>>6333771This is too good an opportunity to pass up - Thundurus is stuck and is having trouble getting free of the bottlebrush and it's taken a pounding. Even if it's rapidly recovering from it, there's an opportunity here.
You throw another poke ball at the thrashing legendary. Hopefully, this time it's in rough enough shape you can capture it.
To your annoyance however, as the ball gets close, Thundurus bats it away into the scrub in its thrashing without it activating, which you suppose is a mixed blessing as it can't see anyone right now-
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">BOOOOM!</span></span>
You're momentarily blinded as a lightning bolt strikes off to your right, where Jacky and Gareth went and are left deafened by the strike - probably a Thunder, if you were to guess.
You look over in alarm, but they're both still standing, looking dazzled and dazed, but not like they just got struck by lightning. There is a small circle of scorched grass around Krookodile, though.
It seems like Thundurus blindly used Thunder and hoped for the best and by some miracle, hit the one pokemon out at present that is Ground type.
In response, Thundurus is hit with what you identify as a Dragon Pulse and a Psybeam from Dragonair and Checkers respectively, before Mien darts in and lands a Power-Up Punch before Krookodile hits Thundurus with a move you don't recognise - it looks like a torrent of fine, shimmering sand which does a number on Thundurus as it tears itself free of the now withered and broken bottlebrush.
It looks around at all of you as it trembles as its strength is sapped from its burn, which looks to have been exaserbated by whatever Krookodile did, slowing its evident recovery.
Abruptly, you realise the burn that Volta left it with must already have been stymieing whatever 'second wind' it was getting before, leaving it looking decidedly bruised now, but it doesn't seem inclined to flee, either.
In fact, it seems like the storm is getting worse...
