If I wanted to escape without you, I could already be far away
from this place! Stand back! Gardevoir then used Focus
Blast. I ask again: should I free the Lairon, or not? Diancie
asked.
I already told you; my name is Diancie! Diancie began to
charge a red sphere of energy between her hands. Lairon, please
stand back as well.
Ferrugo nodded, and jumped down into her hole.
Servine, listen to me! I said to stand back!! Gardevoir
said, quite irritated.
Diancie put the sphere to her side, and then quickly pushed it
forward, sending a shock wave of red energy around it as it
exploded into a white beam of light, completely obliterating the
bars trapping Ferrugo. She then crackled with red electricity as
she needed to recharge energy.
Following Diancie's lead, Gardevoir flung the orange sphere of
light at Servine's cell, freeing her as it exploded into a huge
blast of energy.
Gardevoir facepalmed. I did tell you to stand back...
Ferrugo crawled out of her hole when the smoke from the two
explosions had cleared. "Thank you so much!" she said excitedly.
(From this point onward, Diancie's moveset will be based loosely on
that of Carbink, in addition to the moves she has been confirmed to
learn.)
Diancie began to glow red, as did one of the opposing Aggron. The
red glows quickly formed two bolts of energy, Diancie's far smaller
than Aggron's, which shot from each of them to the other. Meeting
in the middle, they formed a large, red sphere. The sphere formed
two more bolts of energy, this time perfectly equal in size, and
returned to Diancie and the Aggron. "That would be Power Swap, in
case you're wondering. You'll find that my Attack is way higher,
and yours way lower."
Gardevoir used Focus Blast on Steel.
Not expecting such agility, Gardevoir failed to avoid the attack,
and the move was a critical hit. Gardevoir staggered back, having
trouble standing up.
(Diancie isn't going to attack until we have agreed on a finalized
temporary move list for her, as the moves that have already been
revealed for her would all be terrible choices against Aggron.)
Just before the attack landed, Diancie used Power Split on Steel,
slightly weakening his attack and increasing her own ability to do
damage.
Even so, Gardevoir was knocked back when Steel hit him with the
move, and crashed into a wall, knocking him out.
Diancie counterattacked with a Focus Blast, aimed straight at
Steel.
Ferrugo used Superpower on another of the Aggron.
Diancie yelped as the doubly super-effective move struck her. She
was flung backwards, and barely hung on even with her astronomical
Defense stat. "Reflect and Light Screen!!" She quickly erected a
barrier of blue light, and another barrier in front of it made of
gold light. These barriers expanded quickly, and in a flash of
light, adjusted themselves to form three spheres - one around
Ferrugo, one around Servine, and one around Diancie - each.
