[attr="class","skullbody"]Isaac didn't even wait for Seraphim to start monologuing. The second he saw
ana fell in such dire straits, he practically smashed his hands down onto his hips. Pokeballs cascaded around him, the crimson glow of their simultaneous release practically swallowing Isaac up. When it faded, there were five Pokemon surrounding him.[break][break]
Knuckles, his strongest fighter, second in command, and bonded Lucario partner.[break][break]
Luck & Pluck, the sacred Aegislash that had been assigned by his beloved to protect him above all else.[break][break]
Miyuki, the shining silver Fennekin with a spark of mischief in her eyes.[break][break]
Zephyrus, the stormbringer himself, the Dragonite's normally apologetic look giving way to firm-eyed fury.[break][break]
Kurze, a native of these circles, the Bisharp hissing balefully as he realized the familiarity of his locale.[break][break]
The fucked-up tin can declared Cygne to be a liability. It took all of Isaac's self control to not order his team to obliterate him where he stood. Even then, Knuckles could practically feel his fear and anger radiating off of him, it taking everything in her power to not already start charging up an Aura Sphere.[break][break]
After all, with the Gardevoir holding Cygne hostage, and Seraphim's hand noticeably hovering by the hilt of his blade, one wrong move could spell disaster.[break][break]
Yet it would be too late. Seraphim had his hand atop the hilt. With a single, sarcastic flourish, he would draw his . . . discarded teddy bear!?[break][break]
There had been six lights, but only five Pokemon. Rising from a pile of discarded warehouse junk came Sanford, Seraphim's blade now embedded in the Dhelmise's algal colonies. As unorthodox of a move as
Switcheroo was, it was a fantastic way of disarming opponents. The Dhelmise's typical ominous hovering was now a mirthful bob up and down, as if Sanford was laughing at their foe's expense.[break][break]
But to most of Team Isaac, this was no laughing matter. Miyuki launched herself towards Gardevoir, the fox's fangs bared and claws extended. However, before she could actually approach melee range, this threat display gave way to a coy smirk. In a puff of fire and smoke, she vanished, only for Kurze to come charging out of the inferno. Her
Ally Switch was the perfect setup for Kurze to close the distance with the Gardevoir, aiming to drive a vicious Metal Claw into her gut.[break][break]
The rest of Isaac's team remained by his side. Luck and Pluck adhered to his hands. Knuckles stood by his side, glaring hateful daggers. Zephyrus rose to the sky, generating stormclouds by the warehouse roof with heavy flaps of his wings. Perhaps in better times, this
Rain Dance would be the perfect backdrop for an all out war.[break][break]
"You wanna be convinced otherwise?" Isaac asked, a mix of fury and desperation bleeding into his voice. He couldn't lose her. Not like this. Not like Kiryu. Not after everything she had done for him. Not when it was his fault. Not when it was right at the cusp of him having something resembling normalcy.
"Let's see if there's anything left to convince by the time I'm done breaking you into scrap."[break][break]
tl;dr -[break][break]
Dhelmise uses Switcheroo from hiding to disarm Seraphim.[break]
Fennekin feigns an attack, but actually Ally Switches-[break]
-so Bisharp has next to no distance to close before using Metal Claw.[break]
Dragonite calls down a Rain Dance.[break]
Lucario and Aegislash are on standby, but are also fucking furious.
