Skuntank might have caught its breath back, but it's pretty clear that getting hit in the throat by Rusty rattled it and weakened it into the bargain.
You also realise you're seeing the fruits of Rusty's supplements while he was shedding - he's moving more nimbly now because his carapace is lighter than it was and as a side benefit, it seems like he wasn't as effected by that Flamethrower as he otherwise might have been.
His aura is still down from bright green to pale green, but considering Steel types are weak to Fire moves, that's still remarkably little damage. Even from a fairly weak Flamethrower.
"<span class="mu-i">cunt.</span>" The guy mutters under his breath, but doesn't actually issue an order straight away, just glares pure venom at you.
Which, if he's convinced that Rusty hitting Skuntank in the throat was deliberate, fair enough, you guess but that *was* an accident.
You get the feeling he's wised up a little though and is now determined to win, even if he is two pokemon down.
