Big Trouble in Little Kalos

man: You attacked my Tentacruel.
Mali: That thing seemed awfully big for a Tentacruel. How'd it get so big? You wouldn't know anything about the giant Pokemon attacking the city, do you?
man: So many questions from them who are not in a position to ask questions.

Nick: So now what, huh? You're just gonna keep us here?

man: My employers want me to kill you. I consider myself to be a bit more merciful. Even if guests show up unannounced, it is still good to treat them hospitably. So. What are your names?
Mali: I'm Malika! But you can call me Mali.

Nick: Nick...and who are your employers? Is Ozy one of them? *Starts struggling again*

Mali: Nick, take it easy, he said he's gonna treat us hospitably!
man: Ha! Ozy, that little funny man! They suspended him because you kids beat him up!
Mali: Well we didn't really do anything. There was this Umbreon there that-
man: Oh yes, I've read the report. I know that Shade was there.

Nick: And who is this Shade person anyway?

Mali: Yeah, and who are you?
man: My name is Marco, and I suspect Shade is following your little group so there's no point in talking about her. Now my hospitality is at an end. I need to attend to my plans. Swampert, kill them. *walks out of the room*
(the Swampert looms over them, leering)
Mali: Um...any ideas?

Nick: I don't. Please tell me that you do, Mali.

Mali: Can't say I do...wait! I actually do! *spreads her legs in front of the Swampert*

Nick: What are you doing, Mali?

Mali: Don't worry, I have berries in there. Maybe it'll smell them and not kill us?
(the Swampert looks around, sniffing)
Mali: C'mon, they're riiiight here...they're...they're warm, too I guess...*shakes around, trying to loose her berry pouch*

Nick: Oh please let Mali's plan work, Arceus...

(the Swampert finds the bag, and gorges itself on the berries, bag included.)
Mali: Great...now...untie us?
(the Swampert merely stares blankly at Mali)
Mali: Okay I'm out of ideas...

Nick: Maybe we can use this as an opportunity to sneak by it, look for something to cut this rope tying us up?

Mali: Okay....we both stand up in one....two...three! *awkwardly jerks upward in an attempt to stand up*

Nick staggers, but manages to get up onto his feet regardless.

Mali: Alright, now let's just iiinch out the door here...
(halfway out the door, the Swampert turns around and roars, then moves in to attack)
Mali: Gah! Watch out!
(the Swampert strikes Nick in the midsection, destroying the rope holding them together, and causing them both to fall to the floor)

Nick: Ah! Mali! Help!! *Tries to push the 180 pound amphibian off of him*

(Mali swoops in before the beast can get in another strike, tackles Nick, picks him up over her shoulders, and runs down the corridor)
Mali: *rounds a corner, and puts him down* You okay? Not too hurt?

Nick: No, I'm fine... Thanks for saving me, Mali. *Smiles a bit* We should look for our Pokemon and get out.
A roar from the swampert fills the air.
Nick: Like now!
He grabs Mali's hand and runs away from where they last saw the amphibious Pokemon.

Mark and his Pokemon try and keep the giant Pokemon at bay.

Mali: *after rounding a few corners escaping the echoed growls* I don't know where to go! This place is like a maze! A dark, damp maze!
(at the end of the hallway, an Umbreon stares at them in silence)

Nick: Mali? Do you see an Umbreon too? Because I think that's the same Umbreon as before underneath Geosenge...

Mali: You think it has something to do with this "Shade" person we've been hearing about?

Nick: Maybe. What do you think it wants?
