The subway is on its way to its destination, and the battle is raging. Shockstrike is suspicious of the fact that Float isn't moving first, but just decides to follow his trainers orders anyway and fire off a Bolt of Thunder at Float. Float then Mirror Coats the hit right back at Shockstrike! Float focuses and Detects Shockstrikes's next move, and as Shockstrike charges at Float with a Volt Switch and Float moves out of the way, and Shockstrike darts back to the othr side of the subway car. Shockstrike again notices that Float does not move first, and knows what coming. But Pokemon are loyal creatures, so Shockstrike fires a Thunderbolt at Float. Float proceeds to fire back the hit with more power with Mirror Coat.

Action 1:
Shockstrike: Thunderbolt: 10 + 2 + 3 + (5-3)*1.5 = 18 Damage, 10 Energy
Float: Mirror Coat: 18*1.5 = 27 Damage, 6 + 27/3 = 15 Energy

Action 2:
Float: Detect: 7 + 13/3 = 11.333, rounds to 11 Energy
Shockstrike: Volt Switch: 7 + 3 + (5-3)*1.5 = 13 Damage (blocked), 4 Energy

Action 3:
Shockstrike: Thunderbolt: 10 + 2 + 3 + (5-3)*1.5 = 18 Damage, 6 Energy
Float: Mirror Coat: 18*1.5 = 27 Damage, 6 + 27/3 = 15 Energy
