Nenet heard the bear well before she saw it, her Lunatone's Future Sight bringing with it the ill-omened sounds of the lurking beast. It looks like an Ursaluna, only done up wrong and much, much larger than she could have ever hoped to guess.
[break][break]
The beast hauls further into the swamp, the body-filled waters churning with its movements and eerily similar to what she heard via the Future Sight.
[break][break]
Nenet doesn't want to follow it, much less be here anymore, and she stares at the disappearing brute; several trainers around her order an attack. She stays at the back of the pack so to speak, her booted feet standing just on the edge of where the water meets the swampy, muddy land.
[break][break]
A hero emerges via Aurelie, and Nenet waves to join the woman on her Milotic. No sense in wading through disease-infested waters if possible. "I'll take you up on that if you don't mind," she says to Aurelie, a warm smile flashed to the woman for her offering. "I'd rather stay out of the water if possible."
[break][break]
Chaos abruptly breaks out, and Nenet once more wishes she was anywhere else but here.

NOTES


- Bad noises happening via Future Sight my guys.[break]
- Takes up on the ride. No icky water wading for these refined ladies.[break]
- Nenet's Lunatone moves closer to her while everyone around them starts attacking the Ursaluna and such.

"There's something not right."

Camellia was right, there was something eerie and unsettling ever since they had stepped foot in this swamp. Their presence had been exposed from their arrival, like prey being ushered into a corner by a hunter monitoring their every move. Whatever it was it was biding it's time, waiting for the most opportune moment to strike...[break][break]

"I'm going to check out what her Pokémon found. Stick close," Camellia said with a quick glance back towards Victoria. Tori nodded and tagged along with Osiris bringing up the rear. As the small party neared those 'leg' investigators she felt the Jackal beside her bristle as a low guttural growl escaped from his maw. [break][break]

"Oz?" she questioned as she turned back towards him to question his actions. But soon she felt it too, the presence she had been sensing this entire time was near. Whipping around she spied the big burly bear with its matted fur and eerily green hue emitting from the Ursaluna. Her frown deepened as she watched as it clawed and ripped up the earth as if it was digging up treasure.[break][break]

Quick glances towards the investigators around her allowed Tori to see there were a lot more folks ready to go toe-to-toe with chaos as they rushed the Blood Moon Ursaluna in it's own territory. Taken by surprise the beast would reel, pivoting to see the approaching parties before charging towards the center of the swamp. [break][break]

Each bounding step from the beast shook the very muddied ground beneath their feet, but above all brought attention to the floating corpses around the camp. Though nervous a smile formed on her lips, though would be hidden by her mask. This was what they were after? She'd never seen something like this, but it was just like Hoenn to always keep her on her toes. [break][break]

"shall we?” Came Lulu's voice as she gestured towards joining the other's in battling the beast. After all, that was what they had all come here for. "Of course." was Tori's reply as she glanced at their target. "Oz rest for a bit, I'll call you soon." she said as she swapped her Lucario out for her Phione, Nereid. [break][break]

"Neri!" Tori called out to the newest addition to her team. It yawned, seemly having been disturbed from it's rest with this summon. "This is no time to be tired, we gotta get to work." With a huff, Neri didn't seem too pleased to be swimming in contaminated waters but it would do what it's trainer wished for it to do. With another grimace it prepped itself before DIVING down into the swamps depths.[break][break]

Bad Moon Rising



This isn't the work of the Skeleton, then. Was he supposed to be relieved, or disappointed? If it had been involved in this, there would probably be a great deal more bodies. But if it had been involved in this, then…[break][break]

Then what? Then nothing. His fingers flicked furiously through the camera, washing out the current of his thoughts.[break][break]

"Wait, what the—" Something in the deleted folder. …Dead people don't take photos of their own bodies, and they especially don't erase them afterwards. And a bear can't use a camera, so a human, or something close enough, had to be involved somehow.[break][break]

Alba walked on auto-pilot as he thought: But why take the picture in the first place? Why delete it afterwards? Why leave it lying about the swamp for anyone to find? Had they even meant to take it? If there were aliens involved, like thought, maybe they didn't know how to use the camer—[break][break]

Ah.[break][break]

It was the stench that hit the scientist first. Blood and mud, cloying together to form a miasma that left the taste of iron on the tongue. Then came the bodies, like rafts on the water, and whatever abstraction that was happening in his mind condensed into cold reality. There were the married couple, but he'd already seen their lifeless eyes. But ten others…[break][break]

Then came the bear, and Alba's strands of thought tore themselves away from what were once people, into something more alive.[break][break]

"What are you, I wonder…" Galvantula returned to its Poké Ball, exchanged for his Ditto. With a point of his finger, the bundle of potential fixed its eyes on the Ursaluna, trying to morph into its mirror image.

Upon further investigation, alongside a young-looking girl she'd never met, Camellia noticed that the leg was gnarled, missing chunks here and there. "Food? Or a blood thirsty predator?"[break][break]

It looked disgusting, to say the least, rotting away in the mire. Maggots were probably infesting it, and she had to thank whatever gods above that she couldn't smell a reeking stench.[break][break]

Camellia stepped away, heading back toward . However, as she approached her colleague — friend — a looming figure took her by surprise.[break][break]

A bear, similar to that of an URSALUNA. However, a scarlet circle lined its forehead. "I think our culprit has come to play."[break][break]

Her SIGILYPH let out a bird-like call, holding the LIGHT SCREEN to protect the group around her. She prepared for an attack...[break][break]

But it took off in a more central location.[break][break]

"Let's go," she answered .

Breathing hitches finally the moment they enter the scene. A massive, hulking Ursaluna. Its forehead was marked in that of a blood moon. The closer they get, the more terrifying it looks, and Genny can feel her heart pounding in her ear. The look of the bear itself... as it carves arcs into the dirt, it turns around.[break][break]

And Genny, for a moment, holds her breath. Holding 's arm with a tiny tremble, she watches it huff and run.[break][break]

And then she lets the breath go. "Izzy... I'm gonna check the body, okay?"[break][break]

Letting go and skating by the body, she moves to knees next to , looking over the corpse. "Okay, uh... cause of death." has her Comfey pull out the body, and she moves to look over the body itself, assisting to clean things up.[break][break]

Genny moves to assist in cleaning the corpse, and searches the body for any identifying signifiers. Any name, and trying to discover time of death. Frosty is ready to go the moment he has the chance.[break][break]

's retort would make El blink - a brief hue of surprise and bewilderment crossing their expression. On one hand, being called a 'shortcake' was certainly new - sure, they were small as a kid, but by now they had quickly filled out to a height that was actually above-average, at 5'9''! But on the other hand, the phrasing that Temp used - that Isaac was the one who 'broke his heart' - painted a very different picture than what he might have intended.

( 's quip didn't exactly help in matters.)

And perhaps , too, would realize this - because as El glanced to him, it was clear to see that the gears in their head were turning, their expression one of sympathy. They had thought that - in leaving Rocket - Isaac had to break up with not one, but two people. (Which they had figured it to be a polyamorous relationship. Because if they recalled correctly, Temp had a husband.)

The little nod that gives as they speak to her is definitely a bit less shy than their prior interaction in Ultra Deep Sea - but she does still seem, well, shy.

The shiver from approaching the swamp, however, is a bit of a concern. "You alright?" El asks, trying to offer her a reassuring smile. "Chasing down a big wild pokemon can be scary - but you're not alone here." They didn't doubt her ability to look after herself, after the fight in Ultra Deep Sea and the fact that she's still kicking even now. But at the same time, they at least wanted her to know she had backup if things did go awry.

"Lemme know if you wanna hitch a ride with any of my pokemon." They'd pat their Torterra's shell, to indicate her. Trying to wade through the swamp on foot - even if doable - probably wouldn't be pleasant for someone so small.

But then came the sighting of a strange Ursaluna - one that was unearthing a corpse. But almost as soon as it notices the group, it runs off - deeper into the murk of the swamp. As wonders whether it's scared of them, El mentions "It's possible... We are, uhm, a lot of people, with a lot of pokemon."

Even if this Ursaluna had started looking at human beings as prey, that didn't mean it wouldn't consider risk and reward. Charging down a whole swarm of humans and pokemon could bring more trouble than it was worth.

But while there are people who stay behind to investigate the body, there are also those who charge on ahead - and El can't help but wonder whether that's a good idea. Shouldn't they stick together, at least a little bit? Glancing to Eris and , they'd call "I'm gonna go on ahead, and make sure noone gets hurt!" as they switch Yggdrasil out for Akero.

At the very least, they could trust that those focused on the body wouldn't be in danger from the Ursaluna.

But once settled in their Togekiss' saddle, they were off. "Extreme Speed, Akero - let's be everyones' eyes in the sky!" They had to be quick, if they wanted to be on the scene in time to provide support..!
pqQoeQVb
TLDR:
- El completely misunderstands 's words for implying that he and had had a nasty breakup during him leaving Rocket (which does not help with.) Is now quietly sympathizing with Isaac.
- Checks on when she seems spooked by the swamp - offers her some reassurance/encouragement, and also that she's free to hitch a ride with them/their pokemon.
- Agrees with thinking the Ursaluna could be scared of them.
- When people begin running on ahead to chase it, switches Torterra out for Togekiss to chase after with Extreme Speed. Aiming to take the 'lead' and be everyones' eyes/support in the sky.

[attr="class","frannmain"]
Minding herself and doing well to keep a portion of the group in eyesight, Yuina did not want to get separated or lost here in this swamp. She had a means to get out if necessary, she did bring Rasza along with her just in case, but getting lost in general didn't sound like something she wanted to undertake.[break]
Mounted on Daikenki still, Yuina was doing her best to try and push away her reeling thoughts, the shards, the patch she found that was stuffed into her pocket, why did all of this scratch at some far away feeling in the very deepest parts of her mind? She couldn't fathom it, but trying to worry over what all of this meant to her wasn't going to do the mission any good. She pressed Daikenki onwards, his structure doing well against the mud and muck of the swamp, but as they pushed on, they really couldn't have been prepared for what they saw next.[break][break]
While Yuina had had her reservations about what this 'monster' in the swamp really was, she hadn't been expecting to see... Well... an actual monster? She'd never seen anything like it, even though in general it looked like something vaguely familiar... whether it be from her current fugue state or maybe it was something the musuem she could recall, the word 'Ursaluna' came to mind, a Pokemon that resembled this thing very much but... It was huge, matted, hunged over by its shoulders, with a dead green glow coming from its face and a searing red full circle on its head... It was like some ghost of an Ursaluna, from what she could try to envision in her minds eye, this was something far removed from that Pokemon...[break]
The Pokemon was digging up and lifted out of the ground a dead body... and soon it became apparent that most of the swamp was... filled with drifting bodies... but inspite of the shock, and the gag that Yuina had to swallow, cogs started working in her head that she wasn't inherently aware of that started pushing some pieces together...[break][break]
Not only did the beast look surprised, and maybe even took the chance to run from them upon their encroach, but if this was truly the work of some mindless killing machine, then the Ursaluna removed would have attacked at first sight... And this was... A lot of bodies for just one Pokemon to undertake, and why were they floating and not eaten or stored better for 'preserving' and 'storing' food like bears were known to do? There were... So many different things going on in this situation, Yuina couldn't think straight on what one thing she wanted to do, but as Daikenki snarled with bared fangs and prepared a Swords Dance, Yuina stopped him.[break]
"No... This... This is wrong, that thing looks like a monster, but... this doesn't make sense," she spoke aloud, but as she looked around many of the others had already started into the swamp, ready to take on the monster head on. Attacks already started to volley through the air, even from the other side of the swamp, she couldn't stop an entire organized hunting party from attacking what they've presumed their target was... But, she could try to find more evidence about what was really going on here... And in that moment, she looked out and saw a familiar face, one that hadn't started to pursue the monster into the swampy waters...[break][break]
"Temp," Yuina called out, and she motioned Daikenki forward, he hadn't started attacking, surely he had the same thoughts that she did... It was just like when they were in the woods, the grass type Pokemon had only grown more aggressive because something disrupted their environment...[break]
"Temp, I'm so glad there's a familiar face here... I, I don't think that thing is responsible here, there's so many things that don't make sense, there has to be more to what's happened," she voiced, they needed to do something before it was too late... Before something potentially worse came upon them all.

[attr="class","textbox"]Had it been anyone else, Isaac would have been pissed. How dare any Rocket act all innocent after everything that was done to him? How dare they act like he was the one in the wrong? How dare they lie through their teeth in front of his ? If they'd dance this dance of innuendo, then he'd let his words tear them to shreds.[break][break]

But he couldn't do that. Not to @tempest. Not to a friendly, caring man who hated the violence that Team Rocket forced him to engage in. Not to someone he genuinely cared about. "You'll know the truth someday," he said, a distinct note of sorrow in his voice. "One way or another."[break][break]

Arceus, was he thankful dragged him out of that mess. His arm tightened ever so slightly around hers, a weary sigh escaping him. "I owe you for that one," he whispered. For all Temp abhorred violence, Isaac could feel it brewing in every one of his tensed muscles. All it took was one isolated walk down the swamp for Isaac to spend his last moments drowning in mud.[break][break]

Unfortunately, this seemed to be where they'd part ways. Genny was on body duty, while Isaac found himself compelled by the bear that lumbered so fearfully away from them. was right. This didn't look like a killer. "You got this, Genny," he assured her, giving her shoulder a gentle bump with his own. "Still got my number, right? If anything gives you trouble, call me and you can bet your ass I'll be there."[break][break]

"I'm gonna see if our friend here's truly guilty as charged."[break][break]

They were trudging through the muck, and that meant it was time for another ride on Cambria's carapace. The Golisopod began fighting its way through the muck. Isaac was far from the fastest party to join the fray, and he damn well knew that many of Hoenn's finest weren't as merciful as him. Nevertheless, he could only hope his words would be able to reach them.[break][break]

"Keep your guards up, but don't get hasty," he warned. "If we don't provoke it, it might stand down. And if it does, that means there might be a whole lot more to this mystery."[break][break]

They're too late.[break][break]

All Luka can do is numbly nod as confirms aloud what they can all see spread before them: a watery grave with drowned limbs glowing pus-white under the moonlight. Every time she thinks she's seen the worst Hoenn has to offer, it manages to surprise her yet again; she gags at the smell of decaying flesh and vegetation, and the musty air seems keen to claw itself down her throat and choke her.[break][break]

It's a horrific sight, made that much worse when she, along with , , and others, recognizes the bodies of those they were sent to search for. Now, with no hope of rescue, all she can do is pray that their demises were swift.[break][break]

However, the trail of body parts they'd been left with makes her think otherwise.[break][break]

"My Musharna turned up something too," Luka answers when the other woman announces her findings. "The sound of something being dug up. I-I think there might be even more out here than what we can see—"[break][break]

Her assumption is proven correct (why is she only right about the most horrible of things?) when the Ursaluna in the swamp unearths yet another corpse. The masses around her all seem to surge towards the beast, but Luka hangs back. It's silly to hold onto the assumption that the creature before them is innocent, but perhaps...[break][break]

"W-wait, wait!" she yells out. "We don't know that that's our culprit! M-maybe it just found the bodies..." It sounds ridiculous when said out loud, and doesn't seem to dissuade anyone anyways. She's not keen on rushing after the beast with all of them, but she does release her Spectrier and mounts them, certain that her spectral companion can give her safe passage through the swamp.[break][break]

"D-does anyone need a ride?" she asks, wrapping her hand around a ghostly tendril of her mount's mane. "I've got room for at least one more."[break][break]

A ghostly whinny echoes in response. It's a low and mournful sound, almost as though her horse is calling out to the spirits of those who met their end here. Luka bows her head, adding her own moment of reverence to the gesture, but eventually looks ahead. Like it or not, she has to make a move eventually.[break][break]

Like some of the others, she isn't keen on attacking right away. Instead, while her Spectrier hovers a few inches above the swamp, her Musharna summons a frenzy plant.[break][break]

From the murky depths of the swamp, giant roots and vines begin to emerge. They drip with marsh water and surge towards the Ursaluna— not intending to attack, but ensnare. A wall of plantlife rises against the beast, some tendrils reaching for the beast while the rest try to cage it in and prevent escape, or at least slow it down.[break][break]

Closer to shore, a few smaller tendrils of vines pull some of the bodies closer to those like and , assisting them in pulling the corpses out of their fetid graveyard.[break][break]

The findings that Elise and Alba presented came with more disturbing implications. Allegedly human bones with the marrow sucked out of them. Deleted photos, one of which being the corpses of two of their missing persons.

Thomas turned to Tsubaki.

"So far, we have adhesive poison, bones with the marrow sucked out of them, and now a photo of two corpses. Given the fact that we've had increased Megalopolan sightings in this month alone, and the danger they present, I'm just saying we shouldn't eliminate them as potential suspects.", he'd tell the deputy. "I really hope I'm wrong, though."

Thomas continued on, stepping into the swamp. He internally cursed himself for not bringing along a Pokemon to float or surf on.

Thomas joined the others in examining the bodies. The former Elite Four was looking for signs of electrical trauma, specifically from elecroshock batons. Given his experiences with Megalopolans, it was another sign that they were involved.

As the bear charged, Thomas' Ceruledge charged the bear, Bitter Blades flared and ready to act in Thomas' defense.

Cadeyn sneer look at the bones. No marrow or anything was this even by a pokemon or something else. Some said they found poison. The search was taking a turned for the worst one that Cade.This wasn't normal at all in fact this was worse. The knight remained steadfast as he followed the rest and see all corpses it almost made him sick to his stomach. Two of those corpses were similar to the best who went missing. It all made sense now [break][break] The tyrantrum growled at the seen but not for long as the knight return in her spot in exchanged for his Charizard. Cinder didn't seem thrilled at the screen but remained silent. Cadeyn got onto of her before flying past the corpse infested water towards the sound. He was sure it was some kind of creature. He was upset but more importantly he wanted answer! [break][break]

tl;dr: Cade in Area 1  is rather complex about the bones but says nothing yet being in his thoughts. He followed the rest of the group until  he notice the corpse and quite dishearten. He switch his tyrantrum for his charzard and flying across the water due to the sound.[break][break]

Watching an investigation wasn’t really his kind of thing, but at the same time? He wasn’t really going to leave behind a valuable piece of evidence, maybe someone else would be able to make something of it. So the Rocket Grunt took the leg with him, it was a strange choice to make, but he wasn’t particularly focused on the optics of his actions in that moment. Grabbing it by the shin, he hoisted it over his shoulder.
[break][break]
That didn’t make any of this simple, not by a long shot.
[break][break]
The mud was only going to get far deeper, and people were going to only get closer, but Kouji looked around, his eyebrows rising up; a fair bit as he looked around the area for anything else. ”Any of the missing people an older dude? I know an old dude leg when I see it.”
[break][break]
Still, whatever he did, he knew carrying a leg like this was only going to make him look strange, but he wished he had realized that before grabbed it like this. ”Ah, thought I’d bury it when we next get a chance. Seems sad to leave it out here like this.” He said, partially lying.
[break][break]
Time for him to learn how to dig without a shovel.
[break][break]
But a moment of respite didn’t make it a moment of piece, the watery area around the swamp was dangerous, and it was only getting more so. With every step, it became harder to lift his foot back up.
[break][break]
”What a pain in the ass, Umbreon, run ahead and use Route WH to aid anyone that needs it.” His pokemon would have an easier time wading through this, lighter and fleeter of foot. WH, a name for Helping Hand.

Ambrose eventually got himself out of the mud, thanks to some water-based intervention from a nearby volunteer. You won't see Ambrose showing thanks though, instead posturing as if he had pulled himself out all by himself. "Ha! Easy as pie!"

Ambrose wasted no time catching up to the others, reeling to a screeching halt as the creature revealed itself. Why, it was a giant bear--thing! Oh the horror, oh the humanity! The bear dived into some nearby water, revealing a big bulging bundle of dead bodies. Ambrose quickly took out his phone to snap a picture, this shall serve as good inspiration for a song some day he was sure of it.

Everyone decided to throw out all of their ideas at once, creating a chaotic scene as traps and attacks meshed with one another. Ambrose has few resources to contribute, so he decided to make a plan of his own. He opened a pokeball, summoning Osborne the zoroark. Before Osborne could react, Ambrose waltzed up and began whispering in his ear. Whatever Ambrose said must have been truly appalling, because the zoroark would vehemently shake his head.

Ambrose came around to Osborne's front, putting his hands on their shoulders. "Come on buddy, you can do it! If we get out of this I'll wine and dine ya, promise!" Osborne grimaced but eventually began creating an Illusion to enact his master's plan. Ambrose rubbed his hands together as he got out of the way, just in time for Osborne to complete his transformation.

It was a little dark, and thus hard to get a complete picture, but Osborne did his best to become a fake copy of the evil bear! He leapt forward into the water, standing up on his back legs and waving his paws. Ambrose shouted to his partner from the bank of the makeshift pond. "Be more seductive! Put some feeling into it!" Osborne rolled his eyes before letting out a wolf-loud whistle while shaking his hips and posterior.

Surely this shall not have any unintended consequences.

XLC6eno_

tl;dr
--Ambrose joins his team at the site of the bear's emergence.
--Zoroark uses Illusion to become an imperfect copy of the bear, using its guile and body language in an attempt to seduce the creature closer to Ambrose.

It seems the group was forever getting bigger, which wasn't a bad thing at all, it just meant that safety in number was becoming a full blown reality. He couldn't help but give out a sneer towards 's small 'following' comment. "If I was following you, I would have asked you to start picking for places with solid ground." Mud really wasn't his terrain of choice when he had rolled his character sheet.[break][break]

Things were really happening at the speed of sound around here. Bodies had started appearing, eldritch pokemon were appearing and trying to escape. "This is definitely not a dumping site... Bodies that are dumped don't often float up." There was several reasons for this but the most important one would be because whoever was dumping them wouldn't want them to be found, Aidan knew this very well. [break][break]

Clicking his tongue twice and pointing towards the strange Ursaluna so his Metagross could take action, hopefully with the AGILITY it had used before it would help be able to help Rowan's Decidueye keep the strange pokemon at bay with it's own move, a FLASH CANNON.[break][break]

With his pokemon making it's move Aidan would would quickly take Rowan on the offer to help him with the body. "I have some experience with dead ones, what do you need a hand with?" He wasn't exactly sure what Rowan intended to do with the body but hopefully it had nothing to do with them running around with a muddy, dead, damp and mutilated body around. Aidan could only hope.[break][break]

Kazimir returned the bad news as the teenager would huff to herself in frustration. She wasn't expecting him to know about check-ins, much less know who he even was. But it was still aggravating to receive another dead end in her search. "Gotcha. Thanks…" she muttered underneath her breath. He showed some signs of at least some understanding but Vanilla wouldn't pester him any further. Desiree commented about their guesses as to what could be the cause of this sort of aggression, even as to where the missing campers were. She was hopeful and it was infectious, Vanilla smiling a bit more. No wonder she was such a popular musician, every word she spoke was laced with about nine different kinds of confidence.

More people wandered in from the fog filled rain as the area was getting cramped with other people. Not that Vanilla minded any, the more people, the quicker they could solve this mystery after all! Desiree made quick work of the fog with her Hatterene's little dazzling gleam while Vanilla continued searching around with the others. The unraveling events would result in an mp3 player in being found playing her music on repeat alongside the torn off ear that Vanilla's stomach began to unsettle itself. She had a bad feeling come over her in regards to what happened. But she could let the others see, not like this! The girl swallowed her fears as best she could and continued silently along, doing her best to remain helpful. All seemed to be going alright, some people getting stuck in the swamp terrain, but doing alright.

Then came the Sableye's Sunny Day to reveal a sight that burned itself into Vanilla's eyes for a while. Bodies, lying in the middle of the swamp face down. Fear ran down the girl's spine as she let out a terrified shriek, scrambling back some ways as she fell into the swamp in paralyzed fear. The missing people, the number of bodies, it looked like everyone was there. She'd breathe heavily as everything around her moved twice as fast. People talking, moving the bodies, but then an Ursaluna would trample through the sludge, knocking the bodies out of the way. Still stricken with fear, Vanilla would sit by, terrified of what was happening. She leaned over to the side and emptied out the contents of her stomach out of disgust. Once it was done, she'd look out into the distance and see some beginning to advance forward on the Ursaluna. Though not entire stable, Vanilla forced herself up and would have to join them as well.

"C-C'mon, Gief!" A pokeball was thrown out as Vanilla's Machamp would burst onto the scene. She waded slowly through the water to catch up to the others advancing towards it. "Grab it and don't let it get away!" The Machamp pushed off of its spot and would bound towards the Ursaluna, with Vanilla following behind it, though having a harder time.

TL;DR:
#Area1Pride
↳ Vanilla gets upset that KAZIMIR hasn't heard of her father, pouts and just goes along with the expedition
↳ Follows along everyone else
↳ Screams at discovering the bodies floating in the swamp and is deathly afraid, terrified of what's she's seen
↳ Snaps out of it once Thomas and the others are fighting the Ursaluna
↳She throws out her MACHAMP and then orders it to use SEISMIC TOSS to try and restrain the Ursaluna
