If nothing else, Apple admired how well these trainers were doing for their first battle. Clearly some of them had prior Pokemon knowledge. But the Professor wasn't planning on going down without at least a little resistance. She already knew how everything worked, so she just as well knew Bailey's Duskull was the bigger threat, even if Miu herself was a more skillful trainer. Her Aron couldn't touch that Duskull, and her Honedge wouldn't do much...yet. That Poliwag, on the other hand, would also be capable of doing some damage. Aron could attest to that. If only to get Honedge ready to take on that other ghost-type, Poliwag was where Apple's attention was now. Especially after the Poliwag's second Bubble hit its mark, bringing Aron down with a metallic clunking sound. "Return," she ordered, opening the Steel/Rock's Pokeball. Now, on to that Poliwag. "Honedge, use Fury Cutter on that Poliwag!"

"Great job, Duskull," Bailey cheered. She sure looked excited. This was the first time she'd actually seen a Pokemon in action. Of course it was thrilling! Never before did she have this kind of power obeying her. The closest thing she'd had up until now was a family Chandelure that was supposedly just warding off bad luck. Caught in the thrill of the fight, Bailey eagerly ordered "Do it again! Send that Honedge packing!" She'd get to do this every day that she was on this adventure? Now she really wanted in!
