Sarah clambered through the canopy behind Kath. The humidity, the darkness, the strange, muffled noises. It felt like when she'd been scuba diving in Hawai'i.

"I sure hope it's safe," Sarah said, testing a broad leaf with one foot. It had a little give, but held firm. "Probably coded not to break so that we can reach the top."

Grookey swung past, and she laughed at his hilarious leaf pun. "Never leave. That's good! Michelle, do you have a joke?"

Tepig sat back on its haunches, thinking. "Uhhh, how about 'Is it hot in here or is it just me?'" She looked at Sarah for approval. "Hmmm, not bad. Kath Ulu? What do you think?"

They'd found the swarm all right.

The rainforest had come alive with Bulbasaur, possibly as a result of Tepig's tepid joke, and Grookey had come out swinging. "Michelle! Let's scorch these little...frogs? Dinosaurs? What are these..." Sarah took a step back from the battle and brought up her UI, searching through the Pokedex for details on Bulbasaur's real-life counterpart.

Tepig planted her feet, putting itself between the afk Sarah and the swarm of ravenous plants. She picked a nearby clump of Bulbasaur, reared back, and launched a stream of flame and smoke, igniting them. Smoked bodies tumbled from the branches, bouncing off the broad, stable leaves on their way to the forest floor.

Tepig kicked into the air and met Grookey's high-five with his own sizzling snout. "We showed them! WHOO! My blood's all pumping now. Are there more? Can we knock more out?"

Sarah finished her quick wiki-dive and closed her UI. "It turns out it's based on a prehistoric frog, so I was double right," she said, waving away the smoke. "Worth catching, certainly, not that I'll ever use it." She dropped a Pokeball on one of the fainted Bulbasaur, and it disappeared inside.
