>>16188414Skrelp and Talonflame stand on either side of the field, waiting desperately for a conclusion.
And that conclusion does arrive, just in a way that no one expects.
Tired of fighting against each other in a war that's probably never going to end, the beams decide to settle things like sentient beings. The tug-o-war stops, one beam decides to head in one direction, while the second beam decides to head in the other."Wait, what?!"
"The hell was that!?"
You and the ranger are overcome with a shock, too much to order either Pokemon out of the way.
Solarbeam strikes Skrelp.
Dragon Pulse takes Talonflame down.
Both Pokemon faint on the spot.It's here, in this moment, that you learn that Skrelp's defenses are shit.
