@Pink MadnessThe Flabébé smiled as happily as ever as it impacted the Vulpix, and then it started drifting away. Then, the command to Tail Whip was given, and the white Pokémon on a flower blinked as it was hit by the status-effecting attack. While it drifted as happily as before, it had definitely been hit.
'… Continue tackling until I give a different command.' Cathia said, keeping frowning as she knew what this meant. Flabébé just smiled happily and accelerated down through the air for another tackle, despite its defence being lowered.

@Rune_AlchemistSven kept the charge coming as Ralia focused for the Confusion. And, indeed, Ralia got off its attack, the psychic attack hitting the Swinub, which twitched from the damage on the way. However, apart from jiggling a bit on the way and having to readjust its heading, it was undeterred, and...
'Swi...!' Sven impacted its tackle against Ralia. Ralia would find herself damaged and thrown somewhat back... but not as badly as she could have been. The Growl was showing its work. … Maybe more worrying was the fact that the Swinub, damaged but unrelenting, was still heading for her new location in full haste, and there was much less distance between them now compared to earlier.
Ewan looked on silently, as this was the strategy which he could see had the highest chance of success, hunt down the enemy on as close a range as possible with tackle after tackle.

@Keyblade87Joshua, who had so eagerly been watching Ewan from the side, smiling while inspecting Claire carefully, looking from her to Ewan with obvious intent. Then, his attention was called as Reiji approached, his smile disappearing as he turned to face his adversary.
He sighed a bit, crossing his arms and placing one hand on his headphone while closing his eyes.
'Aaah. That's what I get for being distracted, I got matched up with a guy when the majority of the opponents are girls. Typical.' … Then, he opened his eyes and inspected Reiji. He raised his eyebrows a little, looking him up and down, Joshua's expression turning from disappointment, to surprise, and eventually to interest.
'Still, you're pretty cool. I like your style, kid~! Show me what you got, wooo~!' He visibly turned a lever on his headphones, increasing the volume of whatever he was listening to. Joshua grabbed a Pokéball and threw it into the air, grinning the whole while.
'And we'll show 'em what we got! Go, Pichu~!'And after a little flash of the Pokéball hitting the ground a small yellow mouse-creature with black outlines on the ears, a small black tail, two black eyes, two red cheeks and a tiny happy smiling mouth showing towards his opponent.
'Pichu!' The creature sounded out, eager to get into action, taking a prepared battle stance.
Pokédex Entry #172 – Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon. It can store electricity in its cheeks, but it's unstable, and may accidentally discharge upon startled or feeling other emotions that my cause it to lose focus. When playing with other Pichu, they touch tails and set off sparks as a test of courage.
'Yeah, you go, Pichu! You're the best little buddy a trainer could hope for!' Joshua called out to his Pokémon, and...
'Pichu~!' The little Pokémon actually looked embarrassed, lifting an arm to scratch behind its head while small sparks of electricity came from its already red cheeks in place of blushing.

@Pikmin Eye@Eklispe@Lasrever'… Best?' Simon somehow heard that word from a fairly large distance to where Joshua was starting his fight, and looked over.
'… Nonono.' Simon said to himself, turning back to his own fight.
'#2 is obviously the best, and if she isn't, she'll become the best!' So Simon nodded to himself, suddenly distracted.
Aron used Mud-Slap, digging into the ground and then throwing up the mud to defend itself. Indeed, the mud impacted the ember, but the mud did not carry on. In fact, the force of the ember turned out to be the stronger of the two, and the mud shattered aside from the impact. The ember had been stopped, only the heat of it being felt and not the actual ball of fire, but the Mud-Slap was also stopped by the impact. Maggy kind of paused, blinking at the ineffective Ember.
The Natu and the Nincada impacted, Peck piercing a little and Nincada striking back against the Natu. The bird recoiled, bouncing back from the hit with a passive stare at the bug. The Peck had likely done the most damage, even with Nincada's defense, but then Leech Life had regained it some health. In the end, it was unclear which was the more damaged. Then the Aron was commanded to tackle it, and as commanded the bird stayed clear of the iron Pokémon. Ellyn frowned, watching the scene.
Then... it was Winston. Maple kept her eyes on the Wooper as he headed off towards the wall, quite concerned about what the Water/Ground-type might do considering the type-advantage. However, she did not expect... that. Her and Maggy's eyes both got wide with surprise as Winston launched himself through the air towards Maggy...
'MAGGY, DEFEND YOURSELF!' Maple desperately commanded, and Maggy looked around in panic before her eyes met with the nearby smiling Hoppip.
'Hoppip?' #2 asked, before suddenly Maggy determinedly grabbed the Hoppip with both hands and lifted it above her head towards the incoming Wooper.
'… PIIIIP!' #2 suddenly gave a cry of pain, it's tiny arms and legs flinging as it appeared to feel considerable amount of discomfort, specifically from Maggy's hands...
Simon #2 was inflicted with Burn by Maggy's Flame Body!
And then Winston impacted into the pained Hoppip, likely causing an imaginary shower of stars and light-effects as #2 flew out of Maggy's hands somewhere backwards while Winston bounced back since Maggy was holding back the blow, Maggy and Maple both looking a bit confused by this impact. As this was a contact move which Winston doesn't naturally know, it qualifies as Struggle, and as such Winston suffered a bit of damage as well. However, Hoppip's body's so light and likely rather soft, the damage would not be considerable.
#2 flew off a bit and landed a fair bit behind Maggy...
'WAH!' Simon suddenly recovered from being distracted, staring in shock at his Pokémon flying off.
'#2! USE SYNTHESIS!''…' There was a bit of silence from the burned and hurt Hoppip lying on its back, before two tiny hands reached into the air.
'HOP!' A green glow came, and the little grass-created healed from most of the damages and jumped back on its feet, but it was a bit away from the action now.
'Th-that Wooper is really dangerous...!' Maple stated, bouncing a bit in place. Ellyn looked back and forth a bit, and then clicked her tongue.
'Tsk. I'll handle it. Cover me from the other two.' Ellyn said.
'Bird. Fly up in the Wooper's face and Leer it. Then Peck it to oblivion. Don't give it the time to Water Gun Maggy.' Ellyn commanded. As commanded, the Natu turned from the other two and jumped with considerable speed away from the other two to Winston, now separated from the other two, to first get in front of it to use Leer, a glare which lowers the enemy's defence, and then it was intending on proceeding with Peck.
'A-alright! Maggy, don't let the other two help out their team-member! Ember whichever comes close! You're effective against both!' Maple commanded, wide-eyed and looking on, Maggy focusing another fire-ball looking at the other two for their next move.
'Get back to defending Maggy, #2! She needs you...!' Simon commanded a bit desperately, and albeit burned, #2 happily started making her way. … But she had a bit to go.
