Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

[ Pikachu jumps and unleashes the electric attack at the bees, trying to take out any that Pansage isn't hitting and knocking them either back or down. Looks like the two together are taking them down. Sort of. These bees are tougher than any Beedrill they ever faced. ]

[cilantro]

[Indeed]

Hrm, they have quite a tough flavor to them, don't they... [He had hoped that they'd go down pretty quick since they weren't like Pokemon, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Either way, Pansage does it's best to try to shoot them down with Bullet Seed despite that.]

[friendshipfirst]

Yeah, but we can take 'em! Pikachu, hit 'em with all you got!

[ Pikachu keeps up the Thunderbolts, using some extra charge when he can. Eventually the bees start to dwindle in numbers, though Pikachu is all tuckered out by the time they're finally gone.

At least, that's what they can hope, right? ]

[cilantro]

[Pansage does it's best to take them out, but it too is pretty tired by the time they appear to have won the battle. Since it seems safe now, Cilan leans down to pick up his Pokemon.]

It looks like we managed to get rid of them... [sigh] We'll have to be careful from now on so as not to attract attention from any other unsavory creatures that might be living here.

[But hey, at least it was just bees this time, right...]

[friendshipfirst]

Y-Yeah... but which way do we go now, Cilan?

[ Pikachu hops back onto Ash's shoulder as he turns to ask his friend the question. It was Cilan that picked this direction so he should know which way to go from the bottom of this cliff right? ]

[cilantro]

Well, let's see. [Cilan takes out the writing pad he's been using to take note of their surroundings during their travels. He writes something down and then...stares at it for a minute, before turning it sideways for a second as if that somehow answers the question of where they are, before turning it rightside up again.]

Okay, if my notes are correct, and if the taste of the wind is to be trusted, then the best way to go now would be... [He holds up a finger for a second or two, thinking, before he points towards their left.] ...in this direction.

[...No, he's totally not just guessing at this point, he's surely got many reasons to think that's the best direction to take...]

[friendshipfirst]

And this way is gonna lead us outta this jungle and to the mountains, right?

[ Because after that ordeal he would like to get out of this jungle before they are attacked by bees again. Or something else. Let's not think about what else could be here in this jungle right now.

Before he even gets an answer from Cilan though he's going to start walking. Just for that reason. Hopefully left is right and right was not right. ]

[cilantro]

Of course! [Wait, hang on Ash, don't walk off without him! Cilan is quick to make sure to go after him, trying to match the other's pace as he continues speaking.]

I'm certain of it, we'll be out of this jungle before you know it! What happened earlier was simply just an unexpected occurrence, that's all. [Cilan, that's what you said about that "mis-calculated slope" earlier too...]

i'm gonna tag everything in my inbox

[friendshipfirst]

[ But Cilan this is Ash we're talking about! It's okay he's not walking that fast so it's not hard to catch up with him. ]

Really? Great! I can't wait to see what's in the mountains! So ya think we'll find anything special?

[ Hopefully not some strange territorial animal or anything. Or more bees. They've had enough of that on this journey already haven't they. ]

tag all the things

[cilantro]

[And then a bear suddenly came out of the--nah, I'm just kidding, nothing's happening yet. (But let's be real, would you be surprised if something like that did happen?)]

I hope so--surely, there must be something unique to find out here, right?
