With both Breccia and Suevite healed up from yesterdays foray, Shale was hopeful that today would be a good one. There wasn't much to do but wave as he headed out. Maybe he could find some good flora to bring back.

6	The plains are harder to move around in than you expected in this area, as there's some particularly thick brush under the already dense foliage. -1 Energy.

Maybe it was leftover from yesterday, but today Shale just wasn't feeling it as well as he had been. The plains were just particularly thick to try and trek through today. Taking bigger steps, he could get through it, but it was taking more energy than it did most of the time.

You stumble unwittingly into a patch of briars hidden in the tall grass. You can try and extricate yourself carefully or just rip your way out, but you've got to do something to get out of the thorny mess.

On success, -1 HP. On failure, -2 HP.

You:
DEX+Evasion
OR
STR+Athletic

Out of the dense brush and straight into a patch of briars, Shale was not having the best of luck today. After looking around, he thought he could probably just rip his way out. Decision made, Shale just went for it.

Some scrapes and cuts, but not the worst hurt that Shale has been. Looking around, Shale tried to make sure he'd know better than to come this way again. It was more effort than it was worth to get here.

A rock pelting into him had Shale flinching before he realized that there was no way the grasslands would have the same problems that the mountains he was used would have. After relaxing, he looked around to see where the rock had come from. There wasn't a trainer or pokemon in sight, so he couldn't be sure, but it had hurt a bit at the very least.

Venturing near the coast, you notice a rather deep crag with some strangely bright clusters on the edges. If you want, you or one of your pokémon could try to grab some for the research team.
Optional roll. Automatic success if you have a flying type pokémon with 1 or more HP. On failure, -2 HP to whoever the roll was made with. On success, gain +1 Flower Bunch?.

You or One PKMN:
DEX+Athletic

Setting out for the coastline, Shale noticed a crag on one of the hillsides that edged the sea. Approaching it, he spotted the brightly colored flora he'd been sent out to help bring some back of. With Suevite's help, he managed to gather a nice bundle to turn into the research group before continuing to check out the area for anything else to bring back.

You've accidentally stumbled across a small group of baby pokémon hidden in a burrow! They're sleeping peacefully now - maybe you can get close to them before their parent returns?

Optional. On success, roll a Wild Battle but don't enter battle. Immediately gain a capture attempt vs a full HP, sleeping pokémon of that type. Whether or not you catch it, all pokémon scatter after the attempt. If you have no pokéballs, you cannot attempt a capture.

On failure, roll two Wild Battles. You must fight whichever is a higher Rank. If they are equal, you pick which one to fight.

You:
DEX+Stealth

It seemed that burrows of sleeping baby pokemon were pretty common. He'd found one nearly every time he went out he felt like. Either way, Shale knew that the parents were going to pop out in a moment to fight him. He wasn't the most stealthy of individuals.
