''Just to make it clear, the access terminal that is being used is in the basement electrical room, which doesn't allow for a view of the battlefield. No Pokémon have yet breached the Center, so please edit any posts that may have indicated otherwise.

As the first trainers and Pokémon began to attack, the magnet Pokémon which had had their fill struck back, attempting to defend their swarmmates. The Fire attacks definitely seemed to pose the greatest danger to them, as three Magnemite immediately fell to the ground in an unconscious heap. The other attacks were either dodged or shrugged off.

Sand Tomb had little direct effect on the horde, as those who hadn't yet had their fill of electricity simply magnetized to the surface of the generator and stuck there like macabre decorations on a refrigerator. The rest of the swarm began to strike back, however, firing off Thundershocks and Thunder Waves at the rest of the group. One Magnemite tried to sneak up from behind, but was met with the blade of Bergen's shovel. It skittered away, but not before letting out a large shock that nearly fried everyone in the area.

Kyosuke let out another curse. "We're too exposed out here; we should try to get back inside. There's a time and place for fighting alongside your Pokémon, but these guys are made of metal, and one hit from their electric attacks could be the end of us. Unless someone's got a can of hair spray or something in their packs, there's not much we'll be able to do ourselves here. We'll have to leave this to our Pokémon, and hope they can hold out long enough for help to arrive." And with that, he slowly began backing towards the center.

Meanwhile, in the Center's basement, things were going about as well as could be expected. As Emily and Sven hammered away at the access point, suddenly, the lights dimmed even further, plunging the center into near total darkness. But, just as soon as it happened, the energy came flooding back like a tsunami. Emily was unable to react in time, and Nikolai's fears were confirmed. A small explosion could be heard from the floor above, and the screams of the terrified Center occupants could be heard. A few seconds later, a teenage girl with blonde hair darted down the stairs.

"Nurse Joy!" She yelled, seeing her target in the corner of the room. "The whole first floor has lost power! My sister says the fuse box might have exploded, she's looking into it right now, but it's darker than Dad's coffee in there!"

The nurse began the rush up the stairs. "I need to get to the ICU!" As she went, she turned back to Nikolai. "Mr. Galbenis, could you please get the attention of any trainers who have any skill in first aid? We need to stabilize all our critical patients until the power comes back! After that, please head to the electrical closet on the first floor and help the young girl you'll find there!"
