Thomas would continue to make his way down the Jagged Pass, now with far more purpose than before. The trainer wouldn't get too far before something leaped out at him. A Pignite would leap down towards the human, attempting to use Heat Crash to pulverize the Kalosian. Thomas quickly ran back, and rolled clear of the attack. Thomas would turn to face the Pignite, who gave him a vicious look.

Thomas quickly called out his Flygon, Kiryu. "Kiryu, Dig!", ordered Thomas.

The Flygon nodded to his trainer, diving and burrowing himself underground rather quickly. The Pignite wasted no time in continuing his assault on the human, attempting to roast him alive with a Flamethrower. Thomas would strafe to the side quickly to avoid the jet of fire coming his way. The trainer could feel the heat of the blast of fire on his side. Thomas carefully moved so he wouldn't back himself into a corner.

Once the Pignite was forced to take a break from attempting to breath fire onto the human, Kiryu would emerge right below the bipedal swine. First, the ascent of the Flygon would send the creature flying up into the air. Kiryu would then follow this up by ascending quickly into the air, right above the Pignite, and forcefully slamming it into the ground below them.

The Pignite could only let out a pained groan before he passed out from the attack. Kiryu would look back to his master, who gave him an approving grin and a thumbs up. "Good work, Kiryu!", Thomas said, recalling the Flygon to his Pokeball, before moving onto the final stretch of the Jaggied Pass.

While he could've had Kiryu fly him down the terrain, instead of continuing his descent on foot, Thomas was almost to Lavaridge anyway, so such a use of his Flygon would feel excessive. Besides, Brutus' condition was not so bad that it required him to get down to the Lavaridge PokeCenter that fast.

As Thomas came upon the last stetch of the Jagged Pass, he would spot something laying on the ground. As he got closer, he would see that the yellow figure was a sickly-looking Kadabra. The Psychic-type seemed to be in awful shape, clutching its stomach in pain, its breathing labored as it shivered on the craggy ground. Thomas walked around the creature to see if he could get a look at its front side. Indeed, the Kadabra, marked out as a male by the length of its whiskers, seemed to be Poisoned, and overall in bad shape.

Earlier, the Kadabra had gotten into a fight with a Toxicroak. Cocky about his chances, the Kadabra allowed the Toxicroak to get in one hit, before he blew it away with a Psychic. Unfortunately, the Sludge Bomb that had landed on it managed to Poison him, and it would last in his system far longer than his use of Recover could effectively stall it out, leaving him unable to muster up any further attempts at self-healing, and with the persistent poison ebbing away at him.

Thomas sighed, and fished through where he kept his medicine stored. And indeed, he had some Antidote on his person. Thomas looked back down at the Kadabra for a moment, who looked up at him with pleading eyes. Thomas would send out Ripper the Scizor from his Pokeball, as insurance. After the last two Pokemon attacked him on sight, he wasn't going to take the chance of being a retelling of the Farmer and the Seviper.

Thomas would give the Antidote to the ailing Kadabra, helping the ailing Psychic-type to ingest the medicine. After a moment, the medicine started to kick in, and the Kadabra would breath a sigh of relief. He would then collapse to the ground again, the poisoning from earlier still having taken its toll on him.

The Kalosian knew that even with the poisoning being treated, the Kadabra, in his state, was still a sitting Ducklett, that any Pokemon looking for easy prey would simply finish him off.

"If you come with me, I can get you some proper treatment, and a good home.", Thomas told the Kadabra, who looked up at him, and up to the lumbering Scizor. Indeed, the insect seemed to be very strong, very well taken care of. Before he could move his head to give a response, the Kadabra seemed to pass out. Thomas took a Pokeball, and tapped him with it, hoping he wouldn't wake up and decide against his offer.

After all, a Kadabra would be of use to someone like him.
