Did those...did those blueberry radish monsters just shoot murder petals at the teddy bear child? OH HELL NO! Catrina is seeing red and damn it all, this candle is about to ruin these Dittos' day.

"STAND BEHIND ME JACK, I'LL PROTECT YOU!" Catrina might not be the best of medics and isn't...you do not want first aid from Catrina, but Catrina is a good little brawler of sorts for the most part. Scrunching up her face like she bit into a lemon Catrina goes to use Psychic...

A bunch of rocks start levitating up from the ground..

Oh Dittos, there's an incoming psychic rock storm coming provided by a very angry candle...

Jack ends up sort of frozen in place at first, just... staring at her. Because across his entire span of memories - false or real - he can't actually remember someone rushing in to protect him of their own volition. His false memories painted him as the sort of cocksure go-getter that never needed rescuing, and his real memories... well, he's never been valuable enough to warrant it.

He blinks back to reality the next time those petals slice into him, and he scrambles to get out of the way while the Dittos turn their attention to Catrina. He doesn't want to move too far away - just far enough to duck behind cover and lick some of the honey off his paws. It should give him some health, at least, even if he's lost his human(?) body's terrifyingly efficient metabolism.

And he's keeping an eye on Catrina, just in case she needs help. Because he is absolutely willing to jump back in regardless of how dangerous it is for him.

Well...Catrina got a nat 20 on her dice roll with the Ditto...

You can hear that ominous boss music now as the rocks rain upon the Oddish disguised Ditto and it was relentless. Catrina would've been cackling maniacally at the scene, but she wasn't. No, Catrina was far too pissed off to even register just how successful this was.

Some of the 'Oddish' start running off from the war machine known as Catrina and her Psychic induced rock storm...Catrina what the hell did you do!?

"You better fucking run and be sure to tell yah little buddies about it!" Catrina goes to risk a glance and check on how Jack was holding up.

"Yah doing okay there, Jack?" Catrina...there's still some OdDittos there..
