"Useless," she spat at 'Nlikely's Poké Ball as Seth ran off. "You could have done better," she corrected with a nicer, more kindergarten-teacher-like tone.

A black swirl at head height. That should be distinctive enough... a rush of thoughts Steph was thinking five minutes ago loaded into her mind. Good. She's not yet out of range. Maybe she left her B button at home.

Do they really think they're the first people to escape by that route? Well...actually they are, nobody else had ever escaped through there, but we've had a similar case.

Lepida sought a room with a telephone. Being noxious, distracting, noisy devices of idleness, Team Lotus detested them, but nonetheless admitted their utility. As a compromise, there were only three telephones in the entire building. Fortunately, one of them was nearby.

Ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring, Bananza-phone... the phone sung.

"Helloo?"

"This is Lepida. We have guests on the loose. They're in the Decorus Woods."

"Yawn...it's about time we do. Being a security officer can be..."

"Please do it. Now."

"Fine, fine fine...yawn..."

"By the way, arm the recovery crew with something Electric-type, or something that can use Electric-type moves. One of the guests has a Gyarados."

"You know, there's only one kind of Pokémon on supply that's Electric-type..."

"Is Gyarados weak to anything else?"

"Uh...yawn...I don't think so."

"Then use the Electric-types!"

-_-_-_-

Why is the Decorus Woods so big?

Steph felt like she had been trudging for an hour. (although it was probably only twelve minutes.) The scenery---cliffside aside---was practically the same as it was when she first escaped.  She wondered if Seth had escaped, and if she would meet up with him soon.

"Sunkern!"

A Sunkern popped into view. It was beaming at her. It waved its leaves as if greeting her.

"Hey, could you point the way out of here?"

"Sunkern sunkern sunkern!"

"Sorry, I don't understand you."

"Sunk..." the Sunkern frustratedly muttered. Conveniently, this truncation of its name seemed to describe its mood.

"What? You want me to catch you?"

"Sunkern sunkern!" It tried to nod, but, lacking a midsection or legs, only fell flat on its face. Steph helped it up.

"Sorry, I already caught Sunkern in my previous journeys. I don't feel the need to capture any more. Besides, you're really..."---she was about to say 'really weak'---"not my favorite kind of Pokémon."

"Sunkern!" It fumed. Steph could guess what it meant by that: "Speciesist!"

"Could you please point me out?"

"Sunk." A no of some sort.

"Do I have to catch you to make you show me the way out?"

"Sunkern sunkern!" Apparently it liked Steph's implying she would catch it.

"Er, no. I can just find another Pokémon. Good day."

"Sunk." Frowning, it thrust a leaf at a tree. Steph followed the point and find a Basigniom.

"I'll go ask it."

"Sunkern sunkern sunk." It deprecatingly muttered. It bounced ahead of her, and, if as if explaining things to a slow child, pantomimed seeing a signpost and then going on the correct route out. It was difficult to understand, (due to the Sunkern's lack of arms or legs) but eventually Steph understood, and followed in the direction the Basigniom pointed. "You would find more Trainers if you lived near the beginning of the route!" Steph called behind to the Sunkern helpfully. Steph didn't look back far enough to see it, and the Sunkern did not make any sound that indicated it heard her. Maybe all it was doing was rolling its eyes? (Steph's guess happened to be correct.)

Only later, following the path the Basigniom had indicated, did she realize she could have just used her Pokédex to find out the fungus Pokémon's ability to lead the way. I have wasted so much time...
