[center]"Here we go!" Flora called out with a smile on his face, as he threw out the only pokeball he had on him. A red stream of light emerged from it as it opened, before a large Venusaur emerged. The grass type remained stationary, eyeing the opponent with mild interest. It was clear that this Venusaur was an experienced battler, from some of the scars along her large form. Flora carefully recognized that David was an opponent worth acknowledging. He shouldn't underestimate anyone from the Elite Four. They were a dangerous bunch. "Sludge Bomb!" Flora was quick to make a move. Buster, his loyal Venusaur, summoned a massive wave of vile, purple, sludge, flinging it quickly towards the opposing Politoed. However, the water-type was quick on his feet and able to dodge the terrible attack. In a brazen counter-attack, Politoed was ordered to use Ice Beam--which was an order he quickly carried out. The damage would be super-effective, Flora realized that. But Buster most likely wouldn't be fast enough to completely dodge. Nonetheless, he called out the command. Buster shuffled quickly, but still caught a fair amount of the wave of ice, causing her to grimace. "Giga Drain!" Now angered, Buster summoned her energy in several green waves, catching the Politoed off guard with her speed, which was caused by anger. The water-type croaked as the energy was sucked from him in a super-effective attack. In retaliation, he moved to use Hypnosis, but was once more surprised when the attack missed, just shy of hitting the large Venusaur, who glowered at him. "Sludge Wave again!" It was a series of unfortunate events, Flora realized. The poor Politoed had bad luck for the battle--but was still an immensely quick and powerful pokemon. Luck had swayed in Flora's favor. But as the sickly purple wave only barely grazed Politoed, Flora realized that the water-type was getting tired out. A quickly-aimed and improvised Psychic attack hit Buster head-on, but it still wasn't enough to end her, especially after the Giga Drain she pulled off earlier. One more full-front attack and Politoed would be done for. "Giga Drain!" Flora called out right after the Psychic landed. Buster reacted immediately, pulling as much health from the Politoed as she could. The water-type croaked, tumbling over on his side, clearly KOed. Flora was silent for a moment, before recalling Buster. "That was a good battle." He stated to David. [/center]
