It was over.
It is over...
And yet, I wasn't able to do anything, was I? After what I did to achieve Synchronization... It's useless now. Useless except for healing, that is.
"Andreas, do you mind helping the others tend to the injured? I'll handle Estelle," Melody murmured. Her human partner nodded, joining the congregation of gijinkas. Melody made her way over to the bleeding Espeon. "Thank you for finding a peaceful solution for this entire ordeal," she whispered. "Aqua Ring."
Estelle's wounds took more energy to heal since they were serious, but Melody did not feel drained. Hm, Synchronization is a good ability for this situation, she told herself. As she double-checked her Espeon friend for injuries she had missed, she thought over to the series of events leading up to her position now. It's been such a short time since my escape, she thought. Look how much has happened. I feel as if I'm living a different lifetime.
She looked up and happened to see Nina, who had been watching the battle from the side the whole time. She looked stunned and a bit confused, and was nursing several significant wounds. Melody felt a guilty pang in her chest that she could not explain. "Here, let me heal you next," she told the Nidoran girl. Nina uttered a weak "Okay." The female Mudkip made quick work of mending the lacerations and sprained joints that decorated Nina's small body.
When Melody finished, she was about to move on to restore Eva to full health, when the Eevee called attention to a mass of robots heading directly for the battered group of gijinkas. An idea sprang into the Mud Fish Pokemon's head. Maybe Synchronization could have a use after all... She glanced over at Andreas, who had noticed the horde of enemies as well. They exchanged knowing looks. Melody grinned maliciously. "I think it's time," she announced, "that we demonstrate the true reaches of our special ability. Andreas?"
"I'm on it. Heal Eva as best as you can, and join me out on the front line," he replied, rushing off to greet the machines. Melody did as she was told, tending to Eva's major wounds and leaving the smaller cuts and bruises for later. Then, with one last sweep of the immediate area, strode forward to meet Andreas. The mass of robots stretched on for a good distance. It's nothing that we gijinkas... and Andreas... can't handle! Melody assured herself.
"Ready?" the male scientist inquired.
"Damn straight. Mud Shot!"
"Water Pulse!"
The combined attacks took out an entire row of the enemies, but the herd barely flinched, their numbers only reduced a little. Melody heard Andreas scoff and comment, "Oh, surely my attacks haven't gotten that rusty? Earthquake!" About fifteen robots were destroyed, and quite a few others suffered various degrees of impairment. The Mud Fish Pokemon was starting to wonder where the others were when a "Shadow Claw!" and a "Flamethrower!" were shouted out simultaneously. Kat and Hon had arrived, dealing a heavy blow. Melody saw others arriving as well. She smiled widely, swelling with pride for her gijinka friends. Never doubt the strength of teamwork...! she said to herself.
"Alright, everybody, why don't we show these bitches who they're going up against?" she hollered.
Continue?
Melody.

Hope it was okay to identify Hon and Kat specifically as partakers in the fight. I just figured that since Kat is in the fighting mood and Hon had said earlier that he would readily help Melody, that it was okay. < U >
OFF TO BATTLEEEEEE-
