[color=#FFFACD]'Kh...'[/color] Rowan made an annoyed and troubled sound at that he and Purrloin hadn't gotten there in time to save Lulu. However, he could make it up to him.

Mara acted first. Rowan blinked a little at her strategy. That... that wasn't something Rowan would have thought of, and neither was it something he'd expect would work. However, IF it was something that could work, it was in his best interest not to attack the Dwebble right now. He was pretty sure the Pokémon and Trainer had a particular connection, but...

[color=#FFFACD]'Purrloin! Don't take initiative! Watch the opponent's moves, and do your best to dodge any attack aimed at you, and counter-attack as it pulls back! If the opponent attacks Kira, intercept with a scratch!'[/color]

[color=#856B90]'Rrloin!'[/color] Purrloin acknowledged, kind of amused by Mara's tactic, and jumped to place herself so she was in a better position to possibly intercept an attack while not actually being in the actual route towards Kira, herself graceful and ready to analyse an enemy attack to dodge or intercept. Alright, Rowan thought. Now, if Dwebble was actually swayed, Purrloin didn't need to do anything. Rowan turned to Yasha with a smile.

[color=#FFFACD]'Don't worry, we got this! All thanks to you and Lulu! Without its shell, Dwebble is just a bu-'[/color] [i][b]BUG[/b][/i]. Rowan's expression suddenly paled, his eyes widening in worry upon realizing. Both Purrloin and Kira were weak to [i][b]BUG[/b][/i]. This [i][b]BUG[/b][/i] was super-effective against every single one of the three trainers' Pokémon. This... this [i][b]BUG[/b][/i]...!

This was the second time in a row that Purrloin had to face a [i][b]BUG[/b][/i]. If this journey was to continue, Rowan would have to find a counter other than Purrloin to face [i][b]BUG[/b][/i]s. What Purrloin was weak to, was [i][b]BUG[/b][/i] and Fighting... To counter those...

[color=#FFFACD][i]I need a bird.[/i][/color]

With that, Rowan spun around on the spot and focused his eyes intently on point 1A where there could still possibly be a Taillow around him right now. They had gutsy spirits and were brave Pokémon, right? One could possibly have come close by being attracted by the intense battle with intention of watching and maybe dreaming of being part of it, right!?
