"Hey!" protests Thel, as Omega snatches up one of the spheres. The Lady Joy had given them to him. Who was this one to counteract her? He eventually gives up on protesting, though, as he certainly can't tell where the others had gone. Lady Muku could be in danger, and, loathe as he was to have to let the issue lie, he needs this one to help. The forest itself is a strange thing to him. So green, and lush. So many places to hide, so many sounds. Not at all like the mountains, where any trees were scarce, and boulders and ridges were the places to hide for the most part. Where is the nice hard stone? Everything's so squishy here... smells different, too. Perception: 4

Huffing breaths heave from Muku's body as she finally catches up to the strangely quick giant man. "K-Kursz... A-are you ok?" She asks, uncharacteristically quiet. This place was just... Scary. If this was her normal environment, maybe she would be ok, but the whole idea of that she shouldn't be here was a bit strong. A shiver runs down her spine. So cold.
Her eyes dart about.
Wait. Where was the rest of the flock? Oh no! All at once, her body becomes small. N-no. She couldn't bear to be alone like this! At least she had Kursz! She could trust Kursz not to run, right? Right? Ngahh! No! No she couldn't! Scanning the area, she looks about for something friendly; anything friendly to help her startled soul!
Muku makes a general Perception roll to not be alone with this manbug who may or may not leave her again! N|AY9y|A3d63d6

Omega holds up one hand " We will need to be quiet. That way nothing else finds us and we can hear them. I expect Muku to make this easy, and Kursz shouldn't be much harder to find." Once we drops his hand to his side, he is totally silent. He does his best to hear where they are, to smell the path forward, but both of his senses feel dulled, as though he was trapped beneath a river, the water keeping him from his full potential. However his eyes didn't fail him and the duo had left a path forward that a pup on their first hunt could follow. His nose still twitched from habit, but he continued to point out the trail as they headed deeper in. 11 perception

"I... Idunno..." He mumbled from in his hiding place. "Everything was loud and people were smashing things and it's really hot out. I'm leaking water and I feel sick..." There was a series of dull cracks as he slid to the ground and pulled his hood back again, just breathing.
Muku notices a pink blob with leafy dealies tumbling along in a low gust that pushes through the trees. It doesn't seem to mind it much, just going any way the wind will take it, finally coming to rest against a rock with a chubby yellowish orange creature, with pudgy black mitten like hands and a round belly. The two exchange greetings, or so it would seem. A third pokemon, insect-like with large, shining eyes, a long proboscis, and tiny wings joins them. This place is truly rife with life. A comfortable and happy (and clearly safe) location.
Omega sees the other half of the scene, where a small blue lynx-like pokemon, and a purple and blue scorpion hunker in the bushes. Claws at the ready, they seem to be preparing an ambush in tandem.
"Thel, I don't suppose I could have one of those too? Just in case...?" Em asked with a small hint of nervousness, as oblivious as her friend to the coming carnage.

"Oh, of course, Lady Em," Thel says, almost tripping over himself to give one to her. "You needn't even ask."
"Is that them up ahead?" he questions, peering forwards. There are so many unfamiliar sounds and smells and sights and... everything here. And it's all rather worrying, because (as far as he's been able to tell) he no longer has either his poison or his fire... so what's even left? There is a strange beauty in the scene, though. "Lady Muku?" he calls forwards, tentatively.

"Oh! Look at that!~! Food!" Muku exclaims loudly, no control over the volume of her voice whatsoever. Her eyes have spotted a familiar prey, the lovely pink balls of flying flesh! She dashes over with happy footsteps and twists Kursz suddenly to look at the creatures. "Ah! Such tender looking flesh and greeny vines! Smiles so soft! Eyes so small! So delicious and..."
The word choked in her throat. Cute. N-no. That wasn't right. Cute? No. It was food. Food was food. It was delicious. It was good. It was cute. No! There was that word again!
"Nggggggggggggggggggh~..." Muku moans holding onto Kursz tightly and hugging him. "W-what is this feeling? I don't get it! I don't know if I like having thoughts like this... I want to eat it... But it just looks so... Cute!!!"

"Thel, throw the other two those balls" Omega calls out with some authority, taking a few steps forward "Get ready. Looks like we stumbled upon a little hunting party."
He tossed the ball up and down in his hand while eyeing the blue Pokemon "I'm not really sure how these things work, but they're what make the humans so strong right? Well, now we're the strong ones"
It felt weird acting like he had any sort of authority. Omega knew that none of them had to listen to him, and Thel probably would fight him on this, shouting about how the Ladies should be commanding him and not vice versa. But none of them had seen those Pokemon, none of them were ready for a fight. He clenched his fist tight as he lowered himself nearer to the ground, shrinking himself to be less of a target. He would strike fast, and he would take this one as his own. That was the first step to being an Alpha

Em thanks Thel for the ball, and Muku doesn't seem to hear him.
Kursz gives Muku a confused stare, letting his attention wander to the pink thing she kept calling food. It did look edible, but he was used to scavenging to eat. It was very much moving and smiling, and making small noises. It seemed harmless enough. Harmless was a nice word, it left him feeling stronger then it, which encouraged a degree of boldness. Then again, it was with two other Pokemon, and that was two too many.
Omega's shout seems to be the starting bell for the ambush, the predators unwilling to lose out on their unwitting meals because of an interloper or two! The lynx and the scorpion move into the clearing and settle into combative stances, their covers already blown.

"You aren't the boss of me," Thel snaps back at Omega, stepping more into the clearing, towards Muku. Well, and Kursz.
He eyes the predators that apparently had been plotting something. Without his fire and poison, he doesn't know what he can do... but, as long as Lady Muku and Lady Em might be in danger, he will stay. "Lady Muku," he calls. "Catch these!" Once it seems like she's established eye contact with him, and is expecting the throw, he does his best to use the long gangly arms of his to get the pair of extra spheres he has over to her.

Surprise attack! Screee! Predators from the bushes! "Don't worry Kursz, I'll protect you!" Muku cries, attempting to stow the poor damsel in a nearby bush for safety. Throwing her arms out in a wide arc to her sides as she starts to scree and- Oh, wait. Thel.
An awkward exchange follows. He was saying something, but she was all up in fight mode; and you know, it just took a bit. Fight mode isn't easy to exit and he wasn't making much sense. Something about... Balls? What? Muku didn't need any balls! Muku needed violence and- Oh, but he was being so politely insistent about it! This was somehow important. By the end of this whole charade, she was at least somewhat ready to having something lightly tossed at her. She kicks up her talons and makes a solid attempt to catch them with her feet talons. What she fails to account for is the fact that they are now thick clubs and not grabbing instruments.
Her body, already imbalanced by the crazed outstretching of the arms, does not react well to this new addition of flailing legs. Muku tilts backwards fatally, tail over teakettle, and falls onto the earth as the Pokéballs soar on.
Whoops...

"I may not be the boss of you, but I'm the only one who noticed these things were there. It would do well to listen to others sometimes Thel" He was tired of the once lizard constantly ignoring direction because he wasn't one of the females. The lizard hadn't noticed the hunters, too busy praising the very ground the women walked on. Bah, it made him sick. "Though good job telling one of the women what to do. I didn't think you had it in you" He grins wolfishly once he implants the thought into Thels head before rushing forward towards the blue feline.
This body was bigger than his own. Since he didn't have his fangs or his claws anymore, he would have to make due with what this form could leverage. As he moved forward he felt his leg muscles tense and he knew it, he was stronger than before. The longer limbs were packed with tight muscles and even if he couldn't rip or tear, he could smash and bash. Once he made it to the Pokemon he reared one of the arms back, the hand tensed into a fist, and swung with all his might

Kursz was slightly heartened by Muku's words. She had come all the way out into the woods for him. He looked up, startled as she impressively fell out of the way of one of those spheres the humans used. It didn't look like a gentle fall! A big hand closed around the Pokeball instinctively before it hit him. Nothing happened. He looked down at it, felt how smooth and hard it was, poked the rubber nub on the edge of it, and felt the seam. It was nice, he supposed. Wait.
It didn't do anything to him! One less thing he didn't have to be afraid of! He silently cheered, basking in the afterglow of the moment.
The Pokemon began trading blows as Omega entered the fray. (Break, Initiative and an actual roll please. Everyone else should give me initiative.)

Thel winces as Muku falls out of the way of the spheres. Ah, well. She must have had a good reason... oh, wait. She wasn't there when the Lady Joy explained that they needed to be activated first. Oops. He feels like such an idiot, and just wants to slink off in shame. But he cannot. They might be in danger, in these unfamiliar bodies. "I did not tell her what to do!" Thel protests, hastily, to Omega. "I merely issued a warning, so that she would be prepared to react to my throw."
While he may not know how to fight like this, he'll still try his best. Which... hopefully is enough. At least he's much bigger than these Pokémon, now. That's unusual, at least with regards to his usual predators. He moves towards Lady Muku, not quite sure what to do, looking over the proceedings to figure out exactly what's going on. Information first, only fight at an advantage... unless one of the ladies tells him otherwise, that is.

As Thel yells back at him, Omega ignores it. This is no longer a time for arguments. This is a hunt and he was the hunter. His fist connects with the top of the Pokemons head with a crack and he slips a growl out from behind a grin. This body was new but it was his now, and this proved that he could use it to fight, to hunt. This would be easier if he wasn't fighting alone, but he wasn't really expecting any of the others to join in, other than maybe Muku, but she seemed to be a little preoccupied being...on the ground. It's fine. He could handle this. He looked around and realized there were more than just the two hunters. There was also the prey...what if they turned on him...He....He might not be able to handle this. Omega has initiative 11
He got a 17 on hit AC check for Rock Smash, lowering the Shinx's Defense by 1 CS and dealing 15 Fighting Physical damage

For all of her floundering, Muku is able to get back to her feet and shake herself off. Her head turns back to Kursz swiftly. "If you can figure out what that's for, go ahead and let me know!" She says, turning her attention to her own small ball on the ground. Ah. Right. She dashes over to pick it up. Ok. Ball collected! Eeh! Omega was in a fight though! Bad! Very bad! But she couldn't get caught off-guard by that other group either! And Omega was strong enough to handle this, right? Right? She bites her tongue and groans. Errr! This was a nasty situation! For now, she elects to simply get closer to action and keep an eye on things. Next turn, she would definitely be able to act! Initiative of 12!

The Shinx, under attack rounds on Omega, and throws it's weight at him center of mass. It's battle cry is more of an angry mewl, but everything is a ferocious predator when it comes flying at you with such speed. The Skorupi seems more inclined to assess what's going on, though the prey seem to hold it's attention more strongly then the large squishy bipeds.

Thel, having finally taken the situation into account, becomes much more confident. He knows this. This is familiar, although not the most common situation - usually he would be alone. But it's a situation that he knows how to act in nonetheless. Protect and aid the Ladies. And keep the other predators from eating the food. Especially that bug. It looks delicious... He tenses, ready to spring into action... well, awkward into action, at least. This body's still very unfamiliar, and, as far as he can tell, can only hit things. He laments the lack of fire and poison. Thel holds until the end of the round.
If anything attacks Em or Muku, or either of them attack something, or something attacks the prey (in that order of priority), he will use Feint attack on whatever attacked them/they attacked, for 27 Physical Dark Damage.

Emboldened by no longer needing to fear the human's red and white capture orbs, Kursz bursts from his hiding place, arms outstretched over his head, bellowing at the Skorupi like some kind of Ursaring. He was a coward most of the time, all bugs must be, clearly!

The Skorupi chittered anxiously, scuttling off to make more distance between itself and the large human before firing a stinger at him.
Em takes to the side of the clearing and tries to usher the three friends away from the others. "Come this way, please, it'll be safe."

Omega was pushed back by the little Pokemon, the hit carrying more strength than he had expected. Gritting his teeth, he reached into the pocket he had tucked the red ball into and pressed the button on it, causing it to expand in his hand. This was it. These balls were the things that had the power to take someone out of a fight completely. He had that power now. Thinking back to when members of his pack were taken, he rears back and throws the ball at the Pokemon that had struck him. As the ball soars through the air, Omegas eyes go wide when he realized he had put too much force into it and it flew over the head of his enemy. Taking advantage of it having pushed him away, he scrambled a bit further back, hoping to be able to make it around the beast and recollect the ball. Got a 3 on my AC roll for the Pokeball so that's a miss. Omega is then moving back his movement to put distance between the him and the Shinx

Muku took in the sights of the situation. Em was trying to corral the prey Pokémon. Aha, yes. She was so deceptive at acting like they weren't going to hug eat them! Kursz meanwhile seemed to be trying to scare off the small one. It was fighting back, sure, but as it's shots went wide against a blazingly fast insect man, she had the distinct feeling that he had it covered. That just left Omega. Ah! OMEGA! A fell, warbling cry emerges from Muku's lips as she charges in. Hurt! Little dog hurt Omega! Kikikikikaaaaaaa! She gets in close, pulls her body low, then springs into the air with astounding grace as she punts her leg down unto the creature's tiny body.
