[Archie is conscious - he just can't move. It doesn't help that when those attacks hit he crumpled and everything hurts like hell. There really won't be much more of that though. He's not going to be recovering from this. It's almost funny. He survived numerous accidents that should have killed him and he's survived being directly attacked by the crazy Maxie's Pokemon...]
[Hell, not even Maxie could survive this, though. That thought it oddly comforting.]
[And then he hears that voice - of all the people it had to be Maxie, didn't it? Archie's relieved that Maxie's alright at least.]
...Maxie. [Archie's still capable of talking, but that's about it. He sure as hell doesn't sound normal - he's nowhere near as ridiculously loud as he usually is, and it's clearly taking a lot of effort for him to even string the words together when he continues,] ...Was kinda hopin'... you wouldn't see that...
