For one of them, maybe, though given Guzma's experience with the people in this place? He only raises a brow - that's new - and doesn't seem shocked more than surprised by it. Summoning swords - okay, that's a thing now, too, okay. He shoots a look at the lizard and grins at her - oh, he likes this sassy lizard, she's got a mouth and a head on her shoulders. Not only that, but once they're racing through the commotion Roy caused does Guzma catch, out the corner of his eye, the arrow loosed from her bow strike its target dead center. The reaction isn't uncommon, and he ticks off the seconds before shooting out a hand for his pokemon, calling out--

"Fell Stinger!" Ariados lifts her abdomen up, and the two stingers on her rump glow a purple-red light before firing at the ape. With a second to spare, the barbs strike the ape in succession and end it before the poison does. Sorry to kill-steal, Godzilla, but Guzma needed to - Ariados rumbles, and shakes herself a little, feeling that swell of adrenaline. Nice, it worked...she'll be hitting harder now, with that boost to her strength from the kill she just got (by dirty means, but...hey, it worked).

He's sliding down the slop himself, sneakers scraping again a mix of tree-bark and rock and tries to grab for any surface he can find. They're pretty high up in the canopy, and he'd really rather not go out by falling to his death, thanks. What a piss-poor way to go. Ariados, meanwhile, maneuvers the slope as easy as the spider she is, skitter and swerving the coconuts shot at her as she follows after her Trainer and shoots a thread from her mouth, which spatters against Guzma's back and stops his swift descent with a harsh jerk. Ow, that whiplash isn't at all fun, and he fumbles as he tries to catch his sunglasses before they fall to the ground below. Oof, putting those into his pocket, yep.

"Easy girl, lower me slowly and jump down, yeah? We got company..."

Those monkeys with the spears? They're starting to converge on their location now.
