"Alright Kael, we got this! Nidoran is poison type right? And Poochyena is a dark type! That's like... pretty darn close to poison type! We should make for a pretty good team! Go Poochyena!" yelled Ted, as Poochyena jumped out of his arms, and landed on it's paws looking battle ready. Adrenaline was flashing through him, driving his excitement. He was finally going to be able to battle like those trainers did on TV! Poochyena emitted a guttural growl from deep within. Ted noted that Poochyena looked raring to rip. Ted looked to Desmond's Wurmple and Amy's Evee. They didn't look to pose much of a threat, but nonetheless, he could never judge a book by it's cover. He had to stay acute and alert in order to win this battle, that he knew. But, at the same time, he needed to correlate and collaberate with Kael. From what he had seen, Kael knew a lot more than he did about battling, so he should use that to his advantage. Dang, that Wurmple looked small and rather... pathetic? He felt a little bit of pity for Desmond that he had ended up with a vicious dog, when he had ended up with a tiny little worm. But then he remembered Rowan's words, "the sword is only as strong as the user." And if he knew something, it was Desmond had fighting spirit. He was going to have to be careful, even around Wurmple. "Okay Kael, what's the plan?" he said, turning to Kael.
