That anger in Ven's voice.... That cold and deep, calculating blackness.... Shiva could almost feel it as she was still tightly holding his hand in hers, it was as if this was neatly starting to mirror her own WRATH, fueling it to a degree. One last squeeze and she very slowly let go of his hand now.
Dispatch, dispatch, dispatch, dispatch, dispatch, dispatch, dispatch, dispatch, dispatch,
dispatch, he said. One word that ringed back in her mind as her gaze remained at these Reuniculus covering behind their screens, the pillars.
Standing in their way.
'What is wrong, my dear?' That was the familiar voice within her.
'They are already dead, like that Solosis' , it whispered to her.
'Thank these Scimitars.'
Shiva didn't reply, but her breathing became shallow as that thought hit her.
Wrath increased, temperature decreased.
She looked over her shoulder, met her dear and precious' Gothitelle's gaze with a suprisingly warm one, solely to her. "Lilith....." she began in a low and deadly serious voice, having nothing of that warmth of her look. "No. I won't let you battle them... You can withstand their mighty psychic powers, but they can as well. Please return into your Ball, where you're safe... I want you to be in your best condition as I desire to experience our destination with you by my side."
Gothitelle is withdrawn. Cottonee, safely and contently enjoying her favorite spot there on her beloved Master's head, remained. She was simply starring at these five Psychic Pokemon there behind their screens.... Ohhhh, she will
ENJOY showing them that these mean nothin' to her.
In all that pale green light a flash of white light broke through,
revealing a big black-and-grey canine. Once his eyes have gotten used the weird scene, he instantly flattened his body, locked his gaze at these big green blobs and spreaded his intimidating wings to the fullest.
He began to growl,
deeply.
Coldly.
Dangerously.
.....Maliciously.
He will not kill without Shiva ordering him to, however.
Valder has Haunter and Mamo out, he will initiate the E-Q and E-vade plan when all are ready.

"...if you think we're going to submit to you like good little trainers, you're wrong. Â Dead wrong. Â And if you think a few rocks are going to keep your pawns safe, you're also wrong about that."
Nathan sends out Ditto (just a normal Ditto today. Forgot to mention that earlier)
and recalls the rest of his pokemon for safety reasons (including Kirlia)! Solosis is still in Nathan's bag...for now.
"Shiva, get Tropius out!"
The simple fact that Valder has sent Mamo out should speak volumes by itself.
Thoughts kept on racing through Shiva's wind, way too fast to be properly caught. The small word 'dispatch' was hovering above it all, shining in a black light - barely seen, but it was there. Her breathing remained shallow and her heartrate increased, but not out of fear. There was no fear within her, not against these Reuniculus having made themselves a home behind the screens and the pillars, Not against these dead Reuniculus - they were so close to reaching their destination, and THESE were standing in their way...... That WRATH remained. It felt like it was only increasing slowly and steadily until it'd keep itself on a constant level during the upcoming battle - it was fueling her, there as it went through all her veins. She didn't enjoy it - still she couldn't help it, but she'll make the best out of it. Mercy? No. 'Why should you have mercy with something soul- and willless that's even under the command of....you know who, my dear?' Clenching her fist tightly, she took a deep breath to recover her coolness to a degree, all while her gaze rested on her butterwolfy, growling and keeping himself ready to POUNCE the very moment he's getting the order to.
A flash of while light from the side followed by the appearance of a big brown Pokemon caused her to avert her attention, finding herself facing Mamo, Valder's well-known Mamoswine dangerously looking down at the obvious foes. One moment later, a flash of realisation washed over Shiva as she understood.
There'll be Earthquakes.
These the Reuniculus cannot avoid.
But these will also hit us and our Pokemon.
Wait..... Not if.......
As if this was the cue, one moment later Nathan already called to her to 'get Tropius out'. Janking her head towards him, he was met with a pretty deadpan look that came up colder than intended due to that frosty wrath. Finding the Ball her familiar grassy sauropode is contained in, she answered to him with a not too impressed "Please don't just order me around like that, Nathan! Could've said it...a bit more kind..... I'm already on it...... Ah, there it is!~" In yet another white light breaking the pale green one, a Pokemon that matched it rather well with his long leafy wings appeared on the scenery: Tropius! He began to stretch his wings and lower his back a little as Shiva swiftly took a leap onto his back as if it was the most normal thing for her, then found Mr. Finder not too far from them all, cowering a little. Frankly, looking as if he'd rather be somewherelse than here. Calmly, she reached out and held her hand to him, asking him to "Please come. There's enough room on my Pokemon's back for two, that way we'll be safe from any Earthquake. All you have to do is cling to me, not somewhere weird please, and we'll be fine!"
Cottonee, still on Shiva's head, eagerly chirped and looked all determined to either drain these weird green blobs their vitality or blow them into oblivion on a sparkling breeze, but Shiva caught her a little off-guard as she plucked her most dear Pokemon from her head and held it in front of her with a half pained and half serious-calm expression. Her voice was soft, but it was straightforward: "Cottonee, dearest one... Yes, you will participate. You'll be able to just get your attacks through their screens, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll do. But.... I'll be already occuied with ordering Yena and Tropius around, with all these voices in the chaos of the battle I'm fearing that it'll be confusing. Please... I want you to listen to Nathan's orders and follow them as if it was me who's giving them to you. It's important that you do." A tight hug between the fluffball and the fae enthusiast followed, in which the latter threw a gaze over to Nathan. "Yes, I love you too. Now go, Cottonee." Patting Shiva's arm with a leaf while casting a determined look up to her beloved Master, the fluffball quickly leaped over to Nathan's side, hovering in a short distance to him while giving him a confident look. 'I'll make it!', she seemed to silently say. 'But please don't touch me, hmpf!'
The gaze Shiva gave him as she and Mr. Finder ascended from the ground into the air seemed to silently say 'Take good care of her this short time, or otherwise.......', while Yena remained where he was, waiting for his orders in grim and growling eager.
------------------
Mechanics:
In short, Cottonee will follow Nathan's orders while Shiva will command Tropius and Mightyena, she and Mr. Finder are safe from Earthquakes due to being mount on the grassy sauropode. From my side, let the battle begin!
Nathan raises an eyebrow when Shiva tells Cottonee to follow his orders instead of hers.
He's not going to complain, though. She's a lot better suited to this situation than the rest of his on-hand pokemon are.
"...alright then...
Ditto, we're counting on you again. Let's make sure we all get out of this in one piece, right?"
And with that, unless Heart is making any changes to what pokemon he has out currently, it's time to rumble! Time for some initiatives!
Incoming!
Here they come!:Â
Incoming! - Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Cottonee: (5) + 8 = 13
Misdreavus: (6) + 6 = 12
Haunter: (3) + 8 = 11
Trevenant: (5) + 6 = 11
Ditto: (2) + 8 = 10
Noibat: (4) + 6 = 10
Mightyena: (4) + 6 = 10
Tropius: (4) + 6 = 10
Mamoswine: (1) + 8 =9
Gustav: (3) + 6 = 9
Solosis: (5) + 3 = 8
Reuniclus: (2) + 3* dex + 2 survival = 7
"Cottonee, quick, over here! Â Ditto, do what you do best! Â And both of you, hit them as hard as you can." Leveling Strength to 4 for 30 exp!
Ditto's first action: Transform into Tropius so it, Nathan, Cottonee, and Solosis can avoid getting hit by EQ!  That will be followed by using Razor Leaf twice!
Razor Leaf x2
Accuracy: 5 + 3 + 3 - 1 Accuracy - 4/5 Actions = 6/5 D6
Damage: 2 + 4 Strength + STAB - Light Screen = 7 D6 base - 1 damage
Note: 4 successes crits! Hits all conscious Reuni simultaneously!
Cottonee will use Giga Drain three times from atop Tropius Ditto! Â She's not taking any EQs today!
Giga Drain x3 (focusing on Reuni 3, the one in the middle, first in an attempt to weaken the chain)
Accuracy: 11 base - 3/4/5 actions = 8/7/6 D6
Damage: 3 + 4 + STAB = 8 D6
Effect: restores HP equal to half the damage dealt (rounded down)
Note: Infiltrator is finally seeing some use!
Nathan has some...slightly more complex actions. Â If Ditto has 4 or less HP, Nathan is using a potion on it. Â And if Solosis tries to get out of the bag, Nathan is gonna Grapple it to prevent it from getting away or getting off Tropius Ditto.
Grapple!
Accuracy: 11 base
Note: Solosis definitely doesn't have more than 4 Strength or 5 Dex, so it can't automatically escape from being grabbed.
With joy Shiva noticed from the corner of her eye that Cottonee understood and was all eager to outright slip through the Reuniclus' screens - 'No wonder!', she thought, 'From the moment we've met she hadn't really have the opportunity to put her stealthy movement into good use.' Bet the fluffball will enjoy it and deliver a suprise to the Reuniclus that they won't forget so quickly!
She was also positive that Cottonee will make a hearted leap onto either Tropius' or Dittropius' head by herself ( = without an order) to avoid being hit when the earth begins to shake, depends who she's closer to in that moment. She's still interested to avoid being held by anyonelse by her Master though. J...Just because it's an important battle she won't approve anyonelse than her to close to her fluff, hmmmmpffff!
Mightyena kept growling intimidatingly, kept his body and mind fixated on these nasty green blobs, kept waiting for his cue to
pounce. His ears twitched as he heard the voice of his alpha female calling his name, but....huh?... Why was her voice....so
shaky ? "Yena! You see these metallic spikes in their head? Aim for that spot, try to rip that mockery of a device out of 'em, tear it apart, TEAR ITS BEARER APART! SINK YOUR FANGS INTO IT!! *silent and low sob* E......
.en..
.e.
..end....
END AT LEAST ONE'S MISERY, FREE IT FROM THE SCIMITAR'S ABUSE AND THIS LIFE THAT ISN'T A LIFE AT ALL ANYMORE!!!" These were totally no tears that Shiva had to wipe away with the sleeve of her cloak. It must be...the flight wind, yes, she must have gotten....something her eyes..............
There was no time to deal with that now however. She was still fueled by that wrath and adrenaline, and actions needed to be taken! Another quiet sob escaped her before she gaze Tropius' neck a squeeze in order to catch his attention. "Tropius', please send a few Razor Leaves at our foes. Also.....let me...."
She reached out and tried to pluck the intact Nanab Berry from his neck. "....Let me just get that Berry....."
--------------------------------
Yena
Accuracy Roll LETHAL CRUNCH! 1: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3*Brawl - 3 Actions = 5d6, crit chance!
Accuracy Roll LETHAL CRUNCH! 2: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3*Brawl - 4 Actions = 4d6
Accuracy Roll LETHAL CRUNCH! 3: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3*Brawl - 5 Actions = 3d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 3 Power of the move + 1 STAB = 7d6, the automatic SE-damage ends up being nullified by Reflect.
Additional notes: 1CD to lower Vitality by 1. Yena himself is protected from CD-effects by his Shield Dust Ability and is immune to Psychic Type attacks.
The aim is to end things only for ONE Reuniclus please! I'm feeling it's justified in Shiva's book to attempt so in this specific case...
Tropius
Accuracy Roll Razor Leaf 1: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 4 Channel - 1 reduced Accuracy - 3 Actions = 5d6
Accuracy Roll Razor Leaf 2: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 4 Channel - 1 reduced Accuracy - 4 Actions = 4d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 2 Power of the move + 1 STAB = 6d6, minus cover and Light Screen however.
Additional notes: High Crit-Chance! It's also a spread move.
The third action is as agreed determined by an Dexterity Check without penalties, as Shiva attempts to take the uneatable Nanab Berry from Tropius and create a half eaten one out of the one he grew today to be immedaitely used in one go.
Accuracy Roll Natural Gift Bug Type 3: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 4 Channel - 5 Actions = 4d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 3 Power from the Nanab Berry, no STAB = 6d6, the SE-damage ends us being nullyfied by Light Screen.
Being the astute and extremely Insightful individual he was, Ventus was easily able to ascertain along with everyone else that utter annilation was in order for those soulless mockeries of Reunicli when Mamo was sent out along side Haunter by his mercenary. Knowing this, he sprinted over to Mamo ASAP, and, after presumably getting quick permission from his merc, scaled up the furry beast's back along with their master to best avoid the shockwaves. During/After this, he quickly barked out orders for his high flying family, his tone harsh and brooking absolutely zero tolerance for any deviance or screw ups. "Malphena, power up with Nasty Plot, then use your Ghostly talents to maneuver around their cover and blast all these Reunicli with Icy Winds! Lucifer, Tailwinds for yourself, Malphena, Tropius, and Gustav first, then Ditto, Mamoswine, Trevenant, and Cottonee, before finally Mightyena and Mamowine! Let us destroy these twisted husks or those abominable and vile Scimitars, and show them all we are not to be trifled with."
Orders: Malphena will be powering up with Nasty Plot, before using Icy Wind 2 times and her Ghost powers to ignore cover; if that does't work somehow, though, she'll just focus on Confusing and then subsequently Hexing one individual Reuni. Lucifer is going to be the buffer in this Round, making sure ALL his allies get a Tailwind buff, as DEX boosts always help! Given this is a critical battle here, all the defensive measures that those blobs have in place, and I want to get Nasty Plot off almost garenteed, I'm spending 36 XP to increase Ven's STR by 1 and Alert by 1, leaving him with 4 STR and 2 Alert. Let's wipe those green psychically talented blobs away like the snot they are!
Moves:
Nasty Plot
Accuracy: 8D6 Dice (With the Alert Point!) -Â 3 Actions = 5D6 Dice
Effect: Known.
Icy Wind
Accuracy: 8D6 Dice without Tailwind, 10D6 if it does - 4/5 Actions = 4/3D6 or 6/5D6 Dice
Damage: STR (4) + 2 + Nevermelt Ice = 7D6 Base Damage, 9D6 Base if Nasty Plot goes off.
Confuse Ray (If Icy Wind can't be used optimally)
Accuracy: 9D6 or 11D6 - 4 Actions = 5/7D6 Dice
Effect: Known.
Hex
Accuracy: Same Base as Confuse Ray, so 4/6D6 Dice in the end
Damage: STR + 2 + STAB = 7D6 Base Danage, 9D6 if Nasty Plot goes off, and 11D6 if both Nasty Plot AND Confusion go off.
Effect: None.
Tailwind
Accuracy: First one will be 10D6 Base Dice, then next will be 12D6 - 3/4/5 (Assuming he gets his first Tailwind off!)Â = 7/8/7D6 Dice
Effect: Known.
