"Squirtle, use tail whip!"
Squirtle's tail disoriented Snorlax, lowering its defense.
"Snorlax, Amnesia!"
As Snorlax abided and powered itself up, Ray chose his moves excitedly.
"Squirtle, use Bubble swirl!"
Squirtle leapt into action, circling Snorlax with a barrage of bubbles, moving as fast as a tackle attack.
Snorlax felt the brunt of a thousand bubbles smacking its body.
Red took only a second to figure something out.
Squirtle is much faster than Snorlax. He's playing keep-away so that he won't come near enough to feel double-edge. One attack and it's done...
"Snorlax, send some thunderbolts flying!"
It scared the tiny turtle away with a barrage of lightning bolts. As it retreated back to its trainer, Ray greeted it with a smile. Delia's attention settled fully on the battle, instead of the Fearow flying overhead.
"Now we can have some fun. Water basher, now!"
Squirtle returned to Snorlax in a spinning shell, sending torrents of hydro pumps and skull bashes across its opponent. Even Red winced, but not before responding.
"More thunderbolts!"
Snorlax's arms shot out thunderbolts in all directions, nearly hitting Squirtle. As Squirtle returned, Red called out to his champion.
"WATER GUN!"
Squirtle obliged, sending a shot of water towards the pokemon...
Which gave Red enough information to know where it was.
"Thunderbolt!"
Snorlax shot out another thunderbolt, this time to Squirtle's location. The results were rather...shocking.
Squirtle spun backwards, stopping at Ray's feet with its legs twitching, its eyes spinning clockwise.
"Squirtle is...unable to battle?"
Delia took the official instrument of pokemon's willingness to battle. After poking it with a stick, she came to her authoritive conclusion.
"Yep, it fainted. Point goes to RED!"
The little boy pounded a fist as he returned his snorlax. He walked over to Ray as he called Squirtle into his own pokeball.
"Hey, nice battle! I guess I should've kept moving."
"You too! Delia, I guess it's your turn to battle me."
"Don't get cocky, kid. These are just "play" battles, nowhere near what the others are capable of, like Koga or Giovanni. I'll pretend I'm one of them now."
"Oh, for Gemini's sake! YOU shouldn't be the one too cocky, Delia!"
"Can it, Ray. I'm about to remind you of what it feels like to fight one of them."
She popped open her proudest Pokemon, a three-foot tall Bellsprout.
"Get your Ivysaur ready, Red!"
A three-foot tall dinosaur stood by his side as a smile perched at the corner of his mouth.
"Ray, officiate!"
"Y-yes, Maam."
Ray immediately ran in between the two trainers.
"Let the battle between-"
"AHEM."
"Right-right, um, trainers! Are you ready?"
Ray watched Delia as she nodded. Red's head barely moved.
"Then let the battle begin!"
