The farm was a change of scenery for Leela. Her life had revolved around cities,mansions, dinner parties, and the upper echelons of Kanto society before the falling out she'd had with her family over her joining the Rockets. She felt a certain...exhilaration in being out here. The peaceful Ponyta, the simple house, and then the three rough and tumble farmhands came out and ruined the entire image. She let out Machoke and one of the three was swiftly tackled by one of the other grunts in the group that'd come with them.
"Hey boys, don't you think you're a bit out of your league here?"
The two morons at least had the sense to sit back and not attack after her Machoke beside her lifted its fists, ready to deal with the two if they'd made a move. She then allowed her newly acquired Bellsprout out and ordered it to use Sleep Powder on the two as they struggled in vain against the grip of Machoke, who had grabbed them after a command from Leela. They were asleep within seconds, and then it was on to just making sure no other would-be heroes showed up. It looked like guard duty was her job this time around. Not that she minded, it was a good enough job for her this early in her career.
The Ponyta could easily turn into a problem, so she kept Rainy in reserve, ready to return the other two if they showed the slightest hint of aggression.
