Afraid of heights... So Makoto's backup plan was a no-go, then. At least - not without some tweaks. Shit. They had thought to let Tsume carry them, and have Erebus carry Tempest. But if they had to go the other way around, then...
Makoto can't help a brief and involuntary shudder. The events of Mossdeep still hang heavy on their mind. They've been able to find some normalcy in being around Erebus again, in the days since, but... There is still a part of them that leaves their skin crawling whenever they so much as brush against it.
What other option do they have, though?
As Tempest insists upon being the bait, Makoto shakes their head. "This is just any other getaway for me." They claim - an exaggeration for sure, but one that they hope will put his worries to some ease as they make a decision. "You'll go. Tsume!"
And as the Zoroark is called upon, he understands what Makoto wants. As they let go of Tempest's hand, he rushes forward with a Agility to scoop the Beast up, and dart ahead.
Makoto, meanwhile, switches Kuro out for someone else.
As Erebus is sent out, the Deoxys is immediately readied for a fight - its attention locks onto the Golurk without hesitation, even if there is that brush of inquisition against Makoto's mind. Its tentacles coil into humanoid arms, the barest hints of frost on its fists...
... But rather than command it into combat, they instead reach out for its arm. It is startled at the contact, but Makoto speaks before it can 'question' them. "I'm not testing our luck. Follow Tsume."
Erebus blinks, but after a moment, it nods. Arms once more unform into the tendrils it is familiar with. There is a hesitation as it moves to scoop them up - the both of them know Makoto is uncomfortable with this contact - but even as Makoto flinches, they cooperate.
And thus, it Teleports - even if it cannot move as fast as Tsume by default, it can still close the distance like this, as they flee the behemoth.
