Well, I don't know what to say... Although AB switching Lola and Dormond thing makes me happy.

(Drac forgot that)
On one hand, the house and the objects inside it don't have any value aside from being a home, so there isn't any reason why Dominic/Maria can't accompany Renny and join one of the groups, especially when accompanied by Shizuka, Lola and Shannon. That would prevent there being an unneeded 3rd combat that AB need to make, unless he had plans to begin with. On the other hand, Dominic is/was a pokemon trainer so it's not like he can't contribute to the group, and I suppose Maria can be a pure support NPC practically attached to him. On another hand, I'm having problems trying to choose how to divide the team if I do such a thing. On another hand, I could "force" Pierce AND Impact to fight the Ruin Pokemon and Renny would fight Faynoc's pokebrids... yeah, that's the better idea.
Togekiss: That's four hands! You turned into a Machamp! Or a Ledian! Maybe a Graveller!
Proposed Plan?
Faynoc's Pokebrids Side
Rayleen (Battle Master [Slayer / Trainer])
Shizuka (Battle Master [Slayer / Trainer])
Mika (Battle Master [Slayer / Trainer])
Renny (Trainer)
Matthias (Pokebrid)
Lola (Pokebrid)
Shannon (Trainer)
Moon (Trainer)
Dominic (Trainer)
Maria (Support?)
Ruin Pokemon Side
Dormond (Pokebrid)
Kiyomi (Battle Master [Slayer / Trainer])
Rachel (Legion Mage [Pokebrid / Trainer])
Harliette (Battle Master [Slayer / Trainer])
Evangaleen (Trainer)
Whitney (Pokebrid)
Pierce (Trainer)
Impact (Slayer)
Charlotte (Trainer)
Didn't include number of combatants because I don't know how many each of the NPCs have. Dominic is sure to have 5 though if he using Snorlax, Butterfree, Electrode, the Latias Renny gave him and use Renny's Umbreon as the 5th pokemon.
Team 1 would have the advantage of variety and two of the Kimonos. Team 2 would have Rayleen, Impact AND Pierce for lots of dragon moves, as well as Charlotte's Super Fang and Rachel's Steel types.
Thoughts?
EDIT: I"m thinking that the way I put Team 2 has quite a shitload of power, so maybe I'll grab Rayleen for Team 1.
