Just as Tiki had so meticulously calculated, the embers soared through the air from Growlithe’s glowing maw. It wasn’t long before Electrike’s charge flew up to collide with the cloud of searing smoke, leaving a massive puff of burning raw energy.
Tiki let out a smile, looking to Kekoa with a thumbs up as the powered-up attack barreled toward the two opposing pokémon.

"Dodge it!" Madyson called. Dedenne rolled out of the way, but the attack was too fast for it; the little creature squealed and rolled out of the way, and when the smoke cleared, Madyson could see that Dedenne was knocked out.
"Oh, Dedenne… we really need to do more training, don't we…" she muttered, clenching her teeth. She would retrieve the little mouse Pokémon, but Sneasel was still battling and she didn't want to get in the way of any attacks.

Sneasel's initial attempt at attacking put her right in the blast radius. "Sneasel, no!" Dallas cried, but the pokémon was done for the time being. "Return!" After Sneasel was tucked safely in her pokéball, she murmered a soft, "You did well. It was my fault for having you attack when I did." She looked to the other trainers, a small, bittersweet smile on her lips. To Tiki and Kekoa, she said, "That combination was smart. I'd love to discuss it more in depth, but I'm afraid we're all in need of a trip to the center."

She summoned the rest her team, who looked at Sneasel's pokéball in concern, but with the promise that the ice type would be just fine they all returned willingly to their own.

Madyson retrieved Dedenne and returned it to its Poké Ball, then stood up with a smile at Kekoa and Tiki. "Nice combined move!"

“Thanks! Electrike is certainly MVP, though,” Tiki replied, looking to Growlithe fondly. “What do you think, bud?”
Growlithe, who was moderately banged up, gave a light huff in response. Smoke coiled from his mouth as he looked over to Electrike, bowing his head in approval. As previously stated, it was normally extremely difficult for other pokémon to earn Growlithe’s respect— but Kekoa’s didn’t seem to have much trouble.
“And Growlithe, we might have to work a little on your counters. I know a metal claw to the jaw isn’t the best solution,” he continued, kneeling down to stroke the pup’s fur. By this time, Chespin was awake, poking Growlithe’s nose when he got in the vicinity. Growlithe seemed to only tolerate it, his eyes heavy and posture tall as he glared.

Kekoa let out an excited cheer and threw his fists in the air, "Yeah we did it!" He looked down at his excited lectric type and kneeled down, patting him on the head, "You did great, Electrike!" He stood back up, "And Tiki! That was a great idea! You did really well too Growlithe!" Electrike excitedly jumped around near Growlithe, happy that they had won.

"You guys coming?" Dallas called, looking expectantly at the other trainers as she walked over to the Pokémon Center. She was disappointed at the loss, but grateful for the opportunity to have a battle with such quick-minded trainers.

"Yeah, sure!" Madyson stowed Dedenne's Poké Ball in her pocket and hurried after Dallas, Absol loping along behind.

“Of course!” Tiki replied, fumbling around in his pocket for Growlithe’s pokeball. He touched it gently to the pokémon’s side, Growlithe bowing as he returned.
And as if on cue, Ampharos and Jangmo-o came bounding over, teetering around and celebrating as enthusiastically as they could. Tiki gave them both little ruffles of the fur, giving Chespin gently to Ampharos. The electric type gave a comforting purr, hugging Chespin close to his chest.
“Alrighty, folks, let’s go get Growlithe all fixed up, shall we?” he asked, standing up and beginning to follow after Dallas.
“And— Dallas and Madyson— awesome job with the fight. I can tell Sneasel is super speedy, and Dedenne sure has that electric passion.”

Madyson laughed. "Dedenne has also been eating too many Poké Puffs. It's a glutton."
