[Karl Christopher]

"Finish him Loco. Absorb one more time.

Loco used the draining move once again.

---

Loco used Absorb

[Louis Beckett]

Didi had gone down after that last Absorb, with Luu sighing in frustration, but there was nothing else he could do at this point. He picked up Didi and let him rest with Pippin - the little otter had given him a bit of the Sitrus berry he had left, to which the other Pokemon accepted with gratitude. The trainer had given him a few consoling pats, "You did your best, Didi."

Luu was down to one Pokemon left, and he was going to need a miracle to win the battle, "Alright, let's go, Penny!" he threw the Poke Ball out in the air to let the Vulpix out, making a soft cry as she landed gracefully on the sand, "Use Flame Burst!"

---

The rain stopped.

Buizel fainted!
Luu sent out Vulpix!

Vulpix used Flame Burst!

[Karl Christopher]

Loco withstood against the Flame Burst. Unlike other plants Loco was also part water which reduced the effectiveness of fire attacks

Karl hummed "I want that rain back. Loco use Rain Dance."

Loco started a little jig and the storm rolling back in making it rain

As the rain fell onto Lotad his plant glowed with energy and Loco sighed as he felt the energy restore him a little bit

---

Loco used Rain Dance

It started raining heavily

Ability Activate: Rain Dish

Loco recovered a little HP.

Karl chuckled "what's your next move Louis, surely you can't expect a fire type move to win now."

[Louis Beckett]

He was literally going to be backed up against the wall here, huh? Damn it, he was seriously counting on that Lotad not to have Rain Dance, but at least it gave him a free turn to attack? That was probably the only silver lining to this turn of events. There was a very big chance that they were toast.

Luu had a hard time keeping his cool, but if Penny saw him falling apart then that wasn't going to do any good, even if he knew that logically, this was probably going to be a loss. Ugh! His first battle, a loss? He hated the very idea, but that was what it looked like right now.

"Penny, use Extrasensory!"

The rain continues to fall. (1/5)

Vulpix used Extrasensory!
Flinch Check: 1-10 will flinch the opponent

1-100

[Karl Christopher]

Loco took the Extrasensory attack with a slight shake off. The Rain Dish Ability slowly regenerating his health. Karl knew that trying to sap energy via Absorb was no good but he was sure that a Water Attack would deal a lot of damage especially in the rain.

"Loco, Bubble Beam!"

Loco fired a barrage of Bubbles at the Vulpix

Loco used Bubblebeam

10% chance of lowering speed (1-10 will lower speed by one stage)

[Louis Beckett]

Mr. Christopher was right to use Bubblebeam instead of Absorb, and the effects of the combined rain and typing of Lotad were clear on Penny. She staggered as she got hit by the slew of bubbles, but still managed to stay standing, if not trembling.

Her trainer, on the other hand, just had about enough of this battle. While there was the very slight chance that Extrasensory could flinch the Lotad and let them win, Luu decided he wasn't going to risk it anymore. It was needless suffering for Penny to go through that, and so Penny was surprised when she was suddenly picked up by Luu. She had been shivering a little from the rainfall.

"I think that'll be enough for today, Mr. Christopher." he told him slowly as Pippin and Didi joined their trainer, "Thank you for the battle. I learned a lot, but now we're both just getting soaked in this rain." he let out a small laugh. At this point, he had already accepted that he lost. He was just glad that he didn't had to let Penny faint just to solidify the idea, "I'll be going back to the dorm now. We should battle again though, and this time I'll remember to bring an umbrella."

And with that, Luu had done a small bow before leaving the beach.

The rain continues to fall.

Battle forfeited.
(though if this means that I can't claim EXP I'll change my post)

[Karl Christopher]

(Nah, it shouldn't, if anything I would give you credit for the performance anyhow)

Karl hummed as he watched the trainer withdraw and call for the battle to end. It was somewhat pointless to continue after all.

"A wise decision and idea." Karl stated "especially if I'm going to keep working on my Rain Dance Team..."

Loco was enjoying the rain.

"oh remember to be on the lookout for Tactics 101, that's my class and I could use students who are willing to learn." Karl called
