[FIN] A Game of Hide-and-Seek

[Tymiko]

In response to Hen's question, Ty shrugged. "Like you said, people are mean. Heh...and I'm pretty sure. Mewtwos are genetically enhanced clones of Mews, which is why they don't look exactly the same." She dipped her head. "Thanks. I think she's awesome too." Mostly for being able to trust after what other humans did.

Glancing back to Flynn, the girl shrugged again. "Not easier for me. I don't feel like talking about anything." Truthfully she didn't mind if Flynn suspected or found out it was her. It was likely to happen eventually, but she didn't really want to discuss it with a man she barely knew. Especially one who claimed to be Yuri's best friend. Likely he didn't know what real friendship was either.

Sensing the Mewtwo's unease, Ty said to her, "Indigo, you can go back if you like. I won't be much longer." She knelt by the berry bush again to pick a few more.  

[Gwennythe]

Something nagged at the back of Henrietta's mind- some little piece of information that she couldn't -quite- place when Tymiko mentioned Mewtwos being 'enhanced' and therefore different... Something was familiar about the idea, but she couldn't remember why.

She still couldn't take her eyes off of the pokémon... and Bistra, still on her head, had gone oddly quiet.

At some point, without Henrietta realising, the tilt of conversation had shifted, and, to her ears, it sounded almost as though Flynn was accusing Tymiko of being part of what had happened.  

[BlackPidgeot]

Indigo shook her head at Ty's offer to leave. "No, I'm not leaving," she said stubbornly, earning a glance from the blonde man before it was refocused on the girl.

Flynn Scifo was generally a patient man with a long fuse. But judging by the hard look on his face, that fuse was starting to grow short.

"Then you leave me no choice," he said before starting to walk towards the girl.

"NO!" The Mewtwo shouted from their minds, causing Flynn to flinch then reach for his sword when the Pokemon advanced aggressively. This caused Indigo to stop, but instead a nearby log came flying through the air, aimed indescriminantly at both Flynn and Henrietta.

The log slammed into Flynn knocking him down easily.

With a snarl Repede lept for Indigo, teeth bared in a bite attack.  

[Tymiko]

It took a moment for Ty to understand what Flynn intended when he started walking toward her. She hadn't believed he would resort to taking her back against her will, but clearly she had been wrong. No matter; she was confident enough in her abilities to run and hide, especially in the forest setting. She wouldn't leave without putting up a fight, either.

Indigo's involvement, however, had not been expected. "NO!" Tymiko cried, dropping the berries and running toward Flynn with her hands up to keep him from drawing his sword if she could. Thus she didn't see the log as it came hurtling toward all the humans, nor Repede as he lept to attack the Mewtwo. She fell back alongside Flynn, trapped under the log.

"Indigo! Indigo, watch out! Run!" she screamed, fearing that the Legendary would come to harm.  

[Gwennythe]

Bistra flew toward the Mewtwo when she seemed to move aggressively; the bird wasn't -much- of a fighter, but she was determined to defend the humans, as Repede seemed to be.
Fluffies of down launched from her wings as she spun in the air and waggled them, aiming Feather Dance toward Indigo.

The log caught, it seemed, all three of the humans then, as Hen' completely unprepared for the sudden attack found herself airborne, going backwards, and then the next thing she realised, she was on her back, under the log too.
She wasn't even sure if she was hurt or not; simply stunned for the moment.  

[BlackPidgeot]

Indigo looked on in horror as the log hit Tymiko as well. So stunned that she failed to react quickly enough and found herself surrounded by feathers and teeth latching onto her leg.

Crying out in pain, she tried to fight back with a weak confusion but that didn't faze Repede as he went for another attack.

Deciding to retreat, Indigo lept up into a tree. The Mewtwo weakened and frightened. But she obviously still had something left in her as the log was lifted into the air and set aside.

Flynn sat up, cringing in pain and clutching his right arm.  

[Tymiko]

With Indigo out of sight, the girl's screams at her ceased in relief. As the log was withdrawn, she glanced to Hen and Flynn as she scrambled to her feet, ready to flee into the woods as far away as she could get from them as possible. They may have been injured, but she was confident they were alive. As long as Indigo didn't have Ty to worry about, she was fairly sure that the Mewtwo would be okay too. Hopefully they could regroup later away from Flynn and Hen.  

[Gwennythe]

As the log was removed, Bistra looked back, and saw that Henrietta, though stunned, and un-moving, certainly seemed to be alive... She wasn't sure about injuries, but the other girl was about to try and run away...

The bird made a judgement and fluttered down again, trying to place herself in front of Tymiko, where she would start to Sing.
She knew the human was supposed to come back with them... And she'd been hit by the log too... Bistra didn't want any humans running off while they might be hurt...

Of course, so close to Henrietta still, who was unable to react, the song would likely put her to sleep, if no one else.
Bistra wasn't entirely sure that was a bad thing.  

[BlackPidgeot]

Tymiko would suddenly find a massive body in her path as Uniceros stepped infront of her with a snort. As if daring her to try and outrun him.

Flynn, whose first priority was Henrietta, leaned over and shook the girl lightly. "Henrietta, are you all right?"

However as the Swablu began to sing, Uniceros blinked groggily then dropped his head as he fell asleep. Flynn also slumping over as he succumbed to it as well.

Indigo would have used the opportunity to save Ty but there was still a pair of Growlithes below her. Both growling at the Mewtwo who clung to the tree like a frightened kitten.  

[Tymiko]

The girl gasped as she almost ran straight into the flaming unicorn. Instead, she skidded to a halt so fast that her feet slid out from under her, eyes wide as she registered first Flynn's pokemon and then Henrietta's.

"No! No, don't!" she begged the cloud bird, clasping her hands over her ears as the bird began to sing. "Please!" Her eyelids already began to feel heavy, though, as she tried to crawl away. She didn't seem to be the only one.

"Indigo..." she murmured, the sounds of the fire dogs growing fainter and fainter as she began to lose consciousness. "...Just...go..." In a matter of minutes, all three humans were out.  

[Gwennythe]

Someone was asking her something... What was that question?
She knew it was a question...
Flynn was asking it... but what did those words mean? What was the question?
And then... then Bistra was singing and everything felt strange and she felt so tired that she knew she had to sleep...
But she hadn't answered Flynn.
Henrietta's mind grabbed an answer, any answer, at random as she started to drift off.
"... Wan' pancakes, please..."

As the humans slipped into sleep, Hen's gear began to ring, Jace's call missed while they were down.
It prompted a reaction from one pokémon of Hen's, though it wasn't Bistra.
As the gear rang off, Gummy's ball wriggled, and then the little reptile was out.
He looked left, and right, apparently taking in the scene... and then decided to curl up too. If it was nap time, it was nap time, and who was he to argue with nap time?  

[Tymiko]

"Nnh...ah - AHH!" Tymiko sat up with a cry, startled by some nameless nightmare. She took one glance before realizing where she was and remembering what had happened. Almost everyone was asleep now...but Indigo. Where was Indigo?!

Jumping to her feet, she ran to the tree she last saw Indigo go up, unsure of how long she'd been asleep.  

[BlackPidgeot]

A good indicator would be the pair of Growlithes sitting and staring up at the tree. When Tymiko approached they looked at her. Repede curled a lip in warning but otherwise did nothing. He couldn't catch and drag her back to Sandalwood himself after all.

"Are you okay?" Came the voice of the Mewtwo to the girls mind. Indigo peering down from her perch in the tree.  

[Gwennythe]

Gummy snorted, in a slight snore, from where he was curled next to Henrietta, still out cold, on the ground.

Bistra, sitting just above the passed out people watched Ty' warily, but like Repede, she wasn't sure how she could take Tymiko back, and thus she did nothing but watch.  

[Tymiko]

The girl looked over the remaining pokemon still awake. Upon realizing they weren't going to attack, however, she dipped her head to them - perhaps out of respect or gratitude - before turning her attention back to the Mewtwo. She didn't really want trouble if she could help it, after all, and she was sorry Flynn and Henrietta had gotten hurt, but she wasn't about to give up hers and possibly Indigo's freedom so easily. At the very least, it would leave Indigo lonely again, and that might have been worse than imprisonment or capture.

"I'm fine," she called back to the voice in the tree. "Come on, let's get out of here before they wake up."
