It seemed that Rodent would have little trouble finding a rodent to pester. The Magnezone emitted a series of rapid beeps that indicated excitement, swooping over to a metal box that had a Minun climbing it. 

While the Minun was originally startled and probably a little confused, it quickly warmed up to the newcomer. Squeaking happily, the Minun clambered aboard, resting on the Magnezone's huge steel body. However, Stratus, who was already there, did not seem to take kindly to this, chattering and knocking the Minun to the floor with an Acrobatics.

The Minun was understandably startled, chittering angrily after it recovered from the fall. Concentrating, the Minun brought down a huge bolt of electricity from above in what was unmistakably a Thunder, striking Stratus and Rodent directly. Rodent flinched, but shrugged off the attack. Stratus was less happy, screaming in pain and surprise.

Ethel didn't want the situation to get any worse than it already was, so she stepped in. "Hey," she said to the Minun, recalling Stratus. Rodent had recovered from the surprise and drifted closer to the wild Minun. "Sorry about Stratus, he gets grumpy sometimes. You want to join us?"

The Minun squeaked happily and leaped atop Rodent's back once more, and Ethel smiled as she pushed the empty Pokeball's button.
