Shadow didn't even bother looking at her, throwing an arm out to block her from drawing nearer. "If you want to live, you won't move another step. This is my battle."

The Geodude mustered up the strength to fight again, and rushed to attack the Houndoom, though its attack had been severely weakened. Houndoom let out short grunts of pain, but nothing too serious. Shadow grinned, "Hmph. Houndoom, weaken it with Fire Spin!"

Houndoom howled in response before suddenly blasting out a tornado of fire, encircling Geodude within, successfully BURNing the Pokemon, despite the attack not being very effective.
