"BLU, SWERVE IT!" yelled Selene as she watched in horror as the twister attack was launched. Yes, now they knew which one was the real Dratini, but it wouldn't do much good if Blu was torn apart inside the twister. Blu kept charging forward, the blue aura of his facade attack crackling, and Selene wasn't sure if he had heard or not. "BLU! DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO SWERVE IT, IT'S TOO BIG! FLY UP AND BACK! WE'LL GET ANOTHER SHOT!" but again Blu carried on, ignoring Selene. She looked round at Ri and Ryan and they shrugged, not knowing what was going on. Blu was not the type of pokemon to ignore a trainer's command, yet they knew his hearing was good enough for him to have heard Selene's shout.
Blu heard Selene. He heard the shout. He chose not to listen. Yes he was handicapped by the paralysis, and yes twister was a formidable attack mid-flight but he felt the power surging through him from the facade attack that hadn't yet hit and the protection of his safeguard, that more than made up for the paralysis. He just knew that he could clear the Twister. He slammed the twister head on, diving right into the centre of the stormy winds. He felt himself getting blown off course and the winds attempting to blow him down and rip him apart but he felt the aura burning around him and it helped him push forward. The winds were growing though, he kept striving forward, eyes jammed shut.
Selene dropped to her knees as she waited for either the twister to subside or for Blu to fall out, ghosts of tears welling up in her eyes. "Blu...why...oh Please, God...please." she begged, as Ri placed a hand on her arm, looking round at Ryan, fear etched on both their faces. Suddenly, Blu dove out of the other side of the twister, seeming shaken with one wing apparently moving with difficulty. But on he drove, and he was so close to Dratini, he didn't see how his attack could miss.
Selene screamed, leaping into the air and punching upwards. "YES! BLU! GO FOR IT BLU!" she knew that facade must be a powerful attack. She had been hopeless for a moment, given Blu's paralysis, however she knew that he had the power to pull through. Her Blu had more power than people gave him credit for. "Now it's just a case of staying close enough to Dratini to pummel it...not letting up, relentless attack and aggression...WE CAN DO THIS BLU!" she yelled, her confidence renewed and her belief in Blu drove her onwards, and this same spirit filled Ryan and Ri. She watched as Blu was mere inches away from Dratini, praying under her breath.
