[ His tail whips silently back and forth as he listens to Anasui's plan. It's efficient, as to be expected, and he has no qualms with executing it besides one detail. ]
On the second swap—could you wait until I Bite into one? I can take a few hits, but if I can grab one to take back into the bushes... separating them would give us another advantage. [ Granted, this addendum would be heavily dependent on if Ally Swap would even work on something he'd be holding down. ] Even if it doesn't work, I can still wear them out more before you go back in.
[ He loosens his stance, keeping himself limber in preparation for a fight. ] Ready when you are, Anasui.
Hmmm... I don't know if Ally Swap will work like that but worth a shot. It'll be interesting to test nonetheless.
[Anasui nods. He takes a deep breath, steadies himself and then sprints forward. The unsuspecting two Gumshoos and Zangoose don't even have time to yell before Anasui lands right in front of the closest Gumshoos. With a yell, Anasui lets loose a peculiar pink-blue light from his body right into the Gumshoos. The Gumshoos yells and staggers back and Anasui turns his head towards the bush he knows Laios is at.
The enemies have a chance to get a hit on Anasui before he makes another move but, regardless if they hit or not, Anasui will stick to the plan and 'Ally Swap' with Laios. Go dog boy go!]
[ Laios nods at Anasui's words, even if it may not be visible. Silently, he disconnects their psychic link. His ears are enough to listen to other's movements as he prepares for the impending Ally Swap. Despite the fight that's about to ensue, the building adrenaline gets a smile out of him, ready for what's next.
Once the scuffle starts, Laios perks up from the bush, locking eyes with the Espathra before offering another nod. Just like that, he feels the world around him shift before he can even blink. For a second, he takes a moment to catch up with himself, the suddenness of it all at least keeping their foes off-guard long enough for him to build up the energy to unleash a Discharge.
Sparks fly all around, hitting the Zangoose at lease with enough power to paralyze it. One Gumshoos stumbles back, but the other manages to evade it entirely before lunging right at the Boltund. Quickly, he lets out a Roar to push it away, before rushing at it to pin it down for a Bite.
Before his teeth sink in, he calls back: ] Anasui, now!
[Anasui is used to the swaps, so he recovers quickly from the sudden change in position. He has to admit, Laios was as strong as he was adaptable - That Discharge did some significant damage. And he handles the three-on-one like a champion. Anasui watches the Boltund move and watches him pin the opponent down. As planned, he uses Ally Swap again, switching their positions.
Unfortunately, Ally Swap doesn't work on opponents, so only Laios is sent back to the bush in Anasui's place. However, Anasui appears right on top of the Gumshoos, which makes the poor Pokemon cry out in pain as instantly over a hundred extra pounds is pressed on top of it. Anasui instantly turns and Pecks at the nearby, paralyzed Zangoose, making the slowed Pokemon hiss in frustration.
However, the Gumshoos that was roared back quickly surges back to Anasui. It's clear they have no idea what's going on but they're getting attacked! It uses Bite onto Anasui's flank, making the man hiss loudly in pain.]
Get the hell off! [Anasui groans. That hit him harder than he thought it would. The Espathra tries to shake it off to no avail. He snarls.] Laios! Get ready to switch again! [If Laios confirms, he'll swap places with the other man. However, now wouldn't be a bad time for both of you to frontline.]
