The Leech Seed was good, but it wasn't enough. These hellhounds had an amazing ability to ignore damage dealt to them and keep on going. Not good, as one of them was heading directly for Venusaur. The creature pounced onto the Pokemon, landing on it's back and sinking it's jaws onto the base of Saur's giant flower. The grass-type Pokemon let out a roar, shaking in order to dislodge the dog. Useless spores flew from the flower, serving only to slightly disorient the dog, but it did not loose its grip. Instead, its teeth seemed to sink further, its mouth getting mucus, saliva, and rotting flesh all over the Pokemon.

Panicking, Red knew he had to do something. Zetsu had mentioned the head was a weak spot, but Red didn't think his Pokemon had any attacks capable of cutting or even dismembering a head. 'Maybe blunt force trauma will do the trick,' he thought, readying another Pokeball. "Snorlax, I choose you!" It was risky, as Snorlax was still low on health, but if need be, he could use Rest.

"Alright, Snorlax, Mega Punch!" the trainer commanded. The giant Pokemon, of course, complied, punching the dog with all it's might. It didn't have that much of an effect, but it did dislodge the hellhound long enough for Red to recall Venusaur and prepare for another attack.

The hellhound flew off of Venusaur and sailed into Mukuro, filthy claws gashing his arm as they toppled in a heap onto the floor. It set on him in an instant, snapping and snarling, glistening ropes of saliva flying as it barked. In such a close range, illusions were impossible--there would have been no time or concentration to make one, and the dog's savage jaws were already tearing the shaft of his trident asunder.

The remaining two dogs split, one leaping to help assault Snorlax with tooth and claw, the other surging towards Zetsu. Backed against the wall as he was, there was no chance to run; Zetsu simply flung himself into the combat as well as he could, exhausted and in pain, doing his best just to keep up with the beast and try to find an opening to finish it off as he fended off potential mortal blows.
