The answer to what would happen when the two attacks collided was a simple one. Nothing. The powerful electric attack used by the flying rodent would overpower the wave of darkness easily, but when it tried to strike Aella's copy it would pass straight through the face, and strike the tree on the other side. What they saw before them was an illusion, a corruption of their perception. Things were not as they appeared, and that was going to make this a much more difficult battle.
">Heard it perhaps...but you have yet to experience the truth<" Oberon spat, but made hardly a move otherwise. Instead he merely floated in the air, awaiting the squirrel's second attempt at attacking him.

A bit of drool would run down the side of Almond's mouth as she kept staring upwards, completely and utterly gone. Ada would snap her fingers, her face contorted in this way in that as she tried to hold back the laughs. It's result in almost a kind of sly grin on her face, and the girl would hold up her right hand and snap her fingers, a bit of glitter coming out of the resulting motion and falling gently to the ground. The would cause a sort of reaction from the fisk, and she'd blink once before closing her mouth, sucking up the drool and looking forwards at the giant copy before her.
Shaking her tail, she'd suddenly take on a goofier expression, wincing and grinning like a mad man as the exclamation point shaped strip on her back began to spark. She'd shake her tail faster and faster, charging up the energy she needed before pointing her tail at the illusion and unleashing one great big Thunderbolt upon him. Oberon was just a copy, that much wouldn't save him from the sting!

The attack would collide with the same force that tore up the ground. The Zoroark would use that moment of distraction of ... surprise to streak forward as he sort to get closer to the source ..the creature he wanted to destroy in one move. His long tail would flick out behind him ...as he changed ..as the dark energy that he had crushed in his hand seemed to make his fur ripple as it shrunk into his skin and his tail grow thin and long with each step that he took.
By the time that either party thought to look past the attack he would be next to the Charmander. His skin the same reddish hue as every scar that nick that pokemon's hide would be found identical on his own. His eyes the same coloration as he even gave the same expression of pain from the hit ..or lack of ....as he flick out a single bit of flame. Identical to Fable, he stood side by Raven's side ..showing off the pain of the attack ...as he knew that with the pokemon flinched ...the other Charmander wouldn't be able to do anything to stop him. The Zoroark figured the boy would try and heal his pokemon after that attack and with the change in his form ...he would Snatch it away easily as the trainer would mistake him for the real thing. This was the thoughts of the pokemon as he didn't yet realize a very startling differences between them ...as he waited to see the expression on Raven's face when he healed the wrong pokemon thinking it is his precious ...slave.

Victoria would let out a puff of black smoke as she came back to the real world ...as Aella's tail flick in her irritation. She had missed, she had push back the attack but she had missed as the tree behind had a new scorch mark for the electric attack. The flying squirrel wasn't happy at all as Victoria would clamp a head to her head as she struggle to clear it.
"So, what are we doing again?"
She asked as Aella looked at her quite crossly.
(I am fighting for our lives against a 7 foot version of myself)
Aella would point with an eagerness that made the girl's head snap towards the offending creature.
"She kind of cute."
Victoria declares as Aella grimaces.
(Kinda ..isn't the word. Anyway ...let's deal with the problem in front of us.)
"So, the pokemon is hard to hit ....so let's try a move that doesn't require such a direct approach. Use, Air Slash."
She would tell her as the Aella got a evil grin on her face. That was her favorite move ...the move she had had from the time that she had joined with Victoria, and a move that had brought low quite a few pokemon. She saw no reason it would fail her now as Victoria would hold out her arm to the pokemon as she allowed her to take a flying leap upon it. Pushing her upwards high ...she seek to have the pokemon hit by slashing air as she flips once and flick her tail hard enough and fast enough to send the shockwave of current directly at the pokemon.
The hit would work, and hard, it was just as well that Ironclaw was a steel type or it could have been much, much worse.
But even then... this was already bad enough as she grimaced, trying to collect herself from that last attack, oblivious to the shouts and cries from behind her, when she'd regained her senses only to be attacked again with the same psychic attack!
She bit down harshly, feeling it against her, but she had to focus her thoughts away from what he showed he-
Her eyes widened at one image, one set of images in particular... they weren't vivid... they weren't explicit... something about them was more clear, more real than the others...
She looked to the Zoroark, and laughed, if only feebly whilst trying to fight off the attack. [Are you maybe revealing more than you meant to to me?]
It was a moment of weakness perhaps too much, when Ironclaw would find herself having let herself open, lingering on that one image had left her open for the rest of the Zoroark's attack and now, after only two hits, she fell to her knees, already at a critical level!
She couldn't move, she couldn't attack... but even if she couldn't make an attack at Jasmine's command... it seemed the girl however, was not so affected.
"Here!" She'd suddenly rush the Skarmory, almost dropping to her knees beside Ironclaw, not even bothering to use the spray of the Potion in hand, yanking the top off of it she tipped back Ironclaw's beak, the Skarmory not even offering any resistance as she'd pour it down her beak!
Ironclaw = 23 HP
Ironclaw hacked at the bitter taste that now filled her mouth, but her body was filled with new energy, but as she shook her head, she would turn to the girl there aside her. [Jasmine?]
"We're short on time here," The girl spoke, jumping over her own words, pointing the Skarmory's beak back towards the pseudo-Skarmory, "He's going to come right back at us and you need to be ready for it. Can you handle him this time?"
Ironclaw let her attention follow to the Zoroark there... silent without reply.
"Ironclaw, can you handle him still?" Jasmine asked, a bit more urgently.
But without a reply, up stood the steel-winged bird, stretching out her bladed feathers. [Don't give it another thought...]
There she stood, feet planted, awaiting whatever inevitable attack came now... [I don't plan to take it standing still this time.]
Theo went silent when the nightmare continue on talking. Something gripped inside of him then loosen. The fear turned into anger. "Shut up!" he shouted at the doppler in front of him. Theo had pushed his pain inside of him and now the nightmare's prod had made it resurfaced. The hatred, the resentment. "Strength? you call that strength? Throwing away everything around you simply because you fear the weakness they bring. Which is the coward one?" He wasn't listening to the doppler anymore as he shouted at it. Memories flashed in his mind, of the life he had in his home. The strict schooling and wound they had given him as if he was no more than a thing to be refined. Who is he to him? A weakness that he try to fix? He had enough of that. They won't control him. " Nobody get to decide what I do and what I become! Go away, you are not me. Neither are you the future "

The things which occurred within the next few moments of the battle would choose to completely topple Oberon's plans, acting on the numerous flaws upon which they were founded.
The first was a very simple thing really. Snatch didn't work that way. It was not a move which swiped the effects of an opponents items, but rather the moves normally directed a status rather then pure offence. The second problem was the fact that during his first assault the Zoroark had caused Fable to Flinch, incapacitating the little fire-type and making attack impossible. His flames had wavered for only an instant, but now it would take him some time to rebuild their power. Lastly, and most importantly...Raven and Fable both were filled with too much rage to construct a plan so clearly. Right here, right now, the thing the two of them wanted more then anything else was to hit the Zoroark squarely in the face, making the Dark-Type a permanent addition to the ground!
Starter Pokemon: Charmander [M] Name & Level: Fable, Lv 8 [Temperament] Quiet Bio: Raven first met Fable during his time living on the streets, finding the fire-tailed reptile in one of hundreds of alleys he'd been in. Battered, beaten, and bloodied, it was clear the Charmander had seen it's fair share of battles...and lost every single one. He bit Raven only five seconds after their initial encounter. Fable had lost all trust in humanity. Raven was never fully aware of the details, but the Charmander's former trainer had been abusive. He'd placed him in battles with impossible odds, expecting him to combat and defeat opponent after opponent with little to no rest...and when he lost, it was his trainer whom would personally add to the reptiles injuries. Finally tired of wasting his time on "some worthless newt" his trainer had abandoned him in the dirtiest alleyway he could find and just left him there. The boy hadn't even given him a name...at least not one he cared to repeat.
For days after that first encounter Raven returned to the alley, usually meeting with the same result; yet still he kept coming, sometimes he even brought food. It was generally scraps most likely out of the garbage, but it was food none the less. One day the Charmander finally asked why the child kept returning...not with words of course, but with his eyes. The curiosity at the boy's actions were clear in the reptiles gaze. Raven had said he saw a fire in Fables eyes that day when they first met, the desire to become truly powerful. More time passed after that, but the only thing which mattered after that point was the outcome. Even without a Pokeball the Charmander decided to follow the boy from that day forward, even earning the name Fable in the process. Raven would speak of spending the reward money on new clothes and a bath, but what was consistently leave out was the purchase of a single Pokeball. There was no need. Even without it, Fable would follow his trainer to the depths of hell and back.

By a mile. That was how much the attack might as well have missed by. Air would gather and slice through the body of the giant Aella...and again it would simply pass through, striking at the tree behind it. It was if the Zoroark wasn't even there...and in all likelihood he probably wasn't. Not really. His species were known for their deceptive and cunning nature, and as the pack leader all the more so. Once more black lighting would build around Aella's double, crackling and sparking violently before release itself in a wave. Another Dark Pulse.

">Everything has a purpose. Suffer as I have suffered, and then revel in your own demise<" Oberon stated coldly, still using Ironclaw's own beak, or rather a copy of it, to speak the words. Shadows gathered around the Zoroark, more then before, condensing and beginning to take on solidity. ">All the world is darkness. The light is only an illusion<" Grim words, and with them the Skarmory would open one wing, releasing the attack in a powerful wave. Dark Pulse.

The doppleganger chuckled at the boy's words, the pitch and tone quickly transforming to a hysterical cackle in a voice not his own. ">You're right child, it's not the future...because you'll never get that far!<" He roared, and all at once the illusion would collapse. Now standing before the young man was not himself, but a particularly large Zoroark, it's purple mane swaying in the breeze. Wordlessly the creature would reach into his fur, pulling free what at first appeared to be a large black shard of glass and thrusting it into his own heart. Rather then blood a fluid consistent with tar would trickle out, sizzling as it dripped to the ground. The Zoroark's form shifted, growing larger as darkness gathered all around him. His breathing became heavy, coming out in thick steaming gasps ">I...am Oberon...and...your end.<"

The doppler had revealed its true form once Theo had gotten over his problem. Theo backed away once it was clear that it was a pokemon he faced. When Oberon pulled out some glass thing, Theo backed away, alarmed. "wha-?"he watched dubiously as the zoroark thrust the shard to its own body. Darkness swirled around the pokemon, making it to grew larger to tower over them.
Theo felt deterred to fight such huge opponent, but he also knew he couldn't escape this battle. It would be futile to do so as his opponent had him in its territory. There was no other choice but to battle. "Midnight, go"Theo said to the litwick. It pained him that he had to send Midnight whose at disadvantage toward the dark fox, but he couldn't falter. The trainer had to retain their composure or it would affect the pokemon.

(You miss the fact that the zoroark is way bigger than Fable ....crying, and yes, I knew it would more than likely fail.)
The attack failed ...something that completely surprised Oberon as he looked down at himself. He was sure that it had been perfect, so what was the flaw. All of those things completely flew over the dark type's head as he wave his tail slowly. The flames dragging over the air as he smiled and showed off his fangs ...even in the charmander form.
>Seems I was in error, but no matter ....I will rip your head from your body anyway. <
He would gesture with his claws in a mimic of something familiar as he wave one paw in the come get him manner. He was ready for this pokemon's strike, he had so far discovered that his plans might have to be changed to work for him ...but he would make them work, and he would bring this group to their knees before he removed them from his sight and this world.
A devilish look leered on the faux Fable's face.
He stood ready to defend himself ...
>My kits will enjoy your blood for their milk<
He laughed at his own wit.

The attack would miss again as Aella gritted her teeth. She would swipe her tail from side to side as she showed for once her own irritation at her own ability or lack there is of it. She would close her eyes and flick her tails and ears in her own irritation. WHy couldn't she hit?
The thought froze her as ....Victoria's voice would seem to tear through hesitation ...the words ...in pieces for a moment as she screamed. It had taken too long to get through completely as she screamed again and again.
"...ge ..Aella dodge ...drive to me, AELLA!"
The flying squirrel would finally hear, the words rung in her mind. She would try and drop her stance. She would allow the winds to spill from her wings at all once as she tries to drop back to Victoria as the Dark Pulse arc through the air.
This was bad ...very bad, and she knew it as she hope to be able to lessen the attack instead of avoid it. She would curl up in the air into a ball her tail over her head, and her arms drawing the skin that made up her wings tight to her body as she tighten into a ball. She was plummeting at full speed as Victoria prepared to catch her partner.

The cry reached Aella's ears too late, her reaction to slow. Shadow would wash over her body, piercing straight to her soul and filling her core with the darkest of emotions. The hit was flawless, not an ounce more force then necessary. Luckily for Victoria the electric squirrel wasn't in any danger of losing her life, but she was certainly going to feel that one in the morning!
">Will you continue to resist?<" The Dark-Type asked, sounding rather amused as his form returned to it's natural state...at least for the moment.
