Lauren noticed the fire trail, and snapped her fingers to hide it to protect Sarah identity, She knew Sarah was unwilling to revile her true form to the others, so she believed it was best to hide it before grabbing Rose hand as she said "Hold on Human". She then shoot off towards the next town, while not as fast as Sarah, she was faster then others.<br/>As she reached Sarah and noticed Mark joining them, she stared at the humans, a noticeable glow of hatred in her eyes as they judged her and her friends. Though she controlled herself from lashing out at anyone, but ensured she was ready incase anyone tried anything, a soft growl at Mark would also tell him that Lauren would deal with trouble herself.<br/><br/>Mike was halfway to the town when he witnessed Sarah go speeding past him towards the new town holding Firis, he could tell she was evoling having experienced the pain himself when he had evoled into Lucario though his was a little less painful as he was a bit more prepared for it, he asked Kyubimon to hide with Gaubumon as he quickly chased after the others, joining them not long after Lauren stood threateningly at the doors, almost challenging any human to come near her.<br/>"Sorry Folks, this is offical Pokemon Ranger business, my partner and I found her in pain, I apologise for whatever effect this has on your plans, but please be patience, we will leave once its done" Mike said as he walked in showing his badge to the humans, Rangers thankfully had authority, and were able to act like Police even if they were nature police, so even if things could go south, not many would act knowing a ranger is overseeing things, Lauren herself even knew Ranger authority so she backed down a little.<br/><br/>For Derek, who had traveled a lot like Mike, this was not the first time he had seen a hybrid evole, he had been there with Mike when he had evoled, so was well aware of the pain and struggles that came with it. He quickly caught up with Joker and Toni, as Guilmon and Arcadiamon in their disguses also kept up with them as well. "So, I guess we'll be the rear guard then" he said, he listained to Toni ask her question and was curious as to how Joker would respond.
