"Oh, heh. Okay, let's uh, let's do this!"

Ellix was feeling very motivated now that they were leaving his hometown. His grudge against it had clouded his judgment, most indeed, so it was a relief for him to leave. Route 30 was their next step, but neither one had any plans to stop unless they discovered a new Pokémon that either of them wanted to catch.

The route was very much a directed, enchanted forest, and although enigmatic, it was also very quite daunting to wade through at night, which it now was. Looking straight ahead, Ellix could see that the woods got dark very quickly, but something about it lured them into its pulsing heart. How could he resist such a temptation when Violet City was on the other side? The slightly unnerving ballad of hooting Noctowl and chirping Spinarak called out to them, as nighttime came, the route awoke, still steeped in noise and activity.

"Okay, my next question is this: if you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?"

Though it hadn't rained, it smelt like it had. The woody incense made the route reek of age, in a very refreshing and sensual way. The composting, organic scent rose up in waves like a miasma. Every sprawling tree that he passed under reminded him of a watchful guardian protecting the groves in silence. He wondered if there were Pokémon that were like that too. The farther in that he led, the more mysterious the route felt, and although Route 29 was little more than a wooded pass-through, for some reason, Route 30 was lot more mysterious to him, this time it felt like his adventure had begun.

[ You rolled the Pokémon, fyi. It was Ambipom. ]

(Oh. WELL. Stop it, Jakk. Hmmm, I'd rather him miss catching this one, maybe? Ambipom seem rather strong in comparison, or maybe it could KO one/both of Jakk's Pokémon and Ellix can catch it? What think you?)

Jakk inhaled deeply as they trekked out of Cherrygrove and into Route 30. Now it really felt as if the journey had begun. Cherrygrove had been so close and, in fact, Jakk had visited it more than once before, that it hadn't really felt like they'd begun their journey until now.

The questioning call of the Noctowl rythmatically resonating through the air was comforting, welcoming in the dusk and start of evening. Jakk smiled as there was a burst of wings and the sound of feathers beating air and a Noctowl soared up from a tree and off into the growing dark. the glow of lights behind them ebbed, and the pinpoint of the few cottages on the road was the only light that washed over Route 30.

Jakk could barely slow his feet to a walking pace at the thought of all the delicious twists and turns that this route took. It truly was one of the first legs of the journey. He felt giddy at the fact that he was truly now on a journey... and with likable company to boot.

So when Ellix posed the new question, Jakk took a moment to respond, still enthralled in the wildlife around him.

"Hmm? ...Oh! Hmmm..."

The brunette haired boy looked ponderous for a second.

"Ugh, that's a hard question. I really don't know. Rice? Eggs, maybe? Or Iapapas... they're really good snacks, breakfasts... everything. What would you choose?

[ Ugh, I really don't mind on this one. I don't want you to feel like I mind not catching another Pokémon, because I don't, and neither will El. It's up to you though. We could double battle it and you catch it, because Lady P/Furra/Cynda couldn't manage it alone? I'd feel better if you'd take it, but if you don't want to, that's fine. <3 Also, lol the IP difference omg. ]

The further they went, the more mystical and spellbinding it became. Massive roots spread-eagled on the ground, twisting like the vines of a Tangela. The foliage became thick and lush, forming an arch of fairy tale green above their heads. Crusted boughs, gnarled over the years, dropped their hoard of bluk berries onto the path. Briars, brambles and more berry trees flanked the trail, making it impenetrable on both sides. Shuffling noises came from deep in the interior, deadened by the cunningly woven web of leaves. A troupe of shambling Aipom crossed the winding route in front of them at one point, but finished their foraging before glancing at them momentarily, and disappearing into the dark.

"Iapapas? I don't even know what one of those is. But eggs are amazing, and rice is great too. Hmmm... if I had to live on something it'd probably be aguav. Though, I do love liechi, mago and oran. I pretty much love my berries."

They arrived at a large glade opening, where the trees fell away, revealing both the bespeckled sky and, ahead of them, the opening passage to an intimidating cave that both of them had discussed at length before arriving. Mutually, the duo had decided that the Dark Cave was not for them to venture to just yet, but had plans to return to another day, when they were more initiated and readied for it. For now, that adventure would have to wait. Prepared to continue, Ellix stopped in his tracks and looked to his left with slightly squinted eyes. He could've sworn he heard something.

"Berries are amazing, to be fair. Me and my parents took a trip to the orchards out in the country once, the smell of them was so thick you could cut the air. It was amazing. I loved it so much and it literally made your mouth water."

As they entered the glade where the entrance to Dark Cave was visible, Jakk slowed beside Ellix and peered around the area. Mentally, Jakk decided he'd make not of telling Ellix he'd prefer skipping Dark Cave for another day. After all, it was already dark out here, he didn't want to imagine how dark a place known as "Dark Cave" could be.

But then the grass at the fringe of the forest rustled and a bright purple monkey leaped towards them, its twin pawed tails propelling it forward. It stopped before them and let out a cry of challenge and very nearly leaped threateningly at Ellix.

Jakk bristled at the movement and the threat... and stepped forward.

"Hey, hey, don't get your tails in a knot."

With that, the monkey called at them. "Ambi!!!" Then it beat upon it's chest with it's paw.

Jakk frowned at first, then smiled at Ellix. "Want to double battle it? I think it's looking for a challenge."

The Ambipom bounced out of the undergrowth with a rather menacing look on its face. Ellix was startled by it to the extent that he almost lost his footing and toppled over, but he managed to successfully retain his balance, in which time Jakk had already stepped up to the mark and down talked the Pokémon.

It looked at the duo with a furrowed brow and let out aggressive-sounding cries. Jakk offered Ellix a double battle, and how could he refuse? After all, this would be the first time they fought together. Ellix gave him a firm and ready nod.

"You got it. Let's take this thing down. Lady P? Let's go! Use Tackle!"

With a roaring eccentricity, the elegant and dainty lady leapt forth with an unseen ferociousness, lunging her entire body at the significantly larger Pokémon.

For a moment, Jakk considered using Furra, just to let the Furret stretch its legs... but before he could think, Cynda had bounded forward next to Lady Passionfruit, joining her ally in the fight. Smiling, Jakk nodded. It was only right that they both use their starters together, after all.

So Jakk called an order. "Cynda, use Ember!"

The Cyndaquil glanced back at him and nodded then hopped forward again to stay a good bit away from the Chikorita and avoid hurting her with the flames. Cynda's fire kicked up and a number of small Embers soared forward to strike the Ambipom, which was already attempting to dodge the tackle unsuccessfully.

As such, the monkey toppled backwards onto its rear and was successfully peppered with fire... Which in turn caused it to leap up and strike both of the two smaller Pokémon with a Double Hit, his hands shooting forward to attempt to strike them.

Lady Passionfruit lunged forth with all her effort, shoving her entire body at the Ambipom, but it promptly bashed her in the face with a tail fist. She hurtled backwards through the air near enough to where she started, but successfully landed on her feet again like an elegant petal. Despite her distaste at being punched in the face, she managed to retain her composure very well and then continued on the attack, having managed to be completely out of the scope when Cynda was using Ember.

The Ambipom was slightly weakened by this, but Lady P was sure she could be of more help if she left Cynda to take on the physical attacking while she stood back and...

"Lady Passionfruit, be careful of Cynda, but use your Poison Powder!"

The Chikorita piqued up and raised her leaf, as though using it to hear better, gave a short nod and began to expulse a compact, purple-coloured powder from the ringlet around her neck.

"Chikoriiii!"

The Ambipom was greatly peeved when the Embers burned him and he jumped up and forward directly into the PoisonPowder as it floated down to nestle onto his fur. Letting out a screech of anger, he hopped about, attempting to brush the small spores off. The action succeeded only in mussing them into further into his coat.

In lieu of the Ambipom attacking, Jakk took advantage of the creature's distraction. It would be better to have Cynda strive off and attack now while the critter was trying to clean itself of the poison, he thought.

"Cynda! Tackle!"

The Cyndaquil puffed her chest out in bravery and trekked forward at a jog before lunging fully into the monkey. It sent them both sprawling, Cynda toppling off of the monkey and landing plum behind it on her little rump. The echidna shook her head from the jumble and stood back up, snorting in victory.

The monkey, meanwhile, was sprawled on the ground, his eyes spinning from the sudden onslaught of two Pokémon against one.

Lady Passionfruit, elegant in her ferocity, plunged her entirety at the Ambipom once more. She hit it with such force that it ran off into the forest and never, ever, ever returned. There were some brief moments wherein the group cheered and congratulated each other on the besting of a creature much stronger than their own Pokémon, but it soon subsided, and they continued up the path.

Before long, they had, as they had hoped to do before nightfall set in, reached the gate to Violet City. Ellix wasn't all that tired, but he was getting a bit chilly and was ready to find someplace warmer and somewhat more relaxed. He wasn't sure what Jakk wanted to do or whether he had many plans, but Ellix knew there was a gym in this town and he was desperate to the get the badge. He also wanted to visit the Sprout Tower if he could, and the school, just for a look around.
