Doing what they did best the Joltik's would scatter...as a team! Using their amazing leaping abilities the Joltik's would all jump off the Archen's body at once, making it distinctly difficult to tell which one was which!

((TEN THOUSAND YEARS LATER...))
Urvogel did his best to make his way through the fierce frenzy of zappy spiders, and actually managed to lock onto the Joltik in question. Unfortunately, his claw would miss, barely swiping a hair's breath away. Why was this happening?! They were food, and food was not supposed to run off or snack on him! Hissing fiercely, he rushed forward, heedless of the Green Lady's cries. With reckless abandon, he Quickly Attacked at the Jolly Joltik, hoping to land a hit!
(AFTER TEN THOUSAND YEARS I'M FREE! IT'S TIME TO CONQUER EARTH!)
Just as before the Joltik's would strike as one, reversing direction through some tricky thread manipulation to launch themselves back at the Archen, all of them intent on sinking fangs in to flesh and draining his body of life...and the natural electric current which ran through all things!

((18-8 )+(15-8 )) = 17 Damage! The Jolly Joltik is at -14! (Dead? I think he's dead...)
Helter-skelter, the Archen dove through the horde of Joltik, beady eyes focused on one and only one: his prey. With a warbling war-cry, he stabbed forth with his claws, and dug into the Joltik. In an instant, the Bug-type lay crushed in his talons, no longer quite so jolly. Urvogel cocked his head to the side, looking closely at the limp spider. There was nothing quiet like food you hunted yourself!
"No!" The urge to curse in a very unladylike way overcame her. Two battles, and two deaths? Once again, Vanni was failing as a trainer. What kind of trainer allowed her Pokemon to murder so reckless? One who couldn't control them. Her fingernails dug into her dirtied palms-- with sweat and dust, but a morbid part of her imagined blood on her hands. "No, Urvogel. Put him down. G-give him... give him back to them."
Urvogel squawked with displeasure, feathers and temper more than a little ruffled. But he had ignored her before... he could do her the this. With as much care as he could, he fluttered over and placed the body as close to the other Joltik as he dared. That weight off him, he swooped (fell, really, because he was still fairly flightless) down at the rest, focusing another Quick Attack at the female who seemed rather Adamant.
It might have been of note for the Archen however that the Joltik was drawing closer at surprising speed. Surely he couldn't be moving that fast...and in fact he wasn't. The prehistoric predator would find that for once in his life the prey was running straight at him! Rage in her ears the Joltik's claws glowed purple with poison. She would avenge her fallen comrade, and she'd do it with Cross Poison!

Urvogel now has 106/300 EXP!
(8-4)+(8-9) / 2 = 1.5 rounds up to 2 damage! Archen is at 9/19 HP!
High off his victory against the horde, Urvogel miscalculated, and came in too close. With a hiss, he took the Cross Poison to the face; fortunately, his rocky fortitude allowed him to avoid the more toxic effects of the attack. Hearding Vanni's orders, he took off the the wires and cables once again, hoping to avoid another instance of food eating him.
The Achen could only hope to be that lucky! From the second he turned his back upon them the Joltik had set to work. The Calmer of the group's members would allow his fur to stand on end, sharpening in to needles as he released them in a barrage of Pin Missile, apparently trying to skewer him. Yet the Joltik had left an easy exit from the barrage for his opponent...a feint meant to lead him in to the Spider Web his more Gentle companion had already finished creating! Hanging above the Adamant and Hardy Joltik simply waited for the Archen to fall in to position, when he did, and they certainly hoped he would, the pair would strike with a combination of Cross Poison and Leech Life!

Well, it had taken two of her Pokemon to take out one of theirs. Clearly, this was going well. Tight-lipped, Vanni recalled Urvogel, glad to see he'd survived the barrage of attacks. Her hand went to her next Pokeball, and she summoned the creature out in front of her.
In a blaze of fire and light, the Growlithe appeared. Seems they were still in the sewer... and facing something a bit more substantial than a ghost or a plant. Nodding to show he'd heard her order, Culann rushed at the Adamant Joltik, body wreathed in the flames of a Flare Blitz.
The actions of the other spiders would be for naught; Culann landed right in the middle of the group and made contact with the Adamant female, flames bursting as they fed on her yellow flesh. The others would find themselves once again with a dead comrade.
Pleased with his actions, the Growlithe shook his fur of the dust and ash before backing off and darting to the right. One down didn't mean much to him, and it was best to stay on your toes.
Another of their comrades down for good, and yet the group would not falter; to do so meant the disgrace of their companions. Unfortunately the ones whom remained were the most level headed of the group. Wordlessly the Hardy Joltik would look to his fellows, giving subtle commands through his eyes and an odd rubbing motion with his mandibles.
The next instant however it would seem as if the Hardy were channelling the spirit of the Adamant. All four of the arachnid's blue eyes began to glow blue, narrowing in to a fierce glare at the same time. Subtly only at first the hair's on the Electric-Type's body would begin to fluff up, giving the Joltik the appearance of doubling in size as static danced across his body. The arachnid looked the devil himself...at least from the perspective of a Joltik...and that was the point, the whole appearance practically dared one to look away and see what would happen. It was something of a taunt, binding the opponent's gaze to only one of their group; yet the Hardy Joltik wasn't going to merely stare at the Growlithe. Oh no. Once he was certain he had the dog's attention he would release a net of webbing, attempting to capture the Dog as those before him had been; in a sticky staticy Spider Web!
Meanwhile the Gentle Joltik would hold perfectly still, her eyes glowing a myriad of hues as her mind invaded Culann's mind, attempting to muddle his thoughts and force him to forget the move he'd just used, to make it a memory he couldn't quite grasp, to rob him of his greatest attack with Disable!
The Calm Joltik at that time would take a more aggressive approach. A new target meant he had to take new aim, and so after placing himself appropriately the Joltik would angle his body forward, the hair's on his body becoming like thousands of needles and firing off in a barrage of Pin Missile. It had certainly worked well before after all!

Culann's Flare Blitz is Disabled!
Culann is trapped!
((20 + 9)*0.5)/5 = 2.9, round up to 3 damage per round!
The Growlithe shook himself, annoyed by the attacks he was taking, yet not completely out of it just yet. It was true he no longer had access to his favorite attack... but then, thanks to a certain dizzy pink-haired girl, it wasn't the only thing he had to reply on anymore... Making a mental note to thank Momo the next time he saw her, Culann Flame Charge'd directly at the Joltik who's pins were currently being shot at him.
Despite the furry ball of flame stampeding directly towards him the Calm Joltik would simply continue with his relentless barrage of needles, the Pin Missile practically forming a cloud and forcing one to ponder how the Joltik wasn't going bald. No, he had faith is his comrade.
Faith well placed as the Hardy released a menacing static filled cry, launching himself with power legs and throwing his weight toward the front. It was clear from ever angle what the Joltik was trying to do. He would make Culann pay for looking away, by crashing in to his fiery foe and batting him aside!

The first Joltik wouldn't stop Culann in his tracks, but he would end up missing the Calmer Joltik regardless. Wincing slightly from the Needles, he thus went on the defensive.
Despite the continued Pin Missile of their companion both the Hardy and Gentle Joltik would leap forward in an attempt to Leech what little Life their opponent had left!
