Having been around Pokemon for all my life, I watched as Flygon prepared to attack. I quickly called out Blastiose, and had him take the hit, and immeditaly feeling guilty.
"I'm sorry." I called to Blastoise. He just nodded, being the least friendy of my Pokemon. I sighed, almost ready to give up on befriending him. After all, I had been trying for 4 years now, and nothing seemed to work.
"Use Withdrawl, in case Flygon tries another attack." Blastiose responded, bringing his head, and legs inside his massive shell.
