Truly a shocking episode.


Tony gazed at the work Stark had done, raising a mighty wave and crashing it into the side of the DeathKnight. Water flooded in, snatching creatures and Pokemon alike and smashing them into broken steel and searing fire. He was proud of his companion, and notably so – years of training had paid off for the dragon, and he was capable of wrecking quite a lot with ease. The power of that Surf had been undeniable, and had literally even rocked the boat. His partner was a force to be reckoned with, and no one dared to challenge him yet.

It was then that one of those monsters flew at Stark, arms glowing crimson and eyes a distinct blue. It smacked the air hard and fast, and the glow spread out in a terrible dome of darkness. Stark could not react quickly enough, barely throwing up a shimmering purple wall around him as it collided with his body. It circled his face, shrouding his vision, and the Dragonite was momentarily blinded by the effects of the Night Daze. He tried to retaliate as more Chimeras swarmed him, but his vision, hampered as it was, did little to help him.

His Light Screen dimmed any damage done by special attacks, but he was starting to take a beating, barely being able to dodge attacks due to the fact he could only see their vague forms approaching. Tony was helpless to give any advice to his partner, the distance too great for him to hear, but eventually Stark was able to clear his vision enough to deal decent damage. Flames gathered in his mouth and, with a mighty exhale, he blew a hot, gusting wind that washed over many of his attackers. Some outright nearly fell at that moment, unprepared for such a strong Heat Wave – others shielded but still took damage.

And then, suddenly, they were retreating. To Tony’s horror the Water Dog was leaving with them, but a word from Claressa signified he couldn’t do anything. Stark was just as confused, but he had no choice and began to drag more soldiers to shore, which Claressa began to heal. She could not know one of those Chimera was targeting her, aiming for her neck. She couldn’t hear the shot being fired nor know what was inside.

By a stroke of luck, however, she bent over as the dart flew over her head, impacting the soldier she was working on. He let out a cry, before his girth started to expand and…turn pink? The poor doctor backed up, confused out of her mind as a long, lightning bolt shaped tail erupted from his posterior as well as a pair of butterfly wings. Before she knew it, she was facing a Chimera in front of her, head wound still visible and bleeding.

And he was mad.

“What…What did you do to me?!” The soldier stumbled to his feet, swaying unsteadily while everyone else backed up. Claressa tried to utter that she didn’t do it, but the man would not listen to reason. “You were working on me… YOU WERE WORKING ON ME! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!” Sparks danced off of his cheeks as he lurched forward, then suddenly gained a burst of speed and tackled her.

She tried to throw him off, tried to escape his heavy weight, but there was nothing she could do. Against this creature she was powerless, and he was out of his mind due to the change and head injury. The electricity was building up around him, causing her hairs to stick up on end. This was bad, and any mom-

He released the electricity in a Thunderbolt, hitting several soldiers and Pokemon as well as her. Claressa screamed in agony, hundreds of volts shooting through every nerve in her body, and her vision began to fade. Her thoughts were scrambled and meaningless, unable to process what was going on yet all too aware that she was in imminent danger. She couldn’t breathe; the pressure was just too much…

Then it suddenly lifted. While she had not been able to see it, Joy had waddled forth, tiny fist glowing. With more force than thought possible she slammed her fist into the soldier’s face, sending him flying backwards. He got up, notably confused, before a round of razor sharp leaves from Herby put the already injured man out cold. People didn’t have time to wonder why the Blissey knew Dynamic Punch; they quickly began to tie him up while several rushed to the fallen doctor’s side.

She was having a hard time breathing, clutching at her chest as her heart suffered a grave malfunction. Her Pokemon tried to heal her but it only helped with some of the burns she had suffered in the attack; Heal Pulse and Heal Bell could do nothing for the condition that gripped her now. The electricity had wrought its damage, and now her heart’s rhythm was severely upset. She felt people trying to stabilize her, some of them knowing medical training, but her thoughts were already slipping.

“She’s going into cardiac arrest! Get her to the hospital!”

“Claressa! Claressa, stay with us! You have to hold on!”

“Stay away from the light!”

“Oh Arceus,” she barely recognized it as Tony’s, “my sweet, sweet girl… I’m so sorry! I turned away…Please forgive me! Please! Don’t die! Please don’t die! We need you! I need you! I promise I won’t be so annoying and flirtatious, but please don’t leave us! Don’t be my Juliet!”

The rest of the words that may have been spoken ceased to be heard as her thoughts slipped and darkness claimed her mind.
