Pokémon Umbral ~ Ruinous Origins Mission 2, Chapter 1

[Menarker]

*Prior to the fight*

"That'll be a nice gift for Moon."

"I imagine it would! And after we heal it up, it'll be a useful now for dealing with pokemons that aren't suitable for your grass type."

As Charlotte and Lola finished off their respective opponent, he sighed heavily with relief, beaming at the success of the group, smiling broadly to everyone else.

"We did it! Excellent! Oh? I'm getting a transmission."

Renny listened to his communicator as Rachel exclaimed about her group's chance encounter with Chizuru, going abashed at the description having spent the entire mission by far with Lola at close range. Such a thought was hard to believe. He decided to evade the topic almost entirely, but he still felt good natured given how they got extra support. Togekiss rested nearby using Roost, and didn't require much attention to his wounds.

"Well, as long as she is on our side, that's all that matters. But Rachel, I'm sure glad to hear you guys are doing well! We'll press on shortly. I wish you all luck! Please be careful, ok?"


*Fight* *Before Bard's post, since I was ninja'ed*

"I don't like attacking children, nevermind anything else outside of a friendly competition. But we all heard her intent and she started it. There is no chance for negotiation. Not yet. Anyhow, same overall tactics as with that wacky military guy!"

Renny then pulled out out two pokeballs and smirked ever so slightly. Not because he was looking forward to what was to come, but because the companions ever so close to his hands were reassuring. Renny flinged the pokeballs into the fray, revealing the poised Umbreon and the ever ready for combat, Swampert. Renny then started issuing out orders, more assured due to the success of the tactic the previous time.

"Lola, Fake Out that girl! Umbreon, get ready to use Helping Hand! Swampert, mimic the Helping Hand when it comes. Charlotte, Metagross is highly resistant to physical blows, so my pokemons will support your fire type! Lola is buying you time to attack without that girl using her supply of effective moves! Give it your best shot! Shannon, if you got any pokemons capable of applying status affliction like sleep and paralysis, go ahead and do it! I'm pretty sure Lola has a move that can heal status conditions from everyone at once. If not, just focus on that other pokemon. The faster we do this, the less time we give to those ghosts!"

Umbreon and Swampert both readied themselves, watching Charlotte with a vague nod as they prepared to lend their aid to what they could only hope to be a fire type pokemon suitable to melt Metagross to scrap.

*After Bard's post*

"Buck, use a fire blast on the Metagross"

The two perked up to attention doing their own unique form of encouragement, each hoping that the Metagross went down before the Mew pokebrid got time to attack with her supreme arsenal of techniques.

---------------------
*Prior to Fight*
Togekiss use Roost after combat to heal up. Doesn't need items to heal up since it wasn't knocked out.

*Combat*

Getting Lola to use Fake Out on Moera to force her to flinch and thus lose a turn. 100% chance of flinching her and 100% chance of acting first in combat unless Moera also uses a move like Quick Attack, then speed is determined by which of the two is faster. Fake Out can only be used at start of battle (or when first sent out in a pokemon's case) since I'm pretty sure I can't just withdraw Lola.

Umbreon to use Helping Hand and Swampert to Mimic that Helping Hand on Buck who is using Fire Blast on Metagross.
