"Can't imagine I'd be happy about getting dropped from way up there either. You'd better believe I'd give whatever Pokémon did it a piece o' my mind." He replied, glancing at them as they started to make their way over toward the crash site. 

"Hope you're loaded, cuz you did some serious damage to the grass!" He called out as they got closer. And hey, maybe if she *Was* Loaded he'd be able to get a donation from her for Po Town.
Kathy
At vals statment chris's face went pink,"N-no! We where one our way to the forest and i saw you and thought it would have been a good idea to say hi..." She looked up, papping her legs with the flat of her hands.

Theshout made her stop though, looking in their direction. She puffed her cheeks slightly. Oh great. Even more people saw. "And why would that matter to someone who lookes like they got. A white pompom on their head?"
Teresa
"Guess ya gotta point." They said with a small shrug, following guzma quietly as he confronted the girl.

Her response took them off guard to say the least. They looked between the two of them in subtle shock, almost double taking what they said to him. They looked down at their Krookidle, who helped them stay upright, and it was honestly a big help.

They glanced over at their other pokemon noticing how their serperior starred daggers at chris from afar... Was he upset about what she said? They couldn't tell, but they recalled, even as a snivy, serperior would be rather defensive of Guzma at times. Guess that feeling never shook huh?
Ethel
Val looked over at Guzma. He then thought about what Chris said. He was about to burst out in laughter, but held back at the last second. "Dammit! It wasn't that funny, ya know," He whispered to her, trying not to laugh out loud.
Roland
"Really?" The tall man raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "That the best you could come up with? I guess you did just take a ten story drop. Land on your head, did you?" 

He put his hands on his hips and leaned down slightly as if to get a better look at her, one eye narrowed slightly. "As for why it'd matter, well... I'm tryna build a home for homeless kids an' I'm a little low on funds."
Kathy
"Oh how noble of you! Looking at you, i can tell youve got the typical thug backstory..." She snarled. She knew this man did not just belittle her like that. "I might just help. But id love to know...*What did daddy beat you with?*" 

Midas quickly scrambled up. Oh no, his trainer was being dumb again.

"Cuz thats what happened to you, right? I bet it! Abused kid goes on to be a delinquant. Probably part of an evil team..." She hummed, unamused.
Teresa
Agnes raised their eyebrows, shocked by what they heard. That shock slowly turning unbridled rage, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" They scowled not appreciating the words that came out of her mouth, not one bit.

Agnes was never the type to speak out like that... But this? It crossed the line, far over the line.
Ethel
Val stepped in to try and calm the situation. "HAHAHA! Sorry about my friend here! I think the fall may have gotten here confused on the situation, but it's cool, right? I mean, there's no reason to raise our voices at each other, right?!" He'd say, nervously. As much as Val loved to battle, he didn't want to start at the wrong end here. Battling was one thing, but Conflict was another.

"How about we all chill out and not call each other names, okay?" He nervously continued
Roland
Guzma physically recoiled at the words that came out of her mouth, taking a step back. His mouth hung open for a second, flailing for something, *Anything,* To say. 

Before he had a chance, his Golisopod had used First Impression to cross the wide open space in the blink of an eye, appearing in front of him with a roar. It jabbed at her, pressing its claws against her neck, one on each side to press the armour plating on the back under her chin. 

"What the fuck is your problem? You're *Lucky* Golisopod is protectin' your ass! I'll fuckin' kill you!"
Teresa
While serperior didn't jump like Golisipod, it did come near Agnes and Guzma, loosely coiling itself infront of the two as another sort of defense.

Agnes looked to guzma for a moment, this time around they felt like biting their tounge was the right thing to do. They looked over to Val. Rather then joy, they were met with a hostile, almost threatening gaze. While it was rare from agnes, their cold green eyes were sure to shoot shivers down anyones spine.
Kathy
"Ah, i see, still havent recovered yet" She said, looking unaffected at the golisopod," You arnt the only one with a fucked up past ya know. Ive just learned to mostly joke about it." She reached up, forcibly removed golisopods arms,"You also dont seem to take hostile humore well. Ill take note." She stepped to the side so guzma could see her again,"If you would like to throw a punch though, you can. Ill let you. I deserve it."
Teresa
*"I mean you aren't really supposed to joke about other people trauma, but- whatever"* They muttered, rubbing their temple from a slight headache coming on. 

They were rather set off themself already, so their energy was burning fast. 

Serperior, still coiled around the two of them starred threateningly at Chris not looking to move anytime soon unless warranted from Guzma or Agnes.
Ethel
"Hey, Chris... I don't think it's a good idea talking back to these guys. As much as I'm sure we could take this battle, I'm not in the mood..." Val would whisper to her. He was still nervous and didn't know exactly what to say next. The pressure was building on top of him, and sending out one of his Dragons to do his dirty work didn't seem like a grand idea either. It was now just a matter of time
Roland
Well if she was going to admit that she deserved it then who was he to argue? He hopped over the Serperior's body, took a few strides forward and let his fist fly right into her jaw. 

Golisopod let him throw the initial punch - she did deserve it - but after that the huge bug pushed him back, keeping a careful eye on Chris for any retaliation. 

"I'll make jokes about it when *I* Want to. You don't go around joking about *Other people's* Shit. Poor taste, man." He snarled through his teeth.
Kathy
She stumbled back a bit, and then stopped. She moved her jaw around, standing back up straight, rubbing it. "There. Now that hostilities are out of the way, we can get to the friendsly formalities." She was lucky she liked to train with matt. Getting hit by a brick wall like him for so long made that hit a cake walk.

"Names chris maratin, champion of the kadena region." She held her hand out,"And sorry for a verbal nut shot. I feel i got a pretty good read off of ya from it, though. Defensive, strong, and you dont take shit from people... I like it" She smirked, feeling the sorness in her jaw already. Thatw as gonna bruse,"Id love to have a proper fight with you soemtime... And not with pokemon."
Teresa
Agnes kind of froze for a moment, taking a moment to register what just happened. They fighting wasn't really their thing.

It looked like they went white for a moment, blinking harshly almost stuck in a trance for a second

They tried their best to shake it off though, she did say punch him, and they knew Guzma wasn't going to turn that down, but it still caught them off guard for sure.

They looked away, wiping the sweat off their palms before resting their hands on their hips, starring at the ground.
Ethel
Val looked at Chris. "Are you alright? That was a pretty nasty hit!" He'd say to her. Now angered, he'd look over at Guzma. "You did NOT just do that..." He angrily said. He held on to his Pokeball, getting ready to toss one.
Roland
"Tch. That how you normally greet new people? Hit 'em with somethin' you know could damn well be a sore spot?" He folded his arms, refusing her handshake and subconsciously closing himself off by forming a barrier between them. He wasn't looking for a friendship, and he wasn't about to let her gloss over that like nothing happened. 

"You wanna fight? Sure. But you better muzzle your Rockruff, cuz it sounds like he wants one too." He added, narrowing his eyes as he glared at Val, clearly not intimidated.
Kathy
She blushed brightly for moment, and then huffed,"Dont need no rockruff. I can hold my damn own. Archie made sure of that early on..." She mummbled,"And ya, it is. Im kinda rude. I like to be a shithead. Donf mean i dont like you. I actually like you alot." She noded her head at his golisopod. "I have a soft spot for bug types to. I have a whole shiny team that ive built up Over time. Got a shiny golisopod named hercule..." She walked up to guzmas, giving ir a smile,"Sordy for being so rude to your trainer. But i have a feeling hes not the softes pillow in the bed huh?" She grinned, chuckling.
Ethel
While Val was still angry, he calmed down a bit and drew back the Pokeball. "Are we done here?" He asked the group. He was actually glad the conflict may have concluded.

"Now why won't we try this again? My name is Valiente. Close friends call me Val. And you are?" He continued, introducing himself to Guzma by holding out his hand, waiting for a reply
Roland
"Can hold your own? Anyone tell that to your Rockruff?" He glanced down at Val's offered hand and gave that the same treatment he had given Chris' - ignoring it completely. His arms remained folded. "Name's Guzma."

Golisopod took a step back as Chris got closer, raising his arms to bare the armour plates defensively. 

"Don't mind him. We been through a lotta shit together. He's defensive." He muttered begrudgingly, patting the water type's thick shell.
Kathy
"Hercule used to be the same" She hummed, gently placing her handz on the plates. She smiled up at him,"Hey, no need to be so defensive. Why would i wannt hurt a big beautiful but like you?" She hummed happily. She tapped the armour,"Oh wow! Look at how tough your shell is! You must be very proud" She praised him, just like she would hercule when he was in a bad mood. 

She looked back at val with a smile,"And dont worry val. I can hold my own" She hummed happily,"You dont know a quater of the shit ive been through"
Ethel
Val then sighed in relief. "Good, Good. Now no one has to lash out at each other, sheesh!" He would say. Suddenly, a Flygon escaped its Pokeball and nudged Valiente a bit. Val then realized. He reached into his bag and pulled out a portable picnic. "So who here's hungry?" He'd ask the group
