[Anthony] The arcanine ended up pinned to the wall by Kamina, and the graveler stopped its attack when Josh started using hydro pump on it, but before it could try a different attack, the water surrounding the graveler just froze, making it impossible for the rock-type to move, let alone attack. [i]That shouldn't have happened... the water's moving really fast, right? It shouldn't be that easy to freeze...[/i] I thought as I looked at the battlefield. Things were certainly in our favor, their team had a missing goodra, a frozen graveler, and a pinned arcanine, while we haven't even been touched, yet. The arcanine, being the only one who can even remotely think about attacking, decided to try to bite Kamina, asking "Hey, Kyle... why do you taste like fish? Aw, I don't care, I LOVE fish! ALL THE MORE REASON TO EAT YOU!" He then laughed, and continued biting the gyrados who he saw as... one of his old friends, I'm assuming. I then made my way over to the arcanine, but I ended up slipping, and worse, I noticed the place grow colder for some reason... even through that, I managed to use muddy water on the arcanine, hitting a weakness, and hopefully freezing him... I couldn't tell, though, because I was too concerned with myself, given the temperature change. [hr] [Spruce] The place lit up for a bit, revealing that at least one of our attackers was a hydreigon. That revelation made Celes smile really wide before unleashing moonblast in that dragon's general direction. At first, I was uncertain that it hit, but then I heard something whining and something flying away from us, so, perhaps that was why. Shortly after that, Rebecca asked if I could create some twigs or vines to provide some light, and I responded with "Happily, Rebecca," and did just that, creating vines using my vine whip move, but never actually using them to attack. After that, I took an attack from the shadows that I just couldn't quite place, and Nina seemed to use that flash tackle move, again, revealing an umbreon for just a brief moment, but missing said umbreon... somehow. [i]How did she miss? She's the only one who can see our enemies, right?[/i] I thought as I backed away from the edge of the shadows, not wanting to take any more hits from unknown enemies. The candle kept burning, and continued providing our only light in this odd place... it almost looked like somewhere where pokemon would work, but who could, or would work in these conditions? I looked over to the strange bronzor who never gave me his name, and noticed that he was using iron defense for some reason... maybe he didn't have too many attacking options at the moment, given his typing, it wouldn't surprise me. [hr] [Bonnie] Tini seemed more than ready to hug me, and then he seemed to turn his attention towards Eralion just as he took the high jump kick in the face, and basically threw the offending pokemon into a wall with a counter attack. My jaw almost hit the floor with that, and I managed to say "W-wow... that was... I mean, I know counter can be powerful, but THAT powerful?" once Tini finally got off of me, I led the team further onward, to a part of the cave that seemed to lead outside. Apparently, we were higher up than I thought we were, since I could see quite a ways ahead from the ledge. I decided not to stay there for very long, and instead of getting some light and fresh air, I headed right back into the darkness of the cave... only for it to somehow close tight RIGHT behind me, cutting me off from the rest of my own team. I panicked, without them around, I was useless, and hopeless against whatever the dungeon decided to throw my way next, and to make things worse, I heard some sort of earthquake from outside. [i]No... th-they can't be... they didn't fall off, right? RIGHT!?[/i] I thought as I tried my best to move the door, just so I could see, but... it was hopeless. I couldn't move it, and I couldn't break it, not even with a well-aimed jump kick. It took me a while before I actually got back up, and kept heading forward... hoping that I might see my friends, again if I do so. [hr] [Nina] "Er... right, sorry about that, Dex," I quickly said in response to Dexter pointing out that he has a brain, too. I then overheard Rebecca asking if Spruce could do something about the lighting in the area... and heard something whine as it flew away from the battlefield. I didn't catch what made it do that, but clearly they were afraid of someone on our team. [i]Good, one less enemy to deal with.[/i] I thought as I noticed something reach out from the shadows and attack Spruce. "Oh, no you don't," I muttered as I used another flash tackle, rushing right through the shadows, and aiming right for an umbreon... though... I ended up hitting some sort of shield, instead, unfortunately. The shield knocked me back into the light, and I grumbled as I got back to my feet. "Stupid... protect... hate that move..." I commented through the grumbling. I then noticed a couple sets of eyes get closer to the light, probably just so they could keep attacking us, and I noticed Spruce fall back, a bit in response to that. [i]What to do, what to do...?[/i] I thought as I looked around for anything that might help us. Sure, the vines that somehow appeared might be nice, but I wasn't sure if there was anything in the room that we might use against our enemies. Spruce then looked up for some reason, and I realized that I had no idea where our client was, and looked up, as well, just to see him using iron defense just so he could... maybe... take an attack or two. [i]Must be hard being a psychic type in a place like this...[/i] I noted about that situation.
