Finish them, Volcarona.
Shadow Councilor Antique sent out Volcarona!
The five foot tall Sun Pokemon emerged in the sky, letting out a majestic cry before locating what was likely a recharging Torterra. Diamond would immediately be able to see the shadowy aura emitting from the Volcarona, which was doing what it could to not outright torch the Torterra with the flames it could produce.
Volcarona, Shadow Fire.
The Volcarona, at the commands of the cold man, began to launch shadowy gouts of flame at the Torterra; with the gouts coalescing into a large sphere of shadowy fire that flew with speed at the Torterra's position. The shadowy energy was prevalent in the fireball, and no doubt it'd strike Torterra with an intensity rivaling Super-Effective attacks.
In the background, the large crystals of the castle that overlooked Castelia began sinking into the ground once more, continuing until they were descended in full and no longer in view. As this happened, the rain slowly began letting up, and the clouds retracted. Antique seemed to take note of this, given he glanced upward only momentarily.
