[Anthony] I was reeling after those attacks, and I ended up answering Josh with a simple "Huh, wha?" and after that, Kamina broke up the group, and Josh hit the already somehow beat-up looking arcanine with a hydro pump, and M was putting on some sort of damaging light show that hit every enemy except for the graveler, who was immune to the attack. I was trying to get a hold on the situation, and then I heard the arcanine shout "BARRY! Why did you betray, Barry? Come back here, and let's rob the bank like old times!" no... it couldn't be HIM, could it? After that, the arcanine tried to use extremespeed on Josh, but I somehow managed to get in the way, and use counter to send that back at the arcanine... also sending him to the ice wall. The graveler started rolling away, and then it decided to just use that as an attack, and aimed its rollout attack right towards Kamina. I had no way of getting there in time, so I had to just hope he could take the hit. The goodra looked around the group, but it couldn't find who it was looking for, so it just ended up using Power Whip on Reshiram... bad idea. Reshiram sent the thing flying with a dragon pulse, after that... and I never saw that goodra, again. "Barry... have you ever met Mike? You should meet Mike, he's a cool guy, heheh... and he's an ICE type, too..." the arcanine just sort of randomly said to Josh, apparently thinking that he was this 'Barry' he was talking about... after that, he added "Oh, come on, Mike, my mom's not that fat," while talking... to the ice wall. Somehow, this arcanine was picking better moves and targets than the goodra, who just got sent flying... and THAT was a normal conversation for that arcanine. [hr] [Spruce] Everyone seemed to be amazed at how this place looked, and I couldn't blame them... if only these guys knew what the word 'lighting' meant. I then heard Dexter introduce himself, and I introduced myself "I'm Spruce Birch... yes, that famous explorer Vine Birch is my brother... sorry, I thought that would stop others from asking that question," unfortunately, I couldn't see too far ahead of me, save for a single, barely lit candle in the middle of the room. I tried to make something out of the darkness, and I saw two tiny red eyes staring back at me. Soon after that, I heard the unknown pokemon growl, and then the thing used dark pulse on me, dealing some damage. "Okay, we're not alone here, folks, let's try to find our enemies... anyone got a light?" I said to the rest of the group, which caused Nina to nudge Dexter. I couldn't wait too long, so I decided that my best bet was to use void whip at... whatever just hit me, but, since I couldn't see their body, they easily moved out of the way... and a couple more pairs of eyes appeared. "So... did I overhear something about one of you working here until recently? First off... how? Second off... WHY!?" I ended up saying. This place didn't look like it would make a good workplace, given that it's completely dark, and apparently the other employees were more than happy to just scare you and attack you without even asking who you are. [hr] [Nina] As soon as the trap door closed, the place went dark, and we headed through a short hallway to the first room, which seemed to have a very dimly lit candle on a metal table as its only light source. Spruce complained about the lighting conditions, him being a grass type, he was probably used to being out in the sun, by now, and as he searched the edge of our vision, a couple oddly small red eyes, obviously belonging to an at least somewhat powerful pokemon appeared. The pokemon quickly responded to Spruce's presence by blasting him with a dark move. Once I heard him ask "... anyone got a light?" I nudged Dexter, and whispered "That's your cue," to him. I then noticed a couple more pokemon seemingly appear from the nothingness, and Spruce tried to attack something he couldn't see to... obvious effect. I then remembered that [b]I[/b] had a means of lighting this place up, at least for a bit, and I used Flash Tackle on the pokemon that attacked Spruce, revealing it to be a Hydreigon, and lighting the place up, for a bit. I'm not sure what pokemon the others saw, but I only had time to see that pokemon... who took a decent amount of damage from my attack, and then tried to grab me with its weird head hands. Thankfully, I managed to get out of that situation, and I ran back to the light source... the other two pokemon apparently laughed at that, for... some reason. [hr] [Bonnie] The hawlucha was knocked out, and the stalactite was broken, leaving just the medicham, and a smooth ceiling. Eralion had the idea to get in front of the psychic type, and the medicham laughed as it used high jump kick on him. I then thought about what moves MIGHT work on this thing... and Dizzy Punch seemed like the obvious answer at this point. I tried to head towards the enemy pokemon, but it was kind of in the middle of a move, so I just tried my best to hit it while it was in the air... unfortunately, I missed, and the move kept heading towards Eralion, who looked like he braced himself for the attack... for some reason. [i]Why would he be smiling? That attack's going to HURT, a LOT, too... I mean, it's still super effective against him, right? Is he just hoping he'll miss?[/i] I thought as I just stood there, kind of useless at this point, since hitting a moving target obviously wasn't going to happen. I then remembered something, and said "You did a good job, Tini. That bad guy won't hurt anyone anymore," I praised, since it was true, he did do a good job at knocking out that hawlucha.
