Houndoom was hit by both dragon pulses. He snarled and held on
tighter, Kibo then glared at Houndoom and used an ice beam on his
own tail. He knew it'd hurt him, but it was the only way to get the
Houndoom off him. His tail had become frozen, and Houndoom lost his
grip. He fell to the ground and crashed in front of Toka.
"Because you're going to lose this battle." Soren said lowly, and
growled. He was going to continue on when Kibo landed on him, and
knocked him to the ground.
~*~*~
Tiger nodded, and looked thoughtful. "Maybe there's more on the
line than just our lives. I mean Johto is basically on the line
here, these people. They're way more dangerous than Rocket, and
Skull combined. That and we're more split up in this fight than we
were in the past." He said quietly.
"That makes no sense, necause you're stuck under a Dragonite. How
long are the lifespans of a bird? It doesn't matter. Sweet dreams,
Soren." Drew taunted.
Toka instantly pinned the houndoom down with a satisfied growl. She
charged another dragon pulse in case anyone was stupid enough to
come near her in her state of blind rage.
*~*~*~*
Mira nodded at that. "That must be it. Splitting up is still my
greatest fear when it comes to this group; you never know what
might happen when we're not together."
The Houndoom snarled, and glared at Toka angrily. He tried to break
free, but froze when he saw the rage in her eyes. He looked around
and noticed both Manetric and Ampharos had fainted.
Kibo snarled, and used a fire punch on Soren. The Electron leader
then screeched in shock and pain, and fell still, and was knocked
out. He had been defeated, and the battle had been won. Kibo jumped
off of Soren and snarled slightly, he made his way back to Toka
panting slightly. The door that had closed before the ambush was
opened.
~*~*~
Tiger nodded, "understandable, but look on the bright side. We're
almost done here. Koko is free, from the screech I heard, and all
we need now is to finish Soren off. We're close to winning." He
said reassuringly.
"Is he dead?" Drew asked. "I mean, the last words for such a fool
to hear would've been nice to be 'sweet dreams.' That made no
sense, but you know what I mean." She stepped back into the
doorway, recalling Abomasnow, Garchomp and Magmortar.
Toka lashed her tail and discharged the move before looking at
Kibo. "Are you alright?" She asked after taking a deep
breath. She still didn't exactly look calm, but it was a
definite improvement.
*~*~*~*
"Fingers crossed that there aren't any more surprises," Mira joked
slightly, blinking. "I really hope we're done, yeah."
Houndoom was knocked out by the final move. Kibo glanced at the
Houndoom before looking at Toka. He nodded, "I think my tail is
an icicle with the deepest bite marks in the whole world right now,
and my leg is burnt from that thunder punch, but I've had
worse." He said gently, ignoring the cold feeling on his tail.
He glanced at Drew and shook his head, "No the move was only
strong enough to knock him out. He'll be out for a couple
days." He grumbled quietly. He turned back to Toka, "are you
okay?" He asked gently, and placed a paw on her shoulder to
calm her down.
~*~*~
Tiger nodded in agreement and sighed before shuddering at the
memory of seeing only red during that fight. "You and I both." He
grumbled in agreement, and looked at the ground.
~*~*~
Cyndaquil looked up and went over to Jamie, he gave up on trying to
sleep, and climbed into Jamie's arms. He then nudged Jamie
reassuringly. "Don't worry everyone is alright." He said
gently.
Misty quickly translated what Kibo had said. Drew nodded. "Well. We
should... probably get out. Not just the room, but the building. I
can't feel my foot and I'm pretty sure I got my shoulder burnt in a
battle with a grunt." She said, her shoulder visible under singed
clothing.
Toka got off the houndoom and took a few deep breaths.
"Adrenaline rush. It's fine. I just didn't want you--or me, but
mostly you--to get hurt. Adrenaline." She explained.
"...Drew's right. Let's get out of here, find the others, get
your tail fixed..."
Kibo nodded, and grabbed Soren. He then returned Houndoom,
Ampharos, and Manetric, and placed them in Soren's bag. "I was
more worried about you getting hurt." He admitted to Toka
before sighing. "Yeah let's get back to the cellar." He said
gently, and nudged Toka. "We'll meet up with everyone there, and
get the heck out of here." He said gently, and went for the
door.
~*~*~
Tiger blinked, and looked like he was taken aback by the question.
"Huh? Yeah I'm just really tired." He lied slightly. He saw the
cellar nearby and sighed in relief.
Kibo walked back to the cellar, he stayed near Toka. He then
sighed, and gently shoved Robert to Drew as he noticed Drew was
limping. He smiled slyly, but continued on his way to the
cellar.
Cyndaquil nodded, and sat down, as Jamie pet him. He then caught
Tiger's scent as well as Mira's and the others. "They're
back!" He said gently, and smiled.
"Robert, Arceus, watch where you're going!" Drew stumbled on one
foot, balancing herself by putting a steady hand on the wall. Misty
snickered at Kibo. "Smooth."
Kibo blinked, and nodded in response to Misty. He then yawned and
grimaced at his frozen tail, he sighed. That's going to effect
my flying for a bit. He thought dully.
Cyndaquil nodded, and looked at Jamie. "Are you alright?" He
asked gently.
