it happens quickly, and she's the first to jump off the drake to the man attacked by his clone. [break][break]

dirt still clinging to her skin as they teleport to safety, mielle is slightly frantic and panicked seeing the damage he sustains. luckily, a life dew from martin helps to alleviate some of the injuries, and she catches the faint pink glow of a HEAL PULSE not too far from the distance. and so, she makes quick work to COPYCAT to act as a healer, once again. anxiety is only put at ease when she sees that the major injuries have started to heal, though the pinkish glow persists as she carefully lifts the unconscious man back onto the worried drake. [break][break]

the bounsweet whistles at her feet, worried, but unsure of what she could do as her trainer tries to keep him against the bipedal dragon. everything is happening at once, and she can only pray that the portal will take them to safety, to offer them a moment's respite. "thank you, for the life dew." she tries to wear a smile in this situation, towards Martín del Mar, misplaced as it is, as she hops onto the drake's back. she' careful to keep the man secured, between both herself and the dragon. the bounsweet returning to its ball.[break][break]

"we need to get out of here, now." she lowers her voice to the dragon, anxiety raising as she hears the chaos from behind. "and we need to get dante to a doctor.." she urges the dragon to the portal. she doesn't know where it's going to take her, but she knows (hopes) that it's safer than here.

☉

well, good to know that the heal order didn't work. [break][break]

she can only pray that the WISH she previously used will help the actual xerneas recover, even if by a little bit. may her prayer bring some solace to the stag who suffers and attempts to recover. at the moment, however, there were more things to worry about, such as the grotesque counterparts emerging upon the treetops. instinctively, the green woman clings further against the finned dragon, and she feels a chilled shiver run up her spine. [break][break]

still clinging, with her vespiquen following behind, she calls out to it as she pulls out her pokeball. "raine! return!" she calls out as the vespiquen returns to her pokeball. she's quick to swap it out, though is careful to call out the bounsweet in her arms - she's already secure between the large, bipedal dragon and dante. it should be okay. [break][break]

"schnee, MAGICAL LEAF on the.. not so.. pretty clones." she's quiet, tucking her head closer to the pomme who lets out a gleeful chime - one that she can only assume is so because she's young and ignorant to the danger - as she releases a flurry of multi-coloured leaves, aimed and poised to join in the SAND TOMB and slash at the flesh. [break][break]

in the meantime, mielle is staying vigilant, keeping an eye on their surroundings, though they pass with speed. what she does see in passing, however, is a woman's (Lulu Flint 's) TELEPORT as she blinks from her space. and she's unsure, and praying, as she keeps a hold on her pokemon. she hopes that the PROTECT can buy her time as her body glows a soft green, attempting to COPYCAT the psychic energy used. [break][break]

and, if successful, she hopes it will bring all four of them back to the portal, where there were more people. back to safety, so they aren't in immediate danger.

with the monkey downed, there's a need to rush into the portal before they resurface.[break][break]

in the blink of an eye, she finds herself tugged closer to a larger body, and she's seated upon the large, dragon pokemon with Dante Telos holding her steady. so she takes the offer, smiling as she clings onto the dracovish that has the trainers' weights upon him. the vespiquen follows suit, quick to buzz and make way through. "indeed," she starts, a smile tugging at her lips in spite of the situation "the sooner i can return home and wash off this dirt, the better." [break][break]

there, she glances up to find an overbearing snake, glaring a the group with a deer-like pokemon at the mercy of its poisonous fangs. the blonde woman gasps softly, hands over her mouth as she witnesses the painful scene. it must hurt. [break][break]

when the seviper launches a smokescreen at the group, she braces herself with her arms as the reunited groups combine efforts to fend off the suffocating, putrid air - only for mielle's green bits of leaf to begin glowing a soft, warming green as the air seemed to grow all the clearer around her, pushing away the pollution around her to release a small area of clean air. her eyes widen as her arms lower, and she watches as the darkened air is taken into her body in small amounts, and is released into the air as purified air. it makes breathing at this altitude a bit easier, she finds. [break][break]

which is good, because there's something about the beautiful pokemon. she has trouble taking her eyes off it. [break][break]

until the sharp words of dante commanding his pokemon is heard, and she immediately snaps back to reality. she's settled herself between the trainer and the pokemon, thus when his tail begins to lash, she immediately tucks herself in, closer, between the dragon and the dragon man. [break][break]

"Reine!" she calls to the vespiquen in the rush, who buzzes not too far from behind her. "HEAL ORDER on the stag! Now!" her hand clings to the dracovish, whose speed picks up as they approach the colossal snake. she clasps her hands together, shutting her eyes, and praying that the faint light that surrounds her body is able to turn into a WISH that soars into the sky, meant to heal the XERNEAS still in the seviper's grasp.

dirt and water fly in her direction, and she's quick enough to raise her arms to cover her face, though she finds that the soil clings to her body. thankfully, it doesn't look like it's trying to devour her like she thought - nothing about this place was normal, after all. [break][break]

only for a series of events to unfold before her; namely, the hostages in the rillaboom's arms seem to be in better hands (or, better than she thought they'd be), and she thinks it's safe, now, to move on ahead and try to flee the enraged, gargantuan pokemon. unfortunately, a man's bright idea was to create a magma storm, with bits of fire raining from the sky, starting to light the patches of grass around the beast aflame - and it will no doubt make it harder to press forward. [break][break]

of course, mielle isn't smart enough to realize that at first. she just sees the large amount of fire in the forest, and she'd probably make a sad face at it. [break][break]

so instead, she tries to look for something - anything - that will help her put the flames out. it's there where she sees a LIFE DEW being cast, and with a deep breath, the leafeon woman's body is surrounded by a green aura, before she releases an orb of water into the air that releases a pulse of additional LIFE DEW, hoping that its drizzle can put out the flickering embers. [break][break]

in the meantime, she glances to the vespiquen, still, barking orders to the queen pokemon as Mielle attempts to send out multiple pulses of the healing move "use attack order on the eyes! keep it from seeing clearly!" she tried to be a pacifist, and the rillaboom only had itself to blame for not falling asleep when she offered the peace.. right? she won't feel bad about it if she thinks of it that way. [break][break]

a swarm of combee head to the rillaboom, hoping to buzz and aggressively.. smother? smother the beast. bonus points if all the rillaboom could hear afterwords was the buzzing of bees. [break][break]

"now, if you have an idea, amore" she tries to wipe some dirt off her pants, though not expecting much success turning her gaze to Dante Telos "now would be a great time to put it into action~"

☉

such devastation. [break][break]

this was definitely their intention. [break][break]

the path ahead is still hard to traverse and, though she doesn't end up far from Dante Telos , she still finds herself somehow a little further ahead of him and Eris Halla . when she glances back, she sees them behind her, then she hears the rumbling of a gargantuan pokemon rising from the murk. [break][break]

though she's safe from the carnage (for now), she's worried for the people who've fallen behind. so, in an attempt to help (without bringing harm to the rillaboom, because they were the ones who interrupted its peaceful slumber), she brings her hands to her lips, and a soft glow of green grass forms between her fingertips. with that, she begins to use what she thinks is GRASS WHISTLE, hoping to lure the rillaboom back into a peaceful slumber. [break][break]

just in case, she glances to the vespiquen at her side, then points to dante (her heart's at ease from the child, seeing that someone picked her up already and is trying to help her - though she's still concerned about her physical condition, considering she was having so much trouble staying up. she'll have to keep an eye on her). "defend order, please!" she's asking the queen bee, who sends out a swarm of bees to circle around the man to act as his living shield, though they're careful not to obstruct his vision. they're fluid, and will adjust to his movements accordingly.

☉

her ears twitch - they hecking twitched - at the young girl's words. she'a anxious, no doubt, and it leaves a bad taste in her mouth, knowing that a child is moving on her own the way she is. mielle could take to safety in numbers, but the concern furrowing of her brows prompt her to go a different direction. with that said, she swaps out the large apple pokemon for a hovering queen bee. that should be better in terms of mobility.[break][break]

not to mention that she was still hurt. a twang in her heart makes her cringe, seeing a child put herself through pain as the vines grown beneath her. still, she turns to look for dante who, much to her surprise, already looked to be walking back with some new.. draconic features to his body. were not for the situation, she'd stare in awe. [break][break]

oh sho was she kidding? she was definitely staring. [break][break]

"are you alright?" she frets. her ears twitch anticipating an answer, arms instinctively reaching over to brush her fingers by his arm. the anxiety is split when she glances back at the child, already walking down the path she's created with a small light source. [break][break]

she makes sure that dante is okay, before smiling as the green leaf parts of her ears and tail began to glow, softly. the light gathers into a small, warm orb of light within her hands before she releases it into the air - she's never done it before, and it just came so naturally - to expand a sunny day out into the sky. she hopes that the harsh sunlight can brighten the way. [break][break]

with the artificial sun out, she opts to gently grab the man's hand to tug him along with her. her warm smile is there to offset her own anxiety, eager to follow the path of the young girl. she wants to catch up. "be careful." she says, smiling as her fingers twine around his hand "the ground is a little uneven, but.. i'm very worried about the little girl, so i hope we can catch up~."

☉

she glances back to her companion, smiling shortly after she's offered her pokemon's flesh to the bowl. "your guess is as good as mine~" she chimes, a smile to her lips, before turning her attention back to the little one who stands with her by the shrine. [break][break]

the girl suddenly stumbles, and Mielle's first instinct is to reach her arm out to try and catch the little thing. she was forcing her smile - mielle's seen a similar one too many times - and it's all too obvious that the little girl is reaching her limit. was she in pain from earlier? though she tries to catch her, mielle feels a sudden throbbing at the sides of her head, and it hurts, as the moist soil digs its way into her ankles. [break][break]

though she's in pain and lowers herself to the ground, she tries to keep an arm up to keep the little girl standing. when she comes to, the air feels cleaner, and it's somehow easier to breathe. and there she opens her eyes, feeling a.. tail? ears? they twitch, and she's curiously reaching her hand up to feel the cream coloured ears atop of her head. [break][break]

and with a soft gasp, she glances back to her partner, ridden with anxiety and confusion when she speaks "w-what's happening?"
