The Gardevoir looks surprised! It tries to used another psychic attack on Umbreon, but he deflty dodges, predicting exactly how and where it would try to hit. He retaliates with a firece bite, and this time the mark is hit, as some of the Gardevoir's robe tears from the force!
With the poison, it won't last for much longer. Just a bit more!

>>29521That thought crosses your mind, and it must have affected Umbreon, because suddenly he stumbles as he moves to finish off the Gardevoir! He trips, landing face first in front of the robed entit, legs and butt sticking out. Its wounds from poisoning finally get to it, and it sighs, almsot collapsing… but then picks itself up and nods. In a flash, it vanishes… and so doe the woods behind it, revealing a pathway back to the archway that led you to all this! and beyond it, the exit. Finally.

You'll make landfall within the hour. Need to gather your thoughts?

It has a grin on its face as its stubby arms reach out, and you see the well-deveoped musculature swell. The Machamp, sensing danger, dives in front of Quetz!
What happens next isn't very pretty to watch. The Azumarill laughs gleefully as it pummels into the Machamp again and again, as if it were in the midst of merely playing like a baby would. The Machamp is bruised, and its arms look weakened from the Play Rough attack, though is stands firm in defending Quetz.

He leaves.
