[Excellent. That's done quite a bit of damage from what he can see. Archer smirks, satisfied. Another attack like that should do the trick, shouldn't it? The same tactic won't work twice, however. He'll have to come up with something else. That Volt Tackle did a lot of damage - Tabiya is better suited for Special Attacks, however. So... it's weak to electricity. A Water and Ice-type, perhaps? Either way, Grass and Electric moves are going to be very useful here.]
[There's some kind of horrid shriek from Abdiel and Archer winces - it's closer than he thought it would be. Alekhine must have teleported them closer to Kimblee. Archer nods to Kimblee as he approaches.]
Kimblee.
[There's a distinctive note of relief in his voice, but Archer ignores it for now. They're in the middle of something much more important - Kimblee had better not call him out on that. He returns Maróczy; the Gust attack was more than the Houndoom could take. He's down to four, but he's not worried. Lucena is still flying overhead, Crobat is battered but still conscious, Alekhine is fine, and Tabiya is... Oh goddammit, where did that Raichu go?]
[Tabiya comes rushing back, bouncing from one foot to the other. From the nearly demonic expression, it's quite clear that he's having fun.]
Good work. Switch to Thunderbolt - look out for Lucena and Abdiel.
[Tabiya darts off immediately. Crobat returns to rest wearily on Archer's shoulders and he dismisses Alekhine.]
Energy Ball. Focus on staying alive rather than attacking. Teleport any weakened Pokémon out of the way.
[That leaves Lucena who swoops higher up in the sky. Archer's orders are relayed to her through Alekhine - Sky Attack. It's Lucena's most powerful move, and if that connects it will hopefully do a lot of damage.]
What Pokémon do you have left? We're almost there.
[That's directed at Kimblee, of course. They're so close. If they can capture this Pokémon and hand it over to Team Rocket then they'll certainly get a promotion.]
[...Of course, that's implying that they'd part with the Pokémon.]
