Two words could describe the way this fight was going: [i]absolute disaster.[/i]

In dismay, Hapu realized that this was literally an uphill battle, for she in the chaos of the skirmish she and Samus had been ordered in the wrong direction. “Mudsdale, stop!” Hapu called. Soon after, Hapu saw the shots Oswald had deflected towards her. In this state, she and Mudsdale would not be able to dodge out of the way, unless...

"Mudsdale, come back!” Hapu stated, leaping off the horse and diving out of the way of the shots while simultaneously pulling out Mudsdale's Poké Ball. In a red flash, Mudsdale scattered into light and retreated to the Poké Ball, which Hapu thenclutched close to her. She rolled on the ground, grunting a bit as she broke her fall. She then stood up, dusting her knees off. Her body ached a bit, but she's had to deal with rougher.

She turned to her teammates. “It does not appear that projectile weaponry is an effective strategy,” she pointed out. “Our shots simply will return towards us.

Then, Luigi gave the orders to strike at Brigan.

Hapu, of course, did not hold a high opinion of the giant anyhow. As a Pokémon trainer, Hapu was from a world that valued the virtue of honor, especially in battle. And if this ogre of a man saw characters like Luigi as mere pawns, means to an end, well... The rules certainly have changed.

“Then we engage him on our own terms,” Hapu said in response.

Hapu ran towards the stairwell, and after Samus fired off her round at Brigan, Hapu tossed her Poké Ball and Mudsdale appeared, sailing through the air.

"High Horsepower," she instructed, pointing to the treacherous Brigan. It was a gamble indeed; were the horse's strike not to work, she might end up with a dead Pokémon, which meant that she would be dead weight for the rest of what little time would remain for her in this squad. Mudsdale landed with a thud, then galloped up the stairs, before turning around and launching both its legs towards the backs of Brigan's knees.
