You scan the creature... It is very small, but also very powerful it's blade-like arms capable of cutting most man made materials. It's experience is not too great compared to you, so you might have a fair shot as you are right now.

"Hmm... be on your guard", the wizard warned, "this creature may be small, but it is quite dangerous, in particular its blade arms."
He proceeded to open the door and stepped inside, keeping his guard up as he drew Glamdring. 6 in Intelligence to locate the foe.
8 (Ef) in Close Combat +3 from Glamdring into defense. (Total ph.defense: 17)

You find it floating and dancing around... a small creature almost made of paper it seems.

Gandalf kept his guard up but did not show immediate aggression. Instead, he used a spell to understand the creature in an attempt to communicate with it.
"Greetings. I am Gandalf the Grey... hopefully a friend, if you'll let me. I've been asked to try and solve the misunderstanding you seem to be having with the people of this lab. They seem to believe you are randomly destroying their machines... but I imagine there is more to it than that, is there? You were feeling trapped, perhaps?" he suggested, in an attempt to get the pokémon to talk rather than fight. 1 in PL for an action.
6 in Divination (Spoken Thoughts) +2 from Narya's Wisdom ability; total of 8 VS its Intelligence to understand it despite not speaking pokemon.
6 in Social Skills (Kind and Caring, Persuade, Compassionate) +3 from Narya's Inspiration, in an attempt to get the pokémon to consider a potential peaceful resolution.
8 (Ef) in Close Combat +3 from Glamdring into defense. (Total ph.defense: 17)

"Oh? I don't know... One minute I'm flying around, minding my own business, the next I get sucked into some portal and end up in a room full of humans trying to catch me with a net or some sh**." It says crassly. "Can you blame me for deciding to f*** their s*** up to teach them not to mess around with me." He said.

"To some extent, I can, yes. I would never blame you for defending yourself from being caught against your will, of course, and they certainly started it, but if you could escape, that is what you should have done. Destroying these people's belongings only begets retaliation and further violence, which then escalates", the old man remarked.
"Yet I am not here to teach you a lesson. I merely wish to end the conflict before it gets worse. So allow me to make you an offer. You come with us at least until you are out of here and refrain from further unwarranted destruction, and you will suffer no further consequences for your actions here", he offered. 1 to maintain the communication.
8 in Social Skills (Kind and Caring, Persuade, Compassionate, Negotiation) +3 from Narya's Inspiration, to try and get a 'ceasefire' going with the creature in exchange for its safe release.
8 (Ef) in Close Combat +3 from Glamdring into defense. (Total ph.defense: 17)

He paused. "Can you bring me home?" He asked.

"Ah, well... I'm certainly sorry to say, but... it seems that the lesson I mentioned earlier, you may have taught yourself inadvertently. You see, these people who work here are apparently our best hope of opening doors to other worlds, and this here laboratory which you trashed in your desire to pay them back for their actions is the main room where they perform their research on the subject", he pointed out, not wanting the irony of the situation to be lost on the creature.
"...In other words, let's not break anything else and hope what was broken was not done so irreparably. But barring that issue, if there is another way to send you home, I promise I will do my best to find it and let you know, provided no one and nothing else is harmed needlessly", he concluded. 1 to maintain the communication.
8 in Social Skills (Kind and Caring, Persuade, Compassionate, Negotiation) +3 from Narya's Inspiration, to explain the situation - not without mentioning how his earlier outburst of needless violence played a role in said situation - and offering my assistance nonetheless.

"Good to hear. Come along then, hopefully the lab can still be saved. What's your name, by the way?" the old man asked as he led him out. 1 to maintain the conversation.

"I have no name of my own... Humans call me Katakana." He said floating beside you.

"I will call you that, if that's how you wish to be called. Otherwise, feel free to think up a name you deem fitting for yourself", he said with a smile as they headed back to the others.
"The situation is taken care of. My new friend here let me know he did what he did in retaliation for his attempted capture. I informed him of the consequences of his actions, especially given that he wishes to return to his homeworld if possible. I offered him a peaceful resolution in exchange for his safety and freedom", the wizard explained. 1 to maintain my ability to communicate with the pokemon.
7 in Social Skills (Persuade) to explain the situation to both my companions and the scientists.

"Okay. We'll try to salvage what we can in the meantime." She said. "Would you still like to hear a lecture on Ultra Wormholes? I'd hate for you to leave empty handed after you helped defuse the situation."

"I would appreciate that", he said with a nod. "Any information I can get is better than nothing", he said with curiosity, as he did his best to try and understand despite the technological difference. If he at least got the theory, perhaps he could learn to find a magical equivalent in the future. 8 in Intelligence to try and get it.

For two hours you are taught a lot about ultra space, and ultra wormholes.
