Bishop watched intently as his opponent switched out his Blaziken for his Haunter Pokemorph. His eyes narrowed as the Blastoise was ordered to use Earthquake, which would not harm his levitating teammate. The Haunter was commanded to use Thunderbolt to complement the attack, and this is when Bishop grinned.<br/><br/><br/>"He's using Thunderbolt instead of a ghost attack? Hmph, that will do hardly anything."<br/><br/><br/>As the Thunderbolt hit its mark, the Light Screen popped up, and Clarice stood with a mere flinch as the attack hit its mark. Gothitelles had naturally very high special defense, and combined with the Light Screen, Clarice seemed no worse for the wear. "Hmm, that was a good attack, but you can do better than that." she said, dusting her dress off. However, the real danger approached as Earthquake hit both Clarice and Alexander. This powerful attack hit Clarice quite a bit more, but with Reflect up she was able to withstand it. Alexander, naturally bulky and built to tank powerful attacks, took the attack with all the grace and poise of someone sipping wine. During an earthquake.<br/><br/><br/>"Those Pokemon are powerful...I'd bet my money those are his most powerful. If I take them out now, his chances of winning will go down drastically." Bishop said with a grin. Bishop had been a Pokemon trainer for ten years, but what he lacked in experience, he made up for in statistics. He had his Pokemon especially bred for their combat roles, and nothing else, so that they would excel at their specializations.<br/><br/><br/>"Clarice, use Swagger on that Blastoise!" Bishop commanded, and Clarice did just that. If Serperior were capable of raising an eyebrow, Alexander would be doing just that as he glanced at Clarice giving a jaunt, confusing her foe. "Alexander, you use Leaf Blade on that Blastoise!" Alexander's focus returned at his master's command, and he grinned as his tail lit up, ready to unleash his attack as he charged towards the Blastoise very quickly and slashed.
