[The bird does take a vicious swipe at Ford's head as it passes, but LUCKILY FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED, this Talonflame is actually very freshly-evolved, and isn't quite used to being in such a big body. So its talons rake at his hair, but don't manage to catch skin.]
[Angel's Ingrain begins to shift the rubble, and a head emerges from the dirt with a burst of coughing. Hard to tell that it's HEATHER just yet, but it's apparent that it's a young woman, anyway.]
[And right about at the same time that happens, another creature joins the party-- a Lucario, golden-furred, comes leaping up onto a displaced boulder. His shiny coat isn't so shiny-looking at the moment, because he just had to dig himself out of the landslide too.]
[But unlike his feathered team-mate, he doesn't jump to the immediate conclusion that Ford and Destroying Angel are enemies.]
[Instead, with a slightly hoarse bark, he leaps down and immediately joins Ford in digging his trainer out.]
