The Reuninclus, too, seems to have some bad luck, and doesn't anticipate the face-falling strategy - it's punch sails right over Cowball's head.

"I know we haven't worked much together, but I still believe in you! Larkspur believes in you too!" Mica called, and the Miltank answered, a ball of light forming over a hoof, which it tosses at the Reuniclus, exploding violently. (35 Normal Physical, backed by Scrappy)

Buoyed by confidence, the Miltank's swift toss smacks the Reuniclus smack in the face. It retaliates by trying to slam its head into Cowball, but isn't able to connect, still a little dazed from being hit before. Reuniclus takes an injury from Present. Reuniclus misses with Zen Headbutt.

Low as the Reuniclus is, it is an easy task for Cowball to throw her full bulk on top of the other Pokemon with a Body Slam (42 Normal Physical)

The Reuniclus arches back, and decides to go with the punches instead of headbutts once again, connecting with the bovine. She's worn down now, but not as much as the other Pokémon seems to be. It looks like one more good hit from her could finish the job. Cowball hits. Cowball takes 25 damage and an injury from Dizzy Punch.

With an aggressive lunge, the Miltank knocks the Mega Pokemon over and stomps on its midsection hard enough to make the psychic pokemon faint. She snorts twin clouds of steam before waddling over to Larkspur and using Milk Drink on the Tauros.

And with that, the battle is over, and the weather dies down to a silence. The leader lets the moment hang for a moment, before laughing and walking off with no explanation. He reappears a few moments later on the side of the battlefield that Donovan and Mica are on, and holds out his hand for shaking, before extending his other hand with two badges in it. "Good job, you two. That was close, but, man, did you pull through in the end." He nods, smiling. "I'm sure you'll be more than glad to have clear skies outside, though. Anyways, this is the Weather Badge. It will help protect your Pokémon from the elements, letting them fight in even the toughest conditions." "Also, you seem like kindred spirits. I like you kids. So, here's a little something of mine, that I like to use. It might help, it might just be a trick of the mind... but, some say that the smell of this incense gives people luck." Augustus shrugs, before pulling two bells of incense out of one of his pockets. "Whether you believe that or not is up to you, but, if you want to take them, feel free."
Each Trainer gains 1 milestone, 1500 EXP for their 'mon (none above level 30), the Weather badge, and a Luck Incense.
Weather Badge - Grants the Overcoat Ability.

Mica accepts the goods readily, practically shoving her nose into the incense. It wasn't as spicy as she expected it to be but it wasn't really bad either. She left Cowball tend to Larkspur as she liked, those two hadn't had time together in a long time. Donovan's expression said it all. "There are a lot of things that I couldn't do without you beside me, please don't forget that, okay?"
And then, she pet his hair.

Donovan takes a deep breath. He needed to change. Time and time again he was proving that he was just holding Mica back. Her noticing and trying to make him feel better just made it worse. Not only was he not able to help in any sort of fight, but now he was dragging her down outside of fights too..
"I know" He says quietly, pulling himself away "But there isn't stuff I can do on my own. I need to change that"

"Why?" Mica asked with wide eyed innocence. "We're a power couple right?" That probably wasn't what that meant. "Is this one of those boy things like growing hair all over? Rite of passage or whatever?" She blinked a few times, then bounded after him.

"It's not like that. I need to do it to know that I'm not just dragging you down." Donovan says once they're out of the gym. "Every time we battle in a gym, or in the Temples I just hold you back. Maybe I should go find a sensai of my own. Take a little break and get better at what makes me, me."
He sighs "We were gone for six months and nothing changed. Maybe we should take some time to make ourselves better. Prepare for whats coming ahead"

Not long after the pair gets outside, almost as if taunting Donovan, they feel a bit of a burning, fiery sensation within themselves. It's noticeable, but not painful. The cause of it seems to be the red lights arcing across the sky. Lights that match what happened when they obtained a Plate before.
The lights vanish, and so too does the feeling.

"I could be your senpai." Mica offers readily before falling silent with the distant burst of light. Fire and Fighting now. "... We should go do bug next... A place with a sense of community would be nice."

"I appreciate the offer, but that's not quite what I'm looking for" Donovan says before the light exploded in the sky. Why. Why did it keep happening like this. Anytime he thought about doing something to improve himself. Anytime he thought he had a way to make things better, SOMETHING happened.
"With how these places are, I expect more Hive Mind and less community. They'll hate us from the moment we enter. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to eat me as well." He sounded jaded, but began to walk off in the direction of the center "Let's get healed before we go"

"Well... Okay. We can take Drampa there... It'll be faster." Mica toddles after Donovan to the center and charts a course for the next temple.

After a brief stop off at the Center to heal - a time that seems to stretch on agonizingly far longer than it really took - the pair of Trainers begins to race off atop their noble steed. It's a journey that's significantly faster in the sky... though also very cold, and stops are needed every so often so as to not freeze to death. The night is a little warmer, being able to land by the ocean, though also fairly windy because of that. But, thankfully, likely because of the cold, nothing bothers the group overnight and they're able to continue in the morning, reaching the temple that Cyrene had labelled as Bug just as the sun is going down, and the last dregs of heat that could be eked out are disappearing. Once again, the pair dives into the rippling portal, to a world beyond. End Episode 8
