[Lord Windos]

Earth Guardians Round 1 cont

(...) As Cottonee falls out of the air, the female Gliscor grabs Cottonee and deposits her safely on the Metagross.

(...) Ventus, with his keen eye for revenge, notices that Gliscor is very careful not to strike at any vital body parts: it's a nonlethal attack. But it is a critical hit.

(...) Lucifer begins to fall and unlike the Gliscor, Beartic pays no mind to this danger.

(...) Heart throws a Pokeball excitedly! When it reaches Kabutops, though, it flashes red without sucking him in, and lands in the snow without having attempted a capture. That can mean only one thing: Kabutops is already registered. (This does not normally expend the Pokeball).

(...) Lucifer takes 1 dmg and faints.

Earth Guardians Round 2

All that needs to happen is dealing 1 damage to a Gliscor!

Even with the breakneck pace and CHAOS that all battles tend to descend into and low visibility brought upon by night + Sandstorm, Ventus Insightful natural, powerful empathy and sharp eyes let keep up with everything that was happening and react as appropriate. Contrary to his expectectations and to his great surprise, it seemed that some of these Pokémon were not apparently out to take life and limb of everyone here, with the Gliscor in particular being EXTREMELY magnanimous despite being the aggressor(s) in battle. Intitially this greatly confused the researcher (greatly diminishing his wrath over being Ambushed in the process), as he knew from both his education and hands on/field experience that wild Pokémon rarely afforded mercy/kindness towards foes. Heart's failed capture attempt and Kabutops and their warning caused the empath's eyes to widen at the revelation: these Pokémon were being commanded by someone or THING.

'What in Reshirim's name, something is commanding and coordinating the offensive defense of this viscous mob?! Does that mean their are more unseen guardians waiting to repulse us, or their is a diabolical force that is trying to prevent us from accomplishing our task? Gragh, we do not need these unforeseen difficulties standing in our way, especially when we are so close to achieving our goal! Rain, Hail, or raging Sandstorm, I will NOT let who or WHAT ever get away unmolested  for this trepass against us all!!!' Ventus furiously thought to himself, swift to recall Lucifer when the combination of the raging sands and frigid assault nearly cut their flight short as they were KOed, which caused him to level a withering glare at the rather cold hearted Bearartic partially responsible for this. Oh, he's going to have some nice, quality time with them to express just how much he appreciates their frigid action once the battle was concluded.....

That was neither here nor there, of course. He and Raphael (who had blessidly remained unharmed for the most part) still had enemies to wage war against their opponents, though fortunately their was only a heavily wounded Gliscor remaining to focus on. Which the archangel did so with Extreme Speed and prejudice, not needing to be ordered to know that their master wanted the scropiobat wings clipped pronto!

Order: Raphael will just focus on doing one Extreme Speed on the wounded Gliscor, for both maximum hit chance, Crit chance, AND to prevent it from getting off any checky moves like Knock Off or Gullotine. Time to black out, bat!
