With the help of the two pokemon, Period, Beatrice, and Xavier, the stone slowly shifts away and the man slides out as soon as he can.
He gently massages his shoulder and checks his range of movement. After realizing that he's not going to be using his off arm for anything strenuous, he turns to the two of you.
"Hey, thanks, I was really in a bind there. Caught between a rock and a hard place, even." He doesn't laugh at his own terrible joke.
"You, one of you wanted a potion?" He starts walking towards his pack, picking up one pokeball and clipping it to his belt. The dog picks the other one up. The weird black claw pokemon heels.
