Team Rocket's Second-in-Command!

"X-Scissor!"

Scyther's bladed arms crossed into an X, slicing down toward Electabuzz.

But Electabuzz, being Scyther's longtime rival, reacted instantly. Its fist crackled with electricity as it met Scyther's attack head-on.

"Thunder Punch!"

While X-Scissor dealt heavy damage, Thunder Punch hit just as hard and had the added advantage of type effectiveness. The electric fist connected solidly with Scyther, forcing it back with a jolt.

Scyther reeled from the blow, feeling the impact even more intensely.

Seeing this, Yas's face twisted. "You scoundrel! Scyther, dodge it!"

He called out frantically as Scyther leapt to evade.

Kaz just laughed. "Scoundrel? I call it strategy! Electabuzz, press the attack!"

"Elec-buzz!" Electabuzz roared, its antennae firing off another bolt of electricity at the retreating Scyther.

But Scyther, having avoided the first attack, wasn't about to be caught so easily. Its wings beat furiously as it shot upward, dodging the bolt before diving down, blades poised to strike Electabuzz from above.
