Despite the Purrloin escaping the vicious melee attack, Mordred still found satisfaction in hacking away at the mixed up fossil Pokemon. Despite this, the oncoming Water Pulse was still a threat to him, and in the aftermath of the assault, he didn't know if he could dodge it.

Thankfully, Thomas deployed his Hydreigon between the two of them, allowing Kalameet to take the Water Pulse for him. Though roaring in annoyance, the Hydreigon's years of training, on top of his natural resistance to such an attack, allowed him to survive it easily.

In retaliation, the Hydreigon fired off a pulse of draconian energy at the wounded Arctovish. Mordred, who had gathered himself, charged up as much solar energy as he could into his blade, before jumping over the Hydreigon, and lunging at the Arctovish with a brutal slash.

[attr="class","samjermain"]The flickering of Mordred’s flame reflected in the fossil’s half-blind eyes. Like a cat with a string, Bomi followed its whipping end with a surprising amount of intensity. Instinctual, he wanted nothing more than to quelch it. Fire was dangerous. That’s why they had alarms for it! This nasty thing had hurt him! As the water pulse erupted, the Dracovish opened its jaw to disturbing widths. “VIIIIIISH!” It gurgled.

But, judging by the effect the attack had on the dragon, he’d have been better off attacking Kalameet with a garden hose. At such short range, the beam of energy crashed into the unwieldy beast. “DRAAAA!” He staggered backward, his head jerking back to follow the line of that silly purple light—one of the only things he could still see. Another powerful burst erupted from his mouth.

In doing so, he lifted his throat at just the right angle. The grass blade hit the thinnest point between his skull in the tail. “Vi…..ish…?”A look of surprise appeared as a thin red line opened up across his throat. It exploded in a spray of ichor. The precipitation was punctuated by the heavy thump of his head. Water still flowed from the stump of his neck, turning the blood into a pinkish rain. Its eyes stared up at the ceiling as the dragon-type noticed the pretty lights for the first time. “Drac…vi…”


Perseus, while not overly fond of the newly born thing, moved in to take his place. He pounced down from the rock onto the nearest dragon head. “PURRRRRR!” Another series of powerful, glittery blows rained down on the dark type. While he did not care for the expendables, the feline felt some strange sense of camaraderie with it. That and this has-been had ruined his freshly washed coat.

“Tch.” Calpurnia sneered at the corpse fell. A truly wasted investment. “What a mess.” She wiped the spray from her mask with a sneer. Staring at the ball in her hands, the scientist shrugged. With a flick, she sent it spinning into the aether.

In its reflection, a hundred eyes of pink and red glimmered below. If a few drops of blood brought a mob, what would a viscera fountain do?

Mordred is proud of his handiwork, as he manages to sever the oversized head of the ancient beast. Thomas, on the other hand, is mortified at what he saw. Pokemon death, regardless of who was on the receiving end, was something that Thomas didn't handle too well. It wasn't until his Hydreigon got knocked out by the flurry of blows from the Purrloin that he was snapped out of it.

Thomas recalled the dark dragon, and was about to have Mordred finish the Purrloin, when he noticed the horde of Pokemon coming their way. No doubt they were attracted to all the blood pouring from the fallen Arctovish.

"Shit!", Thomas called out, before producing a Sticky Glob, and tossing it towards the biggest cluster he could immediately spot. Mordred would immediately grab Thomas, and whisk him off with Phantom Force, attempting to get him as far away from the pandemonium as he can.

As Thomas surfaced, he looked down at his arm, and noticed scales forming over his arms. His eyes went wide for a moment, as he groped and picked at it, before calming himself, remembering reports that such mutations occur over extended stays in the area, and that they'd go away upon returning back to Hoenn.
