It was no good, wasn't it? She had hoped she could at least buff Del a bit more and lower his attack a bit more before committing to this strategy, but...there wasn't much else she could do at the moment. Chip away ignored foes changes to defense, which meant any defense buffs by Del would be useless. It'd be risky, but maybe an all-out offensive would work? It would certainly work better than playing defensive and just staving off defeat for a few more moves. If she was lucky, then maybe...since Chip away didn't ignore the stat changes on the user itself...wait a minute. Claire turned her head towards the bug buzzing near her, and then towards the Conkledurr. Someone on her team was not contributing at all. Well then. Claire waited until just before the Conkledurr was ready to attack before issuing her first command. [color=#d3381c]"Froakie, Growl attack the Conkledurr! Del, string shot! Try to stop him from moving and pull him down!"[/color] If she could stun him, even for a second - or just even temporarily prevent him from acting. It would give her a chance to tie the fighting type down completely. [color=#d3381c]"Ralia Another growl as well!"[/color] Meditite did know bide, and if she could survive just even one hit - it'd potentially deal quite a bit of damage. [color=#d3381c]"As for you, you little annoyance - "[/color] Claire suddenly grabbed Lure. [color=#d3381c]"GET IN THERE AND MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL!~"[/color] [color=f7941d]"C-COMBEE!?"[/color] Lure cried in a somewhat startled manner as she was grabbed by Claire, and finally - literally tossed right into the ring. [color=#d3381c]"No complaining!~ I'll buy ya something nice after!"[/color] Before the bee could object to what was about to happen any more, the redhead tossed the bug right towards the Conkledurr. Oh that insufferable human! Combee gave a powerful flap of her wings, trying to stop herself from a direct collision course with the Conkleduur - unintentionally sending a powerful gust right towards the fighting type. Assuming all went well, the Conkleduur's move would have at least interrupted or stalled enough to maybe allow her some room to move.
