The sound of the tree falling shook the forest area around the beautiful lagoon. A strong gust of wind kicked up from the tree, sending bits of debris flying in all directions. Hard grains of dirt, sharp rocks, and broken pieces of dried up twigs spun around madly in the air and slapped the face of anyone nearby, causing most of the Pokemon to shield their eyes from the impact. Large birds screamed loudly before stretching their white wings and taking off into the skies. Chomper certainly scared them out from their hiding spots, though he also managed to scare them far away from the lagoon entirely. Some fat white birds fled alongside small, thin bodies of seagulls who cawed into the bright sun itself before their forms disappeared like shrinking dots on the horizon. Derpy’s tail stirred up a commotion underneath the lagoon’s large waves. The shockwaves that shook from the tree’s falling danced in long ripples on the edge of the water. Some smaller fish hid behind the long, jagged edges of the rocky seabed and stared up in wonder at the dangling lure. Was it a worm dancing just inside their watery terrain? Was it some celestial hand reaching out to them for comfort? Or was it something stranger that slowly lurked within their watery home? And what could it mean for the fish that swam within the beautiful lagoon? One small dark blue fish darted past a larger dark blue fish with long ‘wing’ like fins. It screamed, causing the larger fish’s eyes to widen in terror before both of them took off together. A bright pink fish studied the way the small white ‘worm’ with its white ‘head’ dangled back and forth inside of the water and frowned. This didn’t look like any worm that the Alomomola had ever seen in its life. The way it swayed with the water seemed more like debris than dust. The loud doom that the Alomomola heard followed by the long shockwaves that rippled through their watery homes caused it to question its presence entirely. Could it be safe to venture closer if this thing had come with ill intentions? When none would rise to the challenge, the Alomomola sighed heavily and darted after its new ‘prey or predator’. Cautiously, Alomomola would bite down hard on Derpy’s tail, causing the small Slowpoke to flip the fish up out of the water and onto the bank in one swift motion. A Wild Alomomola bit down on Derpy's tail! Level 26. Please decide what Tyler will do here. Shiny? TJG5I|Ay1-42 Uncommon? 1-3 | Pokemon? 1-3 | Level? 20-28

On the way back from the beautiful water fall, Astrid chose to follow the beach most of the way. That way she would avoid getting lost which would have given her plenty of problems, enduring a night on her own wouldn't be that bad, it was still rather hot out and their shelters were still mostly just to keep the wind and rain out still. But if she got lost it could take her days to find her way back, and she wasn't sure how long she could go without food and water, she relied a lot on the other survivors as she had little knowledge about surviving in the wild. She wasn't worried about getting attacked, Yakul and Janus would without any doubt be able to defend her if needed.
As Yakul trotted down the beach Astrid relaxed and wondered how the other trainers she had left was faring. Her farewell had been pretty quick but at least Kevin had realized his mistake and had apologized, it was nice when people could do that. She hadn't been interested in the horsea, she was already training Silvia and she could be a handful. They rounded a corner and Astrid halted Yakul to take in the sight. "It is a beautiful island," she sighed to herself, "do you agree?" she asked her pokemon cheerfully. Yakul flicked and ear back at her while Janus, who was riding on Yakul's neck in front of Astrid, waved a front leg to show his agreement. "Is that...?" Astrid asked with a frown when she saw a familiar figure at the lagoon they had encountered. Seemed like she had come across someone solitary battle, not that she would disrupt it as she was just passing through.
Another movement caught her attention and she saw a wingull scream at the waters below its nest, where a finneon kept shooting water up at it, trying to shoot it down. The wingull fought to keep the nest together. "Or perhaps I will stay for a bit," she said and urged Yakul to hurry as they set the course towards the squabbling pokemon. The finneon looked in her direction at the sound of trotting hooves and glared before it dived and disappeared out of sight. The wingull spread its wings and did its best to cover its nest against this new potential attacker, Astrid held Yakul back to try not to seem threatingly to the bird. "We mean you no harm," Astrid said reassuringly but the wingull still stared suspiciously at her. Something moved in the water and Astrid frowned, "they really do not like you here."

The war between sea and sky had been a war that was ongoing for centuries. Many nests from the terror birds above their watery home had been ruined in the past. Those large white birds and their thin base forms would rummage through Finneon’s nests and steal their eggs, gobbling up all of their children! This Finneon had already had the last straw when it swam back to its carefully crafted nest, where a bunch of rocks had been pressed and packed into a large circular pattern at the edge of the water. It allowed the cool waters to fill the nest up, keeping it refreshingly wet for Finneon’s eggs! It had even left three eggs in the nest, only to return to his nest after hunting to a loud Wingull laughing in the tree above and its eggs missing! The Finneon puffed up and screamed at the loud bird, demanding Wingull return the eggs and apologize for terrorizing its home! Even though the white seagull shook its head and tried to explain that it didn’t know what happened to Finneon’s eggs, its constant laughter caused the fish not to believe a word that Wingull said. Of course it knew what happened to its nest! It fired powerful streams of water at the white bird, who leaped into the air and darted around the spitballs with loud, shocked chirps. Wingull then clapped its wings together to send powerful blasts of air after Finneon. Something moved towards Finneon and Wingull, causing the fish to leap underneath the water and dart behind a large rock. When Astrid spoke Finneon assumed she was speaking to the Wingull and puffed up. Did not like it here?! Of course not! It jumped back up and spat large spitballs of water at Astrid, trying to hit her in her arms and face. “Wingull keeps attacking our children and stole my eggs!” Wingull puffed up, clapping its wings together to send a powerful blast of air after Finneon, who darted out of the way. “Only because your kind keep shooting our nests down from the trees! And I did not steal your eggs!” Finneon glared at Astrid and Yakul, preparing to fire more spitballs of water at them. “Are you going to defend this lying bird?! I’ll take you down, too!” It threatened Astrid! A Wild Finneon appeared! Level 25. Please decide what Astrid will do here. Shiny? Qg0zMLzU1-421-42

Janus watched perplexed at the finneons angry outburst and the wingull was clever enough to stay silent now it clearly had them on its side and it looked like they would handle the first immediate problem. The fish's ranting got cut short by the net ball which sucked it in and it confirmed the capture almost immediately. Astrid exhaled and looked at the pokeball which bobbed in the water and then turned to look at the wingul, time to strike a bargain. "Are you okay?" she asked the wingull who looked warily at her, she might be planning on catching it as well, it spread its wings protectively over its eggs and Astrid smiled kindly. "Your nest is rather exposed there, we can help you find a better place for your egg and in exchange perhaps you can fetch me the pokeballs?" She offered and pointed at the visible ball floating in the water.
"She's offering to move your egg to a safer spot if you collect her pokeballs. I think the reason she says that in plural is because she wants the one which sunk as well," Janus helpfully explained and the wingull sent him an odd glance. "That I understand, thank you," it said dryly and looked thoughtful at them, "Where are you going to take the eggs then?" Janus shrugged, "I don't know."
Astrid looked thoughtful at the nest which now hold on barely as it wasn't attacked but not much would be required to blow it down and have the eggs plop straight into the water below. "A new nest would probably be best," she said thoughtfully and looked at the wingull, it didn't really look like a treenesting kind of bird, which was probably also the reason for why this nest wasn't doing very well. "A flat surface which would be unreachable expect by flying," she said thoughtfully and the wingulls eyes widened in realization and it looked up at the cliff near the water. Astrid smiled, "I am afraid we cannot help much when it comes to building you a new nest, but we can protect the eggs and perhaps help find materials for you," she suggested and the wingull narrowed its eyes as it tried to see through her potential lie. Another part of the nest fell off and into the water below making the seabird squeal and beg them to help it, which Astrid needed Janus prodding to understand the meaning of.
Soon the eggs were safely stored on a bed of leaves with the winggull fuzzing over them, reluctantly it left them to fetch the two pokeballs, while Astrid made herself comfortable beside the nest with Janus on guard and Yakul had been sent to gather some sticks from the nearby greenery.

The other Wingull watched from the high treetops nearby, with many of them wrapping their wings around their own nests. They were rather clumsy overall, and while some had managed to move their nests on the ground below, the rising tides washed them all out. They murmured to each other as they shifted their beady black eyes from their white eggs with blue streaks on the sides to the Wingull that swooped through the air after the Pokeballs that Astrid had sent out after the fish. What could it all mean? Had this strange human managed to capture their friend and make it some sort of subservient servant of hers? They squawked and slapped their wings angrily in the heat of the moment. “Wingull shouldn’t move its nest!” One of the Wingull cried, with many of them raising their heads up and chirping loudly as they agreed. “Many Wingull have tried that and had their eggs washed out into the large lagoon!” Another chirped in terror. It had lost so many of its children to the waves and the vicious fish that lurked below the surface. This Wingull was definitely a newer parent and one that it wouldn’t wish such a terrorizing effect on. “Why are they grabbing its eggs?!” One gave a loud shrill in alarm and pointed its long, sharp beak in Astrid’s direction. “We should stop her!” Another cried in agreement, slapping its wings together. One large Wingull rose up over the flock and shot high into the air. It knew that all of its friends had nests full of eggs that needed to be protected. It had lost its mate several moons ago and had no need for a nest or eggs anymore. It wouldn’t let any harm come to the Wingull that called the Placid Lagoon home. Whatever this human had nefariously planned with the other Wingull’s eggs, this Wingull would put and quick and abrupt end to it all. It swooped over and hovered above Astrid as it squawked angrily while whipping up powerful gusts of wind that it sent spiraling at the old lady. “Keep your hands off our eggs!” The other Wingull shrieked. A Wild Wingull appeared! Level 20. Decide what Astrid will do here. What will it be now? LqtutvPi1-421-42

Astrid and her pokemon wasn't going to go far with the wingull's eggs, they were all laying safely wrapped up on the ground, with the old woman having made herself comfortable beside them. Otherwise the parent wouldn't have ever dared leaving them, but of course the flock might not have the eyes for that. Janus defense of the eggs seemed to have convinced they were on its side when it swiftly returned after having collected the pokeballs and came to their rescue. Or the flocks, as Janus looked to be ready to electrocute them all out of the sky if necessary.
"That's why you should stay back," Janus explained when the bird dropped to the ground and shook his head at its reaction. "I don't eat eggs, I eat electricity which you don't have anything around here. Besides, I have promised the parent of the eggs to protect them until they have made a new nest, which is what I'm doing." He crawled back a bit nervously when a lot of the wingulls crowded around him and he shot a glance back at Astrid, it was a lot of things they asked which he couldn't really answer. "Oh my goodness! What is it they want?" Astrid asked as the cawing wingulls gathered around them noisily. "I don't know, we're helping with this nest because it was falling down and I don't know how long we're staying. What is it you need help with?" He asked. "And of course I understand, I speak pokemon pretty well after all," he stated as a matter of fact. A snort would be heard behind them as Yakul trotted over agitated, worried the many birds was going to threaten her trainer.

The small white birds listened to Janus with wide and curious eyes. One of the thin seagulls landed on a nearby ‘branch’ on one of the palm trees and stretched its wings out wide. It would wave the tips of its wings at its fellow birds, shooing and shushing them away urgently from Janus and his teammates. If the small, electric tick said that they needed to stay back, then they must stay back! “Didn’t you just hear this tick?!” It shouted at its flock, hopping a bit from foot to foot anxiously. “These are egg protectors, as legends of long ago foretold! We always assumed the Guardians of the Nests would be winged, like us! But what if we were wrong, brothers and sisters?! What if they come not of blood and vengeance, but of love and peace?!” A shushed murmur spread like wildfire through the tribe. Soon, all the of wild seagulls would land in the trees and whisper with wide eyes amongst each other. Some shook their heads while others nodded feverishly along. A couple raised inquisitive eyebrows up and gestured towards Janus and Yakul. While many seemed as though they weren’t quite buying the act, many more immediately accepted their new ‘helpmates’ that had come to save their eggs. One Wingull, with a large scar over its eyes, rose up over the flock and spoke in a deep voice. “Brothers and sisters, I say to you! Have we not prayed for this moment?! Have we not dreamed of a day whereby our eggs may never need risk of falling to their demise on the grounds below?! Have we not begged our Great Sky Lords to provide us safety from those dastardly fish’s Water Guns?!”One large and very fat looking waterfowl rose up among them all. As soon as the titan rose, all of the Wingull stopped dead in their tracks and only stared at this new arrival with wide, thoughtful eyes. The pelican landed on the topmost portion of the tallest tree near Astrid and Janus and stared with one lonesome eye at the small electric bug. “You are our eggs protectors?! Be gone, little fry, before I make you be gone!” The Pelipper raised a single wing and waved it in a quick fashion towards Janus. “You are nothing more than a footnote in our history books. There’s nothing spectacular about you nor your human. Leave at once and let us tend to the rest!” It demanded. Wild Pelipper is shunning Janus away! Level 27. Decide what Janus Astrid will do here.

"How should you know of the television? You don't have it out here but the humans in it really know their stuff and the programs I have seen about pokemon like you, they always nest on top flat roofs or cliffs. Far above where any cats and such can reach, even out of reach of humans," he explained and exciting murmurs spread across the flock. The skeptical ones were quick to air their distrust and arguments broke out all over the area, and it could probably have continued on forever hadn't something happened. A distressed voice was heard from a bit away through the fog, "my eggs?! Where is my babies?!" it wailed and the wingull who's eggs Janus was protecting spun around eagerly, "mate!" It called but got drowned out when the rest of the flock set in with a sympathy calls for another lost clutch, it wasn't much else they could do. "No! Wait! They are not lost! They are right here!" The wingull screeched but couldn't be heard through the spectacle, Astrid also had to cover her ears. The wingull turned to Janus, "watch over them, I'll be right back!" And with that it disappeared into the fog, leaving Janus to wonder if 'them' meant only the egg or the whole flock of white birds.
How Janus could recognize one wingull from another was unknown but when a stranger and very upset bird came diving in from the fog, he jumped forward and had barely shot it down from the sky, hadn't the parent followed right after and frantically calling it was alright. Janus pressed himself to the ground as the two wingulls landed at the eggs and the other parent checked them and bombarded the others with tons of questions of what had happened and why. By. Great. Lugia. The. Eggs. Were. On. The Ground?! The wingull did its best to explain to its mate but it took some time to calm the other one down enough to listen and feel secure that the eggs really was safe.
More time went as the wingulls and the pelipper discussed among themselves what to do now, Janus didn't really listen as they went in circles a lot, but also Astrid began to be restless. It was cold in the fog and she had promised to help build a new nest, not act like a guard until the eggs hatched and the babies would be ready to fly on their own! Finally the wingull parents turned to Janus and the first one smiled brightly, "we have decided! We want to see if we can find a better place for our nest that the trees!" It's mate eyes the shadows which was the palms, from where there came disgruntled murmurs, "I don't think we can find anything worse than the palms," it said and looked knowingly at its mate, they were new parents and young, so they had the worst trees at the outer ring of the colony. "But we need to get the eggs off the ground." The two wingulls quickly made a temporary nest and with the help of Janus and Yakul got the eggs moved there, the parent bonded a bit and wished each other good luck before one sat down to warm the eggs and the other returned to Janus, Astrid and Yakul. "Let's go! You need to show us how they do it in that tetesion fo yours!" It said eagerly and Janus explained they had another task they needed to do first: get Astrid to understand what was happening now and that their help was still needed.
It took some time, and a building of a little mount of pebbles to get her to understand they wanted to go to a cliff to try build a nest there. The old woman never understood why she was needed to this task, or her pokemon, the birds could fly themselves and could check it out that way, right? She agreed though, how could she say no?

As Tyler tried his best to stay under the radar the other trainers who had come.to the Placid Lagoon seemed to have left. Though he still had other areas he wanted to explore he also wanted to train more in the area and saw the loneliness as the perfect opportunity to ruin the day of more Pokemon in the area while there was no one else around to witness the carnage. " It would appear we are alone again for the time being. We should keep training before we get bothered again as I do not think there is many other areas we can train so effectively as we can here."
Mania and Fenrir calmed down a bit as they did not need to stay on guard quite as much with no other humans around. The pair had grown quite powerful already but the stronger they could get while still being shipwrecked the better. " I wonder which pest will make our day next, so far we have had quite a bit of ouck with those dumb fish. They can take a few hits but when it comes to brains they are about as dumb as a sunbaked Slowpoke on a hot summer's day." Just as Fenrir finished making fun of the Alomomola they had battle Mania got a whiff of something off in the distance.
" Ah I smell something nearby, there are too many scents to narrow down what it is but whatever is nearby certainly smells pretty bad. Smelly as they may be my claws should make quick work of whatever it is unless Fenrir would like another chance to grow stronger." As Tyler pondered which of the two canines to use he decided to wait and see what would pop out before making his final choice. As they waited for whatever it was to appear Tyler made sure both were ready just in case either of them would be more useful at handeling the approaching foe.
" Both of you be ready for a fight, I do not want either of you to be caught off guard as a number of Pokemon arround here can be annoying if they get off the first strike. I also want to try and capture a few more if I can as well as I am certain we can make a quick buck selling more of them." He snarled as both canines bared their fangs hoping to be the one to deluver a blow on their unsuspecting victim.

Many of the long winged seagulls stared on as their friend left with the strange old lady. While they chatted in the tops of the neighboring trees about whether their friend would find more suitable grounds for nesting wherever it had wandered with Astrid, the winds began to kick up while thick grey clouds dotted the skies above their heads. The winds spiraled around with a vicious howl and slung large ice crystals through the air. The icy bodies would slam against the base of the trees, the ground underfoot, and the top of the lagoon’s watery surface while the winds howled treacherously. When Tyler appeared, the white birds began to flap their wings and scream a sharp shrill alarm. What could this mean?! More of these trainers wandering in this area?! One large seagull with a gnarly scar coursing over its eye shot a concerning look to a small and dainty looking seagull with the lightest blue markings on its wings. The dainty Wingull nodded warily towards its friend, who seemed to understand the dangerous meaning behind Tyler and his team’s wandering bodies in their area. Could they be friends of Astrid, meant to help them find better nesting grounds? They doubted it. The large Wingull with a gnarly scar across its eyes swooped up high into the air and spiraled back down to land on its talons in front of Tyler while beating its wings against the snow covered ground. Hail slammed around them, causing the seagull to take to the air once more to avoid being struck by a particularly large piece. “Why are you here in our homeland?! Did you come with that one old trainer, to help us find better nesting grounds?!” The other seagulls watched from the treetops nearby, prepared to fly away to safer hiding grounds should Tyler and his team prove to be cruel individuals who only wanted to cause them pain and suffering.
