The large snake/eel/fish/whatever a Gyrados is moved its way towards Driller. Unlike its companion, it knows what to expect and watches where the bug is pointing to.
Purple smirks. "Go, Gyarados. That makes 5 already."
The creature rushes forward, but hesitates briefly as the bee points again.

The hesitation saves the creature, slithering between the near instantaneous attacks. When the onslaught finishes, Gyarados pants heavily and eyes its opponent.
"He must have done something to that Pokemon." Purple grits his teeth and glares at his Pokemon. "You still are my Pokemon. You will beat it."
The creature shifted a bit, and it turned to face its opponent once again.
Gyarados used Hyper Beam!
The beam of energy blew past as Driller pulled itself out of the way. It swept to the side as it let loose a storm of Thunder Waves and Thunderbolts. Its opponent avoided the attacks, every so often throwing back a Hydro Pump or Dragon Rage, although each Dragon Rage was different. Once it was just a ball of energy shot out, but another time it became a twister, or a beam of energy.
Not sure why there is no continuity there.
The lightning stops, and Driller stabs his spears into the floor.
Driller used Earthquake!
Waves of energy tear through the stage, uprooting the wood beams as it rushes towards the foe. Gyarados rushes to meet it head on, but at the last moment takes to the air.
It didn't affect foe Gyarados!
It wasn't until Gyarados had built up massive energy in its mouth that it noticed the a bunch of green orbs of energy surrounding Driller.
Gyarados used Hyper Beam!
Driller dodged as the beam pierced the wood, and various orbs of different colors appear as well. They were then all released in one move.
Driller used Solarbeam! Driller used Blizzard! Driller used Dragon Rage! Driller used Ice Beam! Driller used Solarbeam! Driller used Blizzard! Driller used Hyper Beam! Driller used Mega Drain! Driller used Fire Blast! Driller used Dragon Rage! Driller used Ice Beam! Driller used Dragon Rage! Driller used Hyper Beam! Driller used Blizzard! Driller used Solarbeam! Driller used Ice Beam!
The Gyarados falls on its fallen comrade, eyes gone blank.
"NO! You can't win! Alakazam!"
A yellow, humanoid creature steps forward. The spoons in its hands start to float as its eyes glow lightly.
Alakazam used Psybeam!
From its face, a beam of purple energy bursts towards Driller, hitting him straight in the face.
Driller became confused!
Question marks, stars, and spinning chicks fly around Driller's head. His fluttering becomes sporadic, and he spins around in the air, letting loose Psywaves is every direction. The purple waves of energy go up and down for some reason, filling the stage with danger. Alakazam dodges the best it can, but still gets hit with a few. It places a glowing palm on itself and releases a Recover.
Driller finally shaking off the confusion, it creates a yellow egg shape, which spirals into itself to heal.
Driller used SoftBoiled!
The two face each other again, ready to clash.
Driller used Tri Attack! Driller used Egg Bomb!
A big triangle and a black egg shape fly at the creature, but it waves its hand.
Alakazam used Reflect!
A barrier pops up and, disappointingly, does NOT reflect them back to the user. The projectiles just bounce off, dissipating.
Driller used Water Gun!
… Oh, right. Missingno isn't here right now to comment on things. Well, despite its physical form, the water of Gen 1 can't be stopped by Reflect. Up until Gen 4, they were special moves.
Alakazam used Psychic!
The Alakazam raises a hand, gathering the water midair with a blue aura. With a flick of its hand, the attack rockets back at Driller.
Driller used Psychic!
Driller stops it with a similar move, and the two fight for control. The water moves slightly back and forth as each Pokemon releases Psychic one after another.
Purple smirks. "Sorry, but my Alakazam is so smart, it remembers a fifth move!"
The Alakazam curls three long fingers around one of its floating spoons and points it toward its adversary.
Alakazam used Kinesis!
The spoon bends forward and suddenly Driller gets smacked.
Driller's Accuracy fell!
… yeah, Gen 1 also had this move show some hits for some reason. But it doesn't deal damage.
However, Driller tilts to the side, and when it tries to shoot off another Psychic, the attack misses, hitting a stage light. As the water barrels toward Driller, a change occurs.
Driller used Substitute!
Driller disappears, leaving a Rhydon like pokemon Doll in exchange for 1/4th of its HP. The doll shatters upon impact, but Driller doesn't reappear.
Driller used Teleport!
Alakazam surveys its surroundings to find the target, but feels its flight instincts kick in.
Driller used Substitute! Driller used Substitute!
Two dolls appear behind it, and the yellow creature puts up as many Reflects as it can.
Driller used Self-Destruct! Driller used Explosion!
Not even the Reflects can withstand the explosions as the force sends Alakazam flying into the ceiling before joining the pile of fainted Pokemon. Among the dust, Driller readies for the next fight by spamming Softboiled until its heath is back.
Purple's teeth grind. "Arcanine, go! Destroy!"
The great beast runs in circles around Driller.
Driller used Bubblebeam!
Driller used Toxic!
Despite efforts to hit the enemy, Arcanine effortlessly dodges the attacks as it continues to run with the grace of an antelope and the speed of a cheetah.
Arcanine used Ember!
Arcanine used Ember!
Arcanine used Ember!
While running, the beast begins to fire off a flurry of shots. Driller stops attacking to match the opponent's pace.
Driller used Double Team!
With extra evasion, the fight became a stalemate. Arcanine breaks it first as it braces itself.
Arcanine used Roar!
… And nothing happens. In Gen 1, Roar is worthless in a trainer battle.
Arcanine used Take Down!
It charged at Driller, ready to damage itself to hurt the enemy. They collided, but Driller released a torrent of Fighting moves.
Driller used Counter!
It began with a simple hit that used the enemy's last attack against it-
Driller used Submission!
-then continued as Driller spun head over heel into the foe, hurting itself a little along the way-
Driller used Seismic Toss!
-and ended as it grabbed Arcanine and flung it into the floorboards.
Arcanine pulled itself out and shakely readied another charge. As it begun, Driller unleashed its own attack.
Driller used Metronome!
Driller used Hypnosis!
With the wag of a spear, Driller causes the beast to sleep. Driller slowly floats over to it to deliver the finishing move.
Driller used Dream Eater!
Arcanine writhes in its sleep as Driller regains its health.
Driller used Whirlwind!
While useless in battle for now, the gust of air picks the pokemon up and flings it onto the pile.
Purple practically uses Leer himself as he seethes. "You want a Pokemon battle without the limits of a game? Fine! Rhydon!"
The rhino/dinosaur/Pokemon doll looking pokemon moved forwards, each step shaking the ground. The tough hide scraped against each other, attacking the eardrums.
It pointed face down as its horn began to spin. It burrowed through the ground, out of reach.
Driller used Rock Slide!
Rocks somehow appeared, falling from the ceiling and bouncing harmlessly on the floor.
"Ha! Try fighting now! He might not know Dig, but this still works!"
Driller used Swift!
Large stars pierce through the floor, hitting their target without fail.
It's not very effective...
… Yeah. Gen 1.
From below, the creature bursts up, its spinning horn poised to strike for the kill.
Rhydon used Horn Drill!
Driller used Reflect!
The barrier that appears lasts for only a second, but Driller uses that window to move just out of way. Rhydon continues past Driller, and Driller releases a myriad of attacks.
Driller used Mega Punch!
Driller used Mega Kick!
Driller made a whirlwind!
Driller used Pay Day!
Driller used Body Slam!
Driller used Double-Edge!
Driller used Razor Wind!
Driller used Pay Day!
Driller used Sky Attack!
Driller used Take Down!
Driller used Pay Day!
Driller used Skull Bash!
Driller used Pay Day!
Driller used Rage!
Driller used Pay Day!
Despite all the attacks and coins thrown at it, they were all not very effective.
The Rhydon lands, barely phased, and charges again.
Rhydon used Fury Attack!
The horn stops spinning, but the consistent jabs makes dodging hard. After a few successful hits, Driller turns the tables.
Driller used Bide!
It stops moving, puts up a guard with its spears, and tanks all the hits. The energy around Driller swells, and the Rhydon backs away. Quickly deciding to run, it drills underground again.
… Unfortunately, Gen 1 isn't so kind to it.
Driller unleashed energy!
Driller strikes a pose as a beam pierces the ground, hitting the Pokemon with deadly accuracy. Since the power came from Rhydon itself, the damage was indomitable.
Taking the moment of impact to its fullest, Driller readied itself.
Driller used Swords Dance!
Readied, the bee began its final skirmish.
Driller used Dig!
It pulled out its shovel, burrowing after Rhydon. They both dig into each other's hole, and before Rhydon can escape-
Driller used Fissure!
-the ground around them opens up. Rhydon looks down, and prepares a plan to dig once it reaches the bottom. It never gets a chance.
Driller used Mimic!
A list pops up, and Driller makes an easy selection.
Driller used Horn Drill! Driller used Horn Drill!
Two simultaneous attacks, one from each spear hand, plunges toward Rhydon, leaving no escape.
One-hit KO!
