>>5890876>>5890882Dustin and Orner pick up their effects (and passengers) and take the dramatic exits. The shattering glass lacerates them for 5 damage as they dive outside...
>>5890890Wallis learns something new of her abilities in this desperate moment, that she can propell herself! A Torrent boosted Surf throws her several feet into the encroaching water bubble, close enough to swim out the door. Thankfully she can use her leg and tailfins with her arms occupied...
>>5890884Wisps of fire evaporate into smoke and steam in proximity to Primarina's partner. It forms a small aura-like shell of gas backlighting Mohka's silhouette.
>>5890874Sweet! Katherine finally escapes the bitter taste of smoke in her mouth, and not much more with that berry. She rolls along the wall to her escape...
>>5890885The stone sparks on impact...with its own light radiation. Cress lets out a breathless wheeze seeing the fruits of all her Pyro Ball training in the woods outside town. Dropping the documents she stepped inside for, she throws a few basic kicks and headbutts into her room's walls while the Z move fully engulfs the building.
>>5890962Sagira rides the momentum of the water coming inward to fly through (or make) holes in most of the second floor rooms. No sign of life...
Dragging in the last open air in the little dorm she's in, it respawns underneath her as a deeply pressurized bubble...than immediately explodes. The blast throws her up and through the roof just before Oceanic Operetta begins to collapse. She takes 7 damage on impact.
The water stings Cress, Ishmael, and Sagira's flame vents all over their bodies, from mouths and paws alike. Normally it might just tingle uncomfortably...but this an ultimate water technique. Jets of water relieve the bubble of its mass in every direction outside the château...while violently blowing around most of the loose fixtures and Pokemon inside. Cress and Ishmael take 33 damage from Oceanic Operetta...and 15 physical damage from churning current's impacts. Surprisingly enough, that's the safest dissolution of the Z move Primarina could manage. An explosion would have been...pyrrhic.
Orner and Dustin with a Sprigatito in tow manage to fall out of the building and the sphere encasing it before any more major damage can be done, though they may have to lower their profiles against the powerful sprays of water.
Mohka carrying a Shiny Primarina, Wallis with her "roommate", and Katherine manage to get away and out of range before any pins can drop, though they're a little lost among the concluding chaos outside. The Ghostly stragglers are being dealt with, and then they'll have their praises sung and them some. That's all of the civilians inside, rescued!
Sagira is flung out the roof, landing on the upper terrace above the Subsumed Château before she can have any chance of falling too hard. She'll roll quite a bit on landing, though...
