Please

Taem watched Kaida.

"Please. This place can't be trusted! We have to go. The others are probably worried! They rely on us."

Taem sighed.

"If you let me evaluate the cave for a few days then you can try going in!"

A New Discovery

"Sho, Sakura, and I will keep them encircled. Taem, lead everyone and gather on a sort of leading path to the exit of the valley. Tori will signal us when you're ready" Kaida ordered. Taem was a bit thrown that Kaida was the one giving the orders again and snorted, but lead everyone else onward.

The Rattata grew restless and struck out more and more often, but Kaida and Sakura spit out embers left and right to keep them in formation. Sho used thundershocks as well. Finally, Tori screeched from above, and Sho shifted behind the group while Kaida and Sakura moved to either side. They attacked again, this time leaving one side open, so the Rattata were driven in one direction. Every so often Tori dove down to push a few strays back to the pack as the others drove the group on. Finally, they reached Denor, who shifted their direction slightly and followed along to help keep the Pokemon in line. Every time they met up with another misfit, their course was corrected.

Soon they were nearing the entrance to the Valley, and Taem and Eko stood waiting. Taem was tapping his foot. Kaida sighed at the look on his face. With a final forward drive, they sent the Clan outward, where Taem and Eko finished the job, pushing them away from their newfound home.

Later on, building on the camp had begun again, and everyone was working hard. Taem had just put the finishing touches on a new bramble defense, as the old one had been trampled. Tori fluttered down beside him.
"Umm, Taem? Can I talk to you for a sec?" Tori asked him. He nodded and the two secluded themselves outside the bustle of wall-building.
"I saw something strange at the ruins!" she chirped. Taem grew more and more curious as Tori described what she had seen.
"We'll all explore it as soon as the Camp is finished then" he decided.
