The dogs landed, growling at the birds. Happiny had been blocked from reaching us, but Vaporeon made use of her now much longer tail to whip a berry thrown by Happiny towards Glaceon, and one upwards, towards the roof. Skarmory, who seemed to be leading the pack, launched a steel wing at it's new foes, but was struck by an ember from Flareon. It reeled, peeling off into the sky. The three dogs split up, dashing off in different directions. Water guns, Thundershocks and Embers flew through the air. Suddenly, nearly all the pokémon sprang up, restored by Happiny. At once attacks were shooting out at every angle. Charmeleon and Flareon were backing Skarmory into a corner (as well as they could considering it could fly) Butterfree let off a burst of confusion in the face of two attackers who, confused, crashed into each other, then the ground. Hitmonchan was felling Murkrows one by one as Snover kept then from attacking as a flock. Pichu and Jolteon were launching a combined attack of thundershock, with Pichu sitting on Jolteon's back, giggling as it's cheeks sparked with delight. Jolteon was directing their boosted, sending his now larger attack at waves of birds, bringing them down two or three at a time. Glaceon sent out a wave of Icy wind, weakening and slowing a large group, enabling Onix to slam them with his tail. To my left, Sammy was cheering on her Oddish as it's poison became too much for another Taillow. 'Yes! Kanto 3, Wherever-these-blue-ones-come-from, nothing!'
I had to find Rattata. I looked at the roof he'd been thrown onto. It belonged to the Town Hall.
'Great, of all the places.....Butterfree! With me!'
We dodged past Vaporeon taking down birds heading for the halls windows, and the scared and confused faces peering out from them, and hammered on the door. A man opened it a crack, looking nervously out. 'Hello? Ah, you're one of the young men with the monsters aren't you? What do you-'
'Sleep powder!'
'Huh? uuuuuuuuuhhhh......'thud.
Push door open. Run inside. Head for stairs. Wave at Mayor. Find next staircase. Keep running. Butterfree was using sleep powder on anyone we encountered. Nobody was going stop us. Then there was a crashing noise, and two Spearow flew round the corner. I kept running. 'Confusion!'
Butterfree hit one, but the other dived for me. I turned a shoulder to it defesively. My shard shoulder. There was a faint crunch, and Spearow flapped backwards, dazed. I didn't stop to wonder, I just swatted at it, making it slam into a wall, and with Butterfree having finished with the other one, we made our way to the roof.
Rattata was munching on the berry, and looking happier. He jumped to his paws, pleased, as we came over. Then Chatot and Skarmory flew overhead. Chatot was yelling 'Kanto 3! Kanto 3!' but Skarmory went for Rattata. 'Rattata, use Flame wheel!' Rattata ran forward as a trail of fire curved up and over him to create a flamewheel. He caused Skarmory to dodge downwards, and Rattata leapt off the roof after it. We rushed forwards after him, hoping he was ok. He'd landed on Skarmory, but none of the fire attacks were doing enough damage. It was a high level, and I'm pretty sure it had been using Roost. Sammy and Oddish had used Sweet scent to stop the birds that were escaping. Onix peered at me, and touched his head to the side of the building, letting me run down it's back like stairs. Thanking it, I saw Chatot, out of range, flying off into the sky, and could just make out it yelling 'Rattata use flamewheel, rattata use flamewheel!'
Rattata was calling out to some of the other Pokémon. Charmeleon, nodding, touched it's tail to Flareons, who began to glow with a red aura. All the eevees, Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Glaceon were making a semicircle around them, and a clapping noise was coming from them. I scanned Skarmory as Rattata leapt forward. 'Ouch, level 45. None of our guys are up to that yet. And Charmeleon's out of ember. Flareon's only got a couple left.'
Rag was looking at the group, half puzzled, half smiling. 'But that's a LOT of helping hands....'
Rattata was bursting into flames, but, strangely, landed on Flareon's back instead of attacking Skarmory. He ran on the spot, the flamewheel spinning instead like a blazing hamster wheel, as Flareon glowed brighter.
I laughed, impressed. 'He's organized one big, super boosted attack. Wow, my rat is awesome. Go Rattata! Come on everyone, one last shot!'
Rag was looking intently at Rattata. 'Amazing. He's managing to convert his normally damaging attack into some sort of boost for Flareon. It reminds me of-'
'Pikachu and Misty's bike!' Cut in Sammy excitedly. 'You're right, that is one smart rat.'
'Aha! Gotcha!' Jonny had just caught one of the defeated birds, and turned to see what we were looking at. 'Wow. Cool.'
Don backed over to us, not taking his eyes off the charging attack. 'How are they going to make sure they hit?'
'Oddiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!'
A tendril of sweet scent made Skarmory drift in front of Flareon, who opened his mouth with a cry, unleashing a torrent of tiny flames. Skarmory only had time to turn and yell before the wave was upon it.
It was AWESOME.
So yeah they won. We've discovered that whatever it was that was that making them crazy seems to wear off once they recover and wake up, so we healed them a little and let them rest. They all just flew off afterwards, and are now fairly spread out and not causing trouble.
We've kept the sword, it's at the base. We figure it's easier than trying to return it to it's proper dimension.
