[color=#d3381c]"Geh!"[/color] Upon seeing the hole in the back of the podium just large enough for a zigzagoon to fit through, Claire comically flinched backwards. Well that was disappointing! Outsmarted by a simple zigzagoon, she was! That was...well, kinda funny to be honest. If it had been anyone else but her, she'd have laughed at their silliness. Being on the receiving end herself though? Yea, she could do without that, heh. The redhead didn't get long to ponder it, though.

As soon as the two feet outside hit the ground, Ralia struggled out of Claire's arms, landing on the floor with surprising grace and immediately using Double Team.

[color=#d3381c]"R-ralia?"[/color] Claire, was obviously surprised. She hadn't noticed the other girl at all - and when she did, she knew this was the moment, that she fucked up. At least Ralia was on top of things. [color=#d3381c]"O-oh heeeey. Uh, nice weather we're having, huh? The cloudiness is really, um...edgy, heh."[/color] Well, when Claire was nervous at least it was easy to tell. She talked more than usual. She didn't really know what the other girl was saying about 'Greed' 'Sadistic' and 'Terrible', she was clearly being attacked here and she didn't have much time to think about it.

It was about this time the other redhead told her pokemon to attack. Confusion, Meditate, and Bubble. The bubble attack spread across the entire shrine, threatening to hit all of them, and Claire only had a few moments to react. Ralia and her clones were doing her best to dodge them, but the tiny pokemon wasn't the most acrobatic.

[color=#d3381c]"Ritz! Del! Come on you guys, we're not gonna give up just from a little ambush!"[/color] Alright, first things first...this shrine was wayyy to small to fight in. It'd give them a major, major advantage, especially considering the Bubble attack from the froakie. She'd have to look for an opening - or make one, and she had a pretty nifty idea to help with that.

Weedle wasn't the fastest of pokemon, but it could slow down other pokemon with stringshot. If it could do it out of the other pokemon's reach, then it'd mean they'd be easily dealt with. She reached into her pocket, where Del was peeking out of it, wearing an expression that pretty much read 'NOPE, F THIS, I'M OUT', and she could feel Ritz trembling on her back. The poor thing was definitely scared, wasn't it? She pulled Del out, setting him on her head, earning a few surprised cries from the pokemon.

[color=#d3381c]"Ritz, come on boy."[/color] She quietly spoke. [color=#d3381c]"We got this, alright? Just need a little luck and we can pull this off. Now, grab Del and avoid those bubbles! Del, hit 'em with Stringshot as much as you can!"[/color] At least upon hearing Claire's orders, the small ladybug pokemon flapped its wings, pulling itself off of Claire's back and reaching up and grabbing Del from off of her head. Del, protested only a tiny bit before letting itself be picked up by the larger pokemon.

There still wasn't much room to maneuver around not be hit, but hopefully with a little luck they could make an opening with this.

[color=#d3381c]"Ralia, keep using Double Team and see if you can use an occasional Growl, but focus on dodging and drawing their attention!"[/color] They needed them to be weak as they could possibly be. It likely wouldn't work so well on Froakie, but that Mienfoo needed to have its attack lowered back ASAP.

As long as Meditite didn't get a confusion off on Del, then this could be easily dealt with. If she could slow them down and maybe get a few confused with supersonic from Ritz, then she could likely at least get out of here easily enough and fight outside where she had much more room to maneuver. If she and her pokemon could wait for the right moments to attack then this could be dealt with easily, yeah? No? Maybe?

....now where was Lure? She could easily handle two fighting types, couldn't she? Ugh, the damn bug-type was going to give her no end of problems, wasn't she?

The pokemon in question was fluttering outside the shrine, completely ignoring her trainer. The small bee pokemon had pretty much figured this was the way this was going to go, and had no desire to be a part of some foolishly foolish fools shenanigans. Instead, it was enjoying a rather breezy, calm, day outside of the shrine, munching on some of the honey it previously found.

This was her honey, and no one else's.

So delicious~

The little bee looked like it was enjoying itself at least.
