Jake only glanced back a little at the slight protest before he listened to the commotion.  It didn’t stop him from moving forward at all.    He kept Eve in his arms as he turned from them and approached the opening in the clearing.  Moving forward when he was sure they were fine.  Though not sure what they were all looking at, but none of them were panicking about it.<br/><br/>As he approached, the grove, it was impossible for him to miss that sickly smell while passing by the flowers.  Even eve could smell it, her ears laying back against her neck and a light growl coming from her at the sickly sweet scent.  Jake made sure to be careful not to touch any one of the flowers as he moved forward.  The smell, and the sinking feeling in his gut, made him think that even disturbing the flowers would be a very bad idea.  He only froze for a moment when he heard that rustling sound.<br/><br/>The sound drew the human and the Pokemon’s eyes to it, to see that flower rise, then the pop.  A dust was released into the air.  Jake didn’t even think about what he did next.  With the clue of the bitter smell under the flower scent, Jake knew that dust could not be good.  Immediately he dashed forward.  It would be faster to get out of the flowers by going forward than it would be to go back.  Jake was instantly glad he dashed forward, sprinting the last dozen feet to the clearing.  Away from the flowers.  He could hear the cascading rustling and the following pop of more of the flowers releasing a cloud of particles into the air.<br/><br/>Jake held his breath before leaping the last few feet into the clearing and scrambling far away from the odd flowers.  Only then, when he was sure that he was clear did he roll over and look behind him to where the cloud was raising over the flowers.  To see he had no way to go back the way he had come with the cloud of dust released from the flowers.<span style="color: green">“Well… shit…”</span>he cursed, letting Eve go again onto the ground, though she didn’t leave his side.  Jake moved to stand, to look around the clearing, to see where he was, and if he had just made the biggest mistake of the trip.  Eve was doing basically the same.  Her eyes and ears darting around, looking for any threat to her trainer.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
