In the morning, a two Ponyta-pulled carriage rides up the road towards the Nirvana reserve. The hooves pound against the road, the decorated wagon wheels rolling away, as a man in a suit sat inside. His locked briefcase was sitting in his lap, a thin, wiry mustache above his lip and his short, graying hair slicked back.
Workers were attempting to repair the fence and the gate of the reserve, while one was tasked with painting the sign with a fresh coat of paint. The sign was temporarily taken down to make the task easier, five workers busy with repairs, while the other five tended to the Pokemon inside. They look on as the carriage rides up, slowing to a halt as the driver woah's the ponyta, "Hoy! Is the owner available? My passenger would like to speak with him."

They look on as the carriage rides up, slowing to a halt as the driver woah's the ponyta, "Hoy! Is the owner available? My passenger would like to speak with him."
The driver made a quirk of his face, dipping his head in response, "We was unaware of a change of the reigns. But thanks. Mwah!" He snapped at the ponyta, who stirred and snorted, pulling the carriage past the workers. Strolling along, it eventually slows to a stop as the driver woahs. Sitting back and sticking a pipe into his mouth, the driver knocked on the side of the carriage. The door opened and Mr. Grey Suit stepped out with his briefcase beside him.
Stepping into the visitor's center, Mr. Grey takes a look about as if he was judging something. The last thing he looked at was old man Lance, and in his eyes he saw him as an obstacle that should move itself along. As Titania entered, Mr. Grey had remained standing and offered his hand to shake, "You must be the owner of this reserve. You may call me Mr. Grey." A short pause before he continued, "I'm here today to grant you an offer to sell the Nirvana Reserve. With this financial decline that we've been in, it's only wise to get out ahead while you can."

A short pause before he continued, "I'm here today to grant you an offer to sell the Nirvana Reserve. With this financial decline that we've been in, it's only wise to get out ahead while you can."
Mr. Grey Suit stared at the younger trainer with such a piercing, yet neutral stare. He didn't smile, nor was his face distasteful towards her or the decor of the room. His handshake was firm and swift, his focus never on the act but rather on Titania's eyes. Settling his hands on the briefcase he held, the man gave a firm nod, "If that is your answer, I will accept that you have no intentions of selling it. However, I find it unwise to start your travels without this large boon in your wallet."
Offering a very short and business-like bow of his head, "But only time will tell if you made the better decision today. Good day." Mr. Grey Suit turned about and left the building without passing by the offered water. He closed the door behind him and returned to his carriage, "Take me to the ferry. My business here is done." The driver wiped at his forehead with his cap and gave a grunt, "You got it." The business man climbed into the carriage and it turned slowly, soon rolling out of the reserve's grounds and down the road.

0-10, Other. 11-50 Berries, 51-100 No Berries
The berry bushes just off the path looked inviting, but unfortunately most of the ripe berries had already been consumed by the roaming Pokemon. Finding their taste delicious, but only wanting to eat so many, the other berries left had small nibbles on them or were sprawled along the ground beneath the bushes, flattened by passing Pokemon.
The ground between the reserve and Whalerdrake was mostly flat land, unless one walked into the neighboring woods. However, a few bushes near the edge of the woods seemed to be bearing fruit. It's berries were ripe and plentiful. They were red with a green stripe near the stem and none of them seem to be bitten into or riddled with worms. There were roughly 8 of them altogether on the bush.

Travelling deeper into the woods with the berries in tow, Titania came across a recent forest bed. Most of the area was shielded by light trees, the area well insulated by the tall grass. In one of the beds, a wild Weedle stirred and prepared its horn upon taking notice of Titania. The bug Pokemon waved its small stinger threatening.

{Lagi could be given more complex orders with the command skill, such as to not wildly burn the area around the weedle. If he's not a recently caught Pokemon, it would be an easier command.}
The weedle pulls back and springs forth, pushing off of the grass floor to attempt to poke Lagi with its head-stinger. But the poor Pokemon misjudged her attack and ended up bumping herself against Lagi's chest harmlessly.

The weedle's soft belly was exposed to Lagi's attack, the well placed ember melting through her defenses. Squirming about, before fainting, the weedle went limp in the grass beneath her. The distant flock of Pidgeys and Tailows took flight from the forest line and the other sounds of the forest seemed to dim. A strange sound called out, drawn out for a while in a deep, guttural sound.

Trekking over fallen logs and through the tall grass, the trees became steadily thicker. The light that shone through the canopy dimmed, but the sounds of many Pokémon was growing. The tall grass parted to a large, old oak with twisting branches that must have been as thick as Titania herself. A Mankey was settled in the tree, angrily throwing fruit below, the berries splatting across the ground floor and along the roots of the tree.
Below, a group of colorful Flabebes swayed back and forth, collecting the berry pieces and eating them. A few Tailows pruned their feathers, sitting along the branches of the tree, and a Zigzagoon or two were sneaking pieces of fallen fruit and eating them away from the group of fairy Pokémon.

The Mankey ceased his throwing of the fruit and snapped his eyes to the human. With one small fist, he beat against his chest and started to climb down the massive tree. Meanwhile, the Tailows were busy singing to each other, until one of them was buffeted in the face. Most of the Tailows took flight and fled over the treeline, but one Tailow, probably the target's mate, became upset as well. Both birds flew downward to peck at Oberon.
But in their enraged state, their beaks only bit at the air around Oberon's ears, their small talons causing very minor scratches. But the first Tailow seemed uninjured from Oberon's attack, their energy focused on causing harm.

The mankey had loose footing and struggled to climb the tree safely. His leg slid along the bark and his eyes snapped to Oberon's waiting body below at the base of tree. He pumped himself up with heavy breathing and decided to leap off of the tree and land on the waiting Pokemon, his attack a wild flailing motion. But the intercepting, quick tackle caught the Mankey square in the stomach. The breath left his lungs and he slumped upon the ground, knocked out cold.
The second Tailow had stepped in front of the ember and took minor damage, as they continued their assault, but on Lagi instead. In the chaos, it was clear that the two Tailows had fought together before, but their exact relationship was unclear. The first Tailow was still frantically attacking around the Charmander, but the second looked to be in a good position to attack, leaving himself open as he clawed Lagi.
{Mankey 0/10 HP. Tailow 1 10/10 HP. Tailow 2 8/10 HP]

[Initiative is only needed to decide who goes first, in the first round. Defense rolls, however, are important! One defense roll for last round is needed, and one for this round, as -finally- the Tailow connected with their attack.]
The second Tailow moves in with his claws and beak to peck at Lagi, his beak sharp and his will strong. However, the other Tailow flaps for a bit, then flies away. The male Tailow turns his head and caws after her, but she was past the tree and kept flying. Oberon's wind brushed past a branch, a little ways away from the fleeing Tailow.
Distracted momentarily, the Tailow was hit in the chest with the charmander's fiery breath. Flailing about, the fire faded and the Tailow landed upon the ground, walking back and forth in front of Lagi. Then he stopped, lifting his beak to the charmander, and opened his wings up. He hopped forward and pecked at his nose.
Tailow: 5/10 hitpoints.

Lagi suffered one small scratch by the Tailow's prior-to-last attack, but the wound was hardly noticeable. The Tailow attempted to pick at the Charmander's tail, a dangerous game if it succeeded to engulf and extinguish it. But the Tailow just flapped its wings at the fiery tail, keeping just out of its reach.
That was until the poke-ball smacked into its side, "Ca-caww!" The Tailow froze and turned into a red beam of light as his energy was transferred into the poke ball. Rattling a bit, the poke-ball lay still. The other Pokemon had retreated out of sight during the fight.

The nearest berries were already picked clean or smashed into the dirt. There were the berries in the top of the tree. But the path that she had traversed the first time was still available, and there were some bushes that held different looking berries. There were also completely full berry bushes that bore the same looking fruit that she had collected before.
The sounds of the forest slowly dimmed, however, to where there was only a stray chirp or growl every so often. Some people were talking loudly, but their voices were far away, too quiet to be understood.

Two men's voices could be over heard, their forms slowly coming into view. But under the canopy's failing light, it was hard to tell what they were facing. It looked like a crate..
"Wot do you suppose the boss wants with it, eh?" said one. The other shook his head, checking on his arm, "Don't know, but it bit me. Might hafta get it looked at." The crate shook a bit and emitted unfamiliar growls and hisses. When Titania moved closer, the large, red R on their uniforms was visible, their black caps and whips at their side outlined in the setting sun.

The two rockets were busy talking while Titania formed her battle plan. After the Charmander was released and ordered, he opened his maw and shot out a small black pellet that collided into the tree past the two rockets. Both looked up towards the smoke as it collected, confused more than affected by it. Then Oberon rushes from the woods and the Rockets jumped just out of its reach, one of them grabbing for his Pokeball, “Damn wild things! Get ‘em!”
The two pokemon kept the rockets from noticing Titania, but she had snuck past the corner of their vision. With no effective smokescreen cover, she was very lucky. The rocket with the pokeball managed to flail about and pat his clothes down, as Lagi erupted flames at him. A Voltorb appeared, while the other grabbed the club at his side.
The lock on the cage was a little more complex than a latch and was easily unlocked by pushing two knobs inwards.

One of the Rockets, the one with the club, lifted his weapon high. But he stopped and turned his head when the terrible screech of the trapped Pokemon erupted from the cage. Flying straight outward, it flapped its dark wings. It appeared to be a Rufflet, but its wings were dark and flowed with an unnatural purple essence. Its feathers were all pitch black, and it gave another screech, before flying off into the woods.
The Rocket with the Pokeball pointed to Oberon, "Zap 'em!" As the voltorb whirred into action, it gathered energy. About the same time, the Rocket noticed someone in the corner of his eye and turned to look when Titania's fist collided into his cheek, "Ugh!" Stumbling back, he wiped the blood off of his lip, "Nevermind the stray, zap the girl!" The voltorb turned around to face Titania, sending its electric energy her way, but Oberon's quickness put him between the two, intercepting the attack.
The club Rocket cursed under his breath and held a hand to ward off the flames, moving in to strike at the charmander with a very heavy swing, "Get outta my way!"
