Gourgeist roots break apart as the move is disabled by Tully. Sana's attack left a clear opening for Zoroark to make the finishing blow!
As she falls, you all hear the wood cracking from her base. A ghastly aura oozes free from the cracks as she unconsciously expands.
Chance and Tully make athletic rolls to evade the explosive curse.
On the other end, Banette sees his partner going down and becomes incorporeal. Ending his participation in the battle.
The energy bursts out of Gourgeist. Giving a curse to all of those caught in the blast. Tully was lucky enough to escape. For Chance and the Officer Jennys...

As an occult enthusiast, Sana recognizes the explosion as an ancient powerful curse taught to this Pokemon. It curses its victim until they faint, which allows the user to possess the fainted victim. Gourgeist definitely used it as a last resort to spite his foes. Sana will not allow the victims to die. She brings out her Cleanse Tags, 3 in number, chanting incantation on each of the tags to burn away the curse. Joy waves her arm around, removing the curse from Chance. Joy uses Healer on Chance. Sana uses Cleanse Tags on Jenny to remove the curse.

The curses are dispelled from the four. The path ahead is now clear of enemies, though the Officer Jennys still lay motionless. As Sana was placing the cleanse tags, she noticed that they were just sound asleep, the only immediate danger was the curse and using them as nightmare fuel.

Chance blinks in surprise at Joy, entirely out of nowhere, heals the curse he felt weighing him down. He hadn't done anything in particular for her other than fight with her and she helped him. He pauses for a while, thinking about this.
Meanwhile, Tully looks down the corridor. "So, think we can get down this thing without conkin' out ourselves? Doubt these spores are somethin' we can just power through. 'Less you got either some gas masks or a flyin' type who can blow 'em away, we might be stuck."

Sana looks into the corridor. Taking Tully's advice in mind, she tries figuring the one Pokemon she's with who knows can conjure wind. Non, except Whimsicott. She carries Whimsicott from her resting place - her bag. "Whimsy, can you blow the spore off with Tailwind?"Whimsy waves her hand and a strong gust of tailwind coming towards Tully's side push the spores away. Sana pats the cotton Pokemon. Joy nudges the cheerleader and points towards the still unconscious officers, asking for Sana to carry them out of the spores. Sana faces Tully. "We should move them away from the spores."Whimsicott uses Tailwind on the spores.

"Good idea." Tully says, a little surprised that Sana did actually have a pokemon that could help. Score one for optimism, I guess.
With that, he releases Xander and Shanna and they, along with Chance, help carry the officers' unconscious forms out, with occasional telekinetic assistance from Tobias.

After moving the Jennys, they continue their journey down the tunnel.
They come across a few noises in the distance ahead. Four men are trying to take down an iron door that's stuck. The Banette from before is attempting to break the hinges. One of the four that was facing the entrance spots you both. He looks just as strong as Riley was, but has a solemn look on his face.
"Don't look surprised, Banette told me you would all arrive soon."
The other three urge him to get rid of Sana and Tully, but he dispells their arguments saying that his blood is not worth enough time to get that door open.
One of them throws a Pokéball in front of the man and out comes an Electrode. "I-" He shakes with sweat. "Is capturing us worth your life!? We'll all blow up together if you do something crazy! Don't fuck with us!!"
Roll intuition to tell if he's serious.

It's pretty clear to Sana that the group of gangsters is trying to get into the iron door, probably to hide from the police, or to loot their group's goods. She isn't sure. The Electrode's trainer clearly doesn't want to use Explode and fears for his life, therefore she attempts for a cessation of violence. She holds her hands out to two goons behind the bodyguard and starts speaking, Ruby persona seeping in again.
"Hold on, we are not here with a plan to capture anyone and certainly not with the police. We didn't even know there's someone here. There's no need for confrontation, we wandered here looking for a lost boy."

The bodyguard puts his hands in front of Sana to prevent her from moving further, then makes a quick gesture towards the gangsters. They seem to all 'click' when she mentions a boy.
"Perhaps she feels enlightened to make a deal with us, sir." Says the bodyguard.
The lead gangster, still sweating stands a bit more upright. "Yeah... I know that, useless." He points Sana to the door. "Talk to those kids blocking our door outta here. We don't want to harm the money makers, but we don't need them either if we're havin' a get outta jail free card. If you get the supreme leader on the other side to chill out, they don't get hurt and we walk."
The gangsters move out of the way, "Deal?" The bodyguard also moves out of Sana's way, but keeps an eye on Tully. "How can you see down here with such dark shades on?"

Sana is wise enough to know whenever one gangster group is stopped, others will pop out. Arrest and judgment are not within her duty as a Pokemon trainer, and she's even in a crunch time too, therefore she needs the least resistance possible. She nods in agreement, then adds. "Supreme leader? As long as the children are safe and sound, and will be allowed to return to their parents, we'll pretend we never met."
Being safe and careful, Sana walks to the door and greets, to confirm their situation. "Hello? What's going on down here?"

"...Fair enough."
----------------------------------------- A familiar voice answers Sana from behind the door. "What do you wa- ...Wait is this the girl from the truck? Why did you come back!?" He shouts.

Sana was wracked with worry, but the boy's question turns her worry into confusion. Was he waiting for the police to save him and the other kids?"I... I was worried about you, but it's okay now, the police are here to rescue you and the other children and from the gangsters, they don't want to hurt us anymore."

The boy tells his story. It seems that he was rallying behind your bravery and actions the whole time. The door opens and he, along with five other kids come inside the tunnel. An exchange goes on between the boy and the acting boss of the goons.
A helicopter makes its way to the entrance of the tunnel, waiting for the four to arrive.
"So that's it? We're not going to lay a finger on them after what they did? They're bad guys." Cries the defeated boy.

The boy's desperate cries were similar to getting scolded by him, ringing and echoing in Sana's mind. She is now reminded of how scared she actually was, and in the end, she isn't a courageous girl, she needs backing from others to act. Back in the truck, all she wanted was to save herself, her Pokemon and the two kidnapped children, and be on her way, not involved in taking down a criminal organization. Sana shivers a little, sniffing and starts shedding tears, blankly looking at the gangsters walking away from her. "I.... I..." You're better than this, yes, yes? I am your inspiration! Don't forget you're a magical girl of justice!She waits for them to enter the helicopter, and before lift-off, Magni is called out from his Pokeball. Joy pats her friend in agreement of her actions. "Teacher, pull them down!" Magni courses electric inside him and pulls the whole helicopter downwards, then zaps all his allies with his protective barrier. Sana chants magical incantation and summons a beautiful storm that envelopes everyone inside the helicopter. Joy uses Helping Hand on Sana, granting her Cheer buff. Magni activates Magnet Pull on the helicopter, then Reflect on all allies including all kids. Sana uses Arcane Storm on everyone inside the helicopter, including the helicopter.

The helicopter engine screams as it tries to pull up. It's then pushed aside by Sana's fury. It starts spinning around in the same place, beeping emergency noises can be heard from the machine but it was not enough to bring the whole thing crashing down. Smoke is also coming out it.
Banette phases out of the helicopter and launches a orb of spiritual energy at Sana. The bodyguard hangs out the window. "I expected resistance, but not from you, girl. I thought of all people you would keep your promises."
The smoking helicopter begins to break free of Magni's ability. This may be their last chance to apprehend the gangsters.

Magni refuses to let go of the helicopter, his magnetic power is always firm until he lets go. He releases a powerful electric static on all Sana's allies, giving them protection. Sana remains quiet, clenching her teeth at the ghostly shiver damaging her soul. She feels guilty of breaking promises, but she can't disappoint the boy and Tully. Sana extends her arms and lets out multiple blinding barrages of light at everyone inside the helicopter. Magni uses Magnet Pull on the helicopter, refusing escape for all goons. Magni also uses Reflect on every ally, giving them Cheer buff.
Sana uses Dazzling Gleam on everyone inside the helicopter.

Tully's jaw drops. What the?! We had a good deal - they walk away, no one fights, no one gets hurt. What the hell?[/i][/font]
He shakes his head as Banette drops down. This at least - iminent physical danger - he can understand. He readies a knife, only for Chance to leap in front of him just as he's about to throw it, making him jump back and release the knife into the ground.
Really gotta work on that coordination.

Banette is hit by Chance one last time before the bodyguard brings him back to his pokeball. Magni's hold on the chopper breaks. It immediately veers away from the group, making everyone inside tumble like ragdolls. The blades whine as it tries to fly, but the damage inside the cockpit was too severe. The helicopter cashes to the ground. If they ever see Sana again, they'll remember how the kindness they showed was reciprocated...
The Officer Jennys that were asleep in the tunnel have woken up and conveniently arrived when the the chopper crashed. The gangsters were too dazed to put up a fight, let alone talk coherently. In the end they escorted Sana, Tully, and the children out of the tunnels. Sana's efforts to apprehend the rest of the gangsters weren't in vain. Though she saved everyone and got the bad guys, she should've just let them escape and not put the kids in danger. The helicopter was smoking and everyone would be able to see it for miles. Much easier to track things in the open sky. The police thank Sana and the girl from before, still in the police cruiser, waves vigorously.
When the Jennys turn their backs, a Pelipper swallows Sana's arm whole and something inside grabs it. Kuki pops out of his mouth, "28 minutes late, next time you're back here you'll see a gold statue of yourself. Tully's skittishly waiting to go. Are you?"

Sana returns Amanda's vigorous waving with a bow. While taking a deep breath for a temporary relief, just when she is about to meet with the boy to thank him for giving her courage when Kuki's Pelipper catches her arm, startling her greatly with a light yelp.
The extra time she spent was more than she expected. Sana scrambles hurrily to apologize. "I'm really sorry for taking so long." The thought of golden statue erected in her honor, though, makes her uneasy, she knows it won't happen, but still... "I'm just a Pokémon trainer aiming to be a league champion, like the rest, I don't deserve that. Please wait for a while." She asks for time again.
There are two people she wants to meet now before she decides to depart to stop the dimension abusers. First, an Officer Jenny. She passes a police report regarding the mismanagement of The United Front for allowing terrorists to invade the amusement park. Next, she finds the boy, bowing at him. "Thank you very much for helping me, back in the truck and the tunnel. I'm so sorry for exposing you to so much danger" Her tone slightly on verge of tears.
