Buck, the brown-haired sailor, took a concerned glance in the direction of his other two brothers from other mothers. They were having difficulty in their battles. He took to his beard as he often did. Stroking the fine, curly hairs, the sailor mumbled to himself. He slid his palms against the side of his face and smacked his temples, continuing to mutter. Returning his gaze to Machop, his shoulders square, it appeared he’d made up his mind.

The tackle made solid connection with the square of Machop’s back. It sent him stumbling forward, not knocked over but working to catch his balance. The trainer found his opportunity in these moments.

I thought in this post Buck tackled his Pokemon to push it forward, leading to my own assistance. Oops, :<
