The Evolution Core

In the middle of the camp, there was a very big tent- no, it was a house.
It had the form of a box, and had the heads of a treecko, turtwig, chikorita, and bulbasaur on it, and the faces had worried looks on them.
The building had 5 meters of hieght, and was quite big, cxatching around 300 cube meters. The building was made of leaves, wood, honey and wax, and was covered in leather to protect it from rain. If one would enter it, he would see the place was full of tables and chairs, with around 20 tables around, and 2 chairs next to each table. On the opposite side of the 'tent'(opposite to entrance), one would notice a teddiursa with a funny hat with the form of a bellsprout, clothing made of leaves, and extremly sharp claws having a nice nap, the hat covering most of his face. Behind him, there was a small wall of clay, with a lot of sharp objects pinned into it, some of them holding a letter.
Near the tables there were the worried faces of a swablu, lotad, seedot, wurmple and caterpie, each of them sitting next to a seperate table and laying they're sad faces on the tables while leaning forward and sighing.
 
((Well, I would post but the Mudkip haven't reacted to me yet... I believe my post was in the middle of page 3, for reference.))
 
((Ah yes sorry. Didn't remember to reply...))
The mudkip chuckled, and one of them started glowing blue, mud slowly gathering around him, sticking on his body, and the falling off in a small flash of blue and brown light, revealing that where there was once a mudkip, there was now a marshtomp instead.
"Well, you are near the water camp. Most of the water camp's population hates pokemon that aren't from around, namely the grass and the fire camps that aren't so far from here. They are constantly sending assaults towards each other's camps. However, once in 50 days, they close a one day pact and meet at mt. chimney(is that the right name? the hoenn volcano). Well, if you're some kind of a coral (poke)mon(poke has been dropped for obvious reasons), you should keep heading this way." He pointed towards a wall amde of sponge. "But if you're some plant (poke)mon, you'd better go south from here an quick, it's not safe to be in hostile areas." The other mudkips started playing in the water, being mainly bored.

Alex looked inside the building. He decided that this must be the place where you came if you needed a job done. He looked at the sad pokemon, and decided to go over to the Wurmple. He walked next to it and asked " Can you tell me what's the matter? I might be able to help."
 
The wurmple looked at Alex, and cheered up a little. "Well, my friend, another wurmple, has gone missing in the forest. I found her trails, but there were also some strange duck-shaped trails, and I suspect these are flying type (poke)mon, which I can't handle. My friend's a blue wurmple, so it will be easy for you to recognize her. Here, show her this and she will understand you want to help her." He put a small, star shaped object on the table, which had a few red spots on it. "I'll be willing to give you 300# for saving her, but I can't really afford paying more. Will you help me?"
He looked at the Bulbasaur hopefully.
 
"Well, i guess I'll try. don't you worry Wurmple." Alex said. He picked up the star shaped badge and headed out of the tent. He reached the edge of the camp, opened the door, walked out, making sure to push it shut again. if these people were at war at the moment, he needed to make sure no-one from a rival camp could get in.

He headed into the forest, looking around. "if i were a Wurmple, where would I be?" he said to himself. 'the first thing to do would be to make a systematic search of the forest. you need to be through in these things.' he thought to himself. he set off, scanning the floor for prints on the way.
 
If Alex would look on the ground closely, he would find drag and bird feet marks, a few cracked branches, and a few spots of blood. There were also lots of blue scales on the ground.

((Failpost. No time right now))
 
Camelia listened carefully, and then nodded thankfully to the Mudkip and Marshtomp. The Chikorita began to back away, but she was still curious... but it wouldn't be a good idea to stick around... she hung in the trees, just out of sight and behind a berry bush. She circled around it, then headed perpendicular to the river so that the lake was still in sight....
 
Alex was walking along, looking for the Wurmple, when he felt something wet under his paw. He lifted it up, and looked where he had trodden. There was a spot of blood on the bottom of it, surrounded by blue insect scales. Further on there were some footprints, like one's off a bird type pokemon. He remembered what the Wurmple had said to him. '"My friend's a blue Wurmple, so it will be easy for you to recognize her."' "These have to be that Wurmple's scales." he said to himself. He looked on, spotting more scales and blood, dripped messily around. He decided to follow the scale path, leading deeper still into the forest.
 
Soon enough, Alex would find a very complex problem before him- the path split into three ways, one trail being full of big, bird shaped foot marks, one with blue scales, and one with a few blood spots. There was no way to indicate which one was the right one.
However, the bird foot marks and the blood spots seemed to be a little, but only a little, less dirty than the scales, indicating they were more frsh.
(gave you a big hint)
 
Alex examined the trails. He was quite puzzled by the dilemma. He examined all three of the trails. The trails with the blood and the footprints seemed fresher that the scales. He thought hard about it. "let's see. I guess would be that the trail with the blood is where it went, as it probably is where they took her after they got her." he said to himself, thinking hard. He went down they blood dotted path, hoping to see the oddly coloured Wurmple.
 
After following the trail for a while, Alex would hear loud squaking sounds, and despretaion cries.
((Still fail))
------------
Edit:

The lake was quite, and there wouldn't be much ofr Camelia to see, but much to hear, as there were still a lot of howls to the east.

Alex walked down the path, avoiding the blood dotted all over it, when he heard a loud squawking sound, along with a cry for help. He started to run , shouting "Don't worry! I'm coming to help!" He reached near the end, wondering what type of pokemon he would find, threatening the poor Wurmple.
 
After running for another few seconds, Alex would find a pidgey fighting a Starly, the Starly clearly being in a disadvantage and squaking whenever the pidgey landed a hit on it's body, blood spitting out of it. The two birds seemed to be in a battle to the very end, possibly only stopping when only one wíll stay alive. Behind the two birds, the path seemed to keep on.

((MUHAHAHAH! Will Alex stop and help one of the birds or keep going down the path in hope of finding something?))
 
Alex continued running before he came across the two squabbling birds, fighting to, presumably, the death. He saw how the Starly was extremely hurt, and decided to help it out. He ran in front of it, and shouted at the Pidgey " Leave this helpless Starly alone, you brute!" He knew it was going to be a hard battle, him being weak to it, but he was determined to try anyway.
 
The starly swuaked in surprise, and gasped when he heared Alex's words. The little bird landed behind him, releasing feather from it's body as the wounds he had slowly disappeared. The pidgey didn't seem to like the fact that Alex interfered in his battle, and started moving his wings violently. "You're going to regret that, bulb head!" the bird said as 4 knives of wind flew towards Alex, one traight at him, one to the left, one to the right, and one above him. Should Alex try and dodge the attacks, he would find the Starly hit instead, and should he not dodge, he would fid out that his own health would be severly reduced.
((Long battle post. Im starting to make the pokemon fight serious from now on))
((4 knives of air(gust), each has 1 base power))

Alex didn't try to dodge the blades of wind, and got hit straight on the face with them. he flinched for a second before saying "Bulb head? You're one to talk feather brain!" He decided to try out the new attack he had learned from leveling up against the Combee. he stood up on his front legs slightly before firing a barrage of seeds, which exploded into vines, clinging to the Pidgey.(Leech Seed)

I am assuming Leech Seed is taken out of MP. Am I right?

((Okay, it's time for statistics:
Only one blade hit Alex, as the others were aimed around him.
Super effective, so 2 hp damage.
You have over 20 MP, so you reduce damage by 2, and the pidgey has over 10 MP. so... You lose one Hp!

And, btw, leech seed costs 3 Mp.))

"You're gonna regret that, you little brat!" The pidgey hissed, but was cut short when the little seed flew towards him. He chuckled when he saw it, but squaked when it became a big net. "Bah! Not good enough!" The pidgey stopped flapping it's wings, and landed on the gorund with a small thumb. It was 4 feet above the ground, emaning the fall won't hurt at all. The pidgey then started flapping his wings once again, releasing 6 blades of wind, all in the same direction- directly towards Alex. The pidgey seemed to start getting exhausted.

Meanwhile, the Starly was still on the ground, closing his eyes and relaxing as energy started filling his body.
