I could also see if Jodie'd be willing to put in some work with getting her to calm down, especially with how much Rue's improved over the months.
[Petrie makes a cooing sound as she's handed the Pokepuff, and releases Ray and Venkman from her hold. She brings the Pokepuff up to her giant mouth and takes an extremely tiny nibble of the treat.
Whatever it is in the rafters takes flight, though it's still hard to make out what it might be- it's still shrouded in shadows, and not at all close to the idiot duo and their Pokemon. Yet. But the Noibat can hear the flutter of leathery wings.]
[Ray playfully nudges Venkman as Petrie takes the Pokepuff.]
And you say I spoil my Pokemon.
[She is cute though and she loves her.]
And maybe Bean can help too! He seems like the kind of guy who'd help someone out when they're scared or worried!
[The Noibat climbs to the top of Ray's head (which he completely ignores, mind you), to see if he can get a better look. He makes another squeaky sound at the stranger. Who are you???]
Not spoiling if it's changing her association with this place from a bad one to a good one.
[Another tiny nibble.
The shape doesn't answer with words. Rather, it swoops down- right for Petrie. The Aerodactyl doesn't notice the incoming attack until it's almost too late, at which point she screeches, throwing the Pokepuff in the air and crouching down, shielding her face with her wings.
The shape flies rather clumsily, but it does successfully grab the Pokepuff mid-flight in its mouth. It's so distracted by its excitement over this that it doesn't realize it's flying straight towards Ray. It's probably gonna collide with Ray face-first.
[The good news is that the Noibat notices it just in time to fly out of the way!
The bad news? Ray is so caught off guard by the sudden attack that he has no time to dodge the upcoming attack. The bat hits him right in the face and he falls over, leaving a notable heart-shaped imprint on his face.]
[Venkman is similarly startled, briefly gaping from his terrified Aerodactyl to his partner's face to the Woobat, which is now lying stunned on the floor following its impact with Ray.]
At least you usually like getting ambushed by weird shit as long as it's- [Ah, yes. Proving his point before he can even make it.] - Interesting.
[He peers at the heart-shaped nose, then at the imprint on Ray's face.]
Looks like you guys match.
[The Woobat stirs, fluttering its wings as it moves into an upright position. It doesn't exactly have eyes, but it appears to be looking from each face in turn. Except Petrie's, since she's still covering her face with her wings.]
I feel like it'd be better luck to not get attacked by bats, Ray.
[The Woobat chirps to the Noibat, reassuring him that it's fine, before it stiffens. With a shriek, the Woobat flies unsteadily towards Venkman's bag.]
Christ-!
[The Woobat attaches itself to his bag and pries free another Pokepuff out of the open pocket.]
[There's a flash of light from the bag's pocket, and Venkman watches with clear shock as the Woobat finds itself enveloped and disappears. He digs his hand into the pocket and pulls out the wriggling Pokeball.]
Shit. It must've clicked the button while- why did I even have empty containment units in here-
[Click. The Pokeball settles.
Petrie finally peers out from behind her wings. Is it gone?]

... Good point. I've had more than my fair share of Pokemon that could kill me.
[Petrie detaches one wing from Ray to grab Venkman again. He sighs.]
Can you calm down? Nothing's even happening, kid.

[A big baby.....
Ray's Noibat suddenly perks up, and stares in a random direction.
That's probably fine.]

She's almost as bad as Roach was. 'Cept Roach started to grow outta being as much of a coward once he got this big.
[He pries his hand from the pocket to reveal what he was looking for- a Pokepuff. He deposits it into the Aerodactyl's claws.]
Here. Eat this and chill out.
[Something stirs in the rafters- curious.]

What just happened.

... I'll be honest, I have no idea.

I'm really starting to understand what you feel like, Pete. I'm starting to wonder if I'm cursed in this dimension since things keep happening to me.
[But! Ray's slight annoyance is quickly dashed when he realizes what hit him.]
Whoa, is that a Woobat?!
[:D]

Oh hey, I heard about this! Apparently it's good luck when a Woobat leaves a heart imprint on your face!

I dunno, it seems like it's been attacking me less than it's attacking you now!

Well it's nice to make a new friend, right Venkie?
[The Noibat looks slightly distress as he goes to root in Venkman's bag for the Woobat. Friend where are you????]
