Mikoto, Sakura and the Pokémon arrived in the aforementioned forest, although there was no sign of the monster so far.
"Blitz", the electric zebra said.
"Yeah, looks peaceful enough so far. Just keep your guard up", Sakura said gently as they began looking around.

Mikoto nodded and motioned for everyone to stay close to her as she began searching for the monster.
4 stones in Not to get on the monster's trail.

She soon located strange claw marks and damaged trees which seemed to lead to a dark cavern in a cliff side.
"Looks ominous enough", Sakura noted.

Mikoto took stock of the situation, and her forces. "Okay guys... We might not have much room to maneuver... Grotle, Bewear, Suicune I want you three up front with me. The rest of you bring up the rear, and take shots with ranged attacks whenever you can get a clear shot." Mikoto sighed. "I'm hoping we can get close enough to dogpile, and overpower it, but I doubt that's going to be that easy." She said making her way up the cliff.
4 in agl to make my way up to the entrance to the cavern.
6 in Leadership to explain my battle plan to the Pokémon basically we all move in as one big group with our tankiest Pokémon at the forefront.

"Agreed", Sakura said, nodding. "Whatever this thing is, it's strong. This much I can sense", the purplette notted as the group advanced. It got dark REAL quick... until Plusle used Flash to light the cave up aplenty.
The group kept going further in the cave; so far, so good, but no trace of the Pokémon yet. However... strange noises were heard around them repeatedly as they moved, yet they saw nothing so far.
"...It's in the walls", Sakura said in a near whisper.

"I see." Mikoto said taking a deep breath. "Observe carefully... I have never tried this before... I don't know if any ninja can do this with chakra." Mikoto spun on her heel, and kicked the wall hard while sending a wave of chakra into the rock to try and hit the beast with her blow even through the rock and dirt.
(You know that scene in JoJo Part 1 where Jonathan sends his hamon through a rock wall to knock a boy off a cliff he is climbing? Mikoto is basically attempting to duplicate that.)
10 stones eff in Ninja combined with
10 stones in chakra to transfer the force of my blow through the rock walls to hit the beast inside without damaging the rock.

While this was a pretty unusual use of chakra, Mikoto's mastery of it allowed her to somehow make it work and managed to kick through the wall without actually destroying it in the process, transferring the energy on the other side, essentially creating a new Taijutsu technique entirely. A new Taijutsu technique which, incidentally, connected with its unseen target on the other side, sending it slamming into the other wall on the opposite end.
"Okay..." Sakura stammered, her eyes wide open in awe. "...T-That was amazing."
"Minun.♫"
"Cune", Suicune said sternly, reminding the others that it wasn't over yet... just as the mutated Golisopod bursted through the wall, tackling Grotle hard into the wall! It looked like a rather large member of its species, along with reddish-black tendrils and seemingly living material crawling all over his body, forming more spikes and claws than it probably needed!

Mikoto drew a pair of Kunai. "Okay everyone attack!" Mikoto said trying to find an unarmed area, and aiming for a nerve strike with her elbow to try and paralyze it.
2 in PL for 2 extra actions
10 stones in Chakra combined with
18 in nerve punch to try and paralyze the beast.
7 eff in ninja +4 from both Kunai shifted to defense.
10 eff stones in acrobatics shifted to defense

The beast launched multiple strikes and shot tendrils at his foes, attempting to gain the upper hand while it had the chance, but despite its best efforts, it was quickly left defending itself from an onslaught of attacks. Grotle defended himself as best as it could despite being badly injured, while Bewear attempted to protect his buddy with furious swipes of its claws. Swellow used the distraction caused by their weaker friends to get on top of the creature and slash at it with its sharp talons, while Suicune blasted it with an Ice Beam, further damaging it...
...making it easy for Mikoto to strike. The Pokémon gasped as its eyes closed, falling unconscious... the strange reddish-blash ooze covering it seemingly attempting to escape by detaching itself from the creature! Luckily, Sakura leaped after it and stabbed some sort of crystal into it, immobilizing it where it stood! "You are NOT getting away that easy."

Mikoto watched in shock. "What is that stuff?" She asked.

"From what I sense, it's a sentient metamorphic virus capable of some sort of symbiotic existence with its host. I can destroy it or neutralize its hostility... your call", Sakura said, manifesting another crystal in her free hand.

Mikoto nodded. "Best to destroy it."

"You got it", Sakura said, manifesting a powerful aura of energy which focused in her crystal as she stabbed the ooze-like monster with it, causing it to screech as it died and dissolved harmlessly.

Mikoto sighed and smiled. "Okay, good job everyone. Now clear out of here, and wait outside." Mikoto said. "I'm gonna try talking to our friend here, and see if he'll join up." Mikoto said.
(Yes I'll let them evolve.)

Sakura nodded, smiling as the two Pokémon evolved in their respective flashes of light, before the whole group headed out save for Mikoto and her defeated opponent.
