[ Prepared for the switch, he finds it less disorienting the second time, though he can't help but let out a small huff of disappointment when his target remains where it was. At the very least, it puts Anasui in the perfect position to keep it pinned down.
Quietly, under his breath, he mutters: ] ... Good to know. [ But he quickly snaps out of his thoughts when he hears the Esparthra's yell out. Laios immediately starts to move forward, until Anasui offers another Ally Swap. ] I'm ready!
[ He stances up, already baring his teeth to immediately go at the attack Gumshoos. ] But rush back in after! We need to take them on together now.
Understood! [Anasui locks eyes with Laios again and swaps their positions. The Gumshoos that was being crushed almost whimpers in relief as Laios reappears in that spot. The one that just bit Anasui snarls at Laios, trying to dodge the Boltund's attack.
Anasui immediately bounds out of the bush at full force. He goes straight to the Pokemon that Laios is attacking. He immediately uses Aerial Ace and kicks the creature hard.
Meanwhile, the Zangoose finally manages a move through its paralysis and tries to slash at the duo.]
[ On the switch, Laios immediately lunges again, roughly pushing off one Gumshoos to go right after the other instead. Prepared this time, however, it jumps away, kicking up a Sand Attack right at him to keep its distance. It's enough to get Laios to hesitate, but even after he shakes his head to clear his vision, the Boltund doesn't make another attempt. The distraction held long enough for the Espathra to come barreling in, kicking the Pokémon at full force. It snarls, hitting the ground with a deep thud. ]
—now you.
[ He turns back to the Gumshoos on the ground, pouncing to keep it pinned before it can manage to get its bearings. Baring his teeth, he's ready to clamp down, this time on the Pokémon's neck, only to lift his head at the sound of the approaching Zangoose. His eyes widen, unable to Roar in time before it Slashes hard enough to knock him off the Gumshoos. With an involuntary whimper, he pushes himself to stand and yell out a warning: ] Anasui, look out!
[ Not bothering with helping it's friend any longer, the Zangoose is fixated on Slashing at Anasui instead. ]
[Once the Gumshoos is down, Anasui moves to kick it again to make sure it's properly down. The creature bares its teeth and tries to bite Anasui's foot but Anasui brutally stamps down on its head with another Aerial Ace.
The bird whips his head around, hearing Laios' whimper of pain, but before he can say anything, the Zangoose is upon him. Anasui could dodge but instead he grits his teeth and takes the hit. The Slash fucking hurts but it's no critical hit, and Anasui is left standing. Anasui glares daggers at the Zangoose that's now positioned right in front of him, unable to get away thanks to the paralysis.]
Diver Down!
[He doesn't need to shout that but it's instinct and it feels right. The gaps between his feathers glow and shoot off another Lumina Crash. The Zangoose hisses loudly as it's blasted with the burst of psychic energy, sending it flying back into the other Gumshoos who's trying to pick itself off the ground.]
They're weakened! Finish them off! Don't worry about me! [One foe weak, two with lowered special defenses! Now is a good of a time as any to Discharge!]
