Skulduggery Pleasant/Headscratchers

• Fletcher can teleport anywhere he's been. He demonstrates the ability to teleport into the ocean at the end of Book 4. So why the hell didn't he just teleport Dusk there and turn the fight into a Curb Stomp Battle?
  • Maybe because Dusk is so freaking awesome he'd kill Fletcher in the second it took them to teleport?
  • The thing is that in the fight Fletcher DOES teleport him. They just return with Fletcher unconscious and Dusk none the worse for wear. It still stands to reason that Fletcher could have killed him by taking him to the ocean.
  • Also, remember that we're talking about the third book, pre-Level In Badass. When he got scared, he teleported at the most 12 feet away, to the bathroom, and this was just after he opened the gate to the Faceless One's world, so he's bound to be tired on top of terrified.
  • To clarify, the scene referred to is the fight at the football stadium in book four. To reiterate - he teleports somewhere undescribed and gets his ass handed to him, and yet mere minutes later he teleports the bomb out in the ocean. The fact remains that the series would be lacking a recurring villain rather quickly if Fletcher had remembered he could do that a little sooner.
  • Maybe Fletcher didn't know salt water kills vampires. Or he just can't always think on his feet.
  • Wait a moment, didn't they end up teleporting back after their fight? How the hell did they manage that if Fletcher was unconscious, I'd like to know?
  • Also, If Valkyrie's coat is impenetrable, how was the fabric cut to make the cat?
