The path through the - admittedly quite light - forest is either extremely well-maintained or extremely new. In places, there are what appear to be Pokemon trails that have forged paths into the forested area. A few Pokemon call in the distance, though none are immediately visible. OOC

Isabella isn't entirely comfortable with the baby Shinx following them after the poachers who took its siblings, but it's clearly not about to be dissuaded without drastic action - and she's definitely not going to beat it up. They'll just have to watch out for it. The armored crew in the middle of the woods is a more pressing issue. They don't look like Team Aegis - especially since they don't seem to be deliberately hiding their faces, the guy in front of them and his too-big helmet aside - but Isabella has no clue who these people are. Too many of them to be the poachers, unless the five Entei (and, she guesses, the Luxray) mentioned were part of a larger group. Still, she steps in front of the Shinx protectively. "I'm pretty sure nobody ever told me anything about not being allowed to take a walk in the woods." She feigns examining her nails nonchalantly, as if she's not at all nervous telling off a larger group of organized-looking adults. "The last bunch of jerks in body armor who tried to intimidate us didn't do a very good job." Mechanics

"Ranger Tobias Fletcher, Private First...hang on a minute, I'm meant to be asking you the questions!" The confrontation does finally seem to have gotten a response in the form of someone turning aside from talking to some of the other armoured people in the clearing and heading you. He is a very tall, muscular man dressed in similar armour to the man in front of you, though with three silver chevrons decorating each shoulder, and with a truly fabulous handlebar moustache. And, as it turns out, an apparent inability to use any tone of voice other than 'shouting.' "What are you brats doing intruding on a crime scene? Come back to check on your handiwork, have you? Or to check you left nothing behind that would identify you? No other reason you would find this place! Private!" He whirls on the portly man, who salutes rather nervously. "Arrest these brats on suspicion of poaching!" Fletcher gulps visibly. "Ah...sir, I-I'm not sure we h-have the auth-" "Are you disobeying orders, Private?!" The big man looks down at Fletcher and the three of you alike with a menacing glare. |

"Poaching?" The sheer force of a gigantic man at full volume made Isabella take a step or two back, but the accusation makes her angry enough to shout back at him. "C’est des conneries! We were trying to catch the poachers! I've seen what they did to that poor Luxray! Don't you dare accuse us of that, tete de noeud!" Of course, this could quite possibly make the situation worse... especially if the sergeant understands Kalosian well enough to know what she actually said. Translation

Oscar recovers from his brief shock, both at the man's force (it's rare he meets a man who's better at blustering than he is) and his accusation and takes out his pokedex, navigating it briefly as his expression hardens. "Firstly, the reason we are in the area is because we are trainers - licensed and only recently arrived in this region." He shows the man the screen of his pokedex, which shows his licensing information. "As such, we could not be poachers even if, for some reason, we wished to be. Secondly," He then removes his backpack and promptly empties it onto the ground. "Even if we could be, you can plainly see that we have nothing to poach with. And finally, I have my doubts that any kind of poacher - at least any one with enough brains to spell the word "poacher" - would come within a mile of the site of said poaching for... well, precisely this reason." He finishes his reasoning and takes a deep breath, speaking calmly, hoping to calm the man down. "Sir, I understand your desire to catch these... people." He says, as if referring to Poachers as people physically repulsed him. "As a matter of fact, as my colleague said, we happen to share it. However, throwing around wild accusations isn't going to help anybody." He tails off, awaiting the man's judgement. |

After weathering the storm from the tall man who seemed in charge, Sibyl's attitude goes from 10 to 1 quite quickly, realising she's a bit out of her depth here. The shock knocks her out of her previous state and now realises it isn't worth tangling with people on the same side. But before she can backpedal, Isabella flies right off the handle. Looks like our smart mouths are going to dig us a nice big hole right now, she thinks, deciding she'd better follow Oscar in the situation defusal. She likewise flashes her PokeDex with her licensing information on it, and says a little calmly now: "Yeah: we're just trainers here. Look, I'll empty my bag too--" unceremoniously dumping the contents of her bag on the ground, before looking up up, a little contrite, "We just saw some hurt Pokemon and wanted to help. I guess we got a little gung ho about it. Sorry for the trouble, we don't mean to get in your way." |

The man seems to relax very marginally, though he doesn't stop shouting, and seems to ignore Oscar's (entirely reasonable) arguments. "Prisoners will not speak unless spoken to! You will all follow me, on the left, quiiick -" "Sergeant Vatch, if I might have a word?" It seems that the shouting has attracted rather more attention than the original confrontation with Private Fletcher. When the big man turns around in surprise, it becomes apparent that a younger man, perhaps in his mid-twenties, unarmoured except for the typical red Ranger greatcoat, in contrast to the other Rangers in the clearing, is standing behind him. Vatch turns his bellowed orders into an equally bellowed "Yes, sir!" and takes a few steps away from the three of you to have a whispered conversation. Which in Vatch's case is about the same volume as a normal person's speech. "...intruding on a crime scene, sir...ignorance is no defence...poachers are already using forged licenses...very good, sir." This last is 'whispered' sullenly, before Vatch salutes snappily to the greatcoat-wearing man and marches off to harangue some unfortunate Rangers on the other side of the clearing. It is at this moment, as Harria chirps cheerfully at the new arrival, that Isabella's Pokedex rings. |

Isabella has a moment to calm down now while Oscar and Sybil attempt to give a more reasonable response, and whoever that guy in the coat is pulls the shouty sergeant off to have a talk with him. Which is enough time to realize how stupid an idea shouting back probably was. She looks over at the others sheepishly while 'sir' has produced a lull in the shouting. "Sorry, guys. I guess that was kind of dumb. I just-" Her self-justifications are interrupted by her Pokédex going off. She doesn't recognize the sound immediately, since this is the first time she's been called on it, but after a moment she makes the connection and pulls it out of her pocket. "Looks like it's Jeremy. Wonder if something happened..." She hits the button to take the call. |

Oscar shrugs. "Rest assured, if you hadn't shouted, I would have." He assures, waiting to hear what Jeremy and the new arrival have to say. |

"Hey, Iz?" He starts. "It's Jeremy. I dunno if these things do caller ID so...it's Jeremy. Anyway, I'm back at the campsite and everyone's stuff is all packed away but I kinda forgot I'm not a damn Machamp so there's no way I can carry all of it to meet you. Just a heads up that whenever you're done wrapping up business with the poachers, don't go to the next town. Come back to the campsite, I'll still be here. How's the poacher-poaching going, anyway?" |

"... Oh. Sorry, guess we should have thought of that before we split up." There's a bit of fumbling before she manages to put him on speakerphone so Sybil and Oscar can hear, too. "We'll meet you back there... eventually. We kind of walked right into a bunch of Rangers. I guess they're after the poachers, too? They can't have caught them - the big guy accused us of being them! Can you believe it? I, uh... kind of flew off the handle at him." |
