Sombre narrowed his eyes as the Tyranitar approached their little group. He was about to ready an attack when Sardotha beat him to it. The Absol smiled as he realized the other two were perfectly capable of defeating strong Pokemon on their own. However, he knew that he had the best chance of keeping them safe. After all, he was too powerful for Gym Battling, and Violettaa was the Eighth leader. He pulled a small token out of his fur- the Night Badge. He was about to tuck the necklace back into his fur when he saw another two charms. It was his Absolite, and Violetta's Key Stone. Sombre wondered if it could still work, since he had both, and his question was answered when he nudged them with his nose. Sombre smiled. Violetta had rarely let him experience his Mega forme. She was simply too busy to really teach him how to do it himself. He whipped around and brought up a shield of Dark energy to block a Flamethrower attack, and leapt up with his powerful wings to deliver a Brave Bird to the unfortunate Darmanitan who had tried to attack. Settling back down with the three other Pokemon, he noticed Gear whispering about Peek. Padding up to the Eevee, he put a comforting wing on his back. "Don't worry, Gear. I heard news that Peek was in Nimbasa City, performing in the Pokemon Musical. I'm sure she's okay."
