>>21913014Sophia cursed silently as she saw her final attack did little more than scratch her rocky opponent. She was out of offensive power and she knew it; it was time to get out of there.
With the double cannons pointed at her and scoring direct hits, she was out of defensive power as well. Slumping to the ground, the Gardevoir was out cold.
>>21913306Mike had managed to stun his opponent long enough to get free, but he was still in big trouble. Having no previous experience with weapons of any kind, he'd simply gotten a lucky shot, and his opponent was about to prove it. If he was fast enough, he might be able to avoid getting hit; either way, he wouldn't be able to get another stab of his own in, nor would he be able to replace fallen Pokemon. [Evens are a narrow dodge, odds are a direct hit.]
The rest of Mike's main team was still out, and they took up the fight in Sophia's place. Cassandra, Mike's Absol, was the next challenger to step up. Lunging forward with a Night Slash, the Razor Claw around her neck gleaming, she was looking to cut right through the Registeel's metal hide. [0 or 2 crit.]
