With the way these explorations were going, Lang might just wait until the stores were open to pick up some much needed supplies to try and make things go smoother. As fun as it was to hack and gag over all the corpses hanging around, it would be better if he didn't have to smell them. Might as well get this over with, he thought to himself.

You find, hidden among the weeds, a small patch of bushes that you quickly recognize as wild oran berries! There aren't many ripe fruits, as it's probably quite popular among the local pokémon, but it's also a comforting sight to find something so familiar in such a wild place. You do manage to find a couple of edible berries. Heal 1HP for up to two pokémon and/or yourself.

First find is some berries, always a good sign. He grabbed a couple for them to snack on as they moved on. If there had been one or two more he could have collected some for later on if they got hurt.

10	The calls of wild pokémon echo around you, but you can't quite figure out what they are. Hopefully, they're not communicating about you.

The calls of unknown pokemon did not scare him, no matter what anyone said. So what if Lang started walking just a little bit faster. He just wanted to get this exploration over with is all!

You don't see what causes it, but regardless of where it came from, you know darn well that the rock that just whacked you out of nowhere hurt. Regardless of whether it was some other adventurer being, well, a bit of an ass, or a pokémon trying to drive you away from its nest, you're definitely going to have a bruise tomorrow. -1 HP for you.

The rock that whacked him square in the middle of his back had come from somewhere behind him. Whirling around, Lang was ready to rip into whoever was throwing rocks around. Fortunately, or unfortunately, there wasn't anyone in sight. Glowering now, in case whoever or whatever threw it could see, he stomped further away.

A hill you've been walking on has slowly turned into a seaside cliff, giving you an impressive view of both the ocean and the rolling plains below. As your gaze scans the horizon, you might notice something interesting along the edge... On success, gain +1 Flower Bunch?.

You: INS+Alert

2

The hill he'd been stomping up gradually rose into a seaside cliff. It was a beautiful view and Lang couldn't help but let go of a little bit of his anger as he took it in. His gaze slowly drifted back towards the grasslands behind him. He'd have to head back if he wanted to find any pokemon.

wrong roll

 

[Rano713]

Just before he headed off into the plains, Lang spotted a cluster of easy to reach flowers. With a grin he felt lighter as he picked up the bunch and added them to the bag to take back. It was nice when things were in easy reach.

Far from the perfectly mowed lawns you might be used to in civilization, the grasslands with all their ... grassy tendencies in fact leave you quite disoriented. Before long you're pretty sure you're completely lost, unable to ascertain the right way back home. Send one of your pokémon to try and scout the way back. On failure, -2 energy from getting lost!

One PKMN: INS+Alert

Far away from the hill he'd managed to climb, Lang stopped as he suddenly realized he wasn't 100% sure where he was in relation to town. In keeping such a close eye out for pokemon he'd gotten himself all turned around. Not quite nervous, he threw out torchic.

"Alright Torchic, can you help me find the way back to town?" he asked her.

It took long enough to start to make Lang nervous, but eventually Torchic did come back with enough of a flourish that he was confident that she'd found the way back. Trailing after her, it didn't take too long for Lang to realize where he'd gotten mixed up. Now back on track, they could continue to try to find more things to bring back to the researchers.

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

2

And just like that, the moment Lang was confident that he knew where he was going he went right into a briar patch. Yup, this might as well happen to him. With a deep and body shaking sigh he tried to carefully extract himself. This hadn't gone well last time and he wasn't confident it would go well this time.

By the skin of his teeth he managed to get himself out as carefully as he could. Still took a bit of skin off, but not as bad as it could have gone. The moment he was out of the briar patch he turned and started heading in the opposite direction.

13	Your pokédex beeps at you, its sensors apparently indicating a storm brewing in your near vicinity. Odd - the sky seems perfectly clear where you are.

Oh of course and now it's going to storm? Lang had checked the beep, thinking maybe he'd gone almost out of range and no. There was some sort of storm. Who cared that the sky looked clear, it was probably going to start pouring.

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.

Lang gave up. The foliage was just too thick and there wasn't anything out here. All he had to take back was one measly bunch of flowers and there was at least one kid who kept bringing in hordes of those so he wasn't even contributing to research efforts. Now Lang was just going to go back to his dorm and lay down and maybe he'd feel better tomorrow.
