Tristan couldn't go. Not yet.

Pokeballs appeared in the air and the remainder of his team was released. He wasn't about to leave Forrest here all by himself, after all. At the speed of thought, commands were given, allowing only a moment for each of them to perform their duty.

Oracle rarely showed her true skills and capabilities in battle. While she was far from Tristan's strongest battler, she was not to be taken lightly. Even by an impossibly powerful giant Altaria. Her rather typical size allowed her to Detect the trajectory of each of the Meteors and glide around them as she moved away from Antligon's Boomburst. She was already Wishing for Flygon to recover, the eyes on her chest glowing a dull yellow, even before he was hit by the Rainbow Rush. Still Syressa's Heal Pulse would reach Antligon first. Oracle's mind reached Syressa to reassure her, "I've got him... focus on Altaria." Her assuredness was comforting despite whatever doubt Syressa might have had.

In a graceful divebomb, Oracle met up with the unconscious Antligon to be nearby and slow his descent with her own Psychic if he didn't manage to wake up in time. However, she knew he would. Her attention then shifted to focus on the giant foe hurdling around. Oracle froze in the air, floating motionless while her eyes glowed a deep yellow and, from out of nowhere, the winds shifted. And they would keep shifting to blow from behind Syressa and into the Altaria. However, Oracle was rather compromised in this position and would rely on her colleagues to ensure her safety.

Veritas, from the Tauros' opposite flank in relation to Vertigo, unleashed a desperate Aura Sphere. Her hands collected Aura from herself, even as she drew it in from all around. Then the orb was sent forward, winding and weaving through the forest to meet its mark. She knew it wasn't going to stop the thing, but their task was just to do as much damage as possible while it thundered forward. 

From the other side, Veritgo's fiery Hidden Power rushed in pulses at the Tauros as he flew, hovering just over the ground and barely keeping up. His spoons glowed white hot as the concentrated energy released towards his mark. Veritas had no hope of keeping up and just kept releasing small Aura Spheres, one from each hand, over and over. Each one found its mark, weaving through the trees and branches to do so.

While Aequitas would have preferred a head-on assault, he was strictly ordered not to, and instead started a flurry of Mach Blades, each faster than the next as he increased his Agility bit by bit with each slash of his blades. He'd jump and float over the Tauros, slashing in an X over its back. His feet moved ever faster, and within only a couple of Mach Blades was he easily keeping up with the Giga Impact.

Arine was allowed the forward position, unleashing an unrelenting stream of Water Pulses into the Tauros. Her gem glowed as water streamed from the tip of each arm while she spun into a blur, her gem a nearly perfect circle. Tristan, and by extension Arine, hoped that if all of this didn't fell the Tauros, that after it would be sufficiently confused. They figured it couldn't block its hearing and inner-ears. She would Rapid Spin and lift herself with Telekinesis should the monster not stop before reaching her.

And Zen, from underneath the creature, would compel the Earth's Power to erupt in perhaps an attempt to trip it up, throw it off course, or stop the attack altogether. It's eyes glowed while each leg impacted the ground as pistons into the ground, the power of which erupted just before the charging Tauros.

They were all lucky to have worked together for so long (and, you know, the whole psychic thing), ensuring each of their attacks didn't hurt Aequitas as he rushed back and forth over the beast.

Pandora would be last. Once the Tauros stopped, she would a Lovely Sweet Kiss on it, and also do her best to Attract it to her. And, oh boy, was she ready!

Only once commands were given did Tristan's hand brush against Ether and two would disappear from sight. They would appear in Tristan's office in the Ranger Headquarters. His head whipped around to ensure no one was around. Lights were on, but no one seemed to be nearby or passing the door. [i]"Good..."[/i]

Ether ensured the door was locked while Tristan rushed and fumbled the documents into the safe behind his desk. He cursed at himself through the whole thing, his thumb too sweaty for two attempted readings. Papers and folders would fall out of his bag and onto the floor, so he'd have to pick them up. Everything was a mess and he hoped they'd be able to make sense of it all afterwards.

Once he was done, which took entirely too long he thought, the pair would teleport back, this time a safe distance from the engagement area they hoped. His heart seemed to stop beating as his eyes took in what happened in all of probably 20 seconds.
