It didn't take very long to setup your apparatus, with the readily available ocean water, soon enough you had filled the larger bottom pot with water, and had placed the smaller pot inside. All you would need is fire and eventually after that, maintaining the heat and flames that would desalinate the seawater. You suspect it would be enough for both you and your companion.

When it was time to command your Pokemon, Bolt happily obliged as he listened closely to your instructions. He would go off hunting for berries, and the job was something Bolt was already familiar with. He sped off immediately after his tail wagging, and his tongue hanging out.

But when you started giving instructions to Thistly, she at first resisted, crossing her arms and didn't seem to want to move or do anything. Eventually however, she started clawing at the ground, and soon after that, perhaps due to her pride as a Drilbur, began clawing and digging. Unlike Bolt who was more than happy to oblige, you could still tell however that Thistly didn't seem very enthusiastic at all.

Rue nodded slowly, locking eyes with you momentarily, only to dart her eyes away shortly after. She seemed quiet, but when it came to gathering tinder and creating the fire, she happily helped you prepare the tinder and eventually the fire.

Gained 1 Trainer Exp[/okay]A few more hours passed as you waited for the arrival of Bolt, and soon enough the Shinx had appeared, and like last time, carried with it some berries that can be used for food. It had a branch of berries in its mouth and handed them to you.

The further you walked, the hungrier you became. Yesterday's ordeals, though it affected you physically, also affected you mentally. You were alone out in the middle of no-where, with Deckard knocked out, and Ruby severely wounded and likely poisoned. Even the Spinarak you had caught was still paralyzed. The injuries you had with you did not yet completely heal either, and they still impeded your movements through the jungle, making each step more tiring than they should be. You continued onwards, heading to your best estimation of where north-east was. Eventually you came upon what looked to be a tree bearing some sort of fruit.

[info]Roll Survival or Edu: General to see if you know what the fruit is.[/info]Letina
You were thirsty and still had some injuries to deal with, and exploring with your Pokemon deeper into the jungles was tiring. You made your way towards the large volcano at what you suspect to be the center of the island, keeping your eye out for anything that might be of use; specifically food or water. You eventually ran into a bush containing some sort of berry.

As you moved around you felt the pain of all the injuries you had acquired. Though you did your best to ignore it, it still took a number on you.

Lynne Lockley

After quite some time of traveling through the jungle, Lynne stumbled upon a tree and plucked one of the fruits off of it to examine it more closely. I sure hope this is edible... I could use something to eat.

You recognize the fruit. Something you had read in class once back at the Academy. Being an academy that prized actual experience, they had gone over tropical fruits in the off chance that one were to run into them. This particular fruit was indeed edible, though you remember it was hard to digest, as well as being tough to eat. There was apparently some slight poison in the fruit as well, though you were told it was nothing fatal. You don't quite remember what exactly were the side-effects however, and you recall that there was a way to neutralize the poison, though you don't remember it either.

Some of the fruit were pretty high up. Lynne decided to work her way up the tree to try and grab some more. Fruit would be helpful, even if she didn't remember how to make it 100% safe it was better than starving.

Lynne
As you jumped and climbed up, you started to feel a dull throb of pain from the injuries you have. After multiple attempts, you finally managed to make it on top of a sturdy branch, and from there you grabbed as many of the fruits as you can. You stuffed them away into your bag,

[okay]You receive +1 Questionable Food (1001)[/okay]

The berries were unrecognizable. They looked similar to some edible berries you knew of, but they looked slightly different as well. They did look edible at least, but you weren't sure if that was anything to work with.

[info]You can choose to gather them.[/info]

[Throndir]

Lynne
You spent a good amount of time attempting to gather the fruits, and once you had gathered as many fruits as you were able gather you continued on your journey moving north-east. Soon enough you heard rustling.

[okay]Your perception noticed something in the bushes.[/okay]
You saw what looked to be a pair of Oddish soaking up the setting sun in one of the few small clearings in the rain forest.

Lynne saw the Oddish. They were too cute! She had to try to catch one. She let Webzy out of the pokeball and crouched down next to him. "Alright Webzy, let's sneak up on them nice and quiet." The two snuck through the brush trying to get closer to the Oddish.

[Fellow Rabbit]

Kathos Sigon

An awakening sting shot through Sigon's shoulder. He didn't know how long he had been out, but when he opened his eyes, he could see the sun had already risen. It couldn't have been less than twelve hours since the shipwreck. For a moment, he thought he was alone in his hunger and thirst and that he had by some miracle ended up on shore and not drowned, but when he heard a voice next to him, he realized he had probably been saved instead.

"Shoot!"

Had something happened? He felt the man jump to his feet next to him. Sigon's vision was still blurred from the trauma, an inconvenience he prayed wasn't permanent. He at least saw the blur dart away, talking about getting a fire going and other stuff. Sigon was too disoriented to focus very easily on what was being said.

Where were they? Clearly they weren't on the ship anymore. He knew he was in some kind of shelter, but he could also see the outlines of trees swaying in the sun. And judging by the sound of the ocean, they were near the beach. Beyond that, Sigon couldn't tell. It was still hard to focus, so it took him a bit to put two and two together. They were shipwrecked and now they were on the beach.

They were castaways! But where? An island? Was it inhabited? Would rescue come? How far away did the ship get stricken? The questions all came to him at once. He was rather frustrated with himself that he couldn't answer any of them, but he took comfort that his vision was steadily beginning to grow clearer. The relaxing aroma in the shelter help calm him down, too.

The pain in his shoulder panged again. He groaned inaudibly, managing not to draw any more attention to it. He didn't want to make his savior feel like he hadn't done a good job bandaging it up and removing the splinter from it. He instead put his effort into trying to lean up to see what the man was doing now that his vision had cleared to a satisfactory clarity.

"Glad you're feeling better, friend. Just sit tight and I'll make you some food, I'm sure you're hungry since that ordeal." The man had noticed his movements.

For a second, Sigon looked at the man and the work he had been doing while Sigon was just trying to get up. He already had a fire going and was beginning to use it to cook some berries for food.

"Thank you," he eventually managed to say, albeit quietly. He wasn't sure if the man was able to hear him over the fire.

"Here you are, it's not much, but it should help you stabilize. I'll be trying to get fresh water again tomorrow. For us both."[/b]

Before Sigon could blink twice, the man had already finished what he was cooking and served it up. Sigon looked up at him once the meal arrived. "Thank you," he repeated, this time sure that he could be heard. He wasn't really sure what else he should say. He was still mildly disoriented and continued to have trouble focusing. He ate the herbed berries in silence, slowing growing drowsy again as if he had not just slept for long hours.

His rescuer seemed to have been waiting for a further response as Sigon ate, but all the injured man could think of by the end of his meal was rest. As if no one else was around, he relaxed back into his pillow and closed his eyes, succumbing to slumber moments later.



Again, Sigon started to come to. He couldn't tell how much more time had passed, but thankfully his rescuer was still around. The pain in his shoulder seemed to have gone down since his last awakening. Whether it was because he rested more or because the man might have done more first aid while he slept, Sigon didn't know, but it was certainly a welcome improvement.

He leaned up again to see what was going on outside. There were a few Pokémon helping out around the camp. There was a mole Pokémon he couldn't remember the name of that was digging a hole outside and he could see a Shinx that he hoped belonged to the man rummaging through some nearby bushes. But on further inspection, he could see a third Pokémon just not doing anything. At first he thought it was another plant by how little it was moving, but he recognized its features now and it was definitely a Pokémon. He wondered if the man had told it to take a break or something.

It took him some time, but after having rested for at least half the day, mulling over what had happened over the last 24 hours, and finally coming to his senses, he decided it was time to see what the damage was with their trip. He slowly stood up from the bed, noticing only then that the guy who saved him was the only other person around. Were they the only two survivors? Had any bodies washed ashore? How many Pokémon would now be forever trapped in a Poké Ball? The questions were starting to pour into his mind again. He wasn't sure these were thoughts he cared to dwell on, though. He had enough problems to worry about without thinking of those less lucky than he.

He stumbled a bit, but made it to the doorway of the shelter and stopped for a moment. Should he ask to help? Was there really much he could do in his condition? Should he even be up and about? His shoulder still certainly didn't feel its greatest and he could feel a few more cuts around his body now that he was upright. He might just be getting in the way, but he couldn't just push all the work on his rescuer. Not after all he had done for him.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" he finally forced himself to say. At the very least, he could get Parfait or Sting to lend a hand. And surely there was something Sigon himself could do with his good arm.

[Linwelin]

Though he'd hoped to get more of a response from the man, but it seemed the injuries still took a heavy toll on him. Daniel helped the semi-conscious man back to a good resting position as best as he could in the somewhat cramped lean-to before going back to tending the camp. Finally, he put out the fire, called back Rue and Bolt, and headed back to sleep himself.



Daniel heard a call from behind him, turning to see the stranger he had tended to the past couple days to be sitting up and fully conscious. "Ah! Good afternoon, you seem to be feeling better, I'm glad." Dan greeted in return. "As for helping out...well, the number one priority is you recovering; if you injure yourself in another way, we have to start from square one again. I can take care of camp, this kind of stuff is what I live for. Instead, I haven't been able to check on your Pokemon; I'm not about to touch a Honedge that isn't familiar with me. Make sure your companions are alright, then rest." Daniel begins gathering some things before leaving camp. "If you begin getting stir crazy, though, feel free to tend to the camp however you think helpful. I'll be going fishing this evening, as well, so feel free to join me for that."

As Dan starts to head back, he turns around. "I'm glad you're alright. I'm not sure how many survivors like us there are, but I plan to aid every one that I can. I'll be searching today, I suspect if there are any, they landed mostly to the south of us. You're also welcome to join for that, if you think your body is up for it."

Hiro popped out of the poke ball uninjured but shaken Grey had just managed to protect them before things went to hell and now here he was unconscious on the beach. He dragged the light teen further up into the sand and away from the waves. The pokemon knew that until they could get him awake he would need protection. So looking around Hiro wanted to find some kind of palm tree perhaps heavy with coconuts and was going to chop a few down.
