"They don't seem to be coming."  The man with the blue eyes mumbled, letting his arms fall to his sides, fists clenched in agitation.  "Why do these damn drifters need to always be heroes?"  He shook his head and started calling again when a man with an ugly looking gash on his head fell to his feet.  A disembodied limb floated above him looking for all the world like it belonged there.  "Well at least this one came."  The blue eyed man sighed.  "Hey."  He said, poking the bleeder with a steel toed booth.  "Is there anyway you could get the others in your party over here, or there, or any other direction besides the ones that are currently being targeted by the chimera harvester's tentacles?"

The tentacles changed.  Spearing, the preferred method of gathering new data wasn't going to work.  This became obvious with the way the blonde one kicked aside one of the limbs.  Proceeding to phase two.  Several tentacles raised, and expanded becoming scoops which gathered up dozen of the pokemon husks, and enclosed them in a yellowish maroon gelatinous sphere.  Soldiers were needed.  There was a hiss, and several misshapen black figured emerged.  There were seven in total, each a mockery of their previous pokemon forms.  With an utter silence the creatures shot forward towards their prey.

"Why are they still over there?"  The man with the green eyes called.  He was several meters away, on his knees, with a pack on the ground, and strange equipment spread out.  "I told you to get them over here."

"What do you think I'm doing!?  Your old ears haven't given out on you, have they, because I was yelling loud enough to make it sixty feet with ease."  The blue eye man shook his head and made an obscene gesture with his hands to let the Green eyed man know to shut up and get to work.  Instead of wasting time with a reply the figure got back into work, combining parts into something that was starting to look like a cross between a satellite dish, a robotic crab, and a car bumper.  

"We're going to fight?"  Said Jynmi, certain he misheard things.  "Really?  But why not run?"  He pointed at the men on the far end, where the pokemon were rushing too.  "I mean it might not be safe there, seeing as the pokemon aren't stopping there, but at least the general direction seems better, don't you think?"  Jynmi opened his mouth to complain more, but something big came at him.  He didn't get a chance to recognize anything but for the complete blackness of its body, which along with the speed of the creature's impact, made picking out details impossible, before An invisible wall flared up out of nowhere, and the creature smashed into it, and the barrier, erecting at an odd angle, sending it up and over them in a high arc.  

As Jynmi watched the mass of shadow sail over him, another of the mutations shot out from beneath the ground, intending on grabbing the man with the lightning book.  While something a hideously shadowed mass sprung out of the trees by the blue girl, and hundreds of black vines moved in on her like homing missiles, intent on wrapping her up.
