The Joltik seemed to shift it's beady blue to Cait as it complimented it. If it could blush it probably would! But it's attention was quickly shifted to the skiddo! But then to the rustling in the trees, and then to Jet. Okay it's attention span was almost nonexistent outside of battle but once Jet gave the command the little bug would make sure to focus! As best it could anyway.

While the blue haired lad took a more direct approach to commands, the leader decided to let the pokemon go about it's own battle like it was in the wild or something. Was she making light of him or something? Maybe I should have just used Cu... he thought to himself with an annoyed expression. Since the boy focused on that of all things he failed o notice the Skiddo go for an attack. While it was slowed by the string it could still move and launch it's attack at Zap. The attack connected! And eve if the Skiddo wasn't too strong any light breeze would be enough to send the joltik flying. But Jet at the very least knew this fact which was why he started with stringshot. Not just to slow down the Skiddo but to anchor itself down so it wouldn't just be launched out of range constantly. Speaking of, the string connected to the Kidd would sweep around, the furry yellow spec swinging around it gracefully, landing behind it now.

On top of that elegant display, Jet had thought of another strategy with stringshot"Now! Elctroweb! But send the current through the string!" he commanded. The Joltik understood and let a current of electricity flow through it's silk. The lightning flew threw the string as if it was copper, incredibly quick and hot, giving a slight crackling noise while in the air and eventually on the skiddo. Jet had a wide smile on his face now, his annoyed features gone after his plan was executed. He himself was more focused now too and was enjoying working with his Joltik. Now if they could only win, that'd make his week!

Jet couldn't help but smirk as the attack landed exactly how he wanted. The lightning coursing through the skiddo would undoubtedly pain the little kid and cause it's special attack to lower! Now if it did have any special moves their attacks would be greatly diminished. In all honesty the blue haired lad didn't really know much about pokemon so he couldn't deduce if Cait's pokemon knew any special moves. As far as he knew though most grass pokemon like Treecko for instance knew some special moves early in life. And well from the looks of thing kid could be used to describe the pokemon in more than one way.

As for worrying about special moves, that wouldn't be apart right now as the opposing pokemon bucked it's head and charged at the furry bug. Before Jet could even issue a command, his joltik pulled the thread that was still wrapped around the skiddo in order to propel itself out of danger. It's trainer looked in awe as it glided through the air in the hopes to dodge the attack. Even with the speed difference however, Zap was still puked by the horns of the skiddo causing the part electric pokemon quite a bit of pain. But at the very least it managed to avoid being trampled into the ground so it was a win for both of them.

After being bucked by the goat, Zap pulled on her thread once more to lath onto the back of the grass type. Not only would this be a perfect strategic place for the little bug to avoid damage but one downside to being such a small bug was that Joltiks couldn't produce much of an electric charge by themselves. Hence why the bug loved to latch onto Jet, so it could absorb any and all static electricity from the boy to use in battle. Since it just used an electric move earlier it's reservoir was lowered a tad so it needed to refuel. And what better way than by latching onto the foe to take the bundles of static electricity built up in it's hyde! "Discharge!" The young rocket commanded. The move was a strong one with a high probability to paralyze too, but it'd mean that Zap would be left with next to no electricity to use for the rest of the fight. But better to use it now just in case Cait or her pokemon caught on to their plan. Besides, there was more than one way Joltik could hurt the grass type without using it's electric moves.

It took Jet a hot minute to realize that the Skiddo wasn't trying to buck off Joltik, but rather that it was frantically looking for the electric bug. Jet didn't think for a second that his pokemon would have it's presence hid. If the rocket had realized that then he probably would have strategised some other plan. Stil his current one did the trick all the same.

Zap clung tightly to the grass type's pelt and let out every last drop of electricity it had stored. Every watt, every volt, everything went into it's discharge attack. While he couldn't be too sure if the attack paralyzed the Skiddo, he did know now that Zap was going to start to get tired and move more sluggishly. For now though all the little bug could do was hold on for dear life. Now that the Skiddo found out where it's foe was it wouldn't be long until it started to hoist off the bug.

Once it did the Joltik started to let a hum in fear. The hum grew louder, sharper and more distinct until eventually it began a full on Bug Buzz assault on the back of the Kid. It of course still attempted to keep it's many legged clutches on the pokemon while also using it's attack. How long could it even stay on for was anyone's guess. Even being so small the bug looked like it was incredibly tired, it's many blue eyes shut tight as it continued it's shriek.

A cocky smirk graced Jet's lips. He was all too overconfident in his victory while his Joltik continued to buzz loudly in the Skiddo's ear. But then something unexpected happened. The goat began to glow, white? Jet was confused for a moment, unsure of what was happening. If he didn't know any better he would have assumed it was charging up for some sky attack. But seeing things unfurl only made him cetain that it was some healing move. The goat's fatigue seemed to become lessened while the pained expression it exuded earlier was all but gone. shit.

After the milk drink, the goat toppled over quickly, trying to roll over onto it's back. Even without a flexible lower body the movement was quite swift. Even the string shot Zap had ensnared the pokemon in would have little effect in how quickly the grass type could twist. Jet was worried for his Joltik again. He couldn't tell it quick enough to move. How would it handle the situation?

Well from Jet's shocked and quite frankly horrified reaction, not well. The goat succeeded in it's roll, but the Bug Buzz continued? The Joltik remained on the Skiddo's back, looking hurt but not too bad considering. With all the cracks in the ground it managed to avoid most of the blunt force of being smuched to the ground. But given how the Joltik jumped off the goat, one of it's legs was clearly badly hurt. Broken or sprained? Well it was jup for debat bout two of it's 6 legs were badly injured. And of course they were on the same side! "Another stringshot! Don't let it move an inch!" But the Joltik didn't listen. It still had the thread clutched tightly in it's front legs, continuing to the bug buzz barrage. It was clearly frightened and continued to screech. Jet couldn't even blame it. Maybe with the constant buzzing the skiddo would lose some of it's defenses, "Well uh, yeah keep it up I guess?" Better sound like hes in control!

tl;dr
Joltik used bug buzz despite the command otherwise!
