The Bruxish screeched loudly, and the sound emanated through the walls. Faba put in earplugs just before the attack, but Evon and Jolteon hadn't known what was coming. Evon recoiled in pain from the sound, and Faba swapped Bruxish out for Alakazam, who fired off a Psyshock before Jolteon could recover. The quick attack sent it flying into the wall, and it sustained heavy damage.
"Jolteon, return! You can't fight like this!" Evon said, returning Jolteon to its Pokeball. "Alright, let's go Vaporeon!" Evon threw out Vaporeon, which instantly disintegrated using Acid Armor before it was hit by another Psyshock. It fired off an Ice Beam, squarely hitting Alakazam and freezing its chest. Alakazam countered with Dazzling Gleam, blasting Vaporeon away. Vaporeon fired off a Hydro Pump, taking out Alazakam.
"Alright, time to switch things up!" Faba said, tossing out his Alolan Raichu. The Raichu flew right at Vaporeon, but missed as it used Acid Armor. "Just what we were waiting for! Thunderbolt!" Faba shouted as the Raichu blasted Vaporeon with electricity. Vaporeon turned back to normal, falling to the ground.
"Good job, Vaporeon." Evon said, returning his friend. "It's in your hands, Glaceon!" Evon shouted, tossing out Glaceon, who opened up with Blizzard. A powerful gust of cold air surrounded Raichu, and it got away with Quick Attack - not unscathed, however, as the ice on it proved. "Ice Fang!" Evon commanded, and Glaceon jumped up and bit Raichu, taking it down. As the two landed, Glaceon sustained damage but Raichu was knocked out. Faba returned Raichu, sending out Bruxish instead. It let out the Screech from earlier, which Evon and Glaceon were able to brace themselves for this time. It flew right at Glaceon, who was hit hard by Aqua Jet. Then it used Psychic Fangs, taking Glaceon down. Evon returned his starter, sending out Eevee instead. "Let's go! Shadow Ball!" Evon shouted, and Eevee fired off the projectile... but Bruxish dodged it, flying right at Eevee with an Aqua Jet. "Bite it!" Evon shouted, and Eevee crunched down on Bruxish as it rammed into it. "Now Shadow Ball!" Evon shouted, and Eevee blasted Bruxish from close-range. This made Bruxish faint, but Eevee was brought along for the ride and skidded along the ground. Both Pokemon hit the floor, fainted.
"You've got me down to my final Pokemon. Impressive." Faba said as the two trainers returned their Pokemon. "Let's see what you're made of!"
"You got it." Evon replied, smiling. "I can tell your team is based around Psychic-types. Fight fire with fire, I say! Or in this case, fight psychic with psychic!" Evon tossed out Espeon as Faba released Hypno. Espeon charged forwards, jumping around Hypno. A few seconds passed before Hypno used Psychic to try to fling Espeon into a wall, but Espeon used Psychic to do the same. Both Pokemon were flung to opposite sides of the room. Espeon jumped out, but Hypno began to stand up... but then, it was blasted with Future Sight.
"What?! When did you use Future Sight?!" Faba said, confused.
"You don't think Espeon was jumping around just because it felt like it?" Evon said, smiling. "While you were confused about what it was doing, Espeon set up the Future Sight in just the right places that it saw they needed to be!"
"Grr! Don't think you've won yet!" Faba shouted, and Hypno let loose a Hypnosis attack. However, HYPNO fell asleep, not Espeon. "WHAT?!"
"It's my Espeon's special feature." Evon said, walking over and petting Espeon. "Ever heard of Magic Bounce? I was counting on you to try to put Espeon to sleep. With Magic Bounce, you can't do that! Instead, the attack gets reflected right back at you! Espeon, let's finish this! DAZZLING GLEAM!" Espeon blasted out the powerful Fairy-type attack, striking down Hypno.
"WHAT?! HOW?! HOW COULD I BE DEFEATED?!" Faba shouted, absolutely livid.
"...and with your defeat, Faba, your usefulness to us has ended."
Faba and Evon both looked around the room. There was no one there, but they recognized that voice. "ZX! What are you talking about?!" Faba shouted.
"I mean what I said, Faba. We're done with you." ZX replied, an air of smugness in its voice. It was talking from the loudspeakers now. "We've gotten what we wanted from Alola and the Aether Foundation. You are no longer needed. Your entire operation here being shut down by three children you were unable to deal with proves that you are not the kind of man we need. But I have taken a slight liking to you during my time in our partnership. That's why I'll be giving you this warning."
"Warning? What do you mean?" Faba asked.
"I mean that I'm going to tell you that this base will be exploding in three minutes. I'd recommend you flee now. Farewell, Faba. Pray we never meet again." ZX said before the intercom cut off.
"EXPLODE?!" Evon shouted. "Landon! Robby! You have to break that glass and get through to us! Faba! What's the quickest way out?"
"The emergency escape slide tunnel!" Faba said, running over to the wall. He tapped a hidden switch, opening a secret control panel. He pressed a few buttons, and a portion of the wall opened up, revealing a slide. Faba returned his Hypno before jumping down the slide.
