-Nami is sent up and flying, completely flattened. Metaphorically.-
Doradan: Oh boy... uh uh uh... Nami, return!
-He pulls out one more Pokéball, shaking at how powerful Sari is.-
Doradan: C'mon, big guy, you've been with me from the start - don't let me down... Go, Xin Zhao!
-He throws the Pokéball, and a relatively small Garchomp takes the field.-
Doradan: Earthquake!
Xin Zhao: <Press the assault!>
-Xin smashes the ground, creating a massive tremor.-

-Herbert's response can just about be made out this time around.-
Herbert: I d-don't want help... I know I need it, but I don't deserve it...

-Herbert gives a pathetic sniffle.-
Herbert: ...T-thank you, but I-
Bishop: <No. Nothing more about how you don't deserve company. As long as you need it, you have mine, and I doubt that it would be presumptuous of me to state that you have Sarah's as well.>

-Bishop watches Lyuri go, then gives a small sigh and turns back to Herbert, who is still crying quietly but no less disconsolately.-
Bishop: <...You keep wondering about whether or not you're a bad person when the simple fact that you're asking that question in the first place should provide you with an answer. For now, just... take all the time that you need. Anything else that needs taking care of can be handled later.>
