As the first Trainers and Pokémon begin to attack, the magnet Pokémon which have had their fill strike back, attempting to defend their swarmmates. The Fire attacks definitely seem to pose the greatest danger to them, as three Magnemite immediately fall to the ground in an unconscious heap. The other attacks are either dodged or shrugged off.

The Sand Attack has little direct effect on the horde, as those who hadn't yet had their fill of electricity simply magnetize to the surface of the generator and stick there like macabre decorations on a refrigerator. The rest of the swarm begin to attack haphazardly, however, firing off Thundershocks and Thunder Waves at the rest of the group. None of them find their marks, due to their accuracy being reduced. One Magnemite tries to sneak up from behind, but is met with the fierce combination of Nickel's bat and Ryu's headbutt that slams it into a group of its companions. It skitters away, but not before letting out a large shock that nearly fries everyone in the area.

Kyosuke lets 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 begins backing towards the center.

Meanwhile, in the Center's basement, things were going about as well as could be expected. Nikolai has set up shop, working hard to isolate the excess power in the building, with Aureole on hand to assist and Wolfe serving as a lookout. When Nikolai poses the question about redirecting more power, Nurse Joy nods.

"The Rangers erected a small radio tower on top of the Center that's been transmitting a message throughout the city to draw survivors to the Center. Shut it down only if you need to!" With that, she turns to Luna. "Yes, we should check on those in the ICU as soon as we can. We never know when we'll totally lose power!" As she says this, the lights dim ominously again, this time even darker, and take longer to return to full strength.
