[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.
