((Takes places after excursions on the beach. All pokemon caught there will show up here, but not vice-versa, or however you spell that. XD))
Alex could see the headlines now- “Alex Sage’s charred remains were found inside the Power Plant. It seemed she had angered Zapdos, and was attacked. Her Cubone, Ramus, was found a few meters from her body, pecked to death.”
“Cu. Cuboin.”
Ramus prodded her leg with his bone cane- gently, of course- and waved his club in the air. All would be fine, his aura told her, you’ve got a Ground-Type pokemon! No worries for you!
Alex merely listened for the screeching for the electric/flying pokemon that was rumored to roost here. Electric types were a good thing. After she’d spent a bit on the beach, she’d decided to go here and try her luck on the electric types. Ramus had practically skipped half his way here- he’d stopped after he tripped over his own feet.
The type advantage was theirs, but electric types were known for speed. Cubone would have to think quickly to out-maneuver their attacks. Thankfully, he had a high defense due to his thick skull, so if he couldn’t avoid them, he could take most of the hits. However, she’d try to avoid the Electabuzz, if only because that creature was strong. She’d also make a quick escape if Zapdos came near.
Ramus, however, was oblivious to any danger. He felt as if no creature in this place could hurt him- so there was little point in worrying. He’d show Alex!

An Elekid appeared from a big hole in a nearby wall. It saw Ramus and narrowed its eyes. It shot out of the hole and landed somewhere near Ramus. The electric pokemon turned itself so it was pointed at the Cubone and used Quick Attack.

Ramus never saw it coming, while Alex did. She jumped back, startled, before crying out to her strutting pokemon:
“Ramus! Look out!”
Ramus looked over towards the approaching Elekid. He did the only thing he thought of doing- he ducked his head to take the blow.
*CRACK*
Being lighter-weighted, Ramus was knocked back and sent tumbling, but he rolled to his feet and swung his bone club (which he managed to keep) angrily. “Cu!”
Alex sighed, glad to see her starter wasn’t knocked out from the head-on collision. She smirked, pointing to the plug-shaped pokemon. “Quick, Ramus! Use Bone Club!”
“Cu!”
Ramus took off in the direction of the Elekid, readying a swing. When he got close enough, he swung.

The bone hit it right between its ... ears? (What ever they're called.) You could actually see steam coming from its ears. The Elekid quickly used Swift.

After carrying out the previous order given by Alex, Ramus stumbled over his own feet and rolled safely under the Swift attack, managing to get to his feet. He quickly (for a Cubone, anyway) started in a jog, swinging the bone club with two hands, trying to connect it with anything soft, yellow, and had a plug-shaped head.
“Cuuuu-BONE!”
Alex kept a safe distance back, taking a backseat to Ramus’s crazy swing-a-thon- not much more for a trainer to do till the opponent fell…

Luckily, the Elekid wasn't anywhere near the bone. It jumped up into the air and erupted into another Swift.

Ramus was quite frustrated that his attack hadn’t landed, and stomped his foot at the yellow pokemon, growling at it. However, he quickly scurried out of the way of the Swift attack. Once the danger passed, he came out swinging again, only to abruptly stopped the swinging and launch into a tackle towards the Elekid.

The bone knocked the pokemon into a nearby wall. As the small pokemon sailed toward him, he rolled over. So now the ground pokemon would hit the wall.

“Cu?”
*THWONK*
As always, he hit head-first, so the skull helmet took most of the damage. After sliding to the ground and getting shakily to his feet, he scanned the area. Once he spotted the Elekid, he was about to run over to attack it, when-
“Wait!”
Ramus jerked, and tripped over air, he glared over at Alex, who was holding one hand up, leaning on her walking stick with the other. “Wait, just wait. He keeps dodging. Counterattack his attacks. Don’t go to him. Let him come to you!”
Ramus was about to ignore her when he thought about it, his bone club dropping slightly. Could that actually… work? Willing to try it (for now), the Cubone, spread his legs and put his body into a defensive position, growling at the electric type as his stumpy tail jerked around.

The Elekid grinned. Using its quick attack, it ran at full speed but just as it was but a few feet from the cubone, it disappeared. Then reappeared behind the cubone. The Elekid had been going so fast that it was able to circle the opponent in a blink of an eye.

Ramus was startled by his opponent’s disappearing act, and was totally off guard for the behind attack. Ramus skidded along the ground a few inches before jumping to his feet, a little more slowly this time that before. Alex crouched onto the floor, removing her backpack. She lifted the yellow egg from inside it, and dug around for a Potion. If this battle kept up like this, he’d need it!
The Cubone eyed his opponent warily, growling low in his throat. He grunted, not sure where to go from there. If he moved, he’s get dodged and counter attacked. If he didn’t then he’d be attacked from behind! He was walled in on all si-
Wait. There it was. Ramus returned to his defensive position, Bone Club ready in his hand. His eyes locked onto the Elekid, waiting…

The elekid grinned again. Using another quick attack, the pokemon went charging at the cubone. At first it seemed to be going in a straight direction, then it was behind the cubone then it was at the cubone's left side before it actually attacked the opponent.

The Elekid charged, but Ramus waited… waited… waited…
There!
When the Elekid winked out of sight, the Cubone whipped around, swinging the bone club around in a circle, sure he’d hit anything that close to him.

The Elekid grunted as the heavy bone hit him right on his right cheek. Angered it let out a Swift attack which was stronger than normal.

“Ramus, look out!”
Seeing as how they were close range (I assume) the Cubone had little choice but to take the attack. Already weakened, he stumbled back, tripping over his own feet and landing near Alex’s. He grunted, getting to a sitting position and panting.
“Hold on!”
Alex chucked a pokeball at the Elekid, if only to buy them a little time. She didn’t watch it land, but instead when directly to Ramus, hobbling forward and dropping down, wincing as a sharp pain raced up her legs. She sprayed the Potion in her hand on the Cubone, and already the little pokemon seemed revitalized.
“Are you okay?”
“Cu!”
Alex pushed herself to her feet and Ramus jumped to his. They both looked over at where the Elekid had last stood, and where Alex’s pokeball had landed…
