(My guess is they spin so fast that their nose becomes a weapon...)
Azu tried to dodge the attack, and succeeded... Sort of. She wound up tripping backwards and got a slight scratch on her stomach and fell over. Again. Azu got back onto her feet and looked a little shaky.
"Azu, tackle that thing from above, ram it into the water!" commanded Law.
Azu jumped up onto the rubble from the first attack and bounced from there high into the air. She then dove straight for Tel.
(She is an aqua RABBIT, insinuating good jumping ability.)

((And they have good defenses, meaning they're heavy...))
Tel, who had been using forward momentum to make the scratching attack harder, lost his balance as his force of movement suddenly went backwards. He gave a muffled yelp as he tumbled down a tunnel, falling straight into a pool of muddy water. He gasped, and furiously tore at the soft ground, pushing himself back up to a drier area.
By the time he reached the top, he was worn out, out of breath, and a little woozy. So when Matthew ordered up another Magnitude, he didn't even bother going underneath the ground...and so the Magnitude 5's power got halved, making it more like a Magnitude 2.5.

Azu landed on the ground just as the Magnitude had started. She lost her balance and fell backward just as the top of a mostly broken stalagmite fell on her.
"<OW!>" she shouted as the rock hit her square in the face. She got back on her feet and stumbled a bit.
"Azu, come here!" shouted Law.
Azu ran toward Lawrance, who used another Potion on her. She then ran back into the battlefeild, feeling somewhat refreshed, but still out of breath and in pain.
(Two down...)

Tel breathed heavily, trying to focus on hitting Azu. He released another weak Magnitude, this time a Magnitude 2 (it had been 4, but it got halved because he couldn't go underground).
Matthew just grabbed Roh's Pokeball in preperation. If Azu used Water Gun - especially if she figured out that going to the loamy soil on the side would keep her away from falling rocks - Tel would go down easily.

Azu looked for any possible way to get away from the rocks and noticed the soil on the side. She ran as quick as her stubby legs could take her and... Tripped. She almost completely avoided the last falling rock, but then again, almost doesn't mean anything. She was smacked in the stomach by the rock. "<Now the Diglett goes down.>" she said as she stood up.
"One more Water Gun!" commanded Law.
The rabbit fired off yet another gush of water.

((Mrr...^_^ It's been ten posts, and azumarill are pretty good Pokeymanz...))
This time, the water hit the tired mole head-on, and he fell backwards, shocked by the super-effective attack...
And splashed right into a pool of water. He struggled a bit, but then the water's damage overtook him, and he slipped into unconsciousness.
Luckily for Matthew, he happened to be in an easy place to get him into his Pokeball, so he didn't have to really suspend the match and run out there to save him. He simply returned Tel to his Pokeball, then sent out his final Pokemon without another word.
A fierce-looking rhyhorn lunged onto the field, making the floor shake with her weight. She roared, pawed the ground...then giggled.
"<Matt! Was that fierce?>" she asked behind her, laughing.
Matthew rolled his eyes. "Sure...now Horn Attack."
"<'Kay,>" Roh chirped as she eyed her opponent. "<Sorry 'bout this, but hey, gym battles are tough!>" With that, she ran forward, bowed her head, and prepared to ram her horn into Azu's stomach.
((Remember: azumarill have REALLY REALLY GOOD defenses - they can take a hit against a flat surface (like a boulder), but I dunno if getting punctured by a horn will be okay. They're also faster, smaller, and generally more maneuverable than a rhyhorn...why not focus on dodging the brunt of Roh's attacks, then Water Gun-ing her?))

Azu was between a rock and a charging pointy beast. She simply ducked under Roh's attack and escaped with a scratch on her head, but nothing major.
"Azu, Water Gun!" commanded Law.
Azu rolled under the Rhyhorn and blasted a stream of water at her stomach.

The "charging pointy beast" didn't have enough time to turn around and dodge the water, so she just tried to wait it out. Luckily, a boulder happened to catch most of it, so the damage was minimized. She then, assuming it would be Matthew's order, ran forward for another Horn Attack.
((That and I'm lazy. -_-))

Azu jumped above the attack, only to land on the jagged hide of the Rhyhorn and take a bit more damage that a Horn Attack would do.
"Azu, Water Gun!" shouted Law.
Azu jumped onto the Rhyhorn's face and shot a Water Gun into her eyes.

Roh was not quick enough to move away, so the attack did a hefty bit of damage, she roared, and managed to throw off her attacker, and dashed away back over to Matt.
"Change tactics - Fury Attack!" He ordered while thinking of a way to make his attacks more long-range.
"<...O...kay...>" Roh panted before pausing to catch her breath. Then she dashed forward, jutting her horn out repeatedly. It would hit 4 times...

Azu was doing her best to dodge them. The first missed her, the next gave her a scratch, followed by a second scratch, and a third. The last one hit her head on and knocked her back. She managed to get up, but she was breathing heavilly and almost unable to stand.
"Water Gun!" commanded Law.
"<Wish I knew more Water-type attacks...>" muttered Azu before she shot yet another gush of water toward the Rhyhorn.

This time, Roh was able to dash away a bit, minimizing the damage caused by the Water Gun. It still really hurt, though, and her side was dripping.
Matt paused for a moment. "Tail Whip. I want your attacks to do more damage."
"<Okay!>" Roh giggled, then began swinging her stubby tail back and forth in order to get Azu's defenses down a bit.

For a short while, Azu was mesmerized by the swinging of the tail. She shook herself out of it, though. "<Why do I suddenly feel weaker? HOW DOES WAGGING A TAIL DO THAT!?>" she screamed.
"No time to question, more Water Gun!" commanded Law.
"<You're the boss.>" said Azu. She sent yet another stream of water at the Rhyhorn.

The rhyhorn jumped away, though her side caught a bunch of water again...and it really hur.
"Another Tail Whip." It was the only long-range attack she knew, and if he could minimize the time spent in the short-range zone...
So she waggled her tail again in a threatening manner.
((So, what do you know about ranges?))

(I know that if it's too far the attack fails.)
Azu felt even weaker, and was still confused as to how Tail Whip actually worked...
"Another Water Gun!" shouted Law.
Azu ran up to Roh, jumped onto it's face and blasted it with water, hoping to at least blur its vision some.

((What about short-range? What have you learned about Rhyhorn at short-range?))
Roh managed to duck, and the water sprayed her back...but it really hurt. So she decided to jab her horn out in a mad Horn Attack. Too bad she aimed a bit too far to the left...

((You can't say where the attack hits. Roh ducked her head, but her back was still open. So that's where the water hit...))

(Question: How do you duck an attack when the attacker is on you? ._o)

((Cuz she wasn't on her. She was jumping TOWARD the face of the rhyhorn. You can't say where the attack hits!))
