[Matthias only barely had time to roll cleanly out of the way of the Lucario's assault, though a solid kick did find his ribs, turning his roll into a tumble as he skidded across the hard ground. He clunched his side, his thermos having rolled off in some unknown direction and his eyes on the body...and specter of Martin who was only a few inches from where he'd been tossed.
He stood up though, holding himself as high as his bruised bones would let him and held his palms out towards the Pokemon. He let his shoulders relax, let the tension in my muscles go, and let his voice carry out softly, yet firmly towards the attacking Pokemon.
"Pokemon are straightforward beings. Let your intentions be known plainly and they will respond in kind. If you are not a threat, they will no more treat you as one than they would a leaf or a rock."
Wise words from old Methuselah. It was time to put them to use.]
I will not raise my weapons against you. I will do you and your friends no more harm and on my word as a defender of Union, I hereby swear that no more ill intent will fall upon you. I care not if you continue to strike me, but leave my friends be. If you wish to carry on, then do to me what you will. I will listen to whatever it is you wish to say and provide you with whatever aid I possibly can.
[After all, it was the duty of the Saviors to provide aid to those who had none. Basil seemed to mirror this sentiment, pushing up against Matthias' back to keep him steady despite his injuries. The most important objective here was to ensure his friends got out safely and that this young lady was given a chance to get away from her life of pain and suffering. This was really all he could do, so far from his weapons and equipment anyways...it was all or nothing it seemed.]
