Shinxy was unfamiliar with the move, and didn't know how to tell his Servine to respond to it. Servine only stood in place and took the attack. Fantina: Come now, you want my badge, don't you? I suggest you tell your pokemon to at least try to dodge. Shinxy: Well, I've never seen that attack before! Servine, if you're alright, then use Leaf Blade! Fantina: Duskull, dodge it! Servine dashed at Duskull at a rather impressive speed. Duskull indeed tried to dodge the attack, but was not fast enough to avoid the incoming Leaf Blade. The attack landed in a direct it, and Duskull fainted, falling to the ground. Shinxy: Awesome job, Servine! Shinxy smirked, and Servine stood triumphantly over the fainted Duskull. Shinxy: Hey Fantina, if you don't wanted to give me a challenge, then maybe don't use pokemon that will go down in one hit! Crystal: Wow, it's going great so far. And Shinxy still has three other pokemon to use! Altan: True, but it's too soon to get cocky. Mewtwo: I agree. I don't think that someone who can sense the auras of pokemon would be defeated so easily. Fantina faintly smiled as she called back Duskull into it's pokeball. Fantina: Bravo, young trainer~ I'm rather impressed that your Servine could knock out my Duskull in one shot. You'll be needing strong pokemon like that, because the easy part is over. Fantina then sends out her Haunter onto the battlefield. Fantina: Now then, Haunter, use Confuse Ray! This time, Shinxy was familiar with the attack, and told his Servine to close it's eyes. Unfortunately, the trick proved innefective, and Haunter's sinister ray confused Servine. Shinxy: C-come on Servine, use Leaf Blade again! Shinxy's calls did not reach Servine, it merely began hitting itself in it's daze. Having the upper hand, Fantina called on her Haunter to use Shadow Claw. Unable to respond to Shinxy's commands, Servine took the hit directly, but was still able to stand. Fantina: Still standing? Okay, Haunter, do it again~ Shinxy: Servine, please! Snap out of it! Once again his pleas did not reach Servine, resulting in the confused snake to take another direct Shadow claw. This time, the attack caused Servine to faint. Crystal: Oh no! Altan: Damn, that's a tough strategy to counter. Shinxy is in real trouble here. Shinxy sighed and returned Servine to her pokeball. Fantina: I told you the easy part was over. I wonder how Shanon's son will be able to fight back against my pokemon's Confuse Ray? Shinxy: I don't know right now, but I'll win this battle, just you wait!\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
