[If Theo’s been scarce the past few months, he’s had a good reason: training. That’s what he’s doing today, deep in the middle of the forest, if anyone happens to be passing through.]
Faint Attack! Arial Ace! Th-Thunderbolt! Use it on- [he gasps, doubling over, but almost immediately stands back upright] -the trees, on the trees, do it!

The hell d'you think you're doin' huh? [His tone is mild despite the harsh words. He actually looks mildly worried; you're wearing yourself out, kid.]
You sure as hell don't look alright. You - an' your Pokemon - could use a break.

[Magical Leaf hits Tentacruel, but his Poison-type helps him shrug it off without much damage. Future Sight is the move Archie's worried about - that will knock Tentacruel out immediately if given the chance.]
Tentacruel, return! Sharpedo! [He calls Tentacruel back in favor of his half-Dark-type shark. Sure, Sharpedo's a glass canon, but Archie doesn't intend to let the kid kill him.]
Crunch! Icicle Drop! [Sharpedo immediately goes for Gardevoir and Cloyster aims the ice at Delcatty - who knew that thing was actually decent?]

[Roselia's attack goes for Sharpedo, while the Psychic-type focuses on trying to dodge that nasty Crunch attack. Archie's playing against types, and Theo knows that without Magneton he's not going to do well against any of these match-ups.]

Icicle Drop! [Cloyster aims the ice at the Roselia, hopefully knocking it out before it can do too much damage to Sharpedo. Archie is not going to let that shark faint again.]

Giga Drain! Gardevoir, Double Team again!

Good, 'bout time you woke up. Waterfall! [Poliwrath aims the jet of water at Gardevoir - but unfortunately he misses too. Archie isn't worried - he's still got the advantage here.]

Giga Drain, Psychic! Both of you, the Cloyster! [He needs to at least try and get it down to two vs. two; his pokémon can't handle the extra target.]

Again! [The command is issued to Poliwrath, who whips another Waterfall attack at Gardevoir. Archie doesn't seem to mind getting wet from the attack, though he's fast enough to get out of the way to avoid any unnecessary damage.]

If Theo's upset about being down to one fighter, he doesn't show it. The odds are going to be far worse than this, later. What better way to learn from his mistakes?]
Psychic. The Cloyster again.

Sharpedo, Rain Dance! Poliwhirl, Waterfall, again! [The Sharpedo halts, whipping around in a circle quickly before summoning a rainstorm. Poliwhirl unleashes his attack next, the Waterfall attack now powered up by the matching weather.]
