"Empoleon, you're done."

An accomplished Dusclops gently floated back down to earth, as Fuzh's Empoleon stood exhausted. Fuzh pointed his poke ball at the armored Pokemon and squeezed tightly. A beam of red light emanated from the circle separating the top and bottom half of the poke ball, aimed directly at Empoleon. When the light made contact with the Pokemon, she began to de-materialize. Empoleon was absorbed back into her ball, and Fuzh gripped it tight. He stared down at the ball, his long wavy hair covering his eyes from his opponent. After what seemed like hours, he re-attached the ball to his belt, and quickly snatched the next one in line. It was his last. He snapped his head up, swaying his hair to the back of his head, and held the new poke ball out in front of him. A fierce trainer and an eager Dusclops watched.

"You're needed, Magnezone."

A familiar red light shot out from the center of the ball, but this time it was to summon a Pokemon, not recall one. When the light began to take shape, what seemed to be a dish began to form. The metal dome floated just off the surface of the floor, and two magnet shaped objects materialized on either side of it. The red light faded, and Magnezone appeared on the battlefield. It floated just in front of its trainer, its eye showing its eager emotion.

"Ha! You fool! A steel and electric-type like Magnezone won't stand a chance against one Earthquake from Dusclops!" The opposing trainer beamed with a new confidence. "Dusclops, Earthquake! End it!" Dusclops's eyes began to glow, and its body began to shake. It slowly floated down towards the ground, its body shaking violently. Since Dusclops was a ghost-type Pokemon, it could not physically create an earthquake. Instead, it shook its body using psychic energy, and sent a shockwave out, increasing in magnitude as it got farther away. Dusclops did just that. As it floated mere centimeters above the ground, its arms thrust forward, the palms of its hands facing Magnezone. The shockwave burst forward at an unparalleled speed, flying towards Magnezone. "Haha! It's over already!"

"Magnezone. Magnet Rise." Magnezone began to glow a bright yellow, and lifted off the ground. About 2 feet in the air, the shockwave produced by Dusclops passed underneath it, causing it no harm.

"What? You're Magnezone knows that?"

"Magnezone. Thunderbolt." Without hesitation after lifting off the ground, the dome shaped Pokemon cast a mighty thunderbolt at the Dusclops. The ghost reared in pain and moved back, but did so very slowly.

"That's it! Dusclops, Shadow Punch!" Dusclops nodded, but did not move. Its body was unable to make an attempt at Magnezone. Static pulsed around the Pokemon's body, and its trainer's eyes grew wide. Dusclops was paralyzed.

Magnezone's eye began to frantically scan back and forth, looking all over Dusclops as if trying to find a weak spot. The trainer caught sight of the eye, and panicked.

"Wait a minute, that's Lock On! You didn't tell it to do that!"

"Indeed, I didn't. Magnezone and I have been together from the beginning. Through vigorous training, I've learned that Magnezone send out magnetic pulses when they use their attacks. These pulses are on a frequency very similar to our own thoughts." Magnezone began to glow a bright yellow, with an electric ball forming at each of the magnets on its sides. "Through practice, my Magnezone has learned to emit his pulses on the same frequency as my own thoughts. He can also receive them on the same frequency."

"Y…you mean…"

"Indeed. My Magnezone can read my mind." Magnezone began to spark, and the two electricity balls shot off static beams in front of it. The beams formed a much larger ball, and Magnezone's eye arched downward to form a more menacing expression.

"Z-Z…Zap…"

"Go ahead. Say it." The electricity ball pulsed, and grew three times its already enormous size. "I don't need to." The giant ball of pure electric energy went flying at Dusclops. Due to the Pokemon's paralysis, it could not move or make the slightest attempt to block it. It hit Dusclops head on, and the ghost was thrown backwards. It hit the ground with a thud, and was knocked unconscious. The opposing trainer could only stare wide-eyed at his Pokemon. What had just happened was not possible. He ran to his Dusclops and hugged it on the ground while Fuzh walked up to his Magnezone. He placed a hand on the shiny exterior of it, and stood with a smug look on his face. "You aren't worthy to call yourself a trainer. The whole lot of you disgust me. Let's fix that. Magnezone, Thunder Wave." The Magnezone's eye arched down again, as it let out a light burst of static. It hit the trainer directly, and after a brief yelp of pain he lay motionless. He was not dead, but he was unable to move.

"You monster…what are you going to do? Leave me alone!" The trainer tried to break free, but the Magnezone's static proved more powerful than expected.

"Oh don't worry. You'll be fine." Fuzh grabbed an extra poke ball from his belt. He held it out towards the Dusclops and squeezed. The same red light emerged and hurtled through the air towards the fallen Pokemon, and in the same way de-materialized it and sucked it in. With the Dusclops captive, Fuzh turned and began to walk away. "Pokemon should not have to work for such low-class trainers like you. Only the truly remarkable are worthy of their partnership." He glanced to the left at Magnezone. "Come, we have a report to make to Lord N. I'm sure this will get me our Lord's favoritism." He walked with Magnezone at his side, as the trainer lay still, unable to move and now, unable to speak. He could only watch as his best friend was carried away from him.
