"Errr..." Rory began, noticing that Hilda appeared to have actually taken quite a bit of damage from Spinda's stumble. Despite the Spearow putting on a tough face as she returned to the air, her eyes never straying from the spotted bear, Rory felt that she wouldn't be lasting much longer in the battle at this rate. She could risk keeping her in to maybe land an attack, but that also ran the risk of her fainting... "Great job, Hilda! You did well, but I'd rather switch you out than risk you fainting here... I'm sorry!"
Aiming the red and white metallic sphere, Rory sent forth a narrow red beam that surrounded Hilda before drawing the bird back into her ball. Hopefully she wouldn't be too upset later about having barely battled, but perhaps the fact that she was still conscious would ease any frustration. Pushing her mind past that thought, however, the teenage girl did some quick considerations regarding her other available options... and landed on D'Artagnan the noble Ralts.
"Alright, let's give this a go, D'Artagnan!" Rory called out as she sent the Feeling Pokémon into battle, the Psychic/Fairy-type taking almost immediate interest in the thieving Spinda. She knew that D'Artagnan was wholeheartedly for upholding justice, and would therefore do everything he could to save the older woman's undergarments. "Let's start off strong this time with Disarming Voice before Spinda can get away!"

The spinda had gotten up again, only to stumbled once more at the bright flash of light, landing on the ralts that was sent out. OOF! At least the growl the spearow used made the clumsy bear a little more mindful of its own body weight as it floundered about. <I don't want to fight you or any of your friends!> the spinda huffed in frustration. <Why do you have a problem with me being warm at night in the winter, huh? First the spearow and now you? I am just out here collecting nesting material for my den and you all keep getting underfoot for no reason.> This time the bear actively smacked the ralts to get its point across, shoving the ralts to the side as it tried to flee with its pilfered treasures. The ralts, despite being knocked around a bit, used disarming voice on the spinda's back, nearly knocking it from its feet again. The spinda whirled and swayed, pivoting back to face its foe. <SERIOUSLY! Just leave me aloooone.> Wild Encounter

Watching Spinda aggressively retaliate against D'Artagnan, the bear's emotions clearly showing in how it shoved the Ralts to the ground, Rory was suddenly facing flashbacks of her previous battle with Sentret and then Zigzagoon. These thoughts caused the female trainer to take a single step back in hesitation, her heart rate increasing as she saw herself falling towards the same insensitive and aggressive behavior that had brought her such terrible guilt. Even D'Artagnan, who had followed Rory's command without question, appeared to be sensing Spinda's emotions (and probably Rory's as well) as he wavered even if only for a moment.
"D'Artagnan, stop!" Rory called out, bringing the Feeling Pokémon's ball back out as she returned the young one in a narrow beam of red light, effectively ending the battle. After all, was it really that bad to lose a few clothes that could be replaced if it meant a Pokémon could perhaps stay warm... or whatever purpose Spinda had for the clothes. Sure, the older woman would probably be upset with her, but Rory just couldn't do this right now. Taking a knee, she spoke to the spotted bear directly in a soft voice. "I'm sorry for interfering, Spinda. I'm not exactly sure what you need those clothes for, and I'm hoping I won't regret this... but you can go. I won't be trying to stop you. I can't continue to attack you."
"Char?" Alexi questioned from her perch upon Rory's shoulders, a head tilt revealing her confusion at the teenager's sudden unexpected retreat from a battle that had barely begun. A subtle shaking sensation from the trainer's body, however, instinctively led Alexi to curl herself a little bit closer around Rory's neck and try to share a little more comforting warmth as her tiny tongue gently and cautiously licked Rory's right cheek. The Charmander's eyes, though, transitioned from Rory to now bouncing between Spinda and the woman, waiting to see who would react next and how.

"Useless girl!" the old woman scolded. "It's a thieving little menace and a wild animal, not your friend. It will continue stealing if you don't do something about it!" The old woman was very, very crabby. She was still hobbling closer with the cane in her grip. "So either battle it, catch it, or get off my property so I can handle matters." And she didn't look like she'd be handling things the 'nice way'. The spinda managed to get the underthings off its head and was using the argument to gather them all up. It made to run off again, but its clumsy gait caused it to barge right into Rory's legs. Hard. It bounced back and growled. The old woman was getting closer. "Get out of my lawn and give me back my clothes you pest! I will make you regret it." The little bear stuck its tongue out at the old lady and then ran in a different direction, wobbling and bobbing along. Well this was unproductive. With them being in the lady's back yard, it was very unlikely for some random trainer to barge in to help. It was up to Rory to resolve the conflict between the lady and the bear one way or another.
