As Thomas walked along the path, a purple creature would drop down from above. The Ambipom would stare at the human, who backed up a little to give the creature room. Despite his attempt at giving the creature room, the Ambipom still got into a combat stance. Her tails would raise up, threatening to attack the human directly, if he didn't bring out one of his Pokemon to mount a defense.

Thomas would do just that, quickly unleashing Brutus the Pangoro from his Pokeball. The Pangoro would step forward, assuming a fighting stance. The Ambipom wasted no time in mounting her offensive, lunging at the Pangoro, swiping her tails at him consecutively. Thanks to the sprig leaf, he was able to dodge the first two swipes, before the third managed to catch him, followed by two more. The Pangoro let out an angry, defiant growl at the Ambipom.

"Drain Punch!", called out Thomas.

The Pangoro would cock his fist back, and swing at the Ambipom. The purple monkey managed to dodge the attack with ease, using her tails to deftly maneuver herself out of the way of the attack. She would follow up on this by attempting to deal a Dual Chop to the legs of the large panda. Brutus was able to deftly step out of the first strike, before deflecting the second chop with a Bullet Punch. He would then step forward, lunging in for a Drain Punch once again. This time, it managed to strike the Ambipom square in the head.

The Ambipom would let out a pained groan, as she fell limp to the ground. Her life force would end up being drained by the Pangoro, restoring his own vitality in the process.

"You okay, Brutus?", Thomas asked the Pangoro, who gave him a thumbs up in response.

As the rain would begin to pour down the area, Thomas pulled the hood of his coat over his head. Brutus could only groan as the rain began to fall harder over the area. Thomas quickly offered him the chance to go back into his Pokeball while he made his way back to Lilycove. Though hesitant at first, the Pangoro finally relented, allowing himself to get sucked back into the device, before Thomas hurried along towards Lilycove.

On the way over, he would spot an Eevee struggling to stay afloat in a lake. Seeing as the Eevee was too far away from the shoreline to make it, and with the way the rain was raging on, Thomas figured it was time to take action. The trainer would send out Colt the Clawitzer, deploying him in the water. "Colt, scoop up that Eevee, and bring it here!", Thomas called out urgently. The Clawitzer sighed, and would propel himself to the direction Thomas pointed in by way of Aqua Jet.

Just as the Eevee had tired himself out struggling, he would find himself being scooped up whole by a pincer, before the wielder of the large claw propelled himself back in the direction he came from. It was at this point that the Eevee blacked out, no longer having any fight in him left.

Thankfully, as the Clawitzer reached the water's edge, where his master was waiting, the Eevee would be released on grassy land. Thomas went to check on the creature, noticing it wasn't breathing. Immediately, he would begin to pick the creature up by its hind legs, letting the water drain out of its little lungs. Thomas would give the unconscious creature a few downward shakes, in order to help the process along. Finally, the Eevee would begin to cough out the last of the water, breathing again.

Thomas immediately put down the wet, brown creature, being gentle as he did so. The Eevee would look up at the trainer, as well as the Clawitzer who saved him from death. Thomas would slowly pull out a berry from his bag, offering it to the Eevee. The brown-furred creature would sniff at the berry, before accepting it. Though he could feel himself being charged with a little energy, it was far from enough to constitute a recovery from what he had been through.

"If you want, little one, you can join us. We'll help you make a recovery, and we'll keep you safe. What do you say?", Thomas asked the Eevee. The trainer held out a Pokeball for the Eevee, letting the adorable critter make the decision himself.
