[@MankeyMankey]
Making his way through the dungeon in a hurried fashion, the fleet-footed Delphox wasn't paying nearly as much attention as he likely should have been. [color=ec5334][i]This is not good. Moreta has left, and the others in Quicksand Caves are significantly more hostile than they should be.[/i][/color]

Worry furrowed the Delphox's brow as he rushed along, clutching what appeared to be an artifact in his paws. A strange flute with a sun emblem, specifically. [color=ec5334][i]Quicksand Cave's relic... Why would I have had a vision about it? Everything is unclear...[/i][/color]

It did not take the Fire-type very long to reach what appeared to be a bottleneck in the dungeon. In the room, a large Carracosta was beginning to stur. [color=ec5334][i]I hope whatever is agitating the residents of Quicksand Caves isn't causing issues here, either. If only I had a way to contact Moreta... I'm sure she would have an answer for me.[/i][/color]

As he passed by the Prototurtle Pokémon, it chomped down on the seed it had prepared before it. Not wanting to come off as a threat, the Delphox gave it no notice. Normally, it might have worked. However. 

Taking a bite of the Blast Seed, the Carracosta reeled, tears welling in its eyes. A few moments later, a heavy stream of fire erupted from its maw, aimed straight at the wandering Delphox. 

Being struck by the pseudo-Flamethrower, the Delphox recoiled in confusion. Stuffing the flute in his sleeve, he withdrew a stick from the other, pointing it menacingly at the ancient Pokémon. [color=ec5334]"I have not come here to—"[/color]

[b][CARRACOSTA used HYDRO PUMP!][/b]

A torrent of water burst forth from the agitated Water-type's maw, catching the Delphox off-guard, sending him flying into the nearby wall. 

[color=ec5334][i]You leave me no choice.[/i][/color]

[b][ALODI used GRASS KNOT!][/b] Holding up his wand, the Delphox made a few flicking motions with his wrist, when a blade of grass snaked its way from the ground beneath the Carracosta, wrapping around his foot. Taking a step forward after feeling something connect, the Pokémon then proceeded to face plant on the ground. 

[color=ec5334]"And now, for my finishing touch~"[/color]

Waving his wand once more, a psychic-energy was emitted from it. [color=ec5334][b][ALODI used HYPNOSIS!][/b][/color]

The hypnotic energy was sufficient enough to drowse the Carracosta. Alodi hoped it would be enough to make his escape.
