Ethan was confident in Shelgon since its hard shell was perfect for defense plus it was the strongest of his Pokemon. He nodded while staring down the grunts as Kai spoke [color=f7941d][b]"We'll send them packing!"[/b][/color] His voice was confident, although perhaps more so posturing than anything. There were so many questions running inside his head but no time to worry about them. The head grunt had his Houndour charge in [color=ed1c24][b]"Houndour! Ember!"[/b][/color] The rough voice shouted.

A shot of flames coursed forward aimed at Kai [color=f7941d][b]"Shelgon, use Protect and cover Kai!"[/b][/color] A shine washed over Shelgon's barrel body as his partner rushed forward to intercept the flames. For a couple seconds, flames encased the body of Shelgon before they dissipated leaving him unharmed. The irritated grunt did not have time to react as Ethan called his next command [color=f7941d][b]"Push'em back with a headbutt!"[/b][/color] Shelgon did not hesitate, showing the trust he had for his trainer. Despite being notoriously slow and heavy, Shelgon rushed ahead with some speed.

The unknown grunt showed a slight look of apprehension [color=ed1c24][b]"Dodge Houndour!"[/b][/color] It was too late for the Pokemon. As Houndour tried to moved out of the way, the 'forehead' of Shelgon smashed into its side. The weight behind the hit sent the Houndour flying a few feet, sand getting kicked up as it rolled across the desert. Ethan's eyes turned to Averi as the other two grunts' Pokemon came forward while the Houndour shakily stood up.
