[Off they go, deep into the woods, until Marill finds them.
Berries. Magost berries, to be exact. They're high up in a tree, and Marill leaps for them and tries to grab at them and can't possibly hope to reach them.
Turns out that he wanted to help make dinner a little tastier. You know. Be a team player and all that.
Too bad he can't reach these stupid berries on his own. Please help, useless person that isn't normally around Pokémon.]
[Oh hey, Ludger's helping. It's about time he did something useful.
Marill shakes berries off of the branch! ...For a little while anyway, until something glowing in the woods catches his attention and he turns his head to stare at it.]
[That's the best warning Silver can give as he runs over, but it might be a little late. Those red glowing spots are heading towards Ludger, and fast- and it's becoming much more clear that it wasn't some eyes in the trees, but a very large Stantler.]
[The good news is that Silver got enough of a surge of adrenaline to get over to Ludger before the charging Stantler did.
The bad news is that he has no time to pull him out of the way, so he goes with his instincts and knocks Ludger out of the way, pulls out a Pokéball, and.
Nothing comes out. Shit-
He's lucky the Stantler decided to headbutt him into the nearest tree instead of impaling him with his antlers and ramming him into it instead.]
[The Stantler rears its head and gets ready to slam Silver with its antlers again, and all he can do to avoid it is roll away- which is less of a proper roll and more him falling to a side out of the way of the angry stag's antlers.
Silver struggles to get back onto his feet; he needs a plan, but he can't approach Ludger and help. He'd just be drawing attention back towards him. So instead, he throws a Chesto Berry in his direction and stumbles behind the nearest tree before he gets slammed again.
This wouldn't be a problem at all if he just had his team, or if he was stuck in the woods with anyone that wasn't mister clueless about Pokémon, but now he has no choice but to put his trust in Ludger and hopes he figures it out before he gets impaled.]

But, Silver said to keep an eye on him, so that's what he'll do. Even if that means going into the woods.]

Oh.
[Easy enough. He'll just pick Marill up and, there we go, hold him up towards the berries.]

What is it?
no subject
Before the round Pokémon can comprehend what's happening, he's asleep in Ludger's arms.]
no subject
[Wait, why is he aslee--
Or, well.
He can tell why it's sleeping now. Suddenly, he's feeling pretty sleepy too...]
Wha--...

[He couldn't even respond to him rushing forward. He could try to reach out to him, in a haze, but Silver was moving much quicker than him.
And flies back much quicker soon after. Without his weapons, and just with a Pokemon, he's not entirely sure what to do.]
