[So, the apple he was going to shove at Ace's biting mouth? He throws it straight at you, Niou. Jerk.
But then Marui runs out of things he could distract Ace with, so when the next bite comes, he blocks it with his arm and the Girafarig bites down on it and doesn't let go, opting instead to chew on Marui's arm. Or at least that's what you'd expect, but Cougar the Machamp steps in the way and it's his arm that gets bit (and he takes damage from the move, and his defense is lowered a bit).]
C-Cougar! [The Machamp gives Marui a thumbs up with one hand, and with a third, he starts patting the front half's head to calm it down.] ...Thanks, I guess.
[Then he shoots Niou a glare.] Look, the Pokemon are being more useful than you are. What are you doing there, anyway?
