"Juicy." He muttered to himself at the sight, kicking away one of the Caterpie as it tried to climb up his leg. Puff watched with something like wide eyes, picking up said Caterpie in his mouth and carrying it with him now. The poor pokemon wiggled frantically to get away, but it seemed like it was more of a plaything for the kitten pokemon at the moment. It was then he spotted Cait and her army of pokemon, realizing this must have been the 'Ranger' part of that equation from the information he read online. When she noticed him, he decided to do the cheeky thing and wave.

Seeing her leave, he shrugged to himself and decided to follow after her. It wasn't like he had much more do right now and it seemed like she was more than capable of handling this situation.

"I thought the game for this was 'relocation'?" Not that he particularly cared either way. "Some are in the rooms, too. There was whole nest in my shower when I got up."

Puff, meanwhile, loped quickly in front of his trainer, eyes sparkling to try and catch up with the team of Cait's pokemon. The Caterpie had given up on it's wiggling but was still locked firmly in the Litten's jaws. His puffy paws were too big for his body, making him stumble a bit and showing he still had a while before he grew into them.

"I skimmed one article online so I'm an expert now." Was all he chose to answer with, not trying to hide the slight grin at her fumble. It would be his benefit to just go ahead and leave, since it seemed that Miss Alfric didn't exactly want to deal with him. Yet at the same time, he had really missed his quota of 'be annoying' when he had been locked in the hospital and recovering. You didn't mess with the nurses unless you wanted you pudding cup to go missing.

"With all the bug juice you're making, I hope there isn't a Big Fry over all these Small Fry you're squishing." It was pretty gross but kind of fascinating. Usually rangers were all moon eyed over wild pokemon. To see one, and a high ranked one, just go about ending them like this was a whole thing. "Yeah. It was just for the night. Maybe I can get a refund instead."

Puff, for his part, was true to his name and fluffed up his fur in something like pride to be recognized. He dropped the Caterpie at the Sneasel's feet, like any cat would bring a mouse back to someone else. He was helping! The Caterpie, for it's part, at least put up a meager show of trying to crawl away. It was probably exhausted.

"He's the biggest and oldest I got." Taking a moment to kneel down, he ruffled the fire type's fur. Puff, for his part, seemed to almost pout and tried to fluff himself up more to look even bigger and stronger. He would show this lady that he was super strong! "But, nah. Other than a few pokemon I gave to friends, most of my pokemon went to 'The Foundation for Orphaned Pokemon' before I went on that big mission. Didn't want them caught in my mess in the end." He looked a smidgen sad at that for a moment. He really did miss his old friends and hoped they got good homes.

Standing back up with a grunt, Chu-e nodded to the Sneasel. "He's cute but doesn't seem your style. I would expect like... an army of grass types or something." He motioned to his own head. "Think it's the hair and eyes."

With that said, Chu-e grabbed the banister set on making his way downstairs. It was kind of dark down there, the pokemon probably having finished blocking out the windows while they had all been dallying up here. "Guess I'll see if I can get that refund." He turned to nod to Cait but found himself... gone. Surprise flicked on him for a moment before he was jerked down the stairs and into the darkness. Thick threads of webbing had wrapped around him and pulled him down without a sound, like some sort of horror movie.

"M-myah?!" The Litten ran to the edge of the stairs, peering down into the darkness and looking unsure about going down himself. After a second or two of pacing, the kitten pokemon started to hobble down the steps, worried about his trainer. Looks like if Cait wanted an 'out' for the whole 'Choi' situation, she had one.

Cait hadn't been the only one to come for a meal, it seemed. The downstairs had been mostly cleared out of the smaller insects already, all of them wrapped up in silk balls and stuck to the walls and ceilings. While the same strands as upstairs were completely over the windows and most doors here, there was a thicker concentration on the ceilings. Chu-e was fairly easy to find, plastered to a wall nearby and currently being covered by a gang of Spinarark and Ariados. For his part he seemed more frustrated than anything, unable to wriggle free.

Litten was at his feet, wrapped up in a spitting tussle with two Ariados he was just barely managing to keep at bay with his flames. There was little finesse or skill in his battle style, showing just how inexperienced he was in combat in general.

When Chu-e spotted them, his eyes widened and he started to wriggle harder. "Har-hanv-uu-uh! Har-hanv-uu-uh!" His mouth was already covered in silk, muffling his words. But he was very pointedly looking above Cait. A belated few seconds after his wiggling, a massive Garvantula tried to drop down on her head, shooting webbing at her and her pokemon. This was most likely the one to pull Chu-e down to start with.

Garvantula were territorial and aggressive. This was probably his harem of Ariados and they had seen this spot as an easy meal for winter given the general infestation. There would be little chance of getting out of this one without a battle.

(i don't really wanna control the pokemon for whatever battle happens, so feel free to dispatch of them as you like lol)
