A legendary, hmm? That would be quite a sight to see. He'd have time to think about that later! Now the group could see the islet in the distance. Well, it wasn't much of a distance anymore! It was right there in their view. Ezra could see a tiny beach area that was around the place, almost like an entrance into the dense forest around it. "Look at it, it's so pretty!" He gasped. Once they got to the shore, Ezra made his way onto the sand. Agh... Sand! He wrung his clothes out and kept his feet in the calm waves coming to shore.

He took a step on the shore and took a good moment to really look at it. The place was really beautiful, the small islet reminded him of the beautiful beaches in Hoenn. His Hydreigon stepped out and vigorously shaking the water onto the others. The three headed dragon yawned loudly, and looked to N waiting for him to get onto the shore with them. Saul on the other hand, walked ahead of them. "Let's go, I want to see if there's anything interesting around here."
Tom
Ezra put his hands up since he didn't want any water in his face! Even so, it was cooling to have the droplets hit them. He looked back to make sure N was all right too. Before he would forget, he pulls out his phone and takes a quick picture of the area. Maybe he'd get to come back here during his vacation! ~~When he was dry!~~He took Saul's words into account and nodded. "Okay, dear. We're right behind you."
Ezra looked back and forth; he couldn't get over how much this reminded him of the places back home either. The place was alive; Wingull and a few Pelipper took to the skies, while Tynamo and Wimpod scurried around where the waves and sand met. As they walked around, there was one side of the islet where the environment went from soft, sandy beaches to rocky tidepools, just under the surface of the water at the time.

Hop could feel the tree sway when something hit it. "No, no no-" Hop shook his head. This couldn't possibly get worse, could it? Did the Barbaracle team up and decide to *Shake* The tree? He'd have no chance at this point! *And those poor Pokemon he wanted to tend to... What would they do?* Hop then heard a thud. He peered down, blinking in surprise. With that sense of fashion and matching hair color to his, it was none other than...
"Lee!!" He called out. Relief washed over him, but not for long Panic rose when seeing the Barbaracle closing in on Leon. Where were his Pokemon?! Hop worried about what as Leon scrambled up the tree, right to where he was situated. He took another glance down at the bottom before looking up to his brother. "Well, you're here!" Hop laughed a bit. It was a little nervous though. "So uh... Nessa and Sonia are on their way? M-maybe...?" He scooted onto one of the branches that was a bit more sturdy. From his shoulder, a Spinarak popped out and made herself visible to Leon. "Oh! My new friend! She's been here with me since I was cr—anyway! She's been keeping me company!"
Jonathan
The claws of the Pokémon below could be felt cutting the air and Leon could only wonder what it'll feel like ~~cutting his flesh~~ "Huh? Oh, yes, Sonia and Nessa should be coming... Eventually." The Pokémon below are dangerous. While he thought it's nice they're out and about enjoying their time at home, they're being a bit aggressive, aren't they? Leon still clings onto the trunk as Hop relaxed himself on a branch. He notices a green spider Pokémon appearing and wondering if it was going to attack. "Hop, there's-" But his brother was already giving an explanation. The little thing couldn't hurt a fly anyway (~~even though spiders eat flies~~). "Nice to meet you, little one!" Leon calls out to the Pokémon and giving it a wide smile. There seems to be a lot of Pokémon all the way out here from the central part of the island, so it's such a sight! Leon tries to also climb on a branch but heard it creak, before deciding to stay hanging on. "Say, baby brother, why are you all the way out here anyway?" Sure, for research, but all the way out in an *Islet*?
Johnnie
Good, they just had to wait it out. It didn't matter when, as long as they were out of here at *Some* Point! Then again, he'd wished he could have gotten some more notes down. He really did see some interesting Pokémon out here before all this. He wondered how long Spinarak would stick with him. He watched as Leon tried to move branches; he worried though, and that was confirmed when the branch made a noise he didn't want to hear. Maybe the one above him would be a lot more supportive. Though Hop felt a tinge of annoyance at hearing 'baby', he let it go. He shifts his clipboard and papers to his lap. "I just saw this place and I thought it would be nice and quiet! There's tons of different Pokémon out here too, so I *Had* To see them up close. Oh, like these!" He shows his paper; there was a little doodle of Tynamo. "Look how small they are! Most of them scattered away but some stayed. One of them even levitated out of the water, isn't that cool?! I watched the water and I'm thinking it's actually an electric type rather than water." 

Hop starts drawing another one on the paper. "I saw two other Pokémon that needed help! One was hurt across its stomach and it couldn't move. So I tried to get closer to it but another little one jumped out. It uh—hmm..." 
He goes back to drawing. Both weren't very good, but one looked like a sea otter and the other one wasn't distinguishable except for a large fin on its head.

"And then... That's when I heard the steps."
Jonathan
So admittedly the drawings aren't that... Good, besides that "Tynamo" Earlier. But Leon knows it's just sketches. Otherwise, he doesn't recognize the other two. "Amazing!" He comments. "Flying fish? I would like to know more about all of them, too. If we weren't stuck up here." He glances down. "But since we are, might as well make the best of it!" For now, there's the Barbaracle, but surely there would be other kind of Pokémon too. Unless, if it's really territorial, there would be only Barbaracle around. Which would be boring to study since they have some at home near Outer Spikemuth.

Leon tried climbing up higher to find a sturdier branch to sit on. Because if he had to hang on here for ~~two hours~~ a while, his stamina would deplete to zero real quick. Climbing up into the leaves, though, his face would get smacked by something. His hands nearly slip from the trunk, before gritting his teeth and catching back on. What looks like a hanging pot plant stares back Leon. It's dangling on a black stem which seems to be connecting to its head. *"Wrmm..."* It coos. "What- what Pokémon is this?" Leon asks, his face scrunching up from his sore nose. The Pokémon in question seems harmless.
Edith
After a few minutes, her and Nessa had arrived on Drednaw. She jumped off of him and immediately saw the huge Pokemon surrounding the tree. "Oh boy.." She said quietly and put a hand to her head. She did bring some other Pokemon just incase, but she turned to her friend to see if she was going to use any of hers.
Della
Jumping onto the shore, Nessa looked up to see, ugh seriously? She looked up to see both Hop *And* Leon stuck in the tree. "HOP!" She yelled. "LEON! What the hell, how did you both get stuck up there?" She facepalmed, then shook her head. "You know what? Doesn't matter, just stay there, we're gonna get you down, okay?" She didn't wait for either of them to say anything, instead, she picked up about the largest rock she could throw with one hand and in her normal method, lifted her leg, balancing one foot, before chucking the rock into the group of barbaracle, splitting them up. A loud thud told Nessa that she hit *Something* And they pulled their attention away from the tree ~~and the screaming boys~~ and turned towards the ladies.

"Guys!" She called. "Do you have a way off the island? I'm gonna lead them away with Sonia, but you two have to get down from the tree!" She picked up another rock, throwing it, just so she *Really* Had their attention. Drednaw was now on the beach with its trainer, and Nessa turned to Sonia. "Get ready to run, or battle... I think I pissed them off..."
Edith
She reached for her belt and took out a Pokeball. "I'll battle." She didn't do anything flashy to throw her ball, she just, underhanded it. Out came Rillaboom, who took a moment to process what's going on. He looked up in the tree and saw the Galar Champion and Sonia's Assistant up in the tree. '-.-' was the look he gave them before looking back to the giant Pokemon.
Johnnie
"Yeah. We might see some again when we get down." He wanted to say *If*, but he decided not to. He watched Leon climb again, hoping this time he'd be successful. Hop'a eyes widen when seeing his brother slip. "Lee!!" He gasped, sighing when the male latched onto the tree again. 
Ah, he just got smacked in the face with something. ~~Not out of the ordinary to be honest.~~ it was... A Pokémon! 

Hop couldn't hold in a snort. He stared at the Pokémon for a minute before sketching it onto his paper. Seeing that it was covered in leaves and other plants, it was likely a grass type. But it could be a bug type too. "I don't know, but I drew it so I can ask about it later!" He wanted to get closer but he was still comfy in his spot. Oh, did someone call for him? Who was that? 
"N-Nessa! Is that you?!" Thank Arceus she was here! She knew what to do! Or... Maybe he spoke too soon? "We—okay!" He was going to say they could go by the sandbar, but it proved to not be an option at the moment. The tides were still high so the sandbridge he was able to walk across to get here was still under the water. 

"Please be careful down there! They're not happy as is! And I think we either have to swim or we wait for the tides to change!"
Jonathan
The Wormadam continues to dangle and wiggle in front of Leon's face, he hoping it won't swing itself at him again for the laughs. Just then, he heard a rather loud voice that is unmistakably- "Nessa!" Trying to turn his head, his grip would slip again, causing himself to slide down the trunk a bit, maybe got himself some bark burns, but it's okay. "Long story! Uh, actually no. Charizard got tired. Hop doing research—" But he was cut off from Nessa when she made the decision to help them somehow. "Oh- you got it!" Nessa did her thing. She had the gall to disturb the bustling Barbaracle, them splitting and turning to the new prey.

Once it seems the wild Pokémon turned a blind eye to the brothers Leon jumped from the tree. His Pokéballs are still scattered on the ground, actually, near where the girls stood. "Alright, Hop. Where are your Pokémon?" Although he vaguely remember in that app that Hop mentioned they were playing at the beach to relax. "Hm. I could go for a swim right about now!" He partly joked. He'd flinch when he hears his Pokéballs getting kicks around by the Barbaracle. He'd dive in saving them if there wasn't the likability of him getting minced.
Odessa
As Saul continued walking, he couldn't help hear loud distant voices. Flakes of water flew out the air as he shook his head. *Must be my imagination.* He thought to himself. Saul paused, waiting for his group to catch up with him. "Ezra, do you hear anything?" He looked around the place suspiciously. There's no way anyone would be foolish to put themselves into trouble especially in a place like this.
Johnnie
"Sorry!" He called out, rubbing the back of his head. "They're all at the beach! I wasn't supposed to be here long! Certainly not more than 2 hours..." He sighed. Man, this really was all his fault. *Like usual...* He wanted to help, but how? Maybe he could try and explain more of what happened before he got into the tree. 

"Lee! Nessa! Sonia! If it helps any, I don't think they're trying to simply attack us! I think they're trying to protect something!" He called out. He didn't know how that would work, but... Maybe he could get to the rocky parts of the islet again and see if the two of *Them* Were still there.
Della
"Here goes nothing! Sonia, now!" She said, throwing a final rock at the barbaracle that now seemed pretty committed to attacking the girls. "Drednaw, use crunch on one of them, hurry!" Nessa ordered. And her pokemon sprung into action, leaping into the hoard and crushing some of them with its immense jaw strength. Not the best move she had access too, but it was the only thing that wasn't resisted. "Sonia, I'm gonna need your help, I'll focus on getting the boys down from the tree, you keep them busy!"

Nessa sprinted past drednaw as it chomped on another barabaracle and b-lined for the tree. Sure enough, Hop and Leon were still up there, and as she ran, something bashed her in the knee and Nessa went flying off her feet before hitting the ground. "Agh!" She screamed, having scraped up her leg and elbow from the fall. "So that's how you want to play huh? Golisopod, get out here!" Nessa leapt to her feet, throwing another pokeball which brought her golisopod into the fight.
"Don't worry boys, we *Totally* Have this under control!
Golisopod! Shadow claw!"
Tom
Ezra listened for a moment, now stopping so he could focus on trying to pick up any sounds. "No dear, I don't think—oh, do you think there may be people here? Perhaps inside all that thick vegetation?" He asked, gesturing to the area they were still walking around. 
He looked over to the tide pools and the wet sand, blinking when seeing fins sticking out of the ground. One of them stuck out more than it should; since it wasn't a fin!
"Oh, look! I think those are Mudkip. But what is that with them? It doesn't look like one." 
Ezra decided to go check that out instead. "It'll just be a minute." 
Sure enough, it wasn't. It was actually a little Oshawott with a Mudkip by its side. The Mudkip was currently trying to nudge the wet sand over its stomach, for some reason.
Adrian
Stepping onto the shore was nice for N, as he brushed his foot against the wet sand of the shore. "Aahhh," He said, with a yawn stretching his arms up and looking around at the other two. "Alright, alright," He said, in response to Saul, "I guess we should look around." N caught up to Ezra first, seeing that he was preoccupied with something. "Aah, what's this-OH!!! An oshawott!! How delightful!" N muses smiling brightly. "Aah, hello there friend, what ever is going on with you... Two?" He tipped his head, eyes now wide like those of a child. For sitting next to the oshawott was a pokemon that the team plasma king didn't recognize. It was almost like a blue frog of sorts, with a wide mouth and beady little eyes.
"Oh, hello there! ❤" N said, now happier than ever before that day. "And who might you be?"
Odessa
The Hydreigon roared at N, greeting him for finally catching up with the rest of the group. It looked curiously at the two pokemon. Meanwhile, Saul crossed his arms as he wasn't really interested with the two water types. In fact, he was quite dissapointed as he expected something big, and challenging like a Gyrados or a Dragonair! "Let's find something else. I'm not here to babysit," He said impatiently.
Tom
Ezra followed after. Did he hear N say an Oshawott? Those were so rare in the wild! Well, very uncommon at least. Ezra bent down and looked at the small thing, smiling to himself. Seeing how excited N got was even more endearing. 
"That's a Mudkip. They're native to Hoenn, but they live in beaches or swamps. As long as they have murky waters or wet soils. " He informed. Upon further inspection though, there was somsthing keeping Oshawott from moving. 
"Hold on. Where is your scalchop, baby?" He asked, moving a hand closer to the Oshawott. He knew it probably wasn't a good idea—

Mudkip looked ovet and sprayed water at all three of them! It made a cry before charging for... Saul! Out of the three, he looked the most threatening. The Mudkip went over and charged for the man, limping a bit as he lept to headbutt him in the stomach. 

"Agh, watch out!!" Ezra said, even though it was too late. While that happened, he tried to pick up the Oshawott to see what was wrong. When holding her he noticed a large gash over her stomach.
Adrian
Nodding along as Ezra introduced him to the Mudkip, he just wanted to pet it, and give it a big hug. "Oh, thank you for the information Ezra, but I much rather get to know it myself^^" And then, N immediately pushed the man aside, sitting in front of the mudkip.
"So, how are you? Oh, where are my manners? My name is N, oh it's wonderful to meat-" He squinted, leaning in to see what was going on with the Oshawott. "Oh, honey, what happened to you?" He asked, sighing sorrowfully. "Aah... Hmm, Ezra. We need to get her help." He turned to the Oshawott, apparently ignoring whatever was going on with Saul. "Tell me friend, what happened to you?"

*"Agh, watch out!"*

"Hmm?" N asked, gently. "Ezra, I wouldn't pick her up, she's not bleeding too bad, but if you move her, I'm not sure it will stay that way. She's... She's shocked. She won't answer anything I ask..." He frowned...
