[ Yuzu Hiiragi, now 17 years old, is incredibly fine. Why would she not be fine? A powerful and loving team of Pokemon, eight badges, and living rather comfortably for being a teenager with no actual concrete place to live long-term that isn't a local inn. Sure, most of the people she cared about are gone, having vanished from her contact list without a word and leaving her alone. Again.

But it's fine! She still has her Pokemon, after all! Besides, she doesn't have time to be sad about things like that when an actual earthquake rocks the region and everyone is suddenly beset by giant derpy-looking metal worms.

Yuzu was quick to rush over to Cherrygrove, thinking that since it's close to New Bark Town, where new arrivals usually show up. Therefore, where there's probably mostly beginners there... and besides, everyone seems to be getting control of the situation pretty quickly all things considered.

On the plus side, a distraction is exactly what she needs. A distraction in the form of a giant metal worm. Should be easy enough to handle, right? Yuzu's team is strong! She's got this! ]


DRILL RUN!!

[ That said... maybe 1v1ing one of the particularly large worms was not the greatest idea. She's certainly holding her own, but as Forte the Dusk Lycanroc rams into and clashes with the giant metal worm, knocking it back a fair distance, evidently it's Forte getting more tired than the Orthworm. ]

Hn... sturdier than I thought...!

[ They've gotta be Steel types, right? Ground type moves and other moves effective against Steel have had better luck with them, but this is seriously just like the Hisuian Braviary's all over again. Heck, staying idle while fighting an Orthworm 1v1 is already dangerous enough that Yuzu has to be riding her rock wolf in order to keep moving... which also puts her in danger considering that Forte is battling, but it's the lesser of two dangers. Besides, it's basically just like Action Dueling at this point. ]

Gh...! Settle down already!! Drill Run!! [ At the very least, Yuzu deserves credit for the fact that she's actually holding her own against one of the stronger Orthworms on her own... even if going alone in the first place is decidedly one of the most reckless things she's done. ]

Ah! [The Orhworm's struggles had Romelle diving for cover! She'd been trying really hard to just avoid them ever since the notice went out, but no such luck! She landed with something akin to a splat near Yuzu and her Lycanroc, her own Quagsire loaming balefully at the wormy creature.]
