Amber nodded. [color=chocolate]"Ok, Yanma, Quick Attack, then move out of the way!"[/color] Yanma flew at one of the Rufflets in a blur, then sped away from it, drawing it towards Kabuto and the Torchic. As Kabuto swiped, the bird screeched, turning its attacks on the fossil Pokemon. [color=chocolate]"Now, Kabuto, Harden!"[/color] Amber shouted. Kabuto's shell shone like polished stone, resisting the Rufflet's attacks. [color=chocolate]"Yanma! Another Quick Attack!"[/color] While the Rufflet kept up its ineffectual attempts to cause any damage, Yanma zoomed towards it and knocked it aside.

As Amber's two Pokemon fought as a team, Nyxx's Buneary and Swablu were also working together, in quite a different way. At the sound of objects crashing to the ground, Amber glanced over to see Nyxx jump up from under a pile of books.

[color=chocolate]"Watch out!"[/color] she yelled, dodging as a squawking Rufflet flew in their direction. Yanma slammed into it from the side. It resumed chasing the bug Pokemon, flying into Kabuto's path... but this time, it flipped the fossil Pokemon over. Kabuto wriggled around on his back, stubby legs waving helplessly in the air. Yanma tipped him the right way up, but as she did so, a Rufflet jabbed its beak at her. Flitting backwards and letting out a cry, Yanma wobbled in the air.

Amber felt her ribs tighten. [color=chocolate]"Both of you, hang in there! You're doing great!"[/color] she encouraged. The bird Pokemon looked to be on the verge of fainting, but they still wouldn't stop attacking.
