Just as Sebastian was about to pick up the pace, he was caught off guard by the visual of a bouffalant charging straight at him. His body reclined yet froze like a deer in headlights, a leg and an arm raised defensively as if his tender form could do anything to resist the full force of the charging bovine.

Thankfully, the bouffalant would stop itself with what was clearly no intent to harm Sebastian. It actually appeared to be be in need of assistance, and some quick mathematics would bring him to the conclusion that whatever he was chasing must have had a human in tow. Sebastian mounted the bouffalant, and braced himself as it galloped back towards the renegade blur. It did not take long for him to regain sight of his golbat and the white mass of frost and fur.

"Ah? Sona, haze it!"

The golbat inhaled, her body arching back in an almost comical fashion before threw her upper weight forward to expel a murky mass from her oversized mouth. While the move would do nothing to harm the abomasnow, Sebastian figured it might anger the pokemon enough for it to engage them in a fight.

The abomasnow bit back with a glittering gale that surely would have brought harm to the golbat, but Sebastian had raised Sona to go at any performance from multiple angles. Sona had been circling the white beast, and swooped in for a stealthy strike the moment she saw the trajectory of the icy wind.

The yeti would realize it had missed its mark once it felt four fangs burrow into its lower back. It attempted to retaliate with the wood hammer, but found it rather difficult to reach the winged menace. Sona, clever girl that she was, began to assault the abomasnow's vitality with a leech life in hopes of slowing down.

"Clear the stage, Sona!" he called, causing the golbat to violently flap its appendages in a wing attack. The attack wasn't directed at the abomasnow, and was actually intended to clear the haze, but the impact of the wings against the sides of the abominable snowman should have further worsened its condition.

By now the red-haired trainer had dismounted its taurine comrade and seized one of the spheres in his pocket, loosing an eager weavile.

"Okay, Noir, get in there and wait for your chance to strike." The dark humanoid nodded in response, its figure disappearing into the foliage of the surrounding trees while awaiting the aforementioned opportunity.

Some good had come out of the performance, as the feral youth had managed to scurry away from harm's way. Now that he did not have to worry about the abomasnow's parcel, Sebastian resolved to adjust his tactics in favor of being more aggressive.

"Fall back and sing, Sona! Noir, dance!" he bellowed, causing the golbat to finally unhinge her jaw. Sebastian could see it was readying another strike, but he had confidence that his pokemon would move fast enough to keep them from harm.

Sona expanded her wings, floating like a kite on the air currents as she sang a supersonic at the abomasnow. The weavile would dance its way to the front of the frenzied snowman, his agility lining his path with ghosts of himself while blurring each of his steps. The blanched bipedal beast showed a proud smirk, swinging down on the image before it with its ice punch, only to find that it had targetted a ghost.

Noir would reveal its position behind the abomasnow with a feint attack, culminating its dance with a punch to the back of the renegade pokemon's neck. The weavile then retreated just out of arms reach, focusing cold air between its palms as it readied an ice shard.

"It shouldn't have much fight left in it," commented Sebastian as he looked to Noah. "You wanna take a shot at catchin' it? I'm sure it'll behave for you~!"

The machamp's powerful upheaval of the snow-covered menace invited respect for its classification as the superpower pokemon. Although the moment that followed was an ideal opportunity to have Noir end the menace, Sebastian decided to follow up with a curveball pitch.

The sphere curled through the air, hitting the abomasnow in the face and recoiling a few inches before its movement halted mid-air to bathe the worn-down menace in light.

"We work hard to entertain! I'm Sebastian Armada. Your pokemon are pretty fit! Are you also performers?" He offered a smile, keeping an ear open as he turned his gaze back to the pokeball in hopes of a successful catch.
