[REWIND... You were supposed to step by step mention once you
made it to the foot of the bridge- there are FIVE trainers to
battle! Sorry I didn't mention it, just... roll with it
please?]
(Emika is at the foot of the bridge, looking at the daunting task
of running through all of those trainers, when she stumbles across
something in the grass- two *empty* pokeballs! now she can
strengthen up her team before she crosses the bridge, or just head
across now- choice is yours!]
[There is a smaller patch of tall grass on this side of
the bridge...]
(A wild [but friendly towards Eris] Drifblim walks by. She is a
familiar sight, but Eris hasn't seen her in a while [I am now
making up lore to fill in a patch of time before I can CENSORED
FOR FUTURE USE]. Eris then notices that a tiny Drifloon is
now following her- someone who had never been there before)
[Sorry about the random lore/characters. It ake time to set a
story into motion, you know?]

Emika took up the two empty Pokeballs, surprised to find something
so soon. She looked across the bridge, seeing the multitude of
trainers, and frowned. She knew Eevee would most likely not be
strong enough to defeat all of them alone. She decided. She
wandered in the grass just before the bridge, in search of more
Pokemon partners and some battle experience for her Pokemon...
Eris waves at the Drifblim politely. She hadn't seen her for a
while. She soon noticed the small Drifloon following the Drifblim
and is immediately curious. She hadn't seen that little Pokemon
before. Who was it?
In the cave the Venusaur, Ponyta, and Flabebe are now all awake,
and aware that Storm vanished
"Should we go after her?" Honey sighs, "This is the third time
she's tried something like this..."
Brittany lays nestled on Kai's back. "I say let her suffer the
consequinces this time." The little Flabebe may seem cute, but she
did have a... darker streak.
Kai sighs. "You know, you guys have a point. I'll give her 3 hours
on her own and then I'll go find her."
The 3 were concerned for their friend, but Storm was not going to
stay in the safety of the clearing. If she wasn't going to learn
through instruction, she was going to have to learn from experince.
Emika and Eevee began to wander through the grass before the
bridge, looking for random Pokemon to either battle till faint or
to catch...
Eris's curiosity got the best of her and she floated towards the
Drifloon, hoping to maybe get to know the new Pokemon or even make
friends with them???
"We should split up," Amethyst suggested. Midnight nodded in
agreement and they went their separate ways. Amethyst went towards
the shoreline, while Midnight went towards the desert.
Topaz was running through the woods, giggling and having a lot of
fun.
Emika runs into a wild Caterpie
(Drifloon looks at Eris, unsure what to think, and then suddenly,
hugs her.)
DRIFBLIM: *laughs* That's my little girl!
(DRIFBLIM explains to Eris that she has been missing because she
was raising the little Drifloon, who is now able to run outside
without fear.)

Emika frowned at the Caterpie. She briefly considered just fainting
it and being done with it, only to pause. An underestimated Pokemon
Caterpie was. Wouldn't that throw people off if she had a powerful
Caterpie/Metapod/Butterfree. She nodded to herself, decision made.
She called to Eevee, "Eevee, take the stage!" Wow where did she
come up with that?? She brushed the thought aside as her Eevee
leapt forth and called out to the Caterpie, challenging it.
Eris was amazed. Her... acquaintance Drifblim had a hatchling! She
happily returned the hug of the little Drifloon. "She's such a cute
little one!" she complimented.
(Caterpie seizes its chance, using string shot to stick Eevee's
legs to the surrounding terrain)
DRIFBLIM: Awww, thanks! We were just going to find berries, wanna
come?

Emika steeled her gaze. "Eevee! Use your claws to tear the string.
Once you're free, use Tackle!"
Eris beamed. "Sure! It's always nice to hunt with company."
(Caterpie watches Eevee, and attempts to fling Eevee with sling
shot, but is moments too late... Caterpie still seems ready to keep
going, however.)
(Drifloon smiles, and the triad heads out)
[Where is everybody?

Emika smiled. A resilient Pokemon this Caterpie was. Seemed she
made the right call on her decision. She called out to Eevee,
"Avoid its String Shots and use Tackle again!" Eevee happily obeyed
its trainer.
Eris and the Drifblim/Drifloon duo headed towards the more densely
covered trees and bushes to find berries. (ikr? Where is everyone? It feels like it's been forever!)
Storm peeks around another tree, huffing in annoyance. This isn't
half as fun as she'd thought it would be. Where are all the Pokemon
she can lose to but I'm not ruining her fantasybeat? Maybe
she could leave the forest to look around more. Surely her friends
wouldn't be awake yet...
[Trying to remember where we are here... Anyone care to remind me?
Also, who is still actually going to rejoin the RP and how many
more peeps am I going to have to recruit?]
