Minor League. [/hider] [hr] [color=#d3381c]"Ahaha, atta boy!"[/color] Claire made a victory pose, grinning brightly as she recalled Zeal to his pokeball. [color=#d3381c]"Mt. Strength. Good luck, though, they're kinda tough to deal with."[/color] She waved Diana off before zooming down the road. The next battle went less well...it was difficult to say, really. Laurel and Tez did a pretty good job. One of the doduo's fainted quickly. They followed up with a Swablu, who was a bit more difficult. Laurel was taking a beating by now, and soon he couldn't take much more. With a small cry, Claire recalled him to his pokeball. Ralia managed to get off a Double Team, but she couldn't avoid the birds fury attack, but as luck would have it soon the Swablu had fainted from Tez's and Ralia's combined attacks. Much to her own surprise, the other trainer sent out his second pokemon. [color=#d3381c]"Alright, you wanna play like that..."[/color] Claire smirked. Doduo would likely be weaker by now, so they should try and focus him first. Not much of a change of strategy here. Ralia ran a ranged attack, whilst Tez worked from the front to try and soak up hits and do damage. Assuming everything went well, then she wouldn't need much of a strategy. With them as focused on Ralia though...hm...perhaps? [color=#d3381c]"Ralia! Double team! Focus on evasion! Tez, hang back and use Psywave."[/color] If they wanted to try and hit a squishy target, then why not let them try!
