Axia immediately began evading the blades as best she could, but was still hit managed to get hit. While it didn't pierce her scales, it did send her flying. She was winded by the strike, but was able to turn her body in mid-air so she landed on her feet. John. having dropped his pebbles as soon as the girl had fallen, knew that he had gotten himself in a tough fight. And he'd be lying if he didn't think it was awesome. 

"No problem," he yelled back to the girl in response to her question, "I live for this kind of stuff. Axia, take this and do the Devil's Spiral." Upon speaking he threw 3 oran berries he had on hand to his partner, who jumped up to eat them, feeling energy flow into her body from the restorative berries. Upon landing she began to move in a evasive, yet aggressive dance around the Groudon, keeping an eye out for any other attacks from the beast. As she danced,she began to get progressively faster the longer she kept it up. John watched patiently, unclipping his shield from his back, and putting it on, in case he needed to get involved to save Axia from getting to hurt.

Sebastian smiled at the girl's beaming response and instant belief, but frowned at her Pokemon's reaction. Seemed like it didn't quite trust them as completely as the girl did. He said nothing, however, as his attention was brought to a spot in the trees edging the forest. He quickly turned his attention back to the girl, but kept a note to be on alert. He could have sworn he had heard something, and might have seen something as well, but he wasn't sure.

"Guess your right. In that case, let me introduce myself. My name is Sebastian, I'm just a traveler, spending most of my time in the woods with pokemon. I haven't been able to capture and tame my own, sadly. I've tried but they always seem to allude me. I'm sorry if I'm a burden because of my lack of one." He said with a convincingly melancholic look on his face. And it wasn't like he was totally lying, he had never captured nor tamed a Pokemon, just formed a partnership with one. Speaking of, he noticed a small strip of green flying through the sky, towards an unknown destination. 

Quazar, probably off to settle a dispute between a couple of shroomish or something, what with all of his 'protect the balance' crap. HE couldn't help but thing of the Legendary as a Self-righteous asshole sometimes.
