Ira jumps a little as he realizes the little ghost has returned. This thing again. What does it want this time?
He tenses up, ready to act about whatever happens.

Zossie bends over, petting the little Pokemon on the head, saying "Ohmigawsh, aren't you just the cutest little thing??" As she tries to hug it, Marshadow sinks into Kane's shadow, becoming one with it and escaping Zossie's affections. When you look around, you see Marshadow again, this time in Ira's shadow, tugging on his coat and pointing up at Brandon and company. It meeps pathetically and waves its arms about, but you're not sure what it's communicating...

"Marshy! You're back!" Elise said enthusiastically.
"Right, right. He's a little shy though." She'd smile as Zossie shows interest the Marshadow.
"Come on out Marshy. Zossie's alright. She won't hurt you. Oh what do you mean? Are you pointing at something?" Elise tried to talk against her brother's shadow, knowing that Marshadow was somewhere hidden inside.

Marshadow points again, meeping. When you look a second time, you see Brandon open a cage he had set upon the ground. Out of it steps what looks like a Marowak- but it's not like any Marowak any of you have ever seen. It's black instead of brown, longer and leaner, with a longer bone that looks almost like a sword. When it turns to face Brandon, you see bone-like patterns upon its back- and some kind of device connected to its spine and skull. Lydia asks something you can't hear- but the wind shifts enough for you to hear Brandon say "...insurance, just in case. We'll take him with us if nothing happens." Zossie looks furious. "What's he doing with that? Those are for criminals!" she growls. Huggy does its best to look fierce- but just looks cuter instead.

Ira takes a deep breath to calm down before looking at Zossie. "What? What's he doing?"

Zossie points to the device. "Where me and Brandon come from, we use those mind control devices on criminals who always try and escape. It puts them into a kind of sleep, where cops can control them by speaking to them. We call them sleepwalkers or zombies, because of how they move. They are not supposed to be used on non-humans, and certainly not by Brandon! Ooooh, this needs to be stopped!" Now that Zossie mentions it, this Marowak does seem to be moving like a zombie from a movie, like in Afternoon of the Living Dead. And it doesn't seem to take any actions beyond what Brandon gives it. The Marowak in question: Alolan variation, just for Kane! Kane: Brandon has seized control of a brave and courageous warrior, much like yourself! This is truly an outrage- like literally the only thing that would be worse is if he professed an active hatred of Nio! His name may be silly, but this is beyond belief! He must be stopped! Ira: Could something like this be used against you? What's stopping Brandon from sneaking into Grandpa's house and attaching one of these things to you? Elise: Looking again, this mind control may not be perfect- Marowak seems to be crying, as if it's aware of what's being done to it, and it is powerless to stop it.

If things weren't so dire Elise would probably be impressed by how cool that Marowak looked. However, she could not ignore the cries of pain on the poor pokémon.
"Come, we have to stop this!" Elise says as she starts to move towards the house. No matter what, this madness had to stop. One way or the other.

Ira's eye twitches a little as he feels a little sick at the prospect. Controlling someone else's mind for your own gain, while a monstrous thing to do, is at least understandable. Doing it out of a sense of justice is just messed up.
Ira glares a little as Zossie. "Where you come from? Must be a real sick place. And I'm not about to let that spread over here - let's do this."

Zossie shrugs expressively. "Well, it's not used on everyone," she says. "And only the police are allowed to use the devices. Brandon using it is kinda sorta like a psychic mind controlling someone." She toddles after Elise, followed closely by Huggy, who looks angrily at Brandon. The albino, for his part, doesn't seem to have noticed you- nor have his 'mon or his minions.

Kane's shouting alerts Brandon to your presence. He faces you, seeing you all plod towards him. "You really are following me!" he shouts, unbelieving. "Seriously, get a hobby! Like skateboarding, or windsurfing, or..." his voice trails off, and the expression of annoyance changes to shock and concern as he beholds Zossie toddling along beside you all. You see him mouth "They found me," before turning to Conrad and Lydia and shouting "Get this thing loaded, quick!" The twosome are confused. "Wait, what?" Conrad asks quizzically. "Can't you handle them?" "It's not them I'm worried about! It's her!" Brandon points to Zossie. The young girl smiles maliciously at Brandon; you'd have no trouble believing she'd sprout fangs if she could, to add to Brandon's worries. "Heya, Brandy!" she says gleefully, waving at him. "It's time to take you ho-ome!" Brandon stick two fingers in his mouth and lets out an ear-piercing whistle. A swarm of half a dozen Magnemite swoop down, form a loop around Zossie's waist, and drag her back towards Brandon. Before you can move to stop them, the Marowak leaps off the cliff, doing an anime-ninja landing in front of you all. It defiantly draws a line in the sand before settling into a swordsman's pose, green spirit flames lighting up its bone. Beyond, you can see Brandon yelling at Zossie, saying something that sounds like "I'm never going back! Do you hear me!? Never!!" Huggy is trying to get to its mistress, but two angry-looking Magneton block its way. As you prepare to fight, you notice that you, and all of your Pokemon, are surrounded by a greenish aura, similar in color to the flames coating Marowak's bone.
Time to fight. Two things to note: 1. Marowak has the boss template, has three health bars, and can take three turns; when one health bar is depleted, it is flinched for one of its turn, and becomes Vulnerable until it's damaged. 2. Marshadow has granted you and your teams additional power. You and all of your Pokemon that are currently not Knocked Out are restored to full health, and have all combat stages boosted to +6. These stages can be lowered, as normal.

Dragging its flaming club in the sand, the Marowak charges! Sliding to a spinning stop, it flings a globule of fire at Tropius, smacking the flying tree dinosaur square in the flank, setting it aflame. Tropius lets out a cry of alarm as it feels the touch of one of its greatest fears: fire. Marowak used Will-O-Wisp. Tropius is now burned! What will Elise do?

Elise reminded how the noise earlier seemed to have an effect on the brainwashed pokemon. Maybe it would work here as well?
She ran forward, took her guitar and played the most horrible notes an ear could hear to try to confuse the Marrowak.
"Stop it we're trying to help you!"

Marowak clutches at its head in pain, the signal from the device conflicting with the noise Elise was playing. When it looks at you anew, you see it is disoriented, confused. Above it all, you see Zossie has gotten one arm free and is currently wagging her finger at Brandon, like a parent lecturing a child. Though you can't hear what she's saying, Brandon looks nonplussed at being lectured by someone clearly his junior. Marowak is confused. It is now Chase's turn.

Daisy keeps cover behind the tropius. Meanwhile she prepares a bunch of doubles.

Tropius recoils back from the blast of fire, his massive wings flapping as he does. The movement hurts, but the force he puts behind it is considerable and sends a blast of air at Marowak.

Marowak is slammed, hard, actually staggering backwards as Tropius blows sand around it the winds from the Gust compound the force of the wind blowing from the ocean. The flames on its bone flicker, but flare up as the excess wind dies down. Thunder rumbles ominously overhead, and you see Konrad and Lydia look up at the sky nervously. Tropius' crit, coupled with the wind's strength and direction, actually knocked Marowak back 2 meters. Takumi/Kane/Ira are next, in any order.

Marowak seems to take more damage than it should from Bubble, sinking to one knee. As it seems ready to keel over, the device on its back whirrs and hums, and that spark returns to its eyes. It stands again, injured and swaying precariously, but still ready to go. Rotomdex flies in front of Kane, excitedly shouting " Do that again! It's an Alolan Marowak, so it's vulnerable to water!" It depicts an image of the Alolan Marowak, saying " Alolan Marowak are Ghost and Fire types, and use the spirits of their dead mothers as strength to fuel their attacks! They are honorable warriors who form an unbreakable bond with their friends! If we help it be free, it might think we're its friends!" Marowak is flinched during its next turn and is Vulnerable until it is damaged. It is now Ira's turn.

Ira sees Tropius reel back and runs in front of him, putting himself between him and Marowak. He locks eyes with Marowak, knowing that it's not going to stop, but that it might just hesitate. Standard: Leer on Marowak, lowering Defense by 1 CS Swift: Spend 1 AP to use Roughneck on Marowak, lowering Special Defence by 1 CS
