After a moment of consideration, Ivy's Mabostiff Pewter did step closer to the wild Salazzle and the trap it was stuck in. Going through the moves the dog knew in her mind, Ivy ordered it to use Jaw Lock on the trap. With luck it would be strong enough of a bite to break through it, but.. but also it would risk the Salazzle getting hurt.

"Do you also make sure the Salazzle doesn't get injured?" Ivy looked to the two other people. Her Mabostiff was already about to bite down.

There were a somewhat large number of Pokemon present already so she thought it counterproductive to add more to it by summoning one of her own that could help with their healing endeavor. Not that she had any such Pokemon to begin with yet.

Ivy was still beaming with excitement and relief. Earlier this day she had visited one of the flats she had found online that were looking for new tenants. A small sweet place all for herself! The one she had seen today checked all the boxes, and she hoped dearly that they would choose her instead of any other applicant. She was so tired of being a guest at VELVET ASCH 's at this point. Not because Velvet was a bad host or because she didn't like her and the flat, but moreso because she didn't want to be a stranger in someone else's private haven any longer. She assumed it must be tiresome to have someone over for weeks on end..

Well, hopefully she'd be able to move out this or next month.

The festive decor in this restaurant that Shalin had suggested made Ivy feel jolly. Things were good in her life, overall.

"No, thank you, too! That poor thing.. I hope it's still doing okay out there," Ivy replied to what Shalin had said. That poor Salazzle from the other day..

Ouch. That felt like a personal attack to Ivy. Though having a Salazzle and a Salandit, them being her first two Pokemon ever even, she wasn't aware just how corosive their poisonous skin apparently was. She should have handled them with way more care, and she knew she had put herself in massive danger being so careless.. So that was why her hands tingled and had a few blisters here and there recently. She had thought it was just her skin doing skin things as it always does.

Now she felt hesitant to help the wild Salazzle. That was silly, she knew that. If touching her own ones didn't instantly kill her, this wild one would be fine too. It could attack though and do greater harm, not knowing these three humans were there to help it..

'Uh, of course.' She stepped towards the green haired stranger who had already started to do something to this trap. What, Ivy wasn't sure - she had been too occupied with her own thoughts. Her gaze fell upon the Pokemon by the same stranger's side. A strange one for sure. It looked... artificial.

Whatever! Who cares! Just concentrate!

'My Mabostiff might be able to help. Pewter?' Being called forward, the dog came closer, inspecting the spectacle. It didn't immediately help the other curious Pokemon freeing the wild Salazzle. 'Hold on, come on.' Emberassing! Ivy could barely make her new companion do such an easy task.

Iyy bent down to look at the Flittle she had caught. Luckily it had no injuries from the Mabostiff putting it in it's mouth unexpectedly like that.

Then, her attention was dragged somewhere else. She just managed to see it: Elise's Zorua transforming into a little bird. To see this type of transformation live! She wished she had recorded it, because before she could comprehend how it had worked it was already over and she was left staring, perplexed.

"Man, you caught a lot of wild ones today, didn't you? That's awesome!"

Under other circumstances Ivy would have loved to find out how these two people knew one another, but currently that was not as important to her. They could talk later once they had helped the wild animal.

"Over there." She pointed at where the Salazzle was laying, slightly hidden in the high grass around it. "I think it's stuck in a trap?" From this distance she wasn't sure, but then again, there definitely was something metallic with the Salazzle. Perhaps that was the cause of it's woes.

Her belly rumbling quietly, Ivy considered her options. She hadn't tried those Sandwiches from Paldea befofe, but somewhere in the back of her mind she remembered hearing about them at some point. Could be a good idea.

"Can you show me your phone?" Before waiting for an answer, she leaned over and put her hand on Velvet's property to see the food options on there. "I want a sandwich, how about you? What types do they have?"

Grabbing the wild Flittle - that Ivy had spotted - in it's jaw, Mabostiff made sure it couldn't run away. Though the view of him just holding this smaller Pokemon like a meal was bizarre, Ivy did throw a Pokeball at the Flittle, hoping for the best.

"I find Dark, Poison, Psychic, Fire, uh.. Fairy? I find those types really cool, but I mean, I don't want to stick to just one type."

Walking past the park, Ivy didn't notice the hurt Salazzle at first. That was until she heard a small sound, like grinding teeth or a scratching of some sort. Looking for the source, her blood froze. She couldn't help comparing Sally, her own Salazzle, to this hurt wild Pokemon that had just been dumped to suffer alone...

Looking around, Ivy tried to see if anyone else was also seeing this and might have an idea on how to help.
