Raphael stares at the evil slimey slime sludge thingy coming even closer.
"W-what is that metal thing?" Her voice is quiet with fear, but slowly grows louder as a little curiosity overcomes it.
She pushes herself standing when she sees Bastion run in front of it.
"Bastion! Don't be stupid!"
Since she's shouting uncharacteristically anyway, she decides to keep running with it.
"Don't kill it, guys! I think something's wrong with it - we need it alive!" She holds the last Premier Ball aloft, its shininess striking a rare ray of light through the haze. "I'll try and catch it - don't you dare faint it or kill it until all hope is lost!"
"if that's okay with you guys that is *meep*"

"Yay, I got a Grimer! I will name you Sleim, I will."
Marc uses Antidote on Owei, and Owei moves left 4 and watches as Raphael attempts to catch it. If Raphael fails, Owei puts up a Reflect between Muk and the others.

"Calloway, flank him!" Clifton has his sheep go three meters left and two meters down. "If that huge... thing isn't captured, hit 'em with a tackle! And see if you can't hit the machinery!"

At least have Gabby use Confusion on it - it's hardly taken any damage, and you're the only one here who can deal super-effective damage to it.

Raphael throws her Premier Ball at the Muk!
...but as it approaches, the device sparks up again, and a curiously colored arc of electricity flies to it.
The Premier Ball falls to the ground, uselessly.
Pokemons.
Natalie just can't bring herself to wait because turn order exists for a reason, and used Mirror Move!

Owei cannot act, as an antidote was used on him this turn. (Pokemon can not act on a turn an item was used on them)

SpoilerBut seriously, there were two incidents this turn of people wanting to violate turn order. I let Bastion get away with it, but won't in the future. If your strategy requires going against the mechanics, consider a different strategy. Yeah, it's a roleplaying game, but it's, more importantly, a roleplaying game. We may have some homebrewed rules and fudged together concepts, but in the end, there's a set of rules and mechanics you have to follow. Yes, in real life you'd be able to ask your friend to get out of the way, but nobody complains about this stuff when there's turn order in a video game. That Blue Moon tank is on your team, but you can't ask it to move out of the way when you're on Orange Star and it's your turn.
On that note, I'll also stop fudging people's movements like how I did when Bastion got struggle bug'd. That was my bad. Clifton shouldn't have been able to get where he was.
Sorry about the rant, but it's been kind of bothering me. If you do have a question about mechanics vs realism, ask me and I'll try to give my best answer as to what works.

Bastion runs over to use a Potion on the Gastly. He feels a pit in his stomach as he sees the fallen Natalie, feeling a bit bad that he turned when he could have helped against the Muk. Still... he bites his lip a little and thinks about the hulking creature, reaffirming his distaste against evolved pokemon. Breathing in he stops doing all that sulking because for better or for worse, he stood up against one of those and this isn't a time to dwell on that stuff.
"Hey guys, I think that that... thing... had some metal thing stuck in it. I'm going to go make sure that uhm... Gastly here is okay so one of you guys check it. If anyone needs more antidotes I've got some too."
He turns to the Gastly, and makes a silly face to try to cheer it up.
"I'm sorry that you got so hurt trying to help us, hopefully this will make you feel a bit better."
He then holds his pokeballs, both his new friend Groop and the poor injured Hrotgar and decides to leave them both there for a bit...

Tori rather forcibly shoves Raphael aside, stepping around piles of sludge and possibly-deliberately stepping on something resembling an eye. She picks Natalie up, and looks righteously pissed off.
"Good fucking job, everyone. Thanks for being so competent that I had to send Natalie into a lightning-spewing slagpile just to save your asses."
She saves an especially vehement look for Raphael, who's probably still in a sorry state trying to hold all her broken Pokeballs.
"Look at you. Fucking shown up by a bunch of schoolkids at keeping monsters off our backs."
Tori returns her Murkrow to its Pokeball, and stalks off ahead of the team.

He then rushes over to the Muk and the Murkrow and kneels down, scowling at the device lodged in the former. "What the shit is this thing? And who the hell crammed it in this poor thing?"

He proceeds to mumble angrily, shaking his head before sighing and looking around. "Any of you guys know about disabling electrical equipment? I'm worried this thing might go off at any moment. Maybe we should call the cops."

Raphael lands roughly at the base of a tree, narrowly missing a fainted Gastly. She laughs a little hysterical bark of a laugh, "I-I'm supposed to become a-an engineer. But I'm supposed t-to be a Capture Specialist too!" She fishes in her pack and holds up the broken Premier Ball.
"...Best Capture Specialist."
Gabby runs over and pulls the ball out of her hands and stomps on it. Then he gives her a huggle.
Raphael draws him close and huggles back. Then she bursts into tears and sobs into a now flailing Gabby, somewhat muffled with a face full of Ralts.

Tori probably hasn't even broken the trees yet, having to step over logs and fainted things, and makes it all take even longer by spinning around angrily.
"Why the fuck are you defending her!? At least you managed to do something, even if your sheep wasn't fast enough to stop me from 'sending my fucking bird out'!"
She gives a disgusted look at the sobbing trainer.
"She breaks a fucking Pokeball and can't go five minutes without crying to her little-whatever the fuck! How do you put up with someone like that? How do you get through life being so fucking pathetic!?"
