"I'm sure I could," Andi responded, crossing her arms once again. Maybe not in her current condition, considering she was restless from being trapped on the ship for days and absolutely freezing from the low temperatures, but that didn't apply to permanent situations. "Maybe when we get to Sinnoh, I'll give it a go," she turned to face the battle about to happen at the far side of the deck.

_Another one?_

Jesus, these people needed lives. This time it was an Absol fighting against an Electabuzz. She hadn't even noticed the battle between the Skarmory and Ditto as well until just now. "These people need lives," she repeated once more, her Lucario nodding his head in agreement.

The girl certainly knew her current events, Ross was impressed. Not that he would announce that, considering it would likely come out condescending: he wasn't as good with words as he was with science. So instead, he remained silent during her comments and waited for her commands. Okay, Focus Punch. . that would take a chunk of Rivet's health, considering that she was a Dark type.

He had to interrupt that somehow. .

Raising the bracelet on his left hand, it suddenly reacted with the Absol, causing the Pokemon to become cloaked in crystallized light, a purple shade mixed with a pink hue. By the time the illusion had shattered, the Pokemon had taken a new form and let out a cry to flaunt this.

"Rivet, use Quick Attack!"

And the Pokemon took off in a blur, slamming its body against the Substitute, before leaping back in the air, "Good, now Razor Wind!" He commanded, as sharp edges cut through the otherwise calm setting heading for the deck and Pokemon below. Generally, Ross would start out with that attack, but he was worried about that Focus Punch.

He had tension in his gut. He sucked at battling, but he wanted to win. _Oh, how he wanted to win._
