Watching as the two attacks collided, Bakuto had to brace himself as the sand that started to fly made it hard to see his Absol.  He had to shield his eyes slightly to keep sand from getting into them.   Fearing the worst out come when the dust and sand clears, but when it does clear and Absol is still standing tall. Bakuto couldn't help but crack a smile.  When he saw Henri return his Diglett back to his pokeball he knew the battle was over.

Absol walked back over to Bakuto, who pulled out a pokeball then leans down to his Absol, [color=lightblue]"Need a rest buddy?"[/color]  Absol pushes the center of the pokeball and the red light of the pokeball envelops Absol as it goes into its pokeball to have a bit of rest after that pokemon battle.  Bakuto walked over and when he heard the praises for his strategy counter and attack with another attack.  Bakuto then says in response to the praises for his attacks, [color=lightblue]"Didn't really have much choice.  I did something similar against your Rhydon before and figured it might work again."[/color]
 
When he was presented the badge.  Bakuto pulls out his badge case and opens it up currently empty as Bakuto takes the Ground badge the very first one that will be going into the case he smiles then says cheerfully, [color=lightblue]"My first badge awesome.  But that battle did teach me one thing and that is that my pokemon and I both need to get stronger as we barely got by with just my current pokemon.  As you said before if that Bulldoze would have connected with Absol then we would have been done there.  Well I need to get to the pokemon center.  My pokemon could use a good healing after that battle.  Thank you for that amazing  battle."[/color]  After that if there wasn't much more Bakuto gets ready to leave to head back to the pokemon center to get his pokemon the proper rest and healing they need for after the gym battle.[/indent]
