The inside of the house was shocking, it would seem that it's little more than a shell built around a small grove of trees. The ceiling is open to the sky and dozens of bug type pokemon are roaming freely. Some hanging from branches others buzzing about, the smell of fresh mulch and overripe fruit is extremely notable.

Tsuru handles the lurching Unown gate with his trademark calmness. "Well, that was certainly a unique sensation..." Yoko shook his head, trying to shake off the feeling. Tsuru was taking in their surroundings as Chou was talking and was caught unawares when she threw her arms around him, holding his arms up awkwardly and looking slightly unsure of how to proceed after being embraced. He looked relieved when the embrace ended.

"Perhaps, but we may be able to find some hints as to what is going on," he said, following her into the building. Seeing the interior of the room he felt right at home with the indoor garden, though the abundance of bug pokemon was unsettling.

"Interesting. What kind of trees are these?," he asked, walking up and gingerly touching one of the branches.

"I'm not sure, they were already here when I built my gym...But I know the fruit from that one is super sweet, and this one has the prettiest flowers in spring and the sap from this one is really good for your skin and the leaves from this one make a very powerful laxative. " She said running from one tree to the other.

"And that one isn't a tree, it's a rotting stump, But it did used to be a tree now I use it to grow tasty mushrooms for my lunch." she said pointing to the broken off remains of a tree a variety of fungus growing out of it. There were also a few pokemon crawling around on it that had mushrooms growing from their back.

"It's certainly an interesting house. Very in tune with nature." Sly looked at the bugs, the trees, okay, the overripe fruit and mulch was irritating his nose a little but so far he liked this gym leader. He wasn't quite sure how they were meant to find dealing with her stressful yet... someone ruder might have called Chou scatterbrained but it seemed to him more that the Gym Leader found everything equally important and worth her time.

"If Azalea's population is that spread out perhaps this thing is picking them off from around the edges and working its way in. If we had an idea of its movements we could probably set a trap and ambush it."

Jouto arrived riding on that wave of lurching oddity, his stomach fine from the constant rides on Fer. He saw his companions get pulled into the gym. He followed quickly behind.

As he followed behind he was daydreaming after hearing the comment on idea's of what coffee could be.Cakes, and..... Coffee? what is it? is it going to be sweet? Is it going to be corse? is it going to be spicy? Stocky? What could it be

Maigo grinned seeing the grove, taking in the wooded area. He followed Chou on her tour through the area paying attention to her descriptions of what tree produced what, eager to get information about edible plants.

"This place is lovely Chou-sama" he said quite at ease in the forest environment "Are all the bugs here yours or are they wild?" he asked curiously.

"A little of each I don't really own any pokemon they all just do want I want." Chou said holding out her arm a Spinarak dropped down from above and landed on her arm it slowly crawled along her arm and ended up on top of her head.

"Now as for the trap I have no idea if that would work, whatever it is shows up all over with no pattern....other than the fact that it's always near Ilex forest." she said walking along farther as several more bug pokemon began landing on her, clinging to her hair and sleeves. A few smaller ones began landing on everyone else as well.

Chou lead everyone into a small building that was covered in ivy "This is where I keep my food." she said opening the door she shook off all the bugs before stepping inside. Inside the room was decorated like a high end tea house.

"Now than let's get to the snacks." She said setting to work boiling some water, while it heated up she set out several cakes of all sorts "Alright take which ever one you want." sh said picking one up with her hands and taking a large bite out it.

"With this all ready I'll tell you what little I can about what I think it is that has been taking people....I think it's the forest itself." she said in a low whisper "Since I was a little girl I've heard stories about how dangerous those woods are, a few dozen people go missing every year." she said taking another large bite out of her cake pausing to wipe the frosting away with the back of her hand before licking it away.

"Even in the middle of the day the forest can be as dark as midnight." she said getting up and pouring the coffee "As black as this coffee." she added setting down a cup in front of everyone. "And there are lots of really dangerous pokemon leaving deep in the woods, even before Aberrants showed up they were a big threat."

She lifted up her cup and took a long drink shuddering "Well that is an interesting taste." she said "It goes well with the cake." she added.

Jouto quickly took a swig of the coffee, and then immediately spat it back out. The coffee dribbling out his mouth.

"BITTER!" he yelled, quickly countering it's taste with some of the cake nearest to him.

with his mouth full he said, "Sho tem, howsh whe shposeda fihandem?"

Chou shoved a cupcake into Jouto 's mouth "That should help." She said cheerfully "As for finding it the best thing would be to just look around in the forest, If you want you can catch a few of the bugs here before you go but you have to fight them first." she said with a grin. "And just for fun I'll be giving them some support." she stood up and walked outside "Just tell me which one you want and we'll start!" she said calling several bugs to her side with a snap of her fingers.

Maigo, upon hearing it was bitter, took a few sips mixing it with a few bites of cake "It's definitely different than most drinks, but it does give me energy." he said, setting down his coffee after hearing the offer of a bug pokemon and a view a Chou-sama's abilitys. He stood up following her outside.

Maigo looked over the bugs, his eyes resting on the pokemon with mushrooms on it's back "Could I fight that one Chou-sama?" he asked pointing to Paras.
