Instead of calling out an attack, Mina’s opponent immediately recalls their electric type and sends out a bellsprout.

I'll search till about 11 before turning in for the night. I'll let Pinklady decide for herself what she wants to do.

Mina:
Sandshrew uses Sand Tomb!
Bellsprout is hit for 11 damage!
Bellsprout is trapped in the vortex!
Bellsprout loses 4 HP!
Natu: 54/71 (recalled)
Sandshrew: 76/76
Baltoy: 0/71
Electrike: 71/71 (recalled)
Bellsprout: 61/76 (trapped)
Well, that was disappointing. Keeping a Ground type out against a Grass type seemed unwise, so Mina recalled Sandshrew in favor of sending Natu back out.
----------------
Matt and Pinklady:
((Good rolls here! I’m going to run these in parallel in the interest of speed. I’m also going to be assuming you two hit the Pokémon Center between encounters, so don’t worry about any of your ‘mon being KO’d if you use them for more than one fight in a row. That said, don’t go crazy or try to make time paradoxes on purpose.  ))
After about an hour of searching, you notice a dim shape flying overhead that the Pokédex identifies as a Noctowl.
Some twenty minutes later Matt hears Murkrow squawking and hears the grumble of angry Rhyhorn.
About a half-hour after that, Pinklady literally trips over a pit in the ground, from which emerges an irritated Trapinch.
A little less than an hour later, the pair of you cross paths with a small herd of antelope-like Twiggin.
Forty minutes more, and what seems to be a Cosmas sing-off drifts to your ears on the wind.
The next hour brings encounters with, in quick succession, a small pride of Shinx and its evolutions and then a pair of Fearow guarding a lone tree. The former are sleeping, the latter mantle threateningly as you approach; there’s something bulky in the tree with them you can’t make out.
Some time after that you come across a long path of flattened grassland, including tracks the Pokédex informs you are more Rhyhorn.
About an hour after that a couple of Rattata skitter past your feet, before disappearing into the grass.
Pinklady nearly steps on what at first glance is a log, but which lets out a long hiss.
As you are starting to consider winding down the search and turning in for the night, you both hear a buzzing sound like a swarm of flies.
Finally around 11 PM, you stumble across an abandoned campsite in which you hear something digging around in the sad remainder of the collapsed tent.
((You can also skip some of these if you’re not interested in the Pokémon involved.))

Mina’s opponent apparently expected her to switch, because they called for their Bellsprout to use poison powder, followed by Vine whip on the turn after the switch.

To be fair, Mina’s opponent seems to be equally irritated by just how hard that night shade keeps hitting again and again, and since the sand tomb is keeping them trapped in here… well, they call for their bellsprout to use another vine whip, but it’s clear they aren’t expecting much from it.

(OH jeeze, the pressure of not goofing up are real! Ok, big breathe, I got this... Here we go!)
As the shadow of what's identified as a Noctowl flies overhead, I point it out to Pinklady and say, "Hey there would be an evolved flying type, should be pretty strong, if you want it I can help you catch it maybe?"
Pinklady "Oh no thank you!"
Twenty minutes goes by in a flash and the squawking of Murkrows and the sound of rocks clattering together angrily drove me to cautiously lead Pinklady in a different direction.
"Something sounds really angry over there and I believe that is where we do NOT want to be."
When Pinklady stumbles and nearly falls on her face, I instinctively catch her by the arm to stop her from falling completely.
"Oh goodness becareful! What on earth did you trip ove....Holy moly what the heck is THAT thing!?" I can't help yell excitedly asking the pokedex in my free hand.
As the machine reveals it's a Trapinch I send out Poliwhirl and Gastly to subdue it.
"Sorry to wake you Trapinch, I don't suppose you'd want to join my little party willingly would you? Ah I thought as much. Alright you two, Hypnosis Poliwhirl, Gastly Lick."
(OoC~ Should I keep going? Like I don't want to cause any time paraboxes.)_

Mina:
Mina was very glad now she’d been pumping Natu’s Speed so much. She called for him to laser the Grass type down with another Nightshade.
Natu uses Nightshade!
Bellsprout is hit for 29 damage!
Bellsprout faints!
Natu takes 8 damage from poison!
Since she knew what the last Pokémon was going to be now, Mina used her switch to send out Sandshrew and called for another Sand Tomb.
Natu: 20/71 (Poisoned, recalled)
Sandshrew: 76/76
Baltoy: 0/71
Electrike: 71/71 (recalled)
Bellsprout: 0/76

Matt and Pinklady:
((Please don’t put words in the other PCs’ mouths.))
There is a sound of crumbling rock underfoot and short walls pop up around the battling Pokémon.
Poli uses Hypnosis!
Trapinch fell asleep!
Gastly uses Lick!
Trapinch is hit for 10 damage!
Trapinch sleeps!
Poli: 100/100
Gastly: 67/67
Trapinch: 55/65 (Asleep 1 round)

Knowing that the chance for a flinch was their only chance to win, her opponent will call for another bite and keep calling for it. ((Biting until one of them wins.))

That had actually been closer than Mina liked, and while the lift took her to her next match she made a note to find Sandshrew a better Ground move. The trapping effect was useful, but not useful enough to make up for the lack of damage.
Natu: 20/71 (Poisoned, recalled)
Sandshrew: 34/76
Baltoy: 0/71
Electrike: 0/71
Bellsprout: 0/76
Mina opted to have her Pokémon healed – she was pretty sure she wasn’t going to be getting any points for speed regardless, and after that match she effectively only had half her team.
((Last match!))
Her final opponent was dressed in dark, dreary colors, and looked like they hadn’t seen the sun in quite some time – quite the feat in tropical Helnith!
((Pokémon in the OoC thread!))

Mina frowned as she didn’t really have any good options against an Ice type, and finally sent out Oodramer. As usual not wanting to Shadow the opposing Pokémon during a friendly match, she called for Bubblebeam.

With those defenses lowered, the other trainer goes on the offensive and calls for a Quick Attack.

Weirdly, it seems like the other trainer thought that Mina would keep her puddle pokemon out there, as they called for another Quick Attack instead of pursuit. Or maybe they just don’t have that move available. Either way, they shrug and the turn after Mina’s sandshrew is sent out the sneasel uses Faint attack instead.
