I stand and size the four they have up. There is definitely a difference in skill between the four in front of us, even with type advantages in mind. And more importantly they clearly consider me to be the bigger threat of the two, which is fine enough. The important thing in this fight is to probably fight on the defensive at the same time. I cannot think of being able to simply burst through them all. If anything, a slower fight would be in our favor. Those humans would likely go to the authorities and if those show up Rocket will run away and the two of us can slink off as the police would not have any interest in a couple of seemingly wild pokemon. But I need to survive until then. And I also need to make sure that I put my own survival first and foremost. I’ll do my best to keep Maria from being caught, but if she’s caught I can always get her back. Possibly steal the ball and make a break for it. But if I get caught it’s all over. I can definitely tell they are pairing themselves off. The Ursaring and Polytoed are clearly looking only at me, leaving the other two only looking at Maria, meaning they don’t expect the other one to fight. We’ll just have to use that inexperience to our advantage.

((After I got to the coloring phase one thing that really struck me about this image is that it comes across a lot like the battle layout to the old Phantasy Star games.))
