“Hey, lass! I want ye ta use PoisonPowder on me!”

Chloe looked back at Gunpowder, wondering if she had heard right. She had asked earlier if she should try to poison Sorbet to wear him down more quickly, but the Zangoose called Dmitri had insisted that it would be better to paralyze him at the right moment. Gunpowder must have thought of some sort of idea, but…

“But… aren’t you all worn out from these ice attacks? Maple can’t redirect them all away, and… If you get poisoned now…”

Gunpowder grunted. “Arr, I can handle it. Not like we have much choice. Me Façade be terribly strong when I’m poisoned, so I should be able to get that dragon movin’.”

Chloe could see Gunpowder’s point. Sorbet was starting to move away from the pit; there was no time to lose. Chloe held her breath as she released o cloud of poisonous spores from her leaf right at Gunpowder.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Gunpowder didn’t waste time: He crashed right into Sorbet with now double-powered Façade. The dragon lost his balance and wavered at the edge of the pitfall, and finally he crashed to the bottom with a huge blare. The same moment, the layers of Stealth Rock activated and flew at Sorbet from all directions.

“Now! Everyone, attack while he’s down there!” shouted Fresnel.

Dozens of different-colored attacks flew through the air at the dragon. Dmitri’s eyes flashed yellow as he used Glare, and Sorbet’s movement got even weaker from paralyzing as it endured the rest of the attacks. The teams gave it their all: everyone attacked for as long and frequently as they could. Sorbet fought back, shooting his freezing breath blindly into the crowd of teams.

------------------------------------------------------------------

When the steam and dust that the multiple energy blasts and Flamethrowers had caused finally lifted off, Sorbet lied at the bottom, hardly moving.

“All right! It’ll take long before he can climb up from there!” Myra exclaimed.

Even though they couldn’t still completely lower their guard, a cheerful mood slowly spread into the teams. They had done it! Sorbet was so worn down that it wouldn’t be able to get back to the village.

Chloe looked through the Pokemon who had fought with them. There were teams from every guild: everyone had given their all to save the village. It had been naïve of her to expect that just belonging to a certain guild would make a person fully evil. She couldn’t accept the things that rogues sometimes did, but… Maybe she should try to not judge a Pokemon for their guild alone.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The first rays of sunlight started to shine through the horizon. The blizzard had mostly settled, too. Staring at the sight, many Pokemon seemed to slowly realize the situation they were in. Tao village was in ruins, and many of them didn’t have a place to return to. Recovering from all the damage would take time.

What was going to happen to Tao village now?

Iiiii aaaaammmm doooooonnnnne! \o/ It took almost three months, but now M5 is finally finished! *phew* Thanks for all the lovely people who bothered to follow this story. ^^ Sorry that the cameo'd teams didn't get much spotlight at the end of the story, but I'm at least going to assume that Team Rowanberry are friends with them now. :3

Edit: I forgot to note that my team seems to be one of the few where no team members became severy injured/missing/dead during this mission. I know the situation was pretty serious, but I've already had Myra and Chloe injuring themselves during the last two missions, and I wanted to give them a break.

I'm off to finally post the new application!
