Shake it off!"</em> the flustered Juliette requested. <br/><em>"Cl...ef..."</em> the Clefable had some mobility, but each movement felt like she was covered in pounds of maple syrup. Trying desperately to shake herself out of it, Clef might have managed if the Dratini wasn't wrapped around her waist.<br/><br/><em>"Clef!"</em><br/><br/><em>"Now you got him, Clef. Let's Sing (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sing_(move)) to him!"</em><br/>Like a chanteuse, the Clefable used what little vocals she was able to summon, to lull her assailant into slumber. Dratini, who at this time was wrapped around Clef's body, became limp and fell to the floor, asleep, in a single loud "thud." <br/><br/><em>"Clef."</em> The increasingly-less-paralyzed Clef began to style her hair - the Dratini had screwed it up. However, Clef wasn't entirely out of the woods yet; Juliette approximated 2 turns before Clef would be entirely free from her paralyzed status. <br/><br/><em>"Clef, wake him up with a Double Slap! (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/DoubleSlap_(move))"</em> Juliette commanded and observed her fashionable Clefable, frozen in place. <br/><br/><em>"Shit."  </em></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div align="center">Goldenrod Gym<br/>Julian &amp; Mac</div><br/>Thankfully, Mac was able to shake off his drowsiness the moment that his head hit the floor with that large thunking sound. At first Julian was concerned that this would be detrimental to the Dratini, however, Mac simply shot Clefable a frustrated Leer (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Leer_(move)) before bouncing backwards a safe distance away. Of course, rather or not Clefable actually made eye contact with Mac had yet to be determined, so that Lear could potentially have fallen on unnoticing ears and been completely pointless. For now though, Julian knew that he had to keep the offensive up. Seeing his opportunity as the Clefable was paralyzed, he extended his hand outwards. "Alright, Mac, hit her with your Twister (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Twister_(move))!" Since Twister was a dragon type attack, Julian was confident that it would automatically deal more damage then just Mac wrapping around her. Still, Twister was far from the most impressive Dragon type attack in the world. Sure, it was a good fundamental, but the moment that Mac learned Dragon rage would be a good day for Julian. For now though, he'd just make do with the techniques that he had, and Twister was about the most powerful attack in his arsenal.<br/><br/>Just like before, Mac's eyes glowed blue and the blast of dragon wind from before started to appear beneath Clefable's feet. Julian was hoping that since this attack was strong enough to at least make an Ursaring flinch, that it would deal concrete damage to the Clefable. Of course, if this didn't work, then Julian would have absolutely no idea what he could do. Mac only knew four techniques, and he was fairly sure that the small dragon worm was already starting to get tired. And this was the gateway that would let him just challenge the gym leader? Just what would Whitney have in store for him if he even made it to her? Would he even really stand a chance?<br/><br/>No... If he couldn't take on one gym, if he couldn't beat these odds, then he could never reform the world. He'd fight to the best of his ability, and if his determination leaked through into Mac, he was confident that nothing could stop them.<br/><br/>
