As Kenny and the others were headed back to Camp, Otto followed them. Once they got back, Otto approached Kenny and his Team, and spoke to them.

"Oshu, osh oshu wott shu wottottottwott osh wott oshuosh." (Translation: "Hey, I just wanted to apologize for what happened earlier.")

Eve responded to him.

"Veevee, ee eevee. Vee ee ee vee ee ee veevee." (Translation: "Otto, It's ok. You can't help the fact that things went crazy.")

"Osh, osh oshu wott shu ottosh. Wott osh shu oshu?" (Translation:"Hey, I didn't get your names. Who are you guys?")

"Vee Eve. Ee veeveevee ee Eevee, vee ee eevee ee Veevee." (Translation: "I'm Eve. The Lucario is Ryu, and the Zorua is Zorro.")

"Shu. shu wott, shu oshu shu oshuosh shu ott oshu wottoshu." (Translation: "Huh. You know, you and Zorro have similar names to your Species' Name.")

Zorro joined in.

"Hey, Otto, i see you're-"

Group 2 (Commander and DarkLight)

After visiting Salamence the group was on their way back to the camp. They were walking on a sandy path that was big enough for 3 people to walk next to each other. On their right side was nothing but stone. It had the shape of an irregular wall and was about 3-4 meters high. The left side went steep down with a lot of bushes and trees. A rail you can find at every roadside separated the students from safety and a harsh fall.

The students were about halfway and the slope on their left wasn’t as steep anymore but still dangerous when the earth started to rumble. Devin was immediately on guard. “Everyone against the stone wall!” he yelled but he was too late. Not every student was able to react in time as a few seconds later a herd of Donphan and Phanpy passed the group knocking students, including Henry, over to the right side.

Evan, who was walking on the left side, was one of those that couldn’t react in time. Fortunately for those students the Donphan kept away from the left side if it wasn’t for the rubble that started to come down. Devin’s attention was diverted to the falling rubble as he released his Pokémon to stop the big rocks from raining down on them. One of the very first rocks fell on the road, without injuring anyone, and forced the herd of ground types to run around it; straight at Evan.

The student didn’t see much because of the dust that was around and never saw the Donphan coming. The ground type ran straight at him and pushed him over the edge. Evan yelled in angst and confusion but the sound overwhelmed by another Donphan crushing a rock into dust. Danielle saw everything happen.

When the herd passed by and the dust cleared Devin tried a head count. His Haxorus, Tyrantrum and Dragonite were standing between students where the rubble fell. “Is everyone alright? Did anyone get injured? Look for your friends and speak up!” And for the very first time the students saw a flustered Devin.

Everyone else at the camp

A rumbling sound could be heard as the earth started to shake. Alastair and Tyron got up and went to take a look when the herd of Donphan appeared. “Everyone watch out!” Alastair yelled as he and Tyron both released their Pokémon to stop the incoming stampede. Tyron’s Aggron and Snorlax managed to stop the two Alpha males in the front but the others scattered around the camp. There were about 50 of them, including the Phanpies and all of them seemed to be startled about something. The teachers tried their best to calm all of them down but were easily outnumbered. It was obvious they needed help from the students, but not all of them kept a clear head. Most of them fled into one of the buildings, adding their panic to the mayhem.

((You can battle them if you want to try and calm them down. I know Tacos wants to catch one so go ahead and control your opponent(s) as much as you like))

[Felicity]

Caught by surprise, Claude figured he should try to help. "Doux, Use Stun spore, spread the spores out to try and hit as many of the Donphan as you can! Then use Razor leaf to help weaken as many of them as you can!" And so, Doux was sent flying around the chaos, puffing out Small pink and Gold clouds towards the Donphan, occasionally launching a flurry of sharp leaves at the pokemon

((Feel free to bunny Doux, Claudes being completely supportive here))

[K_H]

When the herd of Donphan and Phanphy thundered in, the noise interrupted the Conversation that had started up. Kenny was startled, and it showed in his jump and subsequent pose. then, when he calmed down a little, he spoke to Otto.
"What was your name?"
Zorro answered for Otto.
"His name is Otto."
Kenny smiled, and spoke again.
"All right, Otto, glad to have you along."
Kenny then spoke to his Team.
"OK, let's do this!"
Ryu frowned, prompting Kenny to speak again.
"Just like you saw the Herdier controlling the Mareep back on the ranch, buddy. We've got this!"
Kenny then had Otto use Water Gun to head off the two Donphan that were headed towards them, and then another Water Gun sent them the other way.

Finding an area by the male cabin once they had gotten back, Robert was simply sitting there looking at Jet's Pokeball. 'You did good, Jet. You were able to finish it off. You ended up proving yourself powerful in your first battle...so was I doubting you near the end?' Looking away from the ball, his attention went to Kiai. Kiai HAD been watching the battle from the sidelines, so maybe he'd know something. "Hey, Kiai. During the battle against the Gibles, did you support Jet fully? Did you have any doubts in him?" Kiai simply shook his head no, and was a bit confused as to what he ment. Is there a reason that he'd doubt Jet?

"Oh, I guess that's right. Not sure why I'd even ask, it's not like I even know why I was doubting him." Before Robert could his focus back on the Pokeball, Kiai had a shocked expression and pointed his paw towards the direction of the incoming Donphan, "What's wrong, Kiai? Something up-" Before he could finish, he saw the stampede of Donphan coming in, as well as students fleeing into the nearby cabin. With that, he got up and looked towards Kiai. "Hmm, did someone annoy a herd of Donphan. Well, it's not like it can be changed. How about we try to help scare them off?" With a nod yes and a 'Rio ru,' Kiai got ready and tried a Foresight on one of the Donphan, to 'snipe' it away from the group, in the hope that limited attention would make it more handle able, exchanging Jet's ball in exchange for Nikki's if necessary.

Jacob stood up, immediately on guard as he heard the rumbling. Once the herd began to stampede toward the camp, however, he began to react. "Chalchi, out now! LET'S GO!" he roared, running toward the building where the other students had fled. He stood protectively in front of it and threw Chalchi's ball into the air, releasing the Lapras in front of him. "Chalchi, let the professors deal with the ones that are still charging. We have to protect the other students!" As he gave orders to Chalchi, two Donphan began to charge toward the cabin with their heads lowered, clearly intending to leave the camp and not caring what was in their way. "Chalchi, time to take action! Use Slip 'n' Slide!" he shouted.

A glowing ball of water appeared in the Lapras's mouth and she fired it in front of the Donphans, intending to hit the beasts' heads and legs as well as soak the ground. After the Water Pulse had been fired, a chilly aura began to surround her and the grass began to frost over toward the Donphans. Any water on or under the Donphans would freeze as a result, damaging the rampaging Pokemon as well as causing them to lose their balance.

"Now, Arete, come on out!" he shouted as he threw her ball into the air. The Togepi looked from Chalchi to Jacob, realizing it had been released in the middle of the battle. "Use Sweet Kiss on those Donphans so that they can't get up off the ice!" The Togepi nodded, a determined expression coming over the adorable egg's face. She blew two kisses, one toward each Donphan. The oversized lip projections traveled quickly toward them. Jacob could only hope the two wild Pokemon would be on the ground before they were hit.

Ryan threw himself onto the bed, exhausted after his limping struggle to get back to his room. Victoria was finished toying with Kage and jumped back onto Ryan's lap, craning her neck to steal a pokeblock out of Ryan's pocket. She chewed on it, savoring the flavor. She then ran over to the door with a stern little face, prepared to guard the entrance with her life. "Ok, so start from the beginning. Who is this frie..." A rumbling began to start at the bottom of the cabin. "Oh boy, what now?" Ryan got up, and peered out the window. "Oh sweet Arceus..." It was a sight to behold. Donphan and Phanpys as far as the eye could see running at mach speed towards the camp. With each second, the rumbling grew louder, to the point where their movements were like an earthquake. "It's almost like the time Groudon was awoke, eh Kage?" The beds were starting to shake, the earthquake intensifying in strength. A crash rang through the cabin and students started filling the hallways, climbing over each other to run through the halls. A feisty little Phanpy swerved off of the path and smashed right into Victoria.

The small dragon stood up, giving an angry look to the slightly larger Phanpy. She began stomping her feet to emphasize her frustration with the current situation. She's asking for it! If she wants to fight, she'll regret it!

The scene was almost like a comedy movie. Ryan was almost in tears. "This... is actually... the most hilarious... thing I've seen... in a while!" Ryan slipped out his words in between fits laughter. His gaze then focused to the Phanpy standing in front of the rage-filled Victoria. He slowly made his way over to the two pokemon in the middle of a one-way-altercation. "Is this a battle you want, Victoria?" The small dragon stamped her feet once again, her scales glistening in the cabin lighting. "Well, I guess we better get to it."

Ryan had barely backed off when Victoria had began to spew blue, Dragon Rage flames towards the Phanpy. The Phanpy squealed and curled up in a ball. It's skin seemed to grow tougher. Before the flames could strike her, the Phanpy began to rapidly roll around the area, slamming into Victoria. The small dragon was knocked onto her back. But, learning from her previous battle, she got back onto her feet with a flying leap from Dragon Dance. Victoria let out a fierce roar to intimidate the Phanpy. However, this Phanpy must have had some experience in battles, because she knew the effects that the move had. She squealed even louder and the cabin room began shaking violently. The unoccupied bunks fell on their sides.

Ryan realized that one of the bunks was beginning to get dangerously close to Victoria. Ryan screamed at the tiny dragon. "Get out of the way, Victoria!" The little dragon looked at Ryan and then saw the bunk falling towards her. She jumped out of the way, the bunk narrowly missing her head. But her leap through her straight into the Phanpy. Victoria screamed and released another Dragon Rage upon the Phanpy. The Phanpy was far too close to be able to dodge this time, and squealed as the blue flames engulfed her. Out of the fire shot two small icicles with incredibly sharp points. Their speed was rivaled by that a of a bullet. The shards smashed against Victoria's chest. She screamed in pain as two small cuts appeared on her. The shock had launched her back, but she realized that she needed to get close to do anything. She threw herself into a rapid spinning motion, propelling herself towards the Phanpy. She kicked the Phanpy, and then slipped. But she had prepared a Fire Fang, and her teeth bit into the Phanpy's ear. The phanpy squealed with the amount of hits she had taken. She threw herself over Victoria again, her rolling going in reverse to strike Victoria. This happened repeatedly until Victoria was near fainting. But the successive attacks had made her stronger. She planted her feet into the ground, launching herself at the Phanpy.

Phanpy was keen as to what was about to happen. She curled up and rolled away from the area, leaving Victoria to crash into the ground. Rage was driving Victoria insane. The Phanpy made the ground shake again, slowing Victoria while she steadied herself. She shot another Ice Shard at Victoria. But her unsteadiness had caused her to accidentally dodge the incoming attack. When the quake stopped she locked gaze with the Phanpy. She threw herself at the Phanpy, landing a swift kick to its side. The Phanpy was pushed back a great distance. She stood, trying to catch her breath.

It was now that Ryan saw his opportunity. The poor pokemon would be too injured to just go back with its herd at this point. It would get left behind and Ryan wasn't going to have that be the situation. In one swift motion, he pulled a pokeball from his belt. The ball expanded in his hand, and he lunged forward, tossing the ball towards the Phanpy. Upon impact, the Phanpy was absorbed in a bright flash of white. The ball began to shake. One. Two. Three. Click.

Ryan screamed with joy and ran over to the pokeball, picking it up with pride. He turned to Victoria, fishing a Super Potion out of his bag. He sprayed the small dragon, to her own discontent. "The stinging is only temporary. You'll feel better very soon." He dropped an Oran Berry in the waiting dragon's mouth. "Well Kage, you wanna start this over in the safety of the cabin ord would you rather us go outside?"

[Tses]

Sissy was inside the cottage when the Donphans appeared. She had finished her shower, when she he heard a loud noise coming from outside. She quickly dressed up and grapped her things, walking towards the door. Once she was outside, she could see numerous wild Donphan attacking the camp, while some students battling some of them.

I guess we need to help too. She thought with her hands in her pockets. Sherlock needs some more rest after that battle, Miffy can't handle these ground elephants, so it comes to my little ghost. She started walking a few steps in front of the cabin. "Miss. Let's take care of these two here." She said, pointing at two donphans near the girls cottage. The Misdreavus flew directly to them, firing multiple balls of ray. The Donphans starting mistepping, hitting each other under their confusion state. "Now, Astonish!" Sissy said. The ghost pokemon went straight at the two wild pokemon, letting out a scream near their ears, making them flinch. They looked at each other and run in retreat back from where they came.

"Great job Miss!" Sissy said as she petter her pokemon. "Now let's head for the center of the area and realize some more of your rays to these pokemon." She said and started walking. She could see many Donphan paralyzed down on the ground, and an unfamiliar pokemon from above them spreading stun spores.

"Go help him out Miss." And so, the ghost pokemon flew directly near the cottonee firing multiple balls of confuse ray to the Donphans that escaped the spores.

[DarkLight]

Danielle had cursed under breath as the Donphan and Phanpy horde came straight towards them. Instinctively, she dived for the left side to avoid getting rammed over by a Donphan on her right. "Avis, are you alright?" she yelled at the top of her lungs, having lost her sleeping bird. A second later, Danielle saw her bird from above blowing the dust from her line of sight; Avis appeared a bit miffed for being woken up so rudely, but was otherwise safe and ready for a fight. 'What the hell is going on? Judging by Professor Cadmus' reaction, this isn't normal.' She quickly cut off that thought when she saw Evan being knocked closer and closer to the railing by several rampaging Donphan. 'Screw thinking, I need to act.'

Danielle looked up at Avis and commanded, "Avis, get Professor Cadmus' attention while I get Evan!" Without waiting for a response, she unhooked her two remaining capsules and released Corona and Zared. "Zared, knock out anything that is in our way! Corona," she placed her small body onto her shoulder and pointed to Evan, "You need to help me pull him out."

All at once, Danielle's three Pokemon reacted to her commands. Avis rolled her eyes at the mention of Evan's name, but complied and immediately flew over to the Elite Four member to direct him towards her master. Zared managed to crush several tumbling rocks with a couple of Iron Heads as his master made her way over to Evan. Finally, Corona spat out a thick, rope-like thread that wrapped around Evan's waist as soon as Danielle managed to get close to the rail.

"I-I got you, just hang on tight. Literally," she grunted to the confused boy as she pulled the thread rope towards her. She dug into her heels to gain some traction, which resulted in some deep footprints. Zared also tried to help by holding onto Danielle's leg to prevent her from being pulled over the edge.

[Chim]

DarkLight and Commander

The thread snapped and Evan fell over the rail. He rolled down the slope, hitting bushes and trees, and quickly disappeared out of view.

Avis didn’t reach Devin in time. The Elite Four member followed Avis’s directions but didn’t see Evan’s fall. He reached Danielle and noticed a piece of string in her hands. "What's wrong? Are you injured?" he asked concerned.

[DarkLight]

"Ah! No no no no no!" Danielle cried as the thread snapped. As a result of the force of her pull, the recoil sent her tumbling backwards and landed right on top of Zared, who cried out in surprise. Corona shrieked as Evan disappeared from view; she quickly flew over to the rail and peered down into the forest below. "This is no good... This is no good..." Danielle freaked out as she got up.

"What's wrong? Are you injured?"

Danielle looked up to find herself standing right besides Professor Cadmus with Avis in tow. "No, no. I'm fine! It's Evan! He was pushed over the railing there by several Donphan! I tried to pull him back up but... It didn't work out..." She almost whispered the last part as she held up the remaining strands of silk in her hands. Feelings of guilt and regret was etched on her face. 'If only I could pull faster, then maybe this wouldn't have happened...'

After recovering his bearings, Zared walked over to the rail and told Corona to come back with him. The Larvesta, however, chirped sadly at her failure and refused to leave. Avis, noticing Corona's reluctance, flew to Corona's side and uttered a few "krows" to comfort the Larvesta. With a heavy sigh, Corona nodded and the three of them rejoined Danielle together.

[Commander]

Henry lay there staring at the sky questioning what just happened. His Pokemon, who managed to get away moved over to their trainer. "Thanks the for help," Henry said sarcastically. He remembered being sent flying head on into the wall. Thankfully, the Donphan didn't knock him full force otherwise he might've been dead. He was in pain, severe pain, but nothing seemed to be broken fortunately. He turned once more to the sky yelling, "Arceus, why do you hate me?"

Henry knew he couldn't just lay there, especially with the Donphan on the loose. He slowly crawled over to his broken cane and used it to try and elevate himself up. With much struggle, he found his way back to a standing formation. Henry then felt dizzy and landed hard on his hand and knees coughing and coughing until blood shot out of his mouth before falling down to the ground.

Zuko had seen this once before and knew exactly what to do. He sprinted off to where he saw the girl Henry was talking too earlier. He began growling and signaled for her to follow where the boy had collapsed.

((Henry is awake and alright...well able to move after a little bit, but you can't expect someone to be perfectly fine after taking a Donphan hit))

[TurboAura]

Watching as Kiai's Forsight had 'identified' the Donphan, it caught the attention of the Donphan it was aimed at, as well as one that was running behind it. "Well, I guess we've got two to work with. Just means we should even the odds then." With that, he released Nikki right beside Kiai, who had immediately seen the two Donphan now heading towards them and was very suprised by it. "Okay you two, the main goal is to get them to leave, not to take them down. If they try to run back to the forest, let them. Got it?" They both nodded, Nikki doing so nervously, and moved their focus back to the 2 Donphans charging at them.

"Okay, Nikki, Use Bubble. Kiai, try and Copycat Nikki and use Bubble too." Listening to the command, Nikki let out a Bubble Attack towards the Donphan and Kiai used copycat to do the same. While the attacks easily hit the incoming Donphans, they ignored what pain came and hit both with a Slam, having the 'follower' Donphan get 'Gooeyed' up after hitting Nikki. "Okay, that didn't go too well, but It's good enough for now."

The Donphan's then began their next moves, having the bigger of the two start a Rollout towards Kiai while the smaller one stayed back and used Magnitude. "Kiai, do your best and Counter the Rollout. Nikki, use Protect." Listening, Kiai braced for the incoming Rollout while Nikki Protected. As the Rollout hit the Kiai, the Magnitude had reached and he took both attacks, Countering the Donphan with the pain of both attacks and launching it back. 'Okay, so far so good. Let's just hope Kiai can make it through it alright.'

[Sutoratosu]

"First a snorlax, and now that herd of Donphans Cadmus told us about earlier..." Mareek thought to himself as the herd came into the camp and all hell pretty much began to break loose everywhere. He scowled a bit at those Trainers who had been cowardly and fled inside the cabins as he reached down and sent out his team. Each of them looked around in bewilderment at the spectacle in the camp, all giving him a questioning look, uneasy about the sheer amount of chaos.

"Set up for Ancient Lightning," He ordered Java and Nemo in the standard language they always received commands in from him. The two went to work immediately, and before long, Nemo stood posed balancing a Golden, shifting sphere of energy atop his club, help up straight in the air towards the sky. He looked at Mareek, awaiting the firing order. The boy shook his head though.

"No," he said, envisioning what he wanted to try to do next. "I have a different idea this time-" Erce called out to him before he could finish, nodding to two Donphans who were charging at them and closing fast. "Let's make this quick, Nemo, start rotating that sphere." The Cubone obeyed as best he could, concentrating and setting the thing spinning like a miniature globe of power. His trainer turned next to the Porygon.

"Fire off as many Tri Attacks as you can at the sphere, be quick about it." Java went to work, all the while Erce was keeping her trainer apprised of the rampaging Duo coming for them. Java fired off one after another, generating the triangular fields as fast as he could. Each one he launched soared towards the spinning golden globe... then altered it's course and went into orbit around the thing, glowing a faint but still notable yellow around the edges. The porygon managed to get out a good four or five before time was getting dangerously close to being up.

"Nemo," Mareek ordered, the Donphans about to run them over. "NOW!" The cubone leveled the sphere and it's orbiting Tri Attacks, then sent in flying towards the Elephants, the light from it's golden hue blinding them in their tracks. A sound reminiscent of crackling thunder combined with a small explosion issued forth, throwing up clouds and clouds of dust in the area. Mareek couldn't help but smirk... the idea had worked, Tri Attacks Electric component had functioned precisely as it had during the battle against Slade a few weeks ago... he had just had to figure out how to exploit it himself. Though, of course the chances he'd be able to pull something like this off in an actual battle was slim and none, not like an opponent would sit there and let him make such an obvious set up like that...

"Let's fall back and find the others," he ordered his team, recalling all but Erce and the Mantis and Him putting as much distance between Themselves and the dust as possible. He knew that chances were, that little attack probably hadn't knocked out the Donphans, just injured them... and an injured animal was a pissed off animal. All the more reason to find someone to team up with, and fast...

((Feel free to call him over if you want or something...))

DarkLight and Commander

Devin’s eyes widened. Panic showed on his face as he ran over to the railing and tried to find Evan. “No,” he mumbled. “That’s too deep. DRAGONITE!” he yelled.

The gentle dragon immediately came over and Devin gave instructions to find Evan. He then turned back to Danielle and saw a Vulpix growling at the girl. His eyes followed the trail the fire type probably walked and saw Henry coughing. He then scanned the rest of the area and saw that no one else was seriously injured. “Go help your friend,” he instructed Danielle. “I’ll be right there.”

Devin cleared his throat. “I want you all to wait here until I’m certain no one else is missing or hurt. Those that aren’t injured take care of your friends and see if anyone is missing.” He then saw a group of students that weren’t harmed, including Kristen. “I want you all to go back to camp and tell them what happened. Find the teachers and make sure they organize search parties for Evan Reeves. The Donphan’s could’ve end up anywhere in between the road and camp so Haxorus will accompany you to keep you safe.” The students nodded and quickly left.

The Elite Four member was about to make his way to Henry. “We wait until help arrives to be certain as we don’t know where the Donphan’s are. Changes are very high they are rampaging somewhere close to camp, but in case they return I ask you all to keep an eye out and stay at the side of the path.”

**********************

In the meantime Evan was lying unconscious on the ground. His clothes were dirty and ripped and leaves were sticking in his hair. He had a lot of scratches and a head wound that was bleeding slightly. It was a small wonder he wasn’t in any worse shape.

A shade fell over him as the student made a groaning sound. “Skaaaar…”

[Jory]

Sure enough, both of Chalchi's attacks landed spot-on and the rampaging Donphan cried out in pain. One of them looked rather befuddled, but before long both slipped on the ice and fell to the ground. Immediately after that, Arete's attacks hit the two Donphan. Both began to clumsily attempt to get up, only to fall on the ice once more. Eventually they both gave up, simply lying on the ice sheet and looking up at Jacob with sad eyes. "Sorry fellas, but you needed to be stopped. Now go to sleep," he commanded. "Chalchi, use Sing." The Lapras craned her neck toward the Donphan and began to sing them a lullaby. The pair drifted off to sleep as the ice began to dissipate from their body heat. "Excellent work, guys! Now onto the rest!" he said excitedly. "Chalchi, freeze yourself a path to the middle of the camp. Arete, you're done for now. You can rest," he said gently, hitting the return button on the Togepi's ball.

He then hopped on his Lapras's back as she began to slide toward the center of the camp. Jacob took stock of the situation. Mareek and Claude had mollified many of the herd by attack or by Stun Spore, but there were still several chasing around students who hadn't been able to react in time. "Alright, Chalchi, let's put on a show for these guys. Use Sing, but this time make it loud." Jacob then put his hands around his mouth, hoping to Arceus that everybody would be able to hear him. "HEY! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FALL ASLEEP, COVER YOUR EARS! NOW!" he hollered at the top of his lungs. "Okay, Chalchi. Your turn."

The Lapras cleared her throat, something Jacob had never heard her do before. Oh, Arceus, this is going to piss off a lot of people... he thought to himself. Still, better pissed off than stomped on. Chalchi began to sing loudly, the volume of her song louder than Jacob had ever heard his Lapras before. He felt his eyelids start to get heavy and covered his ears. He immediately felt better as the majority of the mysterious sound waves were blocked by his hands. He watched as many of the Phanpy and Donphan around him began to slow their pace and begin to curl up on the ground, snoozing peacefully. "Keep going for a little longer!" he encouraged his Pokemon, still covering his ears. Eventually the song stopped. The ones who had been actively battling were too lively to be quelled by the song, but the ones who had been running around somewhat aimlessly were, for the better part, taken care of.

[DarkLight]

Danielle and her team heard the growling Zuko as Devin instructed Dragonite to find the fallen boy. She gasped when she saw Henry on the ground, seemingly unconscious. 'Oh no! Not him too!' Before Devin finished giving his instructions for her, Danielle was already sprinting after the Vulpix, leaving her Pokemon to answer her professor.

"Henry!" Danielle called frantically as she knelt down beside his body. She looked around trying to figure out how she could get him out of the dirt (and the blood stain) before she saw her Pokemon rushing over to help. "Zared, can you help me lean him up against that wall? Gently now..."

Zared quickly complied and, as Danielle took one side, hoisted his other side up with his small frame. They both managed to put his back against the wall while Avis grabbed his cane (or what's left of it) with her talons and placed it by Henry's side. As soon as he was settled, Danielle rummaged through her backpack to pull out a tissue and began to wipe off the blood. "What a perfect day to get rammed by a Donphan huh?" she said sarcastically, trying to lighten up the situation.

Avis put herself on the top of the wall to act as a lookout while Zared stood as a guard. Corona had seated herself by Zuko, still down about her failed String Shot.

[Aurorix]

"Whoa!" Slade said as the Donphan rushed into the place. "Flare return!" He said getting his ball an putting him back it. 'I think it's time for this one to show what it's got.' He thought to himself as he grabbed a ball from his belt. "Ok Sasuke, time to shine!" He said as he threw the ball and out popped the frog.

"HEY! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FALL ASLEEP, COVER YOUR EARS! NOW!"

"You heard the man cover!" He said towards Sasuke and they both covered their ears until the song stopped and it seemed alto of the pokemon went to sleep but there were a few that weren't, probably the one's who were paralyzed by that stun spore earlier. "Ok Sasuke, Use water pulse on that Donphan still running around in front of us!" Slade said pointing to one that seemed to be suffering from the stun spore. Sasuke quickly rushed toward the pokemon and fire a water pulse, at a very close range, aiming for his side.

[Commander]

His vision was a bit blurry, but he could still somewhat see and noticed Danielle helping him up and against a wall. He looked at her and ignored her little joke. He simply looked straight into her eyes with a bit of a smile on his face.

"Don't worry about me, I've been through worse. After all, I am the infamous Orre boy. Just promise me you won't blame yourself for any of this. It's a pain that never goes away no matter how hard you try." Henry wanted to say something else, but the pain caught up to him. He badly wanted to get up and stop the Donphan, but he needed rest. He looked at Danielle with a fierce. "I'll be fine on my own and won't do anything rash. Just go help the others. If anything happens, my Pokemon will take care of me."

Zuko looked at Henry closely. It wasn't like his master to give up so easily. Henry had a plan or at least some type of plan. He stood there on guard preparing for what exactly might happen next. The other three Pokemon came closer confused as to what was going on. Unlike Zuko, they didn't completely understand how Henry's mind worked.

[Chevaleresse]

Kage extracted himself from underneath one of the bunks that had been knocked over in the battle. He wasn't hurt at all, though it had startled him and his team quite a bit. Well, except for al'Thor, who simply gazed at the carnage with a faint hint of curiosity as usual. As the bed thumped onto its side from his push, he dusted himself off and replied to Ryan's question. "Not sure what you're calling safe, but I think we should probably head outside just to check things out. I need to talk to one of the teachers anyway."

[Tacos]

Ryan looked regretfully upon the mess that battle had made. Even his own bed was toppled over, and he could swear there was a spring poking out of the mattress. "I guess you're right... I guess we better go then." Ryan limped out the door, after Kage, trying his best to keep up. Victoria looked back at the room as they were leaving, and felt a sense of pride with what she felt was an accomplishment, a memento to a great battle.

Kage gingerly walked through the halls, somewhat unsteady. There was debris from panicked Phanpys and Donphans all over the place, and he almost fell on his face a few times. Fortunately, the Pokemon seemed to have passed the way out already, so he didn't have that to worry about. When they finally got out of the building, he turned to Ryan. "Where are the teachers at, anyway?"

Ryan's gazed went from place to place throughout the gradually settling mayhem. He located Tyron and Alistair trying to prevent any Donphan from getting closer with an Aggron and Snorlax. "They're over here, come on." Ryan tried to pick up the pace as best as he could, guiding Kage over to the two adults. "Makes me wonder why this whole thing happened? What are they so spooked over, anyway?" Ryan's face was strained out of concern and curiosity. This definitely doesn't seem normal. I can't complain, since I got a new friend, but, there has to be something wrong for this large a group to suddenly charge at the camp of all places.

Danielle sighed and gave him a soft pat on his shoulder before she settled herself next to him. "You say you wouldn't be rash, yet you still try to get up and go after that herd." she chuckled. "The others that you mentioned will be fine; Professor Cadmus had already sent his Haxorus back to the camp with the others that could walk and talk. And, like you said, they all have our Pokemon by their side, so I doubt they will be knocked down that easily." She paused, a small twinge of worry slipped into her train of thought before she brushed it aside. "Look, Henry, I can't leave a friend behind no matter the circumstances, especially if one happens to be in your condition. I feel guilty if I do even if someone tries to convince me otherwise; it's just how I am. I already messed up once," she indicated Devin's location with a nod of her head, "I will not let it happen again, even if it will get me into trouble. So, you will have to deal with me whether you like it or not!"

Corona listened intently to Danielle's little speech. The bug was felt even more upset when Danielle took the responsibility for the failed mission, but something about her last statement cheered her up. Whether it was the way her master said it or the words she chose, Corona felt a fire that is slowly igniting her fighting spirit. She suddenly gave a loud, determined cry before she crawled to take her place beside Zared; if her master has the will to fix her mistakes, she will muster up her courage and fix her's too.

There's no way of fooling this girl is there. I guess this paranoia finally paid off. Evan's Water Stone and Devin's reaction to the situation tell quite a story. Something's hiding in the shadows. I just can't...let anyone know. It pains me to let Danielle go through the same pain I did, but I have no choice. Henry remained silent a little while longer.

"It's funny how well you're taking this. When I was in your shoes, I was angry at myself. So angry my friend had to hold me down. I know you're not going to leave me, and I'm going to keep trying to get back up, but that's just who we are. Just promise me one thing. Whatever happens to Evan, don't blame it on yourself. That's how I became the kind of person I am today." Henry gave a quick chuckle, mostly because it hurt. "I think I know the real reason I'm nice to you. Jealousy. You're able to not only face but overcome your past." Henry looked over to the Mawile and then back to Danielle. "Not only that but you always seem happy and energetic. It makes me wonder if I were willing to accept that incident wasn't my fault, I'd be living a life like that instead of forcing myself into solitude and misery."

Zuko looked at Henry again. This time he seemed to have given up. His master was always so stubborn and willing to push himself. Why did he give up now of all times? This girl must've done something to him because this wasn't the Henry he knew. He then turned his remembering how he was a bit nicer to his old master. Oh how he missed her. This was no time to think about that so the Vulpix shook his head and focused his attention back on Henry.

"If you need to check on your friends, go ahead. I'm not going to try anything and I sincerely mean it this time. Even if trouble were to come, I can handle it. Don't even let my condition fool you. I can move out of the way if needed." Henry was lying about the last part, but he didn't want to trouble the girl. He knew he couldn't move even if he wanted to.
