Speak of the devil...

Soon after Jason mentions things getting lawless, you see two figures approach from behind. One of them tackles the Shinx to the ground, causing him to drop a rock with a strange pattern on it.

"Well, I do beg your pardon," one of the figures, a Koffing, says nonchalantly. Rather than just being a floating head, he appears as a rather portly man that lacks legs, instead hovering above the ground by expelling foul-smelling gases from holes on his body. The other figure, a Zubat, has a much slimmer build with bangs covering his eyes... or at least, where his eyes would be if he had them.

Jason gets back to his feet and glares at the two Poison-types. "Hey! What was that for!?"

"Heh-heh-heh! Can't figure it out?" The Zubat cackles. "We wanted to mess with you! Can't face up to us, can ya!?"

"Wh-what!?" Jason seems taken aback by this.

Koffing, meanwhile, stares at your body, looking you up and down with a perverted smile. "Though we didn't expect you to bring along such a hot piece of ass," he comments. You are immediately disgusted by his gaze.

"Is she hot? I can't tell," the eyeless bat quips. Zubat's attention soon turns to the rock on the beach. "That's yours, isn't it?"

Everyone else turns to look at the rock, and Jason has a look of terror on his face. "No! That's--"

Zubat cuts him off as he snatches the rock. "Sorry, chump. We'll take that!" He taunts, as Jason watches in horror.

Koffing laughs. "Whoa-ho-ho! Not gonna make a move to get that back? What's the matter? Too scared?" He points to you. "How'd a hottie like that end up with a coward like you, huh?"

Koffing moves closer to you, but you breathe a small flame in his face that causes him to recoil. Unfortunately, that seems to only embolden him. "Whoa-ho-ho! She's a feisty one too!"

This Koffing is really starting to get on your nerves.

Thankfully, he soon turns to his partner in crime. "C'mon, let's get outta here," he says, and Zubat nods. "See you around, chicken. Heh-heh-heh!" He taunts before the two of them book it into a nearby cave.

Jason just sits and stares as the thieves run off with his rock, looking distraught. "Oh no no no... what do I do..."
