<span class="mu-r">"Hah, let's set the stage!"</span> You shout. You've really gotten into character here. <span class="mu-r">"NINETAILS, USE SMOKESCREEN!"</span>
She growls, and then from her muzzle expels hours of black, swirling smoke, jumping left and right as she does so in order to cover the other side of the field.
<span class="mu-s">MANKEY'S ACCURACY FALLS!</span>
<span class="mu-s">CHICORITA'S ACCURACY FALLS!</span>
You hear coughing and gasping from inside the noxious cloud, and cast a wicked grin to Leslie.
She returns the look and then points across the deck. <span class="mu-b">"Over there, Cass, use psychic on Mankey!"</span>
Your partner's Espeon purrs affirmatively, and stiffens her posture by planting her paws. Her two-ended tail swishes in either direction once, and then an invisible force punches through the cloud of concealing smoke right towards the unexpecting Mankey! A perfect circular window is created as the psychic energy pushes the smog out of the way, and you see the enemy pokemon tumble backwards from the mental strike. It starts to rise back up to its feet, one eye half-closed from the headache it's sure to be feeling.
You can hear Terra beyond the cloud, but can't quite see her. She calls out a command to her own pokemon. "CHICORITA, USE RAZOR LEAF ON ESPEON NOW!"
Six green crescents explode from the smoke, whizzing to your side of the field!
But the projectiles aren't anywhere near landing home on their target. They are fanned out, too high, and the nearest to striking Cassandra misses by eight feet at least. All of them zip off and into the open ocean behind you.
"Darn it!" Terra complains.
You can only see him partially, but it seems Mikey is shifting his stance, fists raised before him offensively. "Alright then! MANKEY, USE YOUR FURY SWIPES ON NINETAILS, GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!"
The ape takes an identical fighting stance. "MANK-EEEEEYAH!" It replies angrily, and then leaps from the smoke fully, bounding right for Ninetails!
It feints to the side in an arc with a cartwheel as it closes in, and then lunges to batter Ninetails in the side. ONE, TWO! THREE, FOUR! FIVE, <span class="mu-i">SIX</span>! Furious swings land in her midsection! She's knocked aside with a surprised bark, but barrel rolls into the momentum to regain her footing.
"Great job, Mankey!" The young martial artist congratulates his pokemon loudly from the other side of the deck.
