This place wasn't going to be salvageable at the moment, sure the fire was slowly dying but far too slow. A cough left him as the smoke was irritating to have to inhale. When the rubble was broken apart, Skids found his arm released from it. IT hurt to a degree but adrenaline was keeping him from noticing all of the pain. There was some burns to it as well as wood splinters stuck in there, however he'd notice those later. His coat was pretty ruined at this point.

"Thanks." Skids replied to the gallade.

The man moved to head out. The sound of the building growing more unstable was enough to make him go. Course he had to be sure that the young man got out.

"YOU STILL IN HERE?!!" SKids called when he got to the place the two men had splintered apart at.

There was a faint crunch beneath his feet and he looked down, bits of ice...ice? Why was ice here? Had the young man tried to use ice against the flames? Not a wise idea but honestly anything was worth a shot.

Holo leaped out the window and made her way over to the gardevoir to set the persian down. The cat was trembling though the dog was already moving away, releasing another torrent of flames into the night air, away from anything flammable. The rain helped to put it out even faster and the dog was annoyed with the amount of water they were stuck being exposed to. Seeing the gallade emerge with another of the temple staff, the houndoom raised a brow at the exchange. Wait...where was her trainer? The houndoom was already rushing back to the building to try and fetch him.

The gallade would appear back at the spot that they had last left Skids, only to find a large amount of debris littering the spot. Skids was alive, he was on the other side of it. Slowly sitting up since he had to fling himself back in the attempt to avoid it all. However, he found that his little attempt didn't get him unscathed. His right arm was stuck under some of the wood,the smell of smoke reached him a lot faster now and a few coughs left him.

"FUck.." Skids muttered, trying to pry his arm free.

"Five years...." Skids remarked, surprised at the time that had passed. "It's alright to doubt things like that, she was a good woman."

Skids would've listened to Billie but then...a voice...followed by a smash. That voice. Skids was up on his feet on reflex.

"Razzberry! Play that sound again, right after the smash, can you do that for me?" Skids requested of the pokemon.

It couldn't be...and yet he knew that voice, he knew far too well for his liking. What was the word he was saying though when the camera's feed ended? What did they exactly say? If Razzberry was able to reply that sound, Skids would focus on it. Straining his ears and mind to try and figure out the voice. Sadly this meant that he was ignoring the good advice that Billi was trying to help his mother give him.

Getting the unconcious man freed from the rubble with the gallade's help, Skids pulled the unconcious person up. They were going to need them out of here. Granted, Skids doubted the Gallade would get this poor soul out since it wasn't his pokemon. There was no reason for them to listen. The bark of Holo reached him and turned.

"HOlo! Here!" Skids called, the houndoom easily appearing. "Take the persian and get them out."

Grabbing a hold of the cat's scruff, the houndoom rushed off; taking heed of the firey areas that the normal type wouldn't surfivie in. Of course trying to carry another person out wasn't a easy task. The sound of the wood groaning reached him and while the ice was spreading out, it also had to travel up. But water and weak beams was a bad mix, as the fire would crackle there was a louder sound of things giving away. Skids glanced up to notice some of the floor above collapsing. The poor person he had with him probably wasn't going to be able to handle being caved in on a second time.

So Skids did the thing he could think of first.

"Take him, please." Skids requested though practically shoving the unconcious person to the gallade before a firm shove was given, the sound of more wooden boards and beams snapping before collapsing in the hallway.

"Yes I am!! Now move it!" Skids remarked back without looking behind him.

The man didn't notice the pokeball being opened, in fact the sound of creaking wood and flames were the man things in his ears. The wet coat was helping him for now but it would last long, the water he had dosed himself in on his face would go first. Making a harsher turn than he meant to, the fire had spread so fast...why? He could easily see the fire growing in the rooms down the hall, their orange glow obvious.

"Did more than one hit...?" Skids muttered before he continued forward, taking care to avoid the rooms that had more of the flames in them.

At this point he just noticed the gallade, a rather surprised look came to his face before he sighed. Of course the boy didn't trust him to be on his own.....stupid. Why was it so hard to just be helpful? The sound of a persian crying came to him and Skids rushed for it, trying to stay a little lower due to the smoke. In one of the rooms a kanto persian was tugging on the sleeve of it's trainer, the poor soul was trapped under some debris and already unconcious.

"Hold on." Skids muttered, bending down and trying to move the rubble, he glanced at the Gallade. "Can you get them out of here once they're free?"

"No I'm not crazy, I'm not going to sit on the sidelines when my pokemon put themselves at risk." Skids replied simply.

Granted he wanted to add more onto it. Age...everything revolved around it and Skids felt his disapleasure about it boiling. HE wasn't too old to where he couldn't help! He gave Holo instructions as well as Salemn, they were at risk because he put them there. HE wasn't going to just sit back and do nothing! They 'stay there' order only fueled that anger more and Skids waited just long enough to where the other was in the door before rushing into the building after him. Holo gave a low grumble of her own before going after, at least she could jump through the window and withstand the heat.

"Take the right, I'll go left." Skids told the young man when he was inside. "This place is big, you alone isn't going to get everyone out if they need it."

Skids was quick to turn his back to the other, already aiming to go to the left as he had stated.

That was another pokemon he didn't know. It was starting to be a tad displeasing to not know so many things. Still, he gave a nod.

"Do you have any other large pokemon that can take to the sky? Maybe another large pokemon even if not a dragon, can still put fear into them?" Skids asked.

He knew the young man wasn't from Hoenn, so maybe they had a pokemon that he didn't know of? Either way, more than one pokemon could certainly help with the scaring. Even better if it wasn't native and the Mightyena's didn't know what to do in order to handle the fight. They would know the weakness to a Salamence, but if they were smart they wouldn't try to take a older one down unless it was near the end of it's life or sick. Skids would follow along, taking care to not mistep and to follow the other's lead.

"Right." Skids replied when they mentioned taking their partner out.

Releasing the salamence form their ball, the dragon tilted their head. Taking a moment to recognize the area and glancing back the way the two trainers came. Skids gently patted them.

"Easy my friend. We'll go visit when we're done, right now we got a job. You okay with scaring some dogs?" Skids asked.

Salemn seemed to ponder it but they soon nodded in agreement.

"Mightyena are pack pokemon, so a challenge of leadership would have to be answered. If the alpha ignores it, it could make the pack think they're weak and then cause those within the pack to challenge him. Even if it's from a outsider pokemon, leadership is valued in many pokemon species that travel in herds or packs. They need to know their leader can provide and keep them safe from any threat." Skids replied. "The problem with that, we'd be sending one of our own into the wolf's den..."

And that alone would prove a bad idea. Glancing to the treeline, Skids narrowed his gaze slightly. Trying to spot something, anything that could give him a better idea on what to do. Reaching into his pockets, he gave a small blink and recalledhe had Salemn still in their ball. He pulled the pokeball out of his pocket and glanced at it, letting his attention linger on it before looking back to the treeline.

"You know what....let's try to scare them off. Not many pokemon would be brave enough to challenge a dragon type, the alpha might though. After all, he's tasked with protecting all of them, if he can't fend off a older dragon or get it disinterested, the rest of the pack may turn tail and run." Skids suggested. "We'd just need your taloneflame to lead the way to the rest of the pack and we can follow at a safer distance?"

It was the only other idea Skids had. While not quite going into the fray, it still was.

The harsh motion Salemn did didn't save him from much of the damage. The claws raked against the precious wings of the dragon and the large beast let out a furious roar; with some pain in it. With tears in it's precious wing, the beast attempted to correct itself as it spiraled out of control. Skids lost his enthuasim to keep the battle going, his happiness to help Hideo out was replaced by a overwhelming dread as he watched his pokemon go though the air.

"no no no..." Skids muttered, searching for Salemn's pokeball.

The loud sound of something heavy and large slammed into the ground, tearing a path into the ground and there was a low groan from the pokemon. Skids stopped searching through his pockets and looked to where the dragon landed. They were already pulling themself up, a death glare being given to the small cat. The wings of a salamence were VERY important to the dragon pokemon, it was their nature. They were happiest in the air and now..now that ability to fly was compromised; lightly compromised and would heal, but still. The dragon started to power up one of their breathe attacks and Skids rushed to block em.

"No Salemn! Enough." Skids ordered as he put his hands on the large dragon's face and tried to get them to look at him. "No more.You did marvelously, it's okay. We'll get that checked..."

A angry snort of smoke was pushed into Skids' face as the pokemon turned their head away, very angry and Skids couldn't help but cough. Waving the smoke away before he looked to Hideo.

"Let's call this a draw, I think I see something I can help you with though." Skids said as he walked over to Hideo. "We can go over the battle at the pokemon center if you'd like? Or we can go over it the next time we met up?"

"UP now!" Skids ordered after the attack made clear contact.

Salemn was still in the air, so the beat of his wings was only pushing him up higher. However the strange feline had grabbed hold of the dragon's paw and was scaling up the larger dragon. Salemn noticed this, snarling annoyed at the small pokemon. Skids noticed as well and didn't like how this was looking. What plan did this pokemon have in their head?

"Salemn, get em off like you did to me when we got here." Skids told them.

Probably a odd thing to hear someone say but Salemn knew what Skids was talking about. The dragon reared upwards and started to fly upwards as fast as their large wings would carry them, going higher until they disappeared from sight. However, Salemn would suddenly turn downward, almost like a dive bomb. If the Perserrker didn't do anything at this point, Salemn would get in view of the ground before suddenly jerking to the right. Attempting to fling the galarian pokemon off.

"A very good day for one." Skids replied. "Haven't been here in years..."

Skids was enjoying the soak, the heat felt nice and while he was trying to ignore some of the past, the arrival of a person certainly helped that.

"Still is a great place." Skids added on, closing his eyes as he sank a little further; but was aware enough to keep his head above the water. "Come here often?"

It didn't dodge when the lad requested, did it not have enough time? Possibly. When the grin came to the cat's face, Salemn narrowed his gaze and spread his wings out, watching the small creature. Skids knew Salemn was doing that out of old tactics they used in battles and maybe it would be best to use some old strats? When Hideo gave the next order, the feline once more didn't listen. It's started to glow..

"Up!" Skids ordered swiftly.

A might beat of his large red wings, Salemn pushed himself upwards into the air as Sirfightsalot rushed the dragon. Salemn's wings moved him fast enough to get him in the air and avoid the second iron head. Strange..this pokemon was behaving like one you got in a trade but you lacked the right gym badge...was that still a thing? Or was this pokemon still so new to being on a team that obeying a trainer felt beneath them? Maybe. He'd ask the lad about it later.

"Alright, let's try some old moves. Dragon claw." Skids added, grey brows narrowing slightly as he waited to see how the feline would react.

Salemn had raised himself higher in the air and quickly aimed themself at where the perserreker was. The claws on their front paw glowed as they seemed to extend farther than they should've naturally, covered in a purplish blue energy. If the cat pokemon moved out of the way, the damage done to the ground be very clear as it would crack and even be pushed down where the heavy paw landed.

"Very good." Skids said with a nod, moving away from the two and signaling for the dragon to follow him. "Once this is over I'll tell you just what dragon type he is."

Seemed only fair, after all this would help the lad expand his knowledge on pokemon. That was a valuable thing to have. Since Salemn was partially turned in order to get to a bigger gap between the trainers and the pokemon, it wasn't possible to dodge the iron head. The smaller pokemon slammed into them and Salemn gave a growl, glaring down at em. Skids couldn't help but have a small smirk as it seemed that Hideo took the initiative.

"Let's get em off with a similar taste Salemn, Headbutt!" Skids ordered.

This wouldn't do much damage considering it was a normal type move, but Skids was going to hold some things up his sleeve. He didn't know this strange cat, and Skids needed to know more about it. It looked like it was metal in a way but it was still fur..so he needed to see more of this pokemon. Thus Salemn swung their larger head down at the cat, their long neck would make swinging their head a bit funnier looking.

A startled sound left Skids as a pokemon shrieked and slammed into his face, causing the man to stagger backwards. His muffled voice could be heard and the pokemon seemed to scurry up his face and took to being on his head. A cough left him and he noticed the puffy feathers that slowly drifted down. Raising a brow, he glanced up and could notice something...cloud like for just a moment. Then came that sound, the pokemon chirped and he could feel something of a smaller size shift around on his head. ALready he had a idea but as he tried to look up a bit better, the blue face and beady black eyes were peaking down at him. A big grin quickly came to his face.

"You're a swablu!" Skids remarked, his voice filling with excitement but he was trying to keep a quieter voice as to not scare the bird further.

A chirp left them as they shrank back, disappearing from his view. Well...what did he do now? He could try to remove em but...it was a swablu! He remembered trying to catch one in his youth but wasn't able to do it. They just didn't seem to be around the days he tried. If he just let it go though..was he going to find another one? He could feel the pokemon lighting pecking his head, and once in a while it would tug on his grey hairs. Was it trying to make a little nest? Potentially..well with no other ideas, he took out a pokeball and attempted to catch the pokemon with a very silly maneuver; since he had to strain a bit to boop the pokemon with the pokeball.

"I might've made a new friend!" Skids called over to em. "Other than that no, it's just a room full of boxes that look...a bit too destroyed to be worth going through."

Eventually, he went to catch up to Noelani and gave a small sigh. While the swablu was a great find, he didn't know if he could take another scare like that.

"WEll it's probably wise to not split up in seperate halls..." Skids remarked, just to be safe after all. "We could try going to the right?"
