I'd have expected her to stand her ground and judo-flip him despite a couple of scrapes, but as it is, she doesn't seem to think she can beat him, or want to try even though she's mad at him. She does seem scared of fighting and risking worse injury when she runs instead.
I hadn't even considered that. But Lucki's not much of a twink sue, so even before the absol, she wouldn't have fighting ability. Someone would have to show up and help her.
Lucki's running because she doesn't think she could take Keegan in an actual fight, but does think she could outrun him. (He's two years older, male, and probably actually trained in fighting) In a fight, he'd pin her pretty fast, as he does when he finally does get her. She's not going to surrender if she doesn't have to. She's also running, in part, because he's chasing her and she's doing anything that Team Magma/he doesn't want. She's getting injured doing so, but it's more spite than fear.
then wouldn't the Aqua that did have the right orb actually be able to control it enough to keep from all getting killed?
Yes, but game Team Aqua's stated goals amount to "unrestrained and potentially apocalyptic downpour whee!" anyway, with the idea this is somehow helpful tacked on. In Lucki, they just aren't trying to make the world a better place. They're well aware of the fact that meddling with the existing balance is going to cause cataclysms, and that's why they're doing it.
It would be an interesting fanfic where the regular game team got the correct orb, though. GAH PLOTBUNNY.

For pirate cosplaying? o.o?
It makes more sense than anything else!
