Send out Ace to battle her

"Ace, let's take her down!" You called out, and Ace leaped from your shoulder. {if May Travel==1}Beside you, May called out her torchic, Scorch.

The woman scoffed. "You think those little pokemon are going to stop me?"

"Yeah." May said. "We do, actually."{else}

The woman scoffed. "You think that little sapling is going to stop me?"

You gave a firm nod. "Yes. He will. And then you'll regret insulting him."{endif}

The woman grabbed a pokeball and threw it, sending out a carvanha. It flopped a bit on the grass.{if May Travel==1}

May leaned closer to you and stage whispered "Do you think she knows there's no water here?"

"I don't think we should tell him." You replied. "He might get upset."

A vein throbbed on the woman's forehead. "I can hear you!" She yelled. "It doesn't matter if there's no water here, I don't need it to deal with small fry like you! Carvanha, Aqua Jet that Torchic!"{else} "Carvanha, use Aqua Jet!"{endif}

The fish pokemon suddenly surged forwards in a burst of water, and the battle was on.

Author's Note: If you have May traveling with you, her joke is borrowed from the excellent SFW fanfic Hyphen. https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/hyphen-pokemon-emerald.9539/
