On a grassy battlefield, a fierce shoas about to begin.

  Turtwig g Vulpix and the group of Pokémon behind Paul, sensing that winning this battle would be no easy feat, especially with the o defeat four Pokémon in succession.

  "Twig!"

  After a moment of thought, Turtwig decided to make the first move. It swung its head, unleashing a barrage of Razor Leaf attacks. The sharp, bde-like leaves sliced through the air toward Vulpix.

  "Use Fmethrower!"

  Vulpix released a stream of bzing fmes from its mouth, intending to ie the Razor Leaf.

  To its surprise, the fmes didn't pletely reduce the leaves to ash. Instead, the sharp leaves seemed poised to cut through the fire.

  Realizing the danger, Vulpix quickly increased the iy of its fmes, managing to ralize the attack. But when it looked ahead, Turtwig was no longer in its inal position.

  "Above you! Use Extrasensory!"

  Paul's sharp and prompted Vulpix to instinctively look upward. Its eyes glowed with a mysterious blue light as it unched a psychic beam.

  From above, Turtwig dove down with incredible speed, attempting a mid-air Tackle. It twisted slightly in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the psychic beam, and propelled itself with a gust of wind, crashing toward Vulpix.

  "Dodge it!"

  Vulpix swiftly used the force of its Extrasensory to leap several meters away, narrowly avoiding the collision.

  "Twig!"

  Before Vulpix could catch its breath, Turtwig nded gracefully and immediately dashed forward. Its seemingly harmless mouth opened wide, g down hard on Vulpix's head.

  Bite!

  "Vul!"

  Vulpix cried out in pain, struggling desperately, but its efforts had no effect. The pain from Turtwig's bite was overwhelming.

  "Use Disable!"

  Paul hadn't expected Vulpix to use Disable for the first time in a real battle against a Grass-type Pokémon, but he had no other choice.

  "Vul!"

  Summoning its irength, Vulpix unleashed a wave of energy that enveloped Turtwig.

  Disable: This move prevents the oppo from using their st move for a short time, effectively sealing off Bite.

  Turtwig immediately felt its biting strength weaken and its body freeze momentarily, as if paralyzed.

  Seizing the opportunity, Vulpix used Extrasensory to fling Turtwig away.

  "Twig!"

  While airborurtwig regais mobility and quickly retaliated. It swung its head, sending another wave of Razor Leaf at Vulpix.

  "Use Fire Bst!"

  "Vul!"

  Uo dodge in time, the exhausted Vulpix mustered all its strength and unleashed a massive-shaped burst of fmes. The powerful attaerated the ining Razor Leaf and exploded, sending shockwaves across the battlefield.

  Though Turtwig was thrown back a few meters, it eadily, showing no signifit signs of damage.

  "Vulpix, return!"

  Paul assessed the situation. The repeated bursts of energy and injuries had takeoll on Vulpix. It was clearly outmatched by Turtwig’s endurand bat awareness.

  "Vul..."

  Vulpix relutly retreated, seeking so Blissey's f arms.

  Why couldn’t it defeat a Grass-type like Turtwig when it had previously bested Water-types like Buizel? It whimpered in frustration.

  "Your turn, Gible!"

  Paul sed his team a out the most eion of the day.

  "Sha-Sha!"

  Gible waddled forward with its short legs, waving cheerfully at Turtwig. It seemed less like a challenger and more like it was looking for a new friend.

  As long as you don’t fly, we be friends, it thought.

  "Twig!"

  Turtwig wasn’t in the mood for friendship. It swung its head again, unleashing another wave of Razor Leaf.

  "Use Dig!"

  Knowing that Fmethrower was barely a match for Razor Leaf, Paul opted for a deferategy. Gible quickly burrowed underground, narrowing the distaween itself and Turtwig.

  Ordinarily, most Pokémon would grow anxious or try to locate the digging oppo.

  But Turtwig remained calm, standing still as the sprouts on its head glowed faintly.

  Moments ter, the grouh Turtwig caved in, f a swirling vortex of sand. Gible’s position was revealed as it was dragged into the whirlpool.

  Sand Tomb!

  Turtwig leapt out of the trap’s range as soon as the swirling vortex formed.

  Paul’s eyes widened in surprise. Clearly, this wasn’t Gible’s doing.

  "Twig!"

  Seizing the moment, Turtwig unleashed a Sor Beam, the energy it had been gathering i now focused into a blinding beam of light.

  "Dodge with Dig!"

  Trapped in the Sand Tomb, Gible could still dig, but its speed was severely hihe Sor Beam exploded just as Gible ehe ground, partially hitting its target and sending it flying out of the trap.

  "Shaa..."

  Gible nded hard, its body covered in fresh wounds. The Sor Beam had inflicted signifit damage.

  "Twig!"

  Not giving Gible any time to recover, Turtwig charged fain, unleashing another Razor Leaf while preparing for a decisive Tackle.

  "Use Bite!"

  Paul’s and pushed Gible to its limit. With all its might, it ss jaws shut on Turtwig as it charged.

  As a move that came almost instinctively to Gible, Bite was executed with lightning speed. Turtwig didn’t have time to react as its head and part of its body were caught in Gible’s powerful jaws, halting its attapletely.

  Despite its struggles, Turtwig found itself immobilized, uo use even Razor Leaf.

  But Turtwig wasn’t out of options just yet.
