Gyarados Round 2

Espeon's the first to move!  Do they kill steal?  They crouch low again as their eyes glow with power...

Gyarados roars one last time as the feline deals the final blow!  It rears up in the air, and that black aura begins to rush out of its body and into the surrounding air!  Espeon merely sits there seemingly without a care in the world and that cocky smirk still on their face, but Diam, Randolph, and Selkid all have to brace themselves, lest they get blown away by the force of the air rushing around them!

Once the last of the black shadows have dissipated, Gyarados collapses, making a huge splash in the water as it does so!  Everyone's soaked!

And so, the sea serpent lays defeated, and its prey is completely untouched.  The surface of the water is still once more.

Espeon shakes off the water that's gotten stuck in its fur, and then turns around to go and check on its charge and let them know the fight's over.

Lucas has dealt with his Gyarados as well by this point, but he looks rather worse off by comparison when he walks over with his pokemon.  His Togekiss seems to have taken some heavy damage and is flying unsteadily, and his Porygon-Z is glitching the f@#$% out.  "...well, that was exciting.  What the hell was up with that Gyarados?  I've never seen anything like that before.  Every time those shadows manifested, my pokemon got decimated.  Was your Gyarados like that too, Randolph?  That black aura and weird, shadowy techniques?"
