OOC: Nope, Alter doesn't think that Ralts can learn Shadow Punch. And there is a lot of subtelty in Ybur_Angel's name so Alter was sure she would not change. By the by, Alter thinks that they should have sent out a Dusclops instead of a Duskull. And Cid is a very stubborn kind of person and couldn't stand fiddling his thumbs during this fight. Nope, he just has to involve himself...^_^ And he ain't weak, just light is all, you crude person...

Cid shook his head as he noticed the real pok?mon being brought out. He turned to Jenny "Look, you can shout and scream to me about this after the battle, alright? But for now I'm helping wether you like it or not."
"Now ain't that te' sweetes thing I've ever heard." one of the grunts said in a would-be touched voice, pretending to wipe a tear from his eye. "Gengar! Show her a real Shadow Punch!"
The ghoul pok?mon leapt forward, throwing a strong uppercut at Ruru before the psychic pok?mon had time to react.
"Enough!" Cid shouted, "Curly! Use Psychic on that Gengar!", the Kirlia's normally peacefull eyes blazed with fury as he focused his powers on the Ghost pok?mon, holding it in a telekinetic stranglehold for a few minutes before slamming it right into Banette with tremendous force. Since they were both ghosts they couldn't pass through each other like normal but instead, the Gengar was left with severe injuries and the Banette was knocked out of balance.
Meanwhile, Jaws struggled back up onto his feet, something his trainer noticed. "Jaws! Hydro Pump the Duskull!"
"Duskull! Grudge!" the Viper grunt called wickedly. The ghost pok?mon took on an eerie glow, draining part of Jaws' energy as it fainted from the attack, preventing him from using his Hydro Pump move again.
"Dusclops! Go!"
This is insane... Cid thought for himself, thanking his luck that the Duskull hadn't used destiny bond, as the larger ghost pok?mon appeared.
"Banette! Curse!" the Banette pricked itself with a pin, which had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, spectral energy seeping out from the wound and circling in on Dew, this wasn't good. And it was about to get worse...
"Gengar! Giga Drain!"
The ghost pok?mon got back on its feet, catching Jaws off guard and sapping what remained of the totodiles energy to heal itself.
"Back, Jaws!" Cid called, recalling his fallen Totodile as it staggered in an attempt to regain consciousness.
