[As is to be expected, the Fake Out halts the Paprika before she can land a hit, and the illusion is quickly torn away. The undisguised Zoroark falls back, rushing out of the Lombre's range before it can lash out again. But instead of an actual attack, she gets... a bit of rain? She growls lowly, quipping, "Is that all?" N isn't nearly as confident. He tilts his head up, watching worriedly as the sky darkens.]
Stay on guard, Zoroark, that-- [And then he hears the sharp, sudden squawk of an Unfezant. Zoroark takes notice too, mirroring N's startled turn.] Ah-- Hilda! [Normally, he wouldn't react with such worry, but Hilda just arrived; her Pokemon aren't quite strong enough to protect her without getting themselves hurt. His Minun friend makes a move first, leaping from Hilda's shoulder and babbling away at the Unfezant, but the Flying-type doesn't seem to be listening very closely.
Zoroark eyes N, assuring him that she can fight just fine by herself, thank you very much. But N hurriedly calls out an attack anyway:] Night Slash, again! Be quick-- Don't let it get too close! [With that, he rushes to Hilda's side. Zoroark snorts and carries out the command, lashing out with one claw at the Lombre.
Meanwhile, N is quick to place himself between Hilda and the squawking Unfezant, an arm up to protect himself from its wing beats and talons. He speaks quickly but gently:] Hush, friend, everything is alright-- I'm sorry, we didn't mean to startle you.
