Mega Arbok's Initiative: (2) + *8 ( + 2 From Zen State and Mega Boost) = 10
Mega Arbok goes after Felica, but before Shiintonic


Shiintonic snatch the X-Defense out of the air and crushes into the palm of their pourous hands, absorbing the contents and raising its Defense by 2! Which could not have come at a better time, as Shedninja phased right into the material plain to barrel straight into the fae mushroom, looking remarkably better from its time spent in the nether world! (HP is maxed out!)

....only for the giant hydra to intercept them mid flight and slug them in the face with a blinding fast flick of his tail! That's Priority for ya!

With silent grace and coyness, a the stealthy Beautifly just barely glides past your head with an air of deadily playfulness, and before you could realize what just happen, it descends upon Shiintonic, blasting it with a high pitch, shrilling waves of noise!

(3)(2)(1)(4)(5)(5)(6) Hit!
Damage: STR (*5) + 3 + STAB + SE - Vitality (*6) = 2D6 + 1 Damage
(5)(2)5Shiintonic is knocked unconscious from the racket, the light being emitted by its body and its effect cutting out in an instant!

Darkness cloacked the area once more, and you could just feel their sastified, deadly intent as wicked beauty used the momentum they gained to summon a pink energy blob in the shape of an heart and sent it straight at Genger!

Attract
Accuracy: 6D6 - 5 Actions = 2D6 Dice
(4)(3)
The heartfelt energy collides straight into the good? spector, causing them to began to swoon over the enemy (Attracted!)!

Unfortunately for Beautifly, her second attack left completely open to the resident cleric of the group, who rubbed their hands together and channel their latent energy to create a weak pulse of electricity, aimed squarely at them!

(5)(4)(5)(1)(5)

Flitch: (3)(3)(1) Nope

Genger's Attract Check: (1)(3)(1)(6)
The poisonous ghost is too busy ogling Beautifly to do much of anything, and 'Looker' lets out something most unpleasant when that happened!

Shedninja vanish for a split second, briefly causing you to scan the given area to discern where its at, until it appears right beside you, latching onto you arm and beganing to suck the vigor right out of you!

Leech Life
Accuracy: DEX (2) + Fight (2) + Brawl (*3) - 4ctions - 1 Pain = 2D6 Dice

(6)(3)(4) Reiner takes 2 Damage; 6/8 HP , - 1 Pain ; Shedninja regains 1 HP!

You managed to pry off the life stealing bastard and hurl them far, far away from you, feeling weak/enervated as you clutched your arm with a grimace of pain! Your shiny feline and venomous constricter, needless to say, reacted in a extremely furious and almost murderous manner, as both bore down upon the insect spector with brutal force! Blissey, making a quick judgment call on what to do, decided to facilitate the power of Mega Arbok , as that venomous monster was more than capable of taking down that menace! The stealthy butterfly didn't like their partner being ruthlessly or care for the cleric's supporting shenanigan, though, and so decided to focus the pink blob down with more ear bleeding vibrations!

Helping Hand
Accuracy: 9D6 - 5 Actions = 4D6 Dice
(2)(5)(6)(1)
Mega Arbok is being assisted in their next attack!

(6)(5)(4)(5)(4)(4)(4)(2) Shedninja takes 8 Damage; 1/13 HP!
Flitch: (1)(1)(1) Nope

Gengar's Attract Check: (1)(3)(4)(4)
"Gengar, get your head out of the clouds and use Shadow Ball on Shedninja, for its only barely clinging onto 'life' as we speak!" your disguised friends shouts at them, causing them to momentarily snap out of their lovestruck daze to conjure up a sphere of necrotic energy and send it straight at the other spector!

Shadow Ball
Accuracy: DEX (3) + Fight (3) + Channel (5) - 5 Actions = 6D6 Dice
(5)(5)(6)(-)(-)(-)

The attack makes its way towards Shedninja, and just as it was about to collide and make it rest in piece, the orb suddenly was deflected   by a pulse of denial to your sense, causing the move to carren and impact into the side of a building to little effect! One time Auto Miss of Wonder Guard triggered.

With his life insurance spent, health in the red, and being stared down by multiple opponents that were more than able to pierce through his Ability, the buggy ghost knew his game was up. They  were going to be knocked out soon, and no amount of healing or dodging would prevent that grim outcome. Still, despite this ugly truth they were facing, they would not go gentle in the night. They will fight, until their darkness is exstinguished by the light.

A black aura appeared around the Shedninja, and you could feel a shiver beginning to trail up your back as you realized that it was about to do something unspeakably bad to you. 'Looker' , being well learned in all manner of Ghost Pokémon moves, recognized the move that the insect spector was about to pull of, and their eyes shrank into pin pricks as they shouted "NO!" Acting on pure gut instinct, your best leaps into the fray and right in front of Shedninja, just as they finished channeling their fell energy and sent it flying in your direction, hitting them instead!

GRUDGE
Accuracy: DEX (*3) + Fight (2) + Channel (5) - 5 Actions - 3 Pain + 1 Will Point = 3D6 Dice
(5)(4)(1)
Petrel Saving Throw:
(2)(3)(3)

Petrel's very will to fight is forcibly destroyed by the move, causing him and Gengar to black out for the remainder of the fight!!! Shedninja soon after faints, fading away into the darkness and sastified it took out one of the bigger threats to its master...

Softboiled
Accuracy: Automatic
(3)(4)(5)(6) Blissey restores 3 HP! 6/8 HP


Big Buzz
(4)(1) Hits!
(5)(4)(5)(4)(5)(5) Blissey's is bowled over by the deadly butterfly's racket, no longer able to handle its power!

Seeing that his latest nemesis just completed a successful kamikaze attack against Petrel and the cleric being taken down too filled the even more deadly snake with ice cold RAGE, and he put it to  great effectiveness by launching himself at the pesky bug and sinking its gelid teeth into them!

Ice Fang
Accuracy: 11D6 - 1 Accuracy - 6 Actions = 4D6 Dice
(4)(6)(6)(6) Hits!
Damage: STR (*5) + 2 + SE - Vitality (*5) = 2D6 + 1 Damage
(4)(6) Beautifly takes 3 Damage; 11/14 HP (?) , - 1 Pain
Freeze: They are Paraylzed, so this does not take affect!
Flitch: (5)(6)(6)(3) The cold caused them to Flitch, though!
However, they suddenly began to glow with power, due to their Weakness Policy triggering! + 2 STR!

Felicia herself wasted no time using their own inner powers to levitate several loose stones from the surrounding area, before they began to pelt the gorgous butterfly with them!

Power Gem
Accuracy: 12D6 - 6 Actions = 6D6 Dice
(5)(*6)(6)(1)(1)(6) Soooo close to a crit, but it still hits!
Damage: STR (6*) + 3 + QE - Vitality (5*) = 4D6 + 2 Damage
(5)(2)(3)(4) Beautifly takes 4 Damage; 7/14 HP , - 2 Pain!

Beautifly is Flitched!

Ice Fang
(4)(1)(1)(3) The bug's erratic flittering due to her disorientation caused the giant hydra to miss its mark!

Power Gem
(3)(2)(4)(6)(2) Hits!
(6)(1)(4)(2) Beautifly takes 4 Damage; 3/14 HP

Battered and thoroughly put through the wringer despite the steep loses they helped opposed on their prey, the butterfly very ungracefly retreats into the dark shadows to heal and plan out its next move! Whatever it its, its going to hurt someone HARD with all the boosts now under its belt!

Current Status:

Shedninja: KOed
Beautifly: 3/14 HP, + 4 STR (One from a Quiver Dance, + 2 from Weakness Policy, + 1 from ?), + 1 DEX , Paralyzed and Petrified (- 3 DEX), - 2 Pain

Blissey: KOed
Felicia: Fresh and Boosted
Mega Arbok: Fresh and Mega Boosted
Reiner: 6/8 HP, Zen Boosted, - 1 Pain
Petrel and Gengar: Knocked out due to their Will Points being deleted by Grudge

Angelica sends out her last remaining Pokémon she has on hand, her Alola Dugtrio!
Intitiative: (2) + 6 = 8
It goes last in the current turn order.

The Vampire's Minions Round 2

[Lord Windos]

So there was only one thing Arial could do: Talk and see what to do. But before that he whisper to Baltazar to only he and Arial could hear: "If she do something, like throw the Pokeball, use your psychic power to her to stop use the pokeball. Dont like, but we do. Confusion two times if Buzzwole apear or ancient power if another bug apear."

"Wow. Now thats a surprise. You caugh me off guard when your Shedinja apear from nowere and distract everyone. That pokemon live for his name, heh." Then he looks Baltazar and give a weak punch to his pokemon. "Good work in save my ass mate. You always save me in worse moments." Baltazar then simple nod his head. Arial then looks to the Vampire and say other thing. "What is I more surprise is your sneak move about kidnaped me. Serious, dont need to grab me in the first encounter. You should invite me to a dinner in some date and whaterever. Perhaps in a sushi bar. I love that ones." Arial dont exactly fear about the aparition of the Vampire. He live up by his name as madman. "Talking about it, that a real mess you did in the laboratory. Kill so much people is not cool. Not that I care so much. From what I care, humanity can explode itself from what I care, but, a job its a job. Now could you please hide that knife? You not William Coyote from what I know."

Puting that aside Arial then asks somethings: "So talking serious. Why you kidnaped me? With that distraction you could caugh one of the girls who was along with us. But you instead caugh me, a man. From what I heard you only hunt womans, and, unless everyone lie to me all this time, I am a man. A crazy, maniac, misontropic and suicidal one. But still a man. Unless..." Then Arial made a shock face and a comic position. "YOU THINK I AM A GIRL?! HOW RUDE!" Of course is just a distraction. He hopes to talk until someone come to help. In this moment, his mouth is the only weapon he have. Along with the Pokemon and the Cursed Arm.

Baltazar silently gave you a mental ping of assurance, willing to do anything in order to safeguard you from the Vampire's terrible might!

Meanwhile, the vampiric night stalker was very confused by the general insanity of your opening statement, retracting the knife, tilting her hooded head and letting out what sounded like perplexed chittering at what was said. She had a hard enough time as is comprehending those that were not like her or who she did not closely hunt with, let alone someone that was distinctly/impossibly completely unafraid of her! She was the Hunter, and people (almost entirely women) were Prey, so they should obviously be wary/terrified of them until they were not whether that be because she had feasted on their life force or proved themselves non-hostile. Granted, she took care not to harm Broken Man and that he was comfortable while she spirited him away to her Lair, so that could the reason why he's so friendly....?

You next response, however, is more straightforward/clear , but it still took a few moments for them to process the meaning behind your words and come up with the right words to express herself. When she did, it was in that voice that made your head fell like you drank five shots of tequilia in one go.

{You, like me. Broken. Cursed. Curious. Strange.}

The Vampire shook her head, letting out a scabbling noise as they tried again to clearly convey her thoughts/reasoning.

{Other, dangerous. Dark. Wrath. You, not. Curious. Need to know. Why similar? What way? How? Wanted to know...}

{My drones. Make Darkness look away. Keep busy. Hunt. I come, take you. Away. Safe place. Make mine. Need to know. Want to know. ....Lonely.}

{Now, MINE. Come. Not, take. Mine, come NOW. Hurry, or Darkness. Or worse...}

With that 'said', she hops over to you and begin to try and tug you along down the allyway, urgency in their stride as they wanted to be escape these hunting FAR away from Darkness. She's still not hostile, but no longer is she overcautious about you or the space golem, and wants to have you with her at all costs. Such attention from the opposite gender was usually a lovely, welcoming thing to have, but with a Cursed Arm using blood soaked hunter....

"Woah girl! Dont be need to be so harsh! I not so acostumed myself to have this type of atention, but if you so curious about me, I think it would not hurt talk a bit! Well, we could say I am broken. A little. Cursed? Perhaps. Curious? A lot. Strange? I feel insulted. I talk a little about me." Arial talk to avoid that strange feeling. A feeling like he almost drunk.  He begin to talk and keep the Vampire distract. A time ago, he teach Astronite the language of deaf and the voiceless, to this type of ocasion to Arial talk with his hands since Astronites is super smar, that work. When Arial was talking, he put one hand behind his own back to the Vampire dont see and talk with his hands to Astronite undestand: "When I give the signal, use Charge Beam in the sky".

"Years ago, I suffer Psychic torture because of evil people. Evil people hurt me a lot, to the point my mind almost destroyed. They heal me, and do again. Over and over again. All the days was like hell. One day, my pokemon free and cause chaos to evil people. I free and kill all of they. Could survive, but my mind was permanent broken. I can still live, but cant live normal life like other people. Like you say, broken and cursed."

He talk that way to the vampire undestand and buy time. To this point Reiner and CIA have defeated at least one of the pokemon. They will have time to defeat the other one and even heal. He must distract a little more. He then talk another thing to the Vampire.

"Do you...have a name at least? I want to know the name of my future...girfriend I think? Mine is Arial. Arial CopyCat. Maniac, misontropic, masoquist, hater of humanity in general, madman, and suicidal person. What yours? Also, can I have a glimpse of you face behind that hood if you dont mind lady? I tell you my story and name and you know my face. I want to know yours."

Arial then think another thing to keep the Vampire busy.

"How I will now you not taking me to you lair just too use me as a snack to midnight. The mess you do in the laboratory make me feel cautious. I dont want to be eaten alive. My taste is terrible. I have many diseases: Feaber, AIDS, and other ones." He started to cough to distract her. Damn Reiner, where are you people?! I kick you later if you dont finish already!

[Lord Windos]

In spite of her irritation/impatience at your continued gabbing right NOW, instead of accompanying her and flee the area before the Darkness finds them, The Vampire fascination/curiousity with you was enough that she ceased her attempt to drag you away to their lair (For now...). They listened with what seemed like rapt attention, quietly chittering to herself as she drank in that snippet of your sordid life you offered, and letting out a few hissess at the brief but vivid descriptions of your psychic torture. She knew what it was like to be hurt because of who they were. They were the Hunter, the Predator, and because of that she was chased/harmed by those that did not care for her or her activities in their Territory. Like him, the blood sucker's past was filled with pain of all varieties, but she was not aware of the details. Too hazy, scattered, disorganized. But the hurt was there, and it was real.

At your next few questions the serial killer reacted in the most unexpected ways: she let you go and took a few skittering steps , her posture and body language now broadcasting shyness and fear of all things!

{....Can't remember. Lost....hidden? Gone. Prey call me Vampire. Killer. Monster. Those my names? Don't know....}

{....Want? Me? ....Confused. Who want me? Tried finding Mates. Rejected. Hurt. Feared. Lonely....}

{.......You, though. Arial? Desire? Like me? Want me? .....Scared, strange, but.....? Happy. Feels...good}

{No see face. Not....good. Scary. Don't like it. But mine. Hide it. No one have to see....}

{Story..... Always hunted prey. Males not prey. Females Prey. Drones with me, care, protect, helped. Lived together. Long time, nothing change. Hunt. Wander. Survive. Then meet Big Bug. Scary, first. Then, made friend. Now, we hunt together. Funny, wierd, but good. Friend.}

Running out of things to say for now, and driven back a bit by your innoculous question, things appeared to have reached an uneasy equilibrium between you and them.....until Shedninja materialized right in front of them! In an instant, the Vampire was alert, frighted, and worried, scooping the spector out of the air and letting distressed noises at their condition. They were barely hanging on to consciousness by a thread, but they still had enough energy left to convey the status of the battle, before they Fainted. The blood sucker was shocked and trembling at the news, but she managed to recall her precious Drone after a bit of fumbling, before her head shot straight up into the night sky as she let out what sounded like angry cat Pokémon being murdered by Noise style music, with a good amount of ear bleeding buzzing thrown in for good measure! (Reiner will hear this at the end of Round 2)

At first, only silence greeted her response.

Then, Something responded back.

It heard her.

It knew.

It will serve.

You felt the air above you head suddenly being whipped up in a flurry, and you swiftly looked into the air to see a HUGE, shadowy thing zoom across the night sky in the direction of Reiner's battle. You were not able to get a good look at it before it flew out of sight, but you knew what it was based; you could FEEL the understanding throbbing in your skull.

BUZZWOLE

In the next moment, the Vampire snapped you out of that horrified reve by rushing forward and violently began to drag you along the ground, her patience and calm clearly spent at the fact that The Darkness claimed the lifeforce of her Shedninja, and she 'said' as much too!

{DARKNESS DESTORYED!  HUNT ME! BIG BUG CRUSH THEM. BUT FLEE. FLEE TO LAIR! COME, NOW!!!!!!!!!!}

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner is completely calm as he recalls Shiinotic.  Nothing was going to faze him right now, fueled by Zen State as he is.

"Tsk tsk.  You're not the hunter here, butterfly."

First off, out comes Reiner's own creature of the shadows, Weavile!  Reiner issues no verbal commands to him, though.  Just an open hand behind his back that then closes into a fist.

His simple hand signal for 'steal.'  It was time for Weavile to do what he does best.

Mew's next on the agenda.  'Mew, help me find that Beautifly before it strikes.  Shadows can't hide its mental presence, and we can yank it out into the open with Psychic and ruin its ambush before it knows what's going on.'

As for everyone else...

"Felicia, keep using Power Gem!  Arbok, keep bringing the pain!  Angelica, back them up however you can!  That Beautifly needs to go down, NOW!"

Reiner and Mew
Attempt to find Beautifly before it strikes and counter-ambush it, hopefully stopping Beautifly's own plan!  And if Reiner goes down, he's got that Max Revive ready for emergency use.

Weavile
3 Actions.  Learn Snatch for 40 exp and steal ALL of Beautifly's stat boosts (Quiver Dance, Weakness Policy, and Petrify for a total of +3 Attack and +1 Defense, leaving Beautifly with nothing but -2 Dex from Paralysis), then lay into them with Icicle Crash a few times!

Felicia
More Power Gems!  Pretty straightforward.  She'll have 5 actions to work with.  If she has some leftover, she can use Amnesia to buff herself.

M-Arbok
Another Sucker Punch to intercept the ambush if Reiner and Mew don't manage to stop it themselves, and using Ice Fang instead if the ambush is interrupted.  All following actions, lots and lots of Ice Fangs!  4 Actions to work with here.  If he has any leftover when Beautifly is KOed, he'll use Coil to buff himself.

Angelica
Whatever she thinks will help, really.  Up to her.

"Gah! You know. Its not cool drag someone with such violence! Baltazar! Do the thing!" Fuck everything. Arial must warn everyone about the comming of Buzzwole and join them. But if he let the Vampire escape all the job would be waste. Besides, Arial know Reiner is more then capable to deal with Buzzwole. After all, he have Mew itself to him. Now, the Vampire dont have any pokemon left and even his best pokemon is out of action. It his chance to deal with her. He dont like do that, but he must do something! Arial then reach his Pokeball and bring Sekmet too out from his Pokeball. "You not the only who can use a few bugs! Baltazar! Use Confusion, but hold your psychic power! Imobilize her and but dont hurt her!"

Mecanical: Hold energy to paralyze the Vampire, but dont kill her. Arial still wants to talk with her later. He is curious about her story and might want help. He feel simpaty for her.

[Lord Windos]

At your command, Baltazar zooms into the midnight sky and shoots off a Charge Beam, signally to Reiner and co your and the Vampires general location! - 2 Rounds for them to find you!

This, however, caused the blood sucker react with swiftness and frustration, as she rapidly got into your personal space to pin your arms in place! She will NOT let what is hers get away, she WILL take him back to her hidden Lair, and she will NOT allow him to capture her like Prey!

Arial is now Grappled, and can't escape from the Vampire! He can still try to attack her directly, though!

Fortunately, you had just enough time to summon Sekmet to your side, where by it took her a couple of seconds to figure out what the blasted hell was going before she could react! In that same span of time, the serial killer did something that entirely defied your expectations: she threw out two MORE Pokeballs, and in a flash of light a Volcarona and Yanmega appeared in the now cramped back ally! The fire moth gave off an aura of utter immolation, a desire to consume all that opposed their master with Fire and Life Stealing Techniques, and the prehistoric dragonfly flited erratically to and from in mid air, a powerful blood lust emanating from her!

Then, to round out how disasterously things have went, the Vampire, with just one arm pinning you against her durable, hard form, shot out her other to quickly ready a gun into it. Given how close you were to the life sucker, you were perfectly able to deduce what type of weapon you had, a dark, almost black green taser gun. In that moment, Tobias (through your connection with it), helpfully chime in to confirm your worst fears: this was the Bug type Cursed Arm.

Residuam Culicidae. Owner: Riza Target: Baltazar


With angry chittering that you somehow knew was some form of explicative, she took aim and fire the Arm at the space golem!

They are also stuck with a the Dart, and will lose an additional 3 HP by the end of the first round of combat! Dart can be removed after 1 Round with a STR + Survival Check!

Your trusted being from outer space let out a pained groan as the shot landed on their chest, and he felt the effect of the Cursed Arm beginning to kick in! Still, they were far from put out by the life draining weapon, as they focused their telekinetic powers to give the Vampire one hell of a headache!

The Vampire Round 1

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

At your command, Baltazar zooms into the midnight sky and shoots off a Charge Beam, signally to Reiner and co your and the Vampires general location! - 2 Rounds for them to find you!

This, however, caused the blood sucker react with swiftness and frustration, as she rapidly got into your personal space to pin your arms in place! She will NOT let what is hers get away, she WILL take him back to her hidden Lair, and she will NOT allow him to capture her like Prey!

The Vampire Round 1

"BALTAZAR!" Arial shout worry by his old friend. Rage and anger boiled inside him. Arial look to the Vampire, pure hatred and anger stamped in his face. "You..." A sound almost look a grown took from his mouth. "Hurt in Pokemon battles is one thing...but this..." Then he shout to the Vampire. "YOU PAY FOR THIS! NO ONE HURT ONE MEMBER OF MY FAMILY!" Then Arial do the only he could: He give the Vampire a headbutt to free from his grab and give quick order to Sekmet and Baltazar. "Baltazar! Focus in dodge the attacks of Volcarona and Yanmega! Use Ancient Power against Volcarona! Two times! Sekmet! Show them why you are the Ultimate Queen of all Nuclear Power! Use Radioacid! Two times against Volcarona! If he fall, use against Yanmega! Don't forget to hold the Nuclear Power! We don't want a bunch of Nuc-bugs! And no lethal damage you two!"

Mechanical: Headbutt the Vampire and if I get free use one Potion to heal Baltazar. Two Ancient Power against Volcarona and two Radioacid against Volcarona two, but if he fall use against Yanmega. And if I have enough Dex I want get Tobias and use the Mind Shoot in her face since I too much close to her so that's no way I can miss the attack.

The Vampire's Minions Round 2!

Weavile's Initiative: (3) + 7 = 10
Goes at the same time as Felicia!

'Gotcha, Reiner! Let's see if we can't ferret out that annoying pest's location!' Mew 'said', before she combedboth your senses to snoop out the buttefly!

Mew's and Reiner's Scan: Insight (*5) + Survival (3) + Alert (2) + Mew! (2) = 12D6 Dice

Beautifly's Stealth: Insight (4) + Survival (5) + Stealth (5) = 14D6
(3)(5)(1)(2)(3)(3)(4)(5)(6)(4)(4)(5)(5)(2) 8 Success

You don't know whether or not this Beautifly has received special training to avoid detection by Psychic types, or if it was THAT good at hiding in the shadows, as neither you or the pink panther were able to ascertain her location! That is, not until they gracefully swooped in from the top of a far away building, looking fully restored and Status free after their brief siesta from battle, and let loose a scouring current of wind at everyone in the clearing!

.....Mega Arbok, however, strongly objected to such an action, and instantly nailed the damn pest with slap from his tail to show his displeasure!

Alola Dugtrio: (6)(3)(6)(1)(1)(5)(1) Alola Dugtrio takes 2 Damage; 3/7 HP, - 2 Pain!

The giant hydra let out a multiple tone hiss of pure pain one he caught his breath as the wind died, before they set their livid, FURIOUS gaze(s) upon that terrible little bug, before it lunged out in a burst of speed to freeze and tear it into pieces!

Ice Fang

(6)(6) Beautifly takes 3 Damage; 9/14 HP
Flitch: (4)(1)(2)(3) Nope
Freeze: (5)(1) Nope

The re-inforced mole triplet, after nearly being taken down by a Bug/Flying Pokémon of all things, let out a chorus of angry "DUGTRIO DUGTRIO DUGTRIO!" and channeled their indignity into the ground beneath that damn butterfly, causing a large jagged chuck of stone to rip through the asphalt and into it!

(6)(4) Hits!
Damage: STR (3) + 4 + QE - Vitality (*5) = 2D6 + 2 Damage
(3)(4) Beautifly takes 3 Damage; 6/14 HP , - 2 Pain!

She let out an agonized cry as the stone jutted into her body, prompting her to pump her wings and gain even greater altitude in the sky! The increadibly ruthless bug gave everyone a powerful death glare, brimming with the intent to do unspeakable things to them all, before it gathered the wind beneath its wings and buffeted everyone with a biting breeze!

Air Cutter 3
Accuracy: 11D6 - 6 Actions - 2 Pain = 3D6 Dice
(6)(4)(2) It hits, and thank Arceas it can't crit!
Base Damage: 10D6
Reiner: (4)(5)(6)(5) Reiner is taken out by the horribly effective attack, but thanks to the Max Revive he palmed, he right as rain with Max HP!; Zen Boost is still in effect too!

Flitch: (1)(6)(3)(5) The cold cause them to seeze up, making the Flitch!
Freeze: (6)(3) That's not the only thing it managed to do! Beautifly is now Frozen!

The venomous constrictor let out a triumphant *Hiiiiisss!* his gelid chomp froze that damn butterfly to the core, extremely pleased to have gotten his vengeance on the monsterous thing at last! The molewomen, however, decided to just hit them with jagged rocks again, as the sooner the thing is down and out, the better!

Stone Edge 2
(6) Hit!
(4)(4) The Beautifly, suffering from multiple painful bruises, gapping wounds, and a nasty cold, crashes straight into the ground,  stiff and unmoving.

A few tense moments passed as the dust finally settles. The Vampire's drones have been defeated. They have survived the grueling battle against them. They made it....

....but why did it still feel like they were in danger?

Moments later, you find out why.

Angry screeching unlike anything you heard before ripped through the area, almost causing your very ears to start to bleed, coincided with a burst of light from over yonder. That must be were Arial and the Vampire was at. Then, Silence. Not just any silence, however.

This quiet was filled with WRATH.

An awful, uncanny, not right presence came to your empathetic senses, causing you and Mew's head to snap in the direction these weird feelings were coming from.

A big, BIG creature was flying through the air.

A big, RED, MONSTEROUS insect straight out of HP Lovecraft.

Something that was not meant to BE in this world.

A monster without peer, who's very might rivals that of this world Legends and Myths

It was....
BUZZWOLE

And he's coming STRAIGHT FOR YOU.

'Re-reiner, its THEM! BUZZWOLE! The Vampire is no longer playing around, she means business! We have to get ready to face them FAST, or we'll end up pounded into the dirt by that hulking abomination! We have to survive, and put a stop to both those menaces once and for all! Let's do this, partner!' said Mew, bracing herself for her to finally do her part in the battle. Legendary vs Ultra Beast; who would come out on top? For your shake, better hope its the divine feline!

Your not nearly as monsterous  snake wisely decided to head by your earlier advice and used Coil, raising their STR, Defense, and Accuracy by 1! They were supposed to be the terror of the night, and he was not going to let another bug strip him of that title!

You have time to heal any two of your Pokémon or Angelica's Pokémon and send out replacements, time to heal just one and loots Petrel's body for whatever supplies he has on hand, (+ Replacements) or heal one Pokémon while having them all buff themselves even more (Including the replacements you send out). Initiative will be reset once they arrive.

Choice wisely.

For Buzzwole comes, and they take no prisoners.

[Dragonstrike]

Also in the direction of that big bug was a...beam of electricity?  Reiner's quick to try and figure out what the best course of action here is...

- The Vampire was in that direction, no question.  Which means Arial is probably over there too.

- Buzzwole was coming, though.

- Arbok was heavily wounded and can't be healed with potions even though Heal Block has worn off thanks to the Full Restore he'd used earlier today...

- Felicia, Weavile, Shiinotic, Blissey, 'Looker' and his pokemon...all down.

- Mew, A-Dugtrio, Angelica...all pretty heavily wounded, but able to be healed.

- Reiner was also out of Revives of all kinds, and there was no time to order more revival items now.

This wasn't entirely hopeless, though.  Not by a long shot.

Reiner's still got a couple of aces up his sleeve.

Kyubi's still unharmed, after all.  And Reiner's still got a couple more pokemon that could nail this big bug with something nasty.

And there's still one more healer in the group...

"Arbok, get over to where Emily is for now!  Emily!  Get your Wigglytuff to use Heal Pulse a few times and get Arbok up to snuff!  He needs to be in top form for this, and I can't heal him any other way right now!"

"Angelica, get your Dugtrio to use Rototiller!  And if she knows Memento, you might want to be prepared to use it! Like it or not, it seems I'm going to have to face Buzzwole alone for the most part, and the more we can cripple it, the better."

Reiner uses two Super Potions and an X Speed on Mew to get her fully healed and ready to fight!  He's a whirl of motion as he recalls the KOed cats and sends out new pokemon in their place!  Breloom, Yang, and Kingdra, in fact!

"Breloom, you've got one job right now: Keep that big, red, muscular bug that's about to arrive asleep.  You see that woman lying dead on the ground over there?  She was killed by that bug's trainer, and I aim to teach her killer a lesson.  And once it's asleep, I want it Confused as well so it's as crippled as we can manage.  To help ya out with that, ya get an X Speed.

"Yang, Kingdra, get yourselves buffed!  Dragon Dance, Focus Energy, and Rain Dance!  I want full power from the both of you!  You also get an X Defense, Kingdra!

"Kyubi, make sure you're prepared as well!"

Reiner also grabs something from his bag real quick: the gemstone that Weavile's Ice Gem had turned into.

It was time to face another massively powerful pokemon in a 4v1.  Except this one wasn't likely to hold back...
