| Things only went from bad to worse as the Anorith managed to dodge Sakura's attack, climbing above the fence and somehow managing to jump over her and now had a clear shot at the lady they were trying to protect. "Sakura use bite and try to drag it away!" Gwen instructed as she took a few steps closer to the battle. Yelling out orders was getting a bit exhausting.
Sakura jumped backwards to close the distance between them and bit down on the Anorith's tail. She then tried to move forward, dragging the Anorith with her. If she couldn't knock the thing flying then she'd just have to carry it away! <Come on you idiot bug. What are you so interested in anyway?> Sakura snapped at the Anorith.
Meanwhile, Ignis took another scratch attack. Thankfully the growling was doing it's work on the Anorith's offensive power. This particular scratch hadn't hit quite as hard as the last. Still though, the Charmander was getting tired of growling and taking hit after hit. If he couldn't use his fire attacks, he'd just have to scratch the thing back! That set in his mind, he raised his own claws and swiped back at the Anorith.
Geez, this battle was just a minor step up from a pair of metapod going at each other knowing nothing but harden.
Gwen meanwhile, couldn't help but wonder why the Anorith were so intent on attacking this woman. Suddenly jumping out at them hadn't caused them to flee, and even though it was painfully clear they were at the disadvantage, they were still going at the poor woman. "Hey miss! Do you have anything the Anorith might be trying to get? If you do, pass it over to me!" She called to the woman. If it was an item on the woman's person they wanted, then it would be simple for the woman to throw it over, and then she herself would become the target. She could lead them away and give the woman a chance to escape, and then her pokemon could finish the swarming bugs off.

The woman kept screaming, her voice breaking being the only thing that finally silenced her as the Anorith was now clawing its way towards her arm and at the very bag she had been using as a weapon previously. As her tail was bit, the Anorith clawed into the woman bracing himself in an effort not to let go- effectively scratching up the woman’s arm as Sakura dragged him away. A cry escaped from the woman as she felt the sharp blades for ‘arms’ that the pokemon had run through her own arm, and her free hand went to cling to the damaged flesh ever still a look of fear flashing in her brown eyes.
The words from the Mawile made no sense to the feral Anorith, and Sakura might as well have been speaking an altogether different language for as much as she knew. However, at finally being yanked away and Bitten fully, she let out a cry of startled pain and flailed briefly making to Scratch the inside of the Mawile’s maw in an effort to get free. Whether it did any good or not considering the maw of the Mawile was more horn than mouth though was to be debated.
The Scratch barely affected the other Anorith, the armor being too thick and the typing being a bad match up. Shaking his entire body for a moment, the Anorith made to all but jump at the Charmander’s face again making to claw at it.
The call of a human voice barely registered to the woman initially as she clasped her arm and shook fearfully. It was only when Gwen’s last sentence vibrated the air that she even recognized someone was talking. Brown eyes flashed up, and in but a second, the woman realized it had been the bag they were after. Though she wasn’t sure who the other woman was at that moment it didn’t matter. Throwing the bag towards Gwen as quickly as her sore arm would let her, the woman called a “here!”
Both Anorith stopped moving- their eyes following after the bag just as desired, and shortly thereafter both went chasing after it.
-- Both Anorith are Scratching. The bag of interest has moved and caught their attention, apparently.

| While Sakura had managed to get the Anorith away from the woman, she hadn't done so without harming the Anorith clawing into her arm. "Maw...!" She apologized sheepishly, wincing slightly as the Anorith scratched her horn, to little effect.
Gwen worried that the woman might not have heard her, or otherwise wouldn't trust her enough to give the bag away. Fortunately though, her concerns were for naught and the woman threw her bag over. Gwen immediately dived for it, snatching it up and running in the other direction. "Ignis, get the woman to the Inn now!" She yelled over her shoulder as she ran back down the alleyway with the Anorith in hot pursuit.
Gwen hadn't had a chance to issue Sakura an instruction, but it wasn't necessary. As the Anorith ran after Gwen, she followed as well to help her trainer. Unfortunately though, Mawile weren't really known for their speed, and the Anorith on the otherhand, were a fair bit faster than her and she soon found herself falling behind. <Slow down!> The Mawile cried out as Gwen and the other Anorith turned another corner.
Gwen heard Sakura's call and spared a glance backward. Yeah, she wasn't going to be able to run forever, and she needed to get the Anorith in her pokemon's attacking range so she could continue the fight. Without any warning, Gwen suddenly doubled back and ran straight at the Anorith, jumping right over them as they passed. Hopefully, they'd be too surprised by the sudden move to strike at her as she passed. "Sakura use Fairy Wind!" Gwen ordered as she passed the Mawile, before finally stopping.
Sakura nodded and whipped herself around to aim her maw at the two approaching Anorith. She then opened in, and shot a sharp, pink gust of wind at the two Anorith, which would hopefully, in addition to causing some damage, might also make their attempts to get at Gwen a little more difficult.
Meanwhile Ignis remained in the alleyway with the woman while Sakura and Gwen had taken off. He took a breath as a bit of the adrenaline faded from his system, and turned to the woman. Gwen had told him to get her to the Inn. There probably would be someone there who could help tend to her hurt arm, and in any case it was probably the safest place to meet back up. "Char, Charmander Char." He said, tugging gently on her skirt and then ran a few steps down the alleyway before stopping and looking back at her to see if she had understood that she needed to follow him. "Char!"

The Anorith remained in pursuit never once letting Gwen out of their sights as she ran and turned down various corners. What the young woman would possibly notice as she ran with the bag was that possibly due to her own shaking in her step, something in the bag was rolling. While to some this could have been assumed to be from larger pokeballs, why would they be in their large form to begin with? No that couldn’t be it. Meanwhile as Gwen suddenly turned and ran past them, the Anorith paused a tad startled before turning around and starting after her again all the same.
The Fairy Wind that rushed through the alleyway ending up bouncing off the walls and arguably amplifying as it cascaded hitting both Anorith and causing them both to stop and was that a shiver? From the move. One clearly looked more tired than the other and sighed a little while the latter went for an attack- Scratch, of course, though still not at the Mawile but Gwen and the bag that was now out of her reach.
The woman could easily be seen to be in shock from the distanced look she gave the Charmander when he initially tried to get her to get up and move. Instead, she sat there, her fingers pressed to her opposing arm ever still as her mind tried to wrap around what had just happened. Slowly blinking, she glanced at the Charmander. “I…the bag…and they…” she tried but faltered. It seemed Ignis was going to have a little trouble completing the order with this less than quick woman.

| Charmander stared at the woman hopefully. "Come on, just get up and let's get moving! He thought hard, as if he could just will the woman to do what he needed her to do just by thinking it. Unfortunately though, the woman seemed too stunned to understand and had simply begun muttering about the bag and whatever. He couldn't really make anything of what she was trying to say.
Still, he had to get her to go to the inn, one way or another. Unfortunately, few ideas came to mind that he particularly liked. One idea sounded possible, but guh. He did have some dignity to maintain. Sakura probably would have been better at this, though at the same time she probably had a better time fighting the anorith as well. Ignis just had little way to win with all these anorith crawling about. He'd be happy when Gwen had something better to do than run around catching swarming bugs all day.
Ignis looked away for a moment before hiding a sigh, and then he turned back to the woman and approached her with a gentle little smile across his face. He placed his paws on the woman's knee and rested his head on them, trying to be as cute and comforting to the woman as he could possibly manage. He just hoped this worked, and even more so that it worked soon. This was not something he was keen on anyone witnessing.
Meanwhile Gwen and Sakura still had the two anorith to handle. The fairy wind had done it's work, but one of the bugs still seemed quite keen on attacking, and like earlier they wanted nothing to do with Gwen's pokemon, but instead just kept going after the bag. "Sakura, use Iron head." Gwen ordered as she backed away from the approaching anorith.
Sakura didn't hesitate, and had already jumped infront of the bug as it approached her trainer and taking the scratch attack. She needed no order to know she needed to keep the bug's attention away from her trainer, after all. She then charged at the anorith head first, hurling herself at it to hopefully send it flying backward, and away from Gwen.
With Sakura keeping the situation under control, curiosity was beginning to get the better of Gwen. Just /what/ was it that the Anorith were so interested in? Checking the bag, she found a poke ball, still enlarged. Did she manage to capture one? She thought, scratching her head with one finger, quizzically. She had a couple of options. One, she could release the Anorith or whatever was in here, and maybe the anorith would be satisfied.
On the other hand though, she was supposed to be capturing Anorith, so having them get disinterested or worse, giving them a new ally to worsen the assault on her and Sakura, did not seem like a good solution. Plus, it wasn't hers to release anyway. Regardless, these were the woman's belongings, and it wasn't her place to do anything with them. Deciding against it, she simply minimized the ball and left it in the bag. Sakura could handle these Anorith. There was no need to be abusing someone else's belongings.
-------------------

~ Gwen minimized the ball and kept it inside the bag!

Though at first the weight of paws and then a head on her legs briefly stirred nothing in the woman, as she slowly glanced down and registered what was happening, a tentative smile came to her features. The fire lizard was certainly less sharp and less immediately threatening than the Anorith had been, and slowly she came out of her daze briefly letting go of her bloodied arm to pat the Charmander with a few un-bloodied fingers. “I…” she started slowly trying to get ahold of herself but unsure of what to do or say by that point. “Need to get off the street, huh?” Slowly but surely she acted on this thought of her own carefully beginning to stand herself up on her strangely shaky legs.
Rather than be sent flying by the Iron Head, the Anorith was smashed into the ground. When Sakura presumably pulled back from the move, she would find the male flailing a little as though trying to move before fainting. Well, that was certainly useful enough. The second Anorith let out a startled cry upon seeing a fallen comrade and … just like that whatever interest he had had in whatever was in the bag was gone, and the Bug type made to turn and flee.
Meanwhile just as Gwen tried to minimize the pokeball, she would find it… didn’t work and this strange thing was too soft to be a pokeball! Upon closer inspection, Gwen would find it was actually a rather strange fruit…? Berry? of some sort with a durable red shell that one could suppose on first glance could appear to look like a pokeball. The lack of fragrance from the berry was questionable, but maybe the Anorith could smell it anyways? And what were sea dwellers wanting to do with land food anyways? Or did they eat that??
----
Sakura the Mawile earns 6 EXP (due to Mercenary-ness) Ignis the Charmander earns 5 EXP (simply the way it was split due to not wanting to get into the decimals here and Sakura finished the final blow). Gwen has found a rather odd looking food thing.

| Ignis made a content little chirp like sound as the woman patted his head. "Charmander char!" Ignis definitely agreed with getting her off the street! Now he just needed her to go to the inn before Gwen got there only to find neither of them had made it. Ignis stayed at the woman's side as she begun to get up. Her legs were shaking and he wondered if she would even be able to walk down the alleyway. If she fell, there wouldn't really be much he could do, given his size. "Charm..." He said, pretty much telling her to be careful. He took a couple steps forward. If he could just get her at the end of the alleyway, he could point her in the direction of the inn.
As for Gwen and the Anorith, the first thing Gwen realized when she tried to minimize the 'poke ball' was that... It wasn't a poke ball at all! It was a very odd looking berry actually. Still, the point remained that she couldn't just throw it away, otherwise she'd need to repay the woman for losing her things. Keeping this battle up was still in her best interest.
The battle was definitely going in their favor though. One anorith was down, and they just had one more to go. Unfortunately though, the second it saw it's fallen comrade, it suddenly no longer had an interest in the bag and turned to flee. "Cut it off, Sakura." Gwen instructed, knowing that she wouldn't likely catch up to it if it got past her.
Sakura nodded and dived into the Anorith's path, with her jaws wide open she snapped her jaws at the Anorith and tried to bite down on it. It wasn't going to get away so easily!

Shakily at least at first the woman followed after the Charmander. With each step, she showed signs of strengthening, her steps becoming more confident and her stride becoming more natural- and faster. The sudden thought of the Anorith coming back again had caused her to speed up exponentially, and all thoughts of reclaiming her bag at that point were lost.
Despite the Anorith’s speed, the Mawile did manage to dive right in front of him effectively cutting him off. Though the Bite didn’t hurt too badly, the Anorith still retaliated with a Scratch to the inside of the horn maw unflinchingly and in a bit of a panic to say the very least.
-- The Anorith isn't going down just yet!

| <That's it!> Ignis said encouragingly as he moved down the alleyway and around the corner. As they went he let the woman keep the pace, and Ignis was sure to keep a sharp eye out for any more Anorith that might jump out at them.
Fortunately for them, their little walk was an uneventful one and they soon found themselves in front of the Inn. Unfortunately though, Ignis was just a little too short to reach the door handle. "Char..." He muttered, though a moment later someone came rushing out, sending the door flying open, and once they were gone, Ignis dived to keep the door open for the lady. Once inside, hopefully someone would be able to offer the woman some help, and Gwen would hopefully arrive quickly enough to return the girl's things.
Sakura had bitten down hard on the anorith, ensuring that it wouldn't escape and get away from them. Unfortunately though, the bite hadn't stopped the bug from fighting back, and Sakura winced a bit as it scraped it's claw against her iron maw. It still wasn't enough to do much of anything though. Ignis had gotten it's attack down, and it was definitely lower leveled than her. This anorith had no hope of hurting her. Well, maybe if she let it keep going for a while she might start to feel it, but that wasn't going to happen. Without warning, Sakura flipped the Anorith up into the air, her gaze followed it's trajectory and as it neared landing she threw herself at the bug, diving head first at it to deliver yet another iron head attack.

As she made it to the inn, the woman nearly collapsed right then and there from relief. However, she kept herself standing for now at least and walked through the door stopping to glance at the Charmander and offer a soft expression of gratitude thereafter. “Thank you...” were her quiet and somewhat shaking words before she turned again and walked all the way inside to the front desk before various people began to notice the damage to her arm and take action. Thankfully there were no Anorith this close to an inn at the moment, though even the inn itself had suffered some scratches especially upon the door. Had nothing been touched by these ravaging Bugs?
The Anorith, meanwhile, wasn’t having such a pleasant time of things. Upon being thrown up into the air, he ushered out a screech- not the literal attack, mind you- upon becoming a projectile towards Mi-aro again. The Iron Head that smashed into the Anorith sent it flying even higher like a baseball just struck, and … whelp. Sakura just… sent it flying on top of the roof of one of the buildings. Was it even fainted? Could anyone tell where it was now? It was certainly hard to see from where they were… whelp. Meanwhile, the other Anroith was starting to twitch as if coming back to consciousness again.
