After a couple more moments of harsh breathing the young boy lost consciousnesses from, like said before, over exserition of Mental and Physical capabilities. but at leas this breathing was back to a slow steady pace. when he said he would 'rest later' he wasn't expecting later to come so soon, but for the moment he was safe in his little world of dreams.
by now Iron Hide had calmed down, now sitting next to his trainer was a reassuring comfort. But he couldent sit there for too long for even he knew that his trainer needed to be moved from this place. No, he would wait untill Avan was done doing what he was doing and then would nudge the older trainers leg and walk over to the un-conscious boy insinuating that he would like help placing Tk onto his back so that he might be transported from this hellish place.

((Ending things for Takamaru, Avan and David.))
Then, for the trio, Avan, David and Takamaru, came the pressure that Robert had felt before. Like a weight being put on their actions, telling them not to move. Approaching from the darkness of night, illuminated only by the moon and stars, came the robed Sage, Gorm, followed by his Grunts and Mienshao, all of whom carried the unconscious. Gorm himself, in one arm, carried the lifeless form of Olesya.
"That will be enough," boomed Gorm's voice, so loud and full of authority that it put an end to David's battle, to the grunt's movements.
He approached as they turned and spoke sternly, "return your Pokemon as well as Becca's, and then we will be departing," he said. His eyes then briefly fell upon David and the Munna. Handing off the corpse and the unconscious forms he carried to the male grunt, leaving the woman to fetch Becca, Gorm turned to David. From his robes he produced three full restores, tossing them over, two for his Pokemon and one for Munna.
Then, as he turned to Avan and Takamaru, he would do the same, tossing them full restores for their released Pokemon. With a nod of his head, then, he would depart, bringing an end to things in the Dream Yard, unless anyone had the stupidity to stop him.
***
Meanwhile, Henrietta was in agony, agony that Eunmi would be aware of as Henrietta squeezed her hand as tightly as she could. A whimper and a cry of pain where things turned up and soon it would be over. The healing pulse tingled as it helped heal her arm and Henrietta leaned on her good one, her hand still holding tightly to Eunmi's as she shook.
"Th-thank you," she managed to say.

If he was in top fighting form, Liuye Dao may have been able to cancel out Gothorita’s Thunder Wave with his own. But he simply wasn’t, and the electricity coursed through his body and stiffened his muscles. Liuye dropped to one knee from the paralysis, cursing himself in his head for once again failing to keep the promises he had made with Salieri’s mother. Salieri, I keep on failing you…
It seemed like Salieri was getting somewhere with Wayne umtil he squirmed out of her grip and slammed back to the ground. Was this another bizarre trick of the Psychic type? She and her team had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. As Wayne’s body went down, Gothorita came into view and Chen Zhen jumped up.
With his shoulder, he rammed into Salieri’s side, knocking the girl to the ground when the blade came in. The Psyshock sword exploded on the Pansage’s body, sending him flying into the outer wall of the Dreamyard. He crumpled to the ground, panting heavily. Unlike Salem and Liuye Dao, he hadn’t taken much damage from the battles before. But he was still tired since he had never been fully healed, and he couldn’t fight Gothorita to the fullest with Wayne and Salieri in the middle as liabilities. The situation looked poor.
After hearing the small explosion, Salem turned her head over the wall to see the aftermath. It seemed that Chen Zhen had taken the bullet for Salieri. This was a stupid plan from the beginning, she thought with her nose wrinkled. There's got to be a better way to handle this.
Salieri rolled to her feet and stood up quickly, facing down the Gothorita. She flicked her nose with her thumb and went into a fighting position, which was a relaxed Jeet Kune Do stance. “I’m not…I’m not afraid of you,” she growled shakily. She had fought Psychic people before, but never a Psychic pokemon. “I already let one Plasma grunt get what he wanted today. I’m not letting you have Wayne, too. So back away from my friend, Gothorita.”

"Oww," Eunmi murmured, resisting the urge to tear her hand free. She knew Henrietta was feeling awful - she definitely needed the support. So instead, she cautiously began to rise to her feet, assisting Henrietta in the same.
"...alright, let's go get our Pokemon," Eunmi replied, hoping that the deal they had struck with the Musharna was still intact - they couldn't afford another beating tonight.

"Right," Henrietta said and she cast her gaze skyward as the sunny day began to fade, the dimming light bringing them closer to pitch black darkness. "W-we should go fast," Henrietta said and she turned to Eunmi and, almost as if she'd forgotten, quickly released her hand.
Then she looked to Shery, "I feel great now, th-thank you," she said. She still felt tired, fragile. She needed sleep, she thought, twelve hours of it.

No.
Wayne was eating dirt, face down, arms bound behind his back. He grit his teeth, watching the battle.
No.
Gothorita landed as she sent Chen Zhen flying. She turned her head to look at Salieri, her body sideways. With a flick of her arm, the pokémon generated another Psyshock blade.
She turned fully and started walking.
Wayne felt his every bone solid in place, refusing to budge no matter how hard he tried. He growled, not really aware of it, just the burning sensation behind his eyes.
Gothorita used Telekinesis on herself again, shooting through the air with her blade drawn to the side.
No!
The pokémon was upon her prey. Her gleaming pink psychic sword swinging inwardly. She stopped. Her head splitting open as Wayne Lee rushed in front of her, striking skull to skull and sending the psychic flying back.
"Now!" Wayne roared, eyes scrunched up. Gothorita's eyes opened wide. Her view of the starlight was marred by a single object far above her. It whipped down with crushing speed and intense force. Hitmonlee's diamond-hard foot came down on her skull.
Earthquake snapped her head to the ground, her body following a moment later. The force generated quakes and Wayne fell to his knees, forehead bleeding from a split. His body ached, as if it had torn itself apart. He panted, choking for breath as sweat swelled across his body.
Hitmonlee took his foot back, standing beside Gothorita's body. Earthquake usually involved striking the ground with enough force to cause it to shudder. He'd opted to make the opponent's head the main target first. His eyes narrowed as he inspect the downed psychic type, only to open wide in shock when her own stared back at him.
Psyshock regenerated and she sliced across with her arm, ripping into Hitmonlee's chest, the blast blowing him away in defeat. The Fight type bounced as he struck the ground unconscious. Gothorita rose slowly through Telekinesis, her head and arms hanging. She was tired but not beaten. The psychic looked over her shoulder to the two humans, blood streaming from a cut next to her eye as if she were crying red.
"No... no way," Wayne uttered, on his knees, watching the psychic desperately. She created another Psyshock.
***
Earthquake's tremors reached the crew. The ground shook, threatening to throw the trainers off balance, onto the floor. Debris and rubble from the ruined Dreamyard facility. A loud crashing from one of the corridors, a blasting cloud of dust from its direction; some parts of the building were beginning to crumble.
"What the heck?" Shery spluttered as she fought to stay upright. Her eyes wide, she turned to the trainers, "Well wherever the pokémon are, we better find them fast - this whole place could come down!"

Robert jumped to his feet as the ceiling started to crumble above him. "Beatrix, Freya, use Psychic to create a protective dome around us and the Munna!" Robert called out. The Lucario and Gardevoir joined hands and focused psychic energies, creating a strong domed barrier. The barrier would deflect falling rock and debris off to the side, protecting Robert, the Munna and themselves. Once the earthquake subsided, the two Pokemon would release their barrier, both seemingly drained from such a sustained use of such a powerful move. "Just what the hell is going on up there?" he spoke before looking around at the Munna herd. "Are you all alright?".

"Right," Eunmi said, pulling Henrietta along with her. She had no idea where they were now, since they'd fallen down a hole, but it didn't matter. They would have to move quickly and risk any wrong turns, using Eunmi's dim flashlight to try and navigate.
The underground portion of the dream yard was virtually a labyrinth. It appeared to be some sort of abandoned research facility, pipes lining the ceiling, a steady dripping sound coming from some place in the distance. Occasionally, a squeaking sound could be heard, and eventually they found out what that sound meant. The strain of the building's crumbling structure was threatening to collapse upon itself, and on more than one instance, Eunmi found herself pulling Henrietta forward as they sprinted out from beneath crumbling rock.
And... some time later, after discovering a stairwell, they would find themselves in the right direction, much to Eunmi's relief (Henrietta probably wasn't going to be able to take much more running around). From a distance, it was easy to tell this was the place. What appeared to be dozens of fainted and beaten Munna, in addition to the larger Musharna, lay in defeat across the hall.
"...what the..."
((I dunno if Robby and Shery came with, but they are welcome to have come too.))

Henrietta was out of breath, panting and sweaty. She felt her hair and clothes stuck to her skin. Despite the lack of wounds, she still had blood caked onto her leg and arms and dirt from two falls into the dream yard's facility courtesy of Kijin's Purrloin and Robby's battle with gravity.
While she'd released Eunmi's before she'd tightened her grip again once the other girl had started running and now she was bent over, hand lightly holding on to Eunmi's as her free hand rested on one knee. Finally, she looked up into the dimly lit hallway. Behind them, from here, lay where they originally came from, the hole where the tree had fallen. There wouldn't be any way to get to there from here.
However, Robert, Saden and Takamaru had all come from the sides, which meant that one of the doors in this particular hall lead to the surface. Henrietta made note of the fallen Munna and the broken, dead, organs out of mouth Musharna and she felt sick. The stench of it hit her nostrils and she cringed and then her eyes fell upon Robert.
"Wh-what h-happened?" she asked, her voice shaky. Had Robert done this? Was he a murderer, like Takamaru?

Robby did indeed have a scathing review for Shery as the place began collapsing, just before he started moving. "Y'know, that coulda been faster. Like in the shows or something." And then he began to move.
Unlike the epic dodging of Henrietta and Eunmi, Robby moved at a fairly slow pace that didn't require such things. Why? The debris that hit him would bounce off his fat, dealing less damage than even the grunt before had done. As he moved, he continued eating his chips, and pulled out a piece of debris. He stared a moment, bit it, finding it inedible, threw it away.
Then Robby continued eating chips. Also escaping.

((When exactly did the Munna and Musharna near me die? You would think such a thing would have been mentioned earlier considering the fact that the sage healed the Munna with full revives >.>))
Robert looked over to Henneritta as she asked what had happened. "We were attacked by some guy with a strange Pokemon I've never seen before. He attacked the Munna and I fought him. But the wierd thing is, he stopped fighting me and healed the surviving Munna. My Pokemon and I just finished protecting the survivors from some sort of Earthquake. We need to get these Munna out of here before the whole place collapses." Robert replied in a stern tone of voice. "Get the Pokemon you guys left here and help me carry some of these Munna to the surface. It isn't safe to stay here any longer."

"That. Is..." Shery paused, her nose pinched making her voice very nasal. She remembered her professional courtesy, "Really unfortunate."
And really gross and stinking of s**t. Dead Musharna? Ew. Regardless, she followed Robert's orders and picked up a Munna, holding its squirming, terrified, fat pink sack of a body close to her chest. She looked between Henrietta, Eunmi and Robby.
"...so where are your pokémon?"

And as the rest of the crew were panicking as they tried to escape the collapsing Dream Yard, Luka McFly drifted off into the depths of his dreams where nothing could or would stop him.
((And now, I can go on my ridiculously mad string of work shifts AND go on holiday. I'll do my best to keep up, but.... hopefully I have enough time to get through Striaton and back for the Nacrene event. XD))

Suddenly a manifestation of his father appeared in Luka's dream.
"You're not going anywhere, you little b***h."
