Deck Knight and Venser glare at each other from across the enormous solarium, each with the aid of a telescope. They can both see that their opponent is more intimidated by the room itself that the enemy trainer, but both of them intend to change that.
Deck Knight sends out his Pokemon first, the large snake like Rock Pokemon, Will Powers the Onix! But it doesn't stay that way for long; the large Pokemon gets longer and harder (...) as it evolves into a Steelix. Indeed Deck Knight is pulling out the big guns, perhaps for show, perhaps to feel more comfortable in this giant room or perhaps even to compensate for something else.
Whatever his motive, Venser does not share his ideals, sending out a tiny Shroomish named Turtle.
The two Pokemon begin running towards each other to initiate combat. However, due to the combination of a huge arena and very low speeds this takes quite a while, and the two trainers find themselves yawning by the time Turtle gets close enough to unleash a cloud of Spores. Or at least, that was the plan. But as Turtle draws near, he notices that Steelix hasn't actually moved at all, and has just been leering at him from a distance and calling him names (Shroomish? More like... POOmish!).
Taunted and enraged, he gives up on the spore and goes in for a direct attack, but failing to close the distance he achieves nothing.
Shroomish continues the "Assault" running towards Steelix in rage but still achieving very little. Steelix meanwhile ignores all distance issues by shaking the whole building with a powerful
Earthquake. The ground is sturdy but it is still broken up a little by the attack, resulting in a thin layer of rubble across most of the solarium.
Shaken but not stirred, Turtle finally closes the gap and begins focusing all his energy into whatever he uses as a fist. In an attempt to break his concentration, Steelix uses the recently formed rubble to conjure a collumnous
Sandstorm which he fires as a pillar of debris at Shroomish. However, enraged as he is the swirling sands are insufficient to distract him, and Turtle unleashes a might
Focus Punch at Steelix, who lands heavily on the ground.
Both trainers fall asleep due to the effects of each others
yawns.
But not really.
