And there's my catch-up. Only the last paragraph or two is really relevant, it's basically Shannon paralysing the Tyranitar then being flinched by Dark Pulse. Don't worry, it's a spread move in Mystery Dungeon, you'll all get affected too, just not as badly. (◉‿◉✿)

Sometimes I'm surprised Game Freak chose to make a move with such implications, considering their child-friendliness; You're forcing emotional trauma onto your opponent to inflict mental damage. Appropriate for the type, but a little unexpected.
