A loud crash abruptly interrupted Shalin's work on her tent, immediately followed by the sound of battle. Particularly loud battle at that. She turned around, seeing Kiku staring down a Nidoking roughly the size of her riding Pokémon. The Nidorino Kiku had been chatting with had apparently made its daddy aware of the explorer's presence, and Daddy indeed came...rolling his tongue around his mouth. Mmmm...fresh meat. The powerful behemoth roared and stomped repeatedly with its great weight, causing a cascade of falling trees to encircle Shalin and her tent on three sides, the Nidoking guarding the fourth. There was no escape...not without felling this hungry wild.
"We gotta go, now!" The blonde shouted, rushing back inside the tent and recalled all her Pokémon other than Kiku, who was actively engaging the rival poison-type. He was still Infested, too, meaning no Pokémon medicine would work on her. As much as of an environmentalist as Shalin was, nothing was off limits when it came to her life. Forest fires occur naturally - if she had to cause a big fire to escape with her life, that's what it would come down to. "Kiku, use your Flamethrower!" Shalin cried. The Skuntank dug his paws into the ground to anchor himself before pointing his musk-filled tail at Nidoking.
The gentle but impulsive Skuntank's aim was right on the mark - the hulking Pokémon's face was singed! An excellent blow! Though the wild felt like its face was melting, all it seemed to do was drive the foe to greater anger. It lowered its head and went for Kiku's neck with its giant horn. He tried to sidestep the attack, not able to avoid it completely. At least the horn missed all of his vital organs.
Seeing how effective the fires were, Shalin called for them again. "Again, Kiku! Burn the rest of your musk if you have to!" After discharging the rest of his ignited musk into the Nidoking's chest, it was steaming. Letting out another roar, the tall poison-type dove toward Kiku horn-first, Kiku sidestepping this one in a move that made Shalin's heart skip a beat.
Kiku was out of ammunition, though - all he could rely on after that were his own claws. He bravely ran up to the foe and reared high enough to reach up to where the burned skin was and slash across it. Though the angry wild was looking battered and bruised, it seemed to draw out anger-fueled strength. There was no dodging this Megahorn to the neck, Shalin immediately recalling a Kiku that was having trouble breathing.
As injured as Serena was, Shalin felt the Persian was going to be the best bet at finishing off the Nidoking. "See if you can cut at its chest!" the blonde cried, the adrenaline rush the only thing keeping her alive inside the circle of fallen trees that was starting to catch fire. She ran back into the tent and grabbed her pack. With how fast the fire was spreading, her tent and sleeping bag were both a lost cause. Those could be replaced; her life could not.
The Persian reached for Nidoking's chest, baiting him into covering it with one claw so she could quickly rake at the other. She winced in pain from her previous joint injury, which gave the Nidoking enough time to grab Serena, fling her into the air, and perform a clean stab with his Megahorn.
