As the Fletchling approached at high speed, Sato braced himself for the impact.
He was prepared, in fact, it was what he had planned when he used Taunt.
The flying pokemon was just too fast to get hit by long range attacks, but despite those being Sato's speciality, he had something up his sleeve.
As his opponent made impact with his body, Sato got pushed back a bit, but being prepared for it, he was already ready to counter-attack. He opened his mouth as wide as he could, showing off his not-fully grown teeth, and then strongly bit the Fletchling, or better to say, used Crunch.
With the Flying-type pokemon in his mouth, Sato shook his head for a couple of seconds, then apparently stopped.
"..I didn't even felt that!" He screamed, or at least he tried, since talking while biting someone wasn't really easy. That was a lie, he really felt that. Acrobatics was a powerful move, and it certainly didn't leave Sato unaffected, but he knew how much important it was in a battle to make your opponents think they can't win, and lower their morale.
He got ready in his usual stance, and prepared to fire off a Dark Pulse, this time with the intention of blasting the Fletchling away with it.
"Just try not to die or you'll get me in trouble!!" He said, as released the dark energy stored inside his mouth.
