Snippet #2809565

Fused Lucian steeled his stance against Diamond, watching him rise to his feet, a fist of energy charged in front of him. He stood and waited for the strike to come, expecting the Shadowy teen in front of him to pass through. But instead, he charged around him, calling a command to direct his summoned Charizard at him. He blinked in surprise at the move and knew that he was probably going to be hit by the Flare Blitz.

"Switch!" he exclaimed to Slurpuff, pointing in the direction of Diamond.

The Slurpuff responded in kind, leaping closer to the two of them and unleashing a large tidal wave in between human Lucian and Diamond, aiming to sweep the human off his feet with Surf. The Gengar was smacked hard with the power of Charizard's powerful move. His newly acquired defense boost was the sole thing saving him from being knocked out completely by the attack. Still, he bounced across the dirt a couple times before skidding to a halt at the edge of the treeline. He gasped as he felt the wind knocked out of him.

Chloe, who was far enough away to spectate and noticed the run up attack. Her response was quicker than Lucian's, "Togekiss, tank it and use Mirror Move!"

Should the Surf miss it's mark, Togekiss would be in front of Lucian, ready to take the hit and retaliate in kind.

All combatants seemed too distracted to notice the newcomers on the scene.
