Doll POV

I dodged Metagross' Meteor Beam by flying around him, throwing Shadow Balls to throw off his aim. Frost jumped above him and hit him with Night Slash, causing him to forget about me and attack Frost. With the mega metal moron distracted, I flew over to Cream.

"So, how do we take down a tank like him?" I asked, to which her response didn't give me much hope.

"Maybe you could carry me over those two, then I could support Frost from above while you make sure neither of us gets hit." She finished with a nervous smile. I shrugged and grabbed her.

"It's the best we've got right now." I muttered before flying overhead. Cream used Decorate on Frost after he dodged a Brick Break, which he then counter attacked with Triple Axel, getting three direct hits. Metagross shrugged it off and shot Swift at us, which I dodged before it turned and almost hit me, but Cream countered it with Magical Leaf. Metagross barely dodged Frosts Iron Tail and fired more of those damn homing stars at us. Cream kept countering them as I weaved through them, then one hit me directly in the back, and I stopped moving for a second, long enough for Metagross to shoot us down with Hyper Beam. Cream and I both slammed into the ground... hard. I lifted my head up and instantly grabbed it because of the massive headache I had, and I bet Cream wasn't much better. I saw Frost get thrown into a building by Metagross' Hammer Arm before he went over to Cream and lifted her with Psychic.

"You could be quite the problem if left unchecked." He said as I slowly stood up and used Disable, preventing him from using Psychic. He caught Cream before she hit the ground and held her high as his grip tightened.

"You, little puppet, shouldn't have done that." He spoke before quickly moving to me and smashing another Hammer Arm down, almost crushing me. I tried to shoot him with Hidden Power, but he leaned to the side to avoid it and grabbed me as well. His grip on both of us tightened until it felt like my eyes would pop out, but he stopped, loosened it a bit, and looked behind himself.

"So you won't stay down?" He asked, Frost standing in front of him. Frost used Blizzard, obscuring my view, but based off the fact I felt the grip on me fade and my butt on the ground, I can guess that Frost grabbed me and Cream from him.

"Cream, you should get behind cover bef-"

"I won't! All I've been doing is running and hiding! I'll fight with you two." She said, cutting off Frost and looking ready to fight. He sighed and turned to me.

"Don't look at me." I said, right before a Flash Cannon flew directly at me, which Cream was barely able to block with Protect.

"T-Thanks." I stuttered, surprised by the attack.

"You three don't seem to be taking this seriously." Metagross stated before rushing at us with Steel Roller, to which I grabbed Cream and flew out of the way with Frost dodging to the side. Metagross stopped and fired more of the increasingly annoying Swift at us, which we managed to dodge/counter... until a giant Sludge Bomb came flying at us. With no time to dodge and no way to counter, I shielded Cream and took the brunt of the attack, resulting in us falling to the ground with me poisoned. Frost started running over to us, but an Earthquake stopped him, damaging all three of us severely.

"D-D-Damn..." I muttered as Cream slowly stood up.

"You're still standing? Impressive." Metagross said as he walked over to her and readied a Psycho Cut.

"Cream!" Frost yelled as he jumped at the pseudo-legendary, going in with Brick Break, but getting knocked to the ground before making contact.

"Now, let's start with those eyes of yours." Metagross mumbled right before slashing at Creams left eye, though when he tried to do the same to the other I pushed past the pain and poison to use Pain Split, causing him to stumble backwards and breathe heavily. I grabbed Cream and took her away from the action, but where we could still be seen, all I needed was to see an attack coming to dodge it. I saw Frost get up and look around before his eyes landed on Cream, who I held, trying to stop her from bleeding. He looked like he froze up after seeing her like that.

"What is he doing? Did he really just forget about Metagross?!"

Metagross POV

Damn that little stuffed ghost. I shook off the pain and looked up to see the Weavile staring at the Alcremie.

"Hmph, froze up in the middle of battle?" I asked mainly to myself.

"You bastard!" He suddenly shouted before rushing at me. He swung his claw at me, not even bothering to use any type of move. I smiled and simply took it. It wasn't going to do anything any-

"Gah!" I gasped in pain as his claw left a large dent on my lower left arm. I moved back to recollect my thoughts, but he wouldn't give me a second to think as I was bombarded with claw swings, chops, and cuts, all doing a significant amount of damage.

"How is he doing this?! Those strikes shouldn't be doing a thing! Has he had a sort of power boost or-" And my gaze quickly shot to his eyes, seeing they were slowly turning black as his iris faded into white.

"He's infected! But this looks different from the others, it may be because it wasn't directly injected into him, it was the result of a blood fusion!" At this point, I knew I needed to get away, but there was no way to get away from his barrage, so I used another Earthquake. He stumbled, giving me time to knock him away with a Hammer Arm. I turned and began flying away, but I was suddenly surrounded by snow on all sides, he had used Blizzard. The Weavile used my lack of vision as an advantage and began attacking. I felt my upper right arm be almost torn off after being hit by what I assume was Mega Punch. All I could do was try to use Protect, but I would then be attacked from behind. I felt severe pain in every inch of my body and clenched by teeth. When I looked up, the Weavile was directly in front of me and swung a large scythe made of ice, which I couldn't block.
