This thing could crush all three of them. All of them knew it. Mink, loyal, courageous thing that he was, would face it head on if he needed to. Kaz was more avoidant. He was a prideful, powerful Pokemon but he knew strength when he saw it, and this Ferrothorn had it in sheer size alone. He was not eager to get in a battle, but he was also not eager to watch his companions getting crushed.

A lot of things happened when the Ferrothorn made its decision. Luka took a few retreating steps back, up until he felt water seeping against his bare feet again. It would be hard to escape, but he saw no other option, his eyes darting around their surroundings for somewhere to hide. Mink was immediately on the defensive, but was only one Pokemon. He could only target one of the tendrils. Or... he could target the creature itself. And he did exactly that, racing towards the Ferrothorn and targeting the one vine left for support with a Low Kick.

Kaz, who felt at least mildly responsible for all of this, drew himself in low and Growled. "Wait!" he demanded, "We have food! We have berries!" He wasn't sure if he'd heard bitterness or not in the creature's tone when it spoke of getting food from the humans, but one look at it told him it wasn't what anyone would consider 'cute'. 

This wasn't good. Luka was an ambitious boy, but he was fairly sure they were severely out leveled. But he also didn't want to leave both of his Pokemon stuck here, either. "What did you say it it?" he snapped at Kaz, clearly knowing enough to blame the one responsible. At least, partly responsible. "What does it want?!"

"Food!" came the Grookey's response! And it touched its mouth when it did, making Luka understand. 

"I have food!" he indignantly shouted, like that might be enough to end the battle then and there, "Do you even eat humans?!" Most grass-types didn't. 

Mink uses Low Kick!

A lot of things happened at once. At first, the pokemon was too busy reaching for the human to focus on much of anything so when the blow came to its body, it flinched and the vines tugged back to its sides, moving to check itself where the hit had landed before his eyes darted to the fighting type. A shine of pale green moved over the pokemon body, speeding up its vines before it moved to throw out one of its vines, only pausing as the other grass type spoke.

Seeing the little thing trying to speak to its human, the pokemon paused for the smallest of seconds. "your brat pet hit me, i by rights can hit it back" the pokemon grumbled out, though at the mention of food, its eyes did dart from the human to the grass type it was speaking to and then back to the human. "Workers dont feed pests, well, not the ones with big eyes and fluff" the pokemon groaned, its tone sarcastic as he turned his focus back to the fighting type.

Mink was braced for attack. He was a fierce little Pokemon who did not balk at the idea of battle. He'd taken down bigger opponents before, though admittedly... not this big. He was ready to dodge, light on his feet and staring warily at the massive steel-Pokemon. 

"You can try," the Pokemon bit back. But Luka and Kaz were both trying to quickly make amends on his behalf. The Pokemon hesitated, and though Luka didn't speak Ferrothorn, he could tell it had been around when he'd offered food, immediately digging his hands into his bag and pulling out an oran berry. Hell, he pulled out two.

Kaz was a powerful little Pokemon who was great in a fight. But he was also strategic and thoughtful, and could tell quickly that this wasn't a battle they wanted to continue. As funny as it would be to watch Mink get smooshed to smithereens. And so with the odd exchange between trainer and wild Pokemon, he dashed back to Luka and took one of the berries. 

"Do you want it?" he asked, slowly making his way back to the dual-typed Pokemon. Slowly. Because as funny as it would be to watch Mink get smooshed to smithereens, he wasn't eager to have it be him instead. "You can have the second when we leave. In one piece, and not crushed."

Luka could tell that his Pokemon had a plan, and let his arm fall. There was still tension in the air, but he wasn't running again. Not yet. 

Luka offers two berries!

The steel type watched the human, the small fruits it bore from where ever it was humans kept these things were the type he knew of and were good for healing when one was feeling tired or had been going a little too long. He didnt tend to take a lot of damage himself, only exertion, so he figured they were trying to apologise for their brat. All the same, he didnt waste the moment before himself, allowing another roll of green to sheen across his surface as he went on to speak.

"Two? Maybe for yourself..." the male muttered out, waving a vine around at the trees around himself. "They grow back, and you have a human, they do that" he went on, his slow tone again picking over his words as he spoke. "No, double your offer, then the brat can avoid becoming a furry paste on the floor" the pokemon added after a pause long enough to become uncomfortable, the eyes on the grass type as he spoke, but his tone loud enough that he expected the human to hear too.

Mink stomped his foot and Leered when the other Pokemon raised its defenses yet again. "Stop that, or we're not gonna trust you!" he snapped, though in all honesty he already didn't trust the Pokemon as far as he could throw him, which right now was also not far. Though the little Mankey did feel an immense sense of pride in having stopped the first attack, and single-handedly hurt the thing.

The fur on Kaz's back also rose when he heard the slow-speaking creature complain about what was being offered. "Mine doesn't," he bit back, knowing Luka hadn't yet attempted to grow one of the berries he'd gotten. But his complaint was more like a grumble, stopping in his tracks when it wasn't completely clear if this arrangement was going to go through.

"What does it want? Does it want more?" Luka gathered enough information from the exchange, even if he could only somewhat understand one side of it. That's all that had! Or.. maybe they had five. Either way, this was becoming an expensive stop. "Fine! Four then." He only said it after inspecting the contents of his bag, knowing they had one more. And technically, he knew they could grow it. He had the supplies to do so, even if the thought of planting something and maintaining it sounded dull. 

"But two now, two later!" Kaz insisted, and Mink dashed off to collect the rest of the berries from his trainer before supplying Kaz with another. "Especially with you armoring up every available second." The distrust was evident, but finally the Grookey had two of the berries and was slowly (he wasn't great on two feet) walking them over to the large Pokemon.

Mink uses Leer!

Luka reluctantly offers four berries!

The steel types grin became something close to a leer as the group seemed to slowly agree with it, eyes moving from one speaking pokemon, to the human, and over to the other. The vines of the pokemon twitched a couple of times, clearly considering something but as the agreement seemed to be made, the pokemon settled itself and nodded, slowly, eyes moving over the grass type again.

"First two" it replied simply, reaching one vine down low to the ground and inching it over the soil before pausing in front of the human. Its body shifted a little as it did this, hanging in the air and seemingly considering something again, but it didnt move, instead, waiting to see if the human would keep to its deal.
