(Unless you want to, or unless you want to do it jointly, I will control Twintao's attacks and reactions. Should you control Ingang's attacks and reactions? Or, if we are attacking different opponents, should each of us alternate and control whichever one the other is attacking?)

"Twintao! Use Psywave on the...potato thing!" Clearly, the brawny one had not memorized any lists of Pokémon species. However, the Twintao was still able to understand what his Trainer was talking about, and an multicolored, shimmering funnel undulated from his one white eye. Thrusting his arms back and jutting forward, he launched the funnel at the Rotato.

(Shimmering, not simmering.)
Guessing that Night Shade would not work---as they might simply counter it again---Steph decided to try a different tactic. "Sableye, use Scratch on Ingang!"
Sableye's claws glowed white, and he scampered over to Ingang, launching himself to attack his floating target.
"Why is everyone ganging up on Ingang?" Pittsworth muttered frustratedly to himself.
"Because they're scared of my Twintao!" the brawny one exclaimed, as if boasting. But, realizing talking just wasted time as their opponents' Pokémon drew closer, he quickly yelled: "Twintao! Protect Ingang and Triple Kick that potato!"

Sableye was caught in the tumble. He squawked as Twintao fell on him. Twintao rose, sitting on Sableye.
"Twintao! Psy---" but it was too late. The translucent beam touched Twintao. It convulsed, then stiffened, as if becoming solid, and appeared to affix itself to Twintao's arm. Glowing yellowish bubbles---Twintao's energy---traveled like blood cells in a vessel down the cord of gel. Too panicked to await a command from his Trainer, Twintao placed his hands on the cord-like beam and tried to wrest it off his shoulder as Sableye was ground into the linoleum.
"Sableye, use Night Shade to extricate yourself!" Steph was not even sure Sableye could hear her with Twintao crushing him.

Sableye clutched his head, groaning, as he tottered away from Twintao.
Steph was noticing a pattern: the only moves Ingang had used so far were Calm Mind and Psywave. It had not used any other attack. Was it limited in its moveset, like a cocoon Pokémon? In a moment's span, she followed this with her own conclusions and clarifications, until finally she exclaimed a command:
"Sableye! Guard Rotor and use Scratch!"
If Psywave and Triple Kick were the only moves Twintao knew, Twintao could not hurt Sableye. Ingang probably could not either. Why hadn't she thought of that earlier?
Sableye rubbed his aching head briefly and scampered over to Rotor.

The brawny member recalled Twintao. Pittsworth became more nervous with Ingang's bodyguard gone, and, by his silence, continued to let Ingang raise its defenses with Calm Mind.
"Sableye, wait until Rotor attacks, then guard Rotor with Night Shade," Steph told Sableye.

Rotor's Rapid Spin successfully hit Ingang. Ingang was floating shakily and twirling itself left and right. "Psywave! Just use Psywave!" Pittsworth yelled, with confidence unexpectedly rising.
He must have a new strategy, Steph figured.
Ingang spluttered many multicolored funnels from its white eye, some small, some large, and some nowhere near Rotor and Sableye. Sableye tried to dissipate the funnels that did come near them with rapid uses of Night Shade.

One more funnel was shot out from Ingang's eye. A pause grew out as the funnel faded and none came to replace it. Pittsworth shot his hand forward, pointing at Sableye with a Trainer's triumph, and exclaimed:
"Struggle!"
Grey bracket-shaped waves suddenly appeared at Ingang's sides. The grey waves shook as Ingang trembled, and a pale yellow diamond appeared in front of Sableye. It then passed through him (seemingly harmlessly) and shot towards Rotor, even as the green tentacle extended towards Ingang.

The pale yellow diamond sped in front of Ingang as it flew, still shaky, towards Rotor.
"Fly up and smash into Rotor with Struggle!" Pittsworth commanded.
Ingang floated higher, above Rotor's spot in the dirt, and the pale yellow star shifted up. At the apex of its height, Ingang fell, with the star rushing towards Rotor.
"Defend Rotor!" Steph commanded.
Sableye leaped above Rotor as Struggle fell.

(Poor-sighted? Foresighted is not what you would call a poor decision.)
Lepida coughed at the dust that flew out from the impact. She gave a stern look to the brawny member, indicating that he would have to remove the unusual amount of dust in the hall later.

Sableye whimpered as Ingang floated back up, the attack executed. Then Ingang's eyes flashed grey, and flickered like an overheated computer. Once more, Ingang fell onto Sableye---but now Ingang had fainted. Even using Calm Mind repeatedly would not prevent Struggle's recoil from coming into effect. Pittsworth, looking resigned, recalled Ingang. With the pressure removed, Sableye shifted, weakly fell off Rotor, and became still. Sableye turned to red light and was called back into his Poké Ball.

Steph heard an electronic clack and cascade----the sound of a Poké Ball being opened. "I hope we all have had fun," Lepida said, her Venomoth---green dust speckling its wings---by her side. She paused, rummaging mentally for a confident one-liner. Finding none, she cut to the chase. "Venomoth, Sleep Powder!"
