The Battlefield

"Baaaat." The pokemon shouted as it flapped its wings reading an aura of sky blue it was going to use air cutter, though Rein did not call this attack out, it was aimed towards hera " Alright Let it go Use That air cutter to bring that monster bug down! We can focus on koffing after!" Rein Mused with a smirk Gol... Gol.. Baaaat! The bat screenhed as powerful waves of air that could slice through a wooden house were headed straight for the heracross using golbats sonar to locate it through the smog.

Allen didn't waste any time, knowing that it was his chance to keep Thing busy and out of Natalia's business. It seemed like most of them were down one Pokemon, but Allen was stuck on the catch up game. At the very least Beck was his second oldest Pokemon. Once the Shadow Sneak was on the Koffing he shouted "Toxic!"

With the Shuppet only another Pokemon's armwidth (Maybe a Mankey? Beck wasn't an expert on arms.) away, the Koffing spat out a glob of poison at Thing's face came in for the ghostly attak which did hit him. Beck was sent flying (Levitating?) back a bit, though he gained his figurative footing soon after. He was bulkier than Steve even if he didn't have her array of attack moves.

Thing tried to avoid the toxic goop Beck spit at it but with the close range it was impossible to do so. It got hit square in the face and cringed. ~Mortals are utterly disgusting.~ It said to itself, seemingly disgusted and utterly off-put by the attack. Beck might, for a brief instant, believe that Thing wasn't going to attack. And in that instant, the Shuppet would retaliate with a Sucker Punch. Where did the fist come from? Good question. It seemed to appear from the aether, cloaked in darkness as it attempted to drive Beck into the ground.

That confidence~~ Yes~~ More as you will Keiko~~ Rein mused as the golbat took the hit of a psychic attack Thus now Golbat itself was in no condition to fight any longer. Rein revealed its pokeball returning golbat for his last and final pokemon, Murkrow as a white flash of light the dark type mused with excitement waiting for its opponents move

Allen whelped as the Sucker Punch slammed into Beck, effectively putting his Koffing at half health after those two hits! He considered switching out in order to keep his bulkier Pokemon on reserve in case he needed to hold out but he decided against it. Zest could move fast enough even if she was more frail than he was. "Keep that defense up Beck, you're doing great. Use Clear Smog and chip away at their health!" he said. Beck let out a different smog attack that wiped away any changes that the Pokemon on the field may have made as well as replacing his initial poisonous gas with another poisonous gas. Variety! This one was lighter than Smog though and it'd still pack a punch!

Of course this would hurt Audrey as much as it would hurt Thing and Rein's Murkrow. "Sorry about that by the way," Allen said, nodding his head in her direction despite keeping his eyes glued to the battlefield. "Don't know much about those things, never went where you can find those. But uh, yeah. Sorry."

Without Odd every giving a command, Thing vanished from sight, though a small coughing sound could be heard as it continued to cough on the Clear Smog it had inhaled. That Toxic must be kicking in by now, too. Thing be the embodiment of malice but body could only take so much punishment. Probably wouldn't take much more to take it out, anyway. Regardless of the time frame, Thing would end his Phantom Force after several long, drawn out moments of anticipation, reappearing from the Otherworld in a small explosion of Ghost chi, pupping up right in front of Beck. Why not? That blasted pink thing beside it wouldn't be harmed by it's Ghost-type moves and those were all it, currently knew, save for one move.

Murkrow~~ Haze ~~The pokemon started to emit a dark fog from its body using it to cover the battlefield as it got back up from the clear smog,

While Thing gave Beck and Allen an opening while it spent some time in the Otherworld, the trainer decided to seize the opprotunity to have a chance to actually think. "Hold!" Allen made eyecontact with his Koffing for a split second. He wanted Beck to take the hit. They couldn't play easy, especially when this wasn't even Odd with his strongest Pokemon. Beck, Steve, and Zest were his though. So there was no holding back when they still hadn't managed to prove themselves in Snagem. Beck held still and took the hit. He trusted Allen.

The Phantom Force struck harder than Beck expected, but he didn't need to be Allen's channeling partner to know that his trainer had something up his sleeve. Sure he was on his last (not literal) leg now, but relief swept over whe he heard Allen's call once the attack made contact. "Now, Assurance!"

Dark celestial chi flooded Beck- Assurance's damage was doubled if the user had taken damage recently and Thing had more than made sure that he was within melee range. The Koffing swung forward after being pushed back from the Phantom Force and came in for a headbutt! Or.

Bodybutt?

And just like that, Thing went down like a feather. It didn't weigh enough to drop like a rock so i just slowly drifted to the floor, it's cloth body ruffling ever so delicately in the wind. "Alright, drama queen, I get it." Odd called, knowing full well that Thing could've kept going if it chose to.

~Silence, mortal, or I will devour your soul!~ Thing snapped back without ever breaking it's (fake) faint. It had decided after that last blow that it refused to be part of this anymore. That blasted attack from the poison balloon had actually hurt. Quite a bit more than it wanted to let on, in fact.

"Whatever. Sub, I need you to activate your Immunizer." He called to the onlooking Snagem leader, tossing him the last Joy Scent he had on his person. He'd wait until this was done before releasing his final Pokemon. "Entr'Acte!" He called out as he threw the Pokeball into the air. The instant it burst open, it's foul chi flooded the area; All the Pokemon on the battlefield would feel it as the darkened red energy formed into the shape of a sword and materialized into Odd's Shadow Honedge. Even the humans would probably sense the danger this creature exuded simply by existing in their presence. "We need to make this fast, either knock him own or let us win this." He warned Keiko and Allen.

Meanwhile the Murkrow was reading its dark pulse aiming it for beck Reins last pokemon no doubt his toughest one in that moment Through the haze covered battlefield in which Murkrows are known for its sneak attacks and perserverance."Well...Well... Down to my last pokemon I never expected this from Keiko or Allen. Tsk~~ Rein mused as murkrows dark void of a beam from its beak fired twoards beck through the haze upholding its trust in Rein.
