Anything Goes

First topic message reminder :

Dark.... dark and deep.  Sova looked down into the crevice; it was deeper than he'd remembered it being.  It was very steep from this end, and he didn't see a safer path within a reasonable distance.  Time was of the essence here, so he didn't have much choice but to just deal with the dangerous terrain.  Besides.... he had no right to complain after what he'd done.  At least he had someone with him who would have no problems in this terrain; Mirage.  She could see in the dark fairly well and she'd already been here before.... they'd both been here before.  He would have loved to bring more than just one ally, but honestly, there was no one he trusted more than Mirage to have his back.  Varda was an airhead, Acro was unstable, Jak.... knew his secret, but was far too short-tempered to be reliable.

Then again, he wasn't one to judge for the mental issues of others.... and Mirage wasn't currently much better than Acro at the moment in terms of instability.  But!  Mirage had never shut down in the middle of a fight before, and that mattered dearly here.  If he'd brought someone with him who couldn't handle themselves properly in a fight.... he didn't want to think about the consequences.  He needed someone he could trust entirely as well.  This was why Varda couldn't come, Jak couldn't come, Acro, William, Skylar, Keith, Dusk, Aku, Leif, Linus, ....  Mirage was the only soul he knew who he could trust in a fight as well as trust on a personal level.  No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of anyone to take Mirage's place in this.

What he had to do.... he still wasn't quite sure about it himself.  After making the situation of the world worse and putting the lives of the group he was with in danger in the Ruined Chateau, he'd come to learn a bit more about the situation.  There was a war brewing, and it was one he doubted someone as insignificant as himself could be very useful in.  It was a war among legends.  Literal legends.  "Prophets" had cropped up, each with a different vision for the future, and their words had spread like wildfire.  There was the "holy" side, supposedly fighting for Arceus Almighty, which.... he was still having trouble believing.  There was a side fighting for a creature he'd actually had to research to even find myths about, "Zygarde."

Then.... there were those fighting for what he preferred to call.... evil.  This one, he knew for certain was true; Giratina led this side.  They wanted to drag the world further into darkness and rid it of rules.  That was all he knew about it for the time-being, but it was enough to know he had to stop it.  He'd already unintentionally recruited someone to this side; a being whom, after even more research, he found to go by the name of "Darkrai."  Now there were cryptic riddles being issued to each side.... and from what he could tell, it was a recruitment search.  This particular bit of instruction that he was currently following was - if he had understood it correctly - to go hunt down some creature of immeasurable power that lived in the Obsidian Rift and convince it to join the cause.  His intention wasn't quite to follow this through, though....

He'd come fully intending to kill it.

He didn't trust himself to work for either of the other sides, with their peace missions....  All he was good at was fighting, so he was going to use his skill to try and set Giratina back, rather than pointlessly struggling in an attempt to help either of the other two sides.  He didn't care which among the two won, as long as this side was out of the equation.

"Thanks.... for coming with me," he spoke up as he stared down into the massive hole he was about to enter.
His eyes looked as if they wanted to close and he was forcing them open.  The nightmares.... they'd gotten worse.  He was tired.  His voice was quiet and strained, as if he didn't want to speak, or something was bothering him.  Both were true.  He was just.... staring down into the crevice; at this point, he didn't even realize it.  His mind was so caught up in thinking about what he'd done wrong that he was just standing there, staring at nothing.

Brave little charmander, eh? Well, as long as the guy knew the risks, that was all that mattered. Sova was already questioning his morality too much without having to worry about the life of someone he'd only met moments ago. He prepared to hop down yet another ledge, but the sudden sound of the charmander's voice made him stop. He followed the instruction to look up above him and saw.... an absol? Great, something with the potential to hurt him.... or, well, at least Mirage and the charmander. Uuh.... whatshisname....

He opened his mouth to speak, but Mirage was on top of the situation, blindly attacking the absol rather than talking to it. He didn't want to fight right now.... not unless he had to. This seemed like an unnecessary fight, and he wasn't sure he could mentally handle having to do anything morally gray right now. Then more creatures made themselves apparent in the form of voices; two sableye, and they seemed a bit more eager to fight than the absol. "W-wait...." he muttered, trying to think of something to say to stop a fight from breaking out, but more threats just kept appearing.
It was all happening so fast and he couldn't think of anything to stop it.

The glaceon began to feel lightheaded as he looked around, trying to get a count on how many.... enemies there were. He heard another voice and idly lifted his head up in the direction it was coming from to see.... the absol. What was it saying? He didn't know; his mind wasn't processing words very well at the moment. It was doing something.... but he couldn't think clearly enough to figure out what. He zoned out for just a moment, and when he snapped back into reality, he was laying on the ground against the wall of the crevice with his front paws pulled over his ears. He could barely hear anything at all and had no clue how he'd even ended up like this....

"Please stop...." he begged, though his voice was strained and hushed, as if it were difficult for him to speak.
He just wanted to get through this day without any unnecessary violence.... He had no clue what was even going on, as he was currently fading in an out of full consciousness. Had he maybe been attacked? Was that why he was on the ground? Was Mirage alright? Why couldn't everything just stop?

The skorupi, drapion, and sableye that had been affected by the Perish Song quickly fled upon the bellow of the beast that had been awoken by the song. The sableye that had not been affected cried out, "Where are you all going!? Come back!"

The meowstic slapped the sableye upside the head, "Fool! It woke up! We need to get out of here." The feline glared to the absol for a moment before beginning the climb up with the Sableye just behind her.  Another roar echoed through the crevice before a large purple beam of energy shot down upon the meowstic and sableye from above. The two pokemon were struck by the beam, and slammed into the ledge below. Their unconscious bodies remained limp as they were defeated in one hit from the beast.

The absol looked up, a cocky smirk upon her face as she spotted the Hydreigon swooping down from above. She knew exactly what she had done, and now it was time to leave the trespassers to her little fri-"AHHHHH!" she cried out as a Shadow Ball had interrupted her villainous thought process. She lifted a leg and pressed herself back against the wall as the shadow ball flew past her and into the air above before fading out. She looked back down to see a zoroark with a living candle on her back glaring up at her. The absol huffed, giving an annoyed look, "F*ck you too, sweeties, have fun with Big Boy." the absol spoke before taking off, disappearing as it utilized Quick Attack to get the hell out of there.

Mirage huffed, the absol fleeing after she attempted to get back at it for using such a move on her. Her eyes shifted to a bright purple light just to the side her eyes widenening as she registered it to be an attack and jumping blindly to the side to avoid the nasty attack. She dropped down a few feet before her claws caught onto a ledge. She could feel the wind rush down as the beast flew past them before taking a u-turn and flapping its feeble wings to rise to their level once more from the other side of the crevice.

"Sova we kind of need a nope button right now," she called out, meaning for the glaceon to use Blizzard in order to attack the dragon type. When she received no answer, she glanced to the glaceon to find that he seemed to be in a bit of an emotional uproar with himself. Shit.

Garnet cried out as the Zoroark's sudden movements nearly threw him off. He clung to the hair of the zoroark as she clawed her way over to the glaceon. He looked down, the deep abyss below him with no ledges to even stop his fall. Well this was pleasant. He cried out as his tail was suddenly grabbed, being thrown over to the glaceon. He latched onto the rock for dear life, nearly colliding with the glaceon.

"Wait there." Mirage huffed to the charmander. She didn't have time to console Sova right then, the hydreigon was powering up another beam, and she was not quite sure who it was aiming at. The zoroark released her grip and dropped down to ledge that was below the two, she needed a way to get the dragon's attention. Luckily for her, she happened to have packed an attention orb. She brought out the orb and smashed it against the wall next to her, a bright light emitting from the orb and forcing the dragon's attention on her. The dragon's gaze glared down at her, before giving a roar as it reared back its head and attempted to blast the zoroark just like it had with the previous two. The zoroark successfully managed to jump to the side at the last second, landing at another ledge. The stream of energy continued, following her and chasing after her as it left a trail of destruction etched into the side of the crevice.

Garnet looked to the creature and then to Mirage, peering over the edge before rushing over to Sova leaning down on his hands and legs to talk to the glaceon face to face, "Hey buddy, wakey wakey time, your girlfriend's in trouble," he spoke. If the glaceon did not respond he would give the glaceon a gentle slap and repeat what he said in a more urgent and louder tone.

Sova's vision was alternating between being blocked out by his eyelids and.... almost blurry. It was almost like watching through someone else's eyes; he didn't really feel all "there," as if he wasn't.... him. Blinking felt odd and slow, and in fact, everything felt slow at the moment. He couldn't really hear anything other than a ringing.... and then suddenly, he could hear everything. He looked down to see his paws were no longer covering his ears, yet.... he hadn't moved them.

Loud noise. Roaring.... Screaming? Everything sounded so.... distant. Words weren't really registering properly, so he still wasn't sure what was going on. Someone speaking.... Mirage? No, female, but not Mirage. The other voice that he'd heard earlier. Then Mirage, saying.... something that made his heart race for some reason. He couldn't make out the words, but he for some reason felt a sense of urgency upon hearing them. He needed to do something.... but what?

Sova began to fade out of consciousness once more, all of his senses being cut off from him almost as if he were passing out. And so, he was left with only his thoughts and emotions. What he felt was.... just sadness. Disappointment, helplessness, hopelessness. Maybe he had passed out, and.... that was okay. That just meant he didn't have to deal with whatever was happening; it wasn't his problem if he wasn't awake. In fact, maybe he could just sleep the rest of his life away, that way he didn't have to worry about anything ever again.

....Then he began to feel.... something else. Something else that made his heart race. Anger.... hate? Whatever it was, it made the sadness look desirable in comparison. It was such an overwhelming feeling that he could no longer think at all and he couldn't recognize any other feelings. It felt.... like.... burning. Emotional burning. An indescribable pain, one that did not physically exist yet felt so very real. Having to deal with whatever this was for any extended period of time would surely drive him to complete insanity.

Then it was over. His hearing and vision suddenly returned to him, and.... he was.... higher up than he'd remembered. He looked down to see he was standing, and the charmander was in front of him. When had this happened? He could feel.... a slight smile on his face, as if he'd been happy about something, but.... he hadn't even been here to be happy! And what he could recall was most certainly NOT happy! His facial expression turned to a shocked, open-mouthed frown as he came back to reality. He lifted one of his front paws and just stared at it, not making any attempt at responding to the charmander as he wasn't even consciously aware he'd been spoken to.

What was happening to him? He was doing things without realizing it, moving without trying to.... or at least this was what he thought was happening. But he could barely think at all, let alone coherently. He could hardly remember what'd even happened ten seconds ago, his heart was still racing, he felt panicked and he didn't know why.... "S-stop...." he pleaded once more, though this time it was to himself.
He wanted whatever was happening to just STOP!

The glaceon had requested for him to stop. The charmander stared as the glaceon seemed to be going through some kind of mental breakdown. What the hell was going on with him?

The beam of energy finally ceased as the dragon needed to take a breather after using the attack for so long. It reared its head as it prepared another attack as Mirage found a good place to stand her ground for a brief moment. The zoroark swiftly latched herself onto the ledge, digging her claws into it as a dark energy collected around her. The Zoroark found difficulty in what she was attempting to do, which was throw a Night Daze attack in the direction of the Hydreigon. She usually just slammed her arms around and created a shock wave, but the creature was too far for her to do anything but chuck Shadow Balls that were proving ineffective.

The dark matter collected around her claws before suddenly shooting out towards the hydreigon in a sloppy and uncontrolled beam of energy. The hydreigon smirked and sot forth its own pulse of power, sending the attack directly into her own and breaking through it. Mirage could feel a sense of dread creep over her as the beam slammed her into the wall with no time to react. The zoroark managed to pull herself out of the attack and flee with the trail of destruction behind her once more as the beam followed her. She was going lower and lower into the crevice, farther and farther away from the glaceon and the charmander. Her body was feeling significantly weaker after that single attack, and the melody from before was still ringing in her ears as if to taunt her.

The zoroark and the hydreigon had disappeared into the darkness, out of the range of Garnet's light. He could only see the stream of energy from the hydreigon occasionally along with dark shapes moving across the crevice as Mirage used her dark type attacks in vain. His tiny claws curled into a fist as he looked back to Sova. What happened to that cool dude? The charmander glared at the glaceon, holding out one arm to his side as his tiny claws began to glow. With all the strength he could put together, the charmander attempted to give the glaceon a good wake up call with Scratch attack. He doubted it would do that much considering it was such a pathetic attack, but maybe it would give the glaceon a wake up call.

Sova's vision seemed to tunnel in on his paw as he stared at it.  Nothing else mattered; his paw was the most important thing in the world right now.  There was noise, and he could hear it clearly again, but he still wasn't paying much mind to it.  As he stared idly at his paw, the feeling he could only describe as burning returned.  However, this time he was still.... there.  He felt something touch his face, and it was forceful enough to make his head move slightly, but it didn't really hurt much.  He looked at the source to see the charmander still standing there, looking angry.  The charmander had hit him?

"I.... don't like this," was all he could think to say.
He for some reason expected the charmander to know he was talking about the agonizing feeling he was experiencing.  It was.... sort of numbing, in that he couldn't think well due to it.  Then again, there were a lot of reasons he couldn't think well right now.  He just wanted this to stop already, so that he could get back to.... whatever he was supposed to do here!  Why had the living lantern hit him?  Was it out of some desire to hurt him?  Why did everything always seem to want to hurt him in one way or another!?

He looked up, expecting to see the absol there, but she'd left.  Had he just imagined that?  He was trying to piece together what was happening, but he wasn't quite sure if any of what'd just happened was even real.  Had the absol never really been there in the first place?  He looked over to the ledge where Mirage was to maybe question her, but.... she wasn't there.  Mirage was gone, where had Mirage gone, what had happened to her!?  "W-where.... where's...." he muttered, though not to anyone in particular.
He just wanted an answer.  He wanted someone to read his mind and tell him where Mirage was.

Farther, she needed to go farther. The zoroark hurled herself from ledge to ledge, sometimes resorting to blindly throwing herself forward in order to keep ahead of the Hydreigon that chased after her. She had put quite some distance between the duo and the dragon that terrorized the group all because it was grouchy about having been woken up. The fox turned to attempt to attack the Hydreigon once more as it took a break, blasting a more successful and controlled Night Daze at the opposing dark type. The hydreigon was struck by it, causing the beam of energy to miss her by inches and destroy the rock she had been using as a foothold. The boulders crumbled beneath the energy as she leaped to safer ground.

The hydreigon made the mistake of getting closer, enraged by the fox and desiring to hit her personally. The zoroark's claws glowed as it neared, catapulting herself off the wall as she collided with the monster. She ripped and tore at the creature, trying to do as much damage to as she could. She hoped that it would give up and go away, decide that all of this damage was not worth it. However she could not do much to the creature, and was instead grabbed by one of its mouth hands and thrown back at the rocky wall.

The dragon gave a bellow as it charged up another beam of energy as Mirage struggled to find some place for her to stand and move easily from. She finally found a large platform of a boulder, with a safe looking area nearby. She could sit there until it was about to launch the attack and leap away! She landed on the ground, and as if to taunt her a strange mist surrounded her as musical notes of energy popped up and surrounded her as the beast swung its head downwards towards the zoroark for the laser of energy. Her eyes widened, "Shi-"

-

He seemed to have finally gotten the glaceon's attention, "Your. Girlfriend. Is. In. Danger!" the charmander attempted to convey to the glaceon as clearly as he could while he still had the glaceon's attention. He pointed in the direction of the fight with an angered look on his face, he took a breath to say something but was interrupted. A long earsplitting shriek echoed through the crevice, a feminine one that was followed by a eerie deep laughter that Garnet could register as one of triumph. "I mean...was...in danger..." Garnet spoke softly.

Oh, how he wanted the burning to stop.  The feeling inside like he was about to lose his mind at any moment.... he couldn't handle whatever this was.  The charmander was speaking again.... oh, the charmander had already spoken once, or at least he thought he remembered hearing the voice moments ago.  This time the voice said.... his.... girlfriend was in........ girlfriend?  Wait, danger?  Mirage was in danger?  This thought lingered in his mind as he struggled to comprehend it, but unlike most of what was happening, it didn't just slip away.  This one.... he kept this thought close.


The glaceon's eyes widened and the burning sensation in inside of him intensified.  It was like an extreme wake-up call; he could suddenly think clearly.  The absol had used Perish Song, a hydreigon had woken up.... these were two very big reasons why Mirage would be in danger.  The charmander implying Mirage was now dead just made him dizzy from sheer panic.  His breathing was shaky, he looked frantically over the edge in an attempt to see downward into the darkness....  There was nothing.

He rushed over to the living lantern and bit onto its arm - not quite hard enough to cause any real injury, but hard enough to keep a tight grip - then pulled the little lizard along as he leaped carelessly off the ledge.  He didn't care how far down he had to go, how dangerous it was, or how he was putting his new lizard-friend's life in danger!  He didn't care, he didn't care about anything, nothing except helping Mirage!!  Not even his own safety mattered, not even in the slightest!  Freezing wind began to swirl around him, following his descent.... despite him not really actively trying to conjure a blizzard.  At least, he hadn't planned to do it yet.

The hydreigon came into view and the freezing winds instantly changed their direction to blow him onto a nearby ledge.  He instantly tossed the charmander to the ground, rather than carefully setting him down.  There were more important things to worry about right now than such courtesies.  He surveyed the area, and.... okay, more like frantically looked around, but there was no sign of Mirage.  He didn't know where to look, but he couldn't find his friend anywhere!  Where....  "M-mi....mir...." he spoke in a stutter-y voice, trying his best to call out for his dear friend.

Not that he could....  He could feel something cold and wet on his face....  He was crying?  His tears were.... cold?  His body temperature was already dropping as if in preparation for a fight.... and this feeling inside....  He looked to the dark creature and it felt as if there was a big target painted on it, beckoning him to.... end it.  "You.... killed the wrong one...." he spoke clearly through his shaking voice.
It sounded as if he couldn't find the right emotion to show, and in truth, he couldn't.  He didn't know what to feel.  He didn't know what to think.  All he knew was that right now, he needed to do the one thing he was good at....

No....

He didn't need to.  He.... wanted to.

The glaceon suddenly broke into a speed that was utterly impossible for the hydreigon to follow, leaving behind an afterimage in his wake.  The creature stared at the slowly fading image for a moment before finally realizing it wasn't the real thing just a moment later, and a moment too late.  The feeling of freezing spikes slamming into it suddenly sent it reeling backward through the air.  It took in a breath in preparation for a counter-attack, but the glaceon pushed off of it and disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind another afterimage in front of it.  In a rage, it roared, winds beginning to blow behind it as it did so.  The wind seemed to come from nowhere and blow in whatever direction it faced or moved.

The glaceon landed on another ledge before speaking up: "You should have gone for me first...."
With that, he darted off the ledge and leaped at the hydreigon once more.  Again, he slammed into it, but this time, he began blowing painful icy mist in its face rather than jumping off of it.  Suddenly, a massive ball of fire erupted from the dragon's maw and ripped right through the mist, burning through the glaceon's icy quills and into his skin.  He bit onto the fur of the creature as he began to feel weak, like he might fall.  But.... he couldn't fall, not yet, not while this thing was still living!  He pushed off of it once more, this time propelling himself more upward than backward.

"You think this matters!?" he shouted at the top of his lungs as blizzard winds began to swirl around him once more.
The wind spun downward in a vicious, tight funnel around him, sending him back down into the hydreigon at a far faster speed than he would have had otherwise.  His burnt fur froze back over like nothing had happened and he slammed into the hydreigon once more.  Its entire body began to glow as it grabbed the glaceon and pried him off of it with its hand-mouths.  It tossed him into the air and slammed its two "hands" into him, sending him flying toward a wall with the vicious force of Giga Impact.

Sova.... S.S.... whatever he was, the sounds of the attack breaking through his icy quills were audible, but he was not visibly fazed.  Oh, yes, he was hurt by this, but it didn't matter!  He spun around in the air with the help of the wind he was controlling and managed to point his paws toward the wall of the crevice just as he slammed into it.  His landing against the wall was very hard, but rather than being fazed, he pushed himself off the wall, leaving an afterimage behind.  He slammed right back into the dragon in its weakened and vulnerable state, sending it backward into a rather large ledge and screaming at it as he did so: "You think my safety matters!?"

The hydreigon struggled to get up, but a sudden rush of wind freezing in its direction that was strong enough to force its own Tailwind into submission knocked it backward.  Before it could land on the ground, however, it felt the ice-spiked glaceon slam into its back along with another powerful gust of wind.  This send it back down to the ground long enough for the fox to speak.  "My life.... MEANS NOTHING WITHOUT HER!!" he screamed as he bolted into the creature once more.
The wind lifted it up off the ground just enough for him to ram into its chest, and he hit it hard enough to take its breath away.

Once more, the glaceon faded into the darkness, and the afterimages were starting to become an issue.  Every time he stopped for even a moment, he would leave behind another image when he vanished once more.  They were slowly fading, but he was making more fast enough for them to slowly add up.  Which one was the real-

The hydreigon's desperate search for the real glaceon was interrupted as more of the icy mist from earlier surrounded it, burning it due to the freezing temperature.  It roared once more and struggled to get up, only to find the glaceon suddenly right in front of it.  He spun and pulled himself into a backward cartwheel, slamming his tail into the hydreigon's belly and pulling it all the way up toward the creature's neck before finishing the cartwheel and landing about a foot away.  He'd turn through the dragon's fur and scales, leaving marks that were beginning to bleed.... but that wasn't the end of it.

Suddenly, just as his attack finished, a vicious gust of wind blew upward and foward, almost like a wind slash of sorts, sending the hydreigon flying backward into the wall.

"My life holds no meaning...." he began.
A smile had crossed his face, and he could feel it....  He could feel the burning, begging for this like it would somehow be sated if he did this!  He noticed the smile and wasn't quite sure why he was smiling, but he didn't care!  He could still feel himself crying at the same time, and he knew it was weird to be both smiling and crying at the same time, but he JUST DIDN'T CARE!!  He took in a shaky breath before continuing his short speech: "....Other than to end yours."

The dragon struggled to pull itself up against the wall, flapping its wings and trying to find something to grab onto with its two hand-like mouths.  Freezing wind began to swirl around the glaceon and ice collected within it, turning into a miniature and very controlled blizzard.  He leaned back so far it appeared he was about to fall and used every ounce of breath he had to blow a thick, freezing fog at the dragon.  He could hear it roar in pain.  Without missing a single beat, he then darted forward, straight into the hydreigon.  The freezing wind and snow followed him and slammed into the creature alone with him, and the resulting cloud of white along with the low light granted only by the charmander shrouded the two from view.

Maniacal giggling ensued before the fog of cold death even managed to clear.  The glaceon's voice, giggling like something hilarious had just happened.  Then.... the giggling suddenly stopped.  The ice finally cleared enough to reveal the two, and what was revealed was the glaceon standing in front of the wall, shivering and stumbling uncontrollably, trying to stop himself from laughing.  The hydreigon was in front of him, pinned against the wall and frozen to it with ice that was patterned almost like a web.  There was no movement from it.... no signs of it breaking free or even signs of it being animate.

"Mirage....?" the glaceon struggled to get out, then started giggling once more.
He couldn't stop himself, it was just.... just so funny....  "Please don't leave me...." he muttered out into the darkness between his maniacal noises.

He was simply staring into the darkness when a mouth suddenly clamped down on his arm. Garnet cried out as he was suddenly dragged forward. He found himself being dragged along with the Glaceon, slamming into the ground and wall as the glaceon rushed to catch up with the battling duo. The charmander was then dumped at a ledge as they traversed down quite a ways. The charmander cried out as he was practically thrown. That was quite a rough ride, one the charmander did not quite appreciate. He forced himself up onto his rump, rubbing his poor head as he looked up to see what was going on.

Sova was battling the hydreigon one on one...no, this was not a battle. It appeared to be more of a slaughter to the little lizard as he gazed upon the murder of the murderer. He did not seem to be phased by all of this violence, watching as if he were no where near the danger. His tail providing light for the glaceon to see the hydreigon, as the stupid brute never thought to leave or snuff out the light, plunging the ice type into darkness. The manical laughter started as the icy mist cleared itself, Garnet spying the glaceon trying to walk about while giggling like a stupid idiot.

Well...he had issues.

Garnet blinked, though he did not seem to be horrified in any way...in fact...that was kinda cool. Like, really cool. He wanted to be like that! Well, less cackling like an idiot, but the sheer power and intolerance for pain was something he desired in order to protect his favorites and destroy the enemies. The glaceon called out for the zoroark, oh right. He had almost forgotten about her while watching the show. The charmander stood up, the bruises and marks causing pain that he ignored as he peered over the edge and allowed his tail to light up beneath them. He expected to see a never-ending abyss, however he was quite surprised to see a flat ground!

They were near the bottom! The charmander could not see the ground well however, so he decided to climb down. His claws found foot holds to cling to he made his way down. He gave a sigh of relief as his feet touched stable ground.  The charmander grabbed his tail, he forced it to flare and light up intensely as he searched the area. Garnet stopped as he spotted a mound of red not far off. Sparks of pure white energy sparked from the limp furry mound, leftovers energy of the attacks expelled itself.

"Hey! She's over here!" Garnet called to the glaceon, though he doubted she was alive. The lizard continued to hold onto his tail as he neared the mound. Hoo boy, she did not look too good. Teeth marks covered her fur from the dragon type, burns, and blood made itself known as the light illuminated the form. He was just beginning to wonder if he would have to help with digging a grave when he noticed something. Her flank rose and fell, ever so slowly and faintly.

"Hey! She's alive!" he called up to the glaceon with urgency.
