[ 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!]
[ He winces in solidarity as Anasui takes a Slash just the same, frustrated he couldn't have done more to stop it. With a growl, he holds his ground in case the Zangoose tries to take another go at him. Fortunately, the Paralysis seems to stick this time around, leaving it wide open for an attack. Anasui's callout stops Laios from lunging forward again, his eyes widening instead as the other's feathers start to glow. It's quite the sight up close — the Boltund can't help but marvel as the burst of energy takes the wild Pokémon down.
He doesn't hesitate when Anasui suggests to use another Discharge. They both know the risk, but are equally prepared all the same. Rushing in, he takes in another deep breath, charging up his energy as a flurry of sparks seem to follow his trail. Laios leaps into the center of them all, unleashing a widespread surge of electricity, the wild Pokémon all crying out as if in unison.
But he shifts his focus to his partner almost immediately, brows furrowing in concern. Paralyzing the other would be the worst outcome, after all. ] Anasui... are you okay?
[Even though he wants to yell like the others (his body takes physical and special moves as well as their opponents), Anasui can take hits like it's no one's business so he stands his ground. He ruffles his feathers, as if trying to shake off the pain and nods.]
Ugh... Your attacks aren't to be taken lightly. But I'm fine enough. Let's just finish this already.
[He turns his attention to the trio and drops his voice to something low, deep and surprisingly charming.]
You three are hardly worth our time. But if you dare come close to this town again, we'll tear you to shreds. Or perhaps... Laios will finish you off completely.
[There's no way to dodge Anasui's Disarming Voice and pink soundwaves surrounded by hearts and musical notes fly from him to the opponents. One of the Gumshoos faints while the others barely look conscious. Looks like Anasui is leaving the decision to finish off these Pokemon or let them go to Laios.]

I rolled a d100 and got 58. regardless if I took the top or bottom 30, Anasui wouldn't be paralyzed!
