Mac is stubborn, weathering the hit, though certainly feeling it as he's tossed aside, but not far enough to impact Mei. Rusty is ready to rejoin the fight, but as she stumbles to her feet and starts to limp towards the Genesect, Gordon gives her a sympathetic look and, with a hand to wounded flank, sends her back to the habitat. The warp band glows for an extra moment and a Blastoise appears, getting a quick lay of the land.

Gordon indicates the Volcarona. "Fire types. Keep them off our icy friends."

The Blastoise grins, and the stone around its neck begins to glow, the light soon engulfing it entirely as it Mega-Evolves. A Water Pulse lashes out at the nearest of the Volcarona. Mac regains his footing and rushes back in, this time looking to recover a little lost health with a Drain Punch.
