Murkrow winces at the Scary Face, the effect leveling his speed with that of the spider. It wouldn't last, however. Ash's stance is relaxed, with his arms crossed. He sees this battle as a learning opportunity for both trainer and Pokemon.

"Murkrow. Haze, then attack."

Murkrow nods and spreads his wings, a fog emanates from them and fills the battlefield, covering Spinarak's face, and eliminating any effect it had on Murkrow. Speed restored to normal, and as the fog clears, Murkrow launches forward through the mist and Pecks at the over-confident Bug-type. If the attack lands, Spinarak will take a heafty blow.
