While the imp mocked its barely-conscious ally, Lacey squeaked to cheer on Skoll, bending down and tapping him on the paw as if doing a fist bump. Staggering to her feet, Sophia smirked at the grunts and their Pokemon. [color=orchid]"Heh, so much for teamwork."[/color] Oscar would probably say it was rich coming from her, but for all their bickering earlier, she couldn't deny they made a decent team right now. Their Pokemon certainly did.

The grin disappeared from her face when the little goblin, Impidimp, leapt forward. Reflect wasn't a perfect barrier, merely an energy field that dampened incoming physical attacks, and she looked on in shock as the Impidimp bit down on Lacey's arm. [color=orchid]"Ah! Lacey!"[/color] With a squeal, the Gothita stumbled back as her opponent let go, but remained standing. Her Reflect and Skoll's Intimidate had offset the type advantage, but still, a dark move? Considering the purple mask, was the Impidimp a dark type?

At the other grunt's command for his Haunter to retaliate against Skoll, Sophia tensed, but no attack came. The ghost seemed too startled to move - an opening. [color=orchid]"You've got this, Lacey!"[/color] Sophia called. [color=orchid]"Take out that Haunter with Psybeam!"[/color] Lacey stared down the Haunter, shooting a multicoloured beam from her eyes. If Skoll's next attack was enough to knock out the Impidimp, that should turn the tables, or so Sophia could only hope.
