[ In Person ]

[ Ash and Pikachu have followed one of the piglet-squirrels up a rather tall tree in his attempt to befriend the thing. The problem though is the higher up he is the less weight the branches can take and the one he's seated on snaps quickly under his weight, Pikachu's weight and the Piglet-Squirrel's weight ]

[ Before the three of them plummet back to the ground below, Ash is able to grab hold of a branch and the piglet-squirrel with a quick "Gotcha!" He cradles it gently in a protective hold against his chest. The poor thing is a bit shaken. ]

[ Pikachu, in the meantime, Is holding onto Ash's shoulder, also a little shaken because this is not a great position for them to be in. What if the other branch snaps? Ash could probably pretty easily pull them up again if he had use of his other arm but since it's currently occupied by their new friend Pikachu's not really sure what to do. He can't call out Ash's other Pokemon for help because they're not here. What he wouldn't give for Bulbasaur or Bayleaf's vine whip right about now. The only thing he can do for now is to climb up to the branch above so at least Ash doesn't have both their weights to worry about- not that Pikachu is particularly heavy. ]

[ Ash is pretty confident that if he were to let go it might be uncomfortable but it won't hurt too bad. He's more worried about the creature he's got tucked up against him. He can't stay like this forever though and Pikachu is getting a little frantic with his concerned 'chuuu's. Maybe, he can swing just a little to the right and drop on to a lower branch. ]

Pikapi...

[ Ash can feel how worried his best friend is but he really doesn't want the piglet-squirrel to get hurt which is the only reason he hasn't tried one of his two ideas yet. He feels Pikachu's little hands grip his arm and pull. But while Pikachu is plenty strong for its species, Ash is a human boy and still much too heavy for him. ]

Don't over do it, Pikachu.

[ Ash tells him and Pikachu stops his desperate pulling. That Felwinter person had told them to call if they needed anything- this probably counted. He takes a chance and carefully climbs back down to reach Ash's back pocket that would usually house the pokedex but now holds the communication device he was given. It takes some doing but Pikachu is able to pull it out and after nearly dropping it, gets it Ash's hand. ]

Thanks buddy!

[ Ash tells as he tries to work the thing with one hand-now especially difficult due to his extra passenger. ]

[ The angle's a little.. weird. There's something fluffy in the corner of the camera but it's much too close to tell what it is. Ash is sort visible-mostly it's his blue and white shirt that can be seen but he manages to tilt the camera so he can look down at it. ]

I got kinda stuck. Can someone get me down?

[ he's not nearly as frantic as maybe someone might expect a ten year old trapped in a tree would be. In fact, he seems relatively calm. Maybe there's a bit of an edge in his voice but that's about it. ]
