(Continuity? What continuity?)
(Seriously, minor details can easily be overlooked, and major continuity errors can be tweaked or reworked, such as this brilliant exchange between Windos and Spirit. This thread has already evolved well beyond what I ever imagined it would be -- which is a good thing, and it's really fun with everyone's inventive twists keeping us all on our toes -- so at this point, it's all about having fun and exercising our writing flexibility. Kinda reminds me of improv, in a way!)
*Jumps back as Xenoic fires off the rounds and uses my Styler to shield myself and Dramsama from the shock waves. It flings us both backward, but the Styler absorbs just enough energy to prevent Dramsama from fainting and to protect myself from broken bones (bruises, on the other hand, I'll probably have a few of those in the morning). The Styler goes down to critical energy; one more hit will shatter it. Regretfully, it doesn't have enough energy to protect the Duplicat, which faints after being hit with the Flamethrower.*
Dramsama: [I... I don't understand... nobody could possibly break free of my Illusion!]
*Takes stock of the situation and decides there's only one thing left at this point to do...*
*Grabs my lone PokeBall containing my Partner Pokemon* Go, Pajay!
*Pajay bursts out of the PokeBall. Before Xenoic can react, I grab Dramsama, jump on Pajay and we all swiftly fly away*
Dramsama: [That is your brilliant plan? Run away?]
I'm not running away, Dramsama. This is what's known as a 'tactical retreat'. I'll radio the other Rangers and have them try to apprehend Xenoic, but at this point... my Styler is almost out of energy, and I'm clearly outmatched by Xenoic right now. Look what he did with the Xenoqueen... if we continue facing off against him, we'll be putting Bealbeach's residents in further danger than we already have. Besides, we've found out already that he's just a client... whoever hired him to kidnap Chief Phantom -- that's who we need to be going after!
So I think it's best at this point to catch up to Spirit and Windos, and help them rescue Phantom. I can probably find a wild Kinetmunk or Harylect along the way to recharge my Styler...
(I updated the participant list in the opening post. There's still plenty of room for anyone to jump in, if they so prefer!)
(Also, anyone know what happened to our Fafurr??)
