[attr="class","mimi"]the wild seismitoad looks way more sure than either of her pokemon, for sure. mimi signals for a shift in gear, to steer away from the dangerous-looking pokemon even if it didn't prove to be dangerous yet. she'd have to start training the baby tuanzi for battle soon, but that time was still farther away. in the meantime, they just take a different path to the same destination.

[attr="class","mimi"]or maybe it's time for tuanzi's first lesson. a pokemon zooms past the group. too fast to see, but mimi is certain it is a vibrava. the violent vibration of its wings can't be mistaken. "tuanzi, you should watch this," she calls for the jangmo-o's attention, before turning to the garchomp soaring above them. "after it."

the garchomp descends at a speed only bested by the vibrava itself. their comparative advantage? the vibrava can't fly very far distances due to its developing wings, while the garchomp's are fully developed. naturally, the cat-and-mouse chase ends when the vibrava can no longer keep up. the garchomp strikes with dragon rush, to which the vibrava answers by summoning a sandstorm. it hopes to run away in the storm, but doesn't count with the garchomp's sand veil ruins its plans.

"when you can't match an opponent in one of their qualities, best them with a different one," the woman narrates the moral of the story.
