She made to move, and he didn't dare stop her now. A calm ferocity had overtaken Elisabeth Fiorelli; it showed in her stiff gait, her clenched fists, her enraged stare.

"By all means." Barnaby encouraged, watching as she prepared for battle. This was the Elisa he was familiar with. A woman who could think quickly, strategically, confidently even in the face of danger.

But what of the terrified woman he'd seen just moments before... ? Who was she? Or rather, from what pitiful abyss had she sprung?

Barnaby shook the thought away, resolving to touch on the topic another time. For now, he needed to focus on supporting his ROCKET counterpart. As she sent her TOXAPEX into the heart of battle - for which the EMBOAR roared it's outrage - he stood by her side and gave orders to his own Pokémon.

"Sylvie, come. Set up a barrier around us." The Fairy queen obliged with supreme grace, casting Protect around the two humans.

"Evangeline, disable the pig with Thunder Wave." As instructed, the STARMIE remained on the periphery of the battle, providing support with a crackle of incapacitating electricity.

It was an skirmish fought with an inevitable outcome. The EMBOAR was faced with the brunt of four other combatants, the VESPIQUEEN included. Minutes of fighting passed and the interloper quickly began looking worse for the wear.

Soon, the boar fell to it's knees, heaving deeply and groaning in pain. It was obviously in grave condition. One more strike would cast the killing blow.

[attr="class","bgtk-post"]Bee left her the finishing blow, and Elisabeth obliged, stepping forward as she knelt to face the pitifully rendered beast.[break][break]

Elisabeth was many things. A swift killer was not one of them.[break][break]

A sick satisfaction coursed through her at the sight of the helpless boar, its eyes imploring her for mercy. And for a moment, it appeared that such kindness might spring forth from the slight woman as she returned her Roselia to the field of battle. "AROMATHERAPY," she repeated again, though this time, its healing action was not focused upon her.[break][break]

Rather, its soothing fragrance was directed to the Emboar paralyzed upon the ground.[break][break]

Both her companion and the Fire-type had only moments to react to this strange twist of fortune as Elisabeth's voice continued calmly: "TOXIC." [break][break]

A hideous purple sludge spat forth from the Roselia's beautiful petals, coating the Emboar entirely in the toxic substance. The swine shuddered, any previous strength gained from the AROMATHERAPY now sapped with this cruel crawl towards its own inevitable end.[break][break]

The Emboar howled in the throes of death, reaching for Elisabeth with claws that ultimately met the BANEFUL BUNKER of her Toxapex, sending it falling backwards prone upon the ground.[break][break]

The Vespiquen hovered close beside Elisabeth, watching with a fascination that was ultimately met with mirrored action. VENOSHOCK radiated from the queenly Bug-type Pokemon, drenching the Emboar anew; Cirsium mimicked the bee with a VENOSHOCK of her own, its power strengthened by her own MERCILESS nature.[break][break]

A relentless barrage of poisonous attacks struck the Emboar, again and again in a synchronized duet of monstrosity, long past the swine's fatal expiration.[break][break]

Eventually, nothing but a ruined carcass soaked in venom remained of the nightmare that had haunted the Petalburg Woods.[break][break]

For a long time Elisabeth numbly sat there staring at the corpse, as if expecting it to impossibly move. This had not been a killing, but a slaughter. Whatever crimes this Emboar had committed here had not warranted such a brutal end.[break][break]

It didn't matter.[break][break]

Elisabeth needed to know that this monster, at least, wouldn't return to haunt her from the grave.[break][break]

Her legs shook as she returned to her feet, facing the scrutiny of Bee's cobalt eyes. Both of them were a far cry from the people who had met at her cottage a mere hour ago. A fleeting urge to apologize, to thank him, was suppressed as she returned her Pokemon to their Pokeballs. "It is done," she said instead. Her breathing was ragged; her voice flat, devoid of intonation or melody.[break][break]

"We should go back."

It was the smell of burning flesh that hit him first. Then, the agonized screams of a slowly dying creature. This was not an easy sight to witness, nor a comforting one. But, perhaps, what was the most concerning about this entire affair was the stoic calm with which Elisabeth Fiorelli gave her torturous orders.

She took charge, as Barnaby knew she would. But he hadn't expected the cold, unbridled fury. The unnecessary cruelty. It seemed disproportionate to the situation at hand.

There was something more going on here, that much was clear, given the sizzling boar moaning it's last breath at Elisabeth's feet. Some dark, unspoken thing broiling beneath the surface.

But now was not the time to pry. He tucked the realization in the back of his mind, saving it for a more opportune moment.

As Elisa stared at the slaughter that she had wrought upon the EMBOAR, Barnaby withdrew the two Pokémon he currently had out and released another. He knelt before the small RALTS, extending his bloodied forearms for the Pokémon to mend with it's Heal Pulse. It's palliative powers were limited, but it was enough to stop the bleeding for now.

"Thank you, little one." He said softly, patting it's head in appreciation.

A hollow voice drew his eyes upward. There, Elisabeth waited, ready to move on from this place. Barnaby agreed with a nod, resigning himself to silence in the wake of such emotional gravity.

With a tired sigh, he righted himself before returning to walk by her side. Briefly, he looked over his shoulder as they left the meadow, taking one last moment to view the boar's crumpled silhouette.

It's carcass would return to the wood, in time. But what of these dark feelings that had been revealed?

Something had been unleashed and, passively, Barnaby thought that there was no returning to the Elisa of before.

What else was she hiding in her abyss?
