Slick, seeing the cactus Pokemon, begins to quail a little. Beryl recalls him to his Poke Ball before the little Wooper dehydrates completely, then turns to Scout. "It's got a type advantage, but we've got training and experience on our side. Think you can take it?"
"Shrew!" Scout affirms, digging his claws into the ground.
"All right!" Beryl says. "Start with a Sand-Attack, catch it off guard!"
"Rapid Spin! Shake it off!" Scout began pirouetting toward Cacnea like a rotund ballerina. As he spun forward, he was gathering up centrifugal force to try to deflect the path of the seed.
With the seed appearing to have been diverted, Cacnea focused for a minute, and began to glow a brighter green than it had at the start of the battle. (Growth)
Scout recoiled from the sudden energy drain, and his spinning ground to a halt.
"Keep it going!" Beryl tried to rally her Pokemon. "It's no good trying to defend, as time goes on it'll have the advantage. Get in there and use Scratch as hard as you can!" Scout rushed at the Cacnea with claws extended, hoping to land an attack before it could recover from the impact of landing. (hp yellow)
Scout's scratch attack hit hard, rolling Cacnea backwards. The cactus pokemon stood upright again, and unleashed a barrage of poison stingers at the Sandshrew. It appeared to be a defensive reflex. (hp yellow)
Most of the stingers bounced off Scout's arms and hide, but a couple struck him painfully in the face. He winced and batted them away, then tried another Scratch, though he was disorientated for a short time after the attack.
The stratches strike again, but Cacnea stands its ground. Continuing the counterattack, it begins to wrap Scout in an energy-sapping aura. (hp red, Absorb)
"Hang in there, Scout!" Scout slumps to his knees and pants heavily as he is sapped again, while the green aura is slowly restoring the Cacnea's energy. "Now give it your best! Scratch attack!" Using one claw to prop himself back onto his feet, Scout winds his other claw back and swings in at Cacnea's face. (hp red)
The curled-up Sandshrew was launched into the air by the impact, and landed with a bounce. "Quick, Scout!" Beryl said. "Try to roll right over it while you can!" Scout executed a wide U-turn and accelerated toward the Digett.
Beryl quickly recalled her other Pokemon as the ground began to rumble. "Hold it together, Scout!" The Sandshrew curled up even tighter, helping him to mitigate the damage as he careened from side to side on the shifting ground. As the rumbling subsided, Scout continued to roll in a wide circle pattern, trying to gauge the foe's position again.
Scout rolled over the hole in the ground, but the Diglett had already disappeared underground by then. He slowed to a stop and uncurled himself.
Beryl was quickly growing to respect the power of Dig. "This isn't working," she muttered to herself. "Scout, return! And go, Cheeri!"
The little bear Pokemon appeared in a flash of light right next to the hole. "Cheeri, use your Sweet Scent," Beryl said. "Let's try to lure it to the surface."
Cheeri flew into the air and landed, hard, on his back. He leapt to his feet and burst into Fake Tears, while the sweet-honey scent still lingered in the air.
