[nospaces] [attr="class","skullhover"] [attr="class","skullimg"] [attr="class","skulltitle"]導通抵抗 [attr="class","skulloverlap"]BUT HOLD YOUR BREATH, GUESS WHO'S RUNNING THE SHOW? [attr="class","skullbody"]At that proximity, there was no avoiding the down being kicked up from Blaziken's arm. In fact, the way Kurze's blade was rested against Blaziken's arm put him in direct range of it. His blades were now coated in a thick, child-safe surface of feathers, greatly blunting the power of his attacks. So dejected was he that he didn't even notice the deluge of water coming. The attack hit Kurze, doing minimal damage but sending him tumbling ass over teakettle. He turned around, glaring over at Dhelmise for the friendly fire.

"One point for Kurze," Isaac said. "Gonna have to try a little harder than that, Dhelmise."
[break][break]
Oh. Kurze knew what Isaac was doing now. He let out a rueful laugh, just in time to see the shadow of Blaziken looming over him. It was an elegant maneuver; jump just enough out of the way of the Whirlpool, then jump back in for a quick attack of his own. Kurze quickly rolled out of the way, a small push from the currents surrounding him making just enough difference to help him avoid the counterattack.
[break][break]
Normally, he would've immediately dove in for another attack. Instead, he kept some distance, studying both Blaziken's movements and his own damaged blades. It'd be like swinging with a pillow in his current state, but if he could find a way out of this mess with his Laser Focus . . .
[break][break]
As Kurze stepped back, Dhelmise came forward. By now, Vivi had clambered up Isaac's shoulder, watching the battle with steely intent. All was quiet, bar Dhelmise's mournful call and the occasional whisper from Isaac. Who would take the initiative in this battle?
[break][break]
At first, it seemed to be Dhelmise, who lunged toward Blaziken like a man possessed. However, before making contact, it started fading away. It would be gone without a trace by the time it would have reached Blaziken. This was the prelude to Phantom Force; arguably one of the most useful moves Isaac could break out in a battle like this. It'd take some time to deliver a hit, though. Was Isaac really going to give a foe like Blaziken this much breathing room?
[break][break]
Hell no! Obscured behind Dhelmise, a third Pokemon had entered the fray. Vivi had broken into a run from the safety of Dhelmise's shadow, relying on its larger size to keep her hidden. As Dhelmise turned incorporeal and faded away, she jumped through the lingering image and aimed a vicious kick with her back legs at its gut. As she thrusted, her legs ignited as if on fire; the last blow to be dealt this combat was, indeed, with a Blaze Kick, and Vivi was nothing if not a Copycat.
[break][break]
How effective would it actually be? Isaac couldn't be sure, but he didn't need a miracle. All he needed was a second of stagger, to buy Kurze and Dhelmise time to snap into action.
