Sylvester's expression turns a bit dour as the Heatmor advance and attack. Elodie and Alara both take hits, and two of the Durants take hits; one of them going down immediately. Let's start with his friends. "Hang on Alara! Doctor Sylvester is coming to help!" Sylvester rushes over, standing in-between the further advancing Heatmor and her. "Now this will sting, so I apologize in advance." He pulls out one of the potions he got from saving the mart's supplies, and sprays it on the burn marks. He then turns to Jad, and gives his Zubat an inspiring word. Meanwhile, Jad flies forward to the closest Heatmor and slaps it with his wing! Sylvester moves 3 spaces and uses a Potion on Alara! (20 HP healed) He then uses Inspired Training on Jad! (Jad's initative drops to 16, retains +1 to evasion and +2 to save checks)
Jad moves 2 spaces and slaps Heatmor 9 with a Wing Attack! AC 2 (Flying Physical) Roll - 8 Damage (Re-rolled through Coordinator) - 26

The three remaining Durant all worked as a team to bring down another of the Heatmor, with one of the Durant gripping it quite viciously as the sand was launched into its face. The end result was another Heatmor going down. The injured Durant seemed capable enough, as it was the one dealing the finishing blow.
Morefire seemed to panic a trifle seeing the front row of Heatmor all faint.
Durant 4 shifts 5 and uses Sand Attack on Heatmor 3. Heatmor 3 is blinded.
Durant 5 shifts 4 and uses Vicegrip on Heatmor 3 for 32 damage.
Durant 3 shifts 2 and uses Vicegrip on Heatmor 3 for 56 damage. Heatmor 3 faints.
Durant 1 uses Vicegrip on Heatmor 4 for 32 damage.

As the Heatmor shoots fire at Ruri and the Durant behind her, Ruri does her best to keep the worst of the flames from getting to the Durant, although it still does smolders badly in the aftermath. On the other hand, the offending Heatmor receives just retribution as the rest of the Durant scatter and charge it down. Ruri squeaks and scurries back in front of the group of Durant protectively before noticing El's struggle with one of the other Heatmor and rapidly shooting off another toxic barb to help her trainer. As for El, with the Heatmor firmly in her arms, she takes a quick glance behind her to make sure everyone is all right, grimacing at the sight of the one Durant that wasn't fortunate enough to keep standing and yelling out, "Ruri, stay strong! I've got this one!" With that, she grabs onto the Heatmor tightly and plunges off the right side of the pier straight into the center of the pond with it, pulling it down with her into the water. Ruri Shifts in front of Durant 5 and then uses Poison Sting against Heatmor 5, automatically hitting, critting, and inflicting Poison with a nat 20 on the Accuracy Roll, and dealing 29 Poison Physical damage.
El uses her Swift Action to apply Inspired Training on Ruri, also using Cheerleader for 0 AP to apply the Excited condition on Ruri as well, then shifts with the Move action as detailed as part of the Grapple Maneuver, moving off the pier into the water and going two meters below the surface of the water (or the bottom of the pond, whichever comes first). As a side note, El has +2 to Athletics, Acrobatics, Stealth, Perception, and Survival checks in Ocean terrain.

Alara grits her teeth as the fire watches over, gripping onto her knife tightly so as not to drop it. As Sylvester rushes over to her and sprays the potion over her injuries she coughs and sputters as he sprays the disgusting unnatural medicine on her burns. She whirls on him with a glare, holding her knife threateningly. "Don't touch me." Then, she turns back around and darts forward, facing down a Heatmor blocking a Durant hill. She snarls in annoyance at it and slashes her knife in a low cut at it. Meanwhile, Rush sees his trainer storming the battlefield and snorts passively. He raises a head and a large icicle crystallizes in the air above him before falling through the air towards the Heatmor Alara is targeting, shattering loudly on impact. Alara expended her excited condition to reduce damage from the previous attack. She also took at extra 5 damage from Incinerate.
Alara moves three spaces forwards, then uses Thief on Heatmor 9. Roll of 12 against AC 2, 34 physical dark damage.
Rush moves one space to the left. He uses Icicle Crash on Heatmor 9. Alara spends her temp AP from Elodie to increase the accuracy. Roll of 7 against AC 4. 38 physical ice damage.

"Armature, go after that one, fast as you can!" David indicates the Heatmor that's directly in front of the Durant hill to the right of Alara. The Mon sparks and nods, moving up into range, and windmilling his arms for a moment, before unleashing a particularly potent blast of electricity into the Heatmor's body, causing it to jerk and spasm as its muscles lock. Seeing the others running off, David lets out a sigh, circles around the Durant and the fainted Heatmor, and calmly coldcocks the Heatmor that's still standing next to him. Armature moves up 4 spaces Thundershock on Heatmor 8 AC 2, Paralyze on 17+: 18 Special Electric Damage: 21
David circles around 5 spaces Zapper Struggle on Heatmor 4 AC 4: 17 Physical Electrical Damage: 23

Morefire renewed Heatmor 9's confidence as the Heatmor began more attacks. Though they prioritized Durant, if no Durant were near, they'd certainly attack the Trainers. One of the Heatmor was fully paralyzed, leaving it Vulnerable to further attacks. Alara and David both suffered a hit from an Incinerate, while Elodie's grappled Heatmor panicked and futilely attempted to win dominance in it.
Morefire spends 1 AP to double the range of Heatmor 9's Incinerate attack for one turn.
Heatmor 5 tries to win dominance in the grapple...and fails. It very visibly panics following it's futile attempt to reverse it's situation, wallowing in the water as Elodie's grasp remained firm.
Heatmor 9 uses Incinerate on both Alara and David; 35 special Fire damage dealt.
NOTE: Alara and David must drop any item being held, or take an additional Tick of damage as it glows uncomfortably hot.
The Weird Flowers remain asleep.

Sylvester lets out a small 'meep!' and jumps back when Alara reacts so harshly. "But I was just trying to help..." But she runs off before he can even finish, off to get hurt even further, along with David. He stands, a bit paralyzed, wondering if he should keep helping Alara despite her protests; or maybe help David who was engulfed in that same fire attack. Or maybe someone else needs his help...? Meanwhile, Jad finally catches glimpse of the commander Heatmor in the back, and sees his opportunity. He flies nearly up to him, and unleashes a wave of confusion inducing shrieking and squacking. Sylvester holds his action for now.
Using an Ap from Sylvester, Jad uses Supersonic on Morefire! AC 6 (Confuse on hit) Roll-16

Alara winces in pain as the cone of fire engulfs her. World... going... dark. Kill. The. Heatmor. She starts to lurch forward to slash her knife at it, but the knife begins to glow hot. She gasps as she feels the knife slip out of her hand and pulls it in close, hugging it close to her chest. The heat of the knife paired with the previous attack is too much, and she collapses to the ground, still hugging the blade.

Sylvester's choice becomes very obvious when Alara falls, hugging her super-heated dagger. He might have had something to say to her about doing something reckless like holding a item that hurts you if she wasn't looking so worse for wear. Also she doesn't seem like the person to listen to Sylvester, so there's that. He rushes over to where she slumped over, eyeing the nearby Heatmor. He throws out a quick command to Jad before pulling out a Revive and applying it. "This should help. But maybe don't jump right into battle again... you look like you'll get really hurt if that happens again." Sylvester uses a swift action through Commander's Voice to continue applying Inspired Training to Jad (+1 to Evasion, +2 to Save Checks)
He then uses a Revive on Alara! (Revived and set to 20 HP)

The remaining Durant attacked what Heatmor were near them, being as vicious as they could be. Though they were strong, they seemed to function better in numbers, and individually faltered.
Morefire was growing increasingly concerned as more Heatmor took a lot of damage. Especially since he was feeling a tad dizzy now.
Durant 1 shifts 5 and uses Vicegrip on Heatmor 9 for 32 damage.
Durant 3 shifts 5 and uses Vicegrip on Heatmor 6 for 32 damage.
Durant 4 shifts 5 and uses Vicegrip on Heatmor 6 for 32 damage.
Durant 5 uses Vicegrip on Heatmor 6 for 32 damage.

Alara groans with a small whimper and curls up on the ground in pain. Everything hurt... It burned. Fire felt so wrong... Rush oinked in anger and rushed forwards towards the Heatmor. He moves as fast as he can towards the enemy and slammed into it to protect his trainer and push it away from her. Alara curls up into a ball of pain and misery and stupidity. I'll have her activate Flutter with her shift action. She's rolling around on the ground or something. Evasion is now 6.
Spending one AP to boost Rush's accuracy. Roll of 16 vs AC 2, 22 physical normal damage and Heatmor 9 is pushed 2 meters away from Rush.

Ruri squeaks in alarm as the Durant rush ahead of her again straight towards the scary fire pokemon and runs up with them with swinging paws, hoping to avoid casualties. Meanwhile in the pond, watching the poor Heatmor flail around pitifully in the water, Elodie loosens her grip a little as she silently apologizes, "Sorry, just stay quiet here a little longer, 'kay?" while letting the cool water soothe the lingering burning sensation on her skin from the flames earlier. Ruri Shifts next to Heatmor 6 and uses Double Kick (Fighting, Physical), missing one hit with a nat 1 and rolling an accuracy of 5 vs AC 3, dealing 19 damage.
El spends 1 AP to activate Natural Fighter as a Standard Action and use Aqua Ring (Heals 1 Tick of HP at the beginning of each of her turns).

David yelps as the attack connects, engaging the quick-release mechanism on his gauntlet before the metal can conduct the heat into his hand. He's singed badly, and there's a brief flicker of mayhem in his eyes, before it fades back under control. Armature however, was having none of that shit, and rushed forward into a sliding kick aimed to take the Heatmor's support from under it and turn its own weight against it. David however, is focused on the leader. Moving to the very fringes of his throwing range, he pulls out a pokeball from his pocket, engages it and throws, hoping against hope that this will work. Hopefully with their leader gone the morale of the others would break. Armature attacks Heatmor 8 with Low Kick AC 2: 3 Physical Fighting Damage: 28
David moves up, attempts to throw a pokeball Throw roll + AP: 19 Capture roll: 10

Morefire ended up inside a Poke Ball, and after three futile shakes, was no longer capable of acting. This unnerved the other Heatmor enough to flee where they could, sans one still grappled by Elodie. The Durant themselves seemed quite pleased as they ran into the hills again.
Once they reemerged, they had two others with them, one seemed to be the Queen of this particular group, and the other a younger looking version. They all began chattering amongst each other at this point.

As the Heatmor retreat and as Morefire is captured, Jad flits back and perches on Sylvester's shoulder. He takes a look around at who's left. Alara is still on the ground, recovering. David is... pretty happy he caught the boss. And... oh! Elodie is still in the water! Sylvester leans down, and quickly takes out his First Aid Kit to begin working on Alara.
"Jad, could you signal El that it's ok to come up? I'll stay here with Alara."
The Zubat gives a quick salute to confirm, and flits above the water Elodie got submerged into. He gives a few (non-painful) shrieks into the water, inviting her back up.

As Elodie holds onto the Heatmor, which for the most part seems to have given up breaking free, she briefly looks around underwater in curiosity before hearing distant cries from above the surface, where she can barely make out Jad's distorted image. Is it over? El swims back up to figure out exactly what's going on, pulling the Heatmor with her and making sure it could take a breath too once they poke their heads out of the pond.
Finally with the Heatmor's retreat, Ruri finally feels at ease knowing that she successfully accomplished what El had asked for her. However, as the adrenaline of the battle fades and the Durant scatter, she finds herself unexpectedly glowing, soon maturing into a Nidorina! Ruri twitches her ears and nose in excitement, then bounds forward to the pond's edge as she sees El resurface to show her trainer her new form.
Perception check to observe the pond: 10 (1 AP used)

David groans a bit as he retrieves the pokeball, nodding at the readout before arching his brow in surprise. Interesting. Definitely a non-standard specimen. I'll have to study him when I get more time." Flexing his hand gingerly, he then picks up the still-warm gauntlet, opting to let it cool before trying to put it back on. "I could use some medical assistance, when you've the time, please." Armature looks much put-upon as he looks at his heavily scorched trainer, shaking his head.

Sylvester looks over as Jad manages to catch Elodie's attention. "Hey, we won! Good job with that one, but I think you can let it go. David caught the leader!" He looks back down to Alara down in front of him, and feels something he hasn't really felt in a long time. Guilt. She got this seriously hurt just because he wanted to help the battle. Should she have run forward like that or held onto her dagger? No, probably not, but it's not like Sylvester knows much about fighting to judge. But... she got hurt because he wanted to just get a Durant. His face becomes pained for a moment before he cracks open his first aid kit. "Alara, give me your hand." He goes to work applying ointment and bandages to the burn marks on her hand and body, before continuing onto David, and then Elodie when she gets over there. Heals:
Alara: 11 HP David: 19 HP Elodie: 14 HP
Also cured of Burn, Paralysis, and Poison. If it mattered. He stands, but looks back at the three of them.Those with keen eyes may notice a particularly pained face when he looks to Alara. "I'm... sorry you all got hurt like this. This is my fault for getting us involved." He takes some things out of his pack and holds them out. "My end of the gift from our returning of the shop's goods, plus some of my personal items. It's not much, but it's all I can offer." Sylvester is holding out:
1 Revive 2 Full Heal 2 Energy Powder 1 Potion

"Oh, right! Uh..." Elodie almost lets go of the weakened Heatmor in the middle of the pond before thinking about it, then swims to the edge of the pond and lets it scamper off. As she pulls herself out of the water, she barely recognizes Ruri in her larger form waiting for her eagerly. "Ruri! Did you evolve? No way! I'm so proud of you!" Ruri wiggles her little tail to the praise while El hugs her new Nidorina.
With a happy sigh of relief, El drags herself over to Sylvester with Ruri hopping by her side while wringing out her hair and clothes, only witnessing Alara's terrible condition up close while Sylvester patches her up. "What happened?!" El exclaims, barely holding herself back from hugging Alara tightly due to her injuries but not holding back her emotional tears as she kneels next to Alara. "Are you gonna be okay? How're you feeling? Do you want a drink?"
El continues gushing over Alara even through Sylvester bandaging her arms up again, but quiets up as Sylvester apologizes and offers his medicine. "Keep them, Syl. We got hurt because we took a risk for our own reasons and got close, not because you made us. Besides, you're the one taking care of us right now, and I get the feeling you're gonna end up doing this again and again, so you need them."

David flexes his hands a few times, making sure that his range of motion isn't hindered by the bandages and ointments, before slipping the now-cooled gauntlet back onto his left hand. "No need to apologize, I gained as much from this as you did," he taps the pokeball with the odd Heatmor in it meaningfully. "And it gave us a better perspective of how to work together. We got lucky with Rekt, but from here on out perhaps prudence should be the watchword when in combat." He gives Alara a significant look.
He shakes his head when the other teen offers his healing items. "Keep them, I have my own store of items to use if needed. And as Elodie said, you've already helped patch us up. Best you hold onto them for when your own team needs them. But for now, I think we may wish to relax a bit after the rigors of combat. I personally would like to investigate the beach for Shards, and perhaps acquire a water-type pokemon. Who knows what may be hiding in those clumps of seaweed after all." His smile is sharp and has the thrill of potential discovery in it.
