Paladin
Underground
Paladin stood and watched Allora as he recovered his strength from the Giga Impact. The gash in his right arm did not bleed, but instead released clouds of the unknown energy that filled the Golurk's body. When Allora's fight was over, the worry for her safety drained from him, and he focused more on his arm. The arm that had been hit was his dark one, and as such, clouds of seemingly green, gas-like energy escaped it. A sense of dread overcame Paladin, as he remembered that these clouds could be fatal to anyone who came near them. "Are you ok Paladin?" Allora asked. "I think my shoulder is dislocated. Can you pop it back in for me?" Paladin wanted to help his friend in need, but he knew that if she came near to the fumes, she would die a slow, painful death. "Stay away from me!" Paladin ordered the approaching Ninetales. He tried to cover the wound with his palm, but the lighter-than-air energy just continued pouring out, filling the tunnel around him with fatal gas.
In fear for both his friend's safety and his own, Paladin reached into his bag, looking for something to patch the wound up with. He began to feel weak, and he could hear a slight budging noise from his chest. His seal was being damaged. Normally, the energies inside a Golurk would harmlessly dissipate on contact with the oxygen all around them. However, the energies on the dark side of his body had become corrupted, and as such, were poisonous. "Get away, Allora!" he shouted desperately one last time, though he could no longer see the Shadow Protector through the thick fog created by the leaking energy. Finally, he managed to find a bandage inside his bag that he had forgotten was there. He quickly wrapped it around his arm, completely covering the gash created by the Armaldo's claw. Finally, after a few more moments, the gas around them vanished like it normally would, only leaving behind the awful smell of rotten eggs.
"Allora?" Paladin scanned the area for any signs of the Shadow Protector. He hoped she had managed to avoid getting caught by the energy by diving into the next tunnel. However, the entrance to the tunnel had collapsed somehow, possibly during the course of their fight. Now, the only way in was a small opening in the top-right corner of the rubble blocking the way. "Allora?!" Paladin shouted again, hoping for a response.
Veletra
Cape City
Veletra scanned her brain for another lie. She had apparently been able to make Snype believe her this time, but he still seemed suspicious. Nothing was being done for the Raichu writhing in pain, however, and Veletra watched as she finally fell into the darkness of death. Ignoring Snype's next question, she attempted once again to break free from her bonds. "You monster! She's dead!" she screamed pointlessly. She didn't know what else to say. The Raichu's death was not on her head, she reminded herself, it was Snype's doing. She couldn't kill him, or she'd have the entire army on her hands, and many more dead innocents. Keeping her angry, saddened expression, she formulated a lie as an answer to Snype's last question, "We...We knew you would be watching the sky, so I asked my friends Diglett and Dugtrio to..." she stuttered, pretending to be be reluctantly telling him this, "to create an entirely new tunnel in the tunnels beneath us, one leading away from Cape," she said. She took a moment to shed some tears for the fallen Raichu, and continued to lie. "He's far away by now, so you can call off this stupid little search!" Her expression strengthened. She had told the truth at one time, though. Paladin was hopefully far away by now. Hopefully.
