"Bah!" The sound was made when Chikao returned to the surface, taking a gulp of air. Quickly he took in the scene as he did so, ears twitching at the shouted cries. So far he noticed that the Seviper was badly burned, and then Tetra along with Metis nearby. The Snivy appeared to be in a lot of pain, and Metis was offering her a Pecha Berry. Other then that, the Shinx was no where in sight and he figured he was hiding, Nyla bracing herself for attack.
Tensu was about to emerge from the ground as it appeared the battle was over, but froze. The Seviper gave a twitch, then slowly begin to rise. The Fire Spin was still surrounding it but it could still move. It had it's devilish eyes (or eye) fixed on Metis and Tetra, intent on taking advantage of their distracted forms and give it's revenge. The Meowth wasted no time. Quickly he dug back into his hole, making a new path right toward the trio. As soon as Seviper drew back it's head, then thrust it forward to perform another crunch, Tensu broke out of the earth's surface beneath and slammed his own head to Seviper's bottom jaw.
The snake-like Pokemon let out a sound that could be one of shock, but this time it refused to be stunned and give up it's chance of attacking. It also remembered Chikao's previous stunt. Before the feline could touch ground and make another hole, Seviper wrapped it's tail along Tensu's waist, then pulled him away and tossed him right behind it. The Meowth flew across, before hitting against a rock wall upside down. A crystal, of course, was there, and Tensu was only lucky that it wasn't one of the protruding ones and was sticking out of it's side. Still, the result wasn't good as it made his back arch, a pain shot through his back and right shoulder where the crystal connected. The pain was reflected upon his visage, teeth gritted and eyes closed shut. Afterwards he slid down, head rested on the ground while body remained up, and it appeared he was unconscious.
Satisfied, Seviper was about to return on trying to attack Metis and Tetra, slithering toward them though it's surprise attack was undoubtedly ruined. However, a thrown rock rather than a crystal this time, hit it on the back of it's head, and Seviper turned swiftly around to face the culprit, a scowl as it's expression. "Hey, I'm not done with you you overgrown Magikarp bait," there was Tensu, still standing where he had hit the wall, but looking as cheekily as ever as he continued taunting the Poison Pokemon. However, the effect was ruined a bit when he was slightly slunched over, right shoulder almost limply hanging beside him and his breathing was ragged. This didn't stop the Seviper becoming furious, however, and it began slithering back toward the Meowth.
Looking more serious when he realized the monster was coming right toward him, Tensu went back to the ground and began digging again. The task sent a burning fire from shoulder across to back, almost making him jerk back but he kept going until he was safely within the earth. He then went upward once more, popping out and performing another attack behind the Seviper. "Ah, falling for the same trick again? Tsk tsk," Chikao jeered, before disappearing in the earth again before the snake Pokemon could attack. Then the ex-outlaw popped out again, giving a smarting hit to the snake's side calling out: "Nope, this way!" before ducking in once again. This continued on for about a few minutes, Tensu coming out on a different side each time and even reusing earlier holes and continuing to taunt, only to infuriate and injure the Seviper more and more. Finally, it couldn't take it.
The Seviper released a horrible hissing sound, sending chills down to all who heard it. It's threatening tail raised above the ground, before returning back to earth with a worrisome thud. It did this a few more times quickly, all around it began to shake and quiver. It was using Earthquake! Thankfully everyone was still in a hall-like structure, so it only affected those who were close enough. Unfortunately, Tensu was right beneath it.
The feline was just about to pay another of his "visits" when everything began shaking, immediately realizing his danger. It knew Earthquake?! he thought frantically. Tensu raised his paws above his head as if some sort of protection, trying to keep his balance. Dig was used often enough times that he was able to make a sort of chamber under the earth, good for a lot of space but bad in this situation. In fact, those above could see that a crack was beginning to form beneath the Seviper's tail, but in it's rage it didn't notice as it began to spread. Underground Tensu noticed, and he was quickly making his way to one of the tunnels, stumbling and falling now and then as he did. A few rocks were hitting him from above, agitating his back and damaging his head but he kept going, aware that if he remained he'd be buried alive. As soon as he reached the tunnel the ground caved in, breaking and collapsing on top of itself. The Seviper realized too late it's danger and came with it, but was fortunate enough that the "cave" underneath was small so it was only a small drop and wasn't buried. However, the damage along with the Fire Spin was enough, the Seviper was knocked out cold.
Tensu was trying his best to out run the falling earth. The injury was slowing down his movement, however, and it was too quick. About halfway out a rather large rock fell above, landing squarely on top of Tensu's head and right behind the Amulet that was stuck in front. At first Tensu kept moving, though was no longer running. It was as if he was unaware of what had happened. "Nngh..." raising a paw to the spot, he drew it back and found blood there. His steps were slowing, dizzy and unsteady, not a good combination with the already shaking earth. Up ahead he could see the entrance and tried reaching for it, pushing himself away from a wall that he somehow ran into. Instead, he fell.
((Hope I didn't make that too much XD
And yes, he is now knocked out. At least mostly.))
