If Torch had indeed pointed out Knight’s weakness to Fire, Knight would have heartily recommended a Type re-education class for Team Firestorm, as Dark types show no strengths or weaknesses against Fire. He would have also pointed out that Crim was, ultimately, everyone in Persevering Spirit Safehaven’s leader, no matter what the magmortar said to the contrary.

The creature dodged away from Lancelot, moving rapidly by using Quick Attack, although it did not attack anyone. Shortly after that, however, Silver landed his Nuzzle attack on the Legendary.

The creature’s legs vanished and it fell on the floor, sparks dancing up and down its black body. It slowly got up in the air again, and its legs reappeared. It was a bit more tensed and stiff looking now.

It spoke in a very quiet voice, loud enough to let you know it’s talking but soft enough to make you need to really listen to tell what, exactly, it is saying. It sounded male. Frowning at Team Firestorm, it said “Impressively extensive information, but rather flawed and thoroughly unnecessary. If I wished to battle and kill, I would do so on my turf. You all enter it eventually, I have no need to even use Dark Void for that.” He sounded… tired.

Darkrai, as Shock had called it, was still in a defensive position. Arms up, but in a position to block attacks he could not dodge.

Crownless snorted. “I’ve seen it. The few Legendaries I’ve met who decided to talk me out of battling? They attacked moments later. And what other reason would you have to come to a meeting where all Safehaven leaders would be at? If you did manage to kill us all, you’d cause chaos, and possibly dissolve the Safehavens. I can’t let that happen.” Crownless paused, before adding. “Also, you’ve probably killed countless innocent Pokemon. By killing you I can avenge them, and keep you from killing countless more.”

“Hypocrite,” Darkrai muttered.

“Excuse me?” Crownless asked.

“There are some things I would excuse you for,” Darkrai spat, “but not that.”

Aurora bristled. “What’re you talking about? Crownless isn’t a killer!”

“He killed innocent Legendaries,” Darkrai pointed out.

“That’s practically an oxymoron!” Aurora yelled.

“Why are you here, then?” Crim asked loudly, sounding annoyed. “Just spit it out!”

“I wanted a mission,” Darkrai said. “That is what Safehavens are for, correct?”

“You won’t get a mission by insulting us!” Silver said.

“You attacked me. And started the insults,” Darkrai pointed out.

Having a Machamp’s head explode ‘like a blood sausage’ behind her seemed to put a slight dampener on Perish’s mood. It also spattered the light green cloak she was wearing with red splotches. “Aw. I liked the cloak. Eh, I have like two others just like it,” she said aloud to… well, no one nearby.

Clara sighed, renewing her Aqua Ring to wash any blood in her fur out. “This is why I never joined a scavenger team,” she muttered, before using another Rollout to smash into the exoskeleton of the somewhat surprised scolipede, who had been a bit preoccupied with Starr and hadn’t really expected it would have to face another opponent. At the same time, the knife thudded into the scolipede from the other side, as it was the larger target and therefore more easily hit than Starr. The scolipede was stunned for a moment from the two attacks.

The poor blaziken, while fast, was unable to keep up with Oceanus or even strike back, as the samurott had barely given the blaziken enough time and room to breathe. By the time it was dead, it rather bloodied, its beak was smashed, and some bones were undoubtedly broken.

The scolipede stopped battling for a moment, looked at the fate of his comrade, and high-tailed it out of the vicinity of the battle. Starr and Clara allowed the Bug to leave. They also wordlessly agreed to stay away from Oceanus while the Water type pounded the blaziken into a bloody pulp. Clara used her paws to press her sensitive ears against her head as hard as she possibly could and winced at Oceanus’ roaring.

Perish, upon having a Flamethrower hurled at her, dodged with Phantom Force. She was singed a bit before she managed to fully use the move, but did end up dodging most of the attack by appearing roughly five feet to the left.

When she saw the ambipom and charmeleon turn tails and run, she turned around to face Phoebe. The gourgeist saw in the distance that her betas were walking over to her.

Perish did a little bow to the braixen. ‘Hello, there. Thanks for the help in the battle. My name is Perish, leader of the Cloudview Cliffs Safehaven. My friends over there are my two betas, Clara the azumarill and Starr the linoone. Thank you again. May I know your and your friends’ names? And would I be correct in thinking that you’re not… from here?’ she asked.
