Dugtrio did all that he could and all that he knew how to do. Specifically, digging. He went back and forth as directed, carving out tunnels and canals in order to channel the lava away just as he was told to do. Even as it rose and became all the more damaging and flowing, he continued on. It was what his trainer would expect of him, and he couldn't let their new home get destroyed by lava.

"Dug, dug!" So he plowed along, doing his best to create channels and canals, to funnel it away, even if it was a losing effort in the process. That was before he saw what happened with Terra, earning a cry of alarm from the Pokemon as she was nearly consumed, only to be saved at the last second, before that salvation knocked her unconscious.

He worked quick, cutting off the flow of lava that he was working on before tunneling over to her. "Dugtrio," he called, popping out of the ground as he presented the tunnel, widening it as best he could before diving beneath once more. He would lead Beck to the city if the Vibrava was willing to follow, and if not he would simply return to what he had been doing. He had made the offer, and whether it was taken advantage of was not up to him.

"Ah hell," Kevin groaned to himself as he witnessed the chaos and the devastation, the rocks that came slamming down and the people running in panic. He had done his job, but it had all descended into chaos when this place started going up. There was even property being destroyed! So much for moving here, it seemed. "I just have the worst luck."

Still, it was obvious that someone had to do something, and the police weren't being very effective at that. He was loathe to stand out, but he couldn't just stand by and let people get trampled and killed, now could he? It wouldn't exactly help that resolve to start a new life that he had set for himself, now would it?

So he marshaled his will and courage. "Alright, everyone calm down and proceed in an orderly fashion that way!" He gestured away from the volcanic eruption even as he elevated himself. "If anyone has ground or fire type pokemon, send them to go help with the lava. IF you have flying or psychic types, we need them to take care of the rocks. Lets go!" Whether they listened though, that was another story.
