Bathory flinched, stiffening as a sensation flooded over her. An aura... someone was in trouble. She looked at the Vibrava in front of her, hand still held out in waiting, and sighed. "I'm sorry... I need to go. Stay here and... collect sticks. Pile them over there, okay? My partner should be back soon with food." With that, she raced away, running on long, elegant legs toward the beach. She managed to skirt right around Poacher and his group, who was by now well into the trees, and she slid to a halt in the sand as she searched for the source of the pained aura. There, a spot of blue in the sand, lay the Riolu who had summoned her. Her immense Psychic powers had allowed her to pick up the feeling from so far away, and she was panting with the effort it took to keep going. She was tired, hungry, but her instincts drove her on as she hovered her hand above the Riolu's chest and sent out a Heal Pulse. She dropped to her knees, ready to be eye to eye with the smaller Pokémon...

Trick | Murkrow | Lv. 24 | Male | Mentions: Beach group

Trick could barely look around, but he could clearly see the other pokemon gathering around him. He wanted to scream and flap and yell at them to get away, but he was sorta stuck for the moment. What was this about giving him a berry? He felt the trickle of berry juice flow into his partially open beak, recognizing the spicy taste of a Cheri Berry. And just like that, he was affected by paralyze no more. Trick ruffled his feathers and bounced up to his feet, flapping in annoyance. "What's the big idea?" he crowed. "It's not--" his remaining words were cut off as the large Zangoose tossed him a handful of small oran berries. Trick wasn't really sure what to think of this. They attacked him, paralyzed him, and then cured him? None of it made any sense to him. Cautiously he poked at one with the tip of his wing, and when it didn't explode, he turned and glared daggers at the Zangoose. That Spark had really hurt him, and the Oran berries would help a lot to regain the strength he had lost. Reluctantly he scooped a few up in his beak. He started to say something with his mouth full, but the Zangoose interrupted him again, telling him to be wary of his prey. Trick made an awkward coughing sound before spitting back, "Hah! Like I would ever worry! It's not my concern who would be weak enough to let themselves become prey in the first place. Maybe it's you who should be the one to be more careful." Trick was all talk, being of significantly lower level than pretty much everyone involved here. But before they could test those big words, the Murkrow was up and flying away back closer to the center of the island.

Martin | *Vibrava* | Lv. 37 | Male | Mentions: Bathory, Abby

"Hm?" Martin asked, swiveling his head this way and that when the Gardevoir mentioned his Dragon Breath not having an affect on her. "Oh! That's right, I forgot you Gardevoirs are Fairy types. Hey, what're you doing?" He turned, following her rushing movement with his whole body. No way he was going to be left here alone! Martin zoomed along behind her, the speed of his wing beats kicking up all sorts of dust and leaves as he flew past the gathering near the beach without noticing them at all. What he did notice was the Gardevoir knelt over another pokemon. He was beside her. "Hey, who's this? Do you know her? How did you know she was here?" he asked in that too-fast voice.

Gracidea | Deerling | Lv. 12 | Female | Mentions: Victoria

Well, Gracidea decided, she couldn't just stand here and snivel all day, no matter how much she wanted to. On awkward legs she climbed off of the beach and onto more solid ground beneath the shade of some trees. She let out a contented sigh. Being a Grass type, she was more at home around sturdy, growing things. Still, she had to be cautious. There was no telling what other sorts of pokemon were on this island, if any. She didn't make much noise as she walked, keeping her head low and sniffing for any sorts of berries she could eat. When she stuck her head through a bush, Gracidea was quite surprised to find a very ragged looking Meowth on the other side. She let out a startled cry, falling back onto her rear, again on the opposite side of the bush from the strange Meowth.

((Gonna let the others respond before I respond with Poacher))

Bathory shook her head. "No, I've never met her before. But her aura... she let out an aura wave, and I could feel her pain." She daintily picked up the Riolu and turned to walk back toward the camp, her legs quivering with each step. "The poor dear..." It wasn't like Bathory to be concerned for the well-being of another Pokémon, but she had felt this one's pain right down to her soul, as though it was her own.

Victory arched her back with a vicious hiss, snarling and lashing her tail. What was that thing?! She waited to see if it would attack, and when it didn't she stepped through the bush, claws out and ready. "Who goes there?" Really? Who goes there? She wanted to roll her eyes at her own choice of words, but instead she snarled at the grass type. Obviously grass type, obviously scared, and obviously not a threat. She put her claws away, but kept the snarl, feeling defensive after the surprise she got.

Little Spark//Plusle//Male//Lv. 30

Looking gratefully to both Poacher and the Rosalia, Little Spark turned to watch the Murkrow. Laughing silently at the dramatic bird, Little Spark looked at Poacher and smiled shyly. He wasn't used to being praised, on the contrary he was normally insulted. Pointing at the berries they had collected he then pointed at the sky, trying to tell them they should find the refuge Poacher's partner was doing. 'Truly, this thing of not being able to talk is so tiring some times' Lightly scratching his scars,unconsciously bringing attention to them, he pressed his paw on them 'I should have done more than just using Thunder on that mutt's ass'

Abby | Riolu | Female | Lvl 37| Mentions: Bathory Martin |

Abby let out a small grunt as she started to regain consciousness, she felt a lot better than before but how?...Maybe someone felt her aura wave and helped heal her up? At least that was her guess.Fully paying attention know The Riolu could feel herself being carried and being moved to another location,wanting to see her savior she gently opened her eyes.It took a second for her vision to focus but when it did she saw a Gardevoir carrying her and a Vibrava flying somewhat above her."H-hello, who are you and where are we headed?" she asked,her voice a bit hoarse

Poacher smiled at the Plusle, pointing forward to show that they were close now. He placed a clawed hand up to his forehead to shield his eyes from the dying light, seeing into the distance. "We're close, but I don't see the shelter... I figured she'd be done by now..." For that matter, he couldn't smell her, either. What was with that? Where could she have gone? "Bathory! I, uh... I brought company!" He shouted out, ears twitching as he waited for a response.

"We're going somewhere safe, I promise." Bathory hid her exhaustion, picking up her pace. She heard a shout, and lifted her head to see a familiar ivory and crimson shape, along with several less familiar ones. She sighed, shaking her head as she silently came up behind the group. "So did I, Poacher." She stated simply, stepping up to the half-formed shelter and laying the Riolu down on a bed of moss and leaves. "Don't try to move. You seem to have hurt your head." She cooed once more at the smaller Pokémon, but her tone turned sharp in a heartbeat as she rounded on her friend, arms now free. "What is all this? It's going to take me ages to make a shelter large enough to-"
She never got to finish her tirade, as Poacher held out a pawful of chesto and leppa berries. After casting him a hard glare, she snatched up the morsels and turned away to eat them, away from prying eyes of other 'mons. After finishing off her friend's peace offering, she turned back toward the group with brighter eyes, her entire form radiating strength. "Fine. But I'm still mad at you. Give this little Riolu a few oran berries, and the Vibrava as well. She's injured, and he's... helping me..." She set back to work, sticks and vines now dancing every which way, held aloft by her replenished Psychic powers.

Tacota | Growlithe | Male | Lvl 39 | Mentions: Poacher & Little Spark|

After the drama of the day with the Murkrow, Tacota decided to follow behind Poacher and the little Plusle, he needed to be healed but then he'd be heading right back out, day or night to find his friends. 'Poacher are you sure your friend will not mind healing me?' He asked, carefully looking around, 'I wont be able to stay too long, I need to find my friends and try and work out what is going on here.' (Short)

Max | Riolu | Male | Lvl 8 | Mentions: Keeda |

Each moment that passed the little Riolu Max trusted Keeda more and more, perhaps it was her striking resemblance to his friend or perhaps it was just because she was kind. He kept a paw gently on her cheek as he listened to her confirming that she was also very astute. 'Yah Taco.' He said nodding his little muzzle, 'you 'ave Taco?' He tried to ask, he wanted to know if she had friends or family or if she was alone too. As the sun began to set in the trees behind them the sky out in the ocean began to turn an inky purple, Max was become more and more worried about his friends. Perhaps Taco could be Keedas friend too! Perhaps Keeda could join them all? The thought made him smile, he could have two fluffy warm Growlithes to curl up to.

Abby | Riolu | Female | Lvl 37| Mentions: The entire group|

Abby followed her instructions an laid there but she felt guilty, sure she was injured but she felt good enough to at least try and help, after she needed to thank her someway for rescuing her. "A-Are you sure miss? I can try to help if you needed it" Against her better judgment she sat up and the world began to spin a little, immediately she held her head regretting sitting up and gently laid back down. "O-ok maybe not" she shyly admitted "I still need to thank you some way" Her eyes looked at the group of unfamiliar pokemon and she felt herself becoming shy and looked away not feeling as comfortable as before, what if they judged her as a free loader for not helping she didn't want that. Abby started todebate with herself wither to help or not.

Bathory waved her hand at the little Riolu. "Nonsense. If you wish to help, then stay put and get better. You're no use to anyone on your condition, and pushing yourself will only make it worse." She lifted up another huge number of sticks, logs and vines, finishing up a good chunk of the shelter in one go. "You, Growlithe. You say you need healing?" She glanced back at Tacota, her hands still up as she worked to expand her original blueprint in order to fit their new guests.

Poacher nodded at Tacota's question, sure that Bathory would help, before he knelt beside the Riolu. Digging into his scarf/pack, he pulled out several more oran berries and set them beside the injured 'mon. "Here ya go. She's right, you need to rest. Don't worry about paying anyone back. We just wanna see you healthy, okay?" He gave her a sweet, kindhearted grin before he held out a few random berries, mostly the kind they made Pokéblocks with, for the Vibrava. He loved being surrounded by so many Pokémon, it made him feel like he was back with his team again. Cassidy, Gulliver, Axel, even baby Nadrox... He felt a tear spring forth from his eye, and he wiped it away before anyone could see...

Quicksilver||*Ponyta*||Female||Level 25||Mentions:Swipe

Silver followed Swipe back to his shelter, and waited outside while he went to get the berries. Once he returned, a few berries in his arms, she ducked her head in a thanks. She quickly scarfed the food down, and when her hunger subsided, she sat down. "Thanks again, I probably would have been wandering around the woods for hours if you hadn't helped me."

Kurama||Ninetales||Male||Level 45||Mentions: Beach group

Kurama watched the Murkrow take flight, then stood. It seemed as if the group was leaving. While he would have rather slept on his own, he followed them. "Safety in numbers I suppose." He mumbled once they had reached the destination.

Sunny||Rosalia||Female||Level 15||Mentions:Beach group

The Rosalia was glad that she had been able to help, but the Murkrow quickly flew away. She watched him fly fro a moment, before racing to catch up with the group.

Little Spark//Plusle//Male//Lv. 30

Little Spark managed to see Poacher's tear, frowning he shuffled close to Poacher. Poking him, he smiled up at him and hugged him. Staying there he looked at the Gardevoir, Bathory, she was quite talented and probably powerful too. Turning towards the Growlithe he pressed himself a little closer towards Poacher, Little Spark didn't meant to be rude but he was still scared of Growlithes. Once again scratching his scars he sighed, his old trainer and his pokemons had made him scared of a whole species, luckily he didn't have anything against Arcanines. Ven was to thank for that, the Arcanine had always cared for him and Little Spark would always be grateful for that.

Swipe shrugged, waving away the equine 'mon's thanks. "Eh, don't mention it." He sat cross-legged on the ground in front of his den, guarding it. He didn't suspect that the Ponyta would hurt the egg, but... He couldn't be too sure. Glancing back, he assured that the azure egg was still in its warm nest of moss and dead leaves, before he turned back to the shiny 'mon. "Look, I ain't a charity. And... I don't do crowds. But... If ya happen to be passin' through again, I might could use a favor or two. Ya know, in return for the food and stuff." He was obviously, painfully bad at talking with other Pokémon, having been alone for so long. He messed with the rips in his long, feather-like ear, remembering the last time he had spent a lot of time with a group of 'mons...

Keeda//Growlithe//Mentions: Max

Keeda figured she had guessed correctly when Riolu nodded his head, enjoying the warmth from his paw seeping into the cream colored fur of her cheek. Having been raised in the police force then later by a disgusting 'trainer', she had rarely ever laid eyes on a baby pokemon never mind interacted with one, so this was a brand new experience for her. Tilting her head slightly to the side, she tried tried to understand what Riolu was asking her now. You have Taco? Is he perhaps asking me if I know where Taco is? She wasn't quite sure so she attempted to respond the best she could. "No I haven't seen your Taco, but I am travelling with my friends Gaara and Levi." Glancing around, she spotted the two males not too far off, the waning sunlight casting shadows among them causing Garra's flames to blaze brighter. "Ah! There they are!" She pointed with her paw in their direction. Turning her gaze back to Riolu, she studied his reaction to the presence of the other pokemon, not wanting to overwhelm him if she signaled them over. She was already feeling tendrils of attachment towards this young and very sweet pokemon, a rare occurance for her considering she just met him, and decided right there and then that she would protect him until they found his so called 'Taco'.

Poacher sniffled, giving the little Plusle a gentle hug before turning to a spot on the ground, lifted by a platform of sticks and leaves. He dumped the contents of his makeshift bag out onto it, then wrapped the scarf back around his tail. "Bathory, it'll go faster if you let some of them help. I'm... gonna scout around a bit. See if there's anything useful nearby..." He leaped up and clung to the trunk of a tree, shuffling up quickly. His speed was blinding, and when he pushed himself with a Quick Attack he was up the entire length of the massive oak in the blink of an eye. Scanning the horizon, he spotted a few things that caught his interest. A stream flowing not too far off, several more fruit trees and berry bushes, and a great many possible den sites he could show to the others.

Roman lumbered behind, following Poacher to wherever his partner apparently was. Oh, hey, a gardevoir. Haven't seen those around. Then again, she did generally stick to the rockier areas of the island. (There were quite a few tasty critters in the mountains.) "Hello! I'm Roman," the charizard greeted, waving a hand.
