Nathan grips onto Kingdra firmly as the Lumineon circle around the group. Both of them stare at the barbed fish intently. Kingdra with nervous anticipation, Nathan with a calm, determined resolution.
"I've been in worse situations before, Kingdra. Just blast them as you see them with Dragon Pulse. I'll take care of any that get too close."
He readies the Sword, monitoring the predators' movements...
...and gives the order right before they strike, Badly Poisoning everyone's pokemon through Heart's Wide Guard (as WG does not provide immunity from status moves). "...NOW!" Nathan immediately uses an Antidote on Kingdra to cure the Toxic Poison.
This one time, Kingdra follows Nathan's lead, as the trainer is showing so much more confidence than the ruler of sky and sea. Nathan guides Kingdra's strikes, watching their six for any fish trying to sneak up behind them, their sides for enemies trying to flank them. Separate, they would fall. Together, they are strong.
Kingdra rotates like a turret in the center of the action, launching energy blast after energy blast at the tricky and evasive fish. One by one, they fall or flee, and with the assistance of Heart's Wide Guards and Sari's interceptions, Nathan thinks they have a good chance they might get out of this relatively unscathed after all. Any that do get close, he slashes at with the Sword, the blade parting the water like a hot knife slicing butter. Most of the Lumineon don't dare to get close to such a dangerous weapon.
But the final pair of Lumineon are bolder, and manage to find a gap in Heart's defenses. Everything goes just wrong enough that it quickly spirals out of control.
Sari, Kingdra, and Heart's pokemon are all too busy attacking other Lumineon to notice the craftiest pair slip by the Wide Guards.
Their sudden appearance in front of them immediately Confuses Kingdra, and Nathan has to act fast. He immediately uses a Persim Berry to cure Kingdra's Confusion before it becomes a problem. "Stay focused, Kingdra! We've got this!"
Kingdra, emboldened by the power of the Sword and Nathan's guidance, blasts one of the final two Lumineon with a point blank Dragon Pulse, blowing the fish back and causing them to spiral out of control until they collide with a clump of kelp that both cushions the collision and ensnares them.
The other Lumineon, however, darts behind Nathan while he's distracted with healing the winged seahorse.
Nathan doesn't see the barbed, frilly fish until it's right on top of him.
He tries to raise the Sword to deflect the coming blow, but even he can't react that quickly...
...and then mere moments later, Terra gets stung, and the incredibly powerful Poison can clearly be seen taking its toll.
"Terra!"
Nathan doesn't think. He just reacts.
*schwing!*
...
...
...
Moments later, the Lumineon have all either scattered or fainted.
...or in the case of the final Lumineon, is laying on the seafloor, barely conscious and in immense pain. A long, deep gash cutting across their side, one of their frilly fins torn and rendered practically unusable.
Nathan's breathing heavily as he tries to process what happened. The Lumineon, they...and Terra just...and he...he...
...
Nathan briefly turns his gaze to the blade of the Sword, then back at the Lumineon.
The blade's bloody. And it looks like Lumineon's blood, too. "...oh no...no no no no...I...I didn't mean for that to..."
Did he really...?
Nathan stares at the bloodied blade a moment longer, breathing hard...
He looks at Terra, who also seems a bit winded, but...mostly seems fine, otherwise? Maybe?
...Nathan decides to check on Lumineon first. He swims over to them and looks at the wound...
...he's not sure he can treat it. Not underwater.
So he does the only thing he can think to do that might help in this situation.
He gets out an Ultra Ball. If he catches Lumineon, the Pokemon Center can get them proper treatment for that wound much more quickly than he would be able to. He just hopes that there's enough time to save them...
The only question is: how many tries does it take Nathan to capture this fish and get them treatment for his mistake, @Iron?
