Donovan winced as the berry Pokemon made itself at home in his hair, but didn't disturb it. However he began to glance around warily before looking towards Mica
"Do you get the feeling we're being watched? I have a bad feeling" He quietly asked his companion

The awful squeaking, sputtering, and odd raspberry coming from Mica's attempts to play grass have rewarded her with a better instrument and a small tutor! This is a great day, to learn from the great... the GREAT... this Kricketot really needs a name. If it were a Kricketune, she'd call it the GREAT DELELELE, yeah!
Bowing reverently to her new 'teacher', she makes another attempt at playing. There is a short pause when Donovan calls her attention to the atmosphere of the clearing and she sits up a little straighter and looks around still tooting away.

The berry seems to have quieted down and stopped jabbering now that it's found a comfortable (for it) perch. So, that's something, at least. Donovan gets the feeling that it probably wouldn't be too happy with him moving quickly, though.
Unfortunately, even with the new blade of grass, Mica still isn't able to produce music up to the Kricketot Standard™. It seems to realize that she's eager, though, and patiently chimes out a simple melody again. While this is happening, Mica does notice the batch of leaves that were out of place on the bush seem to have shifted. Squinting, she thinks she can almost make out a pair of wide, innocent yellow eyes staring out at her.

"There is something watching us from the bushes we came through." She quietly informs Donovan, before returning her attention to Kricketot, watching how it makes the notes. She feels spot moving across her lap, and doesn't think anything of it until the Ledyba eats her 'instrument' right out of her hand. It's wide, infantile eyes looking up at Mica with dewy innocence even as she considers it with a scrutinizing expression. "Spoooot, if you were hungry you could have just said so." She picks the Ledyba up and gently patters and rubs her fingers along it's belly. "I guess babies would need more food then an adult... I'm sorry Spot."

Donovan sits on the ground and leans back, doing his best not to disturb his new inhabitant, flinching a little as he tried to get used to the wait.
As Spot eats the blade of grass and Mica's additions to the music come to an end, at least for the moment, Donovan chuckles "Spot, if you were hungry I could have found something for you in my bag"
When Mica points out that they're being watched, he sighs and turns towards the bushes "I don't know who, or what you are, but you can come out now. We know you're there"

The Kricketot chitters irritably at Spot, who just stares back. This continues for a bit of time, but when the Ledyba doesn't seem to react, the musical bug instead huffs, and goes back to picking through the grass, glancing back at Mica every so often.
The berry on Donovan's head wobbles around and jabbers as he turns, slightly displacing it, but then settles down once he stops moving again. There seems to be a little bit of shaking from the bush, but also clear hesitation, until the berry chitters at the rustling. That causes a pause, before a patch of leaves peels itself off from the bush, and hops out. Donovan recognizes it as a Burmy, and it stares up at him and the berry atop his head quietly with its bright yellow eyes.

Donovan smiled as the Burmy came out "Ah, it's just a Burmy, they were probably scared of us and hiding out."
After a few more moments of just sitting in silence Donovan scrunches up his mouth before speaking "Well.....While I'm enjoying this little break, I think we should get back on the road soon"
He looked up without moving his head "Little berry, how would you like to come with me? I may not look it but I'm pretty good at helping berries grow big and strong, so maybe I can do the same for you?"

"Spot that was a very naughty thing you did, it's nap time for you. I hope you didn't hurt Professor Tot's feelings." Mica scolded gently, before returning the Ledyba to it's ball and giving her instructor full attention once more. Hunting for leaves and grasses again, she's just putting the leaves in her mouth when Donovan brings up moving along.

There's what seems to be a far bit of consideration from the Pokémon on Donovan's head, before it hops off, and begins bouncing around him. Donovan gets the feeling that he's being intently scrutinized, before the berry stops and makes a noise that seems to be acceptance, of a sort.
The bug seems more pleased with Mica this time, and gives a bit of a happy jingle-jangle. There's a nod given of what appears to be approval. Probably. It's hard to tell sometimes with Pokémon.

"Maybe you can convince your friend to come with us?" Donovan says with a shrug
At the Berry Pokemons seeming acceptance, Donovan takes a knee and offers up an empty Pokeball in front of him "If you do want to come with me, you just have to touch this Pokeball, though I can let you out anytime you want. You can even ride on my head, or in my hood, which I think might be even cozier for you"
He turned his head back to Mica "I guess we could stay just a biiit longer, but I would rather get back on the road sooner rather than later"

"I really enjoyed my music lesson, and I am a big fan.". Mica praised the Kricketot softly. "Donovan would it be right to take him along and leave this poor Combee and that leafbug to fend for themselves?". She reached out to shake one of the Kricketot's little hands. " I mean, if you want to go anyway... I really love to learn."

The berry seems to take an awfully long time to look at the Pokéball, before jabbering disdainfully, and then tapping it. It quickly gets engulfed, the ball chiming shut. You caught a Bounsweetsassy! Level: 7 Gender: Female Nature: Sassy Ability: Oblivious Moves: Splash, Play Nice The Kricketot looks at the much larger hand warily, before putting its tiny appendage on top. It seems a little bit worried that it might get flung around, or something. There's some interest in its eyes, though.

A large grin passes over Donovan as the Grass type accepts his offer "Wonderful. I'm glad to have you on the team...Berry" he says with a smirk
As Mica pointed out how defenseless the other two Pokemon would be, Donovan ran his hands though his hair and sighed, before placing a finger on his lips and letting out a somewhat loud 'hmmmm'
"You know, it's still strange to me that there's a Combee here all by itself. Most of the time they travel in at minimum pairs, and especially Males wouldn't be out on their own. I'm guessing his hive isn' too far from here and he's just here because of that" He points at the Berry bush before walking over and plucking one of the Berries "I'm guessing this is why they're all here."

Mica gently moved her hand up and down to offer the Kricketot a measure of bargain without making it uncomfortable. As a gentlebug he was respectable and not at all the rough type, she understood that! Producing a Pokéball, she set it on the ground beside it.
"I promise to be a good student, I really do want to learn, but I can't stay here to school with you. Spot could use another bug type to look up to, if you'll have us?"

The other Bug types watch on with some clear anxiety as the Kricketot considers the offer, before gently tapping the ball and being engulfed inside. The sphere shakes for a few moments, as though indecisive, before pinging shut. You caught a Kricketot! Level: 8 Gender: Female Nature: Docile Ability: Run Away Moves: Bide, Growl Donovan also gets a Oran Berry.

Tossing the Oran Berry up and down in his hand, Donovan looked over to the Combee "I'm not sure why you're out here on your own, but if you want, you can stick around us until you find another hive. I promise that I'll do my best to keep you safe in the meantime." He shrugged "If you want that is"
Turning to Mica "That just leaves the Burmy without an offer, so I'll leave that one up to you"

"It would be really rude to ask everyone else to come along and exclude a bushbug! Bushes are where you find most Pokemon, so a bushbug is practically the heart of the party! I will call it Bermuda and it will be my friend too. We can hang from things, and eat things, and do things, it'll be great!" She scooched over beside the Burmy. "Would you like that?"

The Combee buzzes over to Donovan happily, circling around him. It seems eager to go along, especially after all the other Pokémon started disappearing. The Burmy, on the other hand, just looks up at Mica, and looks her over. It seems to take a bit to understand the actions of the peculiar human, but, afterwards, it scootches itself towards her in its equally peculiar way. The face almost concealed by leaves glances up at her, and nods. You caught a Burmy! Level: 8 Gender: Male Nature: Lax Ability: Quick Cloak Move: Protect

Donovan nodded in satisfaction, the Combee hovering around his head, and offered a hand to Mica "Now that we've made some new friends, are you ready to get going? We've got a long road ahead of us"

"Mmhmm!". She hummed childishly, taking the effeminate boy's hand and rising to greet the road again with her bright eyes. She had done a lot in only a short time, and was excited for even more going forward.
