The Beedrill and Waspoon continued their assaults on Ursaring. Once again, they had returned to their strategy of surrounding Aero's pokmon, hoping it would be more effective this time. While Ursaring was trying to keep the bugs at distance, he couldn't keep an eye on all of them at the same time. It wasn't long before a Waspoon hit Ursaring in the back, thereby poisoning it.

The sting in its back enraged Ursaring, and angrily he turned around to swiped the Waspoon out of the air. Working more and more in teams, though, a group of Beedrill at the other side of Ursaring attacked before Ursaring could and launched their Pin Missiles. As this process continued, Ursaring started to feel dizzy not only from the constant turning around, as the poison was starting to take its toll as well.

Eric, who had been hiding near the Bumbler, noticed Aero's gesture. As many of the Beedrill and Waspoon were down, Eric pointed to the Bumbler that they should go and 'attack' Ursaring.
Bravely, the Bumbler went ahead, and released their Stun Spore which they had gathered from plants on Ursaring. The three trainers noticed that the Bumbler had an instinctively different fighting style as the Beedrill and Waspoon, due to their more peaceful nature. A positive side effect of the attack was that some of the spores landed on the surrounding Beedrill and Waspoon as well, which kept them down on the ground, watching the Bumbler's assault.

Paralyzing Ursaring as well, the Bumbler launched a Confusion next. Meanwhile, Aero held a bit back on Ursaring's attacks, and let it perform a Scratch. The Bumbler now organized themselves, very precisely, in three lines. The first line launched a Gust on Ursaring by flapping their wings at very high speeds. Afterwards, the second line of Bumbler rushed forward and hit Ursaring with a Tackle. And finally, the third line of Bumbler consisting of four Bumbler split up; two Bumbler Tackled Ursaring from the left, after which the other two Tackled from the right. Indeed, as Aero had suspected, these last attacks sent Ursaring to the ground, fainting it.

Eric and Shira anxiously watched from the side line, and kept an eye on the reactions from the Beedrill and Waspoon. They had, as the trainers had hoped for, watched the perfectly performed and constructed team assaults from the Bumbler with surprise. But would the Bumbler's victory over Ursaring be enough for them to win sufficient respect to take over the disputed honeyhive trees while at the same time talking sense into the arguing striped pokmon?

While Aero had decided to go and withdraw himself near a tree as well, the trainers watched the Beedrill and Waspoon grouping together, apparently discussing the events. The Bumbler now flew towards them to confront them with their conflict, but it didn't really look like the Beedrill and Waspoon were planning on listening to the Bumbler all of a sudden. They probably still considered themselves stronger.
Then, however, the first Bumbler that Eric and Shira had found, flew forwards and positioned herself in front of the others. She started flapping her wings very fastly, while moving her entire body, and suddenly unleashed an enormous cloud of silvery powder!
Everyone around, from the three trainers to all of the bug pokmon, looked in awe to the released Silver Wind. Having positioned herself as the obvious leader of the Bumbler now, she started discussing with the Beedrill and Waspoon, which appeared to listen to her.
Afterwards, all of the bug pokmon flew up and left the area, heading back to the honeyhive trees.

Eric, Shira and Aero now gathered around Ursaring. After Aero called it back to its pokball, Eric suggested to follow the bugs at distance to see what will happen. "Maybe we can keep an eye out for some herbs to heal Ursaring while walking." Eric said.

As the bugs reached the clearing with all the little bug pokmon, and the honeyhive trees, the Beedrill returned to the trees on the left, and the Waspoon to the trees on the right. And, as everyone had hoped for, some of the Bumbler stuck at the row of trees in the middle.

Relieved that the rivalry between the bugs seemed over, the three trainers decided to leave the area and to travel on.
"So, up to the clearing with the blue forget-me-nots, I guess?" Eric asked.

Eric walked over to the tree with the berries as well. Checking the berry section on his pokdex, he searched for some berries that might be useful. So, he picked an Oran berry, and he noticed something that might come in handy for Comolten, namely an Aspear berry. He'd rather not see his fiery starter frozen, as it most probably didn't like that.

As they were walking near the tree, Aero asked his question. "Good one," Eric replied. "I honestly have no idea either. I'd definitely like to find out when we get there."

As Daniel watched closely, Eric, Shira and Aero came walking out of the bushes. Eric and Shira immediately recognized the boy with his Pengyn.
"Daniel! We thought you'd travel with Ralene? I'm glad to see you again," Eric said, greeting Daniel.


((OOC: Ralene was Culbo's character, in case anyone wondered.))
