[i]When it surfaces, leaving the water to attack, Clefable will send it rolling back with a Disarming Voice, hitting it back into the water or onto another mat.[/i] Dana glanced at the water, which—though crystal clear—would not be helpful in this particular battle. 

[color=LightSlateGray]“Minimize,”[/color] Dana said. Her Clefable waved her hands, shrinking in size so that the platform she was on dwarfed her even more.

[i]On the biggest platform, it’s just a waiting game,[/i] Dana thought. [i]And if the Sharpedo doesn’t get back into the water quickly, it’ll get knocked out with a Sing.[/i]

(Clefable — Disarming Voice (then Sing, followed by Wake-up Slap if necessary) > Sharpedo.)

Sharpedo emerged from the water with incredible speed by using Aqua Jet. Clefable was only barely able to dodge the attack. Not only was she able to dodge, but she also managed to counter attack with Disarming Voice a split second before Sharpedo disappeared into the water. On the surface, it was unclear if Disarming Voice did any damage, but in actuality, it was highly effective. Sure there were no scrapes or bruises, but the emotional damage ran deep. For the rest of the battle, Sharpedo was hesitant, which ultimately led to him loosing quickly. 

This was the theme for the rest of the battle. For every Pokemon Tiffany sent out, Dana's team was far too experienced. Not a one of her Pokemon landed anything more than a slight blow, not her two other Pokemon from home (Wailmer and Carvanah), and most definitely not her Gothita (whom she caught here in France earlier that day). 

Still though, Tiffany managed to end the battle with a smile, promising a different result next time around.
