A few Wooloo found themselves floating in the air, lifted by nothing more than the psychic energy of a single Pokemon - a Beheeyem. He had one hand in the air, focusing his psychic energy on the happily-bleating freshly-sheared horde, while he held another Wooloo under his arm, close to his chest. There was a slight tinge of red to his cheeks.

He was clearly enjoying his time here, protecting the sheep.

A much-more attentive Drampa was keeping an eye on the rest of the herd, using his height to get a good vantage point. Though he was also relaxing, his trainer lying by his side. No reason he couldn’t let his trainer relax while he did the work - not much Hideo could do to spot any intruders.

Didn’t help that Hideo was fairly popular among the Wooloo as well, a decent number lying by him as well; Hideo was distracted playing with them. And the Drampa had no intention of interrupting him.

The Drampa at least had help in that Hideo wasn’t the only trainer here today.

Hideo was interrupted from his head-scratching when he heard a familiar voice address him. “Oh, hey Arashi!” he shouted back, raising a hand to wave. “Didn’t know you’d be here too!” The small pile of sheared sheep surrounding him scattered in different directions, though they’d eventually reconvene with the group the Beheeyem was playing with.

Hideo didn’t stand, but he did look towards where he heard Arashi’s voice. His Drampa took a quick look at Arashi as well, but returned to his vigil immediately after a glance. “It would be a nice place to nap, but I’m here to help keep an eye on the sheep.”

A brief pause, to tell if Arashi got the joke.

“Would’a brought my Lycanroc to help out, but uh, we’re trying to keep wolves away from sheep.” A shame too, because Rocky would’ve been great at sniffing out any Wooloo-waylayers. And they didn’t want to teach these Wooloo to be friendly with any new wolf. “So I brought my Beheeyem and Drampa along. Gramps here is doing pretty good keeping watch, and I think Elga really likes playing with the Wooloo.”

A brief look would show that there were now a number of Wooloo orbiting around the floating Beheeyem, whose rosy cheeks intensified in color - and he still had another Wooloo held close to him.

“I take it you’re here to keep them safe too? Doubt they’d just have one person keeping watch with all these Wooloo.”

Hideo grinned; Arashi caught it.

But the amusement could only last for so long; right as Hideo was ready to fill the silence, he felt his Drampa shift, the large dragon having spotted the interlopers. It became very clear to Hideo what was happening when he heard that howl.

“Sounds like what we’re here for just arrived,” Hideo said, his Drampa gently nudging him off before flying into the sky. “Get’em good, Gramps!”

He raised his voice, so his Beheeyem would hear; “And keep’em safe, Elga! Stay nice and close to them!”

The Drampa was quick to get in the way of the incoming wolves, physically blocking them from the Wooloo as he fired several Razor Winds to repel them. The Beheeyem, meanwhile, lowered the Wooloo he was revolving, focusing the majority of his psychic energy on throwing away any wolves that got too close.

He was still holding on to one Wooloo though.

Hideo himself would be content with his seat; it was a comfy spot, and it wasn’t like there was much he could do himself in this case. Plus, if things started getting rough, he could trust Arashi or his Beheeyem to fill him in.

Hideo could hear something approaching, but it wasn't until Arashi told him what it was that he realized he should prepare for it. "Oh," he muttered, standing up as the wooly horde reached them.

Just in time for one to roll right into him and knock him down. "Oof!" he exclaimed, thankfully having a soft landing, though he was quickly surrounded by a lot of Wooloo. He wasn't being crushed by the fluffy horde, but he was struggling to find space to sit back up.

Feeling the Golurk's Earthquake start, the Drampa floated up, letting the Lycanrocs deal with it themselves. He added in his own Hyper Voice, repelling a number of wolves that preferred to keep their sense of hearing.

The Beheeyem was disappointed by the loss of most of his Wooloo horde, the rosy tint to his cheeks fading away, but he could still take comfort in the one he was still physically holding. None of the Lycanrocs could jump high enough to reach him, and the Beheeyem even use a few Rock Tombs to keep them back.

A thumbs-up shot up from the Wooloo horde. "I'm alright!" Hideo shouted, still unable to escape the thickening mass of wool. "It sounds like things are under control!" What little he could hear under the bleating mass, anyways.

A few more Razor Winds flew from the Drampa, repelling more of the Lycanroc. Even as the Golurk pulled around to catch some of the more clrver Lycanroc, the Drampa kept up the pressure. And steadily the Lycanroc were beginning to give up on their hunt, retreating back across the fields.

The ones harassing the Beheeyem similarly gave up, in part due to it being high up to even reach. Elga gently floated towards the main group of Wooloo - finally relinquishing the one he'd been holding on to the whole time.

He looked over the horde, noticing his trainer's raised hand. Carefully, he Psychically parted the Wooloo, trying to give Arashi an opening to get Hideo up.
