Carissa stood outside the doorway as Jory entered. She took out the Luxury Ball that held her longtime friend. Go get 'em darling. I believe you can do this. Carissa pressed her forehead to the cold shell. She held the ball in her hand as she entered the room. Without a moment's hesitation, Carissa launched Lila near the back of the room. She came out of her pokeball rather aggravated that she had almost toppled a bookshelf unintentionally. Her eyes lifted to match Carissa's across the room. Lila's ruby eyes glimmered and then she gave a nod to Carissa, signaling it was time to destroy these acolytes.
Carissa's attention was drawn away from her partner by a group of approaching acolytes. Two were incredibly tall, towering over Carissa by probably over a whole foot. The other was perhaps a few inches shorter than Carissa. Before a single attack was thrown, Carissa scanned their belts. None of them have a pokeball on them? Why is that? Just over the tallest acolyte's head, Carissa was able to see a group of three pokemon approaching Carissa. She would have been glad to see what they were, but the acolytes were approaching. One of the taller ones, a girl with long blond hair tied in a poor excuse for a ponytail, lunged forward at Carissa, following her poorly executed punch. Carissa took advantage of the acolytes poor performance and countered. She struck the girl's arm upward with a swift block before jumping and launching a webbed hand towards the girl's throat. The acolyte sputtered and choked while Carissa grabbed her inner elbow an placed her leg swiftly behind the acolyte's. In a speedy motion, Carissa threw her leg at the back of the acolyte's, causing her legs to crumble. Carissa was far less than gentle when she stepped over the girl to approach her next attacker. The shortest girl was throwing out a kick that would surely hurt Carissa if she didn't act quickly. She reversed her direction, stepping back with her left foot, preparing herself for the attack. When it was close enough, Carissa grabbed the acolytes ankle, stopping the kick, and twisted it causing her body to make a complete rotation. One harsh kick and the acolyte was lying stomach down on the floor. The last girl, the tallest had positioned herself just out of Carissa's view during her fight. Within seconds, the acolyte threw a punch straight at Carissa's stomach. She fell forwards, holding her hand to her stomach in pain. But it wasn't for long. Carissa had to think quickly or else she could be severely hurt. She threw herself onto her back, getting a better view of the girl. She had short red hair and a smirk that rivaled that of a Gengar. Carissa could no longer look at the girl's face as the acolyte's incoming fist blocked her view. Carissa wrapped her legs around both sides of the girl's legs, and then rolled, causing the acolyte to tumble to the ground. Carissa got up quickly and threw one swift kick to the girl's face, leaving her unconscious. Carissa threw herself against the wall. "Wanna come out now, Lealia? Or did I accidentally knock you out already?" She threw out a smile and winced, feeling the pain come back from the fight.
Meanwhile Lila was holding her own incredibly well against the three pokemon. The assaulting team consisted of an Excadrill, Gliscor, and a Sceptile. The first to strike was the Sceptile. He launched a vicious tempest of leaves at Lila. The leaves struck her harshly, leaving scrapes and cuts all over her. But as she was taking the attack, her body began to gleam, and when the onslaught had finished, a beam of light shot out of Milotic, reflecting back incredible amounts of damage. The Sceptile was out cold on the floor. Next came the Gliscor, but he wasn't much of a trouble. Just like the Noivern on the previous floor, Lila was unamused and shot an Ice Beam, crippling the pokemon mid-flight and causing it to faint upon impact with the floor. The last was Excadrill. Lila lead off with a Scald. The Excadrill took the attack and reduced its damage by shielding itself with its steeled claws. It then began to lunge at Lila, its iron helmet glowing. Lila didn't hesitate and snaked her tail behind one of the bookshelves. Her tail began to glow a ghastly purple and she launched the bookshelf at the Excadrill. The Excadrill wasn't prepared and was suddenly buried under a mound of books. Lila then looked up to see Carissa was hurt. However, she knew she could not do much from here, and instead, used her healing capabilities on herself.
