Thomas' Perception Roll: Roll(2d6)+3:10!
For most people, crossing the grassy plains can be a bit of a nuisance. You have a lot foliage to deal with; small roots and snags that can trip a person up if they are not careful; in addition to minor pitfalls that are absolutely invisible to all but the trained eye where one can twist their ankle in. Fortunately, Thomas is more than used to this kind of terrain and is able to traverse it far quicker than anyone else in the party. The flats of Octave Island had trained him well for this exercise. The terrain around these parts was immediately familiar to him as an old friend would be.
As such, you cover a lot of ground quickly, making it nearly all the way to the hill before you even had to think about stopping. The only reason you did stop is because you had reached the southmost pond of the island. But you saw enough along the way to make the trip worthwhile. In some of the bushes, you found that there were a few discreet leftover bits of shell and webbing in the grassy plains, a clear indication that something had hatched recently, most likely a few small Bug-Types or something similar. It is around mating season, so you aren't too surprised by that fact. There were also a few feathers of black and red scattered about. Mostly of small birds, although you did see one feather that was a larger and sharper in shape then the rest. You also very nearly dropped your foot into a pile of Rattata droppings. You know for a fact they aren't native to the region; other people brought them in. They've become a bit of a nuisance on nearly all of the islands in one way or another; a veritable infestation.
Diving into the treeline before the pond you had to slow a little bit, but not much. Here you saw some husks of a different insect of some kind that had recently shed off some kind coating. You also find a different type of feather to sample around here colored jet black and there is evidence of some Grass Pokémon rooting around in the bushes. A few cracked branches here and there seemed to indicate that some larger Pokémon could possibly habitat this part of the woods as well, but of that you fact aren't entirely certain. A few dainty tracks of unknown Pokémon can be found scampering about the underbrush.
Finally, you arrive to the waterside. You spot some kind of wet blue thing in the water, but it spots you immediately and dives back under. Along the river shore there are tracks that lead up to, and into the water. Despite your best efforts though, you don't see a whole lot of Pokémon running about just yet. You could investigate any of things you've seen a bit further and you'd still be on time to return to the group in 30 minutes or you could just head back a tad early. The decision is yours!

For his part, Leaf scans the immediate area but isn't quite able to make out anything immediately interesting. High up above however, the shadow of a rather large bird was coasting in the wind. It dives off past the plains before you can get too good of a look at it unfortunately. The sound of pleasant bird song emanates from the beach.
