Gemini was the fastest of the four, so its Camouflage was first, the cold hard concrete turning the Star Shape Pokémon a greyish blue and making it Normal-type. Spiegel was up next, forgetting about Absol's Pressure and countering it with a Scary Face, overwhelming the Disaster Pokémon with an aura of bloodlust, making it slightly wary of its foe.
Nevertheless it was time to move. Absol started running all around the battle area, quickly reaching it's formidable top speed, which caused it to leave afterimages in its wake. Anyone trying to attack it, would have to guess correctly, or face the consequences. Not one to let some random Charmeleon intimidate its friend, Mawile rushed towards Spiegel, snapping it out of its intimidation tactic. The Flame Pokémon braced itself for an attack, only for Mawile to stop an inch away from its foe's face, turn around and open it's huge maw like horns, before snapping them shut, sending Spiegel falling backwards and slightly hurting it. As it got up, the mental image of a large predator bearing down on it still haunted Spiegel's mind. It would take a while to snap out of it.
Noticing this, Gemini didn't waste time and quickly spun around behind the retreating Mawile's back and let fly with a Water Gun. The jet of water sent Mawile flying back towards Spiegel and Mawile landed at its feet, visibly hurt by the attack as it stood up and distanced itself from the still shocked Charmeleon.
Absol saw this as a chance to sneak in an attack, rushing out from the rows of afterimages, it charged its sharp claws with an ominous ghostly aura and slashed at Spiegel who, for a moment, could feel life itself escaping its body. What's more, the attack seemed to hurt it more than it should've, bringing the already badly punished Charmeleon to it's knees. It wasn't out though. Not yet. Not when its Trainer's pride was on the line. It got up to ready a Smokescreen when... Where was Mawile.
Mawwwwwiiilleee...
Spiegel reacted to the sound but it was too late. Reappearing from the left flank, Mawile's Faint Attack hit Spiegel and sent it flying. Things were looking grim for it now. Once again the tough as nails Pokémon got up. That was it. Spewing out a thick cloud of black smoke that utterly blinded its two opponents, Spiegel gestured to its teammate. It was Gemini's turn. As per Daria's orders, Gemini released a flurry of bright star-like beams from its gem.
The stars disappeared into the smoke and only the cries of the Pokémon within could be heard as they both took the hits.
Inside the smoke Absol was feeling the hurt, while Mawile shrugged it off without too much trouble. Absol started charging his next attack, while Mawile charged out of the smoke to Bite Staryu. To no awail. The Deciever Pokémon had no idea where Staryu was and when it noticed its error, it was too late. Its horns were already chewing on concrete.
Tatya seemed pleased with the progress so far. But there was still the matter of this being a 2 v 4 battle. She needed a KO. Fast.
"You're doing fine guys! Get that smoke out of your eyes, look out for what they have next and attack!"
Forte on the other had was watching Daria's moves with much interest.
Hmmm. Adequate team tactics, but the order of moves leaves a lot of room for errors. If she had considered her opponent's strategy better, she might've had the upper hand by now...
