kyle cradles an unconscious form of his charmander on his arms. while he was pretty sure it was lifeless moments before, there was little time to worry about the other things that didn't concern the main threat.

misty terrain surrounds the area around kyle. by his foot was his espurr that had set up defenses with both of its light screen and reflect. kyle takes on the defensive stance as always, with the psychic-type complementing it nicely with how it naturally approaches the situation.

"miracle eye."

a weird glow surrounds the espurr's eyes with kyle's command. it manages to stare directly at the abyss, attempting to see through the darkness with the aid of its move. once the threat is found amid the curtain it hides itself with, kyle orders his pokemon to join in with the other's barrage on it.

"psychic."

under the protection of its moves, it manages to fire off its move with bravado. a blast of psychic energy tears through the space between it and the creature from the portal, hitting it at full force with little care about feedback.

kyle clicks his tongue at the situation. he finds little confidence to where they are currently at, even with the presence of his silvally behind him, blasting the creature with tri-attack. it growls defensively against the presence of it, though kyle isn't sure if this is from its natural aggression for beasts from the other side of the portal, or just its protectiveness for its trainer.

regardless, kyle clutches his cosmoem in his palm. it reacts to the portal as it channels its cosmic power. since it has changed its form, kyle wasn't really certain on how to interact with its inactiveness, though he does know that it's conscious regardless. he had told it earlier to close the portal, but uncertainness with how these pokemon deal with those leaves him doubtful still.
