Jace still wasn't convinced. Unless these Trubbishes were dragging something there was no way they could have created that trail. With nothing large enough in sight to be dragged he thought to continue his search for the mystery Pokemon. Ace leads the way.

Marietta picks up her Pokeball containing Trubbish and place it in her pocket. She takes another look at the viscid river before deciding against picking up her broken Pokeball. Marietta grimaces at the foul stench, and not wanting to endure the foul stench any longer before she gets sick, Marietta puts on her gas mask. "Disgusting, revolting! An irresponsible factory or facility must be somewhere nearby."
She follows Jace to check on the trail.

You three follow the trail for a few miles, it comes to a stop where it seems to go into the scarlet water. You're all about 70% of the way to Aquifer Delta City and dusk has already arrived. You're between the river and some trees now, the grass you are all under is dead. You barely hear the lonesome sounds of crickets in the night.

"So what do you think we are going to find?" Jace wasn't sure they were going to find anything at this point, but Ace continued on the trail like he knew where he was going. He was also a little concerned about Marietta being there. He was confident Ace could beat whatever it was, but he wasn't confident that he could out throw Marietta. Jace knows that she shows no remorse for stealing other people's Pokemon, so it wouldn't exactly be a stretch for her to try and snatch this one from under his nose. He'd have to think fast when the time came...

"Anyone got a binocular?" Marietta knows she will cross the river, but hearing the sound of crickets and the crimson river below had her reconsider. It may be a Pokemon waiting. "Ya know, I heard the sound of Kricketot." Marietta scans the forest area with her Pokedex.

"Nope, no binoculars." Although Jace could probably use a pair... "Ace, are you sure you're even still on that trail?" Ace did not stop to so much as address the question. He just continued forward on his hunt. Guess that answered that question.

"Could be a pokemon," Tully pipes up, "but anythin' big enough to make this much mess'd probably be pretty noticable. Seems a bit bigger than one 'mon, 'fya ask me. Could be a bunch of 'em, could be good ol' fashioned human dumbassin'. Either way, we sure we wanna take 'em on?"

"If one needs to progress, one must take the first step." Marietta closes her Pokedex, and brings out Jane from her cozy Pokeball. Jane materializes from the red beam, grinning like Marietta in her carefree days. "I'm checking the other side of the river, creating a path with Ice Beam." Jane concentrates freezing energy from her mouth and fires the beam onto the ground. Jane adjusts the trajectory, forming an ice bridge that allows passage to the other side as far as possible.
Marietta picks up Jane and holds her close to her chest. She gets close to Jace and whispers. "Hey, anything wrong, can you throw me across?"
Marietta thus begins another leap of faith on ice.

Too reckless to take the safety precaution, and not wearing the correct boots to cross ice terrain, Marietta's legs give ways as she slips into the dangerous crimson river. Jane quickly clings tightly onto Marietta's shoulder. "Wahh!" Marietta's refuses to be defeated in this situation, and as if her life depends on it, clings her hand onto the edge of the icy bridge. Marietta quickly somersaults her body upwards and barely balances herself on the icy terrain. "Haaa!" Not going to suffer another slip, Marietta runs and leaps to the end of ice bridge.

Crossing a bridge made of ice over a crimson river sounded like a horrible idea. "Ace and I will keep tracking from this side, in case it emerged from the river over here." If it was a water type that could be a real possibility, but more to the point Jace didn't want to cross.

Tully looks down at the ice bridge stretching across the poisoned water and gulps a little. "Yeah, I'm thinkin' I'll stay over this side too. You... do yer thing on that side."

On the other side of the river, Marietta sees another road that connects the two cities. Past the road is just a hillside littered with trees. Since the sun is barely up you can can't really see what's ahead over the horizon, also there aren't any tracks.
They divided group travels down the road and comes across a metal bridge so Marietta can cross over again. The group decides to set up camp (somewhere) and visit the city in the morning. Before everyone could get comfortable, they all hear a loud cry coming from the river.

Before Marietta could look for firewood within the area, the scream alerts her. Marietta is startled, but regains her eagerness to save the day. She stands up and looks at Jace and Tully. "You hear that? We got to check it!"

After the bellowing outburst in the water, you now hear the lingering clamor of something close to your campsite. A smell you've previously inhaled comes rushing back to your nostrils as the noises get closer and closer.

"Looks like whatever is making that sound is coming to us!" Ace springs into action, standing ready between Jace and the approaching sound. Ace's face scrunches up in disgust. Whatever it was, it was smelly and on its way.

Tully makes no sound, simply releasing Xander next to Ace and pulling a knife from inside his coat and holding it up, ready to throw.

The wind carries the scuttling noise, the black figures show themselves to you. Eight Tubbishes are moving straight towards you three. One of you also see something hanging on the edge of the river. Its shine reflects the moonlight.
Ace sees that the vermilion water near the hanging object is clumping together with the sludge-like hand as it creeps forward. The water left behind becomes clear again as the bubbling sludge pulls more and more of the toxic in itself. A shrieking roar can be hear again from the Thing being formed.

"Who wants to be defeated by me?" Under the protection of the gas mask, Marietta taunts at the group of Trubbish. Jane is hanging on her, showing her tongue, but soon retracts her tongue and endures the horrendous stench. Marietta prepares her pokeballs.

The Trubbish snarl at Marietta and they begin to leap at her. The slime monster creeps up the dirt path and approaches the group, still at a distance. Trubbish 1: 8 Trubbish 2:12 Trubbish 3: 11 Trubbish 4: 11 Trubbish 5: 12 Trubbish 6: 14 Trubbish 7: 12 Trubbish 8: 8

Jane leaps away from Marietta's shoulder and into the group of Trubbishes. Surrounded, Jane lets out a piercing round temp croak all over her foes. Marietta swiftly leaps behind, returning Jane to her Pokeball through the small gap between the Trubbishes and flies Joe's pokeball straight at one of the Trubbishes (5th Trubbish). The toss Pokeball recoils from the 5th Trubbish onto the 7th Trubbish. Feeling the impact, Joe comes out from his Pokeball. He roars in anger, it smells like Seviper! Marietta uses Round Trip. Jane Initiative: 21 Joe Initiative: 21 Marietta Initiative: 16
