[I]'I wish I knew Swift, then range wouldn't matter with my attacks.'[/I] Pip thought, irritated at the fact he had no chance for striking at this foe. It was a learning experience, it certainly taught him he needed a better moveset, or perhaps strategy in general. Thinking about it would get him nowhere though, he had to do what he could, and strike this opponent for the sake of ending all the fighting so he could move on and help that Nidoran that was still waiting somewhere in the cave. 

Of course, not everything always goes as planned. Pip had been preparing to charge the enemy as he wasn't given many options, before pain came to him. Not knowing the cause, he simply grasped his head with both paws in pain. "W-What's causing that?!" He questioned, as it didn't seem to be coming from the Klefki at all. His answer wasn't by Jess, Venge, nor the criminal Klefki, it was by the sound of a Pokemon's cry, followed by a heavy force ramming strait into him. Being a light-weight took it's effect, and Pip could only let out a scream as the attack sent him flying, only to soon land and painfully skid along the rocks below him, the force enough to knock the poor little Pokemon through entire rooms. And to their surprise, past Isole and Lucio.

The two had continued waiting, expecting their teammate to be back soon. But soon both of them had wide-eyed expressions at the sight of the blur skidding across the ground, not completely sure of what had passed them. It was only when Pip came to a halt near the entrance they saw the small purple monkey laying there, not moving at all. The two of them stood, Isole making sure to grab the bag before they ran over to see if he was alright. Though the answer to that was rather obvious.

Pip could hardly keep his eyes open. The attack had did more damage than any attack Pip had ever experienced. The only feeling he had was the extreme amount of pain he felt in his back. "Oh, hey guys..." He commented, a groan following expressing the pain somewhat.

"What happened?!" Isole asked, glancing back to see if the cause was following. Thankfully it seemed that it wasn't, but she figured they should leave before it decided to finish the job. She looked back at Pip, only to see him fighting to keep his eyes open. She then went quiet, not wanting to stress him with having to answer.

"Don't fight it, Pip. We'll take you back to the Guild for some rest." Lucio commented, only worrying Pip about failure. A small frown was on Lucio's face, Pip could tell he was just as displeased, if not more. This certainly wasn't a job gone well, if anything, Pip didn't think it could have gone much worse. With a sigh, Pip gave in to the pain and fainted, breathing heavily and scarcely. "Trusted you to not get hurt." Lucio grumbled, picking Pip up and putting him over his shoulder. The only bright side was that the exit was right in front of them. 

Isole followed, saddened by the turn of events most certainly. "Are you sure we shouldn't try and go save the Nidoran?" Isole questioned softly, only getting a nod from Lucio, as they began travelling across the beach, and towards Wigglytuff's Guild. As Pip most certainly would require medical attention. Lucio personally didn't think about the cave anymore, or anyone inside it. He simply focused on making sure his team stayed as a trio, and didn't turn into a duo. 

[I]'Heh... Because what would we do without you?'[/I]
