Elio had to bite back an apology at the exclamation of him almost hitting the stranger. Even when he was upset, he still didn’t want to hurt anyone else.. Why did he have to be so soft?
Viator raised his head at the garbled sound, and narrowed his eyes with a grin. There. That must be where the beast was, and if he hit the stranger well.. Who cared? They had fired first, so he is happy to ensure that the duo leave. Jaws part and with another screech, he lot out a quick barrage of shadow balls. They weren’t large, much smaller than usual. It was less to do with hurting, more to do with locating.
He’d charge it when he had a clearer indication of it’s location. His ears twitch, and he strained to hear.
Elio glanced around, desperate to see something. The mist was clearing, it would be gone soon. That meant they wouldn’t be so exposed, Elio shifted and took a few steps forward.
The shadow ball cut through the mist, and Elio didn’t have a moment to dodge. In reflex, he bought both arms in front his face to shield himself. The hit was intensely cold, leaving him with a chill that burned and the force knocked him to the ground. With a grunt, Elio glanced at his arms now red and bleeding. There was no warmth, there was cold and he could only shudder.
Hopefully it’d wear off soon.
“N - No! I wo - would ke - keep fighting! I wo - would avenge my friends! W - we’re aren’t alike!” He shouted, baring his teeth as his whole body shuddered from the ghostly effects. Soon the cold and numbness would faint to stinging and pain.
“Y - You could ke - keep fighting them! Y - You do - don’t have to jo - join them!”
oh? oh? was that a direct hit they heard? ❝ shadow ball stings real bad, right? all icy hot and junk! ❞
speaking of shadow ball, several of the smaller variants whizzed through the mist without any sort of reaction— all of them, in fact, save for one. perhaps if dionne was paying a bit more attention to their ultra beast, they would have done something in retaliation. ( taken advantage of the silvally’s efforts to play yet another nasty trick. ) however, as things were, they seemed a bit more concerned with the conversation they were having with elio. ( it seemed their inability to stop running their mouth was something of a weakness. )
❝ keep fighting! keep fighting! ❞ dionne called out in a mocking voice. ❝ it always sounds so easy when you put it like that! all heroic and junk... but what happens when you’ve just got nothing left to fight for, huh? ❞ there was a faint warble as the blacephalon looked to them ( as best it could look at anything ) for orders, but dionne ignored the ultra beast. ❝ what happens when the whole world is all ash and rubble and the only choice you’ve got is either sit there or fall in with the winning team? ❞
a laugh, weaker than the others that came before it. ❝ ah, what a shame... this game isn’t so fun anymore. ❞
