Lady took a deep breath, her eyes land on the ice gym leader, "Let's do this."
Potchy barked in agreement.
"Right," The gym leader said, "Go, Snover!"
The tree-like Pokemon burst from its ball, and growled (Lady thinks it did anyway).
Grass Ice...I can't use Dig against him...alright let's try a shadow ball fused bite! Lady thinks.
"Potchy! Use shadow ball, but don't release it!"
Potchy flinged back a look of surprise, but did as Lady asked. The shadow ball formed quickly between his teeth. The gym leader laughed, "I knew I recognized you! Be more original, darling! Using Daddy's moves in my gym won't work! Snover, Razor Leaf!"
The Snover used the attack at such a speed that Lady didn't have time to recover from the gym leaders words before Potchy's own attack hit him at the same time as Snover's.
Potchy struggled to get up, and glanced back at Lady with a look of 'what now?'.
All of Lady's plan went down the drain- if this leader already fought her father and Grace the Mightyena, then all the moves and combos she'd planned on were sunk. She tried to swallow her nervousness, "Uhh...Potchy, u-use swagger!"
Potchy puffs out his chest, and watches as Snover grows confused by the action, and prepares its attack. He looked back to Lady again, and watched her eyes flicker back and forth.
"Snover, Ice Beam!" The leader shouted.
Lady jerked back into battle mode, "Potchy, use dig, quick!"
Potchy had barely made it under the ground in time, and slowly dug his way towards the Snover. Lady glanced back to the Snover, "Potchy, use bite!"
Potchy bursted from the ground directly behind Snover, and bit the cone tip of the pokemon's head.
Snover flinged Potchy off of itself. Last Second, Lady got an idea, "Now, Shadowball!"
Potchy fired the ball of shadows, and hit the Snover directly with a stunning critical hit. The Snover fainted and the ice leader returned it to its pokeball.
"Go, Sneasel!"
Sneasel has a high speed stat, and Lady knew that. And yet, she kept going instead of trying to a dodge then swagger like she would have if she had not been panicking mid-battle, "Shadowball!"
"Ice beam!"
Potchy's Shadowball was over powered quickly, and he took the full force of the ice beam, and collapsed.
