Lisette attempts to yank Aurelie back, managing more of a tug instead as she points at the disturbed web, hissing a warning under her breath, "Spider!"

"What? ...Oh!" Aurelie flails indignantly at the sticky web clinging to her face. "Right where I'm walking, too! Good thing Bic wasn't floating ahead, or it'd have gone up instantly...Hmm? Spider? Oh, you think a Pokémon made this web?" She peers around curiously.

As it happens, the guess is quite off the mark. In fact, the perpetrators show themselves in short order, a full four pokémon crawling out of the nearby treetops and down the trunks. They're common and, perhaps surprisingly, quite innocuous - the girls readily identify them as caterpies and sewaddles, bug-types that are frankly pretty low in the food chain. They seem pretty unhappy with the two haplessly wandering into their net, though, making angry sounds that would be a lot more threatening were they bigger than a forearm.

"Why would caterpie and sewaddle make spider webs...trying to be edgy?" Lisette unhitches Marshmallow from her head, pointing at the bugs,"Go! Marshmallow!

"Scaring off predators, maybe? ...Oh, don't get mad at me, you're the ones that put it there! Bic?" The floating pokémon bobs toward the bugs with interest, its flame puffing up.

Regardless of how reasonable or not Aurelie's protests may be, the little bugs open up on the girls and their companions with multiple sprays of thick, sticky silk strands. Harmless as wild pokémon responses go, but they're going to get pretty heavy if they keep piling them up.

"Oh cool!" Lisette whips out her camera and takes a photo shortly before the string covers both girl and camera, before realizing she needs evasive action to avoid the fight being a wrap, "Ick! Marshmallow, Charm!

Marshmallow gives an offending Sewaddle the huge trembling eyes treatment even as the silk covers her in globs.

Aurelie dances furiously on the spot as the Caterpies spray her with silk. "You are the worst! Bic! Fwoosh!" Obligingly, Bic coughs out a puff of fire toward one of the bombarding insects.

The first sewaddle is faced with Marshmallow's cleffa eyes and apparently changes its mind about its target just as Aurelie shouts her order, jumping off its tree and divebombing Bic with an annoyed expression.
Unfortunately for it, it just passes through the glow surrounding the ghost candle and pulls a faceplant landing on the soft ground.

Bic's ember, meanwhile, hits one of the caterpies square in the face just as it seems to be preparing either for another salvo of silk or to run away, it's hard to tell. And a moot point in any case, as the hit leaves it reeling with the closest thing to swirly eyes it can pull off before it drops off the tree trunk the short distance to the ground, knocked out clean.

The other sewaddle is unfooled by Marshmallow's cuteness, and attempts the same maneuver the other did, only to sail clean over the cleffa's head and faceplant much the same as the first did.

The caterpie still left standing (crawling) wiggles its antenna furiously at the two landed sewaddles. Maybe it's the ringleader in this whole mess. It blows another spray of sticky silk onto the girls and their pokémon and starts crawling up the tree to put some distance between itself and the fire-type.

Lisette scrambles back, chuckling as she shakes the silk off her lens to get a perfect shot of the Sewaddle missing Marshmallow by a mile, "Encore! Encore!"

Marshmallow directs a burst of applause to the Sewaddle that missed her, making enthusiastic noises.

Aurelie manages to duck the webs this time, partially by accident as she's still flailing at the masses of silk. Still a little incoherent, she points at the angry Caterpie, not quite forming any actual words, but Bic gets the gist. The ghost floats up toward the tree, phasing through one side and out the other to bop the bug on what passes for its nose.

The two grounded sewaddles converge on Marshmallow to knock her about with headbutts. One of the disadvantages of having a soft, springy body thoroughly deserving of the name, perhaps, is how bouncy she is, getting tossed about and then launched into Lisette's face. The cleffa's cheering in spite of the treatment and the bouncing movements confuse the hell out of the bugs, though.

Bic, meanwhile, surprises the retreating caterpie with a poke on the nose, causing it to jump off the tree with another spray of silk and land on top of Aurelie in her struggles with the webbing.

"Oof!" Lisette topples over as she yanks out a pokeball, chucking it at the Caterpie invading Aurelie's personal space. Marshmallow meanwhile bounces off Lisette's face, aiming to ricochet off the confounded Sewaddle.

Aurelie grabs her own Pokéball as she flings the Caterpie off of her, hurling it at the Sewaddle currently being accosted by a flying Marshmallow. The throw's not a very accurate one, for numerous reasons, but not least of which is the giant bug that just hit her in the face.

Bic indignantly hiccups up another puff of embers at the other Sewaddle.

Lisette's pokéball bounces off the caterpie riding on Aurelie's face and sucks it in with a flash of light, only for it to break out a second later and drop to the floor, from where it sprays her with another round of sticky strings.

Meanwhile, the sewaddles continue going after Marshmallow, one of them crawling up Lisette's leg only to be flung off by Bic's puff of fire, the other meeting her charge with a spray of silk in confusion, which doesn't keep it from getting slapped.

"Eeep! Off my leg! Off my leg!" Lisette barely has the presence of mind to sling another ball at the Caterpie again, while Marshmallow advances on the confounded Sewaddle with a menacing squeak to lay the smack down.

Aurelie hurls another Pokéball toward the Sewaddles. It's almost as accurate a shot as the first one is, what with the silk now all over her, and doesn't even come close to hitting. Bic, however, has more luck as it drifts closer to Marshmallow's target, spitting more fire at the unfortunate Sewaddle.

Lisette's ball bops the angry caterpie on the head and absorbs it once more, falling to the ground and twitching with the bug's struggles until it confirms the capture. Aurelie's throw, on the other hand, smacks hers straight into a tree. Good thing pokéballs are sturdy.

With the attacks apparent ringleader captured, the two sewaddles seem to decide that caution is the better part of valor and turn tail to start crawling back up into the trees, but not before Bic's ember hits the unwounded one, prompting it to instinctively curl up in the leaf it's wearing. Just as it uncurls and continues fleeing, Marshmallow is upon it and knocks it out with a slap.

"Hey! Get back here!" Aurelie fumbles for a third Pokéball, taking the time to line up her shot now that she isn't getting a faceful of Caterpie.
