(Drufle: It is great that a whole page of posts appeared in only a few hours, really. If I was not waiting for you, then we might have been able to do even more; I simply did not want you to feel overridden in the topic. There are probably some I wish to catch in Decorous Woods, too, such as Volitz, so I should be catching more there. Oh, and Steph's Pokédex will be delivered by Aaron's Kolibuzz by Decorus Woods, and I plan for it to helpfully zap some pesky wild Pokémon while it is there, so if any of you have plans that could involve it, tell me by message.)

The Swablu pecked at Tiquail, and Tiquail tottered about, stepping back away from the tenacious technique of the Swablu. "Tiquail, Sand-Attack!"

Tiquail hopped in a sidestepping maneuver, scudding its feet over the ground and directing a steadily increasing plume of dust and grit at the Swablu. It did not seem to damage the Swablu, but repelled it enough to make it fly away from Tiquail and onto a branch. The Swablu's fastidiousness induced it to check and clean its cottony wings, now covered all over in dirt. "Tiquail, tackle it while it is distracted!"

The Swablu heard and understood the command, but still could not divert itself from preening fast enough to evade an unexpected lunge from the Tiquail. "FeatherDance! "

Steph's Tiquail gave a small chirp of confusion, probably not immediately understanding what the attack was, but soon enough shook its wings to launch a fluffy mass of down, spreading over the Swablu. The Swablu attempted to fly away, but Steph's Tiquail launched another Tackle attack on top of it. With the piercing shriek of Astonish, on the impact having no effect on Tiquail, Tiquail tackled it once more and the Swablu, losing its balance, fell from the branch.

"Tiquail?" Tiquail chirped.

"You do not have to fight it any more, Tiquail. It fainted."

Tiquail made a happy squawk as it jumped off the branch and into Steph's arms. "What does your Pokédex say about its experience gain?" Steph asked Cyrus.

(By now, we are either halfway or 6 out of 10 down the Route. Yes, it would be incredibly strange for you to catch a Shinx here, but as Lumin plans to capture a Krillittle...now would either be a good time to do that, Lumin, or encounter and catch a Peipelt if this would be the correct time.)

''I suspected it did that because Swablu are simply quite inclined to do so, being Swablu after all.'' Steph noted. ''I simply did not try that technique back in Hoenn, which is why I would not know if it worked.''

Continuing down the length of the route, Steph decided to ask Lumin a question. "Any here that you aim to catch? From what we have encountered, I am not interested in any of them."

(I should have replied earlier...)

"We should continue down the route, of course." Steph explained. "You did want to arrive at Bastion City before nightfall...although, detours might be present....'' Steph checked her map. "Yes, the Decorus Woods. If its size on the map is proportional, that should be significant."

''If you require a leash...then would an Escape Rope do?" Steph offered, procuring one, acquired on her previous journey, from her bag.

("Diglett, Diglett...Trio Trio Trio!"....it stays in your head.)

The Diglett popped up and above the ground, burrowing a path as it circled around Chipen. "Diglett, Diglett..." it chanted. The Diglett lunged out with the tip of its head poised; apparently its head was sharper than it looked, making it suitable for a Scratch attack of its own.
