Perhaps the innocent-looking individual wasn’t so bad, after all. A warm smile spreading across his face, Cleon patted the shy individual gently before wrapping his thin arms around its small body. This was definitely the smallest of the group; its timidity was valid. It must be picked on by its tougher brethren quite frequently. Lifting it up to safety and setting her down on a particularly soft patch of earth, he turned back to help the last egg to safety.
Getting out of the ditch was an easy task for him, though he still had to use his arms to aid his ascent out of the fosse. The knees of his jeans were coated with dirt, though they had seen worse days; he brushed them off, then smiled his thanks at the polite part of the Exeggcute. ”I am honored that you think that way.” He bowed slightly, then examined each part of the creature. ”Might I ask how you ended up in there, dear lady?”

The ladylike egg closed her eyes, as if ashamed by the story she was about to tell. >Well... it turns out that Rattata like eggs... We were going to the local watering hole for a small drink...<>When some punk-ass rat started foamin' at the mouth< spat onr of the more aggressive eggs, shaking his body in disgust. >The fucking nerve! If I hadn't been so sleepy, I would have beaten him up myself!<>Stop swearing!< hissed the ladylike egg, before speaking again. We were rather low on energy, so we ran... or rather bounced to try and get away. One of my brothers managed to use Hypnosis on the rat, but when we tried to return to the watering hole, he fell into this space... and dragged the rest of us with him.< She looked at the aggressive egg with distaste, who adapted a look of discomfort at his sister's gaze. ::exeggcute::

Dragged...? How could one egg drag the others into a ditch? He looked at each of the creatures, which did not seem to be fond of getting far away from each other. Were they all one Pokémon? The thought seemed absolutely absurd, but he had heard of Pokémon that grouped together to evolve. This wasn't so strange, then. Even so, he felt a great deal of pity for each individual egg in the group; though he loved his siblings dearly, the idea of never being separate from them was painful.
"I'm glad you managed to get away, in any case, and you're all good now. Let's try not to fight, 'kay?" Cleon looked around at his surroundings, intrigued by the idea of a water hole. Who knew what other Pokémon were lurking around there. "If you want, I can be a temporary body-guard, so you can go get a drink?" He struck what he thought might be an impressive pose, his hands at his hips. Hopefully the eggs had not seen enough humans to realize how scrawny this particular individual was.

<Please,> Said one of the rude eggs. <We don't need 'protection.> One of the shy eggs looked scared. <Err, maybe we do?> The rude one complained. <Fine, fine, we 'could' use some protection...> The aggressive swore again. <We need none!> The ladylike egg yelled. <ENOUGH!> The group quieted down and keep quiet as the ladylike one yelled then stared at the Trainer. <That's very kind of you, thank you.> The group argued like a mad married couple(s?), never agreeing on anything.

The scenario really was one he had seen before in his own household, and Cleon had to fight to hold back a reminiscent smile. "If you don't want a guard, I'd like an escort to the water hole?" he said, playing his usual part as mediator between combating parties. In all honesty, being around the arguing eggs was relaxing to the teenager. The Pokemon, however, unlike his siblings, was more likely to attack him and cause lasting harm. Regardless of this lurking fact, Cleon was willing to spend some time following them. He could use a drink, anyway. Maybe the water was clean enough for humans?

<Ohh, a escort. I like that.> The rude egg said with a smirk on his face. The ladylike one rolled her eyes, she was castigated each week by those noobs and the rude one said something nice for a change but it wasn't toward her. <Why thank you.> She said calmly. The aggressive egg smiled, an escort? Why that made him sound like royalty! <Let's go, servant!> he yelled. The group waited for him to picked them up. The rude one looked up and said, <Hey! What are you waiting for? Arceus? Pick us up!>

"I said escort, not slave. I don't know where the watering hole is," he pointed out, rather hoping that this particular attitude did not continue. "You wouldn't want me to get you lost, right?" The idea of squishing the egg was not one that Cleon really wanted to follow through with, though the thought certainly crossed his mind for a heartbeat. He grinned slightly, and wondered if the others would thank him for that action. Was it possible to just knock one of them out without harming the others? Not like he'd follow through with any of these plots, of course. Just musings as he waited for the strange heads to lead him to their destination.

<Fine, don't pick us up for all we care!> The rude one said. The group hobbled to the left where the pond was supposed to be. The eggs mutter among their selfs, though they never did get a long at times they did have amity at times. After all, they were stuck with each other. Watching from the trees above a Taillow stalked its prey. Ohh, what's this? She thought. A Trainer was walking with the Pokémon she was targeting, this would make it a bit harder now. The Taillow flew down and landed in front of the Trainer and Exeggcute. <And where do you think you're going?> She asked. A Taillow appeared!

Smiling amiably at the Taillow -- the second he had encountered today, though this one seemed even more aggressive than the first -- Cleon rested his hand on a Pokeball clipped to his belt. "We were just heading to the small pond over yonder. Care to join us?" he replied easily, not ready to release a Pokemon until he was sure the Taillow would attack. Judging from the way she eyed the Exeggcute, however, he was fairly certain that a fight was drawing near. Cleon would not let the Pokemon he just assisted get torn apart, not on his watch.
He was quite concerned, however, that one of the more outspoken eggs would speak up and insult the predatory bird. Unfortunately, there was no way for Cleon to request their amiable silence. If it came to a battle, he was ready. Besides: both Target and these fellows knew Hypnosis. They could always lull the bird to sleep.

<Is that so? Perhaps you’ll let me take a snack on the way over there.> The Taillow licked the rim of her beak suggestively, eyeing the Exeggcute with sudden hunger. Yes, they were eggs, but they were still part grass type. Those was exceptionally delicious to her, and she knew that she simply had to have a taste. She chuckled as the eggs huddled around each other, already fearing her for her superior ability. Sometimes it felt nice to not be on the very bottom of the food chain, where even birds like her could feel an ounce of power during their hunting trips.
<You dirty fowl. Why don’t you go leave your shit elsewhere.> The loudest, most rash egg declared, hopping up and down to make himself stand out from the group. The other eggs looked at him as if he was an idiot, and jumped up to grab him and pull him down, forcing him to keep their unity. As a group, they were strong. Separated? They could just forget about trying to survive.
<Oh, that’s it. I’ll eat you first!> She cawed, enjoying the Exeggcute’s spunk. Diving down from a tree branch, her talons went down and scooped up what she believed the be the loud one, when in fact it was the silent and innocent egg. It’s eyes widened in fear and pain as her claws dug into her body, feeling completely powerless against the bird. It wasn't even a scintilla of pain; it was a LOT.

Had the Taillow taken the loud, obnoxious individual from the group, Cleon may have felt a wee bit of temptation to let it fly away and enjoy its loud meal. As it was, this was simply not acceptable. His dark eyes met those of the terrified egg, and in a heartbeat he knew that he would not let this slide, not ever. Nature was cold, but when something couldn't even fight back? That was not okay. Period.
His first move was to pull out his Zubat's sphere. Uttering a loud squeak of pleasure, the bat fluttered about Cleon's head as his trainer spoke. Even Prometheus could tell that Cleon meant business, his voice lacking the relaxed tone it generally held. "Supersonic on the Taillow. Go, hurry." With another squeak of acquiescence, 'Theus flew off as quickly as he could towards his target, emitting rapid clicks as he neared it to confuse the bird.
Just as Prometheus flew off, Cleon drew another sphere, enlarged it, and brought out his newly captured Taillow. Hopefully she would listen to him and not simply eat the egg. The bird looked at Cleon and was about to say something, probably to comment on how suspicious it was for him to bother her so shortly after her capture, but Cleon interrupted her. "Could you do me a huge favor? Fly around beneath that other Taillow, and catch the egg if she drops it?" She examined him for a minute, judging whether or not he could be trusted, then nodded and zipped off to fly around underneath the battling Zubat and Taillow. Maybe he'd let her eat it later?
Prometheus used Supersonic. Taillow chills out a bit. ooc|| I hope it's okay to bring out two Pokemon, so long as Taillow stays out of the fighting? Spirit Edit: Of course it's ok. ^^ If your Taillow attacked as well, that would be fine. However, if they won they would only gain half a level.[/size] ::modcoin::

Following her trainer's request, the Taillow watched her fellow bird Pokemon, flying underneath just in time to catch the egg in her talons. This was not a particularly easy task, and had Cleon ordered it rather than kindly phrased it as he had, she would have probably just watched the edible-looking Pokemon tumble to the ground. Then she would eat it. As it was, she would do his bidding despite the difficulty of catching a falling egg in midair. She swooped down, falling with it for a moment, before going closer to wrap her talons around its smooth edges. <Unfortunately, I won't be eating you.> she informed the creature, though the gruff words were a mere front; her grip on the egg was firm, but very light. She didn't want to hurt it, nor scare it. Its eyes were terrified.
Ignoring the combat going on behind her, for her current mission was the safe return of this little one, the Taillow swooped down to the remaining five individuals. Flapping her wings furiously to hover above the ground at a close proximity for just long enough to release the egg, she did so, then landed on the ground a short distance away. Running her beak through the long flight feathers of her left wing, she shot Cleon a quick glance as if to say 'You owe me, suspicious one. You better not betray me,' then turned her attention to the group of eggs, now reunited. She wondered how they would taste, but decided that she'd stick with bugs.
Meanwhile, just as the egg was released and Cleon saw it safely caught by his own Taillow, he released a sigh of relief. "Good job, both of you! Now, Prometheus, hit it with a Zen Headbutt!" Maybe getting hit by such an attack would spin its head even more, and prolong the confusion. For a moment, his eyes watched his Taillow to make certain she would obey; he was incredibly pleased to see her careful treatment of the small egg-type Pokemon, and was confident leaving her to stand watch over the group. His full attention, now, could be focused on the battle.
Prometheus darted forward, still squeaking, and attempted to ram into the confused Taillow's body, aiming for the largest part of her body so he would have a greater chance of success.
Prometheus used Zen Headbutt. Taillow catches the egg and returns it to the ground. ooc|| Ah, got it! Thanks, Spirit. =3 [/size]

<Wha- oh. Hi? Who…what?> The Taillow asked in a confused state, looking around at the source of the Zubat’s flapping wings. She recognized them as a bad omen, something that would only bring her pain. His head was all neon colored and stuff, really psychedelic.
She stared right at the Zubat in deep, jumbled thought, and was successfully hit by the Zen Headbutt. Almost hitting the ground from the fierceness of the blow, she slowly got back up into the air, trying to find the freaky glowing bat.
<Oh…sha-bang.> She muttered, using another Peck attack on her wing. She thought she was hitting the Zubat, but got her blues mixed up. The scintilla of pain shot her back to reality, and soon she was looking all over with clear eyes, able to recognize what was going on around her. Next time he attacked with that Zen Headbutt, she was going to be ready.

Frowning, Cleon gave his next orders to Prometheus. Taillow had not been confused as long as he had hoped. Continually pecking itself must have snapped it back into seeing straight. Now, there was no chance that she would just fly off in search of other prey. Less guarded prey. Cleon was fairly certain that she was angry, and ready to block future attacks. But maybe...
"Go, 'Theus, another Supersonic. Then dive in for a Leech Life." The lad's second sentence was uttered much quieter, testing his companion's hearing as much as hiding the tactic from his foe.
In response, the Zubat promptly fired rapid squeaks at the Taillow. As he did so, Prometheus darted forward, his fangs bared and ready to sink into his target's neck, still firing his supersonic beams the whole time as a distraction.
Prometheus used Supersonic, then Leech Life. [/size]

The Tailow shook her head, oh no, not again he wouldn't! She dodged the Supersonic was was soon hit by the Lech Life. <How rude!> She said. Though, it was a battle she was a bit of a drama queen. Putting her wing over her head she groaned. <Oh gosh! How awful was that?!> She said, then flying towards the Zubat with Peck. Aimming to its head she wasn't going to let up anytime soon!

Prometheus tried to back away, but his fangs were stuck in the Taillow's feathers; the peck hit him right on the noggin. He squeaked in surprise, then backed away and fluttered around the Taillow, firing his echolocation constantly to keep an invisible eye on his enemy.
"Don't worry, 'Theus, you got this. Try it again: Supersonic, then dive in for a Zen Headbutt," Cleon said, his voice low as he gave the order, pleased that such a tactic could work for his large-eared Pokemon.
With a squeak, Prometheus darted around, imitating his last attempt to confuse his opponent, firing rapidly to confuse the Taillow while darting in to ram into her with a headbutt.

She twirled on the ground swinging back and forth. <Who, what where when!> She just snapped out of it when she was hit by the Zen Headbutt.

Watching the Taillow collapse into the grass, Cleon sighed in relief. The bird Pokemon was sufficiently hidden in the brush, and probably would manage to avoid becoming a meal herself. She'd wake up safely, and have to find a meal elsewhere. Prometheus darted back to his trainer, squeaking incoherently in his excitement. The squeaks were rapid enough to almost be painful; Cleon laughed rather than show annoyance as he returned both his Zubat and Taillow to their spheres.
Approaching the group of eggs huddled on the ground, Cleon knelt down and smiled. He patted the small one on the head, gently rubbing his calloused hand against its smooth shell. "Are you all okay?" he asked. "Shall we continue to the watering hole?" He held out his arms, inviting the small egg-like creature to be carried the rest of the way.

The cluster of eggs huddled closer together as Cleon approached. They weren't frightened of him, exactly, but they were now more than a little wary. It took them a moment to accept Cleon's offer of carrying them. The brash egg spoke with a forced confidence. <'n don't you go dropping us!> he said, though the little tremble in his voice gave away his fear.
The polite egg spoke next, sounding far calmer than her brother. <We could walk ourselves... but after that, well, it's safer this way,> she said, hopping with the rest into Cleon's arms.
In the bushes, a pair of eyes peeked out. Once the trainer started moving, the pokémon in hiding would follow. He wanted to get to the water hole himself... he just didn't know the way.
