Encounters - Clay

"Wow, that's a new trick. How'd you get it to do that?" Clay's undaunted though. A blue glow gathers at the "third eye" spot on his forehead, feeding power back into Sandy as the Marshtomp fires a heavy glob of mud that explodes right in the Electrode's face!

Clay uses Spirit Boost (Special Attack)!

Sandy uses Mud Bomb!

Clay does a very acrobatic flip around the corner when Bob warns him to take cover, because that sure doesn't sound like a figure of speech. Sandy is unfortunately not so lucky as he takes the brunt of a massive explosion. He weathers it surprisingly well, considerably... at least in that he's not completely splattered across the blast radius. He's still left blackened and obviously beaten, flat on his back.

Clay's eyes are wide when he peeks back around the corner. "... Wow. You gotta be careful with that thing. All your Pokémon don't do that, do they?" Granted, going boom is pretty much what Electrode do, and the big black bird in the impressive hat doesn't look terribly explosive.

It does look pretty big and tough, but Clay's got a big, tough monster of his own. "We're one for one. Get 'em, Red Child!" The Arcanine appears with a rumbling growl from deep in his chest, teeth bared. Clay raps out a sharp bark as the blue light from his brow winks out, to be replaced by a red light around his hands that's echoed by a glint from Red Child's teeth. Then Red Child rushes the bird with fire streaming from his jaws.

Plotting isn't good. Plotting is very not good. On the other hand, the best way to deal with plotting is to nip it in the bud. Or other places.

Clay barks out, "Try again! He's planning something, get him before he does it!"

Red Child remembers the incident with the Pikachu nest, too. He leaps after the bird, snapping at it again.

Oh, Red Child doesn't like that at all. He turns over the length of his body and batters at the Honchkrow with his powerful back legs, letting the pain of his injuries drive him.

"What? No way!" Clay's mad now. The change in the shade of Honchkrow's feathers gives him an idea, though. "You're gonna pay for that one... Mufomono! Let's put out this guy's fire!"

Mufomono crosses her arms, staring down the heavy-bodied bird with her dark-shaded eyes, and snaps her jaws threateningly. The same red aura that flashed from Red Child's fangs shines off of her teeth now, too - but rather than go in for a bite right away, she whirls around, kicking up swirling dust that surrounds the Honchkrow.

Mufomono's Init: 16
Clay's Shift: swap Red Child for Mufomono

Even if the attack misses, Mufomono still has an opening. Before the Honchkrow can recover from its sudden swerve, Mufomono attacks again, snapping at it with her powerful jaws!

Making it Dark-type again might have been a mistake... although not too much of one, since it makes Mufomono much more resistant to that nasty slash of its beak. She tries to whip up a stream of sand around it again, hoping this time it won't evade.

"Okay, what the heck is that thing?" Clay shakes his head. He recognizes the attack, though - the same sparkly energy that Delcatty had used. And it has pretty much the same effect on Mufomono now that it did then.

"Last chance, huh? Have to make this one count. Let's go, sis!" Fan tumbles onto the field with a defiant screech, and Clay screeches with her, their fists glowing red in unison now. "Burn it down!"

Fan cartwheels at the bird thing, battering it with fiery fists and swinging the flame on the end of her tail at its face as if to scorch it. Then she tumbles out of her acrobatic motion to swing a lightning jab at her opponent!

Fan's Initiative: 20

Fan does not like that cutting wind at all. The thing will take another flaming cartwheel as Clay bites his lip, hoping she can hold out long enough...

Fan is breathing hard, her fur rumpled and singed by her opponent's energy and showing a few cuts from that razor-sharp wind, but she's still standing. She grins fiercely at the thing and delivers another lightning-quick uppercut. This is one monkey who isn't going down without a fight.
