"Now you d.... woah woah woah!" Horace yells as he reappears behind the fainted Metang, tripping over its fainted body and falling flat on his face.
After dusting the wet sand off of himself he states, "Well it appears like he wasn't the one causing all this... Hmmm. Little ones, do you know who is disrupting the tides? All the weirdness with the water is causing a lot of distress for people around here and we were sent to fix that... plus I'd really like to... uh... meet whatever is doing this to study it. If its the lot of you then fine. Just quit it as soon as you can and don't do it again." Horace stares inquisitively at the Beldum hoping for some sign to point him in the right direction.

"Good job Buggaboo, you did great!" Karla hugs Buggaboo, trying to comfort him for his miss. "Looks like there will be more ahead, why don't you turn invisible and follow me and you can try that last one again on the next guy" Buggaboo nods, and disappears. Karla then turns to look at the Beldum, and sees the one seeming to be hopping for attention and looking in a direction. She approaches it. "Hey there sweetie. Think you could lead us toward the cause of this and we'll get rid of whatever nasty has been keeping you guys prisoner?" she asks sweetly. Once it starts leading them she follows, calling Horace over "This lovely is going to help us out, lets roll!" That last battle had gone smoothly enough for them, and she was all fired up to deal with this thing now.

The Beldum gives a confirmative bob and starts determinedly floating further away from the shore, up a dune of sand. Once you crest the dune you get a clear view of a kilometre of sand and the distant waves. The landscape beneath you is that of an artificial crater, still being dug out by dozens of Beldum and Metang. Another larger dune is keeping the ocean from flooding the bay though you aren't too certain why the sand isn't being washed away. At the center of the crater is a giant blue shelled Metagross, surveying its pawns as they dig.

"Oh dear... Well I think I found the problem." Karla says, taking in the massive creature beneath them. "Any idea how to deal with something that big?" she turns to ask Horace.

"Of course! You just hit them harder! Although burning them would help as well. Although it is quite disturbing that its pretty much enslaving these Beldum... or so it seems. We probably just knocked out these delightful creature's taskmaster. What I really fear is the amount of backup that big thing is." Horace shakes his head "Karla if you can handle its posse I think I'll be able to take that creature down. Though you might want to take my extra pokeballs just in case. I'm going to be in the face of that monstrosity and I tend to bring Ire towards myself."
"I'm ready when you are Karla." Horace's eyes turn pitch black "Let's take this bastard down and make him regret all the trouble he has caused these residents and enslaving these kind creatures." Horace begins slowly walking towards the Metagross with determination. "Haunter turn invisible and strike that bastard down on my command."
Gulliver looks distressed at Horace's change in appearance as well as being referred to as only Haunter. For a moment he starts to approach Horace before getting a death stare followed by, "I didn't tell you to follow me I said to turn invisible and attack when I say. Now disappear." In fear and confusion the Haunter turns invisible as his trainer commanded.

Karla takes the spare Pokéballs before Horace's sudden change. "Yeah I guess that'll work." She's not sure how to react at his darkening... How badly did the Chain affect him, she wondered. For now the Metagross was the real trouble. "Buggaboo, do me a favour and strike when Horace orders Gulliver would you? Then go invisible again an come back to me, I may need your help"

As Horace walks down the dune, a nearby Beldum spots him. It chirps a warning that all nearby Beldum take up, a pair of Metang moving threateningly towards him. Before anything can happen the Metagross at the centre roars, it's deep voice echoing throughout the area. Chastened the Metang fall back, allowing Horace to continue onwards.
When Horace reaches the bottom of the pit the Metagross levels it's fearsome gaze upon him, causing his knees to shake with al of it's imperious weight.
(Make a Focus check. DC 10)

As Karla sees the Metang make way she decides it would be best to follow Horace and keep to his back, protect him from being attacked from behind or join in if this really does become one on one. As she approaches though Her legs become weak just from proximity to its gaze. Pathetic Focus means auto-fail Focus test

For a moment Horace falters but his aura just becomes darker, "You think that will work" Horace growls "Why don't you behave before I have to put you down. Now are you going to leave or will I just have to make you?" At the slightest aggressive move from the Metagross Horace tells Gulliver to appear behind the Metagross and use a Wil-O-Wisp. Horace Binds Haunting Curse preparing for the fight. He has 3 AP left.

Due to failing to match the malicious will of the Metagross, Karla is Suppressed until I say otherwise. Horace feels the imperious weight of the Metagross' mind change to a more inquisitive tone. (New Combat Map here)

"I knew you wouldn't go down without...." the black Aura on Horace lessens, "Wait... are you actually willing to talk or something? Look... you are causing a lot of trouble for the town with how you are controlling of the water." The aura goes even more dim. "Now... I'm going to ask you nicely to stop this. Or at least find a way so that this doesn't cause trouble for others. Otherwise..." Horace aura starts to get darker once more, "I won't be proud of what I'll have to do to you. Gulliver appear. It seems like we aren't fighting... yet." Horace ends that statement with a menacing chuckle. "So now what happens next relies on you. We can find a way to both go peacefully, we can have a friendly fight to decide what happens, or I can destroy everything and make you listen. I prefer the second as you are quite impressive and don't want to blow this oppurtunity. I quite like the Beldum that accompany you."At this point Horace's aura is continually changing based on the actions of the Metagross. Any aggressive actions cause both Horace's attitude and aura to darken; but otherwise, its slowly lightening. Charm of 4 and Intimidate of 10 if needed

The Metagross narrows it's eyes as Horace talks, initially giving off the mental impression of confusion, followed by contempt and annoyance. It seems clear that it doesn't care about the town's complaints about something that's temporary.
When Horace finishes it gives off a short series of clicks as its mental pressure decreases. It seems quite determined to finish its digging work and gives the impression that it'll be leaving after.
(Roll Intuition)
Horace detects a solid mental undercurrent of pure malice and rage from the Metagross moments before its pupils expand, leaving its eyes solid black. Due to this forewarning Horace manages withstand the immediate psychic assault.
Metagross misses with Psybeam. Horace's turn

Horace's Aura turns pitch black. At this point its hard to distinguish features on his body or face, "I gave you a chance for a fair fight and you just decided to throw away your life... Gulliver Burn him NOW!" With that remark, Horace disappears into thin air. Horace is using Phantom Force

Karla tries to regain a little composure, but still look a little helpless. "Oh come onnnn, we don't really need to fight, doooo we?" She tries to suppress the sick feelign in her stomach as she gives a wink and blows a kiss at the Psychic Death Crab She's using Sweet Kiss, rolled 13 so should confuse, if not -2 AC for it for a round

Buggaboo carries out the plan as arranged. He flies up behind Metagross, dropping invisibility only at the last second to use astonish! Rolled 5 vs AC 2, 22 Physical Ghost type damage and flinch if it hit and the Metagross counted as unaware vs Buggaboo (Maybe it thought only Gulliver was back there?)

Horace vanishes into nothingness as Karla confuses the Metagross. Despite this, Buggaboo's attack bounces off of Metagross's shell.
Incensed, Metagross spins as its eyes briefly turn red once more. It immediately lashes out with a claw, seeking to crush the ghost. (Rolled 7 vs AC 4, 47 Water damage)

Listening to Horace's orders Gulliver gets into position before firing off a point blank Wil-O-Wisp focusing much of the flame into its side in order to attempt to slow down their opponent. Metagross is burned and if it cannot beat a 22 acrobatics it is vulnerable and has 0 init until Gulliver's next turn.

Gulliver's low blow catches the Metagross off guard, causing it to click in distress. It suddenly falls silent, spinning as it's eyes turn black. It immediately assaults Gulliver's mind with hubristic images. (Gulliver is hit with Swagger. +2 attack and confusion. 19 to hit. It hurts itself in its confusion)

46 physical ghost type damage
Horace Appears from the shadows shouting, "Die you bastard!" Before delivering a powerful blow to the Metagross. After landing the blow he growls "I gave you a chance to come to an agreement and you attack me. You will regret that"

Metagross reels from Horace's blow, its sudden mental anguish making it clear that Horace's super effective blow left it wounded.
