[Grimsley's eyes flash briefly and there is a note of tension to his voice for the first time.]
Krookodile! Out of the way!
[But alas! What is it doing? After that stomp, Krookodile appears to have gone mad and is now continuing to furiously turn about slashing at an imaginary foe. At one point, its own tail smashes into its arm and it screeches in pain again... Grimsley does a quick count. One low power move, one half-effective move, one move hit in confusion... And what about Bisharp? Another Earthquake would have done it, but...
Krookodile is defenceless as Bisharp launches itself forward with bladed arms outstretched. The maneuver is staggeringly difficult, so much so that it was nearly impossible to pull off unless the attacking monster was extremely well-trained. ...Unfortunately, that described Bisharp to a tee. With only a 32% chance of hitting, the metal arms close around the reptile's neck. What follows is really something to see. Landing briefly on the ground, Bisharp jumps high up into the air, lifting all 200+ pounds of crocodile after him. At the apex of his jump, a slow somersault is performed... then another, and another, and finally, in a blur, Bisharp launches its enemy straight towards the ground. But before Krookodile can hit, a beam of red intercepts and it is sucked back into its Pokeball.
No Pokemon centers here, after all. Grimsley has an expression of guarded satisfaction on his face as he nods.]
Of course, the only time Bisharp pulls off that move is against my own Pokemon. Alas.
