"Alright pipsqueaks! If it's a fight you want..."
Pat pitched Charmander's Pokeball at the Nidoran Girl, and the little tattle-tale meekly sent out her own battler, Nidoran. In her cute getup, Trainer and Pokemon made a matching pair, but Pat felt too hurt, too betrayed to acknowledge it.
"Poke-thief! Poke-thief!" Either she was taunting Pat or calling for help.
Either way, I'm gonna have to make this quick.
"Killer! Get 'em!"
The Charmander charged at the Nidoran, snapping at the air, but its opponent threw dirt in its face and dodged out of the way. Finally, the Charmander's sharp teeth found their target in the Pokemon's side, but Nidoran used it's own big, cutting teeth to bite back, forcing Killer to open his jaws and shriek in pain.

"Nidoran, come back!"
"What's the matter, twerp? I beatcha already?"
"Aaaaannnd... Other Nidoran, Go!!"
This Pokemon was bigger, with thick angry limbs and a big ugly face. Charmander, already wounded, shot gouts of fire from its mouth, trying to intimidate its opponent. It didn't work: the Nidoran charged, its horn forward and a glow steadily brightening. When they collided, Charmander shot a gout of flame and tried to bite, but instead had the roof of its mouth gouged.
"Nidoran, Horn Attack!"

Charmander was thrown into the air by the force of the move, and landed dustily a few feet away.
Pat returned her Pokemon, growling, and grabbed her other unfrozen Pokeball, the one with Azurill. She took a second to look through the top of it: the Pokemon seemed to have been healed. It was sleeping in stasis as expected, and probably fully ready for battle.
Still, this was the first real wild Pokemon she'd really caught. Pat had imagined things going differently, taking some time to get to know a real cool Pokemon that she'd hand picked to catch. But even though this was just some mouse, she wanted to introduce herself to it with some ceremony. Maybe she could hold off while her teammate finished the big Nidoran off.
"Okay Slouch," Pat cried out to Luke, "Your foe's weak!" It was only then that she turned to see Luke congratulating his Poke-Fan opponent, who seemed to be trying to show him photos on her phone. Their Pokemon were draped over each other, K.O.'d just beside the path.
Pat slapped one hand into the other in a frustrated gesture. "Strategy, man!" she hissed at him.
With only one option left, the Rocket girl hurled her last functioning Pokeball. "Alright, enough kiddin' around!"
KYOOOOOSHH!?
Bewildered, the tiny Azurill rubbed its eyes and sniffled its nose at the air.
"'Zu?"
It turned to take stock of its surroundings, and as it did all could see the damage its earlier battle had done. Its round body bore jagged scars on the side where Charmander's fangs had bit and torn.
Azurill sniffled in Pat's direction, then did a 180-degree turn toward the grunting, snorting Nidoran, which opened its mouth even before its trainer found the confidence to command it.
"Nidoran, Poison Sting!"

Azurill blocked the hail of needles with its tail, but the force of them bowled it over into the grass at Pat's feet. She returned it to the ball wordlessly, then pulled her cap down to hide her eyes.
"Well... I don't need to beat you, anyway. I just gotta distract you long enough to book it outta here!"
And with that, Pat turned tail and took off running.
