As Kotoha takes a quick step backwards, the pokemon she just summoned catches the swinging halberd on the back of one arm, a metallic clang sounding out as the blade impacts the spike jutting out from the back of his hand.

"Arthur! Dark Pulse!"

Arthur pushes the halberd away with a quick shove before crossing his arms in front of him and bringing them down to his sides, unleashing a short-ranged shockwave of pure darkness. As Kotoha recalls Tesla, she catches sight of the first soldier standing up again, long experience with overlooking the field of battle coming in handy.

"Look out, they regenerate!"
