@@Sylveon, Lurele gasps when Tiana slides into the crater next to her, a Pokeball in one hand and her other hand balled up into a fist as though she'd been ready to punch the first grunt to come over the edge. "Oh, it's just you... Where's Rio!? He was supposed to be right back as soon as he'd found you!" Lurele's eyes go wide as she starts to scramble up the crater, an obvious look of worry on her face. "What happened to him!?" @@Leafeon,@@Vaporeon, Lucario took a moment to assess the situation as he rolls away from the truck, a small smirk on the Pokemon's face as he sees his plan, for the most part, seeming to work. Now he just had to get back to Lurele before she came after him... But there was one last issue to take care of first. Darting forward to the first of the cars to have stopped, Lucario quickly reaches into the open window to try and pry Purrl off of the man's face. "Cario!" He barks towards the Purrloin before trying to gesture her back towards Sasha, then starts racing back towards the ruins where he'd left Lurele.

@, Ninarya scowls slightly, narrowing her eyes at Thomas. "That is because if it were common knowledge, your Chantry would descend upon us with their ironclad dogs to wipe us out. And we've been persecuted enough by your kind, Shem." Pulling the butt of her staff out of the dirt she turns to start walking away before hesitating and looking over her shoulder at the knight. "...I... I apologize, I did not intend to snap at you. These past weeks have been... difficult." Sighing quietly the elf turns around to look at him again, though she still doesn't make any move to come closer to the others in the camp. "If you truly wished to know, I was to become the next Keeper for my tribe. It is only natural that one in charge of keeping the tribe's secrets should be proficient enough to cast them."

((Posting from mobile atm - can't format my post very well)) Ninarya frowns slightly as Ser Thomas approaches her, her grip tightening on her staff again. She had been prepared for this question, but hasn't been expecting it so soon... Or from one that might have been a Templar, just judging from his armour. "I am Dalish, and I am here to join the Grey Wardens. Not to answer to a Shemlen." ...Probably not the best way for her to go about making friends, but Ninarya couldn't help herself. She was still proud to be who she was, both as an elf and as a Mage.

@, Eevee's eyes seemed to get a little wider as Isabella got ready to slap her, and without even waiting for a command from Rin the little silver Eevee starts to kick up a large cloud of dust. It was trying to hide behind a Sand Attack, though it was kicking it into the air more than aiming it at the Clefairy... Making it hard to see, though it would have most likely harmed Eevee's ability to aim as well... "Eve, chill out would ya? Uh, just... Hell you made a mess... Use Swift, I guess, you don't actually have to aim that." After Rin's command reaches her Pokemon there is a small delay before a number of star shaped projectiles launch out of the dust cloud, seeming to go in random directions at first before starting to home in towards Isabella. ---------------- @@Leafeon, @@Sylveon,@@Vaporeon, As Clair flew out of the den she jumped off of Charizard's back, returning him to his Pokeball and then doing the same to Kingdra and Dragonair, sparing a moment to glance at Muna and scowl. "Well I was going to thank you for your help, but nevermind." Without waiting for a reply she turns and walks back into her Gym, following after Stella. Once inside the Gym, Clair nods at Stella and smiles slightly. "Girl, come here for a moment." She nods her head to gesture for Stella to come closer before extending a hand to the other trainer. "You ran out after our match earlier, but I think what I saw in the Den makes up for it. Thank you for your help with that pair. You did a good job helping to keep one of them distracted, if it had been two against one I don't know if I'd have been able to win as easily as I did." The dragon type leader smirks before shrugging her shoulders slightly. "I guess I'm saying... Welcome to Blackthorn. If you want to try for the Rising Badge again in the future, I'd be happy to battle you again. And if you ever wanted to train in the Den... I could probably arrange that for you. Under supervision, of course." ..... Not actually all that far away, the two girls who had attacked the Den were ducked behind the shadow of an outcropping from the mountain, watching the gym carefully for signs of pursuit. "Sooo, why did we do that again?" "That doesn't matter, you'll forget again if I tell you anyways..." Yiree smiles slightly as she watches a couple of the trainers argue with Clair, tapping one of the Pokeballs at her belt. "Besides, it seems to have worked... I guess it's true that no one who challenges the League likes Clair."

@, The camp was easy to find... The smoke from the fire, the light it cast, the smell of the other bodies there... It was all laid out before the wolf's eyes as she looked upon it from the vegetation surrounding the camp. She watched quietly as the knights entered the camp, her lip curling back in a snarl out of reflex but stopping herself before making a noise. She wasn't here for trouble... In fact, that was what she was hoping to avoid... Taking a moment to try and register the other's scents in her mind over the smoke, Ninarya slowly starts to step forward from the underbrush. She was better with scents than names - and her nose was better than any Mabari's when she was in this form. Once she gets clear of the underbrush the wolf quickly starts to stand upright, and in a matter of seconds she had changed from the canine form to that of a young Dalish elf. Gripping her staff tightly as she walks forward, Ninarya stops at the edge of the light of the fire and leans upon it. "This is the Grey Warden camp?" She already knew the answer - she'd been listening in the brush for a couple minutes now, she just hadn't wanted to be the first one there. She tries to keep her gaze focused on Yuril, making a point of not looking towards the armoured human.

@@Leafeon,@@Sylveon, @@Vaporeon, Lucario's ears twitch a little at the sound of the cars coming closer, the fighting type quickly tearing his gaze towards the vehicles. He'd seen Tiana making her way towards where Lurele was - he just had to buy time for them to both stay hidden. "Caaarrrr!" The spikes on the back of Lucario's hands glow and extend as he readies Metal Claw, rushing forward towards the lead car. As he gets close, Lucario rolls to the side and attempts to slice through one of the tires with his claws. Jumping back to his feet he keeps moving so as to try and avoid a counter attack, striking at the rear tire as well before rushing towards the next car in the line. "Lucario!" He leaps onto the hood of the second car, plunging his claws down through the hood under his feet hoping to hit something important, before jumping off to the side and trying to hit one of that car's tires as well. He had to do what he could to disable them... Then he had to get back to Lurele!

@, Rin giggles quietly and nods her head. "Well, it's a pleasure meeting all three of you! Thank you so much, by the way! I volunteered to help out here, but it turns out I'm a terrible teacher without being able to do things hands-on... You're really saving my butt tonight! I don't know what I was going to do otherwise!" As she speaks, Rin starts walking over towards the clearing where the students were gathered. "Alright kids, special treat tonight! My new friend Abigail has agreed to have a battle with me, instead of the usual lesson plan." As Rin stepped into the clearing, her Eevee jumped down off of her shoulder as she turned back around to wink at Abigail. "Would you like to make this one on one, or two Pokemon each? Also, you can have the first move, hon. Eve and I are ready when you are." "Eevee!" ------------------- @@Leafeon,@@Vaporeon, @@Sylveon, "Damn it, this is too much. Viro, get ready!" "Rrrready!" Knowing that they were outnumbered, and with Yiree nearly out of usable Pokemon, both girls stepped back to back and recalled their wounded Pokemon already on the field. Quickly Yiree grabbed Viro's hand and pulled out her final Pokeball, dropping it on the ice between them and shouting "Gardevoir! Teleport!" There was the flash of light from the Pokeball opening, and just as suddenly both girls were gone. The danger wouldn't have been quite over yet though, as the ice was by now incredibly weak. Before anyone would be able to move, the ice under Stella and Muna would break, starting to drop the trainers into the cold water... Before a Dragonair rises up under Stella, and a Kingdra under Muna. The beating of large wings would signal Clair flying down closer to the water, riding on her Charizard's back. "Good job you two," she mentions towards her two Pokemon that had so quickly caught the trainers. She directs her gaze towards Stella and Muna for a moment before allowing herself a small smile. "And you as well. Thanks for your help... Wait for me near the gym, Dragonair and Kingdra will get you safely back across the water. I don't think the ice is thick enough to support you now." Charizard starts to beat its wings again before turning to fly back towards Sable. Clair's glare for her was much less kind than it had been to Stella and Muna. "And you! Don't think I didn't notice what you were up to!" She stares momentarily at the Pokeball holding Goomy before directing her glare back to Sable. "Using the confusion to catch one of Blackthorn's dragons... You're lucky I don't make you release it! Don't let me catch you back in the Den again!" As though for emphasis, Mega Charizard X opens its mouth wide and roars as Clair finishes speaking, flying forward and slapping Sable in the back with his tail as though to shove her towards the exit.

@@Vaporeon, The Pokeball starts shaking again, and while it seems like Goomy is going to break out again, the Pokeball does manage to click shut at the last moment. Goomy was caught. ------------------ @@Leafeon,@@Sylveon, Seviper had started to turn its mouth towards Axew when Dustox's attack forced its mouth closed, giving Axew the opportunity to land another hit. Seviper's head smacked down into the now very thin ice, abruptly breaking through it and disappearing into the water. A blast of steam arose from the hole where the snake had gone, likely from the flames that had been in its mouth hitting the water. "Hey! Seviper, you're not supposed to be going swimming! Get back up here!" When the serpent doesn't resurface, Viro crosses her arms stubbornly across her chest. "I know you can still hear me, Seviper!" A short distance away, Yiree had been forced to recall her Emolga and Beartic, and she was reaching for two more Pokemon. "Damn it, Viro, be ready to run would you?" As she tosses out the two Pokeballs, an Absol and Zangoose stood in front of her... ...Before Seviper burst from the ice underneath Zangoose, trying to strike it with Poison tail. "Ah! Damn it Viro, call off your snake!" "Bad Seviper! Bad! No, come back!" Forced to return her Pokemon before it could hurt Zangoose, Viro turns back towards Stella and Muna, laughing quietly. "Sooooory about that! I guess I'll have to use someone else now, huh?" Viro pulls out another Pokeball, tossing it into the air. A flash of light, and then a purple blur had disappeared into the water in the cracks on the ice. "Alright Starmie! Use Rapid Spin to break up some of that ice, would ya?" Spinning quickly, Starmie comes up underneath the ice to strike the bottom of it before sinking back into the water, then repeats the process in a different place. Each time it strikes the ice a spiderweb of cracks form in the thin ice, making it quite dangerous to walk on. -------------------- @@Vaporeon, Nurse Joy smiles at Cilla and gestures towards one of the center's back rooms. "Why yes, we have a number of free rooms available, you can take any of them you'd like... We'll be having dinner soon as well, both for trainers staying here and their Pokemon, if you'd like to join us."

Mirage Mirage blinks a couple times as Bardic gives his name, before her smile comes back full force. "A storyteller? What a coincidence, I am a story collector..." She giggles quietly before adding "Zhough, not often stories zhat are commonly told..." She winks at the unicorn before taking a few steps away, brushing past Ambrosia as she does. "Tell me about yourself, if you wish to be of assistance, darling... It has veen a long while since I've seen another from our homeland. And never a unicorn, at zhat. Most curious..." Shrugging her shoulders, she glances over her shoulder when she realizes the others weren't following. "Well? You wanted to leave town, no? I do not intend to hold you up, we can speak and walk at zhe same time..." Again it would seem as though Mirage had invited herself along. The chains holding up her silks jingle slightly as a slight breeze blows over her, the mare cocking her head slightly to the side. "Zhough, speaking of which, where are we going? It does not matter to me, I have nowhere to ve..."

((Internet is finally back!)) Pavisa @, Pavisa stopped once she realized the music was mostly gone, sparing a moment to glance around before the hall started to fall down around them. Quickly starting to run for the exit again, she's dropped to the ground as a decent sized chunk of stone falls to strike her on the head. "Owww..." While it wouldn't have been a big deal had she still had her helmet, she was left dazed for a moment the way it was. She forces herself to stand back up, managing to open one eye. They other one had blood dripping over it at the moment, a decent sized gash next to her unwanted horn. Can't stop... This place is coming down... Can't die here, and if I die so does Orion... Shaking her head to try and keep herself aware of her surroundings, Pavisa starts to run for the exit again. She took the lingering presence of the sounds as a good sign... Either the music was still faintly there, or she was actually going crazy and she was imagining it. Either way it was keeping her conscious long enough to get to the exit, and hopefully safety. Zintiik @, Zintiik blinked and looked towards the ceiling as the dust started to come down, frowning as the others began taking off for the exit as fast as they could. "Oh, this is bad." He and Willow had fallen towards the back of the group while they'd been talking... But he had to get her out of there! "C'mon, we gotta move!" Without waiting for her response, or her consent to his actions, Zintiik had leaped into the air and started to buzz his wings quickly. Flying around behind Willow he starts pushing her towards the exit, trying to help her go faster than she'd be able to go normally. He wasn't strong enough to carry her all the way to the exit, otherwise he probably would be.

@@Vaporeon, Goomy winced as the Thunder Wave hit it, leaving it paralyzed, and then was struck by the Signal Beam. The Signal Beam knocks Goomy into the water, where it soon bobs floating to the surface... Seemingly no longer paralyzed, thanks to its Hydration ability. "Gooooo!" It seemed as though the Goomy thought this were a game of sorts, and it opened its mouth wide to shoot a hazy green Dragonbreath at Galvantula. --------------------- @@Leafeon,@@Sylveon, Seviper was caught completely by the unexpected attack pattern, his tail spike sinking deep into the ice as Axew struck it. Viro stamps one of her feet, though that causes her to start to lose her balance and start pinwheeling her arms to stay upright on the ice. "Heeeey, what gives!? Sevipy, don't take that! Flamethrower!" "SeeeeVIPER!" The serpent seems to swell up slightly before opening its mouth, a large blast of fire billowing out between its fangs. It starts sweeping the flamethrower about in front of it wildly. It was trying to hit the opposing Pokemon, but it also had one other effect... The ice under their feet was rapidly getting thinner. ---------------------- @, As Abigail approached the Trainer's School, it seemed like a class was getting ready to start. A number of young trainers were taking seats around an open field, though there was no sign of an instructor in sight. Suddenly a young woman would walk up behind Abigail and tap her on the shoulder. She had short, somewhat spiky red hair, though her bangs were dyed blue. There was also noticeable dark red eyeshadow around her eyes, and there was a silver Eevee riding on her shoulders. "Hey! Sorry to bug you, I noticed you had some Pokemon with you though. I'm supposed to be teaching a quick class for some of these kids... Would you mind having a battle with me?" "Eevee!" She blinks and glances at her Pokemon before smiling and turning back to Abigail. "Oh, right, my name's Rin. Sorry about that."

@@Leafeon, As the ground gave way to the crater, Lucario pulled Lurele down after him and quickly pushed her into the dirt. "Rio, would you chill!? We need to go back and help the others!" "Car!" Lucario holds a hand against his trainer's back, trying to keep her laying in the crater while staring at her, before slowly starting to get up and climb back out of the crater. "Rio, stop! I'm not letting you go alone-" Lucario pushes her down again, staring at her quietly. After staring at her Pokemon for a couple minutes, Lurele sighs and pulls him in for a hug. "...Damn it Rio, you had better be careful! If you're not back in two minutes I'm coming after you. Keep your distance, don't let them hit you, and most importantly get back to me safely. If anything were to happen to you... Rio, I wouldn't be able to live with myself." Her Pokemon smiles at Lurele reassuringly and places a hand on top of her head, the way she had so often done to him as a Riolu, before turning and leaping out of the crater to race back towards the others. @@Vaporeon,@@Sylveon, As Lucario started racing back towards where the others were, the fighting type's hand starts to glow before firing a Vacuum Wave towards the still-fighting Snover. Without waiting to see if the attack lands, the Pokemon turns to bark at Sasha and Purrl, gesturing towards the direction Tiana had fell. The fighting type starts searching for a way down the dune without falling the way Tiana had, trying to get to the shore to direct the other trainer back to where he'd left Lurele.

((Our Internet died, stuck with ugly mobile post for now)) Lurele gave a small sigh as the Murkrow fainted - finally a battle where they hadn't promptly gotten their butts kicked! She looks at Tiana's two Pokemon, about to try and figure out how to help when her Lucario grabs her arm and starts dragging her towards the ruins, and supposedly safety. "Ah! Rio, stop! The others!" "Lu!" Lucario doesn't stop, intent on keeping his trainer safe rather she wanted it or not. The woman had said kill, and those words were still fresh in his mind. There was no way he was letting his Lurele stay around there. Having a hard time resisting the evolved Pokemon's newfound strength, Lurele grits her teeth and calls back towards Sasha and Purrl. "I'm sorry! I... If you follow us, I'll help you find your trainer as soon as we get away from these freaks!" "Carr!" Lucario shouts back as he turns his head to stare at the two normal types, before nodding his head slightly in agreement to help as well... Once Lurele was out of danger, anyways. Without waiting for their answer he quickly starts dragging Lurele into the entrance of the ruins, past the strange statue, hoping to find somewhere they would be able to lie low for a bit.

Fizzle @@Midnight Scribbler, Fizzle had been watching out the window as the others spoke, her ear twitching now and then to show that she was still listening to the conversation but not wanting to interrupt as the older other ponies spoke. When it seemed like there was a lull in the conversation she turns her head to look at one of Sunset's candles, tilting her head a little. "...Does the smoke do anything?" The young mare lifts her gaze and smiles slightly, one of her ears twitching again. "Er... Ponies always take the smoke for granted. And a lot don't like it once they do notice it... It's always there though. I mean, wherever there's a fire."

@@Leafeon, @@Sylveon,@@Vaporeon, "Carr!" Lucario let go of Lurele's wrist to bring his arms in front of him and cross them to try and fend off Murkrow's wing attack. Before evolving the attack would have been much stronger against him, but now that he had a steel typing it offered him a measure of resistance to the flying Pokemon's attack. "Rio, use Force Palm!" "Lu!" With Murkrow striking Lucario with its wings, that meant it was within range of a physical counterattack. One of Lucario's hands starts to glow as he thrusts it towards Murkrow - and where Lucario's steel typing was offering it protection against the other Pokemon's attack, Murkrow's dark typing would hinder it against what would otherwise be an ineffective attack...

@@Leafeon,@@Sylveon,@@Vaporeon, "Ahhh-" Lurele flails her arms as she starts to fall the same way Tiana had, before a firm grasp around her wrist pulls her back to the top of the dune. Her Lucario had stopped her from falling, and was even now starting to drag her on towards the ruins. She vaguely heard Cilla's words as Lucario continued dragging his trainer to safety, the now-evolved Pokemon much stronger than he'd been before and actually able to drag Lurele along behind him for once. "I... Rio... But we should help..." "Carr!" Lurele spares a glance behind her as her Pokemon continues to race towards the ruins, and supposedly safety, dragging Lurele along behind him. As far as the overly protective Pokemon was concerned, keeping Lurele safe was his priority... The others could fend for themselves. Lurele was the one who mattered to him.

@@Vaporeon, Goomy watched as the confuse ray circled around it, grinning widely at the glowing light before being sucked into the Pokeball again. The ball shook once... twice... and then Goomy burst back out of it, sitting on the ground and gazing upwards at Sable. "Gooo?" ----------------- @@Leafeon,@@Sylveon, Seviper hissed at Axew in response to the Scary Face, before the wind began quickly picking up around it because of Dustox's Gust. "Seviper! Use your tail to stay anchored!" Hissing at both of the opposing Pokemon, Seviper slams its tail spike deep into the ice they were battling upon as the gust starts to lift it up. The gust did make Seviper's body push backwards, but its tail anchored in the ice stopped it from flying into Viro. "Alright, use Coil! And start to spin with the gust!" As though for emphasis, Viro starts to pirouette on the ice. "Sevvvviper!" The snake quickly starts to wrap in around itself, going in the direction of the wind initially. With little traction on the ice its inertia makes it start to spin with its tail as a pivot, the spinning picking up speed rather quickly. "Aaaaannnndddd releaaaassseeee.... NOW! Poison Tail!" As Viro shouts 'Now!' Seviper pulls its tail out of the ice, the spike on the end starting to glow with a sickly purple color as the spinning serpent begins sliding along the ice towards Axew and Dustox, bouncing and swerving on a somewhat uncontrolled path in the rather... Unusual attack pattern. ... Behind Viro, Altaria hits the ice knocked out while Emolga frantically tries to avoid Charizard's attacks. Yiree has sent out her Beartic to take Altaria's place, but it seems as though Clair has the upper hand.

@@Vaporeon,@@Leafeon,@@Sylveon, Lurele gave a small sigh of relief when Terrakion and Keldeo both fled, before grabbing her Lucario by the hand and running over to where Tiana and Cilla still were. She shakes her head when Tiana sends out her Pokemon, grabbing the other girl by the hand and rushing to try and do the same to Cilla, letting go of her Lucario and trusting him to stay close behind her. "Come on!" Her mind was back in Virbank when the man with the Weavile had nearly stolen her Pokemon... Something told her Stella wasn't going to show up again, and if these ones were as strong as he'd been, she didn't want to stick around to wait for it to happen again. "Let's get out of here, before they try to take your Pokemon again! We can hide out in the ruins while they're distracted!" As she tried to convince the other trainers to flee her Lucario did the same for their Pokemon, barking out and gesturing in the general direction of the ruins.

Mirage Smiling as the very stallion they had been searching for stood before them, Mirage's ears perked up as she stepped forward to stand next to Ambrosia. "Zhere you are! For one zhat stands out so much, you were surprisingly difficult zo find." Giggling quietly, Mirage slowly blinks her eyes before stepping forward towards Kazemde. "Why, it is almost a crime! To pique my interest and zhen vanish so suddenly..." Without waiting for any kind of invitation or permission she had reached out with one hoof to touch the stallion's shoulder, a sly grin crossing her muzzle behind her thin veil. "Vut now, zhat can be rectified! Where are we going, darling?" We - Mirage had invited herself along, it seemed. With the way she looks at Ambrosia and winks at the pegasus, it seemed she also intended for that to extend to her. Oh, this day has turned interesting so quickly! Not that every day isn't interesting, but this... Oh, this is going to be fun. These two, they both seem interesting... I can't wait to find out more! She lowers her hoof, though Mirage doesn't quite move to make the distance between her and Kazemde any less awkward. Well, not awkward for her, at least. A slight breeze causes her silks to flutter slightly as the mare cocks her head to the side, her smile never leaving her muzzle. "Oh, I should introduce myself, no? It is zhe polite zhing, yes?" Giggling quietly, Mirage bows her head slightly. "I am called Mirage..." She practically rolls her name off her lips as she says it, bringing a hoof up to hide her muzzle behind it.

@@Vaporeon, The Pokeball shook a couple of times before the Goomy popped back out, still seemingly oblivious to the chaos going on in the Den. "Goooooo!" The little pile of slime opens up its mouth with a big grin as it cries out, before hiccuping out a few bubbles. ---------------- @,@, @@Vaporeon, Falkner rubs the back of his neck and points towards an elevator that would take them to the bottom floor of the gym. "You can get out that way, and the quickest way to Ecruteak is to leave town and go west... But... Listen, don't rush off too fast, alright? That guy was tough, if you run into more like him on the road right now, it might not end so greatly... It's getting late, you could rest here at the Violet Pokemon Center and leave in the morning. Spend the rest of the evening training... Check out the Trainer's School, or stick around and try for my badge or something." The young gym leader shrugs and lets his hands drop. "Not saying you have to, just my advice... And traveling at night probably isn't the best idea." -------------------- @@Sylveon,@@Leafeon, ( @@Glaceon,@@Aerodynas, ) Thankfully for Chatot the redirected Thunder had missed, as the move wasn't accurate in the first place, but it did cause the flying Pokemon to turn around. Emolga starts to glow as it flies towards the trainers at the entrance, as though preparing for another attack, when - "Dragon Claw!" A rush of orange flies into the entrance of the Den before striking the little flying rodent, knocking Emolga backwards. Clair jumps off of the Charizard's back to land on one of the stone ledges around the outside of the Den. She looks at a couple of the young Blackthorn trainers and nods towards the door, both trainers running out to spread the alarm before turning her attention back to the situation at hand. The Blackthorn Gym Leader crosses her arms across her chest as an amulet around her neck starts to glow. Her Charizard begins to glow as well before suddenly growing larger, its orange skin turning black as blue fire starts to billow from its mouth. Charizard had mega evolved! "Damn," Yiree mutters as she looks up towards Clair. "I'll handle Clair, Viro, deal with the other pests." "Right!" Altaria and Emolga start to circle around Charizard, though the now-dragon fire Pokemon quickly darts forward to slam a fist into Altaria. While they continue to battle, Viro turns back around to Stella and Muna. "Oh hey, it's you guys again! Did you want to play some more? I'll try not to go so crazy this time!" The purple haired girl giggles as she tosses out a Pokeball, a flash of light accompanying a Seviper landing on the ice in between them.

((Still mobile posting)) Lurele gasped to catch her breath as Dragonair's hold loosened, watching as events unfolded around her. Her eyes widened at the sight of Lucario, wondering where it had come from before seeing the familiar red scarf tied around his left arm. "Rio..?" Picking herself back up, Lurele started taking in everything as quickly as she could. She saw the woman who had just taken Tiana's Pokeballs and her eyes widened. Familiar outfit, taking someone else's Pokemon... Stella's words came back to her. 'Based on the way he was dressed, a follower of Kyurum...' Gritting her teeth as she gets back up, she glances at Terrakion who had been fighting to protect her. "Terrakion, you need to get out of here! Run! These people are bad! And... Thank you." After saying that she raced to her Lucario's side, helping him up. "Rio, are you okay?" Lucario grunted in response as he stood upright, looking at Lurele with worry. Lurele grins at him and points at the woman who had taken Tiana's Pokemon... And her Dragonair. "Think you're up for a battle, bud? They nearly took you from me, we can't let them do the same to someone else!" "Carrrr!" Lucario slams one of his fists into his other palm, and Lurele grins and points at the Dragonair. "Alright! Metal Claw!" Lucario starts rushing towards the dragon type, Lurele moving after him to try and get out of the crossfire between Terrakion and Keldeo. As Lucario got almost to Dragonair, Lurele called out a new command. "Vacuum Wave on the woman!" "Car!" Suddenly Lucario would extend an arm past Dragonair to fire a rapidly moving wave of compressed air towards the woman who had taken Tiana's Pokemon, trying to make her drop the stolen Pokeballs if nothing else.

((Mobile post, can't color or mention or anything.)) "Ah-hnng!" Lurele's cry was cut short as the Dragonair wrapped around her, squirming ineffectually to try and make it stop crushing her. "Ri-ri!" Her Riolu cried out as he saw Lurele in danger, the small Pokemon quickly darting forward. While he did want to help Tiana, she wasn't as important as his Lurele. The little fighting Pokemon slid underneath one of the cars to get closer to the battlefield. It didnt matter to Riolu then that he was rushing head first into a battle with a dragon and potentially two legendary Pokemon... All he was focused on was trying to rescue his trainer that he'd spent the bulk if his life with. The little Riolu starts to glow white as he launches himself towards the Dragonair. "LUCARIO!" As the fighting type lands on the dragon the evolution completes, the now-larger Lucario glaring defiantly at Dragonair as one of the spikes on the back of his hands begins to glow. The glowing spike would briefly extend forward into the shape of a pair of claws before Lucario attempts to thrust it into the Dragonair's coils to attempt and loosen its hold on Lurele. ((He's replaced Endure with Metal Claw))
