Lydia tried to direct Rufflet as best she could during the fight. He wouldn't be able to do much damage against something as strong and sturdy as Snorlax, but eh could definitely harry it, the swooping screeching bird flapping about his large round head as it made a nuisance of itself.<br/><br/>When the Snorlax tripped on the ice field (an impressive trick by 'Tai, Lydia couldn't help but feel a little envious), the sudden shift in his acceleration caught her off guard, and Lydia found herself all but thrown off her feet as the ground shook under her, as if it had suddenly dropped a few feet beneath her. She was thrown bodily to the ground as the world seemed to fall away under her, not realizing until too late that she'd become once more bound up with Naomi.<br/><br/><span style="color: #808080">"Er..."</span>She started, slightly red faced before extricating herself. It was definitely not the time.<br/><br/>With Kat still fast asleep and Rufflet being nimble but none too bright she wasn't sure how much she could help. It would be Eleyna, however, who proved to be the strategist. As a line of sizzling vegetables were sent into the air by Tentacruel, leading the Snorlax away, Lydia jumped into action.<br/><br/><span style="color: #808080">"Don't just flap there, Rufflet! Help! Draw him away!"</span>Getting the hint, or at least part of it, Rufflet flapped down to the pile of vegetables, snatching one from mid-air after it had been launched and flying in a tempting circle around Snorlax's head, helping to guide him toward the field where the food was landing. As the Snorlax plopped back down onto the ground, seemingly content, Lydia rubbed her rear as she turned to Naomi, about to say something before catching the sight of the glowing Pokemon. 'Tai had started evolving and...Rufflet as well!?<br/><br/>Lydia did a double take, but certainly had no intention of stopping it. She was impressed the little devil had progressed so far so quickly.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
