Everything was going in so many directions at once—

The mega-evolved Gardevoir was staring down the Bisharp in the face, unafraid of retaliation despite being at a type-disadvantage. Lynette was fucking pissed and she wanted to scrap some more! How dare—how dare this Bisharp do such a thing!

And in plain sight of her as well!

Lars had gotten lost in the mess, frantically searching for where the Gallade had fallen and had very nearly missed the memo of the cave suddenly shaking—he’d looked up in time to see the falling debris from the ceiling and his mind went—well, shit, his mind blacked out.

It was like a repeat of what had happened previously all over again; only this time instead of being limited to very few Pokémon he saw a bunch of rocks that were about to fall on him suddenly—float?

Wait, what—

“Ro!” he shouted, before the Metagross shunted the falling debris off to one side. “What did I tell you, keep them within your—” he frantically added, before realizing that the targets they were looking for had—

Fucking escaped.

This is why I handle Pokémon-related disasters better than normal people disasters! He screamed in the back of his head, before resisting the urge to smack a palm against his face and groan.

Where was—

The Metagross had spotted the Gallade faster than him; splitting his attention Ro then used another Telekinesis to levitate the Gallade where he’d fallen before Lars caught the Pokémon.

“Shit,” was all he had time to grumble before bringing the Gallade back to where his Gardevoir still shimmered with the energy she’d reacted to.

He braced himself for another scream in the recesses of his mind, however none came. Approaching quietly, the Gardevoir then released a wave of Heal Pulse on the passed-out Gallade, not knowing the extent of the injuries the other had sustained.

“See? He’s—Lyn, you can calm down now,” he said, barely letting out a sigh of relief.

Although this caused him to wonder, though—what had caused his Gardevoir to take another form? He was pretty sure he didn’t have the stone like how his Metagross and Lucario did; but either way, he was thankful.

He tried to look around for a plausible explanation, like some kind of Misty Surge effect or something similar, anything that resembled a terrain, however he was at a loss.

Damn it all.

Recalling the Metagross with his free hand, the Gardevoir then reached out to where he stood, and warped them out of the cave.

What a mess.
