Chloe looked a bit surprised by the command to pick up Growlithe to attack Gastly, but after thinking it through Chloe got a wide smile.

[color=fff79e]‘Growlithe! Let yourself be picked up and Bite that Gastly!’[/color] Chloe called excitedly and approved of the strategy. Growlithe obeyed the command and leapt to be helped by Velvet. Velvet retracted her ears, Growlithe graced on top of her, and then the ears shot out like a pair of high-power springs and Growlithe was sent flying with a howl. A stunned Gastly's eyes widened even further than normal as a fire dog with barred teeth suddenly impacted it from straight in front, doing super-effective damage.

Gastly flinched!

Mareep, meanwhile, did what it had intended to and shot a Thunder Wave at the spot where Velvet and Growlithe had previously occupied, now only attended by Velvet. The electricity hit and coursed through her body, targeting her muscles. Velvet was paralyzed!

[color=ff2929]‘Uh, you need help with that Growlithe?’[/color] the red-haired one asked.

[color=9396a3]‘I got this, focus on the Buneary!’[/color] the white-haired replied, confident.

Next round, Velvet started insulting Gastly on Cyril's command. But, it was a little hard to get Gastly's attention when there was a dog biting its face. Outspeeding the dog, Gastly attempted to use Hypnosis again! … But a combo of being somewhat distracted by an insult to its trainer and the fact Growlithe wouldn't stay still long enough to fall asleep, Growlithe dodged the sleepy waves and hounded in for another wicked Bite! It's Super Effective! Gastly fainted!

Mareep, meanwhile, threw a Thundershock at Velvet, who found herself somewhat damaged by the electric sheep. Mareep’s trainer was also giving a side-eye at his partner, who had said he’d have Growlithe sorted.

Now Spheal came out.

[color=9396a3]‘Haha, come on, fire-type! Crush them under your weight, Spheal!’[/color] the white-haired one called.

This is when Cyril asked if Chloe wanted to think of a plan. She looked out over the battlefield curiously, and then she broke into a wide grin.

[color=fff79e]‘Send out Budew, we're going to need the Absorb damage!’[/color] Chloe said, before excitedly turning to the battlefield.

[color=fff79e]‘Growlithe! Bite on Mareep, pick it up, and ram into Spheal with it!’[/color]

Growlithe proceeded to run straight to a somewhat stunned Mareep and bite into its side!

Now, Growlithe was perhaps not quite capable of picking up Mareep, but he sure could drag the panicking sheep along! Not happy to be pulled, the sheep started throwing lightning shocks. While damaging, neither that nor static was managing to paralyze the hound as it turned towards the incoming rolling round seal…!

[color=ff2929]‘Hey, don’t crush my Mareep!’[/color] the red-haired one called.

[color=9396a3]‘Spheal! Target him from his side!’[/color] the white-haired one commanded.

Spheal attempted to roll to hit Growlithe in the side… but Growlithe was a way faster turner than Spheal and as such managed to collide the Mareep into the rolling Spheal!

Mareep fainted!

Spheal was paralyzed by Static!

… Except, even with paralyzation, Spheal kept rolling, building power as it was coming around a tree…!

This was when Grimer was going to be sent out.

[color=fff79e]‘Yes! It worked! It’s paralyzed!’[/color] Chloe called about her fortune with the putting Mareep in the way plan. [color=fff79e]‘But, uh, it’s not stopping…’[/color] she then remarked, and it was time to figure out a new plan.

Does Cyril do anything in particular?
