[He didn't even bother to respond on the gear--as soon as he saw what had happened he set out, rain and lashing wind be damned. Staying on top of Steelix's head is difficult, but not impossible, though his raincoat is rapidly overwhelmed by the downpour and he's left soaked to the bone. Lucky attempts a Sunny Day once or twice before she admits defeat and lets herself be returned; Strike and Flood will be his eyes.
It isn't long before Strike bounds forward, ears peaked, listening for something that Leon can't catch. In almost the same moment Steelix rushes forward with a grinding roar, and Leon can almost feel their palpable anxiety.
Somewhere ahead, beyond the curtain of rain, he can see light; he expects it to be Odin, perhaps managing a ray of sunshine in a way Lucky couldn't, but no, what he comes upon is stranger still. The sight is horrific, of course--Lightning, pinned under a tree, and looming over her, some strange, lion of a beast, the likes of which he's never seen.
A glimpse is all he gets before Steelix jerks under him, sending him crashing to the mud. He rolls, coming up in a crouch, watching as his pokemon shiver and twitch, anxious, nervous in a way he's never seen them before. Strike makes a keening call for Sen, but doesn't move to reach him.
Leon looks at Entei, on one knee, and decides he'll have to be brave on their behalf.]

Get away from her!
