Sitting in the far corner of the room below, a Hypno decided it would no longer sit idle. It had been forced to hide in the dark corner of the room for now, its only function having been to hand Diana her tablet. He was evidently displeased with waiting, and took a step out of the dark. He was surprised to see there was still a girl lying still in the room. She peaked his curiosity, and he began to move closer to her. Unfortunately for Carissa, she was too weak to even protest. She continued staring at the Hypno as it came closer, shivering more and more with each step. The Hypno was incredibly smart after years of brainwashing acolytes and learning new things from Diana. So, thinking like Diana would, he scooped up Carissa and swung her over his shoulder. Carissa cried and screamed, kicking feebly at the yellow pokemon. He released a psychic pulse, rooting everyone to the ground in which they stood so that he could join them unharmed. One footstep to the next, Hypno ascended the stairs to the roof.
However, the rocks from the Rock Tomb still were flying and the fire from Lockhart was too. Hypno, unlike his tedious walking patterns, was sharp and quick in the mind. He put a protective barrier around Scizor, shielding his ally from the attack. Next was to guard Diana. The Hypno raised his pendulum and it began to shake back and forth. As the rocks approached the seemingly fearless Diana, they suddenly stopped. Another swing of the pendulum and they began to fly sporadically across the roof, with no direct target. He then began to walk closer to Diana, despite Carissa's screams. Once he reached her, he stopped and turned around to face Diana. She was proud of her big hypnotist and gave him a tough pat on the back. The tablet once again lit up, this time displaying the Hypno, captioned, "The Brainwasher." The swinging of the pendulum stopped, and the roots that held Team Dusk to the ground disappeared and they were free to move around as they pleased.
Diana chuckled and held her hands up to her mouth. "Now it looks like we've leveled the playing field. You guys don't like to fight fairly, do you?"
