Shedinja X-scissor Level 28 Varoom, then Repeat Ball
self deducted 1 repeat ball from Penelope
please add Varoom to Ethan box 3 if successful

Ethan watched as the Nidorino jumped and tried to scratch the shell out of the Shedinja, but to no avail. She groaned at the ghost Pokemon, "Ugh, why can't I scratch you? I can clearly see you!" The ghost type Pokemon let out a small snicker, but it's eerily quiet that no one was sure it made a snicker sound either.

"Heyy... Wait a minute! Does it remind you of something?" One of the hares cried out. The Nidorino stopped, but was made a quick work by the Shedinja who knocked it out completely.

"Unngghh. Now that you mentioned. Is it... like the Gastly by the Burned Tower?"

"It's exactly like the Gastly by the Burned Tower!"

"Wow, you're smart! You wanna go on a date?"

"Sure, my love! Can I call you Nidorinny? You're so Nidorable?"

As the one pair of Nidorina and Nidorino paired up, there was a sudden return of the muffling engine sound. Ethan turned and saw a Varoom coming through again. "Cover, use X-Scissor, and then standby!" He grabbed a Repeat Ball to prepare for the other Pokemon's arrival.

Shedinja X-scissor x3 Level 28 Nidorina again
EDIT: Using these mod points for shedinja

Cover noticed the Varoom and hovered in front of it. With one quick X-Scissor, the bug type was able to deal a blow to stop the cruise control Varoom in its track. The mechanical Pokemon stopped to assess what happened, only to be captured successfully by Ethan's capture device. The ball fell to the ground and wobbled barely before resounding a successful Ding.

With the Varoom gone, now the Nidorino and Nidorina could resume their discourse. One of the Nidorina spoke up, "Are you sure? This thing don't even look like the ones in Burned Tower!"

"Yes, I am sure. They're similar type, but this one don't smell that bad!"

"They don't have to smell bad to do that!"

"Then why is this one different?"

"I don't know! I haven't seen this one before! But I just know this one is the same group as them stinky balls!" A Nidorino gave up explaining to the other one.

"Maybe if I get close enough I can smell it?" The reluctant Nidorina lunged forward to approach the Shedinja.

"That's not--" The Nidorino watched as he gave up explaining.

The Nidorina phased through the Shedinja once again, as expected. Ethan watched quietly as he was trying to figure out what the group of Nidorina and Nidorino were squeaking about. Then, the ghost type hovered forward and gave the poison type a taste of buggy claws and swiped at it until the Nidorina passed out as well.

The fainted Nidorina groaned in pain as she laid unconscious on the ground. "Uggh... I can't smell it. Does it even have a smell?"

"Why are you trying to smell your opponent?" A Nidorino asked curiously.

"Didn't I say to see if it was like those Burned Tower smelly balls?"

"Yes, but this still isn't a good idea." The Nidorino snickered and stepped up. "Well, now it's my turn!"

However, Ethan thanked Cover's help and then returned the Shedinja. The ghost bug was soon replaced by a pristine white furred Persian, who meowed casually at the Nidorino. "House, use Swift on the Nidorino!" The Persian crawled on all four and licked her lips and swayed her tail, and then prepared a volley of honing magical stars at the opponent.

Swift x3 if needed again

The red gem on Persian's head glowed bright, and then released a flurry of stars at the opponent Nidorino. The unprepared poison type was struck and chased by the unrelenting stars. "AAAahhh! Why won't these stars leave me alone?" It huffed as it ran around in circles trying to dodge, but to no avail.

"Brother, that's those strange moves that chases you non stop!" A Nidorino shouted back, and the defeated Nidorino groaned at the thought of those moves.

"That's not fair! So my claws could miss, but these stars cannot?" He cried and whined.

"Well, this human's Pokemons were certainly interesting! Can I go next?" The Nidorino seemingly volunteered if nobody else more aggressive would go first.

"Uh, sure!" The crowd unanimously supported the Nidorino.

Then, the Nidorino hopped forward and faced the Persian. "Alright, I am next! Hello!"

"Hmm~~" The feline hummed before using another Swift on the poisonous hare.

[Caramell 🍬]

Ouch, those stars really hurt! Here, take this!...wait, stay still!
Ok...ok...you win. I yield!

"Y--ouch! That hurts! The star hurts!" The Nidorino cried out in pain after being smacked by the flurry of stars.

"Yeah, that's how attacks work." House replied dryly.

"Ooh, oh! My turn, my turn! I want to fight something other than a Parasect!" Another Nidorino hollered.

"Uh, are you sure? It's kind of fast and none of us were able to land a hit!" A Nidorina skeptically replied.

"But... I want to!" The Nidorino begged.

"What do you get out of that?" The female hare continued.

"I don't know? Boredom? Excitement? Maybe I'll get a little exercise from trying to dodge those stars!"

"I wouldn't call it exercise if you don't even get to run for ten minutes."

"Wait, you guys aren't with a human, but know what a minute is?" House interrupted, puzzled by the poison types' conversation.

"Please don't ask. Alright, I'm ready, let's go!"

With another flurry of stars, the Nidorino was defeated. "Ughh... You win! Did I run enough?"

"No, that wasn't even a full minute!" A Nido Pokemon replied, sounding sarcastic.

"Miss...." A Nidorina approached the Persian, with a sweeter sounding voice. "Do you have other moves you can show us? Maybe something unique?"

The Persian was perked from such a peculiar request, "HUH? Are you sure you want to ask that?" She purred and thought carefully what move she could demonstrate to this one curious Nidorina.

"Okay, I am ready, and I hope you're ready for this." House spoke once again. Then, she opened her mouth and conjured a Water Pulse in the Nidorina's direction. The background Nido Pokemon scattered to flee from the impact of the attacks.

"WOAH! You can do that!" The Nidorina exclaimed in surprise. The Persian simply nodded and purred.

"That was a lot of water! Usually we only see water type Pokemon spitting out water. But... you're not water type!" She continued.

"I am not. I am very normal." The feline hummed a terse reply.

"Miss, do you have other cool things to show us? I'll take you on the next one." A brave Nidorino stepped out now, preparing to handle the next moves coming from the Persian.

The normal type Pokemon licked her mouth to clean it, and then thought to herself to think if there was anything else to show this group of Nidorino and Nidorina. "I have one more move to show you, I hope you're ready!"

[Caramell 🍬]

Thank you for the lessons. I'll try my best to remember them. Ta-ta for now!

The Persian grumbled under her breath, and let out an annoying and low pitch that somehow pierced the ears of the Nidorino. The poison type tried to resist and fight back, but it was to no avail. The purple hare fell on the ground from the sound based attack, after giving one last compliment. "That's... pretty... cool!"

Ethan was amused from the Pokemon's interactions between themselves. They weren't like super aggressive toward each other, and seemed to behave rather orderly. He wasn't sure if they were play fighting. Soon after House had yelled away the Nidorino, the cursed sandstorm seemed to have stopped. A different mass of cloud rolled in and it looked like it was raining soon.

"House, I am sorry we have to go now, but the sandstorm had cleared up." Ethan returned his Pokemon and departed from the clan of Nidorino and Nidorina.

"Good bye! I hope you're able to find your own trainer!" The feline purred before being returned.
