"Oh, really?" Cal asked, leaning closer until her amorphous face was right up against Puddle's. "Then maybe I should tell Owen that Vix could totally beat him up. Then we can go for a one on one, just like that!" It was unlikely that Owen would condone that kind of behavior.

Arceus was quiet just then, looking away. "...Not necessarily," he said.

"Not necessarily. If I can attract it and then strike it from afar... it should work out." Arceus didn't sound as confident in this. That was probably what his contingency planning was for. "...But even if I die," he admitted, "things will work out."

"Nice try!" Owen shouted, diving in the way of Starr's attack. But those flames... something about them burned more than usual. He wailed in surprise and pain, toppling over the ground and in front of Brisa as the aura of a Reviver washed over him. "Just as planned... haha..." It wasn't quite as...

"Hmhm!" Cal giggled, leaning forward. "Look at them go..." She glanced at Puddle. "Hey, does this settle the 'my dad can beat up your dad' thing? I know Vix isn't your dad but she's a candle so it's kinda close, right?"

"...That... may grant it more power and result in it exploding outright," Arceus said. "I plan to neutralize it, or attempt to, with my Judgement strike. If that doesn't do it, nothing will, at least on short notice."

"Unbelievable! Even after that attack, they're still going strong!" Incineroar hopped out of the way of a careening Fire Blast, though he seemed all too eager to get directly involved in watching the fight, totally unafraid of the attacks that crackled past him. "They're tough," Owen said...

Owen tried to smile, but it was hard with how Dave was acting. Still, if Shadow was anything to go by... Maybe in some way, Dave could get some help if Owen helped Shadow. At least, that's what he told himself. "Have a good rest, Dave. If you ever want to talk to me, I'm here to listen." And...

Owen grinned, nodding at Vix. "You know, it was still a good fight," he said. In truth, Vix had been considered a great threat, and that was why they'd focused on her first, though Astrid was no slouch either. But Brisa and Owen had practically rehearsed their scenarios before coming in. They'd...

Arceus blinked, looking at Nate, then outside at the ball of death, and then back at Nate. "What do you suppose counts as an adequate barrier?"

"That will be the ideal situation," Arceus replied, nodding. "I am going to perform some... energy trickery with my own aura to draw the attack toward me like a magnet. The draw should be strong enough that it will counter where Joule was originally aiming, but then I will have to get out of the...

Arceus suppressed a dark laugh. "If we destroyed that attack where it stood," he said, "it would level the city anyway. A strike like that can make a visible crater on the moon. ...What has me... uncertain is, I do not know how much damage Joule is truly capable of. So, I am making preparations...

"It's not about the power, but the size," Arceus said. "I'm going to draw it toward me as far away from any living space as possible. Most of the energy will dissipate, and I will be the only one within the blast radius. I could have Palkia or other distortion Pokemon to help... but they will be...

"Rrrgh..." As much as he liked the fact that the anger fed into him, he was still irritated at all the questions. Do everything right and nobody seems to notice, do one thing wrong and that's all he's known for... "...I misfired," Diyem replied flatly. But before Saltriv could get another word...

Astrid and Vix were quick to set themselves up for an attack, but Brisa and Owen had something completely different in mind. As the opponents tried to set up, the Fire-Electric duo rushed in with a massive onslaught.

Owen was beaming, his flame crackling to no end. He had seen Astrid and Vix fight, and with their offense and defense, he wasn't sure if they'd be able to break through before Astrid went crazy on the attacks. Or exploded. He wondered if Astrid had that in mind... Though he wasn't as boastful...

Owen sighed, still rubbing Shadow's back. "Sometimes people don't like being told something bluntly like that," he explained to Mia. "Well, a lot of people. It's something about how a lot of people think. It's kind of like if someone told you that because you behaved differently, then your brain...

"Congratulations, you know my past," Diyem replied. "But not my present. Frankly I'm surprised the team didn't inform you that I'd moved past that. I was defeated like any other Dark Matter, but... well. Here I am now. Atoning, I suppose."

"Only I can deflect an attack of this magnitude," Arceus said, though there was a glint in his eye at Nate's concern. "...But do not think I intend to sacrifice myself so readily. A little city-leveling attack isn't enough to get rid of me. I'm making plans and weighing my odds..." But then, his...

Arceus nodded. "Yes. I will... be taking the blow for you. I have a technique that will divert the attack away from everything, but it still has to hit something."
