[info]Letina only.[/info]Both of the Silcoon were wide awake, and you found your hand still stretched into the bushes. Luckily you still had time before they could react. You know you had your Pokemon right behind you, and with how dense the bushes were, it was hard for the Silcoon to move anywhere else.

This was ridiculous. She must have gotten a fluke ball. Perhaps it had been damaged in the storm. How else could a sleeping Pokémon she had just touched with a ball escape from it? And now both of them were awake. Dropping the now useless ball, Letina did the only thing she could think of to try to make them not upset with her.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to wake you. You just looked so adorable sleeping there, but I really don't think this is the safest place to sleep. You see, this is a berry bush and scary Pokémon are bound to find you hiding in these bushes while they search it for food. And since I could really use your help, I thought it might be best for all of us if you came with me. I'm sorry, I should have asked you first." She tried to pet the nearest Silcoon, hoping her strokes would help to soothe it. If this failed, perhaps she could offer it a berry? She could think of only two reasons why they might have chosen this bush. Either they chose it to hide in and feed off of while in this form or the berries were poisonous and they had hoped the berries would drive off would-be predators.

You were calming, and though the two Silcoon were wary at first, even fearful, they relaxed their guard somewhat, but still viewed you suspiciously.

"So..." Letina tried to think of something else to ease the tension. Guess she would have to go with the berries. "These berries, are you hiding here because they're edible and provide a food source for you? Would you like me to pick some for you?" She picked a couple of the berries and held them out to the two.

The Silcoon cowered back, further retreating into the bushes. They didn't seem to like humans, or at the very least, they seemed to want to get away.

Either the berries were poisonous or the Silcoon were just as tough mentally as they were physically. Fine, they would do it the hard way. "Coalee, fetch!" Letina instructed the Houndour. She did not want to use ember on the Silcoon, especially while they were still within the berry bush that Quilz and Blaise were still picking berries from.

The Houndour knew what is mother meant. She was to crawl into the bush and grab one of the Silcoon to bring it out.

The Houndour successfully grappled one of the Silcoon. However its companion attack.

Coalee struggled to keep a hold of the Silcoon in her mouth, deciding to bite down a little to warn the creature to stop.

"Its okay." Letina said to the Silcoon as Coalee brought it closer. "I don't want to hurt you." Pulling out another ball, she held out to touch the Silcoon. "You'll be safer in here."

"Good job, Coalee!" Letina called, returning the dog to her ball. She was sad that her Pokémon had to take the abuse, and felt bad that Coalee had fainted. She would have to treat her later... Somehow. Looking at her other two Pokémon, Letina decided who to send up next. Blaise was still picking berries, but she was sure he was just itching to join in.

"Blaise, I know you want to show this Silcoon who is boss!" She called to him. She had really wanted them to be on friendly terms with the Silcoon so that they would be more likely to help out at camp, but it looked like she had no choice. "Do your thing!"

Blaise dropped the berry he had been holding in his beak whilst watching the Houndour and its mother attempt to capture the Silcoon. All the while, he had wished he could just join in. He knew he could get the job done. Jumping forward, Blaise stretched out his claws. If he cut open the Silcoon and it died, at least they could clean out its shell to use for carry the berries or something.

"We did it! Good job, Blaise!" Letina congratulated her Torchic. "But we're not done yet. Lets get that other one so it can be with its friend!"

With what looked like some sort of bird sigh and rolling of eyes, Blaise did as he was told. He dove into the bushes, his claws outstretched once more.

She wanted to help Blaise. She hated seeing her Pokémon get hurt like this. The Torchic acted all tough, but he really was a softy when you got to know him. When he fainted, Letina returned him, apologizing for the turn of events and thanking him for his hard work. He really was a good boy.

Biting her lip, Letina looked over at Quilz. Oh, her wonderful Quilz. Her ever-so-ultra-cuddly Quilz. So-soft-and-squishy Quilz. The most adorable Pokémon in the entire world. Was this Silcoon really worth putting Quilz in danger? No! Quilz was a lover, not a fighter! Blaise and Coalee actually enjoyed it, but there was no way Quilz would like it! She would be more likely to try to cuddle!

"Silcoon, come on out!" Quilz aside, it was her only Pokémon left. It probably would not listen to her, and that was fine. She did not expect it to attack its friend. What she actually wanted was to try to get its friend to join them. Squatting down beside it, she made eye contact. "Look, I'm really sorry for how things turned out. I'll promise, I will find a way to make it up to you. I don't want you to battle your friend, but if your friend won't come with us, then I want you to at least be able to say goodbye."

That said, she set an empty ball down on the ground nearest the still wild Silcoon. If it wanted to join her, then it could. She wanted it to join her, but really... She was not the kind of person to make friends battle each other. Not that she would not stop... Beauty? from attacking her friend to force it to join...

You see the Silcoon hop its way over to its companion. As you stare at them you see your Silcoon make strange noises, while the other Silcoon replied back in the same strange language. They started off amiably at first, but soon enough you could tell that their discussion became more and more heated. Finally the still-wild Silcoon simply turned its back on its companion and made a sounds akin to a 'hmph'.

It seemed the other Silcoon did not wish to join its friend. Well, if that was what it wanted. "Come on, Silcoon. We need to head back to my camp before it starts getting dark. I have other friends there to help us stay safe. But first, how about we pick out a name for you? What do you think of Beauty?"

Once the name was settled, Letina returned her Pokémon to their balls and started to pack up the berries that everyone had picked. She decided to give the Silcoon a little more time to think before it made its final decision and chose to leave the empty ball where it could still get into. If it did not go into the ball before she finished, she would pick the ball up and head back.

The first Silcoon cooed at its new nickname, an seemed to say something to its companion. However the wild Silcoon still continued to pretend to ignore. When it came to gathering your things, it was apparent that you were starting to go. The wild Pokemon glanced every so often, its gaze seeming to be more and more solemn the further you got into your proceedings. When the captured Silcoon was returned to the Pokeball, the wild one made a sound akin to a gasp, and simply stared back at you. It seemed to whimper, and it seemed sad.

Looking back at the other Silcoon one last time, Letina moved over to the ball she had set down. Silcoon were harder to read than Pokémon like Quilz, Blaise, and Coalee, but she felt like it was torn between what it should do. She understood, it would be leaving the life it had grown up in to travel with a stranger. It probably had made all sorts of plans for the future, and she had just come along and snatched up its friend. The situation made her feel bad, but she knew these guys would be so helpful to her and the camp. And she was not lying when she said that it would be safer with her than in that berry bush. While their idea for choosing to nest where they would not have to go far for food was good, she was sure they had not thought that predators would come along and find them. They were lucky she found them and not something worse.

"You're still free to join me if you want." Letina crouched down. "I don't really want to take your friend away from you, but she seems pretty content in joining me now and I'll definitely do my best to keep her safe and help her become strong so she can protect herself against predators. I could help you, too, if you have changed your mind." She held out the ball one last time.

[spoiler=Charm, just in case.][blockquote]Rolled 3d6+2 : 5, 1, 4 + 2, total 12[/blockquote][/spoiler]

The Silcoon hesitated at first, but eventually it decided to creep up forward. She stared long and hard at you for a few moments, its eyes both hopeful and worried at the same time. But it seemed to have made up its mind, and before long it tapped the Pokeball that you held out, and soon enough the familiar red glow captured the second Silcoon.
