Unexpected, having been launched by the explosion; that was what had come to mind, or perhaps it was the large branch that had blown him off his feet, or perhaps it was the fact he was lifted up not long after.

”Whaaa?” He mumbled out, though it was more of a slur; he struggled to collect his thoughts, voices were mere whispers due to the ringing in his ear; he couldn’t hear, and his heavy eyelids made it difficult to see as well, but he gritted his teeth, and bit down on his cheeks to see just what the amazing sight before them was; he held on tightly, as tightly as he could.
[break][break]
He’d come across all manner of trainers, those who wielded legendary powers, those who wielded legends, those who wielded feral beasts that were merely contained rather than caught. But this was different, teamwork perhaps in its purest form; a well oiled machine between the trainer and her pokemon, everyone of them knew what they needed to do. It was an impressive sight, one that was rocking him out of his own stupor. He could see and tell in that moment, that this Cygne was a strong trainer.

”Can’t…be shown up here.” It would end without his being able to do anything of use, these Unown would faint from this combination attack, he could see that as easy as day. ”Absol…You’re up.” He stated as he threw his pokeball, releasing his pokemon, the white fur glistened as rain fell upon it, as the wind caused it to shake, and as ice got caught up in it.
[break][break]
Yet, Kouji pushed it a step further, his flick knife that he held began to glow, and his Absol with it; energy coalesced, his fur grew longer, as if forming wings onto his back, his horn extended, and found company with another smaller on the other side, and then there was the fringe that fell lower.
[break][break]
”We’re going all in, use Night Slash.” He told his Absol, in that deadly spiral; it might have been suicide, but he believed in the blade of his oldest partner, and Absol dashed in without a hint of hesitation. Absolute dependance, it wasn’t trust, Kouji had never fostered such a thing, it was simply two creatures that relied upon another over everything else.
[break][break]
So Absol did, the horn on his head elongated, surrounded by dark energies as he leapt into the whirlpool of death and ice, a large slash that cut through it for only a fraction of a second; creating space that was immediately filled up, and frozen over as he found himself swept up in the blizzard, the rest of his energy spent after the earlier battle.
[break][break]
But, the intensity of that whirlpool was enough, the blizzard was overkill, and the Night Slash was entirely unnecessary. ”Adding rain ontop of that is just cruel.” Seeing as the rain had been there first, it might not have been accurate. But, their terrible trial was coming to an end, bits of data spiralled out of the whirlpool, jettisoned into the distance.
[break][break]
It was constant, almost like a snowfall itself as mismatched colours were shot into every direction, and rained down upon the landscape, the last of the unown, scattered into the air. Rather than meaning, Kouji could only look at it as now devoid of it, they didn’t look like letters anymore, but mere bits of pieces.
[break][break]
”Guess…It’s over. Never touching another Trebuchet again.” And just like that, combination move exploded, their terrible enemies were now gone .
