"To think that I would be running for my life, even when I'm resting" Color thought bitterly to herself, hanging loosely from a tree with Grass Mini and Fang finally fast asleep. To think only moments ago she was the one passed out while these two were awake. The thought made her scoff, shaking her head before a breath-taking roar threatening to shatter the bones within her very body. It sounded too close, waaaayyyy too close for comfort in fact. It was only a matter of time before she would have to swing out of the tree and take off again.
The performer had lost the male trainer, several minutes ago as she ran ahead of him. She automatically deemed him unworthy to even keep up with her as his movements made the girl want to drag him by his feet. However, she was still curious about the other Pokemon he carried.
"I wonder what he had?"
Color gently shifted Fang to her shoulder, hearing the grass monkey grumble grumpily in his sleep, but did attempt to stir back up in a conscious state. She dug her fingers into the green fur, taking a hold of a thick branch and look onward to the closely gathered trees.
"Just maybe I can travel by the trees without having to disturb anything that's around here"
Color released Fang, watching him cutely cling to her neck as a simple reaction, while she pulled Grass Mini off of her head and into her arms.
"Twi, Twig~" Grass Mini whined, batting out his two front legs as he slowly opened his yellow slits to be welcomed by his trainer's ivory face.
"Shhh, go back to sleep. I won't put you in your Poke Ball." Color whispered, pulling her sack to her front and tugging the strings loose to open in up. She slide the Turtwig inside, watching him tuck his head comfortably in the brown carrying bag. He left his two front legs poking out and his head lulling off to the side, slowly closing his eyes and falling back into a peaceful sleep. Color smiled at the sight, feeling the warm tingle in the pit of her stomach. She had no doubt that these two are fiery spirited and battle-tough just like her, but at the same time the trainer had to remember they were practically babies. THEY were her babies and it was her duty to tend to their needs no matter what.
She tighten the strings on her sack once more, making she not to suffocate Grass Mini in the process. She tossed it back on her back, feeling the extra twenty-two pounds pressed against her back. She stood up, tightening Fang's hands around her neck and look towards the group of trees again. With a strong inhale and a confident exhale the acrobatic leaped towards the next tree, barely missing the branch as she swung loosely in the air. With some struggle she pulled herself back up to the tree, breathing heavily as she looked over at the slightly closer trees.
"Perfect." she breathed softly, easily hopping over to each tree, trying to locate the source of the mighty roar. Within a couple of minutes Color spotted a clearing.
"A campsite of some sort?" she questioned herself, lifted the sack back on her back as she felt the strings slip off her shoulders. She lept towards the final tree, clinging on to the harsh bark and carefully scaled down the rest of the massive trunk. She knelt down into the bushes, carefully scanning the area. So far, from what she could see, the ebony-haired trainer spotted four trainers, two females and one male. She had to admit he wasn't bad-looking and it had been some time since she received any "male attention. A small giggle bubbled in her throat at the thought, but she quickly swallowed it down, forcing herself on a more serious matter. She had to team up with someone to get off this route and get to the next city. What better way to do that than to travel with companions!
Having made up her mind, Color stood up to her feet, brushed the stray dirt off of the ends of the bouncy laces of her dress, and bounded over towards the travelers, waving her hand a friendly manner.
"Hey there!" she shouted cheerfully, the sleeping Pansage chattering unconsciously in his sleep as Color unhook him from around her neck and let him rest on her shoulder while she supported his bottom with one hand. Grass Mini merely snored, enjoying the warmth from the brown sack he was being carried in.
