Ohhhhh so these kids were just playing make believe! The empty channel was their kingdom and they were the residents, well, 'royalty' in some cases. [color=8882be]"Then I, Basil the Bard, shall be your opponent!"[/color] He said as he whipped his mandolin from his bag only for his face to light up red when he realized what he said. [color=8882be][i]That was embarrassing. Please, please kill me.[/i][/color] Basil thought to himself. 

But that would have to wait as first battle began! Basil had sent in Lupin the Sneasel out to fight against the "knight's" Rattata with the complex strategy of just using Tackle. The strategy to counter this one was really simple; take advantage of Lupin's superior reach and greater speed to land Scratch attacks before the Rattata could even land a hit until it could no longer fight. It probably would not take very long considering they aren't known for being able to taking many hits.

For the second Rattata, the second verse was the same as the first except if they were given the chance, Basil would have Lupin grab its tail if the Rattata was clumsy in its use of tail whip and beat the living hell out of it with Scratch.

Once the battle ended, a young girl in green came up to bat. It looked like she was playing along with them as well. [color=8882be]"Well met, mercenary! Let's battle!"[/color] Jesus Pokemon Christ could he stop?

Against the Skitty, Basil had sent in Cecil and while there was nothing they could do about the Fake Out, they could at least keep it at a distance. Cecil had been ordered to use Incinerate to keep the Skitty back and to take advantage of the tight, narrow space where it should have been pretty difficult to avoid projectiles. Should the Skitty somehow find a way through, Cecil would use Tackle to throw in some heavy damage. 

When that battle ended, the little girl that they were protecting decided to join the fray. [color=8882be]"Well, uh, good luck princess."[/color] Should he really be beating preschool children like this?

Against the "princess," Cecil was kept out against the Pidgey and used the same strategy of using Incinerate though this was mainly because the bloody thing could fly and avoid close quarter attacks. The Pidgey would have to come down to attack her anyway so it would have to maneuver the flaming projectiles coming its away. 

For the Buneary, he sent Lupin in against it. To keep the Buneary from abusing Defense Curl, Lupin was ordered to use Taunt to aggravate it into attack only to follow up with its own flurry of Scratch attacks.
