DOESN'T NEED A CUT. People should know how this works, if not, just follow other people's lead. I'm gonna set up some strategist threads at the top, for the four strategists to use if they want to, otherwise people should start their own threads.

((Mod Note: Since this has been asked a few times, just fyi, the livestock do not talk. Happy hunting!))

[...! Suddenly, soldier coming up in on Masaomi's blind spot now!]

Oi, Kida, watch out!

[generalflirt]

[He was glancing at Gold as soon as he spoke, which is what causes him to react badly to the enemy. The soldier (who happens to have, of all things, a warhammer, brings down the hammer in a wide arch. Masoami is still air-borne (technically) and thus cannot move in mid-air. He tries to scramble in the instant the recognizes what's coming, but...

Well, he manages to pull his leg out of the way. But it's not a fast enough reaction. The hammer slams down on his foot. Or well, more accurately, his ankle and his foot, and smashes both in mid-air. Fortunately, he completes his pull back before the arc completes and both are sent smashing into the ground, but Masaomi's eyes both go wide and there was a rather large cracking sound from that.

Only made worse when as she scrambles for a landing following that blow, the now healed up (but still aching) wound on his side spikes a bit of pain, distracting him... and the already heavily injured foot is made worse in the form of his ankle twisting from a very bad landing. Or well, half-landing leading into him tripping. Suffice to say, what might have been him landing on his feet is in fact, making him land face-first into this big patch of mud.

Meaning, obviously, this guy is up to you, Gold]

[mischiefbreeder]

--! Kida! [Oh dammit. Dammit dammit dammit. Not good, not good... Okay, Gold is pissed now. Really pissed. Gold knew there was a certain degree of danger involved with being out here. He KNEW that! He knew that he had to do his absolute best out here, not only for his sake, but for everyone's sake...

But he didn't... He didn't put everything he had into it, and now Masaomi's injured. Masaomi's injured, and things are getting more dangerous for them now, and--

...No, there's no use in worrying about that. If he wasn't trying hard enough... Then that just means he has to try harder. Out here, he swore not to kill anyone out here. That's why he was holding back... But now was different. Revenge was in order.

Calling Explotaro and Aitaro over to him, he passes off his cuestick to the latter, who then leaps onto the former's back.]

...Explotaro, Blast Burn! [The Typhlosion reared up its most powerful fire attack, sending an intense wave of fire at the target, the soldier that just took down Masaomi to incinerate him. The attack is further augmented by Aitaro, who rapidly twirls the cuestick to fan and enhance the flames, spreading them out. Anything caught in the wave...

...Well, let's just say the Third Party will be lucky if they can call themselves the Third-Degree Party after that.]

[generalflirt]

[Masaomi... meanwhile, is trying to get back on his knees. He knows he can't afford to be face-down at a time like this and he has to do something to make himself less vulnerable. It feels so hot here, but... after a short struggle, he gets onto his hands and knees. The pain he's feeling in that one ankle though... it's amazingly bad. And though he isn't looking at it, this ankle is currently bent at an angle an ankle should not be bent at. It's probably a little gross looking.

But yeah he's just struggling to barely get up. Fortunately, there probably aren't any more soldiers in the direct area]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold heaves a sigh of relief, glad to be done with that, before looking at Masaomi's situation--

...Yikes. That leg... does not look good. Gold walks over to Kida, his Pokémon falling after him.]

...Come on, dude, let's get you some help. [And now trying to get underneath Masaomi to help him to his feet--err, good foot.]

[generalflirt]

[...Dammit. He leans in on Gold, looking down at his foot. He tries to move that leg... the knee works, but his foot just. dangles there in a way a foot should not dangle. He almost feels sick, but shakes that off in favor of trying to put weight on the other leg to stand.]

...Yeah, okay, Gold.

[Hope you can lift him btw Masaomi actually has a sane (actually on the high side, muscle) weight for his height unlike every other anime character ever]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Well, Gold's stronger than you'd expect from someone his age. Living in the world he's from requires someone to be in peak physical condition to handle anything that comes at you.

...Regardless, Masaomi's heavier than Gold can feasibly handle, especially when combined with fatigue and trying to be tender with him. Thankfully, Gold's got two Pokémon to help him out in the form of Aitaro and Politaro, providing him the proper leverage and support to move Kida onto the back of Explotaro.]

[generalflirt]

[ON TO THE BACK OF SOMETHING? But okay, he is in no position to resist. In fact, once on the back of the thing he tries to get a grip with both of his arms, but he's not really sure.. where. He's reminded of the first time he tried to ride Sapphire's flying dinosaur. It makes him laugh weakly]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Need something to grab onto, Masaomi? Well, giving Explotaro's build, that may be difficult to do. But Aitaro's got you covered. Leaping onto Aitaro's head, it curls itself around Explotaro's neck, offering its tail as a sort of makeshift rein for Masaomi.

Gold, meanwhile, is pulling out his skateboard from his backpack, stepping onto it.]

Don't worry, Kida... Everything's gonna be alright...

[generalflirt]

[That's convenient. Masaomi grabs that tail, using it for a much needed sense of support and... well. Just knowing he won't fall. He's gritting his teeth by now and willing himself not to pass out or anything, so he just makes a sound of agreement at old, turning his head to look at the other boy better while leaning up against the dino-thing's back]

[wise_maiden]

[Whenever the boys get close enough, the group that Raine is with seems to be slowly returning to the base camp as well, given the lateness of the day. There hasn't been too much for her to do on the field but remain alert for injured, though the pair may spot her first as well.]

[mischiefbreeder]

[...! Finally, someone! Maybe they could help...]

Hold up, Explotaro... Hey, wait up! [Explotaro stops following alongside Gold, while he kicks his skateboard up into his arms and starts running towards Raine's position.]
