Just keep talking big while you still can, Silver. Tavi, another Sucker Punch!
[Well, why mess with what works? She got off to a weak start with that Golbat pushing Rui into a corner, sure, but Silver made the mistake of sending out a psychic-type into something he knows is gonna hit with a dark-type move. Maybe she can use this to keep up her momentum.
...Or not. Tavi bounds in to deliver another punch, but he's not lucky enough to avoid being attacked this time around. Lyra's feeling pretty confident that he can handle the hit, but nope. Two words that spell out certain doom: critical hit. Tavi shrieks, clutching his head in his stubby little paws, and collapses to the ground in a twitching, defeated heap.]
Aw, no way! We were doing so good, too!
[Lyra's expression? You could probably call it a pout, but of course that would be silly because totally-grown-up-12-year-olds like her are obviously too mature to pout. Obviously. Yes. The KO'ed Furret is returned to his ball, and out comes a new Pokemon: a Scizor.]
This one's not going down that easy, Silver! Flynn, start off with a Double Team.
[The Scizor complies, three illusory copies of herself appearing around her. Truthfully, Lyra expects this to be a bit of a "free turn", so to speak; with psychics being weak to bugs, and steel-types resisting psychic moves, she's assuming Silver will switch Alakazam out for something that can do more damage to Flynn.]
I dunno, I think it'd be a close match!
