Together

Chapter Fourty

Neri was the first to strike Skliros with a Covet. The Darkrai didn't have anything, but it managed to do some good damage. The Darkrai only grimaced.

"Eon!" He exclaimed. "Are you ready to die?"

The scarfed Umbreon didn't respond, instead remaining speechless as he used Dig on Skliros. Skliros cried out slight, allowing the attack to hit before using Foul Play on Eon.

Eon's paws flailed as he tried to land on all four paws. Luckily, he had his tail to help him balance. He landed on his paws and managed to stand up on the slightly dusty surface they found themselves upon.

Both Neri and Eon used Dark Pulse on Skliros while Corvus continued to use Weather Ball on the dark type legendary. Fae decided to use Quick Attack. She didn't know if using sand attack would work since he was already blind. Though, he hadn't missed any moves. Perhaps he was using his ears? Or just wildly aiming and getting lucky?

Either way, Fae figured taking him down early would help them win. She heard a loud scream from behind her which made them stop their fighting.

Lazarus was using his signature move, Behemoth Blade on a couple of unfortunate Eeveelutions. He killed a Flareon, Vaporeon, Glaceon, and an Espeon all with one attack.

Their guts splayed below them as they all bled to death on the floor. Fae could hear the anguishing screams of the village all around her. Somehow the Fennekin Elders as well as Parvaiz were still alive.

Fae turned back towards the Darkrai who had a wicked grin on his face. "I hope you're happy with this outcome, Eon. All these innocent Pokémon are dying because of you."

Eon's face didn't change. He wasn't really paying much attention to the death around them. Which Fae wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing. He seemed dead to the world around them momentarily.

"Eon?" Fae questioned him. Corvus seemed confused about it as well, but Neri didn't acknowledge Eon's moment of freezing.

Eon seemed to come to the next moment. The Darkrai grumbled. "I hate repeating myself to this loser." He remarked before deciding to use Poison Jab. The attack seemed more powerful than the other attack.

It seems Skliros was aiming to kill. It was heading in Eon's direction.

Fae wanted to lift a paw and shout for him to dodge. Eon seemed to be ahead of her, though. He easily dodge the attack with such smoothness it was impossible to think he was a weirdo at all.

"Oh I missed? Well, you can't keep dodging me forever, Umbreon. I'll eventually hit you or one of your pawns." Skliros responded.

Confused Fae asked, "Pawns?"

Eon shrugged his shoulders as a response. "I don't understand him sometimes either. I just assume he's talking about you guys."

It was like Skliros wasn't even there for Eon at the current moment. He kept looking back at Lazarus as if expecting for something to happen.

Fae used Bite. It wasn't that effective, but it still made Skliros flinch. He tried so hard to fight the mechanic of the battle, but his body wouldn't allow himself to move nonetheless. How old was this guy?

Eon winked at Fae before starting to dig with his paws. The move was so cheesy, but Skliros couldn't navigate where Eon was under the ground. So he aimed for Neri before being hit with a Dazzling Gleam from an oncoming wheel-chaired menace—Also known as the obvious Fergus in the room.

The Espeon thrusted his wheelchair at the Darkrai unexpectedly. He yelped loudly as he tried to use his forepaws to stop his trajectory. No matter how hard Neri's boyfriend tried to stop himself from clumsily smashing into the Darkrai the wheelchair wouldn't stop rolling.
