"tch"

The sound of vibration pounding against the barrier echoed out, creating a rustle in the treeline around Felix. He was, unlike his pokemon, stowed away in the shrubbery, using his tactical gear to blend in with his surroundings.

If he were to come out, the situation would have to be better than it was now. There's no wiggle room against MATIAS SILPH , nor space for mistake.

Dusclops, who fell back after missing his BIND, glowered out towards the Mime. Flicking his fingers back and forth, the ghostly spectre used DISABLE on the Mime's PROTECT, hoping to render his protective barrier useless in the future.

Flygon, on the other, kept to the sky, flapping his wings together rapidly to kick up dust and create a SANDSTORM. At this que, Felix lifted up his KAKASHI mask and goggles, prepared to move out in a moment's notice.

- Dusclops used DISABLE on PROTECT

- Flygon uses SANDSTORM

MATIAS SILPH

This guy.

Felix's eyes narrowed at the still visible silluote of his aquatic serpent. It was coiled protectively around Matias, creating another barrier he'd need to shatter in order to pierce through.

Annoying.

Though, this gave a bit insight on Matias' defensive style, and for that, he was at least somewhat thankful.

Dusclops, who was at the center of the chaos, had used SHADOW SNEAK to flee from the wraith of Gyarados' HURRICANE. So, now, he merely hovered near the sidelines, his fist already frosty with ICE PUNCH prepared to strike whenever necessary.

Felix bit his lip. On one hand, revealing even a lick of information about his whereabouts could spell out serious trouble for the ANVIL general, but on the other hand, this silent game wasn't offering him much benefit either.

Besides, provocation was always another tool worth trying out.

"LOOK WHOSE THE COWARD NOW," He barked out, his eyes stealing a glimpse of Gallade, who was kept stationed nearby. One false move, and they'd be ready to TELEPORT to a new location.

After giving the man a chance to reply, he'd first plug up his ears with a set of earbuds, then he'd snap his fingers three times over, instructing his Flygon to go through with the next series of attacks. BOOMBURST. Again, the dragon-type began to flutter his wings, this time growing faster and faster at a higher interval than before, creating an almost ear-splitting sound, loud enough to shatter glass.

The dust from SANDSTORM intensified from this sudden wave of vibration, sound, and wind, beckoning the question: what would Captain Hoenn do?

- dusclops uses SHADOW SNEAK to escape

- wrapping up ICE PUNCH for next post

- FLYGON uses BOOM BURST

-gallade on standby

MATIAS SILPH

The tendrils of energy were enough to force out an escape outta him. Latching onto Gallade, the duo TELEPORTS to the other side of the field.

Despite their best efforts to conceal their movement, they could only do so much to suppress the rustle of shrubbery from where they landed.

The returning boomburst sent Flygon spiraling away. He'd come back, of course, but it would take more than a second for his return.

Dusclops, seeing the multiple layers of protection, opted to retreat back into the shadows as well.

Where the fuck are these protects coming from, he thought to himself, frustrated. With the click of his tongue, he found his next plan similar to dusclops: retreat to cover. Turning, he gestured for Gallade to follow out towards the woods.

Dragapult shouldn't be stationed too far out, with a phantom force prepared for their arrival.

"COME OUT, COME OUT, YOU LITTLE BITCH."

Yeah, no thanks.

time to play chase!
