One Step At a Time, -first step-

Silver let out a swift snort, happy to finally be battling something. Just as Baltoy was beginning to regain its mental balance, a waft of warm breath washed over it. The accompanying sound of gasping for air made it teeter to the side; looks like that Yawn was quite effective. Instinctively, this Baltoy used Harden, increasing its defenses in response. So far, it seemed to be fighting the drowsiness it felt, but that wouldn't last for long.

Baltoy: Normal, +1 Defense, Drowsy
Silver: Normal

"That worked... alright then, use Howl to boost up your attack, then wait for it to fall asleep before going in with a Tackle," Klaus said. He didn't want to start attacking it while it was still awake... that would be mean. Yeah... Klaus's views on morality were a bit, er, odd.

Silver rolled his eyes as he tossed his head back, howling to the skies and raising his attack power. He then waited as Baltoy prepared to retaliate; it whizzed over and smacked Silver with a Rapid Spin, dealing some good damage! The Poochyena shook the hit as he waited impatiently for his opponent to fall asleep, wanting to dash in and Tackle it immediately but realizing that obeying your orders what was he needed to do at the moment. The humming noise of Baltoy's hovering faded as it floated gently to the ground, signaling that it was finally taking its nap! Glad that the wait was over, Silver pounded into the sleeping form with a Tackle, dealing some good damage.

Baltoy: A little less than Almost Weakened, +1 Defense, Asleep
Silver: Less than Almost Weakened, +1 Attack

"Alright! Howl and Tackle again, and see if you can knock it into those rocks when you tackle it to do extra damage," Klaus said. Now that it was asleep, he needed to hit hard and fast before it woke up. He watched, hoping that the extra raised attack on all the turns Baltoy was asleep would make up for the Baltoy's naturally higher defense.
