Each downed wild Pokemon made his team stronger and better equipped to push deeper into the forest's depths, however, as Slayer took a mean hit, getting poisoned for the effort as well before downing the Spinarak, the lack of any natural light from the sun made the aspiring champion pause to consider. He wasn't entirely sure where in the woods Helga even was, though he was sure she'd find him first if she knew the deep woods as well as was implied, but he also didn't want to push his luck in the darkness anymore than he already had, especially knowing that there was the pitfalls in these woods that he knew there was. After some consideration, he decided to head back to the Pokemon Center in Starbor, using a piece of rope to mark where he left off by tying it around a low hanging and readily visual branch before heading back.
Once he was safely back in town and had gotten his Pokemon into the Pokemon Center to heal, he went to a nearby vendor and got something to snack on, quietly humming to himself as he did his best to plan the rest of his excursion into the Deep Woods when the sun was higher in the sky, though it only made the shadows lighter that deep into the woods. Wonder if any of the other champion candidates are in the area yet... Noting he only had two Pokeballs to spare as well, he made a mental note to also stop by a Pokeshop in the morning as well.
