Zygard and The Bond Phenomenon.

Operation: Green Lightning

It was nearly half an hour before the attack on the enemy base would begin. The assault team was hiding in the deep vegetation of the woods, waiting for the signal indicating the Village was under siege and that their attack could begin.

Each member of the team was dressed nearly head to toe in the midnight black armor the village was famous for. The only reason they even had this much of the armor, was because of a large pocket of a key ingredient used in making the material they'd unearthed the second day Greninja had been out, an event that the girls had neglected to inform Greninja about.

At any rate the villagers wasted no time in manufacturing the material into a form they could use to fashion their incredibly durable armor; and they'd spent most of the thirty eight hours they'd had before the opp was scheduled to begin, molding the material to outfit the assault team with as much armor as they could. It had been an exhausting job and they'd only managed to make enough armor to cover four out of the seven Pokémon, and they only managed to make one complete set in that time.

Arthur and Cristina had their armor, for the most part, covered as being the leaders had a few perks and they'd had their own armor for a while. They each had matching black body armor with most of the plating intact, only missing a few small spots here and there which probably damage from previous conflicts. Three of their four legs were protected by more of the dark material and they were each missing one of their front gauntlets, Cristina's left one and Authors right. The only other part of their armor set that was different was their headgear; Cristina had on her helm of darkness leaving her glowing eyes as the only things visible in the shadow of the headgear.

Unlike his wife, Arthur wore a face plate that had been carved out to resemble a ferocious snarling creature and had had it fit snugly to his face by an adhesive material. The mask had a rippled face with deep eye sockets that let Arthur see but made him have an almost soulless look to him. Not far below his eyes were two razor fangs that hung parallel to his upper jaw and his own fangs. Like the upper jaw, the lower jaw had a pair of fangs that were directly in front of his real ones; the only major difference between the two armored fang sets, other than the fangs direction, was that the lower fangs were able to freely move with his jaw and made it look like he was a shadow demon of sorts.

In the time that the assault team had before they began their raid of the enemy's camp, they rechecked their armor and watched the villages wooden wall waiting anxiously for their signal. Within twenty minutes they received the go light in a very eventful way. The army of Team Shade could be seen marching towards the village walls and they stopped around thirty feet away from the wooden barricade, waiting for the villagers to come out and face them. They waited for twelve minutes before their generals gave the order to advance, believing that their opponents had cut and run.

As team Shade drew closer to the wall the jokes they were making about how cowardly and pathetic their prey were, were cut abruptly short as the Pokemon laying in wait behind the wall launched a barrage of ranged attacks that decimated the first sixty people and pokemon to get within range of their attacks. The sudden loss of their comrades and appearance of their cowardly prey, took the enemy by surprise and provided the villagers with enough time to spring their trap.

Alba jumped on top of the wall and called in as many cells as she could; glowing an emerald green she began to change into her hound form and when the transformation was complete, let out a deafening howl that served as the order to charge. This howl along with Alba's appearance added to the panic that was festering in the enemy's rank, and was also the signal that the assault team had been waiting for.

Moving undetected they dashed through the woods to the enemies base, turning back only once to see the full glory of Albas plan. As the enemy was trying to recover from their initial shock, they were surprised by a sudden rush of Pokemon tearing through their right flank and causing a the closest to the attack to try and flee in fear only to run into their own men.
