Aro was truly impressed by both Maya and Khelfins start, both using Scary face and Conversion were genius moves for different reasons. It woke Aro up to the fact that although they were both new, both Maya and Khelfin new a thing or two. However although they’re effective start the Grimer carried on relentlessly, eventually starting to overpower Red. It wasn’t the sort of time to realise that what he had initially thought were advantages were gone. 

Aro desperately tried to think of a plan as the Grimer started to outnumber the group. The Grimer has got wiser and split up between the three Pokemon. Red who was fighting valiantly was slowly being engulfed in a mixture of purple and black sludge as the Grimer slowly surrounded him. Aro had to do something, he ran at the Grimer and leaped in grabbing hold of Red. As he wrestled he felt the sludge start to cover his legs slowly working it’s way up. 

In a last ditch effort Aro had only objective; to get Red safe. He managed to wiggle enough room for Red to squeeze from the Mass and although free, he fell to the ground exhausted from the pain. Aros eyes were locked to Red painstakingly as the Grimers poisonous touch flowed onto his skin.

 *SHLINKKKKK*  

Suddenly a metallic sound echoed through the area. Aro could barely feel anything at this point but he could tell that the Grimer had started to let go of his almost lifeless body. Gasping for air and confused he crawled towards Red and curled around him, protecting him. As Aro started to fade out of consciousness he looked up to see what seemed be the sword - from the previous dig site - levitating above them. 

[i]It looks like... is that an eye?! What the...?[/i]

The poison had definitely sunk in at this point, Aros face started to go pale and his limbs were almost flaccid. He slowly lost consciousness as he gasped for air. In an attempt to save himself he used his finger to write one word in the dirt, before passing out from the pain.
