Fandom To Be an Explorer (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon)

Maxim quickly straightened at the sandshrews hiss, finding it so sudden but necessary. He made a mornin, zipping his lips shut and smiling wide, almost unnaturally. Maxim nodded and hunkered down, moving carefully. Each movement with his feet was angled and tight, light and curved to nearly silence his footsteps. His breathing was shallow bursts, taking in the scents of dead leaves and faint honey and husks from the nests around them. The scorbunny made hand gestures taught to him by the TC leader. "Follow." He said in the motions of his paws before pointing out to a thin path between the trees. He had to stay in the shadows as the light bouncing off his fur would be a giveaway. He came to a hault at times, raising his hand swiftly to signal a stop. Then proceeding again, looking around swiftly and moving sharply to the left, where the canopy thickened and allowed only the thinnest streaks of light.

"So, have you ever just woke up, without-"

That's when Avery lost his temper and snapped at them both. Hirano, too, was taken aback, flattening her ears and widening her eyes. Though she obeyed the order and sealed her lips shut, her overall expression was bitter. She even kept lifting her paws and putting them down, batting at the space Avery briefly occupied. "I might have been on to something. I might've finally been able to figure out where I come from."

Turmy had watched the events with certain interest. She was glad that the person in the bushes was a local guild member who knew the way out. With Zero out of commission, having another team member could only help. At least... until they started talking, and Avery quickly shoved them before the team was caught. (Well, Turmy wasn't shoved, but she did hurry and hide.)

Once the buzzing was gone and Avery spoke, Turmy tentatively came out. If they were trying to be stealthy again... she checked her armor. Normally, Turmy would be disappointed that the previous battle got her all dusty again, but that was a positive in this case. She wasn't shiny anymore, so her gleam wouldn't catch anyone's notice.

"Go?" she ventured quietly, maybe too quietly, because the others were already off. After a glance at Avery who was taking the rear, Turmy followed.

Mao

"Everyone good?" The moment Avery gave the warning Mao immediately blended in with forest. She was now having her mossy skin again, actually it might be good for her to stay like this until they get out of the forest. After making sure no other beedrill was nearby, she glanced around the group and beckoned for them to keep walking. She was relieved to see all of them seem fine.

"Come Maxim, you take the lead." Mao signaled for the scorbunny to walk ahead of them.

Maxim nodded pointing out towards a large weathered rock that laid between some trees. It was a centerpiece to the natural beauty of the forest, soft yellow sunlight streaming gently through and kissing the surface of the rock. It reflects a clean light grey, somewhat grainy. Other parts were smooth and dusty, wurmples climbing over it and then scattering into shrubbery as the group walks past. This is a checkmark to Sunlin based on Maxims past scouting expeditions, the grass thinning put around it. He took a deep breath, letting it out slowly and continued on while Mao keeps watch.

Avery
Fragile Oak Forest​

The forest thickened again as they proceeded through the trees and the forest was back to its less tolerant nature when it came to the sunlight. The shade provided a decent coolant. While Avery would prefer the sifting sands of the desert to the forest, he really did love the feeling of the cool grass on his paws. What he DIDN'T like was the constant sounds. Out in the desert, if there was sound, it was most definitely another Pokemon and his sensitive hearing could pinpoint exactly where the sound came from. Here, it was sounds from all sides and all variations. Buzzing, chirping, crunching, talking

This wasn't what Avery had in mind when he came on mission. He was wanting a vast adventure taken with his friends, traversing danger and conquering everything with the power of Friendship and a Guild Seal. Instead, he was trapped in his own head because if a word escaped, a Poison Sting would enter. Adventuring wasn't what he thought it was. He didn't know WHAT he was expecting, but this wasn't it. Maybe it was his childish outlook on life up to this point. Maybe it was all the glamorized stories he's been told by his mother by candlelight late at night or the elites rattling off their amazing exploits against powerful villains.

Still, Avery was happy it was uneventful because that also means that they didn't encounter any danger............yet

Some buzzing got close as they moved closer to the actual hives (hive in this case is more a residential area. Honey Combs started to pop up in their view, Bee Hives began to pepper some of the trees, albeit in sparse numbers because they were still on the outskirts. This area was a bit more noisy than others, which could allow them a larger margin of error when it came to noise, but it was for their sake that they stayed out of sight.

"I'm hearing a lot of Bees near by. Are you sure we're still on the outskirts, Maxim?" Avery said in a low voice. Since the buzzing was numerous, he could afford to speak up to where the front was from his position the Caboose

The scorbunny squinted, sitting down for a brief moment to collect his thoughts. He looked back to the shrew, nodding. "We should be just fine. The path we are taking is exactly as i scouted out beforehand..." he answered, not sure of himself fully as he looked up to the canopy that shielded them from sunlight. He thought for a second. Did they really take a wrong turn? No, he thought to himself to save pride. He wouldnt let something like his happen. He plucked a piece of grass from next to his feet, raising it up and then began tearing it apart mindlessly.

"Could be possible that the canopy hid them from my view until now. My bad for not taking in extra care, however, if we continue on this path we should definitely be outta here. Although im slightly wary now aaass..they moved out..maybe preparing for expansion? Or to go find food?" He thought out loud in thin mumbles as his ears twitched about.

Adventuring was all he did since he was born. Down hot rivers and cold slopes. It was practically encoded within him. His Father was a part of a rescue team, saving pokemon from natural disasters or from other pokemon. He is Maxims inspiration and rolemodel. To be out in the wilds! Fire churning in his stomach and a quick beating heart! Its his dream. Thats why he joined Team Green Forest. To be strong enough to go on daring adventures! Fortunately, being sent on a rescue mission to find these fools would look good on his record.

Maxim plucked a oran berry from a bush nearby and bit into it, standing up with his chest out to face the forest, however quietly he must do so. Despite his arrogance, he is smart enough to know what to fight. Beedrills? Thats death if your not careful. The cold morning dew from hours ago still hung on the bases of the grass, evaporating quickly from the pads on his feet. "So..what exactly happened to have all of you stuck in Bee territory?" He asked in a low tone so the noise of the forest and bustling of bees near could mask it perfectly.

Hirano's ears were going crazy. Buzzing, humming, rattling...just about every kind of creature sound walked parallel to them. Her almost perfectly curled tail, for once in its life, fell limp and dragged on the ground. This was the belly of the beast. If something happened, would any bigger Pokémon actually come to help them? Or was it all for one in this Pokémon world?

Now she was wondering just how brave she was really being. Hell, she was beaten unconscious by Pokémon just about Avery's size. Yet...she had other Pokémon around to beat her up. This...this was worse. There were no footsteps or shadows to warn them of enemy Pokémon approaching. All they had were their ears to pick up the buzzing, and their noses to pick up the growing smell of honeycombs.
