Lucifer could hear the Pichu moving around in the bush. However, the little mouse refused to come out. He was not really surprised. They were quite a fearful Pokemon. However, that made the Absol more determined.
Clearly, Lucifer would need to up the ante. He looked directly at the bush before lowering his head towards the sack of berries. The Dark Type did not intend to eat the berries, though. Instead, Lucifer made to open the sack. He attempted to make enough noise to lure the Pichu out. This Pokemon seemed to think they could simply wait it out. However, the Absol was determined to prove them wrong.

The Pichu’s ears twitched at the sound of shuffling. Was he going through her sack? What an awful Pokemon! But… why was he doing that? Did he intend on eating all the berries she’d worked so hard to collect? Certainly this was some kind of trap. Why would he be so insistent on chasing her only to eat her sack of berries? The funny thing was, it didn’t sound like he was chewing anything. Or, if he was rather, he was sure taking his sweet time.
It hadn’t quite gotten the wary Pichu to come out of her hiding spot, but she had to admit, it was well played tactic.
What would she do now? As much as she wanted to save her berries, it wasn’t like her berries help more importance than her very life. It didn’t seem like waiting this out would be as great of an option as she initially thought. Still, it was a distraction enough to open her up to another escape route. She couldn’t go directly in front of her, but Pichu had more skills than just running directly in front. The Pichu grabbed a rock and threw it at a bush to the left of her.
Taking the possible distraction as an opportunity, Meadow dashed out of the bush to her right and set her sights to climb up a tree. Should her charade have been successful, she may have been able to run up the tree without even being noticed. That being said, perhaps the Absol’s reflexes were fast enough to stop her from getting to the tree.

Lucifer watched the bush out of the corner of his eye in case the Pichu tried to run out. Unfortunately for him, the little mouse was not lured out. The Absol was somewhat annoyed by this. However, Lucifer did not have much time to think on it. A rustle of another bush got his attention and he moved to see if the Pichu had tried to change hiding spots.
Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be a distraction as the electric mouse's scent was heading in the opposite direction. The Absol whirled around and raced after the Pichu. Lucifer aimed to get close enough to lunge at the yellow rodent. He was not about to let his prey get away. The Dark Type was a determined hunter.

The Pichu let out a bit of a yelp at the speed of the Absol's recovery. Despite this, and the Absol's slightly higher speed, the little yellow mouse was just barely able to escape the swipe of his claw before scurrying into the branches. Excellent! Escape was made slightly harder for her, but it wouldn't be as easy for him to get to her now as it had been when she was in the bush. Quickly, the little mouse looked around to see what she could use to thwart the canine's attempt at getting to her. No doubt, this wouldn't stop his attempts. Though mean and ferocious, she had to admit, he was quite determined.
The down side to being in a tree was that the best thing she could do was either throw berries at him or branches. Lucky for her, the branches were full of Oran berries! That may not have seemed like much, but Meadow knew that Oran Berries could be as hard as a rock when both eating, and dropping onto Pokemon's heads. Now, Meadow wasn't one for violence, but desperate times called for desperate measures.
The Pichu grabbed onto the hard, blue berry, before chucking it down at the canine as hard as she could. Granted, she didn't throw it that hard, because her arms were short and she was quite hesitant, but non the less, she threw it harder than she thought she would. The Pichu had to work fast. Certainly one berry, as hard as the Oran Berries were, wouldn't be enough to thwart the murderous canine. She'd need more berries, much more, and fast.
The Pichu bustled into the branches and came back with a set of three berries before dropping them toward the Absol. This certainly wouldn't be enough to chase him away, but certainly she'd be able to chase him off eventually. Those berries were really hard and painful to be hit by.

Lucifer felt grim satisfaction as he heard the Pichu yelp. Even though he missed hitting the mouse with his claw swipe, the yelp was a clear indication that they were terrified. However, the cowardly Pokemon managed to escape the Absol and clambered into the tree. To further add insult to injury, the insolent Pichu began throwing Oran berries down at Lucifer. Thankfully, his scythe and thick fur were a rather effective defense against the edible projectiles.
Nonetheless, the Absol was angered by the yellow rodent's actions and he let out a low growl while fluffing up his mane. Lucifer then proceeded to dig his claws into the bark of the tree and climb up towards the Pichu's branch. Once he had got within a decent distance, he lunged and aimed to land on it. The Absol hoped to corner his prey. Lucifer was determined to strike true this time.

As she suspected, the canine was able to barrel through her projectiles, despite her attempts at causing the Pokemon harm. However, the Pichu was able to use her size to her own advantage. The Pichu ran all the way to the edge of the branch, the edge just barely hanging on at her weight. Then, she simply waited for him to make the attempt to leap at her before dashing forward. She made sure to wait at the very last second to where it would have been rather difficult for him to recover. The branch could barely handle her weight, so there would be no doubt that it would break under the pressure of his weight.
Whether or not the Absol managed to recover without falling, the Pichu dashed down the tree on all fours, and made a break for her sack while the canine had left left it alone by the bush. Her plan would be to grab the sack with both paws and drag it into the bush, where she would hide until the Absol would inevitably go away.
What she didn't count on was just how badly the sack held her back from her escape. The Pichu tried running as fast as she could while pulling the sack, but then she fell face first on the ground, hard, smacking her forehead onto the dirt ground. Not good. The Pichu managed to recover, but it wasn't a fast recover, and thanks to her disadvantage with speed, she could have lost her chance at escape.
Trying to push herself up, the Pichu accidentally slipped her front paw thanks to being too eager to escape.

Lucifer crept towards the Pichu. He knew the rodent's only escape was down. Sadly, the Pichu knew it as well. As the Absol made a lunge for the yellow mouse, his target moved and left him to fall. However, Lucifer wasn't badly injured as it was not far to fall and he knew how to land on his feet.
He then proceeded to pursue the Pichu. The Absol saw no need to hurry, though. The foolish rodent was slowed down by the sack of berries. Lucifer confidently walked towards the Pichu. He had a feeling his prey would not escape this time.

Lucifer's confidence preceded him. The Absol had the opportunity to launch his attack, but he took his sweet time to reach her. It would be that same confidence, or rather arrogance if you asked Meadow, that would allow her to once again slip away from his grasp. The Pichu quickly managed to gather herself up and dashed into the bush. He never should have left that sack by itself. Now if he wanted to get her, he would have to try and get her directly from her hiding spot. There was no luring her out that would work now.
To add to it, however, Meadow had a bit of a trick of her own up her sleeve. No doubt, the Absol would try to get her directly in the bush, but there was now way the Pichu would make that easy for him. The little mouse Pokemon opened the sack, which was considerably bigger than her, and burrowed deep into the sack before closing it around her. Then, she used as many berries as possible to keep herself hidden.
Yes, being a small Pokemon had its perks indeed. Not only would the darkness of the bush make it hard for him to see (though he was a dark type, so maybe she should have thought that part through a little bit more), but, more importantly, her sent would be masked somewhat by the berries. And no doubt it would be harder for him to get to her...
...Hopefully.

Lucifer sighed as the Pichu disappeared inside the bush with the sack of berries. Now he needed to take a more direct approach. The Absol slashed a hole in the bush with his scythe. Unfortunately, the sniveling little rodent had vanished from sight. Lucifer was somewhat annoyed by this but decided to take advantage of the sack simply being left unattended.
He carefully picked up the sack with his mouth and proceeded to carry it out of the bush. However, the Absol noticed a change in the weight of the sack. It was now slightly heavier than before. Curious, Lucifer set the sack down and began to examine it. Something strange was going on here.

The Pichu was grateful for her strategy, and her size, because had she just allowed the bush to be her cover, the Absol's scythe certainly would have chopped her in half. However, it changed from a good idea to one of her worst the moment she felt the sack being dragged. Drat! She had just a few moments proved how foolish it was to leave the sack by itself, and now he has it again. Not only that, but hiding in the sack was just the same as saying "Please! Eat me! And have these berries as a side dish or desert."
However, the motion stopped as soon as it started, and the Pichu didn't dare move a muscle. The yellow mouse sealed her eyes shut as she felt the Absol examine the sack. Not good, not good! She's practically gotten herself trapped! Unless by some miracle he didn't see her, she'd be having a whole lot more trouble than not being able to get her sack of berries back.
The Pichu's heart raced, ears pinned against her head as she kept her entire body completely and totally still. She kept her breathing as low as possible, and held her breath every time she threatened to let out a gasp in fear. If fortune was in her favor, maybe he'd step away from the sack without even noticing that she was there.
It wasn't likely, but... still.

Lucifer was sure there was something off about this sack of berries. Not only was it heavier than before, but he could also pick up another scent among the sweet scents of the berries. The Absol was going to have to examine the sack's contents instead. Something odd was going on here and Lucifer was determined to find out what. He circled the sack before crouching down at the open end.
The Absol then reached inside the sack with a front paw. Lucifer aimed to bring whatever was in the sack out. Even if it turned out to be nothing, he would still have the berries. The Absol knew he would win either way. Lucifer continued to rummage around in the sack.

The Pichu tried her best not to make a sound when she saw the large paw searching around the sack. His claws were so large and sharp, it made the little Pichu's heart race. As carefully as possible, the Pichu backed up as far into the sack as she could, trying to avoid the claw without alerting to her presence in the sack. She considered her option of retreating out of the sack, but the Absol's positioning made it nearly impossible to do so. This was really the worst plan she'd ever had.
The Pichu couldn't keep herself from letting out a yelp as the paw landed on top of her head. Before being grabbed, the Pichu avoided the paw as much as she could. Perhaps if she circled around enough, she would have confused him enough to escape! Should the Absol's efforts to catch her heighten at that point, though, it would have been quite easy to keep her cornered.

Lucifer continued to rummage around in the sack of berries. He knew there was something hidden inside. As the Absol searched with his paw, he could hear something scurrying around inside. It sounded like a Rattata to Lucifer. However, that did not deter him.
The hungry Absol was a determined hunter. Lucifer's persistence paid off when his paw hit something that didn't feel like a berry and made a rather familiar yelp. He soon realized it was the Pichu he had been hunting earlier and let out a dark chuckle. The Absol resumed his rummaging with renewed fervor. Lucifer was not about to let the rodent escape again.

The Pichu made some pretty desperate attempts at avoiding the paw, which wasn't a simple task. He had an advantage in speed, but she had an advantage in actually being able to see what was happening. Though his paw's strikes were almost accurate, the Pichu was able to just barely dodge every single attempt the Absol made to strike her. However, just as she thought he couldn't get any closer to catching her, it happened.
In an instant, the small creature was pinned down by the massive paw, causing the Pichu to let out a squeak as she tried to push the canine's paw out. Feeling her small frame being pulled out quickly, the Pichu ended up letting her instincts take full control. Before she realized what was happening, the Pichu let out a ThunderShock to hit the Absol in an attempt to daze him. Unfortunately, it would certainly daze the Pichu, which was why she hadn't tried this tactic earlier. Even if the Absol was stunned, the Pichu was dazed.

Lucifer could hear the Pichu scurrying around inside the sack of berries. He was both determined and hungry. The Absol knew it would only be a matter of time before he caught the rodent. The Electric Pokemon could not evade Lucifer forever. His prey had very little space to run.
Suddenly, the Absol heard a squeak as he struck true and pinned the yellow mouse under his paw. Lucifer eagerly began to drag the Pichu out of the sack. He was far too hungry to be bothered by the smaller Pokemon's pathetic struggles. However, a Thundershock from the Dark type's prey caught him off guard. Not only that, the attack dazed Lucifer. He retreated a short distance away and flopped down to recover.
