It's a good thing that Shroomish absorbed back some of its lost energy, because that bind is rough. Shroomish seems to squirm, helpless.
"It's OK, Shroomish! Release your Stun Spores! That'll stop it!"
Edit for timeliness: If the Onix is paralyzed successfully, I will have.... "Shroomish, use Absorb! Sap its energy until it faints while it can't move!"
OOC Edit: Sorry to keep overloading my thread, but I have a trainer battle queued up after this. Just FYI. I'll post it once this battle ends.
Onix's grip on Shroomish slackened after the spores were released. It seemed to have trouble moving properly, and then the absorb hit it full-on. The attack must have hit a weak spot in Onix's armor, because it dropped like a snake made of stones onto the ground. After a moment, it regains enough mobility to tunnel away.
Congrats, you defeated a wild Onix! Shroomish gains +4 experience.
Chandra looked unimpressed. "Get in there and make a smokescreen, Charmander!" Soon, thick black smoke was mixing in with the sandstorm, obscuring almost the entire battle area.
"Heat up those rocks, try to make them explode!" Charmander was fast, spraying embers at Larvitar from several directions through the smoke while having moderate success at dodging some of the rocks being hurled at it.
"I don't think rocks work like that!" I shout back, but Larvitar is still getting hit with some hot rocks, which, while better than explosions, aren't great. Fortunately, Larvitar is pretty strong against things like hot rocks overall.
"Those embers are annoying, but they're like flares! Lunge toward the source and Bite down!"
OK, if this is how this is going to be... "Larvitar, return! Go, Numel! Shake the whole ground with a super-effective Magnitude! There's no dodging a tremor, Charmander!"
Even though it could not be seen, Chandra knew her Charmander was done. "Come on back, Charmander. Let's go Chimchar! Taunt it!" The Chimchar appeared and started to make all kinds of lewd gestures at Numel.
Numel shook the ground hard, and Chimchar almost lost its footing. "Scratch it! . . . . *sigh* this isn't looking good," Chandra said. Chimchar had regained enough stability to run in and try to scratch up Numel's back.
Numel takes a few scratches. It's not especially harmful, but it's worse than nothing. "Alright, Numel. Let's save your energy for the journey ahead. Come back! Go back out, Larvitar! Now that the smoke is clearing, send some rocks right at it with rock slide."
The horn attack sends Ekans flying, but it's not done yet. Come here, Ekans, let me give you a Potion. Now try another glare, now that you have its attention already!
Ekans takes a few lashes and is visibly worse for wear. "Uh oh! Keep a wrap on it for just a little longer. Hopefully we've done enough with the paralysis to make this work!"
I reach into my bag and throw a pokéball!
If capture = true: Woohoo!
If capture = false: "Alright, let's bring out the reliever. Come back, Ekans! Go, Charmander!"
The pokeball sailed through the air and hit Heracross, trapping it inside.
It settled to the ground, wiggling back and forth once . . .
twice . . .
. . . and with a snap, the pokeball burst open again.
Heracross didn't appear impressed, and slashed at Charmander with its horn cloaked in an aura that appeared dark as the night itself. (Night Slash)
OOC: Sorry, for captures I'm unsure adequate battling has happened, I flip a coin. Unfortunately, this time it came up incorrect. Not all hope is lost, though, you should be able to wear it down ^^
Charmander takes the Slash, but manages to get back up, still with a good amount of strength. It instictively launches an ember back. "Not too hard, Charmander! We want a friend in this one!"
"It's OK, Shroomish! Release your Stun Spores! That'll stop it!"

Among other things, I battle!
Go, Larvitar! Start up a sandstorm.
"Those embers are annoying, but they're like flares! Lunge toward the source and Bite down!"
"Don't worry about its taunts, Numel. In fact, yeah, get a little angry and show it how powerful you can be with another Magnitude!"
Congrats, you beat Kindler Chandra! You receive $150, Larvitar and Numel both gain +4 experience.
Alright. Let's try this one a little more strategically from the get-go. Ekans, slither out and try to paralyze it with your Glare!
