"Not the best idea, the tempo would be wrong since Onix is faster than Steelix, and Onix can muscle through fire which Steelix can't," heart in the right place, but Steel types have this thing about ruining strategies. It cost her a perfect run on Bugsy. "Also I'm way overleveled compared to most of your teams."

Imogen considers a good plan over type advantage. Most of the time, that would be the way to go. Bugsy's team was easily exploited by how powerful Aglon was, and Whitney's defeat came from her ability to work a complicated control over Whitney's two stars. "Types do factor in, because types have strategies they like. Strengths to play toward. Speed will be in my favor but... unless I pick correctly that speed won't help me dent their armor."

"You would know about armor being effective, right?"

"Weirdly enough being Iron Man who is a me in an armored suit, it tends prove I know a thing or two about it. Also means I know a thing or two about weak spots and tensile strength."

Tony couldn't stop himself from giving her a withering look. Because really, if there's one thing Tony Stark knows about it's steel, even if it wasn't for the Iron Man armour he would still know from his degrees in Engineering and working on cars. If there's a metal, Tony knows about it and how to break it.

"And practicing against something faster than their pokemon would only help, a 0.9 caliber bullet can still make it halfway into a truck engine, and it's not overly bit, just fast."

Imogen eyed him a moment, trying to decide to share a bit of her battle strategy. "I take on all my battles like a dance, it's part of why I use an ocarina to give orders. I can match my tempo to the battle, it makes it easier for my Pokemon to evade and aim. And it adds to the mystery and makes it so my opponent can't know what I'm doing."

While faster opponents, generally, made for a better training. There was something to be said for precise timing on all things. She would rather know ahead of time how a Steelix moves, instead of having to adjust mid fight. He knew metal, she was getting pretty good at this Pokemon stuff. But... he did know a thing or two about metal, she had to give him that. Maybe she should use that.

"If you say so... but none of my Pokemon are very bullet-like. And I don't like the idea of some of my Pokemon fighting when taking any hit from Jasmine's Steelix might take them out instantly." Steelix was big and slow, but it could hit very hard, and Earthquake wasn't a move that needed much aiming. It was pretty much the part of the equation she had to think the hardest on, like Whitney's Miltank. "How would you try to take out a Gym Leader's galvanized conga line?"

"It's got joints. I'd heat them to melting point. Kind of hard to fight when you're fused together."

Tony shrugs, he's never really been one to plan fights ahead. At best he plans his moves leading up to a fight, then just wings the fight itself. It's always worked so he doesn't feel the need to fix that.

[for_realsies]

Have a horrified look from Imogen, given Steelix is a living thing fusing it's joints together seems a bit more cruel than she would be going for. Effective yes, and if she were facing Team Rocket she might go for it, but this isn't that sort of fight.

"...Maybe I should give this more thought."

[arrogantalloy]

"Come on, don't give me that look. The Pokécentre can handle anything we could possibly have them do to each other. This isn't some garden snake who's back will break if you step on it. Physics says that most of what they do is impossible. So I'm going with and extreme immobility is going to be easily fixed."

Let's face it, Tony's still and engineer and scientist over understanding how Pokémon really work. Silly man.

"It might break more laws of physics than an action film, it doesn't mean it's magic. Pokes can be left with permanent damage," Imogen did understand how, as this world was impossible, that it was easy to mistake it for properly magical. Whatever this world was, it had limits she didn't want to press if she could avoid them.

"And I doubt anyone local would think of doing that in a battle. Most of the non-gym trainers are pretty basic in their battling," It kinda bothered her, made her almost feel her tricks could be cheating. "Announcing attacks openly? Who thought that was a good idea?"

[arrogantalloy]

"Magic? Who said anything about magic? Well at least the plus side of it being something like an animal is that it will at least try to not let me weld them in place. Funny how sentient life forms are like that, so really. Permanent damage probably isn't an issue here."

Tony was never one to think magic existed outside Las Vegas and carnivals. So really he's not going to start believing in magic while here.As for everything else, really it's all about stratergy.

"Well when everyone else is being basic, the best way to win is to be creative as hell. And hey, it works in the military, and for sheepdogs. They calling out attacks things."

[for_realsies]

"Well, significantly nonsensical science is pretty close to magic," She wasn't sure advanced was the right word, so she improved the theory for the situation. She was still a bit unsure, but he did have a point on self-preservation. At the same time, she'd seen enough Pokemon with lasting scars she was hesitant.

"Well creative I can definitely do!" She dance-wiggled a bit to accentuate she was pretty much walking creativity. She still didn't see how calling commands out worked in this example, the military usually had distance and numbers... while sheep didn't normally speak English. "I've figured out things for the other gyms. I can do this one."

[arrogantalloy]

"Yeah, no. It's just science we haven't gotten our head around yet." Tony will always be a man of science and avoid the word magic unless it's about the taste of food or in a romantic sense there.

He raises his eyebrows at her dance wiggle.

"And now you're in a pop video now, look at that." He only half mumbles.

"Well, hey, as long as you've got a plan in motion and win, I'm all in support there."
