As the dust slowly cleared, Gray tilted his hat downwards, a half smirk appearing on his face as Nidoran slowly stood up. In the barrage of quick attacks, the Pokémon's hard armor boded well, allowing him to glance off some of the blows, while parrying a few with his horn. The Nidoran was bruised greatly, however, but it could still fight. Gray brought up a hand, and made a sharp, concise slicing motion. "...Let's finish this. Peck." He murmured, his cold voice just hearable over the silence. Nidoran roared, before rearing up, horn glowing powerfully. It blasted towards Riolu, planning on at least getting a tie. The opponent Riolu Pokémon was fast, that's for sure.
