Tomoe nodded back to Taka. "If there's a possibility of finding the others without risking more casualties, I am bound by duty to go after them. Now that being said, that all depends on the possibility, but we should decide quickly..."
Tomoe gripped her weapon. "That being said I have been sent here to perform the duty of protection first and foremost. And I don't know how much say I've got given how I've just merely appeared in the heat of battle. I assure you, I'm an ally."
She thought back to the feelings of loneliness she suffered in her childhood, how that anxiety persisted through her life; she did not want anyone to be stranded amongst a sea of enemies.
Her weapon was an asset, but it was just one, two, three people within a tidal wave. One does not stop a tsunami by throwing a stone at it. "I do not wish to be a hindrance to the group, so if we want to save the others, we're gonna have to work quickly and carefully. Is that plausible?"

While the Persian was distracted using Swift on Archie, Corphish sprayed a froth of bubbles at the cat, impacting it at the same point as the Growlithe's Ember. The bubbles fizzled into steam, creating a haze through which the feral feline could not see, which gave Corphish and Archie a distinct advantage. Corphish scuttled up, snapped its claws, and with both, used Vice Grip on Persian's tail. The cream-colored cat Pokémon yowled in pain, before slashing at Corphish and raking its claws across the crawdad's face. To take two facial lesions in one day was not an ideal situation for the Corphish, and as such, the Ruffian Pokémon was not a very happy camper.
Corphish flew into a frothing rage, giving Persian a terrible leering glare that caused the cat to give pause. It then pinched Persian's nose. The Basculin was only the first on its current hit list; now, it was cat clobbering time.
Persian turned and sprayed more star-shaped rays, this time directed towards Corphish. Corphish scuttled off to the side, but the rays appeared to bend towards it and strike it anyway. Corphish was worn down from a day of nothing but scrapping, but was determined to hang on for the sake of its crawdad dignity. It shielded its face with its pincers and gritted through the Persian's onslaught of mouth lasers, slowly pushing forth and taking a deep breath to squirt bubbles through any openings in the stars.
Fortunately for Archie, Corphish, and Bounsweet, the fruit Pokémon had a homing attack of its own. On Juana's command, Bounsweet lashed out at Persian with another Magical Leaf attack, before slamming into the cat's snout with a whirling Rapid Spin; it was not a strong move by any means, but one that would stop Persian from spewing Swift at Corphish for the moment.
Dewpider couldn't watch, but what it could do was continue helping Des free the Azurill from the stones. It gently wedged its spindly green arms into the space between Azurill and the rock, and wriggled a bit to help loosen the aqua mouse from its spot. Supposedly, it tickled, nut Dewpider couldn't worry about that when there were giant scary fishes waiting to kake a meal out of hapless aquatic Pokémon.

I'd been originally considering creating a mission involving an NPC who needed help breaking a fairy curse, but decided having it happen to Cici instead would be a chance to give her character development. Besides, in some stories, fairies are fascinated with music...
Yeah, this is probably going to become a mission later on, when it becomes clearer what's happening.
Calling that she is slowly turning into a were-Ribombee
Juana acknowledged Des, then turned and nodded to Dewpider. "Dewpider, get to the river and help Des out," she said.
Dewpider saw Des running out to the river, and immediately panicked. The spider skittered to the riverbank, knowing full well that vicious fish lived in there and could bite and tear at any non-fish out there; Dewpider did not want to see that.
Dewpider spotted Azurill, and swam into the river, dropping its water bubble helmet as it was back in liquid space. It stuck its head out of the water and sprayed a gentle jet of bubbles into the chink where Azurill had been nestled, easing the Normal/Fairy type out of the rocks. Dewpider, however, did not notice the Basculin swimming towards it, Azurill, and Des, hungry for flesh.
Corphish, however, did. It scuttled into the water and delivered a swift nip around the fish's neck area, before brutishly swinging Basculin out onto the grass. Corphish beat its chest.
"Bounsweet, help Archie with one of those Magical Leaf attacks of yours," Juana said, running after her fruit Pokémon. Bounsweet bounded along the path, before spinning its calyx and firing a storm of Magical Leaves at the Persian. Bounsweet gave Archie a quick chirp before rolling on the ground and facing the Persian.
