"Oh, uh, hey," Val says, looking around, "Where'd everyone get off to? Maybe I should start paying more attention..."

Valerie
After a moment of looking, you are able to easily find Steven and Sirius a little ways up ahead.
Steven
Sirius nods to you, and as you look around you see Valerie and Dinah headed your way.
Matt
Bulwark nods and runs at the tree, scampering and scurrying his way up in spite of the string shot slowing him down. Breathing heavily, he finally comes to grips with the Caterpie, the branches creaking and crackling under his weight.
The Caterpie looses another point blank blast of string shot before firing off a thread to a nearby branch and swinging away, leaving Bulwark along on the creaking branch.

As the Caterpie went to move away again, Matt called out once more "Don't let him escape Bul! Hit him hard!"
Shaking his head, he placed his hand on his chin in thought "This isn't gonna work. Bulwark can't keep up with it at this rate...."
"Alright Bul, I need you to start moving towards the next branch! I have a plan!" Matt yells as he begins to clamber up the tree towards the Caterpie

Steven nods at Sirius. "Thanks bud."
When he spots Valerie and Dinah coming their way, he waves to them. "Hiya Val! How're things going? Find anything interesting?"

"Things are going pretty well. Fought a Weedle... maybe, overestimated it a bit." She says the last bit a little sheepishly. "How about you? Do you know where the others got off to?"

Matt
Bulwark is able to get over to the next branch, and come to grips with the Caterpie, but not much more. Aron were not built for trees. But the parting shot from the last limb seemed to injure the Caterpie. It was breathing heavily. You, yourself, are just able to reach the first level of branches.
The bug loosed a other blast of string shot at Bulwark before, one again, swinging away. This time, however, it went to a higher, thinner, smaller branch...

Steven grins. "Caught a Scatterbug... he... doesn't really like me though... I might have... maybe..." His grin turns sheepishly, and he rubs the back of his head. "... caught it while it was sleeping... and then made things worse as I was trying t make amends. I'm afraid that relationship is gonna get worse before it gets better..."
"Don't really know where the others are. I'm sure they're doing fine though..." he says, getting the awful feeling he just jinxed something...

"Bul! Get him again before he gets away!" Matt shouts, as he continues to climb towards the Caterpie. Luckily climbing a tree and climbing around a ship took a lot of the same skills.
As he continued his ascent, he called out to the little bug "You're a tricky little thing, you know that!? But we'll teach you what happens when you try and play us!"

Matt
Just as you reache the higher branches, as he comes closer to the Caterpie, you hear a sickening cracking sound and feels the tree shudder. As soon as you realize what is happening, the world falls out from underneath you. The branches supporting you give way, and you begin to plummet back down toward the ground. On the way down, you slam into the branch Bulwark was occupying, causing the already strained branch to snap and give way, the two of you now falling together.
You both hit the ground with a loud thud. Fortunately, a bush broke your fall, but Bul is firmly planted in the dirt.
Up above, the Caterpie looks down from its branch at you, its laughter echoing down from the branches above.

As Matt tumbled down the branches, a loud crunch coming from his ribs as he collided with a multitude of branches. When he finally crashed into the ground, next to Bulwark a loud sigh escaped from him
"You win!" He yells out "You were a bit too quick for us" He turned his head to Bul and winked before whispering "Maybe this'll get him down here"

Matt
The Caterpie climbed down to the lower branches, still well above the forest floor, and regarded the downed trainer curiously. Were they really giving up? It wasn't sure...

Julie looks between Tear and the little pokemon for a moment, a bit of confusion on her face. She had picked up that the two wanted to battle, but she wasn't quite sure... why. Maybe it had agreed to join if they battled? Whatever the case, Julie nodded her head slowly and sets Tear down. "Alright, you can battle if you want. Just try not to knock it out? It needs to be awake for me to catch it. Oh, and I suppose you might want orders from me too... I suppose using Supersonic would be a good first move? But I don't really know the conditions of your little battle here..." Supersonic: rkXKc0A21d20 vs AC 6. On success, target confused. On miss, target had -2 accuracy.1d20

Matt moved into a sitting position, ignoring the Caterpie for the moment, and calling Bulwark over to him "Oh well Bul, it looks like we just weren't good enough." He winked at Bul before standing up and walking a bit closer to the tree the Bug was in, gesturing for Bul to follow him.
Once the pair had made it to the base of the tree, the young sailor looked up at the bug "It's too bad you're all the way up there and not down here to get the spoils of your victory. I'm sure I have SOMETHING you'd want in my bag here" he says, patting the bag hanging at his side, while also keeping a firm grip on it

Matt
The Caterpie inches it's way out to the end of the branch, hanging just above your head. It seems that it's curiosity had gotten the better of it as it regards your bag with suspicion.
Julie
Tear nods and the battle begins! The little Tympole's sonic assault seems to daze and confuse the Sewaddle. Shaking it's head, the Sewaddle blends into the background, becoming nearly invisible-and much harder to hit!

As the Caterpie closed in on him, Matt smiled before jumping to grab it, and bring it down to the ground with him "Ha! Gotcha you little punk! Try and run and gun now!" Matt was laughing as he yelled at it, even with falling down a tree, this is more fun then he has had in a while

Matt
The Caterpie let out a surprised squeal but reacted quickly, slipping right through Matt's grasp. It fired off a shot of string shot at Matt and Bulwark before slinking back up into the higher branches. Now a couple of meters above you, the Caterpie started laughing again. "Pie, pie, pie... Caterpie," it said with an amused sigh.

Matt sat down with a smile on his face, resting his back against the tree and looking up "Well, you even got away from my last trick. You won this time, little bug!"
Rustling through his pack, Matt holds up a small granola bar "Here. To the victor goes the spoils, so they say"

Julie narrows here eyes slightly at the thing fades into the background. That was going to make it a lot harder to hit, but what else could she do but try hitting it? "Come on Tear, you can hit it! Hit it with a Mud Bomb!" Julie uses inspired orders, kicking Tear's evasion up to 4. (2 speed, 1 training, 1 orders)
Tear uses Mud bomb! rgc36yDw1d20 vs AC 4.... 2d6+19 Special Ground damage. Accuracy decrease on 16+ 1d20·2d6+19

MattBulwark looked over at Matt with shock. He'd never known his trainer to be a quitter.The Aron started gnawing on the string shot that bound it, breaking free, and nudged Matt hard in the shin. "Ron, ro-ron! A-ron!," it said vehemently, a look of fiery determination, and a little anger, in its eyes. He could see how injured the Caterpie was, and couldn't believe what he was hearing. It was clear from his posture and tone that Bulwark didn't want to let this bug get away with laughing at him, or his trainer. "A-ron!," he said again. The Caterpie remained up in the trees, regarding Matt and Bulwark's conversation, but made no move toward the duo. Fool it once, shame on you, fool it twice...not this bug! Bulwark used a Take a Breather. Reset his CS to neutral. JulieThe mud bomb strikes the camouflaged Sewaddle, kicking up some dust as it cried out from the heavy hit. "Waa-dddddle!" The attack clearly did some damage. Suddenly, the Sewaddle dropped its camouflage, seemingly appearing from nowhere and rushing at Tear!

Matt smiled at the little Aron "I guess I wouldn't want you to be any other way"
He stowed the bar back in his bag while sighing "Alright Bul. Smash into the tree and knock it down. Then I'll grab it and you finish the fight. Got it?"
"Looks like you missed your chance for an easy victory after all!" He yelled up at the Caterpie
