Hearing the driver's words, Xia looks to her Sandshrew Illia, as her heart begins to pound even faster.

"OK Illia. I don't wanna do this, but you're our best bet. Since we're going up against Magnemite I need you to get their attention. Use Defense Curl and then Rollout into them. Get their attention . Hopefully they'll focus their attacks on you while keeping the heat off everyone else. You're a ground type so you should be safe. OK?"

Illia looks nervously at the truckbed at first, but then stares right back into Xia's eyes while pumping its arms and letting off a tiny grunt. It'll be hard hitting the Magnemites and Magnetons since they float in the air, but if Illia uses her tail to push against the ground during her roll, she can at manage to hit them. She's ready to fight for the trainer that raised her.

"OK." Xia gives her a hug and then turns to her friends, who were also caught up in this terrible mess. While she and Zahn are mostly ok with only minor bruises, their friends Esther and Roseia aren't as lucky. Esther has both of her legs broken and Roseia has a broken right arm, and her legs have also been immobilized with stun spores after they had an encounter with some wild Gloom. "Zahn I need you stay here. Look after Roseia and Esther. In their condition they can't do anything."

Zahn nervously agrees, but before Xia leaves, he grabs her arm. "Xia, please. Please be careful. I... I don't want you to get hurt."

Smiling back at him, she gives him a tight squeeze. "Don't worry Xanny. Your big sis can take care of herself."

"Wait! Take Qeno with you." He gestures towards a Kirlia, male, that has been huddled with Esther ever since they got picked up. Upon hearing his name, he makes a surprised cry. Go with another trainer? There was no way it would do that. He cries out in protest, but Zahn gives him a stern look. "Qeno. It's ok. I got Okami with me. Xia needs you. You have healing pulse. She and those other trainers might need it." He softens his expression a little and reassures Qeno. "Don't worry. I'll be fine. Right now, you can be most helpful getting rid of those Mags." Reluctantly he agrees. He absolutely hates the idea of leaving his trainer, and while he has met Xia several times over video chats and has grown somewhat fond of her, he still would rather not go off with her. It's in his nature as a Kirlia.

Suddenly Roseia speaks up too. "Xia, I might as well lend a hand too." She takes out a pokeball and in a flash of light, a machop appears outside of the truck bed, striking a strong pose. "Baeden. I need you to Focus your Energy and go with Xia and do whatever you can to protect her. Got it? Don't worry. Sonara can take care of me." At these words, the Machop immediately salutes his trainer. He feels uneasy about going off with some stranger, but if Roseia trusts someone enough to lend him to them, then he knows they can trust them too. He's always had faith in his trainer to make the right choice. He psychs himself up, arching his back and letting out a loud yell. He looks somewhat similar to some monkey man from an anime he watches with Roseia.

Esther too tries to lend her own pokemon, but is cut off. "Esther it's fine." Xia tells her. "I have enough help as is, and I can't stay here forever. Besides, you're pokemon won't be able to do much against these guys. They can stay here and help keep the rest of you safe. Don't worry guys. I'm not going anywhere. I still gotta stick around to take care of you dorks." And with a chuckle, she leeps of.

Quickly surveying the situation, she notices girl spasming on the ground, she immediately heads over to offers her help, and as soon as they fill her in, she tells Qeno to follow them inside and use healing pulse ASAP. Qeno wouldn't have been much help against steel-types, and the girl clearly needed the help. Meanwhile Illia follows her trainers instructions and use Defense Curl before rolling and propelling straight towards a magneton and right into the middle of the of the fight. "Alright Baeden. knock down one of those MagnemitesPsyched up and ready to fight,
