Considering all the things that are happening, If I changed Martin's words, It would be waiting on the phantom event that is attacking as he was intercepting. So unless those also disappeared, the best post I could reasonably manage would be backing off after the events. So, I'll wait for @PlatinumSkink post before the next one. Martin is a bit too hot headed here to change plans in the middle of the attack. Also, taking a hit is part of the plan, so the show must go on. It will change after your post though. Got to finish that status effect/heal follow up. It won't be followed up with another command though.

I think I got where this confusion came from. I got the impression he was pointing to the girl next to him and saying she stole it. Might seem silly now to look back on it, but yeah. I thought I read it right, whoops.
Martin Price
Martin was so sure this was Team Virtue up until the man mentioned that the lady was Team Virtue. So there were two different groups in here? This was getting confusing what was so special for them both to be here. He didn't have much time as this was the middle of a battle, and they were fighting back. Venipede and Houndour were getting targetted. This didn't sit well with Martin, who had the means to set the bar straight again.
"Goldeen, intercept the Water Gun attack, and save Houndour. Follow it up with Supersonic on Shieldon. Nincada, stop the Tackle from Shieldon and heal it with Leech Life on Poliwag. Who uses a Pokemon as bait for an escape?" Martin had a lot of questions he could have asked, but was distracted thinking about the best possible strategy in this puzzle of a fight. Water can clash with water, while Nincada can take a few hits. If they both took hits from one Pokemon, they could then change directions and switch attack to the other. This was a bit improvised, but it should line up the types a lot better. His worry was that they might be too slow to pull this off like he expected.
Nincada gave another nod, moving as fast as his legs could carry him to get between Shieldon and Veniped to take the hit. He then ran towards Poliwag, his mouth opening up for a meal. Goldeen dove back into the water, followed by leaping into the air, towards the Water Gun attack. She was braced for the attack, already preparing to generate sound waves at Shieldon. Martin gave a smile looking towards Lucian, "I'll cover the defense, you focus on attack. Being ganged up on is a pretty bad situation. A couple of hits is fine with me, but my patience won't last much longer if I don't get a better story from those two."

Dan
Hyrule Castle- Inner City District
Dan's departure off of the caravan was already a strange thing to experience and for the Hylians seeing him. Two small children ran over to him, curious to see a Deku. Dan was slightly taken back, one foot moving backwards, head scanning for a way out of here. Carefully looking for a way out yielded him a few small things of note. There was a gorgeous Zora on the side of the road talking to some kind of Leaf Knight. That was an interesting sight for Dan to see. Not the Knight, as that wasn't interesting. The dress the Zora was in got his attention. The children approached him, questions ready and armed to overwhelm. "What is that thing?" "Some kind of plant." "Do you think it can talk?" The children were talking about him, without addressing him. Dan turned away from them, as a crowd was not his type of thing. Not easy to say considering he jumped on a caravan with a large group of people earlier. Two of them were busy looking for something.
Dan was considering his bag of tricks to get rid of nosy children. Missing people were normal back home, and it was a delight to cause. "I think it's broken. Hey Mr. Plant, can you speak?" Dan turned his head back, they were talking to him. He looked towards them, the smaller child hiding behind the taller one. "I can speak. I'm also not a plant." They both took a jump back. "Mr. Plant can speak, I knew it." "Hey keep back, what if it's dangerous?" What a delight to hear them fearing him for a change. Dan shook his leaves in the wind, trying to look intimidating. The smaller child ran away, with the tall one still standing, "You don't scare me." His legs shook, but he didn't let his voice shake. How curious to see. "You should go find the other one instead of standing there."
The boy looked back to realize he was alone. He took off, already running to catch up with the other child. "Hey! Get back here, don't leave me alone." Dan would have given a sigh, but it wasn't important. The Leaf knight looked interesting, and he was with these people for a while. Dan spoke up to the group still stretching from the trip. "Hey, who are those people? Also, where was these people you were looking for?
Gah, I wrote this before, but hit cancel instead of save. I forgot to actually write it a second time. Sorry for the long delay, but I finally got mine in. It's probably as good as the first post I erased.

Nincada did his best, swinging wide at the person in question, but he stubbornly held onto the Ducklett. They pulled out their pokeballs, the multiple flashes of light revealing more Pokemon coming to their defense. Was Martin off with his assumption? They didn't immediately attack back, but were staying on defense. He pulled out his Pokedex to scan the potential opponents, while giving a basic command to Nincada. If this was a fight, he needed to be ready. "Nincada, get away from that attack and use Harden. What are you two doing with a Pokemon that's not yours? I hope you have a better answer than you found it. It doesn't look to happy to be with you." Martin was thinking which Pokemon would be a good choice here. He had a Water type and a Grass type available. Nincada was already ready to go, and he doubted they were going to be polite about this.
Nincada did as it was told, jumping back a small distance, and running back the rest of the way. He braced his body for incoming attacks, trying to look intimidating in response to the Leer attack. It didn't look that good, as his expression was still as blank as ever. It could have been happiness for all anyone knew. He looked around at the sudden appearance of all the new Pokemon looking at him. Martin got the same sentiment, being outnumbered wasn't going to end well. He reached for his belt and called out Goldeen. There was a stream on the side, which would be great to cover with his new Pokemon. Goldeen dove elegantly into the water, surfacing again to look around her new environment. "Goldeen, use Tail Whip on Klink. Cover the waters, but stay close to Nincada. Nincada, watch out for lightning." Martin was also setting up in case this went south.

Martin followed the sound of voices along with the others, hearing the back half of a conversation. He would have loved to hear all of it, but only Nincada would know the secrets, unable to share the words. He didn't have much time to figure out what was happening, but it might be Team Virtue. They had a Pokemon with them, probably stolen. He wasn't going to idly stand by an let such a crime occur. They came around the corner, one of them a girl, and the other was a guy restraining a Ducklett. He saw and heard enough to make a decision right there. He had Nincada out right now, that should be good enough.
Martin looked at Nincada, and pointed at the two strangers and gave a command. "Nincada, free that Pokemon from those two. Use Scratch to make an opening, but don't hit the people. Thieves would do well to not take from others." Nincada gave a nod and ran forward towards the the two people, with claws raised in the air. He ran at the man restraining the Ducklett, aiming for the arm holding the Pokemon. If he got close enough, he would miss, going by to turn around for another command. Martin didn't want to hurt people, not if this was just a really bad coincidence. If this went well, the Pokemon would have a chance to get away, and he would make sure they didn't keep it. He was acting without thinking about the situation, but Team Virtue never sat well with him.

Dan was taken back by how quickly Rin was offering for him to join them. They were nice enough, and it was in favor of going somewhere different. He was going to think it over until he heard mention of getting back before the finals. He might see that Goron's last fight, wait. Why did he care about someone's fight. He shook his head, need to stay back from caring. One move from him could end up with a squashed Deku. Dan gave a few hops, shaking himself out of his thoughts. They were speaking, focus. There was mention of a carriage. He never been on one of those before, and curiosity took over quickly. He followed behind the group to the carriage they were talking about. Maybe this was a good day to come here, he could feel it.
He had a thought cross his mind, there was mention of someone with a scary title. He had to ask Rin on the way, catching up to him as they walked. "Who is Jaques the Ripper? I'm not from around here or know much of the events." He was talking before his thoughts caught up to him. Was he walking into a fight? Considering the amount of people, it wasn't likely to go that bad. Nothing ventured, nothing gained from running away at this point. "What is your name? People call me Dan. Looks like we'll be traveling together for a while."

Martin took a bit to think about the choices. On the left was the sound of people, so it could be anyone having a conversation. To the right was just a path Dawkin took earlier. "We'll take the left path. If it's not what we're looking for, at least it's the shorter path. Nice to know we both don't really know the area. We'll just have to keep an eye out for things along the way. Come on, Nincada. We got places to be." Nincada continued his tradition of a simple nod, making Martin wonder if it understood what he was saying. Still, it was good enough to be a team, so he wasn't going to complain. The other person already took his leave, which was fine by him. No need to feel obligated to follow others around. Goldeen was a fresh catch, so he would probably count on his other two Pokemon.
Martin took the left path, checking back to make sure Dawkin was following. "Alright, Nincada. Use your sense of hearing and follow the sounds of distant voices. Even if you can't see, that means you should be better with other senses." Nincada stepped in front of Martin, following for the sounds of other people. Deep in thought, making occasional stops to listen again. This should make it easier to find whoever was this way.
Martin was following Dawkin. Ah, the drawbacks of not knowing where you're going in a hurry.
