    “It should be no more than an hour from now before we get close,” Wick said leading his party of Pokémon through the forest.

    [An hour?] Casper complained as he followed behind the rest, [It's been three hours already!]

    Bella placed a hand on his shoulder, [It’s okay, Casper. We haven’t gone for a good hike in a long while.]

    [We normally travel with Harmony though,] Casper replied with a deadpan stare. [Why don’t these woods have a river that lead to where we need to go?]

    “Don’t complain,” Wick said after he heard the translation from Grace, [It’s not every day that we get to help fellow explorers. Just think of this as an equal opportunity adventure.”

    [Equal opportunity my gemstone hide,] he replied. [They send rookies to find an expert when they should have done the opposite. Now they had to go and ask for backup to help out the backup in finishing their jobs. Poor explorers indeed. I bet they wouldn’t last an hour in the Labyrinth.]

    [Maybe so, but they did say that they would learn,] Renki commented as he passed his fellow explorer. [Perhaps they will improve at some point so that they can challenge the Pristine Woods at the very least.]

    [But haven’t we failed to press pass the woodlands ourselves?] Bella pointed out as Grace translated the conversation back to their trainer.

    “Katie did mention something about being able to track the Sceptile down now,” Grace said looking back at them.

    [Maybe so,] Casper replied, [But this is still a Sceptile, and one that isn’t playing nice. I think I overheard something about it being a chimera.]

    “That’s true,” Wick replied as he took the moment to look over his team. “Reports state that it is part bisharp and garchomp as well as sceptile. I just wished we didn’t risk so much to get that information. Three teams are out of action because of him on top of all the lumber crews that he attacked.”

    [I hope my father and Katie has something planned soon,] Renki stated, [As it is now, none of the lumberjacks want to return to work. While we aren’t in the need of anymore builds as of late. Without lumber, we can’t cook the meals or fuel the forge.]

    With a sigh, the commonborne replied, “I’m aware of the problem that we face. I promised myself that if we are unable to handle this problem, I will send out a message to rest of the kingdoms for help. I am sure there are plenty of stronger nobles out there who would be willing to lend a hand.”

    [I sure hope so,] Bella replied before an idea jumped into her head. [Perhaps, if we do send out for help maybe I can perform my dance for them. Oh, maybe Kiki can join too.]

    Wick merely laughed. “Maybe when your daughter Donna evolves, she can join in too!”

    [Wick don’t give her ideas,] the sableye moaned as Bella started to rant on about her recital.

    TWACK! Bruuuuuuuc

    [What was that?] Renki asked looking up toward the cliff edge that ran through the woods.

    “That didn’t sound good,” Grace commented as she shied away from noise. The dull rumble continued to slowly get louder and louder.

    “Son of a houndour,” Wick stated before pointing away from the noise. “Make a run for it! It’s a landslide!” They didn’t have to be told twice as they ran off at once with the human right on their heels.

    There was little time for them to gain a lead when the first sign of the landslide appeared. A few rocks tumbled in striking the trunks around them. Most were splintered but those that stood firm collapsed under the weight of the mighty wave of earth.

    With his four legs, Renki had clearly outpaced the other with only Grace relatively close on his heels. Halting, his barked to shaymin, [Keep going!] She nodded continuing on with Wick right behind her.

    Timing it right, he was able to get back up to full speed as Casper and Bella started to pass them. [Get on!] he barked at them. Bella leaped onto his back and rode side saddle style throw the event while Casper wasn’t so lucky. Missing his first leap onto the alchemized umbreon, the ghost/dark Pokémon had to grab onto the draconic tail that he supported. Climbing the tail proved to be difficult as it whipped back and forth with Renki’s movements. With him on the end of the tail he became like a weighted ball on a chain, crashing into trees, brush and ground in the escape.

    As they began to pick up the pace and return to the lead, Grace started to fall behind. Her trainer though managed to pick her up and carry her as the landslide slowly subsided behind them.

    Once the soil had finally rested once more on level ground, the party took a break resting on the remains of a displaced oak tree. [That was probably the worst time of my life,] Casper commented as he took deep breaths.

    [I would rather not do that again myself,] Renki replied as he rested near Wick.

    After hearing the translation from his legendary Pokémon, Wick replied, “I agree. I wonder what caused it to happen.”

    [You think a wild Pokémon was targeting us on purpose?] Bella asked.

    “I hope not,” Grace replied, “we had the cover of the trees to prevent anyone up above from seeing us.”

    “She’s right,” Wick agreed, “I’m pretty sure that was just an accident. But still, it would be best to stay on lookout for any more accidents.”

    [Speaking of which,] the sableye spoke up looking around, [How far did we go off track?]

    After hearing the translation from Grace, the commonbrone dug out a map and began to look for landmarks. After locating one and spending twenty minutes calculating, he replied, “We have been push off by at least 2 hours’ worth of distance.”

    [What? How did we move off track so far!?] he complained.

    [Did you not pay attention to the humor in Wick’s voice?] the umbreon replied. Sure enough, the trainer was smirking wildly.

    [Oh you,] Casper replied pointing an angry finger at him as everyone else started to laugh.
