Ari was relieved that this big bad legendary guy didn't think they were bad anymore. That would've been...bad. But mainly, it was just insulting to be treated like a...a villain! Like they were Mightyena instead of Pyroar, even though none of them were either...but still. He was also relieved that Mac was talking to him now, even if it was to yell at him. It was just...weird when she was being quiet. "I'm not Kazo's fan! He's way too cool to need fans." He knew that what he was saying didn’t really make sense, but he didn’t like the way Mac was trying to put down Kazo’s awesomeness here.
Zekrom then said something that completely floored the lion. No, not that they were good people. He already knew that. But what came after. About them becoming his followers. "A-are you serious?" he stammered, before recovering. The cub drew himself up. "That sounds...awesome! Does that mean I might learn to become super cool and strong like a legendary is?! Maybe as strong as Entei!"

Easter sighed, put out at being attacked like this. "You all are ridiculous," he shook his head. Fighting small fry like this really did little more than whet his appetite...or not even that. Glancing around the battlefield, attempting to shake off the Carvanha attached to his leg, he made small analyses in his head. Denku was hit, but he's made of tougher stuff than that to go down so easily. Brooke is getting aggravated, probably because of Dora. And of course, Dora's decided to join in and fight anyway. There really wasn't much he could do about that though until he got rid of these two bottom feeders. "I guess it's time to clean house," he muttered.
"I tire of you," the Sylveon said, firing a Moonblast at the Carvanha aiming a kick for him. Normally, he would've tried to avoid the attack, but his maneuverability was halved with the sucker attached to his leg. So, the next best thing was to just blast the nuisance in front of him away.

This is dumb. So, so dumb. Why are we even here again? Oh, that's right. We're on the road to Adarid City, meeting new enemies along the way.
Once again, Keanu could not help but wonder how he got dragged into messes like this. And why he even bothered moving past them. It was obvious he had been born under an unlucky star, doomed to forever get himself thrown into fight after fight. At this point, he was just starting to get resigned. He wasn't even surprised that Marie decided to stand in the way of this Lucario. She was just delusional like that.
"You brahs are bad for my health," he groaned. "And I don't mean that in the sick way, but in the I'm at risk of losing my life way."
It didn't matter though. No matter what he said, it couldn't change what was happening. It didn't change Marie getting slammed by that Lucario, Randy losing his temper and getting tossed around, or the fact that that very same gijinka that took down their most powerful was headed their way.
The Pikachu looked at Nani. "Looks like we won't be able to keep heading along." He shook his head at the Lucario, who probably couldn't see what he was doing...or maybe he could since he seemed to know where everybody was. "I wasn't gonna fight ya, but looks like I have no choice now." He then charged an Electro Ball and sent it flying at the fighting type. Afterward, he attempted to dash away and hopefully not get hit before the Lucario got to him. The Nightmarish Terror next to him would probably be fine, since she was a ghost type and could somehow sink into people's shadows. Keanu, on the other hand, was very much both solid and squishy.
