He hit the ground; his ears ringing and head throbbing from the sound blast that continued to reverberate in his skull. Surely, had the underboss clasped a hand to his head, he would have thought it was trembling from the sheer force that had just coursed through his body—and it had smashed into him with this force from such a distance! Such an achievement would have put any Exploud to shame.[break][break]
“It is far more solid than mere observation would have anticipated,” he called into the headset, “if that creature is capable of reflecting a blow from a sharpened blade and able to create that level of sound, then it will most likely be composed of—” and the man scrambled to his feet, wondering if anyone could hear his observations over the verbal bombardment they had just endured. “—A hard, reflective, nonporous substance,” because he was assuming that the sound had to originate from the creature, not from its subjects suspended by the white appendages.[break][break]
“Regardless of the origin of the sound, the state of Bisharp's blade will support that assumption,” and in his scramble to regain his senses, he chucked out a second capsule.[break][break]
Alakazam came to the field.[break][break]
Bisharp would not be left trembling in the field; ally swap would change the positions of the two pokemon. Alakazam would find himself where the Bisharp once was, and vice-versa.[break][break]
His eyes would seek the blades of his trembling Bisharp, noting how they seemed chipped—the sound that had resounded from the pokemon upon the strike of Guillotine had been similar to glass. A steel-type? A rock-type? These conventions could not be easily applied.[break][break]
This was a being from another plane of existence—type conventions could not be a perfect fit. “Presume it is either steel or rock type in nature, until testing proves otherwise. Be aware that this creature will not abide by the rules that we normally apply to these typing—this thing will not function as though it were a normal pokemon—if we could even call it a pokemon.”[break][break]
“It seems to have impeccable defenses... let's see how strong it stands,” and Alakazam would not need an order from his master to execute its next move: Guard Swap.[break][break]
tldr: desmond has observed that the creature must be composed of a hard, reflective, nonporous substance; believes it may be steel or rock on this assumption. he deploys alakazam and has it use ally switch to swap positions with bisharp and guard swap to sap the creature's defenses.
