The smokescreen was the perfect cover. Although Ren couldn't see if it had gotten to Shyn, she did know that she could make the most of it and keep Horsea guessing. [color=lightblue]"Shyn, go around the smokescreen the side your hair is parted on. Tackle the enemy when you're close enough."[/color] She wasn't going to make this easy for Oaken, nor Horsea. She already knew Shyn's hair was parted on the right-hand side, and thus knew he would be coming from that direction. It was a fifty-fifty chance whether Shyn could tackle Horsea; Ren hoped he could even tackle the seahorse into the smokescreen to make things even more complicated for Oaken's Pokemon. Oaken would need to plan ahead in order to counter Shyn's move, however even then there were many variables to account for. 

Ren herself didn't pay much attention to Lucian's comment, other than a simple [color=lightblue]"Thank you."[/color] Her attention was solely on the battle at hand; the lesson had already been taught, so now she wanted to see how well Oaken fared not only under pressure, but also in his smarts. [color=lightblue][i]'You always learn the little differences between Pokemon when you get to know them personally. This closeness is what separates the advanced trainers from the less-than. Let this be a test of things to come, Shyn, Oaken.'[/i][/color]

Of course, being so proud of his fur, Shyn immediately understood what direction he had to go and charged all along the right-hand side of the smokescreen. Thankfully he was close enough to the other trainers that Horsea hadn't smoked him - after all, the last thing it would want is to blind it's trainer even more. Making sure not to run into the smokescreen, Shyn sped along the outside, prepared to pounce at a moment's notice...
