But if it did, it didn't last long as her grin simply grew wider. Of course it wouldn't be so easy as to find the answer right away, it wouldn't be a challenge if it was so simple right? Perhaps it also gave some insight into her...wild personality, to put it kindly. This did however give her an idea of how he was 'not going to make it easy', eyeing the debris in particular it created. Could she pull off something with it? She had a million ideas racing through her mind, most of which weren't really realistic nor applicable in this situation. Maybe if she had caught one of Espurrs, she could do something different? Eh no matter, she just had to work with what she had. [color=37B5A9]"Eh its praetty buysic, anyone weeth hahf a moind faw bahttlin wouldve thaw' of ih'."[/color] She didn't view it as 'impressive' instincts, she thought it was pretty much common sense. Sure a smokescreen would've been a more effective play, but just obscuring the vision temporary was enough of a play to maybe get an edge so she made do with the next best thing. If it came down to it though, if he thought attempt one was impressive, wait till he saw what she had planned for attempt five... [hider=Compliments are lost on her] [color=37B5A9]"Eh its pretty basic, anyone with half a mind for battling wouldve thought of it."[/color] [/hider] People should pray she wouldn't have to rely on it. Though she wasn't sure how proceed from here for attempt two. She could attempt the same thing, make a slight alteration? But that probably rely on him reacting the same way, so she dismissed that idea for now. The Smog play would probably remain in use, it was really the only way she could give her mons much in the way of cover. She could maybe attempt to continue to bombard with ranged attacks? He could just hammer arm and put debris in the way again though. Much to consider, and she was doing so in pretty quick time really. She may be a act first, think later type of gal mostly, when it came to battling a thrill she found was trying to problem solve on the fly. Not that she had really done any bar trying to put herself in anothers shoes when she watched them fight and think about what she would do. She didnt want to use what she would save for the last attempt if she had no other choice, it was pretty stupid and crazy honestly. And that was coming from her. [color=37B5A9]"Eh, whoy nawt."[/color] With a shrug, she decided to try something admittedly pretty basic, but maybe a classic would work? Then again her pokemon were still very green so none of her plans could possibly even be feasible with em, but eh it was the idea that counted right? [hider=Plz work] [color=37B5A9]"Eh, why not."[/color] [/hider] [color=37B5A9]"Dusk laets staht weeth anuhthah Smog, geeve em haell weeth some Embah oolsao. Steve, Oy wahnt yah t'...." [/color]Calling her pokemon back over, she spoke in a softer tone so as to not be heard, though she was still making some rather...animated and exaggerated hand gestures. Once that was over, the Wingul was just left staring off into the distance as if some eldritch being had just talked to it, but still nodded as for the sake of convenience it understood Steph. [hider=Eldritch Whispers] [color=37B5A9]"Dusk lets start with another Smog, give em hell with some Ember also. Steve, I want you to...."[/color] [/hider] With his approach hopefully covered by the Smog, her plan was to have Steve burst out of the smog and start blasting water gun at the Metagross the moment it was spotted, and then aim to just do flyby water guns from different angles, but mostly Steve's use here was to drop off the once more curled up into a ball Glory so he could Aqua Jet into some of the debris nearby just before leaving the Smog. Effectively the idea was to pinball and try and pick up speed by bouncing off the debris, or at least make the ability to judge what angle Glory was attacking from more difficult. And if Glory somehow got close enough to do this? Pocket Sand the Metagross in the face, aka use Sand Attack. If nothing else, it would hopefully make a later attempt easier to land. Or you know if you worked, helped the Metagross get hit in the face by the follow up Aqua Jet. The idea would be more...interesting if Metagross hammer armed the ground again and thusly left Glory more debris, and potentially airborne debris, to work with. If nothing else, Steph wanted to learn this Metagross's moveset.
