Apple grinned as Miu issued the command for her Poliwag to attack Aron. She really didn't mind losing, but she wasn't about to go down without a fight. The attack hit dead on the mark, and most Pokemon in Aron's position would go down immediately. But not Aron. He was a sturdy lil' fella. Now was the time to retaliate. Directing her finger to the Poliwag who had done a number on the Steel/Rock, Professor Apple ordered "Hit it with a Headbutt!" Then came the other foe; Bailey and her Duskull. Honedge was capable of taking them on, but not just yet. If Apple went right in for the offensive, it would be troublesome. "Honedge, use Swords Dance!" The spectral sword begun spinning around, as though dancing.
Bailey looked nervous. She didn't blame herself. This was her first ever Pokemon battle, with her first ever Pokemon that was hers instead of her entire family's. What kind of moves did Duskull even know? She didn't know the first thing about battles! All she had going for her was a comprehensive knowledge of which Pokemon were Ghost-type or Dark-type. All she could really do was trust her Duskull to do the right thing. It took her a moment to get the words out, but she managed to let loose with "Duskull, hit the Honedge with something!" She wasn't really sure what happened next. She saw Duskull do something, but she couldn't see just what. She clearly saw that it damaged the opposing Honedge, though. At least her attack worked.
