Zavaal was slow to respond positively, still lying where he was, with his glare maintained on each of the Pokemon in front of him. His red eyes were still hostile, but growing progressively less so as time went on. This society did seem genuine indeed. He hoped they really were.
"..Thank you. Vazza is important to me. I would greatly appreciate finding her unharmed-" Then he stopped, cutting himself off. His ears perked up, eyes thinning to slits, and his entire body tensed at once. He jolted his head to the side, letting out a low and notably hostile growl before suddenly springing up and jolting out of the medical area, without any word or explanation.

Aquilles gave a nod, peeking behind him and waving at Vazza to follow. He glanced back to Chervil with a confirming grunt.
"I hesitate to say she would be comfortable with me, but I'll come along. While we're here, is there any-" Before he could continue, Vazza's entire demeanor suddenly changed drastically. She had gone from cowardly to completely tense. Her face twisted into a small snarl, her eyes thinned, and she perked her head up. With only a low hiss as warning, she suddenly burst forward and slide quickly past Aquilles, Sebastian, and Chervil.
The massive Clawitzer hadn't any chance to react before the large Seviper was off, out of range of his enormous claw faster than he expected. Notably, however, Vazza had shot straight past all of them, as if she didn't even know they were there anymore. She was just off, like a rocket, focused entirely on whatever was in front of her- that being the RS town.
Aquilles mentally cursed himself for not being prepared.
"Crud- She's gone. I'll see if I can stop her." And then Aquilles, too, burst off in a rush with Aqua Jet, pursuing the Seviper.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of town, the two Pokemon came rushing towards each other. Both of them deadly focused, b oth of them prepping an attack. Right at the border of the town, over a fallen tree, Zavaal sprung high into the air with his claws extended, dropping down at Vazza with Slash. At the same time, Vazza's bladed tail began glowing purple, and she swung it forward at Zavaal, using Poison Tail to intercept and collide with the Slash. The impact of the two attacks was equal, and loud, Zavaal's claws and Vazza's tail grinding against each other for a split second.
