Kumori was still feeling bouncy as they left the Cave and entered the Forest. He still hadn't quite worked out why they called it 'Slumber' Forest, but hey, nothing was going bad yet. Konku was floating lazily above him, apparently not feeling threatened at all.

A Hoothoot flew onto a branch, and yelled to the citizens of the forest, ~Concert in ten minutes! Run!~ This was followed by the running of some pokemon to the edges of the forest, the waiting of others since they still had ten minutes left until this event and they were rather lazy, and a few who just stood there, thinking, 'Ah well, I could use a good rest anyway'

Kumori looked up at Konku and their gazes met with the same expression, 'What?'. Konku floated over to the Hoothoot, ~Um, why are we running?~ he asked, Kumo seated on the ground and looking up at the two.

~Because there is a concert in nine minutes~ He said simply, and flew off to the edge of the forest.

With another confused look, followed by a shrug from both of them, they(mostly Kumo) shouldered the pack and walked off, except Konku, who floated. Neither seemed concerned with what the concert was, since not all the Pokemon reacted so violently. Besides, there was a...Peaceful air about the forest.

A rattata and a meowtwig ran past, an oddish skipped about, and a florasian picked some herbs it would use for it's next remedy. The forest was the most active place, it seemed, Kumori had been so far. But maybe that was just because of the 'concert'...

Kumori stopped for a moment, looking at the Florasian as it collected herbs. He turned his purple eyes to the Meowtwig and Rattata and looked ready to spring after to join in. Konku was just floating lazily, enjoying the populated air and the peaceful air.

The rattata and meowtwig quickly ran off the the edge of the forest, and stayed there. The oddish seemed confused, and the florasian didn't seem to care about this concert.

The Umbreon formed Kumori inched closer to the Florasian. ~Hello.~ he greeted, dipping his head. There was just a way the Pokemon held itself that he felt he should use a proper Umbreon greeting. Konku looked at the Oddish and waved in a lazy way.

The oddish ran away quickly, and the florasian gave a slight bow before turning to drop a leaf of something oddly colored into a bowl. It then began crushing the leaves, and when it was finished it ate a quarter of it. Did it have a disease of some sort? It seemed perfectly healthy... maybe there was some other reason? Who knows.

"Char?" Konku tilted his head, floating upright and watching the Oddish retreat.
Kumori smiled somewhat, figuring this was the Pokemon to ask ~What's going on?~, and he did. He was curious as to what, exactly, was a 'Concert'.

The oddish kept on running farther away, but the florasian answered the question for him.~The singers are going to sing again today~ Said the florasian ~Most of the pokemon run, but I stay here, perfecting my herb mix. I'm sure that with the right ingredients I can block out the mystical sleeping effects of the song. So far it's not working, though... plus, I can't find any heal powder around here, so it's no wonder. It won't work without that... or I could use one of the human-made full heal sprays, it could work. But I'm a bit short on those~ She sighed, and crushed the herbs and berries some more.

Kumori pawed the air, ~Oh, hey, I have one of those!~ he probably seemed like some traveling sales-pokemon now, but that didn't matter. He nodded to himself and dug in the bag--pulling out the yellow spray heal. Konku shrugged. Crazy little thing. With a slight yawn he landed next to Kumo, curious. So 'concerts' where were Pokemon came and sang, eh? Interesting.

~Thank you!~ She said happily, breaking open the spray bottle and pouring the liquid into a new badly-crafted handmade bowl, (Probably made by another pokemon with hands, not paws, or a traveler) along with an energy root and a chesto berry. Three ingredients; pretty easy, actually, Kumori might want to try making another some day. After some mixing and pounding, the mixture was a paste which was colored exactly like the blue sky on a perfect day. She then went to a small pond and added some water, and it looked the same color, only water-ish... like an odd-colored gatorade. ~You can eat the paste, but it tastes better with water~ She explained ~One of each ingredient is enough for three servings~ She said, rather matter-of-factly, drinking one serving herself and giving the rest to Kumori. She really knew her herbs, and was definetely not hiding this fact. Kumori obtained two doses of the strange sleep-preventant The Hoothoot was still around, yelling, ~Two minutes until the concert!~

Kumo blinked, that was all rather quick. ~Woooow~ he lapped up one serving, it tasted slightly bitter--But that was probably the energy root talking. Konku shrugged and dug in Kumo's pack, bringing out the ear plugs and plopping into his ears, giving the Hoothoot a 'You are far too loud' look.

The hoothoot glared at him, and flew off, while a few jigglypuffs walked up to the top of a tree stump. It was such a huge stump, it must have been the biggest tree in the world... ~Testing, testing, one two three...~ Muttered the lead singer, a shiny jigglypuff, into it's microphone. (that all jigglypuffs have, though I am clueless where they get it or where they keep it) The concert seemed to be starting....

Kumo looked at the Florasian and then to the Jigglypuffs with a tilted head. Didn't those guys sing lullaby's? Konku looked to where Kumo was staring, looking at the 'Puffs with a 'Heh. Your kidding.' face.

Suprisingly, they sung the original lullaby... only twisted. It sounded more like a real song now, almost heavy metal. This was... odd....

Konku couldn't, of coarse, hear a thing with the ear-plugs...Tom was right, these were really useful... Kumo sat and listened, not feeling even the least bit tired. He had his ears pricked and his purple eyes were wide--like a kid first seeing a real candy shop.

The florasian sat silently, uninterested in the music, only interested that it had worked. As the song ended, they took a bow, and then realized that Kumori had listened to their music, and that Konku had earplugs. So two things happened; first, the lead singer came up to Kumo and thanked him, several times and very happily, since she was so glad their music had been heard. Second, Konku was attacked with double-slap by another singer, who was not at all happy that someone apparently thought the song was so horrible they needed earplugs.

Kumori grinned. ~No, no. It was great.~ 'certainly an interesting re-mix...' Konku blinked, with the ear plugs still in, he couldn't hear their complaints, and being mostly a Ghost allowed him not physically feel the slaps, but he certainly felt the pressure from them. ~I'm...Sorry?~ the Charmander replied, tilting his head.

~Well, thank you!~ Said the shiny jigglypuff, hugging Kumo.
Meanwhile, the normal jigglypuff pulled the earplugs out of Konku's ears and started jumping up and down on top of them.

Kumo gave a small smile, these concert things were fun. He looked sideways to the Florasian, who seemed to still not care at all.
Konku looked a little put out as the ear plugs were smushed. ~Hey...~ he muttered, lifting a claw. They had been so useful for that screeching Hoothoot...

~Hey yourself!~ Said the jigglypuff to Konku, once again double-slapping him. This pokemon seemed to hate that charmander with a passion.
~How did you listen to the music without falling asleep, anyway?~ The jigglypuff asked Kumo. Every last person who heard it had fallen asleep, though the jigglypuffs hadn't figured out why.

~I didn't do anything!~ Konku replied, tail flame leaping up in his rising anger.
~Oh, uhm, that Pokemon there gave me something to drink.~ Kumori looked over at the Florasian with slightly raised ears.

~You used earplugs in the middle of our concert!~ She yelled.
~Really?~ The jigglypuff said, walking over to the florasian. The florasian simply shruggged, as if to say, "Yeah, I did it, no big deal", but it was not too hard to tell she was very smug at the current moment. Of all that tried that little potion, she had been the one to get it right. Those who laughed at the very concept of the sleep-preventant would be in line to try some of it. Such lovely irony.

~Yea, so?~ the Ghost Lizard replied, clearly not at all seeing the Jigglypuff's problem.
Kumo grinned, waving his tail absently.

~That means you hated it! Or, at least you didn't want to hear it! That's just mean! If you don't wanna hear it, walk away, don't show everyone you don't wanna hear!~
~Cool!~ The jigglypuff said to Kumo, completely forgeting the cat, as it didn't seem to want any attention ~That's great! I so totally wish we could thank you!~

~What I don't want to hear is you complaining.~ Konku replied, ~So I didn't listen, at least I was there and didn't run away like that Hoothoot.~
~No, no. That's alright. It was good enough to hear your concert.~the Umbreon said with a smile. He blinked as he thought to himself, he played a instrument...Would it be possible to play it as an Umbreon? Hm.

~Well, we should get going then. Bye!~ The jigglypuff talking to Kumo said, bouncing off, but then stopping ~Come on, we're leaving! And stop scaring the charmander!~
The jigglypuff glared at Konku, and yelled back to the other members of the group ~I'm not coming! Not until I teach this charmander a lesson!~ With that, she used a Hyper voice, ear-spitting high-frequency sound waves being yelled towards Konku. No more simple playing around, this was a battle!
