"I will!" Penalopy's voice chimed through the air, but she stayed hidden. There wasn't much she enjoyed more than watching humans in their natural habitat doing human things. She was fairly sure she understood humand better than any of the other legendary Pokémon, who stayed away from the human world as much as possible. Such a shame, as there was so much beauty to be found here.
Mindy browsed a rack with small tools and thought about what she could use for her outdoor life. And what things would be useful to Gavin, she wanted to buy something for him, something small. A useful present, as he didn't seem like a guy wanting things without purpose.
The fireball hit the Dunsparce who unrolled as it flew through the air and it crashed into the ground.
"Oh no!" Whitney exclaimed. "Return Dunsparce, and Eevee: Quick Attack that... Pokémon." She realized she didn't know what Pokémon Sparky really was, but it didn't matter. "Come to the field, Tauros!"
As the Eevee started her Quick Attack, the Tauros materialized on the field. "Horn Attack on the Fletchling!"
"What?" Michael said as he saw the Tauros charge to the small Fletchling. "Anthony! Fly away!"
Anthony frantically flapped his wings to get away from the large Pokémon, but after attacking the Eevee he was close to the ground and couldn't get high enough fast enough. When he was hit by the horn he was smacked into the ground.
"Return," he said, aiming the Pokéball at his Fletchling. "You're up Missy. Use your..." he paused as he thought back to the battles he had seen her do, what moves did she know? "Use Bite!"
Saruya used her agility to get to Arisa's side and then used Take Down on her, hitting her with all her strength. It hurt her too, but she had enough strength to take it. She panted, but readied another move. Reversal, a move of which she had learned got stronger the weaker she felt. All she had to do was remain on her paws if Arisa would hit her with an attack and then she'd show that Mighyena what pain really was.
Kim nodded as the two explained how it all worked. It made sense and she was glad for Michael, but that also meant Niccia had some difficult decisions to make. It would still not be easy for both of them.
Suddenly she felt a hand on her head and looked up.
"Such a serious discussion," Andy said with a kind voice, having no idea what they had been talking about, but he recognised the look on his Furret's face. "There is nothing in the headlines about that excavation or that area," he told her, "except for the mention that one of the archaeologists went missing."
