On the ground, something shined. It was quite noticeable, and a closer view would reveal that said shining things were, in fact, poke. It was in small amounts, as if they were change that was dropped. Perhaps leftovers from the robbers escaping?

(( Everyone gets 12 poke. ))

Samuel rushed into the room, only to find a small pile of poke on the ground. Slightly disappointed, he pocketed his half of the poke and dashed upwards to the next floor, trying to get as far ahead of Jack as possible.

Jackson dashed through the entrance. He paused and looked around. Nothing except some Poke. The Growlithe saw Sam running farther into the darkness. Jackson grinned.

If it's a race he wants, then a race he'll get Jackson thought. He quickly grabbed his Poke and charged foward. He ran as fast as he could, then used Agility. He felt himself grow faster and he quickly caught up to his leg less friend. He smiled broadly as he dashed by.

"You'll have to do better than that to beat me," Jackson called back as he entered the next cave.

(( The party has moved onto F2! ))

Ahead, there didn't seem to be anything special- just more trees and fog, the usual for Misty Forest. However, on a branch, there appeared to be a small bag hanging. The only problem was that it was far too high up for reaching distance.

((finally back from my vacation!))
As the Buizel ran along trying to catch up with his friend, he noticed something hanging in the trees above him. Hold up Jack, I think I've found something. stopping to take a closer look, he saw that a small bag was tied to one of the branches. Samuel thought for a moment, then had an idea. Hey, do you think you can shoot an ember up to the rope holding that bag?

[mrcammaster4]

Jackson frowned, "I don't think that will be precise enough. I could burn whatever's in the bag, too."

Jackson sat on his hind legs and thought. Flame Burst would really be inaccurate, way more than an Ember would be. His other moves could help...

A light clicked in Jackson's head. His speed was still high from Agility. Maybe if he could find some sort of ramp to jump up into the air and Bite the bag. He glanced at Sam. Should he...?

Before Jackson knew it, he was sprinting towards Sam, then past him. He quickly turned around and sprinted towards him. Jackson hoped Sam wouldn't move while he did this or else the bag would remain out of reach for a while.

(( Feel free to post next, cometblaze. There's nothing for me to determine. ))

When Sam heard his partner's response to his plan, he was slightly disappointed. Luckily, he had another plan soon after. If he timed it just right, he could do a handspring, and use a Watergun in the middle of it to launch himself up, and grab the bag. With joy from coming up with another plan so quickly, he ran forward, then threw his hind legs up into the air. However, before he could use his Watergun, something rammed into his stomach, Knocking him over onto his back with a loud thud.

At some point, Sam had decided to do his own thing and he and Jackson slammed into each other. The two tumbled end over end until skidding to a halt. Jackson shot up, smoke trailing from his nostrils.

"What was that about," he yelled at the Buizel, "I was going to get the bag, but you screwed it up!"

Jackson glared at Sam, fuming for a moment. He began to calm down and took a deep breath.

"Look, we need to communicate so we can figure out how to get this bag. Here's my idea."

Jackson explained his idea of running up Sam's back with Agility, then using Fire Fang to burn the rope and drop the bag. He waited for his partner's response.
