Electivire laughed as he saw Paul become serious for once, Electivire likes arrogant people because at the end of the day there is no one more arrogant than him, he loves to put down arrogant people with his own arrogance.

Seeing Electivire laugh at him Paul gets frustrated, that grin on Electivire's face really makes him mad, he even wondered if his Electabuzz would become like this. ​​

Paul 'There is no time to think about this, I have to defeat that Shinx and Electivire'

Paul thought and tried to figure out his opponent, he didn't have a ground or rock type pokemon on him right now so he had to use Electabuzz but Electabuzz is a little slow compared to its opponent.

Paul "Electabuzz use Quick Attack"

With Quick Attack, Electabuzz moved a little faster and was able to get very close to Shinx and about hit him but Electivire is waiting for this.

Electivire [Shinx now between his legs and Thunder Fang on his ankle]

Shinx saw the wide gap between Electabuzz's legs and went through it completely startling Electabuzz, then he turned around and bit down hard on Electabuzz's ankle with Thunder Fang, even though Electabuzz is an electric type pokemon and won't be damaged by Thunder Fang a lot, Electivire is planning something completely different, he wants to weaken the ankle of Electabuzz until it gets hard for it to move.

Electivire was once an Electabuzz, he knows that Electabuzz has to rely on their legs to carry their huge body if one of them is injured, Electabuzz will come down.

Julian realized what Electivire was thinking and smiled, even though it's not Julian's style to only attack one spot and weaken it, he is impressed by Electivire's cunning ways, this will be a very good battle as Paul also has the same fighting style, he continuously tries to aim at one spot to weaken it.

Julian wants to see how Paul will react to being treated the same way he treats others in a pokemon battle.

Electabuzz comes to its knee as it feels the numbness on its ankle.

Paul "Electabuzz get up and use low kick"

Paul commanded.

Electabuzz ignored the numbness and turned around to hit Shinx with a low kick.

Electivire [Jump up and use Bite]

Shinx once again did as Electivire told and jumped up dodging the swiping kick from Electabuzz and used Bite, the jaw made from dark energy snapped shut on Electabuzz's face and caused a small explosion causing Electabuzz to move back and close its eyes.

Electivire [Now once again Thunder Fang on the same ankle]

Electivire gave another command.

Paul has another problem in this battle and that is he cannot tell what move Electivire is commanding so that he can counter.

Shinx swiftly appears behind Electabuzz as it still rubbing its face from the pain and bites down with another Thunder Fang, once again an electric charge goes through Electabuzz's body but it doesn't cause much damage except the increasing numbness on its ankle.

Electivire [Back down and wait]

Electivire commands and grins, he then looks at Paul and signals him to make the next move, seeing this Paul gets frustrated, he didn't expect to get humiliated by a pokemon.

Unlike Julian, Electivire likes to toy with his opponent, just like Gengar Electivire has adapted to Julian's cruel side, while Infernape to his positive side and Gyarados to Julian's pride, every pokemon of Julian is influenced by Julian in one way or the other.

Julian just watches this battle and says nothing, he will not complain about anything because he has also played this game of toying with opponents who he doesn't like.

Paul "Electabuzz, Thunder Punch"

Electabuzz gets back to its feet and charges towards Shinx, seeing Paul act impulsively Electivire grins.

Electivire [Wait for it to get close then use Fake Tears]

Electivire commands.

Shinx stands his ground and waits for Electabuzz to get close and once Electabuzz is close to striking distance, Shinx lowers his head and pretends to get scared and tears come out of his eyes.

Seeing this Electabuzz suddenly gets startled and stops, suddenly a dark aura surrounds Electabuzz suddenly lowering his Special Defense by two stages.

Fake Tears is a powerful status type move if a pokemon falls for it its special defense goes down by two stages.

Electivire [Now Thunder Shock]

Shinx get back to his feet and the usual look on his face returns and he blasts a powerful lightning strike at Electabuzz, with Electivire's training Shinx, has already mastered how to control his powers, Julian had already laid up a great foundation, Electivire just had to show how to channel it properly, so Shinx mastered it.

Even though Electabuzz is resistant to electric type attacks, with its special defense lowered by two stages, the ThunderBolt caused a lot of damage.

Electabuzz gets zapped hard this time and falls on the ground, the numbness on its ankle flares with because of the stored electricity by the last two Thunder Fangs from before.

Seeing Electabuzz go down Paul is shocked.

Electivire [Well done little Shinx]

Electivire praises Shinx, Shinx nods happily and hops happily, suddenly he starts to glow and increase in size.

Julian 'As expected even he was close to evolving, after mastering how to control his powers, he was able to trigger this evolution from that last ThunderBolt'

Shinx starts to evolve and grows bigger, he grows a mane, his legs become longer and thicker, his claws get sharper and longer as well.

The glow fades away and Luxio is seen by everyone, Shinx evolved into Luxio.

Julian smiles and nods.

Electivire [Little Luxio, hahaha, now our opponent doesn't even have the chance to win this battle in his dreams]

Electivire laughs and looks at Paul and taunts him once again.

Paul is getting more frustrated, he didn't expect to fall in such a dire state.

Paul 'I only have one shot now to win this battle'

Paul thinks and looks at the colossal opponent in front of him.
