Through the use of Foresight, Venonat could track down which of the illusionary copies was the real one, and she directed the sound-wave in his direction, causing a sensory overload and Sno became Confused.

[color=b5e6e2]‘Alright! Now, Tackle your confused opponent!’[/color] Vivia directed, pointing forward at Sno.

[color=938fbf]‘Ven!’[/color] The Venonat replied, and took off running forward at Sno’s struggling form, when…

She succeeded. Despite the confusion, Sno successfully managed to unleash a spray of Powder Snow, directed at her opponent. Vivia’s eyes twitched a little at the frustration, but the battle continued. Sno was still confused.

[color=938fbf]‘V-Ven!’[/color] The Venonat sounded out, having taken her second hit of the match and it was building damage, but yet the Pokémon charged forward through the cold to deliver a tackle of its own, and Venonat would likely reach just as Sno could make her next reaction.

[color=faed96]'Piiich!'[/color] Pichu noticed the lack of flames, not to mention likely heard Amelia’s voice giving a different command, and gave Thundershock a try. The little Pokémon charged his electricity and let the sparks fly over the slowly fading smog, striking in the vicinity of Litwick.

Due to that Litwick had not moved yet, he was still struck by parts of the lightning, despite being smaller. However, it didn’t do more damage than it would have usually, and he was yet still good to go, and the coming attacks would have more trouble hitting the smaller body of Litwick.

[color=668570]‘Keep it up, buddy! Dodge fire, shoot lightning! No fire? Shoot!’[/color] Joshua smiled brightly as he gave Pichu the commands, looking like he was genuinely enjoying the match, and Pichu looked much the same, the little yellow mouse smiling with determination as he took off, running in a circle to become a harder target for Litwick.

Ledyba was… apparently not paying attention. After having been hit by the cry of Ralia, lowering his attack, he spun around to face the three again and charged. After having briefly glanced over them, he took speed again and charged one of them.

[color=f2845c]‘LED!’[/color] … Though, regardless if he had been just unlucky or made an incorrect assumption, the bug charged the wrong illusion, which then resulted in him being hit by a Confusion, sending him briefly spinning off to one side before turning to face the copies again.

[color=f2845c]‘Ledyba...!’[/color] Still in the game, though somewhat damaged, Ledyba tried to aim himself so that he would Tackle through multiple copies at once, though as this likely grew difficult if Ralia moved as well, he’d at least try to adjust to get two…!

As soon as he applied the Super Repel on himself, the Volbeats all around scattered in all directions. That smell did not agree with them at all. It was like a minor explosion had taken place at the heart of that shining tornado, and the Volbeats spread out and fled out, back into the rest of the woods. This included the Volbeats which Nincada had been fighting, as the smell was just too unappealing. Honestly, Nincada and Atlas would smell it too, but be somehow less affected by it by virtue of being trainer-Pokémon.

Now, as Atlas spun around and headed back, a distinct lack of Volbeats anywhere near Martin after that, Martin would be able to clearly see the scene before him, Dawkin currently facing the Illumise…

[@Eklispe]

The Illumise briefly tilted her head curiously a little as Dawkin gestured, though that quickly turned out to be a trick. The ball sailed towards its target… but unfortunately, it seemed like the opponent was a little too experienced for that. The bug quickly side-stepped, in a movement that looked a lot like a Quick-Attack, but used for the purpose of dodging. No problem with the Pokéball, it just hit a tree and fell harmlessly to the forest floor, it could be picked up again, assuming Dawkin remembered it. The Illumise smirked playfully at Dawkin, looking mildly amused at his action. She heard Atlas coming, but… she was flying higher than Dawkin’s height. She could dodge.

Illumise kept her distance, and with considerable speed dodged Atlas’ Mud-Slap. Every move looked calculated, previous battle-experience obvious and she kept her eyes focused on Dawkin rather than Atlas as she dodged, her look mischievous.

[color=ffff8f]‘Illumise~’[/color] She sounded out happily, as she took off towards him, a slight pink gas shaping along her movement. It appeared she intended on using Sweet Scent again. Given how high in the air she was, there was little Atlas could do with a physical move-set to stop her. Chances to take her down before she attracted a new storm of Volbeats looked fairly grim, when-

A stream of fire suddenly flew through the air, in-between the Illumise and Dawkin. The Illumise stopped short, her eyes widening and staring at the flames. They were pretty intense, clearly a high-level move, a stream of fire causing heat more than warming up the surrounding individuals and likely fairly difficult to look at, it being so bright. Martin, who had been able to oversee the situation, likely saw it approach.

[color=c5b9c7]‘Not this time, “Queen”. Play it nice.’[/color] A commanding voice of an older woman sounded out from further away, someone approaching.

The lady, she who had stood in the distance, now stood considerably closer. She had a white and gold-colored dress of sorts, her black long hair tied up in a shape yet still hanging far. Her expression was calm and serene, her legs long and body fairly tall. In front of her and at her side stood what was unmistakably a fox on two legs, her limbs red with fur hanging alike a robe and torso as well as head and snout in yellow, long yellow tail behind her and her hand holding forth a stick with a flaming end, clearly just having been used to fire the previous stream. The fox’s expression was confident, yet calm.

[color=ffff8f]‘… Illum…’[/color] Didn’t look like Illumise was too fond of that command, but nonetheless, didn’t look like she was intending on defying that one. Unless otherwise addressed, or attacked, she’d turn around and start flying off into the distance.

[color=c5b9c7]‘She has become more unruly lately. Been making Outer Infested Woods less safe…’[/color] The woman muttered, before smiling at Dawkin. [color=c5b9c7]‘Thank you for your help. I was having trouble thinking of any way to solve the situation that wouldn’t have resulted into hundreds of torched Volbeats, a solution which would have been highly regrettable, not to mention possibly dangerous for the young man over there.’[/color] Referring to Martin. Delphox stashed her wand into her… sleeve of fur…? [color=e3875f]‘Phox!’[/color] … Before “hmpf”-ing by herself, looking at the two present young men.
