so that's a glitch

It's funny because the whole time I was praying that I wouldn't die, and then this happened and I had to restart.

 

Can't you link with your DEs to cancel Dark Aura? You can with most moves.

 

I tried that after I recorded and I was just caught in this pre-link sparkly state as I was falling. I tried multiple things and nothing worked.

 

Not even moving back toward the map?
