While their trainer tapped away at his communicator, Junpei and Hani continued their search for individuals to battle per their instructions. They had split from one another, Hani wandering further in the jungle for tougher targets. He’d come to understand that against most of the wildlife, he had a distinct advantage. Therefore the tougher fights he could find, the stronger he would get.
It made sense in theory anyways.
The lizard’s attention was diverted by the sound of a commotion nearby. It sounded like something heavy had nearly landed on… person? There were the distinct sounds of battle and then silence, followed by a yelp and someone falling.
The Salandit’s head tilted from side to side before venturing to the area where the noises originated. He peeked his head through a bush, staring at the odd scene before him. There was a young woman, with hair as blue as his trainer’s, laid out flat on the ground. She looked like she’d taken a spill or maybe been struck by something. Was she dead?
'What are you doing?' Hani pulled his head from the bush to look at Junpei. The Rockruff was eyeing him curiously. They were supposed to be training after all.
’There’s a young woman on the ground.’ Hani remarked, raising a claw to point. Junpei looked alarmed at this admission. 'What?! What happened?!' He barked, shoving his head through the bush to see if the story was true. There very much was a woman lying flat on the ground, barely moving. The Rockruff also noticed what looked to be a small bulb creature with smoke. Was there a fire as well?!
’I don’t know. I think she was attacked. She might be dead.’ Junpei pulled his head back, giving the other pokemon a horrified look. It was a bit off-putting how nonchalant the Salandit was about saying that. Maybe Hani just didn’t understand. Either way, Junpei gave a bark, turning and rushing back to their trainer. Sullivan ought to know about what they found, whether there was any truth to Hani’s remarks or not. He burst through the forest and right into the young man’s leg.
Sullivan jumped in surprise, nearly fumbling his communicator. His gaze shifted to Junpei, immediate worry taking his expression. What? Junpei hopped about barking; something was clearly wrong and he needed to follow. Quickly he got to his feet, haphazardly shoving his things back into his bag and giving a sign to Junpei to ‘lead’. Had something happened to Hani? The lizard wasn’t with the pup and that was the only thing that came to mind.
Junpei led the way back to the spot from before. Hani was there, head back in the bush, pulling out only to look at the pair as they arrived. Sullivan frowned. The Salandit looked just fine. So what was the deal? Junpei, however, burst past and through the bush.
Sullivan’s blood went cold as he came to a stop as Junpei hopped about. That last thing he’d expected was his pokemon to lead him to some unconscious stranger, let alone out here in the jungle. He dropped his bag and quickly moved over to check the young woman. She seemed to be breathing, which was a relief. He knelt down carefully next to her, not wanting to startle them; some people had weird practices after all. He peered over, waving a hand above her face to see if she was responsive while also trying to give a cursory look over. He didn’t see any immediate injuries, but also he wasn’t trying to look too hard; her outfit was just a wee bit on the revealing side and he was trying to refrain from any awkward starts to help her if she needed it.

Ruby eyes stared loftily at his fallen trainer, searching for signs of life, before Sphene shuffled just a little closer to Jinx. The extra two inches he took allowed him to confirm that she was, indeed, alive: from here, he could see that her chest was still rising and falling, if a mammal was breathing then it was fine. Once he was assured that his trainer wasn't dead, the little bush moved away, but stopped when he noticed the leaves of a nearby bush shaking violently. Mm, someone, or something, was nearby. He shuffled forward, intent on investigating, then swiftly — or as quick as any leg-less, sentient plant could move — turned around when he heard the cushioned thud of something heavy falling behind him. Just behind Jinx, who was still alive just not moving, and by the base of the tree was another apple. Another pokemon come to investigate? Cause mayhem? Fight? Sphene wasn't sure what these weird fruits were up to, and he didn't quite frankly care. Who was he to question the intentions of an in-range opponent?
Once the apple impostor had been soundly beaten Sphene turned back around, intent on checking on Jinx to see if she'd started coming around. She was still on the ground, no change there, but now some new mammal had turned up too, and now stood over her. He eyed the newcomer, the smoke billowing out of him temporarily increasing as he processed this new development, before ultimately turning away in disinterest. They looked the same (sporting that bright blue hair of theirs), so clearly they were of the same species. He was probably here to help. Maybe.
On the fringe of full-consciousness, Jinx was cognizant enough to be aware of the area around her. Sphene's constant shuffling as he moved about, then the sounds of a battle, and now approaching footsteps. But, they all sounded muddled, far off and at a much lower volume, compared to the ringing in her ears. She blinked, hoping to clear her swimming vision, and then suddenly there was a figure standing before her. With their features were indistinguishable, she focused on the one thing she could see clearly: the azure locks that framed their face — at least, she thought it was their face.
She squinted, unfocused gaze staring past the hand that was being waved in front of her face. "Kaeden?" Sure the chances of her brother, knowing that she was in trouble, would leave HQ and locate her in some random island jungle. But, maybe this was his way of cheering her up: surprising her with a visit? That made sense, didn't it? Jinx reached out to grab the figure's hand, intent on using them to help herself up into a sitting position. Fingers wrapping around the side of their hand, all she truly accomplished was managing to shock herself, and subsequently the stranger, again.
With a yelp, she jerked her hand away before forcing herself into a sitting position, where she cradled her hand to her chest. Though far less powerful than the original, it still hurt. Being shocked wasn't her idea of fun. "I'm sorry! Are you alright?" Still under the, misguided, hopes that she was talking to her brother, Jinx raised her head and forced her eyes shut, hoping to stabilize her vision. Opening her eyes slowly, she found that the world around her had stopped appearing as if it was running on 44 fps, and she exhaled a sigh of relief. "Kae—" Turning to address him, she stopped once her gaze fell onto her 'brother', allowing her to look at the figure with clear vision.
This... wasn't her brother, and Jinx frowned at this realization. Sure, they had the same hair color, but that was where the similarities ended. "...You're not Kaeden," she muttered, her disappointment clear in both voice and furrowed expression.

Sullivan blinked and turned his focus to the young woman’s face as he saw her lips moving, scooting over a bit to peer a little closer. He hadn’t quite caught what she said. His brow furrowed some as she reached her hand out to grab his own, jumping at the shock that passed between them from the act. He yanked his own hand back, gingerly rubbing it with his other. What was that? Had she been struck by electricity? But how? There weren’t electric types in this jungle… as far as he knew anyway.
He flexed his hand, everything seemed to be fine. There was this… weighted odd tingling feeling throughout his body though, as though he were being lightly pulled against his will. Sullivan shook it off as just an after effect from the shock, turning his attention back to the woman. She was sitting up now, though disappointed looking. He caught the tail end of her comment, something with he was not someone (he couldn’t make out the name), before shaking his head. Sullivan held up his hands' palms out, trying to indicate he was there to help. Absently he began to sign at her, about to ask if she was alright before catching himself. A sheepish expression crossed his face as he stopped and put his hands down, digging about in his bag a moment for his notebook and pencil. He pulled them out, quickly scribbling a message and showing it to the young woman.
'I’m sorry. Are you all alright? Did something shock you?' He tapped the page, pointing to her curiously. That weird weighted feeling had diminished at this point for him, though he wondered if she had the same feeling. Given whatever had happened had clearly knocked her out, he would be surprised if she had some aches and pains. Junpei and Hani stood nearby; the Rockruff keeping an eye on his trainer and their surroundings, while Hani’s attention diverted to the odd bud of a plant that had moved away once they’d arrived. He hadn't seen anything like that before…

Eyeing the Kaeden imposture (even if it'd been she who'd made the mistake) Jinx slowly pulled herself to her feet. What kind of person just casually took up residency in a jungle? Besides her that was, and it was only because it was required of her. A sense of distrust gradually filling her, Jinx absently adjusted her belt buckle, which had been started to press uncomfortably against her stomach. A narrowed gaze watched as the stranger began waving his hands at her, before they softened with confusion. She could vaguely recognize that he was trying to communicate with her -- he was signing at her -- but as for what, she was at a loss. So, he was... mute? Deaf? The world's worst case of stage-fright? Either way, she couldn't communicate with him like this.
And maybe that was for the best? She'd already met her social quota for the day, and she wasn't looking to overfill it. So, it'd be for the best if she just went about her business. Although she was still considering her options Jinx's eyes hadn't moved away from the stranger, and she snapped back to attention when she saw him reach inside his bag. Her body stiffened, but she forced herself to relax when she saw that he'd only retrieved a notebook and a pencil. Huh, she hadn't expected him to pull that out.
Jinx squinted and leaned forward to read the words scribbled across the paper, only to huff and quickly pull herself into a standing position. "I'm fine," she responded firmly, only to quickly realize that... perhaps he wouldn't understand, and thrust a thumbs up in his direction. As for what had shocked her, for once she redirected her gaze away from the stranger and to the fallen tracker, right where she had dropped it. With another huff she stomped her way over to the tree, but stopped halfway there and took a few re-directional steps away from the stranger. She'd started with a wide berth, but had somehow managed to find herself only a few feet away now.
She moved quickly to collect her translator, roughly adjusting the buckle on her shirt along the way, but studied it first before making the mistake of picking it up. The screen had gone black, and leaning down she could see her splintered reflection staring back up at her. Jinx nudged it with the toe of her shoe, and when that didn't create another shock she picked it up gingerly with her thumb and index finger, then turned to present it to the stranger. He'd asked about what had shocked her, so... this was her showing it to him, in the hopes that it'd be enough of a satisfactory answer for him. Sphene, who'd just finished up a non-apple battle, took the time to look at the object his trainer held up in his hand. Then immediately swiveled around to make full eye contact with the curious charcoal lizard that was currently eyeing him. This was a... challenge? He was being asked to fight, clearly! Charging full steam ahead at the creature, Sphene stopped but a meter away and hopped in place.

Sullivan watched the young woman closely as she regained her composure just enough to respond to his inquiries, only to be taken aback with how her demeanor changed, glad at least that she was cognitive. Sometimes a shock, if that was what she’d experienced, could disorientate a person, but she seemed very aware of her surroundings.
Retracting the notebook, Sullivan prepared to scribble another note to inquire if she felt pain in any way before finding a thumbs up thrusted in his direction. He recoiled back a bit, startled at the act. She didn’t… look all that happy. He got to his own feet when she did, about to move to gesture that she ought to hold still, pausing only at the sight of a pen sticking to his shirt. Sullivan’s face contorted in confusion; how had that gotten there? He reached up and gently tugged it off, looking it over a moment. It wasn’t sticky or anything and the metal clip hadn’t been snagged on his shirt. Weird.
He shook it off, tossing the pen back to his bag and looking up to Jinx as she presented the device. His head tilted and his expression became visibly confused. What was that? A phone or… a tracker? It looked like a device you might find used by someone in a scientific field. He gave her a bit of a look; he wasn’t one to judge, but the young woman looked the farthest thing from a scientist. The fact that she went nudging at it with her boot like a child might a rock further cemented his doubt. But he wasn’t here to judge what she did; he was here to help.
Sullivan approached, looking between Jinx and the device before pulling the notebook back around and writing another note. He’d noticed she was fidgeting a bit. 'You shouldn’t be moving around so soon. Are you hurting anywhere?' He asked, trying to get his focus back on assuring she was okay. Just because she was up and moving didn’t mean there weren’t unseen issues waiting to rear their heads. And well, he’d be failing his goals of ever helping people in the future if he just settled here and now. He added an extra line on the page, showing it to her again and offering a friendly smile, trying to offer some reassurance. 'My name is Sullivan.'

Having a stranger move in closer, potentially infringing upon her personal space, didn't exactly sit well with Jinx; it made the hair on the back of her neck raise, in fact the hair on her head was starting to frizz up too. She subconsciously brushed a few baby hairs by her temple down -- which had started to tickle her skin -- as she watched the man scribble across his notepad; just because he carried a pen and paper around didn't make him any less of a threat. A bit of squinting and leaning forward transitioned into Jinx scoffing and jerking herself back, who was this stranger to tell her to what to do?! She didn't need to speak to convey her incredulity. If she actually acknowledged her body, she could feel how taut nearly every muscle in her body was; maybe every was an overstatement, but she felt warm, and parched, no matter how many times she swallowed her mouth and throat still remained dry.
It wasn't anything serious, and this guy didn't look like a doctor either. Another thumbs up was thrown lackadaisically in his direction. Another few seconds of scribbling, on his part, and suddenly she knew his name: Sullivan. Weird, suspicious. She'd never met a 'Sullivan' before. Jinx eyed Sullivan, pursed lips flattening into a firm line, before she relented some. "J," she introduced, simultaneously tracing the letter in the air. Now that they knew each other's names, and confirmed her health, they were done, right? They needed to be done, because she still had work to do. Well, she'd had work to do, it was hard to track anything without a tracker. Irked by her 'luck', she exhaled out.
Thankfully, not all of Jinx's team was having a poor time, Sphene was enjoying himself. The environment, although not one he was familiar with, was one filled with flammable material as far as the eye could see, not to mention a bounty of aggressive pokemon. It was just a shame that the pokemon accompanying the blue male wasn't one of them. His challenge gone unanswered by the reptile, Sphene shuffled away, thoroughly disinterested, just in time to catch the gaze of another lizard, a bigger one, a more challenging one; because size was positively correlated with difficulty. Unfortunately for him, that logic didn't hold water, and within seconds Sphene found himself towering above an unconscious dino. A gaze impossible to interpret rested on the pokemon, before he shuffled away, just narrowly avoiding being lobbed in the... body by a pokeball. Instead, it hit the dinosaur, and Sphene watched as it was sucked inside the capsule before he turned to look in the direction the pokeball had come from.
Arm still in the throwing position, Jinx waited until the pokeball had stopped shaking, the capture successful, before dropping her hand. A hand that brushed against something warm, and when jerked away still remained there. She snapped her head and set a venomous glare at Sullivan, then to his hand on hers. "What are you doing?!" Her accusatory question was accompanied with another fierce shake of her hand, without any results. Another glare, this time cast at both their hands, was softened by confusion when she saw that Sulivan wasn't holding her hand, but the back of his hand was pressed to hers; though after one final shake she concluded that they were more stuck.
Turn O2 Sphene used Uproar! It's not very effective... (-50) 50 - 50 = 0 Tyrunt fainted!
Jinx threw a pokeball! Tyrunt was caught! Sphene earned 7 exp!

Sullivan wasn’t sure whether to feel offended or relieved. Maybe a combination of the two? Jinx was certainly moving and responding with a fervor that suggested she wasn’t suffering any immediate debilitations from her shocking experience. But she also looked bothered. Maybe there was still some pain?
Or was she… scared of him? His lips pursed together at the thought, worried that in his hurry to assist, he’d missed signs of discomfort. He’d tried to dissolve concern by sharing his name (after all, what troublemaker did that) but that hardly meant anything to someone in trouble, did it? He blinked as Jinx humored a response of her own, drawing a ‘J’ in the air. J? Was that what her name started with? Was she… trying to spell it out?
He gave it a moment and when no other letters followed, Sullivan took to scribbling another message. 'Just J? It’s nice to meet you.' He smiled again, still watching her closely. Sure, his medical expertise was limited when it came to humans, but he knew enough and wasn’t quite confident to relent and leave.
Even as Jinx showed that she still could chuck a pokeball without issue. Well then, maybe there wasn’t anything to worry abou-
What?
The jerk caught him off guard. Sullivan jumped, trying to step away only to find that his hand didn’t follow. He winced, looking at Jinx, wincing again at the venomous glare he earned and then back to their hands. Obviously the blue-haired woman’s question was missed, but not the shaking. His gaze went wide in shock as his hand remained stuck to hers, even as he attempted to pull himself away. What was going on here?
Sullivan tried to tug his hand away again, frowning. They were stuck, but how? Did he touch something? Did she?
He reached his other hand around to see if he could wiggle his fingers between the back of their hands, a silent yelp occurring as he found his other hand-drawn and attaching immediately to Jinx’s forearm. Sullivan tried to pull it off with no luck, gaze immediately going up to Jinx in alarm. He had no idea what was going on, the hairs on the back of his neck beginning to rise. There was something weird going on… he could it feel it…
Or was that something else? In fact, focusing for a brief moment, he couldn’t help but feel like his body was being tugged towards the woman, nearly stepping but catching himself before he could. Oh boy. Sucking in a breath through his teeth, Sullivan gave Jinx an apologetic look before putting the full force of his weight to yank himself and her free.

Birds chirping overhead was all that followed after Jinx gave her name, well nickname. Dominant hand now resting back against her thigh, she stared at Sullivan and waited for his response. It took longer than before -- was he waiting for something? -- but eventually another message was shown to her. She shrugged, not sure how to respond; this was an odd situation she was in, not that the type of situation would have improved her sociability. It was rather low on the spectrum, as was obvious by the way she pulled out a pokeball and threw it at the dinosaur Sphene had rendered unconscious, suddenly and without warning.
It'd looked interesting, so she'd decided to catch it.
But then she'd gotten stuck, to Sullivan, and no amount of shaking and jerking on her part, nor pulling on his, had gotten them unstuck; though it was the soft threat of a budding headache that forced her to stop. Jinx watched suspiciously as Sullivan tried... well, something. She wasn't entirely sure what he was trying to do, but he only succeeded in getting that hand stuck too. She tensed up, the muscles in her arms especially growing taut, before turning her gaze upward. The look of alarm on Sullivan's face wasn't one she expected, and certainly didn't set her at ease. The expression seemed genuine, which somehow made it even worse. Because if he was as perturbed as her, that meant he wasn't the one doing this, and that meant he didn't know how to 'fix' this either.
This was... there was no other way to describe it than weird, and nerve-wracking. How were they supposed to get unstuck? What if they couldn't, and were stuck like this forever? She couldn't stay connected to this stranger for the rest of her life. How would she move around? How would she talk to Kaeden? How would she do her job? Panicked thoughts bubbling up one after the other were cut short by a heavy weight pulling her forward. Instinctively she dug her heels into the ground, but Sullivan's weight pulling in the opposite direction yanked her off her feet. She yelped as she collided into the man, the force sending them both crashing to the ground.
A tangle of limbs in a heap, on the jungle floor, Jinx was quick to pull herself up into a sitting position, then raised both her hands up; her free hands. A sense of relief washed over her, and she tried finding her feet before realizing a weight attached to her hip kept her from standing. And just like that the cool sense of relief dropped to a freezing sense of dread. She turned her head to look at Sullivan, and confirmed that she was still stuck to him, they were just now stuck at the hip.
"This isn't working." Stating the obvious with frustration, she tried to make it so that her lips could be read. "Let's just..." she let her sentence drift off, in the hopes that in the few seconds of silence that followed an idea would formulate. It did not. "I don't know. Let's just try and find someone?" In the jungles, somehow. Or, maybe the could leave the jungle. Could she call Kaeden? He'd probably know what to do. But, no matter what they decided to do, they'd probably have to stand up first to do it. "Stand?" She suggested, then used her hands to try and mime her idea out: pushing their backs together, and balancing each other out until they were back on their feet. "Push against one another, and move slowly?"

Sullivan gave a silent swallow, the growing awkwardness of the situation beginning to dawn on him. He should’ve left Jinx alone once she gave him her (off-putting) reassurance that she was okay. But that wasn’t what his nature, nor his currently sought occupation, allowed for. You didn’t just leave a person after a potentially traumatic experience.
His mother would be proud of his consistency in his morals.
The random grabbing and stacking to a stranger, though? Not so much.
The panic started when his second got stuck, but really blossomed when his unnecessary exertion of force sent the two tumbling and toppling over one another to the ground. He should’ve known better. Sullivan had no business throwing his (and Jinx’s, by proxy) weight around. Maybe the whole situation had him more flustered than he thought as he failed to consider whether Jinx would be able to keep her feet on the ground without any proper prompting on his part.
Scrambling to sit up, not missing that his hands were free, Sullivan was frantic to check that he hadn’t caused Jinx further harm with his foolish antics. What he found was her trying to get up and failing and that instead of being latched at the hands, they were now latched at the hip. His own brief sense of relief disappeared and instead, he could feel heat forming in his face in embarrassment. As much as Sullivan wanted to avert his gaze, especially sensing Jinx’s frustration, he focused his gaze on her to catch her words. Boy, it’d have been nice to have a voice of his own right now.
Not that it’d have been much good. Jinx didn’t seem to have a plan and neither did he. He slowly nodded his head as she suggested the try to stand, getting the gist of the plan from her miming. Carefully and slowly, he moved in tandem with Jinx until their backs were touching, grimacing at the odd prickling sensation that occurred, and he could tell their backs were now stuck together.
He pulled his legs to his chest, planting his feet firmly on the ground, hands at his side for leverage. He craned his neck over his shoulder to peer at Jinx and see if she was ready to push, and once given the go-ahead, set to work. He lurched forward to provide Jinx a solid anchor to lean against and then once he felt her stop and anchor, pushed lightly against her so that his own feet were under him. Again, with some back and forth and Sullivan was certain they were almost standing.
And so, once again to flustered to think, he stood to full height. For a moment, things seemed right and then he lurched, realizing that there seemed to be some extra weight to his person now that he was having trouble supporting. What? He reached back to distinguish the issue, his fingers brushing against Jinx’s sides before his hands snapped up in alarm, face turning red. How had it slipped his mind that there was a height difference?! Maybe just getting back to his feet, Arceus the embarrassment was racking up. He was pretty sure once they were out of this mess, he’d be in trouble. Immediately he bent his knees to try and allow Jinx’s feet to reach the ground, hands now plastered over his face to hide his shame.

Despite the limited conversation between the two of them, Jinx was still able to communicate her plan with surprising success, and once Sullivan showed that he understood she pressed her back to his firmly in preparation. She hadn't considered the fact that their backs would get stuck too -- which she should've, given that previous evidence had confirmed that touching wasn't a good idea -- but it was far too late once she had; they were already stuck back-to-back, the only thing they could do was push ahead. Literally. It was awkward, for sure, but from a sitting position to a crouched one, and then an odd squat; slowly, but, surely the two found themselves on their feet.
Well, Sullivan did at least. Jinx found herself practically off the ground, feet dangling a few inches from the air like some toddler. It was an uncomfortable situation made doubly so when she felt a hand brush over her side. It was brief, it was sudden, and while instinctively flinching away from the touch she narrowed a venomous glare over her shoulder. "What do you think you're doing?!" The realization that he couldn't actually hear her, accusatory, question only hit her after the words had left her lips, and Sullivan let her down; a not so quick head twist back and Jinx saw that he'd actually crouched down to accomplish this.
He sure was tall, funny how she hadn't considered that either, when formulating this plan.
But, that didn't matter now, because now they were back on their feet, and with that minor nuisance resolved they could focus on the real issue at hand. "We need to find someone who can help figure this out." With her back turned to Sullivan, did that qualify as her just talking to herself? She frowned at the thought, it was going to be hard enough to traverse an area she didn't know without being able to talk to the guy literally stuck to her back. Frustrated, she ran a hand through her hair before snapping her fingers at Sphene, grabbing his attention, "We're leaving." The bush, reacting to the sound, turned to look at his trainer blankly before shuffling over and stopping at her feet. He stared at the two humans, in the midst of some odd, mammalian ritual, then turned away when his interest died out, which was quickly, until he was returned to his pokeball.
Fumbling a bit with the capsule, Jinx considered releasing Tanzanite to cut the travel time, then reconsidered after taking into account their current positions: one person would hold on, while the other was buffeted by the wind, and risk falling off? Or, just yank them both off. She huffed, guess they were walking. "Let's go?" Taking an uncertain step forward, and then the other, she started in the direction of what she thought was the jungle's entrance. "I don't know this place, so once we get out of here you'll have to take the lead." Seriously, was she just... speaking for her own benefit? ...Probably, but she'd rely the information to Sullivan somehow. Or, just... get Opal to do it, she was a psychic after all. It would probably make things a lot easier if she did too.
"A lab is probably our best bet." Maybe they could find some scientist to help them out? Would a scientist ask a lot of questions? Probably, but not as many as a doctor would. Not to mention, hospitals made you fill out a ton of forms.

Sullivan still had his face in his hands and though he couldn’t hear it, he could feel Jinx flinch from the action and her body tense in clear agitation from his actions. You didn’t need hearing to feel one’s aura of emotion and when you were back to back with them it was all the easier to sense.
The taller gentleman stood there, failing to register that Jinx had said anything further. Admittedly, he’d missed that new communication barrier than came with them being back to back like this. He still had his pad and pen, but that seemed such an awkward to pass between them. Oof.
But it was all he had.
Feeling as Jinx attempted to take a tentative step forward, Sullivan tried to follow suit. Junpei, who had been frozen like a stone watching this strange performance between his trainer and the woman, jumped to his paws as they started moving. Where were they going?! What were they even doing?! He ran up and around the pair, just a few feet in front of Jinx before flipping around and barking up at her in a warning. He might’ve not understood what was going on, but he could sense the growing level of discomfort from his trainer.
Hani was kind enough to shuffle over and snatch Sullivan’s abandoned bag, dragging the thing behind him as he toddled to catch up with the fleeing form of his trainer and the stranger with the murder bush. This was certainly not part of the training; he knew that much.
Sullivan hadn’t missed the Rockruff rushing about and tensed. Junpei wasn’t going to attack the woman, was he? It was bad enough they were stuck like this; a pokemon of his snapping at the trainer wouldn’t help. They were at the entrance at this point, about to enter onto the road that would lead back into the nearest city.
They couldn’t walk in there like this. Sullivan took a breath, allowing himself and Jinx to exist the jungle before planting his heels in the ground to halt any further progression, lurching forward some to even pull her off the ground a bit, just in case. It also was less strain on his back, lifting her as oppose to crouching to her height. He was fit, but even his spine had its limits.
Quickly Sullivan scratched out a message in his journal, hooking the pen in the spine and thrusting it over his shoulder for Jinx to see. 'We can’t go into the city like this. Could we work something else out? Then we can find some help.' He might’ve not heard a word Jinx had said, but Sullivan was equally aware that this was an unusual occurrence. Junpei kept a steady eye on the blue-haired girl, head low and ready to act, standing down slightly only at the sight of his trainer passing the journal to her.
