[Viridian Forest]

Literal translation would be 'slave orb'.

Isn't that nice?

Glamdring shifts uncomfortably. "I... see... I'll have to be careful with my more powerful attacks, then... It wouldn't do to catch you in the flames."

Like that fire attack he had used before? If Becca had been next to him when he had detonated it probably would have been lethal. Humans aren't built quite as sturdily as pokemon.

"Hmm... They provide personal shielding back home. It's a vital feature. I believe I know of a way to test it relatively harmlessly," Glamdring reasons before closing his eyes. Eyes that begin to glow as his body fades into thick purple mist. Spine and feet and rib-cage remain armor-like ebony bones. But the rest of the pokemon's body has become insubstantial.

Vaporeon has evolved into Phanteon!

Glamdring locks eyes with Becca as he directs a pulse of mind-numbing spiritual chaos at her! Glamdring used Confuse Ray!

"Use Harden Metapod! You've got him right where you want him!" the Bug Catcher yells in the background.
