As Zahak appeared underneath Burdock, the Haze shifted, giving away its surprise attack. Burdock struck downward with shadowy hooves, bursting the Dragon Darts in gouts of flame and gore. With each dart struck, the soul of the little Dreepy was sucked into Burdock's mane, joining the tapestry. 

"Oh yeah? And what's my M.O. then?" Zac asked, laughing. He moved closer to Amor so that he could see him more clearly. ""It found me, really. I was trying to grow some strange seeds and it just appeared!" 

Meanwhile, Burdock turned its singular, grave-light eye on the dragon. Pale flames, like crackling afterimages, swarmed Zahak, seeking to sear and burn its blue skin. 

"I don't think anyone can ever control a legendary like they do in the tales. Keep it in a Pokeball? Forget it. The most I can hope for is that it comes when I call." 

-Burdock burst the Dragon Darts (taking some damage)
-Burdock's Grim Neigh activated (twice)
-Burdock used Will-O-Wisp

A sliver of Aqua's soul flowed into Burdock like gray water, adding to its mane. The horse let out a whinny that made the sands shiver and dance, and the haze around them grew thicker. 

Zahak. A ghost. But being a ghost just made Burdock's hold on its soul all the more inevitable. As the Dragapult filled the air with whizzing Dreepy's, Burdock disappeared back into the haze. Shadows pulled like ink taffy, and as the dragon darts searched for their target the shadow horse rematerialized behind Zahak. Burdock's Phantom Force tore at Dragapult with its own shadow. The attack ripping chunks from the shade, which then reformed into a streaking sphere of darkness that careened towards Zahak like a runaway herse.

-Burdock attacked Zahak with Phantom Force
-Burdock attacked Zahak with Shadow Ball

"Unsporting? Nah ya got it all wrong mate! I'm just so full of energy that I can't let the battle slow down!" Zac tossed out two more Pokemon,  bringing his total up to five! 

Blastoise grabbed for Simba's Plasma Fists as the cat came in lightning fast, lightning crackled along the turtle, paralyzing her. Meg turned just in time to take Ghidorah's Body Slam head on. The three-headed dragon smashed into the slowed Blastoise, and she was down for the count.

Maractus launched a spiny assault at the huge dragon, hailing him with Pin Missiles. 

Goodwitch's cackling sounded across the battlefield, leaking from dips in the dunes and the cracks in Zac's cooler of drinks. Zappa crackled across the sands, dashing and dipping as he Volt Switched, leading the witch on a merry chase. Busta and Flapple watched, Dark Pulse and Grav Apple at the ready, as they waiting for the ghost to reappear. 

"Woooo!" shouted Zac, as he finished his can of Charja-Cola and grabbed another. At this rate there would be none for Kaz when he lost! Just kidding, Zac had plenty more. "Try to keep up mate!" Zac said, searching for one more Pokeball, "This battle's going up to 6v6, I can feel it!"


-Meg was hit by Plasma Fists and Body Slam. Meg fainted!
-Maractus attacked Hydreigon with Pin Missile
-Zappa ran away from Mismagius,
-Clawitzer and Flapple have Dark Pulse and Grav Apple ready. are waiting for the ghost to reappear

Bulu's tree slamming into the archer, and the legendary let out a roar of victory before its shadow pulled tight, pinning the raging bull to a single spot in the undergrowth. The roar turned sour, and he swung for the oncoming Whis, only to miss as the trees around him starting to shrink and wither.

BUUUUUUU!

Whis's attack connected, pummeling Bulu's wooden body with electrified fists. Bulu went to gore the cat before tossing the tree club at him. All the time, the foliage around Bulu had begun to wilt into mush. The legendary's perpetual Grassy Terrain had been replaced by Insomnia, and the magical greenery was fading. 

With a groan like a timbering tree, Bulu crunched down onto the leafy sand, before falling sideways. 

"I think he's trying to fall asleep again," Zac said, looking over at the distressed legendary. "You alright buddy?" he asked. Bulu responded with a gruff snort. He was not alright. "Well, that looks like the end of it. Nice work mate!" Zac said, shaking Razz's hand.

-Bulu is hit by Whis's Plasma Fists
-Bulu's Grassy Terrain started to fade
-Bulu gave up, and tried (unsuccessfully) to sleep

"That's a great story!" Zac said, his heart warming at the age-old tale of man falling in love with a fish. "My first Pokemon was Zappa. A Heliolisk. Mum found him in the back yard one day and she made the mistake of feeding him. That was bloody eighteen years ago. The little guy was a scaly brother to me growing up."

Mantyke's attack shook the air with rings of shimmering water. They broke on Dugtrio like a wet chair, and the blonde triplets spun around, confused, their gorgeous hair sticking to their tanned faces and getting in their eyes. In confusion they Dug underground, tunneling through the soaked sand before popping up closer to the waves. "Back this way!" Zac called encouragingly. 

-Mantyke's Water Pulse hit Dugtio!
-Dugtrio is confused!
-Dugtrio used Dig!
