Everyone was surprised to learn that Tropius had become a zombie, but not surprised enough to not defend themselves from his Razor Leaf. Natu teleported behind Tropius, Murkrow used Whirlwind to deflect some of the leaves, and Charmander and Togepi burned the rest. Lyssane was frantically looking for the Pokeball that Tropius used, until it dawned on her...
Lyssane: Crap! Tropius' Pokeball was in the briefcase!
Of course, Natu instantly regretted not flying back into the tunnel to fetch the briefcase. Either way, she attempted to pin Tropius with a Thunder Wave, with Murkrow launching a Confuse Ray at the same time. Tropius flopped and thrashed around in mid-air in confusion, one of his wings slapping Natu and sending her into a nearby boulder, and finally let out a roar as he completely lost control of his wings and crashed down to the ground. Meanwhile, Charmander was using Dragon Dance, trying to speed up his reaction speed.
The crash and subsequent flamethrower from Togepi snapped him out of confusion. He was rather burnt, but that didn't stop him from trying to slice Charmander with his Air Slash. At this point, Charmander was able to dodge all of the slashes, and eventually leapt up to whip Tropius with a Dragon Rush to the face, with enough force to knock him to his side.
They hoped that would be the end of it, that Tropius would be knocked out long enough so that Lyssane could make plans to retrieve the briefcase. Unfortunately, Tropius recovered with a Synthesis, and righted himself up with a stomp that generated Earthquakes. The construction site was getting heavily damaged, with cracks all over the ground. Charmader was knocked out by a falling beam. Natu was buried under some debris. Lyssane lost her balance and tumbled down the steps leading up to the construction site. Murkrow and Togepi somehow managed to avoid everything.
The Officer Jennys and Nurse Joy ran out of the Pokemon Center with their Squirtles and Growlithes. They helped Lyssane up (who luckily didn't suffer any crippling injuries), and asked her what was happening to Tropius. Lyssane couldn't see any of her Pokemon besides Murkrow.
Lyssane: Officer Jenny, we really need help! My Tropius is a zombie!
Murkrow: Thank you, Captain Obvious!
Nurse Joy: Look at that Tropius... It's so sad for a Pokemon like this to have lost its mind and turned into a zombie...
Officer Jenny: Our Growlithes will help, but I have to warn you, if Tropius does something that could potentially destory the city, we'll have no choice but to kill him. Is that something you're prepared to do?
Lyssane: ...
Tropius turned its attention to Murkrow. Now free from the effects of Natu's Thunder Wave, he took to the air again, and charged at Murkrow with his head down. Murkrow attempted to stun him with a Sucker Punch, but failed as Tropius' Headbutt sent him flying to the ground behind Lyssane and Growlithes. Tropius let out a roar, and everyone could see him charging a Solar Beam, intending to destroy Murkrow and everyone around him. Lyssane returned Murkrow to his Pokeball, but that only made Tropius shift his attention to her.
Officer Jenny: Will you do it now?!
Lyssane: No, but... We don't have a choice. Hurry, before he releases his Solar Beam!
Officer Jenny: Alright, Growlithes! You heard her! Fire Blast!
All five of the Growlithes let loose the strongest Fire Blasts that they could. Tropius' body was engulfed in flames, but he still continued charging up. The three humans started to panic. Suddenly, Lyssane hear Togepi trill from inside the construction zone, and saw a very bright glow.
Togetic: Stop!
Lyssane could see Togepi again, as the debris around Togepi was lifted into the air. Except... It wasn't Togepi. Togepi had evolved into Togetic! The debris that buried Natu and Charmander were lifted up as well. Togetic used her AncientPower to throw the debris at the flaming Tropius. The impact of the flying debris swung Tropius' head and neck towards Saffron City, and the released Solarbeam blasted through Saffron. Exactly where the Solarbeam hit Saffron, nobody could tell from this distance.
Tropius then crashed to the ground with a loud thud, dead.
Lt. Surge and his trainers later returned to see Lyssane on her knees and crying, as Togetic fluttered beside her chanting a Heal Bell, and Nurse Joy was treating Murkrow, Natu, and Charmander.
