Regan paused so Sarah could more easily get the Abra off her back. That made it easier to pull herself the rest of the way out of the hole. She rolled to her feet, Kawaken's pokeball in her hand again already. "Yep. Step back. He's not pleased that we've interrupted him. [sub]It's his own fault, though...[/sub]"

Rapier was circling, watching the situation below. It seemed as though the situation had gotten more interesting. Regan was ready for a fight. Ah, but look there. Some young fool decided to get close. Good way to get hurt. The bird banked into a dive. The bug was so occupied with the hole in front of it, he didn't notice. Plucked him right up, said "[i]careful, now[/i]", and lifted quickly back to the sky.

"Good..." Bugs didn't mix well with rocks. And Rapier wouldn't eat bugs anyway. He preferred fish over everything, though rodents would do where fish were unavailable. "Keep your distance! Feel the ground shake?" He was charging through the tunnel he'd dug. Rather clumsily, if she took a guess. She had to wonder what he was gonna do about all those bubbles.

The Onix, to its credit, thought better of charging through the wall of bubbles, and instead decided to dig straight up and emerge immediately. The ground would shake as the large creature carved a path. The stone serpent emerged with a great roar, tossing a few rocks in the motion. The Ranger had kept herself close to the student under her care, and was able to swat away the stray rock that came toward them with her free hand.

Rapier touched down briefly behind the duo, depositing the Weedle before taking off again, circling the Onix and waiting for Regan's signal.
