"Hey, newsflash for you airhead... huh, I suppose that makes sense considering the cotton candy hair... I can't recall it into it's pokeball if it smashes it, hence why I need it NOT HERE! Besides, it's just like a child throwing a tantrum. Giving in only teaches it that it's right. Also, you so much as touch Floon and I will strangle you to death!" Seriously, some people... At least his pokemon had some interesting moves to talk about, she'd have to remember that one... For funsies intimidate on Dave: 15. You get the feeling she isn't joking...

Luke
As Gawain stuck the bird twice, it pumped itself up even larger and quickly struck him with a wing, though it seemed that Gawain had did a number on the bully, the big bird favouring its right leg. It began to caw loudly, the nearby treetops shaking in response...
Jack
The man frowned "I think I should have enough supplies to make it a bit more comfortable for the rest of the trip. It's just a couple blocks away, but I'd rather make sure it gets better then worry about how many supplies I use" He smiled as he pulled out a potion and gingerly applied it to the little bird
"Like I was saying, it's just a few blocks in, just take a the first left you see" He points as he speaks.
The Pidgey lets out a weak cry, slowly stirring as the Potion begins to take effect
Dave and Jacqueline
The old man sighs as Jacqueline attempts to scold him "I know you're young, but ignoring the fact that she's rampaging because her young was stolen from her, she was also just forced to go through her ball being broken and then being re captured. The trauma from the ball breaking would have been enough to cause this, I'm sure."
The Ursaring meanwhile, looked over to where Jacqueline had pointed, and its eyes lit up when it saw its child. A mighty roar bellowed out across the forest as the bear tore its way towards the Persian, it's arms glowing once more as it pummeled the already weakened Persian into submission, before looking at the Teddiursa once again, gently reaching out and pulling it in for a mighty bear hug. It seemed finding its child was enough to end the rampage.

"Thanks," Jack said, holding out the Pidgey carefully as the man used the Potion. "I actually didn't have any medicine with me...I should probably pick some up, heh," he said as he watched the medicine take effect. Jack adjusted how he was holding the Pidgey as it stirred, trying to make it more comfortable.
"Alright, thanks. First left, then a few blocks...got it," Jack said, looking ahead. He made it about a step before he realized he didn't even know the name of the person who'd just helped him.
"Oh, I didn't get your name," Jack said. "I'm Jack. Thank you very much for helping me and this Pidgey," he said with a bow. He waited for a response, and realized Bolt was tugging at his pants leg. "Oh, and this is Bolt. He's my pal, and partner," he said, nodding at Bolt.

"Geez, why don't you just say murder me to death?" retorts Dave, sarcastically. "It would sound so much more sophisticated. 'Strangle to death'..."
He jumps back though, when the bear comes in his general direction... but then relaxes when it takes out the cat, and goes to its cub. He gingerly steps away from the two ursines, and towards the other humans. "So, genius," he asks sarcastically, gesturing Hal over, "You planning to actually recall the thing now? Or wait for it to decide its had enough cuddle time and be back to square 1?"

Jacqueline would watch as the Ursaring rampages over to the Persian and gives it a solid thrashing, making note of the almost... playful manner in which it violently murdered the thing. It was certainly an interesting move, she'd have to remember that one for later... but for now there was the current situation to attend to. She rolled her eyes at the Breeder's comment, taking the holocaster from his hands. "At the very least, you could have tried to do something to help. I can't imagine what you would have done if I hadn't agreed to help you, except maybe stand around and be walked all over." She then goes back over to the poacher's unconscious body, messing around until she finds the Persian's pokeball, recalling it. She then takes the empty Ursaring Ultra Ball and tosses it to the breeder to do with how he sees fit, as she does so continuing to verbally spar with the only idiot currently in the clearing. "Because 'murder you to death' is incredibly redundant, and I leave silly grammar mistakes like that to the idiots who make them." She glances pointedly at Dave for a moment and then grins. It seems she's having fun with all of this banter and the situation. She walks towards him as she continues. "Besides, saying strangle gives more details to your demise, it's a more visceral image, more interesting. Now smile~!" Before he react, she raises her holocaster and takes a picture of his face with a smirk. "So, do you have a name, Cotton Candy?" Let it be known that I have now Archived Play Rough. Whoo! 1 AP, spent!

"Well, 'strangle to death' is just as redundant, is the point I was making," Dave says. "If you didn't kill me, it would be a near-strangulation. But, I'm sure any idiot could tell you that."
When she says 'smile', he instead gives an incredibly deadpan look. Apparently he could not catch a break today with meeting people. "Yes. I do, in fact." He doesn't elaborate, though, instead rummaging through his pack for another bottle of water, and leaving her with simply his irritated tone. That cat had left him with a dry mouth, and stinging injuries. At least he could fix one of those.
He continues making aside glances at the bears and poacher, though. Any one of them could probably pose a problem if something happened.

"I think you need to work on your definitions. You can strangle something without killing them. Try to be correct if you're going to be pedantic, hmm? Or would you like me to find a dictionary for you?" She smirks again and then looks to Hal, completely ignoring the bears, taking a moment to admire him. "You're a pretty pokemon. Strong too, managed to take quite the hits... I'm Jacqueline, a pleasure to meet you." She then turns her head over her shoulder, her kind tone immediately dropping back to her more snarky one as she addresses Dave. "His name is Hal, right Mr. Spritzee?" Meanwhile, Floon slowly drifts down, hovering over her shoulder, silent as ever. Spending 1 AP, recording Hal to archive.

Gawain takes the hit, grunting slightly, but other than that not really seeming all that hurt. Luke looks around somewhat concernedly at the noises around them, but doesn't say anything yet.

"Not if it's written by whoever you learned language from..." Dave begins before stopping. "Well, at least you have good taste in Pokémon. Unlike everything else. And, yes, his name is Hal. And mine is Dave, not "Mister Spritzee". You must have some Zubat blood in you, if you think that I'm a small fluttering creature that smells of perfume. Anyways, if you've got your bear problem all resolved, then I think I shall bid you goodbye."

JackThe man crouched down and held out a hand towards Bolt, who quickly ran over and sniffed it "Why hello Bolt" He said with a grin, before standing back up and nodding at Jack "You can call me Wade. And of course. Master always taught me to help anyone in need. It was his first lesson" He says with a laugh "Well Jack" He says nodding in the direction he had said the Center was in "I'm sure you want to get that Pidgey healed up. Feel free to come back later if you want. I don't think me and Crash are going anywhere until tomorrow at the earliest." He then looked down "And you too of course Bolt" LukeThe bird puffs its chest up once more, laughing at Gawain enough to drive the little Eevee into a frenzy, before it flapped its wings once more and begin to lift up into the sky, quickly getting out of Gawains reach. The rustling in the treetops grew more intense, Luke could hear it from at least two different directions. Whatever it was, it sounded close. Gawain is confused by Swagger! But he also gets +2 Attack stages from it
However, the Honchkrow has flown 5 meters up and thus out of Gawains reach Dave and JacquelineThe old Breeder frowned at Jacqueline as he caught the ball she threw "Oh yeah, there's so much an old man with no Pokemon can do against a raging mother Ursaring looking for her child." He sighed "There is a reason I hired a Pokemon Trainer to help me after all. I am not one. I breed em, and I take care of em, but I don't have what it takes to make her listen to me in battle." He reached into his pack and threw a small bundle at Jacqueline "Here, that payment I promised if you could help me get her back." He smiled for a moment as he watched the bears, before recalling the mother. Once the larger bear had disappeared, the Teddiursa once more turned to Dave and went running over to him. Noah laughed as he saw it "Seems the little guy has really taken a liking to you. Tell you what, how about you take him along with you?" When Jacqueline complimented Hal, the Porygon beeped and booped in a way that almost sounded joyful, before floating back to Dave. Noah walked over to the knocked out Jesse, placing a hand on his neck "Well, he still has a pulse. So I guess I better go and get the police involved. If the two of you don't want to get stuck dealing with all the processing, I would recommend taking off before they get here. I'll explain everything"

"I'm sorry, old man," Dave says, shaking his head, "but that doesn't seem like a good idea to me. First of all, I'm not going to be responsible for causing that Ursaring to rampage again. And it seems like her finding her cub missing is the best way to do that. Not to mention, with the way my luck's been going today, I'd run into more bears who thought I was a cubnapper. I think, honestly, it's probably best if the little one stays with his mother. Safer for everyone involved." With that, he hefts his bag, checking his PokéNav to get his bearings for the next town.

"At this point, I'm relatively certain your hair stylist is a spritzee. Or do you have one perched on your head? That would explain it too." As the breeder tosses the cash to her, she catches it rather easily, leafing through it to make sure it was all there, before pulling a chunk out and shoving it in her bag. "Hey Dave, think fast~!" she'd then toss the remaining bundle of cash at Dave's head with a playful laugh.

Dave turns around to see what the ruckus was about, barely managing to flinch out of the way of the projectile. "Hey!" he demands, "What was that for?" It takes him a minute to look and examine what the thing was, before it registers, and he picks it off the ground. "Oh. Well, thanks. Though, next time you might want to hand it over, like someone who wasn't raised by Primapes."
"And, no. I've never seen a Spritzee in person," Dave says, putting the bundle in his bag. "And, judging by your comments, you wouldn't know one if it landed on your head."

Jacqueline rolls her eyes with a scoff. "Whatever you say... although while you're busy knowing me better than I know myself, mind telling me where my uncle Enrique disappeared to? My mother always wonders where he ran off to..." She holds her wistful expression as long as she can, but it doesn't take long before the giggle escapes. "Anyways, we better be off while we can, as he said. We must 'bounce' before the cops arrive and all that, yes? I know I don't want to get within a mile of the paperwork. So, where are we off to next?" She waits a beat, just enough for him to open his mouth as if he was going to refuse before butting in again. "And yes, I said 'we', I decided that, and you'll accept it because you couldn't outrun me if you tried. If you'd like to lodge any complaints, my secretary here will take them." She looks to Floon with a giggle, while Floon remains as stoic as ever, bobbing in the air.

"I thought you didn't want me to touch your... 'secretary,'" snarks Dave. "I don't see how I'd be able to lodge a complaint." It's not something that he would actually stoop to, but if it got her to shut up...
Not likely, though, judging by, well... every other person he'd met so far in this backwater region. Why was it that every time he managed to keep getting stuck with these sorts of people. She's right in that there's no way he could outrun her, as the twinges of pain that the cat left constantly remind him.
So, for now at least, he begrudgingly admits that he's stuck with her. But, not for long, if he had anything to say about it. Unless his oblique threat was enough to get her to leave now. But, given what he'd seen of her so far, and given his today was gong, it wasn't likely...

Luke frown deepens as the Honchkrow sets off Gawain, shaking his head in disgust as the bird then flew off. "Typical." he spits out, "The going gets tough, and what do you do? Boss around, bully and abuse those weaker and smaller than you, kiss up to those stronger, run off at the first sight of danger, call in freaking henchmen who you've no doubt cowed into listening to you! Cowards, the lot of you! You're nothing but a scared little bird hiding behind a façade of greatness and some muscle whose way overdue a reality check! All that power you think you've amassed here? Your minions running around, doing your bidding because they're afraid of you? It'll all be GONE the moment they realise there are many of them and only ONE! OF! YOU! How many do you think you can hold off? Two, maybe three? ANd after that? How about your fourth victim and fifth? How many enemies have you made here?! Do you really think you can keep on beating them?! You'll be NOTHING!" Luke pants a little, before shaking his head, "Nothing but scared little bird, alone with no friends to speak off..."
As Luke is ranting, Gawain stands next to him, doing his best to shake of the confusion, but so far failing.

"Right," Jack said, stiffening up and looking at the Pidgey again. "Wade...got it. And Crash," he said, smiling at Wade's pokemon companion. "You're right...I should get going. Thank you very much for the instructions, and for helping out!," he said again, rushing off, following Wade's directions.
"I'll come back soon! Thanks again, Wade!," he shouted as he hurried off toward the Pokemon Center.

Luke
The bird looked down at Luke, with a slightly offended look on its face. Midway through Luke's tirade, two smaller black bird Pokemon had burst forth from the treetops and flapped in place, completely enraptured by the young mans words.
When he had finished, the Honchkrow once more pointed at Luke with a wing and began to screech, expecting the others to charge after him. However, the pair looked unsure of whether they wanted to attack Luke or the bigger bird
Jack
Jack, Bolt, and the Pidgey were able to make their way through town and into the Pokemon Center without much difficulty, it seems that Wade was right, and after a single turn and a little running, they found themselves in front of the Center.
Upon entering the building, the lone Nurse noticed the Pidgey in Jacks arms and rushed forward "Oh no! What happened to this little guy?" She says, while grabbing the Tiny Bird to take to the back.
Dave and Jacqueline
As the old Breeder waves off Dave and Jacqueline, the pair begin to make their way forward. The forest was quiet for the most part, especially compared to Nuvema Town over the last few days.
However, after a few minutes, both Dave and Jacqueline had the overwhelming feeling that they were being watched...

"So." Dave grumbles to the tagalong trainer. "Any reason in particular why you're deciding to follow me?"

Luke remains standing defiantly, glaring at the Honchkrow, before turning his head to the Murkrow. "You don't need to listen to him, you know! He can't control you! Look at him! Wounded and alone. The only reason he's bossing you around is cause you let him! Stand up to him, overcome your fears! Become your own boss! Don't let him decide for you, take up matters in your wings!"Gawain stood by him, still trying and failing to shake off the confusion. Charm Check: 17 Confusion Save: 6
