The sunstone turned long enough to give Muku a long, irritated squint before it moved back the way it had come from. Illuminating a broad,tooth filled beak, then a narrow predatory head with two long horns behind it. Wings comparable to the Moltres Muku laid low, but these are webbed and not feathered. It rumbles and snores quietly.

Now this. This was probably an apex predator! It was like a bird, but clearly also just... Not a bird? At any rate, it did look strong. Dangerous, but strong. She gives the baleful sunstone a nod of appreciation.
Turning, she considers her strategy here. Attacking while it was sleeping would most definitely be seen as aggressive and rude. That was blackbird shit, and she needed this Pokémon to help her, not hate her. Should she... Talk to it? Is that what people did? Maybe talk to it, and be ready to fight. Talk to the fight? "Hey. Wake up. We're either gonna talk or fight, but maybe not fight if we can work something out. But first like, yeah, wake up."

Eyes hungry and fierce in equal measure snapped open. These were the eyes of a staraptor. A hungry loner that took what it wanted and did as it pleased. It pulled itself onto a pair of well muscles legs with talons that crushed the rocks under its bulk as it rose. A rumbling growl began in the beast's throat.

With unnatural calm, Muku holds her hand out front of her. "Don't." She sighs. "I'm here because I need a partner. You're down here, because of the rain. Am I right? I'm here to stop the rain. And do that, I need a strong partner. So. I need to know if you're up for that."

The massive Pokemon sat back on its haunches, a thick tail ending in a wicked spade curling against its feet. Broad wings drew up against it, as it considered Muku's proposal and the distant cascade of rain against the mount they hid in.
(If you are intending a social roll now is the time.)

Boldly, with confidence, Muku puffs out her chest. She had confidence in her delivery; now she just needed to stick the landing. Command Roll of 16 to attempt to keep cool and maintain composure.

The hulking creature turns its head to one side, watching Muku contemptuously. The tail knocks another forbidden rockbug skittering out of the light. It snorts, but seems to respect Muku's commanding aura enough to treat her as a fellow predator.

The tension in Muku's shoulders slackens as she leans back onto a rock wall behind her. They had reached an accord. Maybe not, THE accord she was looking for, but enough of one that they could at least talk about what was going on without having to resort to battle. Not that she would have minded a fight, but honestly, at some point she probably needed to learn that she couldn't just fight her way into and out of everything. Except that was ridiculous. Every problem could probably be solved by violence. It's just that sometimes, violence also causes problems.
Her hand reaches up to massage the temples on the left side of her head. This was all a very ridiculous line of thought. Here she was in a room with the powerful Pokémon she came here to impress, and her brain was going sideways on yet another tangent. "I need to focus. Big creature, strong, massive wings. Probably doesn't take guff from anyone. Don't even know if I have any food to bribe them with. No. Thought I was gonna recruit dumb rock, not some pseudo rock bird thing. Still. It's still here staring so..."
She takes a beep breath. Exhales. No. Deep. Not beep. She opens her mouth and speaks normally. "So... The Pokémon we need to fight. One is an ice bird and the other is an electric bird. If I'm being honest, completely honest, I don't know if you would be up to the task. Not because you're not strong, I can tell you're strong. But they're gonna be able to hit as hard as they take it and I'd prefer you know that before we finalize anything. I used to be a Pokémon, a bird, so like, I know that both cold things and stormy things are absolutely just awful. And truth be told, we might not even have to fight them but... Well, let's be honest. Would you respect me if we didn't tumble at least once? We; we're both tough. But like I said. They kinda operate on a different level."

The massive not-bird considers Muku's words, turns it's attention to the distant shush of rain and rustles it's wings irritably. A screech into the darkness and an answering bellow. Two more Pokemon joined the circle of light. One more rotund than the other with bulky arms and three fingered hands, red plates ringing its belly and parts of its head and shoulders. The other bore those striking blue eyes and three horns.
There is some conversation between the three. The saurians size each other up, then Muku. It seems the ancient bird feels it has nothing to prove to Muku, nor nothing to be proven by. Anyone that dare stand before it without cowering in fear is worthy of some measure of respect.

Muku's eyes dip in confusion as the two other Pokémon enter her field of view. One a rocky goliath, clearly powerful. The other, a steel clad defender, just as strong. Probably. The rocky one with the red bands would no doubt be able to handle the electric one with ease, despite it's horn being an obvious lightning rod. The defender clad in steel and shining eyes doubly effective against a bird of frost.
But then, bird.
She could sense that the other two had much to offer her. If she was a tactical thinker, either one would be the perfect choice in one way or another. Muku was not a tactical thinker.
"If you'll take me, I'll take you. Worst comes to worst, it doesn't work out and we'll all drown in a sea of water. But I don't see that happening." The young girl says with a smirk. "Though. If either one of you want to test your strength against me, I've got partners who could handle either one of ya."

The three exchange a variety of growls, shrieks, and rumbles. With a final bellow from the not-bird, stones all along the inside of the crag lit. All three, it would seem, are looking to test themselves against their would be master.

"Alright. Well. Normally, I'd fight you myself, but honestly? I know my limits. So." With a flick of her wrists she tosses a pair Pokéballs out onto the stones before her. A slimy friend, Whoopie Goldsire emerges loose with a happy, if not confused smile. Of all the weird places. A cave! How nice. Next to her, an equally bouncy Mmip slowly floats into the sky. A dull gull grin crosses her mouth. Rocks! Prey. Tossing Whoopie out onto the field, Initiative 4.
Mmip joins her at Initiative 30.

Dancing with a graceful whirl, Mmip attempts to make the metal monster go sleep. Unfortunately, Mmip is overly excited about this particular venture and spreads thick powder everywhere but her intended target. She does look real pretty though. 3 on a Sleep Powder. I cri, Mmip activates Flutter

The not bird calls to the stone and it answers, hammering into Mmip (44 Rock Physical). The hulking protectored saurian fires shards of floating stone in the air about, apparently to keep Mmip at bay. The metal beast shines with a powerful silver light and shores up it's defenses.

First time experience with rocks? Not good. Mmip is not a fan of rocks. Lazily soaked in powder, Whoopie Goldsire opens her gaping maw and yawns loudly as she waddles towards the flying rock Dino. Dust flies out of her mouth and she shakes the sleepies from her eyes. Now. Now was time for war. Muku exhorts her partners from a distance, "Alright, come on! That's enough messing around! Let's get offensive!" Mmip giggling twists about with a erratic twist, pulling in energy from the horned armor creature. Whoopie Goldsire gets down low, water dripping from her open mouth as she prepares to strike... Whoopie Goldsire yawns at the Aerodactyl. At the end of it's next turn, it is sleep.
Muku Stat Links both Whoopie and Mmip, raising their Attack Stats. Brutal Training is applied to Goldsire to stay.
Mmip fires off an AC 2 Mega Drain at the Rhyperior? for 37 Special Damage. Half of that damage is returned to Mmip. Blood for the plant goddess.

With a screech, Aerodactyl bolts into the air after Mmip, trying to feast upon tasty happy seeds. (37 Dark Physical and a Flinch). It then falls asleep and majestically remains airborne. Mmip takes a tick and a half from Stealth Rock, and recovers 15 Hp from the drain, 30 with root. Rhyperior attempts a body slam on Whoopie, but falls wide. Aggron comes in from the other side with a body press, catching the Pokemon unawares. (Whoopie takes 74 Fighting Physical, a Critical Hit)

Staggering from the blow, Whoopie bends back and whomps bitterly. She didn't ask for that and certainly didn't appreciate it. But it did knock the sleepy from her eyes. Now, there was only war. Shifting around the side of the two goliaths, she cuts a mean path through and past the both of them. From her mouth issues forth a virulent spay of mud and water spiking forth from the ground. Inside the jaws of a now sleeping Aerodactyl, Mmip does a rest. She could easily dodge the floating smart rocks, but the bite was painful. Pain was bad. Sun was good! Glowing with a faint effervescence, her wounds 'pop' out as she gently dislodges herself from the teeth of her floating foe. Down below, Muku continues to shriek with a battle fury, being helpful, but clearly out of her depth as far as actually effecting the battle as it was ongoing. Whoopie shifts, possibly provoking an attack of opportunity before Surfing in a line through both Rhyperior and the Aggron.
AC 2 - 6 to hit. On hit, 66 Radical Water Damage. No extra damage, but points for style.
---
Mmip's Init is now 25 and is Vulnerable! She'll just chill and Synthesis for a turn. No points of hazard damage thanks to Infiltrator.

Both saurians are severely injured by Whoopie's attack and retaliate in kind. The Rhyperior moves in and slams a heavy leg into the ground, flattening the surface but the Quagsire just tolerates the pleasant vibrations. The Aggron lowers its head, a swallowing noise accompanying the gesture before powerfully goring the poor amphibian. (108 Normal Physical, a Critical Hit.)

"Well alright then." Muku mutters viciously as Whoopie goes down with a terrific clatter. That big guy was hitting hard, real hard. Time to send out someone whose clapback was just as strong. "Hornise! You're up! Give them the horn! Swift strikes!" Spray of light surrounding, Hornise bursts forth from her Pokéball. Giving a curt nod to the now fresh Mmip beside her, Muku's first and finest begin their attack, Mmip going high with a flurry of dust and Hornise going low with glowing palms of chopping energy! Hornise enters the fight at Init 14!
Mega Drain on the Rhyperior, Brick Break on both the Rhyperior and the Aggron via Stat Maneuver.
Brick Break AC 2 - Rolled a 14 for 65 Physical Fighting Damage on both opponents, +5 bonus damage from Expert Belt.
---
Mega Drain AC 2 - Rolled a 9 for 40 Special Grass Damage on Rhyperior, if they are fainted, Aggron. Any other situation she looks cute, having little desire to drink the fainted unto death.
Mmip also resumes Fluttering.

Hornise tears a gouge of material out of the pair in a straight cleaving swing of her mighty appendage and Mmip finished the job. Both Pokemon sag, taking to a knee and breathing heavily. Aerodactyl continues to sleep soundly despite it all.
