The Nidorina and Nidorino tag team the Mankey that dared to get aggressive by the pair at the same time, and the shrieking pigmonkey is beaten into so much whimpering fluff.
With a shriek, one of the Mankey that had been content to watch a moment prior engages in an incredible flying leap, building momentum with a spin kick and lands a powerful blow that staggers the boy with a bone-shattering crack with the edge of it's hand. It does so heedless of Fang (and provokes). (Karate Chop critically hits for 44 Fighting Physical)
Hope gets a furious scratching from one of the Pokemon she brought her power against, but the other is still too incensed with their target, seizing the larger quadruped, leaping with it into a backdrop after an impressive aerial somersault.
Kursz' Skorupi fires a pink poison dart at Hope's assailant and downs the creature with little difficulty.
The Noctowl aggressively preens its feathers before giving a single wingbeat and starts to glide silently, terrifyingly closer to Muku.

As the screaming ball of hate rushes past to crack one of Omegas ribs, Fang takes a swipe at it quickly followed by an icy bite. As if that wasn't enough, Omega screams back in the monkeys face before bringing the pommel of the knife down on to the top of its head with a two handed hammer arm style swing. He quickly looked between the other monkeys and yelled again 12 on AoO for 31 Normal Physical
10 on Ice Fang for 34 Ice Physical
9 on Rock Smash for 17 Fighting Physical

Thel very much does not like or appreciate the screaming of the monkeys, thanks. He would much prefer that they be quiet. And also not attacking them... but, then again, they interfered first, so that's a bit hypocritical. It seems like a necessary part of being human, though, which he isn't sure how to feel about. Hope, meanwhile, a little irate at all of this pain and attacking, decides that she'd very much like to nicely ask to borrow some of the offender's energy in return. It's only polite, after all. A simple kiss is enough in payment. Hope uses Draining Kiss on M1, spending an AP. 11 vs AC 2, for 30 Special Fairy Damage.

"No! No! Kiyiyiyiyiyyaaah!!!"Without hesitation, Muku hurls the stone at the Noctowl, sending it hurling through the air towards it. Rock Go!

More screeching and scratching from the remaining antagonists as Hope and Omega fell their wave. The ones surrounding the pair of Nidos continue their assault, the male looking much worse for wear. They don't shift positions despite the advantage it might bring, it seems they are guarding a nest.
The Noctowl considers Muku fiercely, staring deeply into her eyes. She feels heavy, paralyzed with a strange fear and torpor before sliding into an uneasy, nightmarish sleep. The owl then wheels easily in the air and heads for the prey that woke it.

Hope flits around the first monkey, moving so as to not enter its flailing reach, before unleashing more energy at the pair menacing the female, making sure the rodent-lagomorph-thing isn't caught in the blast.. She seems a little uneasy with the owl fluttering around, but keeps focussed on the task at hand. Hope uses Struggle Bug on M5 and M7, spending an AP. 8 vs AC 2, for 37 non-resisted Bug Special damage.

Omega nodded at Fang and then the pair split up and charged at two different Mankey. While Fang seemed to be unable to find purchase on the soil as he moves with an electrified tackle, Omega ran at the Mankey attacking the male and attempted to sink his knife into the Fighting type. The weapon was quickly becoming an extension of himself as he moved it with deft precision. Fang uses Spark with a 6 vs AC 2 on M5 for 36 Electric Physical if it hits
Omega uses Pierce! with a 14 vs AC 2 on M6 for 29 Physical Normal Damage

The rock was exactly what she expected to be. Powerful. Strong. Accurate. A weapon. But it was not enough. No. It barely scratched this terrible creature. Muku takes to wing, flying into the air with a screeching howl. But her wings aren't moving. She's falling. Falling, falling deep into the abyss. The owl's eyes expand further and deeper into a sinking abyss and she is falling into that abyss. She the small and tiny bird again and her mind becomes the cage in which her soul resides. Her body hits the ground with a muddled thud. ... Sleep Save! BlHZ2QTs1d20[/roll] ...Trying another shot. 1d20 ·1d20

While Muku snoozes, Omega, Hope, and the Nido duo make short work of the remaining Mankey, the Owl swooping in to carry off one as it's prize, the sounds of bones snapping in those powerful talons not unfamiliar to Omega. It seems intent on returning to the trees and it's sleep, with the meal provided.
The two quadrupeds consider the humans with equal parts caution and uncertainty, neither looks to be in very good shape. They alternate between making comforting sounds and nuzzling against one another, and side-eyeing the trainers.

"Glad you're okay," Thel says, stopping and crouching down a bit aways from the quadrupeds. "It's not nice when they're just picking on you, and all you want to do is protect your nest. I know that feeling. I, uh, I dunno if you want some food or anything. I've got some stuff in my pack. But... if you just want to be left alone, that's fine, too."

Omega was torn. One one hand this spiny poison thingy. He didn't have any spiny poison thingy on his team yet. But on the other hand the owl was an apex predator, just like he wanted to be. So if he captured the owl then HE would be the apex predator. Or something.
Instead of making up his mind he stood confused, looking back and forth between the two without making any moves.

The Noctowl departs with its prize in talon, no clear shift in its expression. Being awake during the day is awful but also hey free food.
Mmip wakes Muku by bumping against her face, fluttering around her head in lazy, excites circles. So proud that it scared the scary owl away.
The Nidos converse amongst themselves for a moment, before the female steps forward and gives Thel's palm a lick of approval.

Thel laughs a little at the lick. That tickles. He gets to work pulling the portable stuff that he bought at the last town out of his bag, as well as some ingredients, and starts throwing them together. It's not that hard to make something that tastes good, right? Just follow your gut, and make sure you keep tasting. Simple. ...sometimes.
"Hey, uh, you guys gonna want any food?" he asks, turning to the surprisingly quiet Muku and Omega. "I'm gonna make some stuff for these guys, Hope and Serenity. Not sure if you two want any of this stuff." He's returned Hope to her ball to rest, having Serenity out to keep watch instead - and also stare in curiosity at the Nidos.

Muku awakens with a start, dislodging Mmip upwards and outwards. She was asleep, right? No. Not a asleep. In a nightmare. A horrible, horrible nightmare. But was it? No. There was reality here, the terrible kind of reality that comes when you look at owls and the owls look into you, past you, through you, and into a vast horizon with no end because there is no end to the eternity that is the suffering they inflict when they catch you.
She swallows, throat dry with fear and forehead covered in sweat. Or something like that. Muku didn't know what it was like to die and Muku didn't want to think about it. Death was a very real fear to have.
Clutching Mmip to her chest, she draws herself inwards. Thel's question didn't reach her ears.

"I want that bird" Omega says with wide eyes as he watches the Owl fly away. It had just picked up one of those awful screaming pig monkey things that he had been struggling with fighting. It just picked it up and flew away. Clearly that meant if he got it and trained it then it could pick HIM up to fly away and then he could dropped directly into battle.....
His eyes sparkled like a kid in a candy store and he pointed at the bird with his knife "The next time we see one of those, I'm going to take it for myself."
Similarly to Muku, Omega was too far off in his own world to respond to Thel, unaware that the other boy had even said anything

"I could eat." Kursz replied, both Nidorano and Nidorina watching Thel expectently as he went about prepping a midday snack. Mmip, gleeful as ever, paused to consider Muku's haunted, distant expression. "Hoppip."

It takes a second, but Muku eventually shakes off the fog of terror that had gripped her mind with Mmips aid. And the smell of food. She was hungry. Just a little. "Muku wouldn't mind... Something hot." She says at last. "Something that doesn't make her think of owls because owls are awful and awful owls are awful because they are awful and…"

"Okay, well, it probably won't be too much," Thel warns Kursz, "I still want to save some more for the road - I only have so much." As much as he would have liked to gorge... at least here he knew how much was going to be eaten. It was all his, eventually. Not just what he could get. Hope and Serenity don't seem to have much in the way of compunctions, though, eating up a storm - apparently they like his cooking, especially the Dry stuff for Serenity, and Salty for Hope. He'll probably have to try and moderate their food intake later... but didn't have the heart for that day to be today. For himself, he liked the heat some stuff gave. And for the Nidos, he gave a sampling of everything... didn't really know what they might like. "What kind of food do you like, Kursz?" he asks, as he dishes out for everyone. Thel creates 9 Basic Snacks - 3 Salty Surprises for Hope, 3 Dry Wafers for Serenity, 1 Spicy Wrap each for himself and Muku, and 1 food of choice for Kursz.

Omega sat back against a tree and stretched out, looking at Muku with a raised eyebrow "Why are owls bad? It looked powerful and grabbed the screaming death ball like it was nothing. That's exactly the kind of Pokemon I want to catch for our Plock."
He then turned his attention towards the remaining Mankey on the ground and sort of licked his lips "I wonder if they taste any good, if the owl took one for dinner...." They were PIG Monkeys after all

“Omega wouldn’t understand.” Muku whispers with a quivering pout. She turns from away in a helter-skelter manner, head tilt as she continues in an eerie sing-song manner.
“Omega was at the top of the chain. Doesn’t know what it’s like to feel the quickening of your heart when there are eyes in the dark, and they are watching you, watching you, going to take you away, away from life and what you know and what you like to the abyss where there is no light only Owl and the Owl is Death.”
