"Huh?" The girl looked at the group, eyes widening. "Hey! I recognize some of you guys!"
Iroha, Hoku, and Paula would recognize her too: it was none other than Candice, the Snowpoint Gym Leader.

"Candice! You're alive! But the monster said--"
"Who cares what he said?" Candice was already working on getting her Pokemon out of the cart. "We got bigger problems than that thing!"
"'old on, now!" Birdie stared at them in disbelief. "You're tellin' me there really is a beast out 'ere?!"
"Yeah, but he's not the only nutjob in these woods! Let's find your friend and get out of here!" Candice looked around. "Hey...come to think of it, I'm missing somebody, too! Think you can help me find him?"

"As a matter of fact," Karin said, standing up. "I also need to use the bathroom."
"Oh jeez...okay, fine. You guys can go. Just...promise you'll come back, okay? I don't wanna get in trouble with Zoda again..."

The beast roared as Quiet got him right in the eye, and he drew back, howling in pain. This gave Angel the chance she needed to worsen his already substantial wound, and he swung his arm out, knocking her off him and right towards the cave.
"Not so tough now, huh?!" Rimururu took the opportunity to dash forward, pushing her hands out before her. Large icicles materialized and jutted out, entering the gash and making Kusaregedo shriek. The man he'd been fighting with took this chance to retreat into the trees. Seeing this, Hubert gritted his teeth and vanished in a cloud of dark magic, while Kusaregedo howled with rage and charged right for Quiet and Rimururu!

Hilda gave Karin a side-eye that said really? “Don’t worry,” She then told Lancer with a reassuring smile. “We’ll be back before you even know it!”
Grabbing Karin by the arm she started to push her away from Lancer. “Okay…we got away from him…now what? We need to get our weapons back or something.”

Despite her augmentations, the blow knocked the wind right from out of Angel and sent her flying through the air like a ragdoll before she crashed hard into the ground. When she finally came to she saw the monster charging towards Quiet and Rimururu.
Running on pure instinct Angel took off again towards Kusaregedo. Angel would try and shoulder tackle the icicle Rimururu had conjured further into the monster's gaping wound. There had to be something that felled this damn beast.
