Oh, well, he wasn't expecting a free switch in though he takes those! 

For as much overwhelming strength it had, it was useless if it couldn't even reach Crocus, which was odd actually. Couldn't Lorette just order the Escavlier to use its strength to launch itself towards them instead of skipping along at a snail's pace? Eh, better to not question it. 

[color=8882be]"Crocus, stay out of range and use leech seed!"[/color] The strategy was pretty obvious; drain it of its health points instead of trying to break through its impregnable defense with brute force. Even if that armored bug somehow found a way to hit the Bulbasaur, Basil's Pokemon would simply heal off a decent portion of the damage taken.
