Desmond's head tilted at the Squirtle's disobedience; What was it's problem, anyhow? It continued to give Lily a difficult time; But that was good for Desmond, as it made the fight easier for Ivysaur. Sadly an increased defense would hinder his damage; But an evolved Pokemon like Ivysaur could make up the difference as long as she hit properly.

As the Squirtle spun towards Ivysaur, they took action. "Ivysaur! Razor Leaf!" Desmond commanded, and Ivysaur did as she was told; Launching a burst of it's leafs at the Squirtle, only to miss the shell's openings; Instead the leafs just bounced off it's protective shell. This wouldn't work; Squirtle was spinning too fast.

"Dodge it, Ivysaur!" Desmond shouted, as his Ivysaur attempted to jump to the side to avoid being hit; But the Squirtle's shell caught her hind leg, causing her to fall onto her face. She recovered fairly quick however, and turned to attempt to follow the shell. A plan would be nice to have about now; If only she knew what the situation called for.

"Vine Whip won't work on the shell either..." Desmond muttered, contemplating his options. The Squirtle could easily withstand his attacks with that shell; He needed to slow it down so Ivysaur could get in there. 

But... How?
