Miraculously, it begins to HAIL. Naturally, Beartic takes advantage of this immediately. The momma bear uses her speed and agility, doubled now in the hail and snow, to scoop Teddiursa up off of the ground and into her loving arms. She returns to Remi's side, dropping the child at her feet, before turning her sights on the shadow that races into sight.

Although the Pangoro does not, by any means, need help from a woman, the Beartic does still have an untapped BIDE resting in her jittery muscles. With her SLUSH RUSH speed, it was very nearly the perfect opportunity for her to intercept and make it happen.

Pangoro helps by taking the brunt of the DRAGON CLAW with his own HAMMER ARM, hopefully stalling and holding the Garchomp long enough for Beartic to unleash all-out war.

And, while she's letting loose her BIDE, she is fully prepared to lower the temperature of the area even further with a BLIZZARD. With a whombo combo, Remi sidles closer to the bears for protection so as to not get too far away. Eyes watch her and Teddiursa from all angles, and the last thing she needed was to get separated and caught with her pants down.

"Bane, look up!"

Now, whether or not the Garchomp was down for the count with the total thrashing coming its way, he does lunge forward in preparation for the inevitable. He aims to VITAL THROW the Garchomp into whoever is approaching next.

Fear fixes itself upon her face momentarily. She is stunned into silence, watching wide-eyed in horror as the monster from the sand veil shows itself. Although her bear companions are efficient in clearing him out of the way, the Garchomp has a lasting, bone-chilling effect on the woman. Her eye and cheek ache with the reminder.

But with their attention solely on the Garchomp and the distance between them and the wandering little angel, it is nearly inevitable what comes next. They aren't close enough to react, not close enough to act as physical barriers. The THUNDER strikes the waiting FLOWER SHIELD. It also makes the baby bear cry.

That in and of itself is enough to enrage the both of them as they come barrelling back to protect their child. On the off chance it breaks any rules, Pangoro and Beartic each take one arm of the Teddiursa to swing her forward while they run. There is urgency both in the voice over the intercom and in the sunny day that dissipates the hail. Remi hurries to keep up as well, keeping her eyes peeled for more attackers.

"Keep moving! Don't stop for anything, just prepare yourselves. We're almost to the end, I can taste it."

And by that she means a stiff drink and a cigarette.

Beartic prepares another BIDE, fully prepared to put herself in harms way again to act as a body shield. Pangoro does the same by sending out a PARTING SHOT as a warning.

The 'president' begins to giggle loudly and profusely. Her laughter comes from the belly as she is swung backward and forward with the rhythm of her elder's swing of their arms. It feels like she is flying, or on a fast-moving, on-the-go swing.

Naturally, because they have a fight incoming once more, the two bears set the Teddiursa down and usher the child forward. They keep moving, but prepare for the worst. Their little dead sprint seems to have quelled the fears and the tears fromt he Teddiursa, and she continues to bat and play with the pretty new flower shield on her arm.

But Remi notices something that perhaps her own Pokemon don't. The LIGHT SCREEN that erects feels too obvious. It feels like it should be the right direction, the next target, but--

"Bane, don't fall for the light screen. I think this might be like that battle in the art gallery-- a distraction. Remember when the Ninetales purposely missed you with that solar beam and then hit you with the flamethrower instead? I think it's that. We ignore it, there's something else coming."

And, sure enough..

"Move!"

They're forced to pick up the pace again, and quickly. The LIGHT SCREEN abandoned as a semi-obvious distraction, the bears hover overtop of the racing Teddiursa. The little bear gasps and pants, little feet pounding against the ground as she weaves in and out of falling branches. Her small size lends to her speed and agility, while the two older bears HAMMER ARM and THRASH their way through to keep the trees from crushing their president.

"I see the other side! Just a bit further, and the falling trees won't be able to reach us."
