[Pokémon Trainer Lillie]

Lillie halted at Lusamine's request. “--Oh, sorry Mom.” she softly apologized. Honestly it could've come from anyone. She wasn't the type to ignore a hand placed in her path. But it wasn't until she was in there and took a moment to well... smell where they were headed that it occured to her what Lusamine meant. A visible shudder of discomfort escaped her. It would've been much easier to do this if she hadn't been made to hesitate, but well... That was the way the cookie crumbled. She dutifully held her place until Lusamine began to enter, beckoning Nebby. Jr to follow her as she closely followed behind her mother. She was definitely uncomfortable being here, but she forced herself along with shallow breaths. Lillie remained quiet while her mother and this stranger spoke, sort of absorbing what was going on. The other's words definitely troubled her, as it almost sounded like they were trying to help. She was also making concerning accusations toward Lusamine of pokemon abuse, which Lillie definitely didn't want to support.

But ... Was Lusamine really the type to abuse her pokemon? Was aether foundation that bad? Watching Snuggems get badly hurt like that was definitely upsetting to Lillie, but so were most pokemon battles on some level. But she also appreciated the way Lusamine had spoken to Snuggems afterward, and while she definitely remembered the Aether Foundation being involved in some questionable things, they didn't make a habit of abusing pokemon, did they? ...Would Genesect wind up like Type Null?

...Lillie shook her head a bit. No. She chose to believe in her mother's better nature. She wanted to believe the red haired woman was just mistaken and that they'd do their best for Genesect's sake. She really didn't want to revisit having to stand up to her mother. It was the last thing in the world she wanted to go through again. --Hey what did they mean by goon?? Did she look like a goon to them?! Ugh. Lillie narrowed her eyes slightly at the woman's remark in an unamused fashion, but declined to comment. Regardless, the remark snapped her out of her thoughts, and a command was given to fight. Here was her second chance.

“Nebby, use Stored Power!!” Lillie commanded. Nebby Jr. hopped into action, floating forward and summoning a pulse of cosmic psychic energy to explosively impact one of the shadow trio.

1j60mu_Wp_1d20+3 (Stored Power @ Shadow Triad; Does 32% Damage)

Fully enveloped in an adrenaline panic now that she'd just finished attacking a person, Lillie then turned on the triad member brandishing a weapon. “Again!” she commanded. However, Nebby Jr tried and failed to ready another stored power. He needed to store more power before he could use it again, after all~! So he settled for confusion instead.

p_1d20+3 (Confusion @ Another Shadow Triad; Does 10% Damage and has a 50% chance of confusion)

He then began building power back up for another strike!

((Nebby Jr. finished with Cosmic Power))

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Yōko would curtly nod to Lusamine, those eyes looking as though they were headlights that could frighten a deer on the road her hand on the walkie talkie uttering in an ominously hoarse tone that made her sound like a Yautja when it speaks.  "If yOu wAnT PrEcIoUs pRiZe, cOmE AloNe.  No oThErS ShAlL JoIn yOu." Yōko would speak, before turning off the Walkie talkie to ensure that radio silence could be maintained.

"Will you cover us, ma'am, we shall take down the lady." Yōko would ask Lusamine, as it would be necessary for the group to strike the two simultaneously without much trouble.  Thankfully Yōko had taken not so serious harm to herself with that firaja spell she blasted an opponent with earlier, so she could still heal herself off and torment her opponents if need be, but decided that the best thing to do is to terrorize and traumatize the victim with some light wounds and scarring of their body by way of making them suffer for their sins, by way of a Foxfire combo.

Then unleashed Belphagor again to make the foes fall asleep.

Then promptly burns the lady grunt again with Foxfire...

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The readied battle stance that both the Plasma Grunt and Shade took did not prepare them for what came next. From Yumiko, Nebby, and Yoko came a volley of attacks, all of which ignited their end of the sewer canal faster than they could perceive. Multiple waves of fire singed at their skin, causing them to recoil back, only to trip up and fall flat on their backs from Yumiko’s summoned gust of wind. Just as the ninja was about to leap back onto his feet, he felt a wave of psychic disruption assault his mind, causing his body to crunch as he clutched at his head in pain.

[Mind-Melted Chance: MfvY45Fmp_1d100] <8>
[Duration: p_1d20+2] <10>

[Burn Chance: p_1d100] <1>
[Duration: p_1d20+1] <9>

Yoko would continue to pour on the flames, her foxfires surrounding the female grunt as she attempted to reclaim her footing. The flickering embers jumped at her, searing her skin the first time, though she managed to pull herself away from the second, only to catch herself again on the next.

Amidst the chaos that had befallen the trio, the constant use of flames from the opposition had caused their side of the arena to become considerably hot. The cool fog that had once surrounded the ice cubed Genesect was turning into more of a mist, more prevalent water droplets arising from the surface of it. Its containment was melting, and fairly quickly at that.

The Lilligant was still trooping on, despite all the backlash it was receiving. Her viny appendages were still tightly wrapped around the frozen bug, desperately trying to pull it out of the line of fire. Unfortunately, being in the line of fire had caught the creature’s vines aflame. A panicked look arose on the Lilligant’s face. With a sweep of her leaf bladed arm, she severed the vines, hopping backward in fear of being caught aflame as well.

As the plant creature panicked, she felt a strange wave of sloth overwhelm her senses. The distress had suddenly turned to a mellow boredom, her eyelids reducing to half mast as she yawned. Before she knew it, she was flat on her back, fast asleep. She wasn’t the only one though. Shade’s mental distress turned to a calm sleep, and even the Plasma Grunt found her eyes beginning to shuttered.

Fortunately for the Plasma Grunt, such things pass quickly. Yoko’s unrelenting assault brought upon the woman another searing foxfire, one that smacked her in the chest like a forceful palm strike from a martial artist. She was awake once more, though only drearily conscious. After the full-scale assault she took, it seemed that she was only barely hanging on. “Steve? Who are you even-” she replied to Yumiko, though shook her head, as if she didn’t even have time to consider what nonsense they were going on about this time. She couldn’t be tricked by words anymore, she needed to turn the tables and fast.

She rushed over to the sleeping Shade’s side, rustling the ninja’s body. “Wake up! C’mon, you were Ghetsis’s elite for Arceus sake” she murmured to herself.

For Shade, the world was spinning. Even as he regained consciousness, he immediately felt the stinging pain of the burns on his shoulder, the hum of white noise consuming his mind. He was one foot in the grave, and he knew it. He sprung up to his feet, eyes glaring at the six on the other side of the tunnel. They were certainly not as worse for wear as they were, there was no victory to come of a continued struggle. As always, he still had a trick up his sleeve. From his back pouch, he produced two items, a Master Ball and an Assist Trophy. He threw them both forward, leaping backwards triumphantly.

From the flash of the purple Pokeball came forth the form of the moon’s emissary, the bat-like Lunala. From the sparkling Assist Trophy came a creature of equal size and presence, the Great Dragon of Etrian. For the moment, they acted as great walls, blocking the party from coming any further.

The Great Red Dragon bellowed a blast of sheer fire upon the opposition, their side of the battlefield becoming consumed with a torrent of inferno. While the dragon hit them low, Lunala took to the highest point of the cavern, glowing like the moon on a serene summer night. Her gaze fell upon that of Yoko, right before she unleashed her signature Moongeist Beam.

[The Great Dragon: DC to dodge is 13, deals 5% damage and has a 100% chance to Burn. This targets everyone]
[Lunala: DC to dodge is 15, deals 34% damage and ignores all buffs that reduce its damage or the target’s ability to dodge. This only targets Yoko]

Hastily, while his beasts took on the rest of the group, Shade retreated to his sleeping Lilligant, shaking her awake. “We’re leaving” he bluntly explained. Without needing any further words, the plant creature nodded her head diligently and leapt to the top of the ice cube. She swayed her head left and right, as if she was sloshing a chemical concoction in her head. Before too long, a eruption of pollen exploded from the crown of her hat-like flower, covering the other end of the battlefield with a dust that would no doubt be gentle on the senses. In fact, it would make them all quite drowsy, save for the insomnia ridden Yumiko of course.

[Lilligant’s Sleep Powder: DC to resist is 14, this is a CON based resistance roll. If it is not met, you will be inflicted with Sleep. Targeted at everyone]

The pollen would sprinkle down on the battlefield like a smokescreen, which was helped greatly by the two giant monsters blocking the tunnel. Like the ninja he was, Shade took this opportunity to scamper off into one of the stray tunnels on his end of the sewer, Lilligant following directly behind.

Of course, this left both the Plasma Grunt and Genesect unguarded and all alone. The furious red head would not let this go unnoticed. “You swore an oath!” she shouted in the direction of the fleeing Shade. Much to his nature, there was no reply from him. Exasperated, the woman placed her back against the frozen Genesect, eyes looking at the ceiling. “Why do I trust anyone at this point?” she muttered to herself.

She collapsed to the ground, sitting awkwardly as she rummaged through her pockets, left on her own to make a last stand. She pulled a Smart Bomb out, chucking it like a frisbee at Yumiko. Then, produced in her other hand, a blue Spiny Shell. The winged demon flew forward, seeking out Melody.

[Smart Bomb: DC to dodge is 12. This will deal 30% damage. Targeted at Yumiko]
[Spiny Shell: DC to dodge is 16. This will deal 28% damage. Targeted at Melody]

It was a quick and decisive first strike. Every single shot that her team had made hit their marker dead on. It was the perfect first move, causing a pretty little smile to grow on Lusamine’s lips. Amidst the chaos and all the missteps that this day had brought, finally something was going right. Victory was so close she could taste it.

Unfortunately, not everything was always so cut and dry. As a last-ditch effort, the ninja boy tried to use the goddess of the moon against them. In that moment, Lusamine’s eyes were distracted by the sheer presence of Lunala, the beauty of such a magnificent creature catching her off guard. Of course, she mistook the beast for the real thing, it took only seconds for her to realize it was a fake when it fired its knock off Moongeist Beam at Yoko.

In the meantime, she backed up a bit as the flames from the Great Dragon consumed the battlefield. This is why she usually kept her distance in a battle, such unsavoury things tended to nip at her pristine beauty. Melody was caught in the middle of it though, her concentration was maintained on keeping the fairy lights on so that they could see what was happening, so she could do little to avoid the flickering flames. It burnt a layer of charcoal on her scales, but that only seemed to enflame them, making them look much tougher as a result.

[Burn Duration: p_1d20+2] <13>

Before they could so much as recover from the flames of the Great Dragon, a cloud of spores descended upon them. The Sleep Powder fluttered directly in front of Melody, going in through her nostrils and settling the sea serpent’s mood until it was gently put to sleep. Good night, Irene.

[Melody’s Sleep Powder RESIST!: p_1d20+2] <3>

Amidst the smokescreen of spores, Lusamine detected movement with her squinting eyes. She swore, she could just barely make out two figures fleeing from the other side of the battlefield, escaping further into the tunnels. They couldn’t possibly move that quickly with the frozen Genesect, meaning that someone might have just abandoned their quarry. A smart decision, she thought. “Oh, my brave little fox spirit, I don’t think we’ll have to worry much about the lady’s reinforcements” she responded gently to Yoko’s request.

As the Lunala and Great Dragon poofed away into smoke, all that was left was the red headed Plasma Grunt and the frozen Genesect that she was pressed up against. Not only that, she was within an inch of collapse, her last heroic stand against the greater good. “A valiant effort, but ultimately fruitless” Lusamine complimented as she stepped forward once more.

Without much caution, Lusamine simply walked down the length of the tunnel, the Smart Bomb and Spiny Shell sailing directly past her. The explosions erupted behind her, the Blue Shell in particular waking her Milotic out of its slumber, though, admittedly, it was a rather harsh wakeup call. Once Melody was to her senses though, she quickly slithered over to Lusamine’s side.

Lusamine halted, standing no more than a meter away from the Plasma Grunt, placing a hand on her hip and casting a shadow over the young woman. Before she could gloat some more though, her eyes became wide as she looked upon the dethawing Genesect. She could have sworn that its eyes were shimmering with light. She turned to her Pokemon, commanding “Melody! Maintain the ice cube’s structure!” quickly.

Like an obedient pet, the Milotic nodded and slithered around the frozen Genesect, producing an icy cold water from her mouth that resumed the frosty fog that was settling around the frozen figure.

Looking back down at the Plasma Grunt though, she pursed her lips, as if deciding her fate then and there. “I doubt she’ll be coming quietly. I think the police force would much prefer her trophy. Yumiko, Yoko, if you would be so kind as to finish the job” she asked pleasantly, as she stepped aside, carefully overseeing the refreezing process of Genesect.

With Yumiko no longer affected by the worry seeds, she was able to focus again, as well as act more polite to those around her. The first thing she did now that she was more focused was dodged the attacks the opposing group fired at her and everyone else.

"We lost another one of our group members, and something tells us you and your group have something to do with his disappearance." Yumiko told the Plasma group. With Yoko and Lusamine's intervention, the enemies were almost dealt with now, leaving only the Team Plasma woman left as the main target for the group.

As Lusamine had stated, it would appear that she would not be arrested willingly and that the only way for them to take her out of these Sewers was to tropify her. Yumiko nodded in response to Lusamine's request.

"Right, let's do this quick, before she manages to call reinforcements. Whatever happened to Steve then she and everyone else that are working for her can answer to the Police." Yumiko would proceed to fire her most powerful attack at the Woman which was a maziodyne.
