TAG WITH @hideo
Hideo Kino
Though the fight had ended before either Pokemon fainted, it was clear who was in better condition; Squeeze’s legs were wobbly as she walked back towards her trainer, near-crying from the burning pain. Those two fire attacks had done a number on her, compared to the Houndoom who just needed the pin needles removed, and had already dealt with the String Shot.
Hideo felt Squeeze brush up against him - it was easy to guess she needed his help. And he could tell what it was for; he could feel the heat emanating from her rear, a flame still burning on her. “I got the solution for that,” Hideo said, dropping his backpack and quickly rifling through it. He took out a water bottle and potion, dousing the flame with water before spraying her. It wasn’t a full heal, and she wouldn’t be fighting for the rest of today, but it would make her a bit more comfortable and stop her from getting any worse.
“There? That feel bet-” He received the answer before finishing the question, receiving a tight hug from the big bug. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
But bonding time would have to wait; it was time to summarize his experience.
It took him a moment, but Hideo was able to think up a few points about the fight. “Well...I guess I could have done better. I knew we were gonna fight, but I didn’t expect you to just do it suddenly, so you caught me off guard. If I reacted faster, Squeeze wouldn’t have been bitten, and she might’ve been able to completely avoid that Inferno.”
“I probably should’ve switched her out for a different Pokemon too. Bugs aren’t that great against Fire-types, and her webs are pretty flammable. It would’ve been a better idea for me to use my Dewott for that fight, since he’s a Water-type.” Ironic that the Pokemon he switched out for Squeeze, would’ve done better than her. But not like he knew he’d be facing Skids’ Houndoom first.
“As for the fight itself; I know Houndooms are fast, and Squeeze is kinda slow, so once I got the chance, I tried to slow Holo down. Squeeze is great as slowing other Pokemon down before beating on them, but she didn’t have much room for that with all those fire attacks your Houndoom was using.” He’d been on the defensive for pretty much the whole fight, and paid for it.
“So I guess…” He didn’t want to say it, but it was the truth ”...I’d say I lost the battle. If Squeeze struck first, I could’ve taken better control over the battle. But since I didn’t, you had control the whole time.”
