"Yeah, I get what you mean... and I guess that's why. Also, Benji, please never morph into both of us at once ever again."
Mila feels a bit shocked by the sudden influx of information, and the mild body horror that is a combination Raichu-Braixen from Benji isn't helping. However, once she gathers her thoughts, she realizes that this probably means the end-game for Ripley's plan is in motion too.
"Finley? I... I think that more's going on than just this fight. What do we do?"
I need to update these things more often"Wait... what?!" Finley thinks. Fucking shit. It was inevitable that PJ would snap, but she still wasn't prepared for this...
"We have to help somehow!" She grabs Mila by the arm and darts toward the arena.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?Cyk follows cautiously, right behind Finley. She just wants to make sure her friends are safe.
Just made a server on discord.Come join me."Alright, but... what's the plan? I don't know how the fight's going for them, but I don't want to hurt PJ. If I could just... stun him!"
Mila follows along with Finley's lead, but she keeps her eye out for fighting. Even if she doesn't hurt anyone, her electricity gives her enough non-damaging options. Hopefully she can control it better than she controlled herself in the dojo...
I need to update these things more often"Hmm...I could use something like hypnosis on him. You could distract him, and I'd do that"
Just made a server on discord.Come join me."Right! Mila, you try to paralyze him. If that fails, Cyk can use Hypnosis. All the while, I'll be inbetween with Protect! It'll all be okay!"
Upon arriving at the scene, Finley begins.
"PJ! Everyone! Please stop!"
I'm Huney B now. Okay?"Right!"
Mila nods, trying to internalize Finley's plan as best she can in this whirlwind of action, but she's distracted momentarily by Niles calling to her and rushing towards her. It takes her a moment before she remembers that she's still carrying most of his stuff, which she quickly deposits on the ground next to her. She's not entirely sure how much of her remaining Poke is Niles', so she just makes her best guess.
"We can sort out the rest later."

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
. Shit, sorry. Missed it in the skim. I've been rushing these posts because, well, hopefully this will be the last shitty phone post I'll make if my power comes back by when the energy co said. I'll fix it then, explain anything as well once I get on a real PC
*Digda cancels the Rock Slide, not only taking Jani's concerns to heart, but noticing the heavy hearts among the humanmons. Instead, he does a quicker and more efficient version of the move Jani used earlier, Aerial Ace. Instead of forming claws out of dirt, he forms fists — aiming to knock PJ to the ground and merely wind him in the process*
*Jani, meanwhile, is at a complete loss about what to so. Too weak to really contribute, she simply watches the proceedings with tears streaming down her face*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.*I'm still watching the commotion from afar.*
Sure about this? Yep. Now. But there's too many! All the better. Can't stand here mulling it over now, can I? Got some birds to stone. Besides, this is your speciality.
*I begin moving towards the commotion.*
[More voices, more of the others approaching. I distinctly make out Finley's voice: she wants this to stop? I wish I could tell her, we can't stop this, they're not going to give up. I drown her out, drown the others out...I focus completely on Bella. I feel a familiar heat against my lips as they curl into a grin. I pull myself up, wincing as I nearly give, but I stabilize myself with a nearby seat...]
*I narrowly dodge Marlon's Poison Jab and fire off another Gleam at Goobert before he can hit me.*
PJ: "If you were sorry, you wouldn't stand against us! And you!"
*I pick Andy up effortlessly with one hand.*
PJ: "Lemme tell ya, I've got a few choice words for you, ya horny little-"
Yalta: "You left yourself open!"
*Suddenly, I'm struck by a slash from behind, and I freeze up in pain. Before I have any time to react, I'm hit by Digda's Aerial Ace as well, and I drop Andy as I fall to the ground. Defiantly, I stand back up and make a restorative Pollen Puff.*
PJ: "Son of a bitch..."
*Then Finley's voice hits me.*
(What the hell's that pansy doing here? Back to preach about all that nonviolence bullshit and get in the way of our master plans? Ugh, her and her damn cowardice... You know what, fuck it, time to give her a reality check along with everyone else.)
(No... No, I shouldn't be doing this, Finley just wants what's best for us all...)
(If that was the case, she'd let this fight run its course and she wouldn't try keeping me and Bella from doing what we want. I swear to god, of all the times to be having doubting thoughts like this...)
*I take flight and toss the Puff up into the air, letting it crash down on me and soothe the pain that Yalta and Digda's attacks caused. I rapidly begin to build up Gleam energy in my hands as I back up into the arena. Some spectators are still watching, more than a little bewildered. Good, the more people remain, the better this'll all go once Bella kickstarts the finale.*
PJ: "Finley, Andy, all of you just shut up! You're not going to stop any of this! Anyone who gets in the way of me and Bella deserves punishment!"
*My vision begins to take on a dark tint for whatever reason, but I don't question it. I put my hands together and fire off a sweeping Gleam with the intent to hit at least a few of the others.*
Yalta: "Everyone, hit the deck!"
Are you ready? Go live!"PJ, stop it! Don't!"
Mila can't help but panic slightly at seeing the attack leveled at everyone nearby, but instead of cowering she realizes that she has to try and stop him and sends a large jolt of electricity at him, attempting a Thunder Wave to paralyze him. She's leaving herself open to the attack, but she doesn't want him to hurt anyone any further. She can't just wait him out, but harming him won't do anyone any favors.
Well, remember the last time I paralyzed him? God, I hope he doesn't hold this against me. He has to understand, after this is done. We can't lose him again.
I need to update these things more often(I take the one Gleam hit and stumble backward, landing on my rump. Man...that hurt...)
(I watch as Yalta attacks PJ while he lets his guard down, and then as PJ uses Pollen Puff. Then I watch as he charges up another Dazzling Gleam. I immediately heed Yalta's instructions and dive behind Marlon's Protect.)
(Marsha and Delilah watch in shock from a distance as they direct the spectators who are actually leaving out.)
Goobert!! (They both shout.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."As the spectators in the arena begin to flee, they may notice a markedly higher number of Pawniarmy troops milling about, in what seem to be clusters at standardised distances from each other. The entrance in particular was being watched by an Empoleon, accompanied by the Sergeant-Major from the containment zone.
"That's... unexpected," the Empoleon said, scratching his chin. "But we have our orders. Do not intervene. When the violence comes, it comes. And all that, and all that. You got that, Sergeant-Major?"
Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!Finley puts up her own Protect and gets in the way of Mila after she fires her attack, leaving her closed off to any offenses that might ensue.
"Stupid piece of shit is being played like a fiddle..." She whispers to herself.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?Noriaki doesn't quite flinch upon seeing the incoming Dazzling Gleam. He has already held up a single quill in preparation.
With a stoic expression, he throws it forward with great precision right before reeling back from the gleam.
"Hrm, it's a bit early, but this should help a little."
He quickly pulls out an oran berry and munches it away quickly to heal himself somewhat before staring ahead to think of his next move.

On the stands, a calm point in the spectators, a Mienshao watches with an unusual expression.

[...no, wait, that...that wasn't Bella—]
[The Gleam smacks into me, and I fall onto the steps. The breath's knocked out of me: I reel in pain as I recover from my side colliding with the steps, struggling for breath for a moment. The flame escapes me, fizzles away...and suddenly, I feel so very, very weak...]

(Benji comes down from the stands, trying to direct a small family of Quagsires/Woopers out when he spots Finley and Mila. He walks over, briefly turning into an amalgamation of the two of them before returning to his current Noivern form once he gets up to them.)
Hey there, Finley! Mila! Ya sure the two of ya want to be comin' in right now? One of your friends...PJ, he's snapped and is fightin' with Marlon, Goobert, Eliot, and some of the others in the stands because of his crazy girlfriend. (Benji explains.)
