"man, we're so fucked."[break][break]

but this is exactly where he wants to be—in the thick of a PARADOX SWARM with his back against the wall (literally) fending them off one after the other. his partner may not feel the same, however, but that's their issue.[break][break]

his ferrothorn proves to be a formidable force as its barbs lash out like POWER WHIPS, keeping them at bay. INGRAINED into the ground, they've since bunkered down, ready to sustain.[break][break]

he looks over in time to call out,[break][break]

"oh shit—on your left!"[break][break]

SUNNY DAY brightened the cavern thanks to Gunner's Typhlosion, who fought in the thick of battle alongside Lance's Ferrothorn. Flames filled the space between thorny vines. [break][break]

"Guin, left!" Gunner yelled. [break][break]

The Volcano Pokemon pivoted, aiming a LAVA PLUME at two advancing Iron Crown. The Steel-types screamed but pushed through to retaliate with PSYSHOCK and PSYCHOCUT. [break][break]

"Shit, there are too many. We need to make an opening in their ranks and get out of here." [break][break]

his pokemon move with urgency, operating mostly on their own with the occasional orders that come in the form of whistles that vary in pitch and tone.[break][break]

from the shadows peel his shedinja, its eerie halo blinking as it blocks the psychic attacks from ever finding gunner's typhlosion.[break][break]

"better us than random civilians, right?"[break][break]

sweat drips down the side of his face; his smirk lit by bright flames.[break][break]

Lance was right—better them than a bunch of civilians who couldn't fight. As long as he and Gunner kept the horde of Paradox Pokémon at bay there, they could prevent the loss of any more innocent lives. [break][break]

At least, that was the idea. But the number of Paradox Pokémon stampeding toward them was slowly increasing, and they only had so many Pokémon of their own. [break][break]

"Then we need to create a barricade. Force them through a bottleneck so we can pick them off one by one," Gunner reasoned. Removing a Pokéball from his belt, he released his Mienshao. "Elaine, set up some defenses here!" [break][break]

The ferret chirped and summoned a ROCK SLIDE. Boulders crushed several foes in a half-circle around the men and their Pokémon, piling high for protection. [break][break]

A gap in the wall allowed only a few Paradoxes to dart through, fodder for Guinevere's flames. [break][break]

"got you!"[break][break]

creating a barricade it is.[break][break]

following gunner's approach, more whistles follow, instructing his ferrothorn to send POWER WHIPS to the side, shaping the ROCK SLIDE into a makeshift funnel that encloses the swarm in, making it so they're forced to move one at a time, two at most.[break][break]

"dude, we're so good at this."[break][break]

appearing once more from its PHANTOM FORCE shedinja flies forward, silent as the night as it drags its SHADOW CLAW through the swarm.[break][break]

The use of POWER WHIP to shape the stony barricade was highly effective. Gunner's Typhlosion and Mienshao now faced off only one Paradox Pokémon at a time. They deployed moves like THUNDER PUNCH and DRAIN PUNCH with accuracy. [break][break]

Still, they could only keep going for a short while before exhaustion set in. [break][break]

"We should probably try to scare them back deeper into the chasm," the agent said to the Ranger. "Got anything that can make the horde scatter?" [break][break]

"something scary..."[break][break]

he whiffles through his arsenal of pokemon at his disposal, unable to land on any in particular that could be considered scary. he has always favored the unconventional choices, evident through choices like shedinja and rattata, but he plucks a pokeball from his belt, deciding it close enough.[break][break]

when the capsule bursts open, his venusaur is already in the process of MEGA EVOLVING.[break][break]

"give them your best roar."[break][break]

he pats the grass-type on its butt and watches a swirl of PETAL BLIZZARD rush forward, sweeping through the horde.[break][break]

Gunner's eyes widened at the Venusaur's Mega Evolved form. "Of course! Brilliant idea," he said to Lance. [break][break]

After first recalling his Typhlosion and Mienshao, Gunner selected a new Pokéball from his belt and released its resident. His Blaziken emerged in a flash of light. A quick activation of his Mega Accessory encased the Pokémon in another halo of brilliance. [break][break]

"Up on the wall, Caelia!" Gunner ordered. [break][break]

She hopped up onto the boulders and unleashed a FLAMETHROWER upon the horde below. [break][break]

under the cover of FLAMETHROWER, the horde is quickly taken care of as they disperse back into the unknown of AREA ZERO.[break][break]

raising a hand to wipe sweat off his face, he laughs as he approaches his partner, slapping them on their shoulder.[break][break]

"sick work out there. we make a hell of a duo, you know."[break][break]

then, a suggestion.[break][break]

"if you ever want to partner up again, let me know."[break][break]

Caelia's MEGA EVOLUTION ended, restoring her regular form. Gunner offered her a word of praise before Lance slapped his shoulder, drawing the agent's attention to the other man. [break][break]

Gunner offered the Ranger one of his usual smiles—reserved, thin-lipped. "You too. And I'll keep that in mind." [break][break]

Because Lance was right: they had made a good team. Perhaps if Gunner ever had work to do in Lilycove that he needed Ranger assistance with, he would reach out. [break][break]

For the moment, however, they said their goodbyes and parted ways. [break][break]
