[Action for Violet City outskirts, mainly directed at Kuja]
[It's a rather normal day for Ritz and her team, the watching pokemon giving them the creeps aside. Ritz is trying to get Mathis, the newest addition to her team, to play nicely with her, and it does help that the serious Houndour sees a mostly-kindred spirit in his trainer. She's doing her best to avoid the ghosts and dark-types that have invaded Violet and work on training her team to battle Falkner.]
Madeline, just because you don't feel like leaving my shoulder doesn't mean I'm going to let you stay there. I know it's day and I'm a terrible human being but you're going to have to deal with it- it'll probably be day when we fight Falkner, too!
[That gets a very disgruntled noise from the poison bat, who has been very rudely evicted from Ritz's shoulder. The bat finds a target.]
Huh, I've never seen one of those before... [Ritz pulls out her pokedex, and lo and behold, it's a Shedinja!] ...That's bad news. Guys, let's go find somewhere else to train, I don't want to mess with that.
[Ritz is turning to leave as Mathis growls and barks at the ghost-bug- he's taken a rather sharp dislike to it, it seems. Ritz is turning to snap at him, except the comment never comes. Instead, Ritz crumples into unconsciousness, prompting her assembled team to try waking her up. Brenda is even trying to pick her trainer up before abandoning that idea to chase Madeline.
The Zubat has decided to take to the air to find Kuja, and the white-haired man will find three-fourths of the team going for him- Brenda has decided that running on the ground like a giant metal chocobo will get her there faster, and she has a very distressed Andre in her beak. That's the only reason Kuja is getting greeted with a very distressed "KARP KARP KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP!!!!" instead of full-on yelling from a bird taller than her trainer. The frantic circling of the poison bat probably only adds to that image.
Mathis is curled up around Ritz's body as best as he can, whining deep in his throat and occasionally nudging her. Whoops, he's put together that this wouldn't have happened but for him.]
