Seeing a Zangoose leap from the bushes Kevin was quite surprised as they normally did not appear on route 35. Though a very lucky encounter indeed it was a Pokemon he did not have the space for on his team at the moment and as getting to Ecruteak as quickly as he could was his main goal he had already made up his mind not to capture it. Such a strong normal type would prove very good for gaining experience however and though Oracle had already bested a Miltank Kevin could not pass up the chance to get her even more practice as he signaled to her to step forward.
" My, what big claws you have, if I were something less well protected I would be quite terrified right now. Any Pokemon that does not resist normal types must really regret making you mad. As sharp as your claws are however they likely are not very useful from a distance so I will use that to my advantage." Oracle then looked over at Kevin who quickly agreed with the ranged strategy but suggested showing a bit of mercy to the Zangoose who had likely never encountered a Lucario before and wasn't aware of the tough fight it was walking into.
" You are correct about those claws, if you were not part steel type they would do quite a number on you Oracle. You are also correct at Zangoose being a master of close range combat though long range they do indeed struggle unlike Lucario. I could be heartless here and have you use Aura Sphere against it but I believe your Flash Cannon should be enough of a warning to get it to back off without suffering too badly." Kevin then cracked his knuckles as he got ready for a show between two strong Pokemon.
Oracle wasted no time in preparing her attack trying to keep as much distance from the Zangoose as she could until she could launch her attack. At the same level they would be in a dead heat for speed but besides any desperate tricks the Zangoose might try she knew she would outpace a lower level one and all she needed was to score a single good hit to bring this battle to a close. " I hope you are ready for a show of force, like the rest of my species I do not back down when challenged to a fight." She then launched her attack and waited to see what would happen.
OOC: Oracle uses Flash Cannon. As Barbs is holding a Cleanse Tag Zangoose should be level 20. Also Zangoose do not usually spawn on route 35 instead Yanma should be I am not planning on capturing Zangoose anyway as I plan on doing Night of the Living Tree as soon as this battle ends.
