Chapter 16: trapped
Tank:
I called back Ven since he is badly hurt and with Regirock on the we path, shooting us with zap cannon, it'll be hard to heal or counterattack without knowing when the attack is coming next. Dodging the attacks is hard enough but the injury from the start of the battle with Mars makes things harder. Regirock walked to the side and used ancient power to throw the rocks at us both, for Mars she really blocked and support used Salazzle to blast the incoming rocks with its tail or fire while I was having a hard time, falling over and holding Eevee close. I won't let her or any other Pokémon I look after get hurt. Umbreon came over and helped me run from the rock attacks. We have to get out of here, fighting in such an enclosed space makes things to difficult. I looked around for a weakness in the wall and told Umbreon "use your shadow ball on the wall over there" I pointed and Umbreon shot a shadow ball and made an exit. Even with an exit, Regirock was still attacks us. I put we've on Umbreons back and continued "you take Eevee out of here and I'll stay to fight" Umbreon was about to object but knew it was for her and not for myself. He took Eevee outside and waited for me while the battle was under way.
The dots are as follows, one due and poison type and one rock type. To have the type advantage of need a water for my chances of victory to be certain. I guess I'll have to try to win this without a water type so I throw a poke ball up and called out Spear and he flew as I said "use aerial ace" Spear flew fast and dodged are of the zap cannons and hit both Regirock and Salazzle with some damage to the Pokémon but as I wanted, little damage on Regirock. I closed my eyes while evading the attacks then everything around became for but a moment, silent. The experience of having many thoughts at once and what I should do became clear. I'm glad I sent Eevee and Umbreon outside where they won't see me battle seriously. I felt where my wind was and tied to see how bad it was, fortunately for me it was a bad muscle bruise. I called out my team, Ven, Rable, Dazzle and Bas.
I called out "Ven use synthesis, Rable use dragon claw on Regirock, Dazzle use spark on Salazzle and Bas use agility" been healed himself while Take provided cover and attacked Regirock with glowing claws and Dazzle attached onto Salazzle and shocked with an electric attack while Bas increased speed. Together we can achieve more and with both Salazzle damaged and Regirock matching the dragon claw with his ground attack bulldoze, hitting the claws with his earth shattering fists. Mars saw it was too much for her to handle with just Salazzle so she grinned and left, leaving Regirock and me to continue the fight. "Dazzle, use string shot and Ven use vine whip" Dazzle got Regirock caught in string to show him down and vines held him down as I got an ultra ball out to try to capture. With Regirock held down, I took the chance "Dazzle use X-scissor, Bas use metal claw and Tyrantrum use her smash" fake used it's pincers to slash with an X motion, Bas swing his arm to slam on the other side to Dazzle and Tyrantrum delivered huge damage by smashing his head engulfed in rock on Regirock. The Regirock was dazed from the attacks and I the my ultra ball at him, he went into the ultra ball and shock twice but burst out. He still had strength to resist capture so we just need to fight harder.
Regirock broke free and used ancient power to control the rocks in the ruins and sent them flying to me to my team. Attacking many at once it's a good idea so I counted with a good idea too "Ven use razor leaf and vine whip" Ven defended the team by slash the rocks in half and whipping them away quickly but Regirock used ancient power on the new pieces and continued the attack, this started a loop where he attacks and Ven defends, a battle of endurance. Looking closely at Regirock and got an idea. While Regirock was distracted I threw another ultra ball at him and at first glance, it appears I did it but then it started to shake. It shock once then twice, my nerves are building with anticipation to catch Regirock but on the third shake, he broke free once more and hopefully the next time will be the last. One last time and we should be able to catch Regirock while displaying my skill. "Dazzle use string shot" more string tied him up showing him down more "Ven use vine whip" Ven held Regirock "Bas, use confusion" the hit we direct and confused Regirock then I threw another ultra ball this time shaving 3 times and I finally caught him.
After the battle calmed down, Dazzle began to glow which only meant one thing. He's evolving into the next stage, he became bigger and his appearance changed more square like. Grown to above a meter in height and the how dimming, Dazzle became a Charjabug. It seemed good to celebrate the evolution of Dazzle so with that and Regirock caught, we best head back to the main region to continue this task that fell before us. Celebrating the accomplishments will have to wait as this is dangerous even for skilled trainers. I called everyone back after healing them and trending to their wounds them left the cave to meet up with Umbreon and Eevee. I wonder how they were, seemed like I was battling for a long time, they must have either gotten bored or over worried. Either way we can make it through any obstacle they throw at us.
