Eelektrik: Bind (Masquerain) > Aqua Tail (Plasma)
IF you hit yourself in confusion, THEN push actions back.
Well your attempt to coin flip your way out of further damage backfired to some degree, as the Eelektrik quickly dispatched the Masquerain, before turning its attention to the Rotom, & doused it with a powerful water-enveloped tail swipe. You will have to send in your Roselia at this point now, as the Eelektrik continues to look like a menace, ready to claim more victims...

Basically you deal some more damage to the Eelektrik, while it focuses its attention on the Roselia, dealing noticeable damage to it to the point where it is in a critical condition. What do you do now?

An untimely Grasswhistle miss cost you your Roselia, but apart from that, you the Eelektrik eventually succumbed to the combined efforts of Rotom & Nincada.
Following the battle, you pick up the Macho Brace & the Muscle Band, tend to your team, & move on, deeper into the cove. Somehow you cannot help but to feel that the Guardians had taken their toll on your team...

After the Metang & the Eelektrik were defeated, a hidden corridor opens in the back. You travel through & enter a new area. The cove appears to have a covered section undetectable by air, but you can still see sunlight coming in from the sides. This whole area is still, and it looks serene.
"Impressive work." The voice tells you, though more menacingly. "Let us see how you fare against the element of surprise."
Without warning, an Abra grasps Nincada & both of them vanish. The serene atmosphere returns to that of the damp cave you had just been in. As you work out the illusion, you cannot help but wonder what befell your sole remaining Pokémon. You estimate it will take two rounds to find it.
A voice speaks to you & says "it looks like one of your Pokémon fell into a trap. It will have to work hard to fend it off, the Pokémon that lay in wait are perhaps the most devious of all. Remain calm & you should be able to keep your wits about you."

You dispatch the Abra with little difficulty, but burn a lot of energy in the process.
After finding your lost Pokémon, you travel towards an exit. You happen to notice three Poké Balls laying around, they look a bit scuffed as the edges, as though something tried to juggle them and missed a couple of times. You grab them.
The exit leads out to an area that looks precisely like the one in the illusion. You can only wonder if this one is real as well.

You finally reach an outdoor area, though its shelved underneath the rocks & essentially inaccessible to the outside world. In any case, you know your trials are not over, as two Pokémon stand to face you, each guarding a path around a lake inset in the ground. You will not be able to cross without facing one or the other, and both of them glare at you, a trespasser in their territory. What do you do?
Player Options
a) Challenge Staravia.
b) Challenge Electrike.
Manage your team.
As you move towards Staravia, it blows nobody away with a Twister, leaving only Plasma left to challenge it. You flinch & it looks like it will be two rounds before you can fully regroup. Staravia prepares itself for battle with Work Up.

IF Pain Split is issued, AND you are faster, THEN use Substitute (15 HP) on the first instance. IF Plasma has Double Team clones up when you act, THEN use Air Cutter that action.
And your TLR is over. Not because you Energy KOed yourself, but the Staravia picked your Rotom off with a Double-Edge. At this point, you black out to avoid death. You went deep, but not deep enough...
