The Solrock seems to take the attacks well, with the psychic residue helping to absorb the blows. It's chipped, battered... but still floating there. And so it backs up slightly... before dropping a torrent of rocks on the two bugs. The moon tries to follow up with a similar attack... but it misses. Solrock is hit by Bug Bite. It's super effective! Solrock is hit by First Impression. It's super effective!
Solrock Disengages. Nomus takes 37 damage, an injury, and Flinches from Rock Slide. Baied takes 19 damage and Flinches from Rock Slide. Lunatone misses with Psychic Slide.

I'm not going to say it was damage, but it was damage.

"Baied keep it up, you're doing great, let's tap into those good meals we sprung for too." Baied hits with Bug Bite on Solrock for another 40 Bug Physical, then both it and Nomus rush the Lunatone with a burst of speed from their Custap berries, latching onto the moon with all the voracity they can muster (40 and 43 Bug Physical, gaining 10 DR each.)

The sun falls from the sky, and the moon takes a lot of damage... but it's still up. It takes advantage of the bugs' exhaustion, gathering up power while the defenses of the bugs fall... only to unleash a gemstone attack on Baied, felling the battery at last. Solrock Faints from Bug Bite. Lunatone is hit by Bug Bite. It's super effective! Lunatone takes an injury from Bug Bite. It's super effective!
Lunatone uses Cosmic Power. Nova triggers Force of Will. Lunatone uses Cosmic Power.
Charjabug takes 28 damage, an injury, and Faints from Power Gem.

Beatrice considers the final obstacle with an air of concern as it fills the air around it with stars and planets, seeming to draw on the power of these illusory celestial bodies. Nomus gets distracted by the moving shapes and can't manage to connect his attack, but Dynast, still fresh, seizes the moon, soars skyward, performs an impressive aerial maneuver and hurls the moon to the earth. Beatrice waits as the dust settles and the stag beetle lands heavily.

"Oh, hmm, is it over already?" Nova asks, as she recalls her Pokémon. "Well... that's a shame. I made some lapses in judgement throughout, but... if you have no room to improve, what is the point?""Well, congratulations, and all that," she says, laughing. "I don't really do 'formal' well, so let me just go and grab your prize stuff." She heads back to her chair and rummages through a bag. "Ah, here we go. The Celestial Badge, representative of... I dunno, really, I just like the runic galaxy look. There's really no greater purpose." She shrugs, grinning. "Indicative of... the enigmatic mysteries the future hols, and the fact that nobody can learn everything. Or something. Make up what you want, really. I don't care." She hands over the badge, and some money. "You're supposed to have something that means something to you, like a TM or whatever... but, honestly, half the time it'll just sit around collecting dust because nobody can properly use it. Might as well just let you choose what you want."You got the Celestial Badge (grants the Perception Ability)! And 5k pyen! And 3 Milestones, because, oops, TL is rather falling behind! You also gain 1500 Pokémon experience.

"That's fair, I'll make good use of the funds on my journey either way. The next step is a big one after all, I'd like to think I'm entering Act 3, where the protagonist undergoes a catalyzing period of transformation and growth, but... we'll see. Mossdeep's gym is going to be a footnote, and I've plenty to take care of before I see if I can manage the last of the league. It was really nice meeting you Nova, I'll be in touch, whether or not I get into astronomy." Satisfied with her victory, and her time in Sootopolis, she settles in for a nice meal, and a cake with Yellow (unofficially his birthday cake), a good night's rest, then the trip to Mossdeep the following day.

"Alright, well, take care," Nova says, moving her seat back into the sun. "Good luck at the League!"Yellow seems much better by this point, and appreciates the cake. This time, he exits the cave with Bea and Rainbow, accompanying them to the Center. The night passes dreamlessly, and the morning comes, bright and sunny. Rather than flying, this time, a boat is the method of travel. It'll be a little slower, with not getting to Mossdeep until late evening... but at least it's not flying. That's something, right? End Episode 5
