[color=#FFFACD]'A-ah...'[/color] Why? Why were they still fighting? Why had Yasha ran forward and taken that attack? They weren't defending anyone but themselves. They had nothing to lose by running. They were new trainers facing an experienced one, nobody would expect them to win. It was much more sensible to go tell adults about the problem. This wasn't how he had imagined his Pokémon journey to start out. Not at all.

Yasha was facing the opposing trainer. Kira was still facing the Dwebble. He didn't know how Yasha would do, but he did know that Dwebble had the advantage over Kira. And this time, there was nobody defending between Kira and a fully-powered Fury Cutter... This was a bad match-up, Fury Cutter was now a high-level move, and as it was, Rowan was useless...

Rowan made his decision. There was no time. He wasn't brave enough to rush into the way like Yasha had, but he could do this. He quickly let his bag slide off his back and then grabbed it by a rem. His hand sought and retrieved the Dogwood Pokéball from the easy-access side-pocket.

He threw the bag. He threw it at where he predicted the opposing Pokémon would be on Dwebble's path to Kira when it landed before actually coming into contact. Regardless of if Dwebble dodged the bag or just shred right through it, the moment would hopefully distract it long enough for Kira to get the advantage once more. … That, or maybe Rowan would just completely botch his aim, that was always a possibility.

[color=#FFFACD]'I-I'LL BE BACK!'[/color] Rowan spun around on the spot, and dashed for the trees that were located around behind him. Even if he didn't necessarily see them... There could be Taillows in them! THERE COULD BE! While without Purrloin he had no chance of weakening one... Taillow was still a low-level Pokémon! It should be possible to catch one without weakening it...! I-if he could quickly catch one and get back... if... IF...

Of course, the entire battle could very likely be over already by the time he came back. That... was a risk he had to take. Because as it was, there was nothing else he could think of doing.
