Jan's trek through the marshes was dangerous, but not overly unpleasant as some swamps. It was easy to tell where the ground was solid and where it was loose. Various pokemon and beast tracks littered the soft muddy earth, as well as more than a few rotten and at times half eaten fruits and berries.<br/>It was not long for her to find markings of a male froakie nearby among all the tracks of other pokemon. It seemed he was rather close by and of decent power, as markings from water shurikens on a dead tree would attest to.<br/>It was only as she passed through a patch of thick mangrove roots that she managed to spot the pokemon.<br/><br/>The froakie was sitting in the center of a massive leaf, his sandal clad feet crossed under his black shorts with blue patterns. His top was completely bare, exposing a tanned athletic form with many scars. He drew steady breaths, seeming to meditate as he healed himself. "...That stupid Toxicroak..." He muttered within earshot, gritting his teeth for a moment as he raised fingerless glove clad hands to rub in a frustrated manner at the unruly deep blue hair atop his head. "I should have known learning his own signature move would be worthless against him...ugh, and I had worked my ass off to learn it too." Lowering his hands from his hair he exhaled and returned to his meditative pose. "okay...so, that didnt work...what are we going to try next? Poison type move was a stretch... But could I learn grass maybe? No, cant do that...and against his poison it would be useless...maybe ground? hmm...."<br/><br/><br/>The rain forest was vibrant and full of life, with new sounds and smells around every turn. The dark, loamy soil was as soft as most carpets beneath Anthony's feet, and there were many tracks and tons of evidence of wild pokemon around. Yet at the same time, non of the tracks seemed recent, or were just confusing to the young man. Some tracks that did stand out however were those of a wild pig! fresh and definately close by. The animal would be of a decent size as well, enough to feed himself, jan, thier pokemon and the workers setting up camp for a few days at least.<br/>Travalling deeper into the woods, Evidence of rare pokemon like Bulbasaur and Snivy became apparent. yet it was not long till he found the pig as it rummaged about in the loamy dirt, chewing on grubs and fallen fruit. The animal was no pigglet however, as it was a bristly beast with thick hide and weighing quite a bit! The boar was much larger than the tracks gave hint to, and it had clearly seen its share of fights judging from the scars on its back and sides.
