Julie watches the bug miss and smiles slightly. The little tadpole was a lot harder to hit than it looked, bouncing around on the ground! "Alright Tear, just give it a light hit, see if it will concede after that. Don't want to knock out our potential new friend!" Julie uses Inspired Orders. Whoo!
Tear uses Struggle! 12 vs AC 4 15 Normal Physical struggle damage. Not going to use Fountain.

Matt
Bulwark slammed into the tree hard, causing it to shake. The Caterpie started to sway and shake, frantically trying to regain its balance, but it failed. The bug fell, landing hard at the foot of the tree, and was slow to rise. It was clearly battered.
When the Caterpie got up, it looked at Bulwark fearfully. "Pie...Caterpie...," it said sadly, and for a moment Bulwark calmed down, looking like he might have been satisfied.
Then, seeing the moment of weakness, the Caterpie launched a blast of String Shot at Bulwark!
The Aron was not amused, and Bulwark began to paw at the ground, ready to finish off the little pest.
Julie
The Sewaddle bounced back, and was slow to rise, but eventually did. It rushed Tear again, trying desperately to get a hit in, before blending into the background once again.

"Come on Bul, you got him down, now knock him out!" Matt calls out, trusting in his partner to be able to finish it off on his own

Julie narrows her eyes, trying to spot the sewaddle for the trees. Hopefully Tear would have better eyesight than she did. "Keep it up, another mud bomb!"Unfortunately for her, Tear wasn't quite keeping track of where it was, what with the whole trying not to knock it out thing. Crit fail on Mud Bomb. Inspired Orders as always.

Matt
The angry Aron rushed forward, striking the bug bodily. The bug was launched backwards, landing dazed, unconscious, and defeated.
Bulwark was triumphant, and walked over to the bug, kicking some dirt onto the pest with his hind legs. Once he had freed himself from the last of the string shot, he walked back over to Matt, in somewhat better spirits.
"A-ron," he said contently. He was satisfied with the victory.
Julie
Tear missed this time, and the Sewaddle lunged from behind him, tackling him hard. But, as it had moved, the little bug was visible...at least for the moment.

Matt smiled and pat Bulwark on the head "Good job champ, first stop on the way to beating Dad! But even if he was a jerk, we should make sure the little guy wakes up OK"
Walking over, Matt sits next to the Caterpie, wiping the dirt off of it while shooting Bulwark a look and pulling out the Granola bar from earlier "Wake up punk. I can't leave you knocked out like this"

Julie watches closely, trying to figure out how to beat this Camouflage. It was tough to beat. However, there did seem to be a moment of weakness. "Tear, try and hit it when it's just moving! You got this!" The Orders are Inspired! Mud bomb! 18 vs AC 4. Target's accuracy is reduced by one stage. 27 special ground type damage.

Matt
Bulwark seems happy, though slightly confused as to why they have to wait for the Caterpie.
After a short while the Caterpie wakes up. Seeing you and Bul standing over it, though, it immediately bolts in fright, firing off a stream of sting shot and disappearing into the trees above without a trace.
Julie
The Sewaddle fired off a blast of string shot before fading into the background again. Before it faded, though, you noticed that it looked like it was quite weakened.
Steven & Valerie
As the two of you are talking, you hear a distant shout and the sound of someone, or something, crashing through the trees, followed by a pair of loud thumps.

Steven starts slightly at the sudden thump, but recovers quickly. "I am willing to bet that that was either Matt or Julie, how 'bout you?" He grins at Valerie. "Seems like I did in fact jinx someone... Shall we go see what's going on there?"

Julie keeps track of how the Sewaddle was moving, and tries to see where it would be attacking from. When she thinks she has the pattern down, she sees a bit of a distortion, and smirks, lining up the pokeball and aiming it exactly where it would be heading, giving it a solid smack on the head. "Gotcha!" Julie Capture Attempt! 15 vs AC 6(?) Status attack 3 for Capture Roll

"That would probably be a good idea..." Val agrees. "Not in the least so that we all get back together."

Julie
You loose the pokeball, expertly tossing it where you think the Sewaddle is going to be...and your instincts are correct! As you throw the ball, the Sewaddle lunges forward, dropping it's camouflage, and is shocked to be on a collision course with the pokeball. "Wa-?!," was all it managed to say as it was sucked into the ball. It rolled back and forth a few times before coming to rest with a pleasant chime. Sewaddle was caught!
You didn't have much time to celebrate, though, as you heard a shout, crashing sounds, and a pair of thumps in the distance. Who, or what, could that have been?

Matt stands up, looking over at Bul "I wanted to make sure we didn't hurt it TOO bad. It was a jerk but I'm not that heartless"
He looked around "Errr, where is everyone else?"

At the sound of the loud thumps, Julie tilts her head in concern. She quickly releases her new friend onto her shoulder and scoops up Tear in her arms before moving off to investigate. "I'm sorry, I'll give you a name later, I just want to check out this sound really quickly..."

"Sewad?," the little Sewaddle says, tilting it's head and looking around. It seems pretty happy with its present situation, though.
Everyone
Julie, Steven, and Valerie all follow the sound of the noise, and it leads them straight to Matt. He's in a little Grove, and there are flattened plants, along with several fairly large, freshly broken branches everywhere. There's also an abundance of torn string shot all over the ground.
Bulwark is talking to Matt in the grove. "A-ron," he said nonchalantly. If it was well enough to get up and run off, it obviously wasn't hurt too badly.
As if on que, Matt, you notice your three compatriots coming toward you. That answers that question.

"Oh, man," Val says, looking around. Looks like something came up... "What happened here? Well, at least it looks like you're both alright, so all's good, right?"

Matt scratched the back of his head, looking between everyone "Errr me and Bul had a little argument with a Caterpie. When Bul couldn't catch it, I tried climbing up and bringing it down to make the fight a bit more fair.....Except I guess the branch couldn't handle me"
He smiled and held up a fist "But we ended up knocking it out of the tree and winning anyways"

Reunited with your comrades, the group continues on through the forest without further incident. Eventually, you reach the edge of the forest, and your destination.
Stepping out from beneath the canopy, before you is an old blimp air station, or, well, it used to be one. The area is obviously abandoned. The large building that once served as a terminal is boarded up and a few of the windows are broken. There is a chain with a padlock across the door facing you. There is a large, open air hangar, but it appears to be empty. It is difficult to see if there is anything on the ground in the hangar because of what lies between you and the structure.
Between the edge of the forest and the structures, in what was once the rumored way, there is now a field of waist-high grass, even up to your chest in some places, or higher on the shorter members of the party. Scurrying and flapping noises can be heard within the grass, and it is clear that there must be some pokemon out in the field, though exactly what kind is unclear.
One last structure finishes out the area, a large tower, clearly once the air traffic control tower. It, like the other structures, has seen better days. You can see a large antenna atop the tower, and at the base of the tower there is a jeep not unlike the one you rode down to the beach in.
You are presented with a choice. The fastest way to the air station lies through the grassy field, although that would almost certainly mean encountering some of the pokemon in the field. Alternatively, you could attempt to skirt around the edge of the field, taking a more circuitous route, and possibly avoiding the pokemon in the field. The choice is yours.

Steven grins at the sight of the large field of tall grass, getting excited as he hears Mon scuttling around in the grass. "Awesome! I don't know 'bout you guys, but I'm going straight through, right Sirius?" With that, he starts moving through the grass field, trying his best to stay quiet as he keeps a careful eye out, wanting to get the drop on any mon he encountered, Sirius (presumably) following right behind. Steven Perception: 14 Steven Stealth: 8 Sirius Perception: 11 Sirius Stealth: 17

Matt watches Steven and Sirius trudge off and disappear into the grass, before shrugging and looking over to the girls "I'm gonna go after him, just in case anything happens.....Also, another fight might be a little fun"
A moment later, he pushes his way into the thicket, Bulwark at his side. Matt keeps his mouth shut for the moment, but looks for signs of either Steven or any wild Pokemon. Looking over at Bul, he smiled. This time if they got in a battle there were no trees for the enemy to hide in, Bulwark would be fine.
