of the Jalopy, albeit compressed down and covered in small marks that look like a combination of beak and toothmarks. Fink takes 30 damage and two injuries after defenses.

"What the hell did you do, DeLoria?" asks Christine, a little frantically. "We've already got a big problem, and now you're provoking more?" She shakes her head, as she makes her way to Amber and the Jalopy. "Well, what's done is done, let's just get going!"

"Bunnie spotted a problem so I'm dealing with it. Sides, the little fendermuncher has it coming. Probably has the rest of your parts in there with it. Fink give'er a nibble, let's wrap this up." The Sandile let out an angry chuff and charged back into the hole, maw wide. The clanging and clunking confirmed some sort of connection, however effective, and Cecil lobbed a ball in at the antagonistic little shit. c6GILHn|1d20 Bite V.

in the dark hole, there's a clash of fang on steel as Fink bites down on the little creature, before the pokeball Cecil lobbed slams into it, sucking the target in and leaving Fink's jaws clamped around the wriggling orb. Before the Sandile can enjoy his victory however, or Cecil can give him further orders, he's forcibly ejected at high speed by a second form, while a third slightly smaller one slams its head against the tunnel wall, collapsing the front of the tunnel and cutting off access to the occupants... and the parts within.
Fink comes to a stop out cold, but his jaws still clenched around the pokeball, which gives a soft "ping" as it stabilizes its capture field. Everyone's active pokedexes give a very odd buzzer sound as the circuitry of the new capture's pokeball begins to glow.

"Okay, great, you caught it!" Christine says, impatiently, while making glances towards where the roaring had come from earlier, "Now can we please get a move on?"

Scooping up the wad of scrap, and tucking the little crocodile safely back in it's ball, Cecil stowed his new acquisition in a pocket. "Yeah yeah, I'm coming, it's been dealt with. If we go now, probably aren't getting the rest of the jalopy's bits back. I think the critters must eat it or something. Come on Bunnie, it's weird, but pretty safe." Cecil offered her a hand after jumping in the back of the vehicle.

Bunnie takes Cecil's hand and climbs into the jalopy herself. "Thank you." She lowers her face looking at nothing as she wraps the coat tighter to her body.

Following Kats directions, the group has a bumpy and slow ride; Amber doing her best to keep the Jalopy from falling completely apart as she drives, making their relative pace slow, but still overall faster than walking. Eventually they reach a turnoff, and following the curve of the ancient road, edge towards a cluster of buildings, many of them still overgrown with weeds and vines; with even more just blocks of concrete and sunken foundations. Further in there's a taller building with a prominent red cross shape on it, and another with a rusted sign depicting a vehicle of some kind; but none of you can see street-level details due to the other buildings in the way.
Perception checks from everyone please.

Christine looks around, impressed - and intimidated - yet again with what the surface world had to offer. This place seems like it has more of... a solemnity than Purewater. It has a different air. She tries to imagine it full of people, what it would look like in it's heyday, but can't picture it. So she just tries to take it all in, looking all around. Perception: 13

Cecil took stock of the town they'd stumbled across. It was a wonder there wasn't anyone anywhere. No, that ain't right. There's always someone, somewhere. It had been cathartic, holding Bunnie's hand, and getting to sit so close to her for the short ride. Same time, it felt different, like the dynamics had changed. "I don't like it." The greaser spoke without context for a moment. "Way too many places to hide here, we could be in as much danger as we were back at the caves." A sideways glance towards Kat was a clear probe for more information.

Kat fidgets as they grow closer to the town, eyebrows furrowed and on the lookout. "I ain't sayin' people never hide out here, but one way or another it's plenty safer than bein' anywhere that beastie back in the forest. I haven't heard of no big groups of raiders makin' this place their home, else I wouldn'ta suggested it, y'know?" She catches Cecil's eye and shrugs halfheartedly. "Anyone stickin' around gives us trouble and they'll learn from that mistake right quick."
She returns her eyes to the road and looks for any telltale signs that they might be driving straight into trouble.
