Misty, as an egg hunter, was only half unnerved by the comment but shrugged it off.
"Well, you will know if your mom's hunt was well if she catches caught food to bring back" Ruby told Greg.
She frowned as Chomper said he smelled Screech and Thud.
"Oh my, them being here to cause trouble is bound to just be trouble causing and not good at all" she said.
She got out of the water and walked over nearer her family, "Chomper says he can smell the distinct smell of Screech and Thud" Ruby informed her parents with a frown.
Misty, being on her own, quickly got out and headed towards the nearest bushes she could hide in.

Screech nodded and quietly and quickly rushed up the mound, but stopped short of reaching it and hunched as far as he could, creeping just enough to spy.
He turned and rushed back, "That little biter and his fast runner friend along with her family and his parents and the young egg napper, bellydragger and other such young ones are just over there, spalshing in the water" he informed Redclaw.
"but the parents, including that biters father, are nearby". Screech knew hardly anything scared Redclaw, including other sharpteeth, but Chomper's father being nearby was something they would have to take into account and work around.

Meanwhile, with the swimmers talking to Pterano, one of them spotted Cree as he flapped off, "There he is!" she pointed, "he did it! I told you!". The others frowned, so maybe she had been telling the truth.
Cree turned and spotted that he'd been spotted and put on a burst of speed. He'd have just argued and called the swimmers dumb and stupid if Pterano hadn't been there, but he knew there was no way of getting around the situation if his brother was around to point out every lie he said to the swimmers.
