Even with the rain coming down hard, and Suicune's Pressure still going strong, Shinya just kept on grinning away, like nothing could quell his excitement. This was especially true when he saw how much damage Penelope's Bellsprout, Narctar, had dealt to the Aurora Pokemon with his Bullet Seed attack. And, of course, when he saw Marchbaby heal up his Magnezone, Shocker, and get it back in the battle. "Well, alright! Now that's more like it!" Still, underneath all that excitement, there was definitely some jealousy as well. Even though he and his Pokemon had been fighting hard this whole time, their efforts hadn't accomplished nearly as much as some of the other trainers present on this battlefield. Of course, Shinya was still a fairly new trainer, so he knew he'd be on their level someday. But why stop there? If all went as planned, the Team Skull grunt would surpass all of these other trainers one day. And when that day came, he'd battle and beat a legendary Pokemon on his own, with nothing but his own Pokemon. But for the time being, he still wanted to deal as much damage to Suicune as he could, and quickly called Nincada back to his Sport Ball again. "That'll do for now, Nincada! Come back!" The Bug type trainer put Nincada's Sport Ball back into his bag, then grabbed another red and white orb in its place. Although, this orb was the same orb as before. "You're up again, Heracross! Let's finish this!" After pressing the button on the Poke Ball, Shinya tossed it up into the air, causing it to burst open with a blinding light. "Hera! Heracro!" The Singlehorn Pokemon re-entered the battle, looking rested and ready for more. Even if their efforts didn't amount to much in this battle, both Shinya and Heracross were in perfect sync with each other through it all. They both shared a powerful desire to make a name for themselves no matter the odds. And given that their opponent was a legendary Pokemon, these were some pretty steep odds. Nevertheless, the Bug type duo stood their ground and simply refused to even consider the idea of running away. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/heracross.png)

Nate wasn't really sure what was happening to him as he was getting more and more drowsy the longer the battle was going on and he was missing out on ordering his Pokemon to do any attacks. He wiped his eyes and removed his sleeveless haori and held it over his head so that he could see the battle better. Nate was surprised that Laxus was doing so well since this was his first battle as part of his team and he had no idea what sort of battler the small electric mouse was or what sort of Pokemon he was since all of his Pokemon had been different so far. Nate looked over at Shinya as he recalled the Nincada, he was surprised that the Suicune hadn't attacked it since it would have been an easy battle since the bug type Pokemon was weak to water but it had survived long enough to be called back to be swapped out for a different Pokemon. He looked back to his Pichu as he thought about what the best cause of action would be for him to consider. "Laxus use Thunder Shock." Nate said. Laxus rubbed his cheeks rigorously charging up static in his small hands. He then brought his hands together over his forhead and fired a tiny thunderbolt at the mysterious Pokemon. 'It is shocking that you are not using me to my fullest.' Laxus rolled his eyes not really amused over his new trainer's attitude during this serious battle.

Shocker finally finished recalibrating as another round was about to get underway. After looking around at the other trainers it was very easy to see that Shocker would likely be the one to cause the most damage this round as he did not think any of the other Pokemon currently facing Suicune could match the Magnezone's power. He was still worried as despite all the damage inflicted it was still raining and Suicune could easily endure a few more hits from even Shocker's most powerful attacks. The good news was that Shocker could endure any single hit and get off at least two attacks on Suicune again and Marchbaby knew he had to go all out with the two rounds he knew he had. A large smile ran across his face as Shocker started to build up electricity before he could even say a word. " A shame you do not know Thunder rught now Shocker as this rain would make Suicune an easy target. Thunderbolt is still a great option and since you are part electric type it only seems fitting that we shock Suicune with an encore of your last performance. Use Thunderbolt on Suicune and try to cause as much damage as you possibly can." After giving the order to strike he looked around again at the hodgepodge of a team the other trainers had formed. Though weaknening Suicune's special defense would be a moot point now he still hoped someone would be able to reduce it's stats in some way. " I do not know how long Shocker can last but if anyone can weaken Suicune offensively in any way it would be a big help. So long as Shocker stays in the fight I can dish out a ton of damage." He then waited to see what the others would do. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/magnezone.png) | Shocker | Lv 33 Used Thunderbolt! <Silk Scarf>

Penelope wasn't expecting the Suicune to decide to leaped up from where it stood to bite down on Narctar. Although the grass type was able to land a volley of bullet seeds at the opponent, the water type opponent wasn't enjoying being pelted with a bb gun. Suicune bit down hard on the Bellsprout, and Narctar cried in pain until it couldn't anymore. When the water Pokemon returned to where it stood, Penelope saw that Narctar had no stamina left to continue the battle. "Aww.... You did your best, Narctar. Have a good rest." She returned, and as if on cue, the rain-loving Azumarill popped out of her Pokemon. She cried happily and danced in the rain. She hummed some tune and moved her body and wiggled her big floating tail, as if she was Charming the opponent with her cute look. Did it work? ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen6/azumarill.png) | Zuroy | Lv 25 Used Charm!

Tama rolled around on the ground as though she had been the one to take the full force of the attack. The way the small blue mouse flipped and flopped was almost comical. Her hands and feet would flop about on the ground while she wailed like a banshee. "I've been hit!" Tama cried at the top of her lungs. "I'm not long for this world! Tell my trainer I love him and remember to spread love, not hate!" The small scar that ran across the small mouse's cheek barely bled a drop, and yet she flopped around as though her tail had been personally ripped off and her guts disemboweled from her body. Once the initial pain died down and the shock left little Tama, she would eventually sit back up and look around. Tama blinked, watching everyone rush into the fray as they fought to take down the behemoth dog Pokemon. She growled, slapping her paw against her forehead. Did they not hear her at all? Well...let's see...maybe a Pokemon would feel for something that was hopelessly pathetic and not want to strike it? Tama sat on her rear end and began to suck her thumb while rocking back and forth. "Don't mind me...just existing...I want to prove to you that violence isn't the answer." She said cutely, trying to use all her charm on this Pokemon. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/azurill.png) | Tama| Lv "25" Used Charm!

Shocker had been caught on the fringe of the torrent that knocked Laxus out but luckily the Magnezone was able to endure the glancing blow as Marchbaby thought about how to best handle the situation. Shocker could no longer rely on Sturdy and he could not revive the Magnezone again forcing him into a rough spot. He could recall Shocker but as Suicune was cleaely getting tired he knew he had to press the attack hoping Suicune would not be able to handle another round of attacks. If Shocker went down again he still had a plan but the already dicey situation would get even more dangerous. The pouring rain did not help either as it did not seem close to ending. " Hang in there Shocker, we have to be getting close, just a little bit more and we should be able to chase Suicune off. We have to keep up the offensive if we want a chance to finish this." He then looked around at the other trainers again and was not sure if the group would be strong enough to deal the finishing blow this round but hoped against the odds that theywould be able to dig deep enough to finally win the battle. He could not control what the others did but he could still cause as much damage as he could and hope the others would be able to do the same. " Shocker use Tri Attack, I doubt it alone will chase Suicune off but I know it will at least leave a mark." He then waited for the results realizing the risk he was taking was quite great. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/magnezone.png) | Shocker | Lv 33 Used Tri Attack! <Silk Scarf>

Penelope was trying to observe the battle, and she definitely saw some small yellow thing and some eyeballs using an electric attack. However, the pouring rain made it difficult to watch what or who did the attack. Zuroy, however, did notice a fellow Pokemon from her evolutionary line. She squealed happily to greet, and to cheer the Azuill, hopefully to catch the little one's attention. Seeing her Pokemon's charming and cutesy dance, Penelope's tension in this torrential rain eased a little. She got quite encouraged and decided to go for an offense this time. "Use that Play Rough, Zuroy! Just watch out for other Pokemon's attack okay!" Zuroy hummed happily as she received her order, and joyfully leaped across the water to play with the Suicune, while keeping in mind of other Pokemon's incoming attacks. She hoped the Suicune liked to play. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen6/azumarill.png) | Zuroy | Lv 25 Used Play Rough!

Nate watched carefully as March ordered Shocker do release a powerful Thunder Bolt. "Some day you can do that, Laxus." He commented encouragingly to his Pichu. Laxus glanced at Nate and nodded slightly before he turned back to the Suicune. Nate looked on slightly confused as Penelope ordered her Azumarill to use Charm along with Cara had ordered her Azurill to also use Charm. "That isn't going to do much since water types are typically specially offensive instead of physical offensive." He thought to himself since most of the stronger water type moves were special attack like Hydro Pump, Surf and other moves. Laxus got sent flying backwards and crashed into the ground. He slowly and shaking got up onto his feet, but then fell forward onto his hands and knees before he collapsed onto the ground. Nate pulled out a pokeball. "Laxus return."Laxus disappeared into a red beam and got returned to the pokeball. "Take a nice long rest. You did your best." Nate gave a gentle smile as he put the pokeball away and pulled out another pokeball. "Mothra this is your time to shine."Mothra appeared on the field. "Mothra use Tackle." Nate said. Mothra charged at the Suicune and attempted to slam its tiny head into the much larger wild Pokemon. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/wurmple.png) | Mothra | Lv 25 Used Tackle!

Lei glared at Shinya when he answered her sarcastically but didn't answer him, she was high above things like that! The shuppet came drifting back to her, and she felt uncomfortable at the hungry look it watched her with. She scanned the area and thought she saw a white spot near something very blue, and she narrowed her eyes, was that her Inana? There was no time to wait to figure out, the suicune needed to have as many opponents as possible now they weren't all equipped as strongly as Marchbaby, she let out Kekoa who eagerly took a few steps forward but then his mouth dropped as he looked at the suicune. "Rapid spin Kekoa," Lei ordered and fully expected her squirtle to do as ordered and she turned and began to move, when a hollow giggle made her look back. "Kekoa!" She snapped when she saw her squirtle was still just staring open mouthed at the legendary pokemon. He jumped surprised and looked at her astonished. "I gave you an order! What are you waiting for!" She snapped and he looked between her and the suicune several times. Lei gestured to Mothra, "even that bug is more brave than you!" Not that the small worm would ever reach suicune in any near future but at least the slow moving bug was trying. Kekoa looked down crestfallen and the shuppet floated closer and even made a smal burb as if it was getting full. ![](http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/007.png) | Kekoa | Lv 25 Used Switch In!

Despite the two KO's the trainers were dealt in the last two rounds of the battle, everyone was really going strong. All the while, Suicune was looking exhausted. After all the effort the various trainers and Pokemon had put in, they had finally driven the legendary Pokemon very close to its breaking point. And, of course, Shinya was more than happy to take full advantage of the Aurora Pokemon's weakness. But first, the Team Skull grunt looked up, opened his mouth up wide, and proceeded to drink several gulps worth of Suicune's rainwater. Once he was finally done, Shinya eyed the legendary Pokemon once again, licking his lips clean before speaking up. "I appreciate the refreshment, mutt. I was startin' to get kinda thirsty." Shinya snickered to himself afterward, and in spite of his rather crude choice of words, he really did enjoy the taste of Suicune's rainwater. True, water didn't usually have any sort of flavor at all, but the water that the Aurora Pokemon summoned was extremely clean, delicious, and refreshing. So much so that Shinya decided to fill a water bottle with it as he gave Heracross his next order of the battle. "It's time to finish this legend off, Heracross! Pound in the finishing move! Use Horn Attack now!" Just as he had done several times before, the Singlehorn Pokemon spread his wings, channeled as much power as he could into his horn, then flew straight at Suicune with all of his strength. "Hera...CRO!" ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/heracross.png)

Tama bounced over to the large magnet and stared up at Shocker. He was a pretty impressive Pokemon, though he had to be restored to return back to the battle. Still, watching everyone get polished off one after the other was a scary experience. What should she do? Tama knew in her heart that she wasn't going to hurt the beast - or anyone around, either. She didn't want everyone to keep battling it and hurting it, but she didn't want to see the beast hurt more of her companions on the battlefield. She was stuck in a dilemma. How do you convince everyone that peace is the answer, when they were all so focused on the assault?? "You're really strong physically." Tama began to cheer, bouncing up and down on top of her large, buoyant tail. "I bet you could take on anything and win in a fair fight. But, don't you think violence isn't always the answer? Open your heart, Shocker, and let's show the world that we can change!" She would plop down off her tail and spin around to stare at everyone else. She began slamming her tail down on the ground, trying to give support to Shocker while also encouraging the change she wanted to see in the world. "All we are saying...is give peace a chance!" ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/azurill.png) | Tama| Lv "25" Used Helping Hand!
