Gyarados' incessant tantrum of a Thrash heavily damages Greninja and sends him flying. Although he recovers, it's the first instance of you experiencing Greninja's fragility, which acts as a set example for you for future battles. Letting Greninja take even one hit could mean the difference between victory and loss, he is no bulkmaster.
"Greninja, while he's down, use Power-Up Punch!"
"Nin, nin!"
Lysandre's tentacles grasp at him, tightly clenching onto his skull as he twitches and quivers, "N-No....NO! I REFUSE TO LOSE! I REFUSE TO GIVE INTO THE MACHINE! I MUSTN'T FORGET WHAT THIS BATTLE IS FOR! YOU SHALL NOT GET THE BEST OF ME, YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! Gyarados, Dragon Dance! A boost is always welcome during times of immobility!"
"Gyaraaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The sea dragon flops about awkwardly while imprisoned in the grassy knots, unable to dance properly--/fuck/, unable to dance properly even without being tied up.
>Gyarados' Atk rose!>Gyarados' Spd rose!Greninja whirls his fist up, puts in all of his power, and delivers a striking blow to Gyarados' face, turning him over at the cost of ripping the knots apart. The serpent gets up with a noticeable black eye.
