"Oh, I didn't know you were a fan of Pokemon Pinball too!" Adam called out to the young boy in amusement, recognizing his own tactic, Best avoid getting squished,

"Play it safe Thistle! You know what he's up to!" THistle gave a cry of aknowledgement, and a cute salute before he walked over the otherside of the mushroom. The echidna waving in good cheer to his opponent before ziplining himself above the large boulder besides Arlo, chirping a greeting to his new mustard colored friend from his perch.

Lillian blinks in surprise at your Sneseal's attack. Well that was interesting she mused in her cracked voice. Not many attacks like that around.

The symbol of Arceus... For a few minutes, Angus is left sitting on the bed in wonder. Gladia drifts into the air beside him, her eye showing clear concern and her tail hanging in distress. Lamorak looks up from the floor like a cranky old man, glaring at the human who dares to deny him sleep.

Finally, Angus looks at the still form of Gauntlet, who is trying to let his master rest. "I think I'm beginning to understand why you were sent to me, Gauntlet." The young knight lets out a weary sigh as the full reality of the situation catches up with him. Standing up from his bed, Angus begins putting on his armor. No going back to sleep after a nightmare like that. Looking toward the others, Angus firms his jaw and says, "From now on, we train every morning, sleep or no. Someone out there is trying to kill us and I will not be unready when they finally come." Gauntlet gets up readily, Gladia floats around eagerly, and Lamorak stands up in weary resignation as it becomes clear that sleeptime is over. Trying to be quiet, Angus goes through some simple martial arts with his Pokemon. Soon enough, all thoughts of the dream and its ramifications are pushed to the back of his mind as he concentrates on his forms. Even Lamorak is eventually able to get into the spirit of things.

Angus takes the time to apply Focused Training to his Pokemon. Not like it would have helped with that last fight, but it might make a difference next time!

Your Pokemon seemed unusually energetic this morning. Maybe it was just the early hour of the morning, but they were all putting a bit of extra effort into the session. Even Lamorak seemed a bit more excited to ram things with its head. Not that it ever needed an excuse to do that, but still.

Dominic's grin doesn't fade a bit as the glowing seed wraps Arlo in a tangle of vines. "You know something? If it wasn't for being attacked by one of my pokemon, I never would have thought about making sure Arlo knew Rapid Spin!" The sandshrew takes half a second of hesitation as the plant draws his life away and then whirls rapidly in place, destroying the vines in a spray of vegetation.

Dominic's grin actually does fade as Arlo is somehow in enough pain to not be able to do anything for a very long time. That chespin had some teeth on it. When Arlo finally seemed to recover, Dominic was giving both Thistle and Adam a dirty look. "Arlo! You know it's rhythm now! Fury cutter again!"

Your Pokemon seemed unusually energetic this morning. Maybe it was just the early hour of the morning, but they were all putting a bit of extra effort into the session. Even Lamorak seemed a bit more excited to ram things with its head. Not that it ever needed an excuse to do that, but still.

It's gratifying to see them involved, especially Lamorak. Angus looks down at the little rockhead and quietly says, "I'm sure you worked up a thirst, just now. Let's go down to the kitchen and help ourselves to some milk, shall we?" Making his way slowly down the stairs, the small company floats/walks down to the kitchen and Angus pulls forth a bottle of milk from the fridge. Pouring some into a bowl for Lamorak, he helps himself to the rest of the milk. Sweating profusely during a nightmare is dehydrating, after all.

Feeling refreshed, Angus walks over to the room storing all the eggs. Looking to the others, he whispers, "All right, let's get the eggs loaded. Careful and quiet, now. We've got plenty of time."

Marcus watches Quicksilver take the hit from the Skitty, allowing himself a small grin as the Sneasel manages to whether the blow, although not without injury. The attack had definitely left the Sneasel a little less than healthy.

Still, after that hit the Sneasel should be more than willing to tear the Skitty apart, right?

"Quicksilver, again! Don't let up!" the Trainer cries, only to watch the Sneasel instead simply look after the Skitty with lovesick eyes. He'd hoped the Taunt would have shut down the Skitty entirely, but it seemed he hadn't quite done enough to protect Quicksilver from her Status afflictions. Still, at least if he couldn't fight there was something he could do, right?

As Arlo tore the ground apart, cracks ran up the column supporting the large rock platform. With a loud CRACK the column snapped into many pieces, and the rock platform crashed down, breaking apart in the air. The large chunks of rock slammed down into Arlo, and Thistle got buffeted by a fair number as well as the ground underneath him broke apart.

When the dust cleared, the stone fragments made the terrain jagged and rough, not easy to navigate through. That one move had drastically shifted how the rest of this battle would be fought. However, one thing did jump out at you. Both Arlo and Thistle had evolved in the crash, and rose from the rubble with determination in their eyes, Quilladin and Sandslash, ready to finish the battle.

Spoiler

Show

I'll just note that this is what happens when two defensive specialists go at each other
Light red area on the map is rough terrain, that's reflected in the key as well

Arlo takes 50 Physical Rock Damage from the giant stones falling on him.
Thistle takes falling damage for 5 meters of falling (3 actually fallen and another 2 for the rough landing area).

If either of these would faint your Pokemon, they instead remain conscious with 1 tick of hit points left (and if they're at less than 1 tick of hp, bump them up to 1 tick). The wonders of evolution!

Let me know if you have any questions about what just happened

"Oh thank the gods," Adam says with palpable relief when Thistle, now a Quillidin, popped out of the rubble no worse for wear despite the nasty fall.

Dominic tries not to let it show but he's super relieved that Arlo shrugs his way out of the rubble. But his eyes visibly bug out when it's not the little sandshrew he knew but a big old sandslash. And Adam's pokemon evolved too. "Look! Look!" He says, gesticulating wildly at Adam had clearly already seen. "Arlo! Burrow through that rubble! Don't let him get away!"

"Well, if you insist," Adam quipped with a shrug, "Vine Whip with everything you've got!"

The Thistle took the claw like like a man before retaliating with a vine lash to cover it's escape once more.

The vine snaps roughly against the very tip of the sandslash's nose, stinging it. "I... Um... You can try a little harder than that." Dominic says, trying not to laugh as Arlo sneezes rapidly. "Arlo, close in and shake things up again!" The pokemon closes on its more clumsy feet and starts stamping on the ground, causing the whole thing to rumble in another quake.

"Well, Arlo's not making it easy; but I'm sure we can scrounge something up," he admitted bashfully as Thistle regained his footing, "Quick, before Arlo changes stances! he ordered as the Chespin went for another go, trying to slap the shrew with a Vine as he put more distance between them.

Dominic grins with a glint of mischief in his eye as the vine slides away off Arlo's extraordinarily tough hide. "Arlo! Let's do it again! Shake, rattle and rumble!" The sandslash matches the glint in his trainer's eye and moves towards the quilladin... before stomping on the ground and causing an even more intense quake than a moment ago.

Thistle and Adam groan in simultanous frustration as yet another glorious attack bounces off the shrews shell, and is forced to endure another earth quake. "Gotta admit, you've raised him well," Adam states as Thistle attempts to keep his distance while lashing out at Arko with greater fervor.
