At first, he was happy the attack hit for a second time, but that quickly turned from happiness into despair quickly.  The gym leader told his pokemon to use Smack Down. A rock move that could prove very bad for Ninjask.  Not only because his pokemon is a bug type, but because the move would remove his pokemon's advantage against ground type moves as well.  Instinctively Bakuto yells to Ninjask, [color=lightblue]"Avoid it Ninjask!"[/color] 

Ninjask tries to avoid the move with its speed.  It looked like it would, but gets clipped by the move.  Ninjask is smacked into the ground.  Even a glancing blow was super effective against  Ninjask.  The pokemon fights to get back up, fighting not to faint just from the move that hit it. Ninjask regains somewhat of a balance but it was hurt.   It says its name wanting to keep fighting, Bakuto calls with the pokeball that he pulled out, [color=lightblue]"Ninjask Return!"[/color]  The red light envelops the flying bug pokemon, and it returns to its pokeball.  Bakuto smiles, [color=lightblue]"Knew this wouldn't be easy.  Absol, you are up buddy. Time for the main event."[/color]

The white and red pokemon perks up and springs onto the field to face the Rhydon. Absol looking ready to go staring down the big rock pokemon.  Ths time Bakuto didn't have a type advantage or disadvantage, so now the battle would be whose pokemon was better.  Bakuto wastes no time to get things started, [color=lightblue]"Absol, lets start things off quickly, hit that Rhydon with a Shadow ball!"[/color]  Starting things off with a ghost move,  The Red Absol quickly creates a dark ball of shadows then fires it right at Rhydon almost as quickly as Bakuto called out the attack.  Looking to hit and batter the Rhyhorn with a ghost attack.[/indent]
