"...Probably Flapple." You say after a moment's thought.

"I'll see if I have any Tart Apples when we make camp." Kathryn replies, giving you a nod.

You continue onward from there. The clouds stick around, but you're confident that today at least, should hold fair, considering Queenie doesn't seem worried.

As you make your way along the track, you take some time to just admire the scenery:

Lake Clarity is bordered by scrubby bushland, a lot like Route 1, except far lusher. There's a lot of variety in the pokemon you see as well as pokemon from all around make their way to the lake to drink.

The path is well maintained, but it looks like it might be a bit of an issue trying to find a campsite later on. It looks pretty dense off the path.

You take out your pokedex and take a look at a map of the route you're taking.

There're a few marked campsites along the trail, the closest of which you can make by nightfall, but with Holly, it'll probably be a bit tight.

Thus armed with a destination for the night, you go back to taking in the view and looking for pokemon.

There're the expected Magikarp jumping out of the water, along with Basculin. The water's deeper along this section of shoreline, so you can't make out any Clauncher now and the trees and brush have thinned out a little on your right. In the trees, you can see a flock of Starly and they fill the air with their warbling cries.

You keep walking and looking out at the lake for pokemon.

Holly follows your lead and initally gets excited at the splashing indicating something's there, but every time, it turns out to be a Basculin.

After an hour or so, the water becomes more shallow again and you begin to see Psyduck wading in the shallows and Poliwag swimming among patches of weed.

If there's anything else, it's hiding in amongst the grass, rocks and the occasional fallen log.

You're not especially interested in any of the pokemon you see here and it's a little early to be stopping for a break besides, so you keep walking and focus on making up ground for the time being, enjoying the scenery around the lake and the pleasant, late-autumn weather.

Out of an abundance of prudence, you check the forecast.

It seems there's a chance of rain tomorrow and the day after, but otherwise it should be fairly pleasant.

It's getting fairly close on towards lunch now and accoridng to your map, there should be a nice, sheltered cove you can stop for lunch at.

"Hey, Fie?" You ask as you pause to look in your pack at the egg in its incubator.

"What's up?" she asks as she pauses while you ascertain that the egg is okay and the incubator is working.

The egg moves occasionally, independent of your jostling the pack, which you take as a good sign, though, you've got no idea how close it is to hatching. It could hatch in a few hours, or a few days for all you know.

"Just wondering if you want to spar a bit when we break for lunch." You say as you do your pack up again.

"Well, your arm is basically back to how it should be." She admits. "And you don't need your arms for what you do..." She adds, clearly talking herself into it. "Sure. Be interesting to see if that dream was Holly hyping you up or not." She adds, poking you in the side as you start walking again.

"Well, maybe a little bit, but I'm no novice." You reply.

"Guess we'll see about that." Fie says.

You quickly catch up the rest of the group and focus on making some more distance.

Around midday, you come over a hill and see the cove that you intended to stop for lunch at...

And it's infested with Team Green grunts.

"More of these assholes?" Fie says, exasperated.

"What could those city slickers possibly be doing out here?" Martha says, scowling.

You decide to hang back and watch.

This wasn't how you planned to spend lunch, but then, you weren't planning on dealing with a bunch of fashion-challenged vegan extremists on this journey either.

Life has a way of throwing the unexpected at you, you guess.

Most of the grunts are just milling about.

A couple of them are committing petty vandalism to a park bench and a couple of what you assume passes for senior, responsible, grunts are restlessly checking their phones.

Eventually, as the hour mark passes, they seem to say screw it and start coming back up the path towards you, though they don't seem to have seen you yet.

Without really communicating, you all hurry off the road and into the brush to hide.

Unfortunately, it seems like this group are antsy and on the look out for a fight and they spot you immediately.

"Alright kiddies, hand over your pokemon and we'll let you go." One of the evident leaders of this group says as they all reach for their poke balls.

"Okay, one batch of these assholes was enough for one day." Martha says, before turning to you, Gareth and Holly. "You up for some more practice, or d'you want us to handle this and then we can go have lunch?" She asked.

"Go, Sage!" You say, releasing her as Gareth releases his Mienfoo.

Sage lands nimbly as the lead two grunts step forward and release a Poochyena and a Roselia respectively.

The leaf litter and underbrush is thankfully not tinder dry, but you're still wary of using any Fire-type moves off the path here.

Absently, you make a note to get a Water-type when you stop for lunch. Any Water-type, really.

"Mien, U-turn on Poochyena!" Gareth orders.

"Bite, Poochyena!" The left most of the lead Grunts says, jabbing a finger at Sage.

"Magical Leaf on Mienfoo, Roselia!" The other grunt says.

"Sage, Psybeam on Roselia you order.

What happens next is a confusion of movement:

Poochyena leaps at Sage and is intercepted by Mienfoo, which darts back to Gareth after hitting Poochyena with U-turn and staggering it so badly it loses all momentum and does nowhere near the damage its bite should have to Sage. Then, Gareth releases Druddigon, who is immediately peppered by Roselia's Magical Leaf.

Sage, who is easily the most inexperienced pokemon on the field at present, now that you've seen the others move, then nails Roselia with Psybeam knocking it back, though not putting it out of the fight, though it clearly felt that.

"Bite on that Fennekin, Poochyena!" The first Grunt orders.

"Roselia, Leech Seed Druddigon!" The second Grunt orders.

"Sage, Psybeam on Roselia again!" You order.

Once again, the exchange is Chaotic:

Druddigon rips into Poochyena and puts it out of the fight before it can move, before being peppered with Leech Seeds by Roselia, before Fennekin lands another Psybeam.

In the aftermath, Roselia is swaying and even with the bump of health from Leech Seed, a stiff breeze could knock it over.

It's tougher than you were expecting though, that's for sure.

"Sage, finish it, Psybeam!" You order.

Druddigon moves first again and glares at Roselia, making it hesitate in fear, giving Sage enough time to launch a third Psybeam and bowl it over.

The second grunt recalls her pokemon and moves to run as well.

Gareth gives you a thumbs up.

"If you'll excuse me..." Martha says, slipping past you as the pack of Team Green grunts tries to reorganise themselves. "Dragonair, Ice Beam, tie 'em up!" She orders and in response, her Dragonair sprays them with a beam of energy that flash-freezes the air around them, locking them all in a block of ice.

She recalls Dragonair, then Judy releases her Braviary.

"Sky Drop those Grunts on the road back to Newport, Braviary!" She calls as the huge bird pokemon circles.

In response, her Braviary swoops down and grabs the miniature ice berg, before taking off and quickly heading out of sight.

"Right, let's not go too overboard." Fie says.

"Yeah, no reason to risk an injury." You agree as you square up.

There's a beat, before Fie moves, aiming a kick at your ribs, which you side-step before ducking to go for a trip yourself, forcing Fie to jump, off balance to avoid being tripped, putting you firmly in control of the flow of the fight.

Fie definitely knows her stuff, since she maintains a good deal of pressure on you, even after you gained the initiative.

It's not enough though. Your fighting style trips her up constantly, leaving her wide open when you side-step or turn about, until you finally wind up tripping her and pinning her until she taps out.

"Huh. Not bad." Fie says as you help her up.

"I could say the same to you." You admit as you wipe your brow.

"We should do this more often. No such thing as too many sparring partners." Fie adds, rolling her neck.

You send a quick message to Detective Winters about the group of Team Green grunts you encountered and the Devon Scopes.

She's quick in replying.

If you have any of the packaging or better yet, any of the Scopes, hang onto them. They're evidence. I'm sending someone to collect it. It reads.

"Hey, just put all that in a plastic bag. Detective Winters is sending someone to pick it up." You call to Gareth, who's still collecting all the packaging.

"Got it." He calls, giving you a wave.

That taken care of, you look around, trying to decide what to do until Winter's officer arrives.

In record time, Volta and Sage have Protect down pat. It's actually kind of surprising.

Queenie isn't quite as quick on the uptake, but by the time half an hour has gone, she's made progress.

Meanwhile, you watch your pokemon practice and tap into the aura as you do, experimentally.

It's strange. You can see a shimmer in front of you and Gareth does a double-take at you more than once. You can feel... something, but you can't be sure that you're accomplishing anything, but you get the feeling this is definitely an experiment to revisit at a later date.

"Not bad, for half an hour's work." Kathryn says, giving you a thumb's up.

"Thanks." You reply, modestly.

"You want any help training, Holly?" You ask, looking to where she's training with Checkers and Cotton.

"Oh, um... n-no, it's alright." She assures, flailing for a moment. "Could you help me later though?" She asks. "I want to try and catch a Feebas.

You recall all of your team barring Sage and go down to the water's edge.

There's a few rocks off in the distance a ways that should make good targets.

"Okay Sage, see those rocks out there?" You ask, indicating.

She blinks up at you, before tilting her head as she examines them.

"I want you to use Ember and try and hit them." You say.

This is a bit of an ask, considering the distance involved and the relative power of Ember, but it should be good training trying to do this.

Sage nods, before she starts spitting little flames out at the rocks, casting reflections in the still water, next to you and her both.

Okay, roll me some dice.

Also, go check out Kitfox Crimson on Deviant Art. His Nuzlocke comics are fantastic and it's him we have to thank for this fine illustration of Alex.

Thing's start out well enough as Sage spits flames at the rocks, before she inhales at an inopportune moment and starts hiccuping.

She keeps going, trying to spit more flames, but her hiccups are precluding any real success.

"It's okay." You assure Sage as she continues to hiccup and puts paid to any more training in this vein.

Her ears and tail droops and you give her a scratch behind the ears to cheer her up.

It shouldn't be long now until the officer coming for the Devon Scope packaging shows up.

The only question is, whether you're going to do this by yourself, or make it a group activity.

You go over to where Jean is reading a pocket guide to paleaontology.

"Hey, what's up?" She asks, closing her book.

"Just wondering if you could help me teach Rusty Stealth Rock." You reply.

Jean grins.

"That sounds like a plan to me." She agrees, before coming to join you by the lake, releasing her Rampardos.

Obligingly, you release Rusty and the lesson begins.

Jean has Rampardos use Stealth Rock a few times to show him how it's done while she lectures you on how the move works and how to get the most out of it.

"Got all that?" She asks when she's done.

"Yeah, that's pretty straight forward." You admit.

You spend the next half an hour with Rusty practicing Stealth Rock under Jean's instruction.

You're just finishing up when there's a rush of air as a pokemon comes into land, along with a startled yell as the Braviary in question and its rider are pelted with little stones from your practice.

"Oh, Arceus, are you alright?" Jean asks in alarm, hurrying up as the riderbrushes himself off.

"Just fine." The officer replies irritably. "Which one of you decided it'd be a good idea to lay Stealth Rocks when you knew you'd have someone flying in to see you?" He asks, glowering around at everyone.

Jean looks like she's considering stepping forward and she definitely looks shamefaced.

"That was me." You say sheepishly. "I was teaching my Aron Stealth Rock." You explain.

The officer gives a heavy sigh as he looks at you tiredly.

"You should be more careful in future. Braviary and I could've been hurt badly." He admonishes.

You nod. It feels like the only safe option.

"Now, where's this evidence I'm supposed to pick up?" He asks.

"Just over here." You say, indicating the plastic bag Gareth and Holly have stuffed the Devon Scope packaging in.

"That the lot?" The officer asks.

"If that's everything then, I'll be off." The officer says, then pauses as he notes Jean cleaning up after having applied potion to his Braviary's scrapes and bruises. He gives her a nod of acknowledgement, then climbs onto Braviary's back. "You kids take care now. And be careful the next time you decide to do some training." He admonishes you.

"I will." You promise.

The next moment, he's away.

"Well. that's it then." Martha says. "Let's get going. If we dawdle any longer, we're not getting to the campsite before dark."

You wholeheartedly agree with Martha's assessment and by unspoken consensus, you all focus on making up for your relatively slow pace this morning.

You're not running, but you're moving along at a respectable pace. Looking at the map while you're taking a short drink break, at your present pace, you're confident that you can get to the campsite with an hour to spare before sundown and you might even be able to do even better.

You can't maintain your pace forever.

shortly after you set off again, you drop back to a slightly more sedate pace.

Not super slow, but you're definitely taking some time to enjoy the sights.

Considering what you're going to be doing tonight, you decide that you should look into Feebas a little more, specifically, the best place to try and catch them.

As it turns out, the answer to this question is 'anywhere, but good luck finding them'.

Apparently, Feebas are incredibly hardy and can survive anywhere from the ocean, to shallow, muddy pools, to weed-choked ponds.

What makes them so notoriously difficult to catch, is their tendency to form colonies in very specific areas.
