Thomas frowned in disappointment as the first Pokemon to wander down the corridor was an Impidimp. At first, the mischievous Fairy didn't seem like a very good target to practice anything on.

How wrong he was.

"Have your Pangoro attack it with a Dark move.", the familiar 'voice' of Yveltal resonated through his head.

Normally, Thomas would've called such a move monumentally stupid. He knew for a fact that Impidimp was a Dark and Fairy Pokemon, thus making it especially resistant to Dark-type moves. And there was no telling if it packed a Fairy-type move, one that would do some nasty damage to a Pangoro. Despite this, the voice compelled him to act against his better judgment.

"Brutus, Throat Chop.", he ordered.

The Pangoro looked at him like he lost his mind.

"Trust me.", Thomas told the bear.

With a sigh, the Pangoro rushed the Impidimp. In turn, the Fairy-type saw the bear charging him, and attempted to deliver a Sucker Punch to the creature. Given his own typing, the attack that landed barely phased him. The Throat Chop, much to everyone's surprise, caused the Impidimp to double over, and lose consciousness. Normally, the attack wouldn't do so much damage against something like an Impidimp, or its evolutionary line, but somehow, the Pangoro's strike was far more effective.

"Unfettered Darkness. Dark Moves used by those of the Dark bypass the victim's resistance to them.", the voice rang through Thomas' head.

"Impressive.", the Elite Four member remarked, a grin manifesting over his face.

The next Pokemon to take the bait was a Cottonee. Thomas frowned as he saw the creature. This time, he felt bad about attacking this one to learn what powers he had.

Yveltal knew no such mercy, however.

"Send out your Scizor.", the voice commanded.

Thomas would send out Ripper, the Scizor. Thomas pointed towards the Cottonee. With a sigh, the Scizor marched over to the cotton ball. In a panic, the Cottonee channeled its Nature Power, manifesting into a Shadow Ball that staggered the Scizor back. The armored insect reacted with annoyance and anger.

"Focus on the Scizor. Bring out its Darkness.", the voice called out to the trainer.

Thomas did as he was told, focusing on the Scizor. Thomas strained for a moment, before something finally washed over the Scizor. The Scizor glared up at the Cottonee, continuing his march towards the cotton ball. Once again, the Cottonee channeled Nature Power, lobbing another Shadow Ball at the insect. This time, the Scizor was able to more easily shrug off the blast.

"Brutal Swing!", Thomas called out.

The Scizor closed the distance between himself and the Cottonee. He would swing his pincer down towards the Cottonee. An attack already enhanced by Technician, he'd find his Brutal Swing was more 'natural' in this state, that he had an affinity with the attack.

And given Yveltal's other benefit to his master, he'd find the attack bypassed the Cottonee's resistance to the dark.

"You have the power to awaken the Darkness in your Pokemon, if temporarily.", the voice of Yveltal resonated through Thomas' head.

"Hope it gets easier with practice.", Thomas remarked, referring to the strain in 'awakening' Ripper's darkness.

From the shadows, a Glameow would watch the others come in, only to be taken out by the Pangoro, or the Scizor. The Pokemon in question looked to be rather strong. But then, the Pokemon that came into the tunnel, taking the bait, were obviously outmatched from the start.

This was enough to motivate the Glameow to quietly slink back to the outside world. She didn't want any part of that mess.
