"Keep that Luxio occupied, and I'll overwhelm that little Vulpix." The grunt said to his partner. He nodded and got the attention of his Zangoose. "Zangoose, quick attack; get right up in Luxio's face!" The officer responded, "That's how you wanna play, alright then. Luxio, use quick attack as well!" The two pokémon charged at each other, white streaks passing them both by, and met head to head. The other grunt smirked, having thought his plan was about to go off flawlessly. "Crawdaugnt, end this! Crabhammer!" The Crawdaugnt charged up as its claw glowed and built up bubbles around it. Without even a command, the Vulpix sidestepped the hit. The officer then directed his attention to Vulpix, "Alright, firespin Vulpix." Vulpix then shot a gush of fire down at the ground in front of Crawdaunt. The flames expanded up and encircled the Crawdaunt; trapping him.
"Ha!", shouted the grunt, "Hardly anything to worry about. Crawdaunt use razor shell and extinguish the fire." The officer interjected, "Stop him Vulpix, use will-o-wisp!" Vulpix eyes glowed with a purple glint as she conjured an orb of ghostly fire that ignited the Crawdaunt. Meanwhile the other two pokémon clashed at high speed. The grunt who had the Zangoose gritted his teeth and called out to his Zangoose, "Ok, use brick break now!" The Zangoose stopped its quick attacks and landed a chop on Luxio which rolled him across the ground. "Luxio, you ok?!", cried out the officer. Luxio stood up on shaky legs, but gave a bark of approval to say he was still able to fight. The officer smiled, "Good to hear, now let's keep him at a distance. Use discharge!" Luxio then launched torrents of electricity out at the Zangoose. "Dodge and use hone claws; we'll knock him out with one more strike!" The Zangoose smiled as it glided its claw against themselves. This created a menacing "sheen" sound.
The officer reassured Luxio, "You've got this Luxio! Just keep using discharge!" The grunt responded, "Zangoose, let's end this right now. Use quick attack to get in close and finish that Luxio off with slash!" The Zangoose dodged each and every bolt that was fired at it and moved in; its sharped claws ready for the final blow. "Luxio, just like we've practiced. Do it!", the officer confidently said to his partner. Luxio took a single step back and then lunged forward and bit down on the Zangoose's arm. Both the grunt and Zangoose were shocked at the tactics being used. "Alright, charge up discharge and then let him have it!" The officer told Luxio, having took advantage of the surprise of their opponents. Luxio's fur crackled and charged up electricity all over its body, the charging electricity traveled down its head and into Zangoose through the tightly gripped bite Luxio had on it. Luxio then let go, leaped back, and blasted Zangoose with the same electricity it was just shocked with. The Zangoose then flopped on its back and passed out. "Gah, Zangoose return!" The grunt shouted with great frustration as he pulled Zangoose back into its pokéball.
"One to go. Ok, Vulpix..." "... Crawdaunt use scald, extinguish those flames, NOW!" The grunt interrupted. Crawdaunt then spun with the flames and blasted water from its mouth. Even burned from the will-o-wisp, the Crawdaunt seemed ready to punish the Vulpix for its trickery. The grunt and officer shouted to their respective pokémon, "Crawdaunt!", "Vulpix", "Finish it off with crabhammer, full power!" "We got em right where we want em, use hex!" Vulpix's eyes shimmered, yet was cut off by the direct hit Crawdaunt laid into her. Flying back, the officer dove in and caught Vulpix before she hit the ground. "Oh Vulpix, sorry you got hurt so badly. Take a rest, ok." The officer took a pokéball out and sent Vulpix back. The grunt boasted, "down to my Crawdaunt and your Luxio. Not sure if he can take another hit though." The officer took a pokéball out. "It's done Luxio, great work." Luxio then nodded and went back into its ball. The grunt frustrated yelled, "Hey, not done! But if you're turning tail, Crawdaunt use knock off!" "I think you should take a closer look at your Crawdaunt." The officer said. "What are you talking about? I..." The burns on Crawdaunt were flaring up in hues of black and purple, burning him over and over again. Crawdaunt marched up slowly to the officer and took slow and steady breaths before finally toppling forward, no longer moving."
