"Okay. There's one more option, but it's a little dangerous. We're going to need to stand back for this." Jennifer provided an example, leaving at least a good 25 feet between her and the rock face. She fingered one of the mysterious capsules at her belt. "Before Draco took over the valley, I was considered pretty good with creatures that could harness the power of steel. You're about to get a demonstration of that power." She chose one with a yellow H on a black field over half of the fist-sized orb, the rest being a lovely shade of off-white.
"Scizor! I choose YOU!" A red winged mantis hit the field with a loud pop and a bright flash of light after Jennifer threw the ball hard in front of her. Large, menacing pincers made him look almost like a boxer, and its whole body had a metallic sheen. "Bullet Punch that wall!"
The creature obediently darted forward at a speed that was hard to follow before delivering a series of rapid punches into the stony face.
