Hmm... [Sagi scratches his chin about halfway through the monologue. He feels awkward just standing here.] That might be overdoing it.
[Apparently even mister "may my blade be sharp" can get embarrassed eventually. If you tried to deliver a speech that long to an actual monster, it would just eat you, you know?
But Hythlo keeps going. Presently, he goes on long enough that before Sagi can interrupt him for real, Mudkip toddles over to Hythlo of his own accord and hazards a little tug at his sarong just to check he's okay.
This means that when Hades Leers at him from inches away, he is no longer on guard. He jumps in surprise, emitting a little squeak. Specifically, having determined Hades' solidity earlier and it still being in the back of his tiny mind when he panics, he Tackle-jumps onto Hades. Accidental relay combo!]
[As expected, or perhaps unexpected, things go even worse than they already were going to go.
Hythlo gets distracted from his dramatic monologue by the tiny tug on his clothes, and Mudkips are still absolutely adorable to him... so he can't help leaning down to pet the little axofrog? frogolotl?, which in turn means that when Hades throws a Leer at Mudkip and Mudkip panickedly attacks in turn, well, it means that Hythlo gets half a faceful of tiny fin-tail as Mudkip jumps back after slamming into Hades, who gets knocked back with an indignant screech.
Clearly tired of getting wailed on like that, Hades charges in again with another Astonish. He's getting pretty worn out and if he gets hit one more time, he's going back into his Pokeball no matter what Hythlo says, but he can't just let the soggy chicken get away scot-free!]
[Mudkip flinches in further surprise, forgetting to retaliate. Sagi also winces, but only in sympathy. Getting slapped in the face with a little frogfish tail while trying to pet it can't be more than a couple steps below getting slapped unconscious by preschoolers on the indignity ladder.]
Oh, uh - too late now, but that's another thing. Try not to get too close when they're like this.
