Welcome to Gaia! ::

Almost as soon as Aden found one Yungoos, he found another that looked to be just as inexperienced. This time, though, he wanted Wooloo to recover and left them alone, hoping he hadn't just run into a nest of them or something.

A sudden bout of trees rustling and a cursory glance would reveal a Mankey seemingly jumping and swinging from the branches, likely in search of food. Since they seemed to pay no mind to Aden, he figured to just leave them be and continued walking.

"...didn't I see one of these before?" Aden asked himself, seeing another Fomantis walking around. By now, he felt Wooloo would be able to handle things and had enough time to get some fight back in her. He doubted they'd be anything too rough either, if the last one was any indication at least. They'd turn to see the hybrid and backed up, less certain about the idea of sticking around. "Right. Wooloo, let's do this," he said before letting her back out, petting her lightly in a bid to make up for all the battles- especially the one with El Pato. "Tackle them before they try to run." Wooloo would start rolling towards the Fomantis, but to Aden's surprise, running wasn't within the plans. Instead, they'd hold their ground and brace for the attack, using that to allow for a quick Slash in return.

This didn't seem to faze Wooloo much beyond not expecting the attack, catching her off-guard as much as it did Aden. "It's fine, it's fine. While you're still close, Double Kick!" Trying to get Fomantis back off of her, she'd turn and kick with her rear legs to send Fomantis back, quickly rolling to follow up with a second one to send them even further back. Practically screaming in response, Fomantis would send a Razor Leaf flurry to force her to back off and brace herself. The attack seemed to be less kosher than previous ones too, managing to catch a c***k in her wooly "armor" and leaving her in rough shape- rougher, really. But Fomantis also looked winded.

"Maybe... Wooloo, keep back. Let's see if we can find a faster solution here," Aden spoke up, taking out a Safari Ball and chucking it at Fomantis. Maybe they'd be a decent addition to his team, with some work.

To his luck, the second one proved to be more successful despite an awful lot of wobbling and shaking and feeling like an eternity before it clicked and was whisked away for potential evaluation later. "Good... still got one, though." Aden said to himself, petting Wooloo again before recalling her. "Maybe just a little more looking before we head out here. Besides, think Wooloo's gonna need the rest after all this."

Nodding to himself, he'd give the forest a final once over.

What might've been more humorous, though, was that same Ferroseed ramming into a Yungoos in their hurried attempts to escape, to which they simply bounced off, rolled in place again, and resumed where they were going as Yungoos ran off in a panic over the suddenly speedy, spiky seed slamming straight into them.
