[@Pink Madness] [@Masterkeun] [@jagajac] [@pkken] 

	Richard found himself surrounded. He had his back to a pointed wall, and enemies all around. The pinsar was caught, and now the others were out for metaphorical blood. He knew if he kept fighting, it'd only end up with his friend being mauled by the numerous other pokemon around. He saw no way to win, and despite him thinking he had the high ground in a moral sense, all he had was pain coming on the battlefield. Taking a deep breath, Richard reached down, and picked up his Ekans, gently working the sand out from around his friend's eyes. What he said next would harm his pride, and maybe mark him as a coward, but he wouldn't let his friend suffer for his ideals.
	"Fine. You all win. This battle was over before I even stepped into it." Richard grumbles, carrying his friend away. "Although, don't expect me to pay either of you for this. Punks that like you all won't get a single zeni from me." Richard growls, walking across the bridge again. He was heading back towards town, from the look of thing. He seemed angry, and a tad upset, as he stomped off.
