“Go, Steelix! Get in the door!” Yelled Validus as his Steelix acted as doorstop for for the elevator, and then bit the floor. At the same time, Steelix held onto the elevator with its tail, acting as a new cable. “It is theorized Steelix is made of diamond, so it probably wasn’t even scratched by that.”
Suddenly, a thump sounded on top of the elevator. Several, actually. And then they heard the Houndoom bark. Since they were both safely out of the elevator, Validus returned an extremely burned Steelix. Houndoom jumped off the top of the elevator and onto the floor, just before the elevator, with all the other shadow pokemon, fell to ground floor. “I really hope that stopped them. If it didn’t, the civilians are in danger, but maybe Mickey or Abbey can help them, if they got my message.” Validus said. “We have our own shadow to deal with! Go, Somnus! Use Giga Impact on that Houndoom!”
OOC I know abbey can’t help, I just added it in to make it sound more convincing.
