Combo

The poison from Grimer was far more lethal than what Nidoran had inflicted upon Cubone but when both poisons were working together.

What formed from those two poisons was not enough to be called stacking of damage or status effects but the effects did worsen a little.

There existed a type of poisonous effect that appeared when many poisons blended together to form a deadlier poison or when one poison was far too deadly on its own and the term for it was bad poison.

Bad poison or otherwise known as deadly poison was when the amount of poison damage inflicted to a badly poisoned target would increase over time.

Their immune systems would be weakened or they would be unable to endure the effects of the poison or poisons in their body which would cause their bodies to deteriorate faster.

The toxicity that came from the poisonous Grimer was made up of all of the things it had soaked in and ate throughout its life and it had become far deadlier than any other Grimer.

Even without Nidoran, the toxic sludge that was thrown was enough to cause Cubone to slow down its movements each time it endured the pain inflicted throughout its body.

The slower movements allowed Nidoran to come back and scratch it again before retreating.

Cubone dropped down to its knees panting heavily and clutching its chest then fell forward, Grimer came forward and looked down at the Cubone almost like it was drooling. "Grimer.."

A cold voice spoke from behind. "Keep moving forward.. leave it for now."

There were life signs detected to be moving closer to the door to check on the progress of their given orders.

The moment that they arrived in front of the door, Scizor appeared in front of the two of them and sent out a couple of fast bullet punches.

Those inside were shocked at the sudden appearance and threw out their Pokéballs. "Go!"

"What the.. what is that?"

"Is it a bug Pokémon?"

Two people lay at the feet of Scizor and it used its pincers to remove the belts or bags from their bodies then retreated with them.

"What?"

"It just left?"

"No.. it took something?"

"It looks very rare, guys we must catch it."

"We will be rich."

Just as a large group of Pokémon and people ran outside of the door, Scizor reappeared and seemed to be coated in a strange sludge. "Scizor!"

A combination move was put to use using its immunity and a toxic sludge that was thrown over it by Grimer.

Many punches were thrown out at a fast speed once again but it was very different to the previous time.

Each punch and taking back of its arm had caused the sludge to fall off its steel body, it had either been directed towards the target of the punches or to those that were nearby.

The space they were gathered around was much smaller and caused them to be more crowded together which allowed for them to become targets of the sludge even if they were not the main target of the punches in that moment.

"Urgh.."

"What is this?"

"Quick! Masks!"

"Eat the berries quickly!"

"No.. this might need a proper cure.."

"Hah.."

Just as they took them out and Scizor retreated, a toxic sludge was hurled towards them and the things in their hands that were taken out.

"Cough.."

"Ugh.."

"There is another!"

They did not have long to think when Scizor reappeared and lunged towards another one of them before they could respond.

There was little time for them to react when they were panicking and poisoned which lead to them being taken out one by one with Scizor's hit and run tactics.

It was focussing on switching between Bullet Punch and Quick attack that were high priority and fast moving moves so it was able to avoid being harmed while being able to switch between normal and steel moves on those it attacked.

The humans among them may have experienced poisons before due to them being poisonous Pokémon hunters and selling the poisons through different places that would buy them so they had some degree of tolerance towards poison but it did not matter much when they only had a certain level of tolerance towards poisons.

They were not high level people that could be a part of a big organisation and would only qualify to be grunts so it was unlikely that they would be able to handle being exposed to a certain amount of poison.

It was not enough to handle the toxicity of Grimer's poison and they were not given the opportunity to cure it when their belongings were contaminated too.

They soon dropped to the ground and started writhing around in pain, they screamed out and cried as the pain worsened while their Pokémon were left without anyone to give them orders.

"Ugh.."

"Ah aha. Aaaaah!"

"Help.."

"It hurts!"

"Make it stop!"

A short amount of time seemed like an eternity for them and the sounds of the battle around them had quickly become silent.

As their consciousness was slipping away, they heard footsteps nearby that came closer to them then they felt something hit them before they passed out.

Their bodies were dragged inside and Kimi looked around to see the insides of the building.

Nidoran stared angrily towards the captured prisoners and a Chansey appeared soon after near them and used heal bell to cure their status effects one by one.

Anything that was still living was returned to the Pokéballs and everything was piled up to the side after being looted from their bodies or the surroundings.
