No egg at the bottom of the tree. Callum frowned, and then wiggled his paws slightly. Well, if there were no eggs at the bottom, there must have been some at the top, right? Could the diggersby even get that far up? He was about to find out. The mienfoo stretched up and up, but was unable to reach even the lowest branch. So he planted his feet akimbo, digging them into the dirt slightly before he moved forward, aiming to smack against the tree and cause it to release any eggs it might have had. Unfortunately, he wasn’t quite strong enough to cause any considerable movement, and just ended up bruising his shoulder. “Ouch!” The mienfoo exclaimed, rubbing the injured area with a hand. However, he refused to be denied!

The pokemon stretched again. Then, he leapt. He wasn’t as graceful as a feline pokemon, but he thought he was okay when it came to acrobatics. Callum’s hands scrambled for purchase as they wrapped around the lowest branch. He was more of a lower body strength guy than an upper body strength guy, and for a few perilous moments he was sure he was going to drop down on the ground, right on his butt. However, he managed to pull himself up on the branch, flopped over with himself draped across it. The mienfoo was deeply aware of how silly he looked and quickly hauled himself up to balance precariously on the branch.

With that accomplished, he slowly reached up with one hand while the other was stuck out to maintain his balance. Then, he began to tug on the branch above him, making it shake slightly. “Come on, eggs!”

Yet another despondent scowl crossed the features of the Purrloin at his fruitless finds, as he swiped a paw irritably at the nest before slithering his way through the canopy to drop down onto a lower branch. From what he could observe, far too many prizes had been snatched from his worthy paws at this point in the game already... Maybe if he didn't find anything else interesting anytime soon, he could resort to convincing the best egg hunters to share their winnings with a poor stray kitty.

"Hm..." Cerin grunted, his sharp olive eyes narrowing as his features creased into a frown. No, he wouldn't abandon his quest just yet. Not until the final whistle had been blown. Maybe he could resort to double-checking where Pokémon had already deserted? Slitted pupils flickered towards a pair of crestfallen children, seeming disappointed to find nothing in a flower bush just below him. Children were futile... Chances were that they hadn't been thorough enough. Cerin would take a chance and check again.

Lowering his belly against the branch, he began to carefully stalk upwards until he had reached the part that overhung the bunch. Raising his haunches, he barely took a moment to calculate the distance before jumping down to land on all fours beside the bush to investigate.

The Shinx squinted at a tuft of grass poking out by the corner of the training grounds. She stayed low to the ground, crouching as she glanced at a Charmeleon and an Electribuzz sparring. She didn't want to disturb them - their match looked heated! - but that little patch of grass looked like the perfect place to hide an egg... she wandered towards it, nudging it aside, and sure enough! There was an egg there, decorated meticulously in countless different shades of blue.

Hornet held up her egg in victory, fidgeting with the latch to open it. Finally, it split open with a soft 'click', and the explorer grinned as a small, deep blue berry rolled to her paws. This was great! She didn't like the taste of oran berries, but it could really help her in her explorations! She pocketed it and the beautiful blue egg shell in her bag, and just when she was about to be on her way, a burst of fire soared over her head and Hornet gave an audible squeak. Yup, time to get out of here! She made a quick pace back towards the puddle, squinting to try and catch a colorful glint in the sun. Maybe she could try climbing a tree to get a better view of the park again? That plan worked great the first time.

Nothing. Callum frowned. He went so far as to double-check, the mienfoo stretching up and up until he had reached the next highest branch. Then, he tottered precariously, even as an egg failed to fall from the branches. After a few moments of wobbling back and forth, the fighting-type managed to regain his balance and scooted towards the trunk of the tree, away from the dangling ends of the branches. A second later and he managed to leap out of the tree. His landing was...not the most graceful. Callum let out a yelp of surprise as he landed on one foot, and then fell backwards onto his rear. “That’s not fair. I didn’t even get an egg out of this.” He grumbled to no one, rubbing his tail as he stood again. Almost out of ideas, the mienfoo decided that the best course of action was to return to an area where he had failed to find an egg previously.

Deciding that he’d had enough of climbing trees for the day, he was left with few options other than the river where he was certain an egg was hiding. Callum was a bit slower on his way there than he may have been previously, still aching slightly from his excursion with the tree. Once he made it to the river, however, he straightened his back and narrowed his eyes, trying to put on his best look of determination. “Alright, eggs. I’m sure one of you is here.” He said, wading into the water again. His paws eagerly turned over smooth rocks, parting mud as he looked for a sign as to where an egg would be hidden.

Ugh just a slimy rock. David put down the rock and wiped his paw off on the grass and walked away from the bench. He saw a few people looking in the water and thought maybe that would be a good place for him to look too. It didn’t seem like many people were finding much luck there but he wanted to check in the cat tails. Surely digging around in the rough foliage would net him a little egg. Even a small one would be good. Anything to start out with. He knew he started in on this late but he had to find something!

"I always make such
expensive mistakes."

Vashni stepped about in the park, primarily just pokemon-watching at this point. There weren’t many new faces, or at least that was what he’d been trying to tell himself, but was always proven wrong as new challengers would come popping out of the bushes and joining in the race.

He stood by, watching as chatting groups and duos interacted, working together in hopes of digging up loot. He noted with amusement that, no matter how close or how well the pokemon seemed to be, there was no mistaking that sharing whatever prizes they found would be out of the question. To be fair, it was difficult to share things like orbs – not unless they were shatterd, but then they would be rendered completely useless.

He mulled over the possibility of going up to someone and talking to them. It was getting rather lonesome, but as he looked around, inspecting as strangers passed by, he found himself frowning at the realization that no one had really piqued his interest yet. Everyone was heavily engrossed in their search; it would be hassling to approach someone. Sighing, he kicked over some stray pebbles and continued on, keeping an eye out for pokemon who may be worth the time.

Okay so there was nothing in the cat tails except a few sneezing fits from the fluff that had started raining down on the Stufful. He stumbled back out of the plants and stumbled into the pond with a decent sized splash as he tried hard to work out his last bout of sneezing. David stood, tail and hindquarters thoroughly soaked to the bone and his lame leg a bit sore from impact. Yet as he stilled and the mud settled something shiny caught his eye. Carefully he dug at it, trying to unearth the beautiful thing before it could slip through his paws.

Vashni wandered. He strolled and skipped over the occasional rock, resolute in following a strict line towards who-knows-where. After passing through a shrub or two, greeting a mother with her child, and stepping onto a path of tiny pebbles, he found himself at a pond. There were a few other pokemon lingering around it, either participating in the egg hunt or minding their own business, perhaps just admiring the pond itself. He mused himself with the thought that maybe one could be admiring their own reflection.

Vashni stood by, hands behind his back as he went to the edge of the pond, gazing at the water which had few ripples. He could still see his face, and he tilted his head in slight wonder at his appearance. He looked just like any other Mawile, so much so that it was hard to distinguish him from those of his kind. Most of his kind probably identified each other through names. He rummaged his memories in search of his first one.

His moment of identity crisis and contemplation was interrupted with a splash. The water rose and smacked him in the face, drenching his features and causing his two black ear-like extensions to dangle limply as pond water dripped from their tips. His red eyes opened, lidded and not the slightest bit amused. He turned his head to look at the perpetrator who was still sneezing in the middle of the pond as the other pokemon stared.

“This isn’t really the place for a Stufful to clean its pelt,” he said as he wiped his face with his hand, flicking his fingers free of excess water. “Are you listening?”

The Stufful didn’t seem to pay him any mind, performing yet another strange behaviour as it dug at the mud underneath the pond. Vashni raised a brow, before shrugging.

He hopped into the water. Walking carefully so as not to splash anyone while giving apologetic looks to the other park-goers, he approached the Stufful and reached out to gently tap the stranger’s soft head. “What are you doing? Digging up coins?” He inquired, “You’re more likely to find those in the fountain. Just saying.” He chuckled, before correcting himself: “Or are you perhaps searching for eggs?”

Skaa's pretty late to the party, but she wastes no time shamelessly nudging Pokemon out of the way as she roots around for eggs. She’s eager enough that she wouldn’t mind tailing Pokemon and snatching away any prizes they might find, but the Diggersby hosting the hunt is watching too keenly for her to risk what. What fun is a game without cheating? With a huff, she toddles towards the fringe of the park that most of the participants have yet to reach.

The egg-hunters are conducting a thorough search, picking over every inch of the park with a fine comb, leaving no stone unturned. Skaa, though, figures that a more efficient way to go about it is to secure a good vantage point of the place and look for discrepancies in the environment. Lumps of grass under which eggs might be buried, rushes bowed over prizes. Unable to climb a tree, she instead perches atop the back of a bench and gazes out over the park.

There’s a clump of grass that looks promising. Skaa hops off the bench and scurries toward it, bouncing in anticipation.

The Eevee was still running wildly around the park in search of the much-coveted eggs. She jumped across patches of flowers and weeds, zoomed through crowds (surprising a few other event participants), and looped around tall trees, but it seemed there was not a single egg in sight.

She was back to stalking close to the ground, her nose sniffing about the grass blades. The eggs themselves were difficult to detect seeing as they were now coated in the scent of their surroundings, but she figured she could pick up the scent of the Diggersby at least—then she’d have a trail!

She raised her head, blinking as she noticed an unusual patch of grass not too far off where she was. She felt a rush of excitement and quickly went back down, before pushing her back legs and pouncing forwards.

Her view became obscured by a rush of yellow and she found herself colliding head-first against something hard. Crying out, Elodie stumbled back, landing on her bottom as she held her paws to her forehead, which throbbed with pain from the impact. “OW, ow, ow,” she groaned, before opening her eyes and staring at the peculiar thing. A pokemon? It was triangular, walking on tiny black feet and didn’t seem to be facing her. She got up, puffing out her chest as she huffed. “Hey, watch where you’re going!”

Somehow, crashing into indignant strangers in Tricklestone Park is becoming a trend for Skaa. She stumbles backwards but manages not to fall—she's learning from experience, it seems—and blinks dully at the Eevee she'd run into. Beady eyes flicker between the patch of grass and the stranger as she evaluates her priorities.

The patch of grass places higher on her priority list, so she trots toward it and sifts through the blades with one foot. Nothing. She clacks her teeth together, then turns to address her second priority: the Eevee.

"All's fair in war," Skaa says cheerfully, or as cheerfully as she can with a blank face and blanker voice. "And in something else too, though I forget what. It's probably less important." She assesses her surroundings, brightening at the sight of a ruffled bush nearby. "Think there's an egg in there?" she asks, though she doesn't stick around for an answer. She plods over to the greenery and rifles around the leaves with her foot.
