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 both 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?"

Indeed the psychic feline do net the KO, but Ran doesn't give one damn about that, barking off frenetic guffahs that perfectly pairs with his Mega Fiend's wicked, mocking cackles and the hysterically elated giggles of the smol siren as the super-massive carp dragon dramatically flopped. Every one of the little guys are in the throws of crazed laughter at somehow beating a Super Dark Gyarados flawlessly, and NOTHING could diminish the sheer joy and relief of that achievement. Not even from getting drenched by the aftermath of it's Fainting - though it did stop all but Selkid's giggling as Ran and Diam were forced to hack out some water!

Paying no mind to Espeon's momentary departure, he rushes over to scoop up and hug his two partners, a great big grin on his as he started laughing in near estacy from them from that ordeal unscathed and with such APLOMB.

"Hahahahahaha! We did! We beat the snot and that darkness out of that small fry, and all with getting hurt once, hahahahahaha! A wonderful, brilliant, unparalleled victory! Diam, you're getting double diamond meals tonight, and you're going to be getting a few Leppa Berries treats yourself, little siren! Hahahaha, hahahaha! "

Yeah....Ran kinda loses it from how well things went for him. Diam's probably in a similar gleeful state with her getting a double helping of her favorite meal later, while the sea sprite....can't say exactly how she would react, but I suppose she'd be also happy but a bit overwhelmed by her master's exuberance.

The boy hero's hardly does anything to correct this fey mood of the midget miner's, as he turned to address them, still grin and laughing like a loon!

"Gottverdammt it was, lad, hahahahaha! Don't know, don't care, but I guess them two were corrupted by Darkness from what me, Diam, and that ginger lass saw! By what, I also don't know and care! All's that matters is that we survived, and me and mine own survived without that Gyarados touching us one bit with its Darkness powers, hahahahahaha!"

....He's going to be like that for awhile, unless Lucas wants to try snapping him out of it. They'll also probably want to check on how the O.H.W. and Scizors is doing, dragging along Ran if necessary.

Later on, Ran's going to attempt Capture at least one of the Gyarados (both of Lucas doesn't want to nab one), having them Poisoned and Burned by Brigid/Belladona and starting off with Pokeballs to catch it/them (He has 5 currently), moving onto Great Balls if he runs out of them (He has 4 of them)[/b]. Not only were they valuable fishies that would sell extremely well to the most daring of Fisherman/Collectors, but they could be researched before then to see what in the heck was going on with them potentially! Failing that, at least two vicious monsters would no longer plague the first Floor of Mt. Coronet, so it was a win - win for everyone, really!
