RUBY: here, stun seed!

RUBY: ouka, nova, go ahead and get the golden ball! i'll take it from here. OUKA: Gotcha!! Nova nods as the two of them approach the gold nugget, keeping it safe from the phantom Pokemon.

RUBY: alright buddy, there's no need for so much violence. we just want to help! MURAMASK: Liaagh... HONK! RUBY: i understand you're in pain, but we'll help you get better! you just have to calm down, and we'll escort you to capim. you just need to trust--

Ruby's eyes widen as she witnesses the Muramask getting pelted by poisonous daggers.

MURAMASK: HOOAAAAaaargh...! RUBY: huh?! ENVY: weak

As the waterfowl Pokemon falls, the culrprit shows herself.

ENVY: all four of you were as wimpy as i expected ENVY: don't know why i got my hopes up RUBY: what the h... what was that for?! they were subdued! ENVY: as far as you knew, glasses ENVY: you get a rampaging wild one in your face and the first thing you do is try and giving it the heart of the cards speech? ENVY: that's why you're weak, like that feral lying at our feet

Ruby grits her teeth, the disrespect getting to her nerves. Ouka and Nova approach the scene right after, the treasure fully secured.

OUKA: Hey, who's this?? RUBY: someone who i'd rather not have here right now! A fade of a smirk appears in Envy's face. ENVY: oh is that the slightest hint of anger i feel ENVY: where was that intensity before when it mattered? OUKA: This girl is rude as hell!! Ruby, don't let her get to you!! Nova lets out a growl. Clearly the Nidoran wasn't giving them good vibes, either.

ENVY: so the rest of the peanut gallery is chiming in too ENVY: you should be more grateful that i even decided to swoop in and do the job for yourselves ENVY: i'm doing it for free you know... ENVY: besides all that sweet, sweet experience RUBY: you didn't do jack squat! all your sadistic ass did was put down a faller that we already had under control! we could have helped them!! Ruby clenches her fists, more frustrated than usual but clearly trying to control herself. Similarly, the Nidoran frowns as her stoic attitude begins to crack under the Ledyba's criticism. ENVY: listen here straw hat you almost got you and your friends' heads lopped off just a few minutes ago ENVY: these weird fake pokemon just pop out of nowhere and start causing destruction and shit completely unprompted ENVY: and your first instinct is "oh i can fix them" ENVY: this whole pacifism babble is gonna get you seriously hurt sooner than later when these ferals keep attacking

Envy, still witnessing the conflict from a comfortable spot, tries to scan the new Pokemon with her D-Nexus.

ENVY: no info huh ENVY: i wonder ENVY: how will these three fare?

As she grins, the combatants in the distance waste no time in charging towards the Muramask.

OUKA: Come on!! NOVA: Grr! RUBY: wait, you two, watch ou--

The duo just barely manage to dodge the Wild Goose Pokemon's Air Slash and avoid getting cleaved in half.

MURAMASK: LIGGAAAAGH! OUKA: Eep

The surrounding stones and foliage aren't so lucky, something Ouka is not happy to find out.

OUKA: GEEZ!!

OUKA: I didn't sign up for this!! RUBY: i think you very much did... Ruby fiddles with her hat, thinking. RUBY: alright, find some way to distract them! OUKA: U-Uh, sure!! NOVA: Danger!

Rapidly, the wild Pokemon jumps to strike with their sharpened spring onion...

...Which Nova stops with a Light Screen just in time.

OUKA: Wow, that's really cool!! RUBY: yes, now's my chance!

A familiar Nidoran looks on from the distance, quietly smiling to herself.

ENVY: huh ENVY: now this i want to see

Briefly enveloped in a light like they so desired, the Farfetch'd evolves into what would be its next form.

MURAMASK: LIIIIIGHT!

The gang looks in a mix of confusion and awe.

RUBY: but that shouldn't be... RUBY: ...hm. i guess i should have expected this to happen... OUKA: Wait, you know something?? How can a Farfetch'd evolve like that??

RUBY: we've been finding a number of fallers that don't seem to belong to any familiar species... RUBY: i wonder if whatever is the cause of their condition is causing an unnatural evolution? or maybe... RUBY: maybe, wherever they come from... this is just something that occurs naturally? OUKA: Damn it, we can't stay put thinking like this, that guy is glaring right at us!! OUKA: Let's go, Nova!! We'll fight!! NOVA: Ok
