"Rivet!" Ross called out, flinching when the Absol had stumbled back and nearly toppled over. Just as predicted, the Focus Punch had taken a large chunk of her health and now, she mingled between remaining in battle and fainting. Though, the white Pokemon barred its teeth in a determined way and stood still, jumping aside as the thunderbolt hit near her.

"Quick Attack, once more!" He commanded as the Absol darted past the Thunderbolt and slammed its body weight against the Electabuzz. "Now, Night Slash!" It was a shame that she knew no Earth type moves, otherwise, this battle would've been over ages ago. Still, he should've just thrown in the towel. There was really no way that Rivet was going to win.

_Or was there?_
