The swarm of giggles doesn't last too long- fortunately, or unfortunately. These Ditto are here to test their mettle after all, and testing their mettle means actually fighting. Emporio soon finds himself back to back with the bear regardless of what Jack might want, beating at a nearby 'trapinch' with his bonemerang bat.

It's after he batters one back enough to get breathing room again that he turns around and...Uh.

"D...Do you still have energy for that kind of move!?"

The good news is that by the time Emporio turns around, Jack has successfully knocked the Ditto unconscious. The bad news is that the next time he tries to charge up a Thunder Punch... nothing happens. It actually hurts if he strains too hard, which feels a whole lot like being out of EVE. Fuck.

So, the answer is no. And he hasn't taken the time to learn about berries yet, so he is out of energy for that move, but that's- fine. He can deal with that. He's dealt with worse... ignoring the fact that he's died several times by now and always had a handy Vita-Chamber to revive into. It's fine, Jack also hasn't thought that far ahead.

So for now, he just switches over to abusing Fury Swipes over and over again. And occasionally just straight up biting the Ditto that get too close.
