Eterna Forest - Moss Rock Brush-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fire dialect indeed.
But that was a mere blip in the forest. Both Addanc and Nazar knew this. It wasn't just them either. The two Zoroark stood in front of a dark figure slightly shorter than they were a bit of distance away from all the others.
Scouting allies have heard talk of potential hostiles in the forest. We look to you to decide how we should proceed, Diabolos.
, Addanc spoke in a dark dialect towards the figure.
I see. An important finding. Thank you again, Addanc. You and your brother are quite a help. We shall see to it that we derail them if only a small amount. Rally the others. We have some work to do.
, the figure replied most tentatively.
That foolish girl with a tree friend can only be distracted for so long. She's entirely oblivious for now. We need to keep it that way. Of course, let me handle that part.
The figure then proceeded to hover into the air and shuffle foward. The two Zoroark looked to each other and grinned.
Nazar, let's get to it. I'll get "Princess" to run decoy with her group. Shouldn't be hard to convince. You go an contact the scouting parties. Give them specific instructions as follows: "Stalk the hostile group they found."
Very well, Addanc, dear brother. If you can, get "Bolts" and "Jingle" involved, for I fear "Princess" and her group will be able to do little. If the scouting parties are to be believed, then her group would be at a small disadvantage.
Very well, I'll do that too. Good luck, brother.
Following the exchange, the two split ways. However, the figure that had wandered off could feel the sense of presence, and zeroed in on it's position.
Hmm heh hah! I do believe I've found the first step...
With a bit of malice mixed with cunning, the figure struck himself with a powerful blow to wound himself greatly, while feeling empowered as a result, he looked visibly hurt and stumbled about.

Eterna Forest - Position of Elisabeth and her Trevenent-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In his stumbling, the figure would move in the direction that'd reveal his presence towards Elisabeth and her Trevenent.
He looked like a mess, and would time his decoy until within her line of sight before "fainting" as they'd say. Well, not entirely fainted, but indeed in a pinch. A weakened Malamar in Eterna Forest was a bit unusual, but he was "hurting" badly. Surely she'd take note?
It was what he hoped for anyways.

Eterna Forest - Southeast Corner Brush-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addanc approached a secret hideout of sorts. Hidden carefully among trees, it was a downright improbable to find location. However, certain circles knew all about it.
Nonetheless, he approached with caution and took the guise of a local Buneary.
Hey, Princess! Come out and play! It's me, Addanc!
, he stated most cutely.
Within moments, a Lilligant emerged and smiled.
Ahh, Addanc! What brings you to our little abode?
, she inquired.
Addanc responded most hastily.
Well, Princess, I figured, well, that we needed some aid. Our operations here are in danger of being revealed! There are reports of hostile individuals roaming about if scouting allies are to be believed. Namely, knowing how comely and enchanting your group can be, we humbly request your aid in this time.
If it's for the good of our group and our plans, then I'd be more than happy to oblige. Ladies~!
With the Lilligant's call, a Mismagius materialized, a Gardevoir teleported to the location, and a Meowstic emerged from the secret hideout. The Lilligant began talking at once.
Our good friend Addanc, and his compatriots, require our help. So we're going to go help him!
, she stated. Her compatriots spoke up regarding the plan.
Ooh~ This ought to be fun. Mehehehehe.
, the Mismagius muttered, while the Meowstick seemed to role her eyes.
If we must...I'd rather we just kill them or something. It'd be more fun.
The Gardevoir adjusted a pair of glasses that made her look all the wiser.
Now now, think, Temperance! This could be a chance to actually make progress for a change!
This comment only made the Meowstic sigh. In fact, the Meowstic's dreary and bored monotone seemed to incense Addanc, but he kept his cool. These were some beautiful ladies after all! He wouldn't ruin his chances that easily!
Very well, ladies. I leave you to it. You know how to contact me.
, he left with a bit of a wink.
He then raced off to go find Bolts and Jingle. They'd be more difficult to contact, that was for sure, but the Chateau was easy to find. With him racing off, the ladies all made their move. The Lilligant explaining a plan of approach to them.

Eterna Forest - Position of Tungsten, Clipper, and George-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was here, near where the trio was talking, that the Meowstic noted. She made the first approach, her attitude and species rarity and popularity meaning she'd be very easy to connect with (what trainer didn't have an Espurr at the very least running around their houses?). She'd approach the trio too. Clearly a girl, her feminine stance and white color a giveaway.
Oh...it's other Pokemon...you guys seem suspicious being in a group. I'd hope you weren't up to any dangerous business. Trainers around here get quite eager when encountering hordes of Pokemon. Err, you aren't looking to cause trouble, right?
She asked these questions with a voice that retained a monotone and bored feel to it, yet had a sense of power and intent behind it. She must've been experienced in at least some of the matters she brought to the front.
