Accompanied by their three pokemon, Fairytale entered the Tall Grass. A part of them wanted to think that nothing could be as bad as fighting against Deerling, but they knew better than that. Inevitably, there was always something worse than came along. It might not be now, but it would happen.

Still, they were curious at what might spawn in the Settlement. They hadn’t heard of many pokemon spawning here, though considering the Tall Grass around the Settlement, they knew it was possible.

Fairytale grinned cheerily as they pranced into the tall grass. Despite their carefree act, their eyes were keenly focused on their surroundings.

Couldn’t have a pokemon catch them by surprise, after all.

Their gaze narrowed, focusing sharply on the pumpkin pokemon. While the Pumpkaboo wasn’t as strong as fighting the Deerling that had become Bacchus, it was stronger than they had expected. No matter. They would simply have to try harder.

”Once more with feeling, team~!” Fairytale proclaimed with their typical faux-cheer. “If we get some good hits in, we might be able to avoid a shrine this time!”

Bacchus gave a snort, pawing a hoof along the ground. Padma looked quietly determined. Aries looked rather nervous. But, regardless of how they were all feeling, the trio of pokemon attacked once again.
