[b]"Atlas, use Whooper as a shield against their attacks. Whooper, fire a water-gun at the Growlithe: Atlas, attack at the same time with Mud Slap!"[/b] The combined assault should hurt whatever it hit, whether it be the Ducklett getting in the way or the trainer and his Growlith. Whooper should be able to take any attacks that came its way with ease, allowing his two Pokemon to barrage the enemy with ranged attacks until they were forced away. [b]"I'm trying to figure out if you two are smarter or more stupid than the average Bonny and Clyde, but either way you're not going to take me out that easily!"[/b] Dawkin announced confidently. His strategy should work, if not he'd bail and have to inform the professor about the dragon poaching these guys were planning, she'd know what to do about it. But that was a last resort, he planned to take care of things here and now! Taking down two criminals planning on poaching Pokemon would be a fantastic achievement at such an early point in his journey.
