((I'm a speedy writer! Sorry, and don't worry- until Max posts again, I'm stuck at this post being my last.))

Palila looked sideways at Pat, who was out of the van by now, and knuckles who hadn't said one way or the other if she should scout ahead with a bird. Clearly, no answer was a positive answer!
"Well, it'll be good experience for you, so I guess you can go for a fly anyway. Take the baby with you." She directed Oricorio towards the Torchic. At the moment, both of them were fire types so they seemed to be on the same wavelength. The little Torchic held out its stubby wings, and Oricorio carefully wrapped its claws around them. It hefted the baby bird up into the air, struggling with balance more than weight. The two pokemon awkwardly climbed in height until they were slightly above the treeline, then seemed to follow the road towards the Windworks.
At some points the Oricorio slipped and dropped the Torchic a few meters, but would catch it again by a claw or tuft of hair. It was great training! For what? Well, these little birds had no idea. Regardless, they kept up their almost circus-like fly-and-catch routine until they were nearly out of sight. At that point, they both seemed to glow slightly.

As the Torchic suddenly increased in size, while Oricorio decidedly DIDN'T, the plan no longer seemed to work. There was a horrible moment where the two birds in the distance reached for each other and couldn't hold on, so combusken tumbled and disappeared behind the treeline (probably landing somewhere on the road up ahead).
Palila put her hand to her face.
"That is literally the WORST time to evolve..." She mumbled, and began walking around the van to continue up the road and reconnect with her pokemon. Or, possibly, see if they were injured.

As she strolled past the two officers who were knocked out, she tilted her head. They had keys, sure, but they also had other things, surely. They had some pokemon.
"Are we just going to leave these guys here?" She asked aloud, feeling somewhat bitter towards them. Being accused of crimes she didn't commit made her almost want to do some real crimes, just so it was worthwhile being in trouble next time. "They have some pokemon...?" She poked a ball gently to inspect it. A strangely coloured buneary was in one, and another off-colour bunnelby was in another. The other officer probably had a similar set. She supposed they both had standard issue pokemon, and wondered if they were cloned using the same technology that Dash had used to give her the shiny grey eevee.

She waited briefly for a yes or no from the crowd.
