Daring only to spare the briefest glimpse at his clenched hand to confirm that he does, in fact, have the mushroom secured, Ryner immediately leaps away from the Paras, caring more about distance than grace even as he drops into a roll.

(From his off-hand, he inconspicuously drops an Oran Berry behind him as he leaps. A moment of butter fingers, a purposeful distraction, a peace offering, or a thank you gift? Mmm, probably not that first one at least.)

And then, once he's back on his feet, he starts running, having to trust that the path is clear. His Growlithe catches on to the situation quickly and starts bounding after him, still ready to set things on fire at a moment's notice but otherwise just having a good time, all told.
