The poor Octavio was scorching alive binding the Moltres together, his skin becoming well cooked and likely tasting good with some spices and tenderized meat. Eating Pokemon aside, Sylvia wasn't going to just just and watch the other people take her spotlight! Although the other two were taking care of things by themselves. Xenon's Iron Juglius went forth and chewed, bit and literally carved their way into the Moltres as it was doing its best to tera out its throat, but not before literally using Hyper Beam to blow the legendary away. The legendary bird would squawk in pain, as the bird was still holding onto some semblance of life. Octavio, although missing some Tentacles, would still be holding strong, as Sylvia went to called out to him. "Keep holding on, Octavio! Flex those muscles!" The Grapploct would puff himself up, growing in size and strength as the Moltres did get a wing free, although was still pinned against the ground. It was starting to droop down again, but with all this lava everywhere, who was to say that it could just take a dunk and then proceed to resurrect itself again?

Fortunately, Shredder was present and ready to rock and roll! His Toxtricity and Slither Wing both work together in order to deal with all that pesky old lava. The poor Slither Wing did have some kind of energy in it, buffeted tenfold as it would cast Earthquake around itself. the ground shook violently, with Onna flopping around before steadying itself against its nude trainer, as the heat inside of the volcano would disappear as the substance flowed out of the cavern. The heat inside subsided with a slowly cooling air as the Moltres would be robbed of its power source. Sylvia smiled at the wounded Onna, pointing at the weakened bird.

"Alright, Onna! Let's finish this! Time for one last bite!" Onna cheered, hurrying back to the Moltres just as it erupted from Octavio's grasp, the Grapploct completely fried. It turned its head just in time to see the Mawhile biting down on its neck, teeth digging into an orange plume as the bird weakly flailed to unlatch the dark type from its throat. Yet no matter how hard it would flap its wings or soar up into the air, Onna wouldn't budge. The Moltres would take off into the air, speeding until they were a blip into the air as all was still. Yet only thirty seconds later, a shape would be careening towards the arena. As it grew closer, the legendary bird crashed into the earth, wiping out half of the arena with it as the earth was crushed beneath the weight of the legendary. As the earth and rocks stilled, Moltres laid motionless, the flames on the quills slowly dying out as the trio were left victorious.

"WE DID IT!" Sylvia said, all the adrenaline pouring out of her. She jumped in celebration, racing around as she hugged Xenon tight, her chest smothering the smaller woman as she twirled her around, a hand playfully pinching her rear in return. "You were amazing, XenXen~ And your Pokémon were pretty hype too!" Just as fast as she was doting upon the lavender haired woman, she pranced over to Shredder, doing the same as she'd grin widely, flicking his nose. "And you too, Shredder! Sorry about your Pokémon, though! When we're done, I'm gunna snuggle your Slither Wing super hard~" Once the Moltres was defeated, the party was then taken out of simulation, with Sylvia back and fully clothed. They'd be escorted out of the room as the leaders would evaluate their performance.
