C. A hardheaded brute? This is a job for Bruno!

You're not licked yet! You still have your strongest..... Well... you still have Bruno anyway.

You throw your pokeball and Bruno appears in the arena. For the first time you've ever seen him not drunk or hungover. He is flabbergasted by the sight of the crowd and after a few moments of dumbfounded gawping, he starts adopting ridiclous poses and doing handstands and cartwheels. Which might be impressive if he could do any of them consistently. But his lack of practice and belly make that impossible. The Rhydon is getting increasing annoyed that its audience is being stolen.

Bruno: "Whaaarrrgh! ahahahaha! AGggh! Bwahha! Yes! It is I! Believe your eyes! What you're seeing is no trick! It really is me!"

Blaine: "Wait... No... It can't be! Bruno!?"

Bruno looks up and notices Blaine for the first time, then immedately facepalms and curses under his breath.

Bruno: "Uggggggh no... damn it... not now... not here... Not the In-laws."

Blaine: "NO! No! NO NONO! I am NOT your father-in-law! Not anymore! Dumping your worthless drunk hide was about the only smart thing my daughter actually did in her entire life."

Bruno tries to act unscathed but is clearly twitching in hurt and anger.

Bruno: "Big talk coming from some elderly loser gym leader on a backwater island. At least I made it to the Elite Four! At least I did something with my life! Tell me how much of the world did you ever travel!? Huh!? When is your protg gonna take over your gym so you can advance to the next level? I gave mine to my nephew when I was young because I joined the Elite Four. You can't even let go of your neverwas glorydays! All you could ever do was impress some hicks!"

The crowd go from mild confusion to loud booing. They did not like that. Blaine senses an oppotunity and turns to the crowd.

Blaine: "Hey everyone! This is Bruno! You probably don't rememer him. He's a former 'Elite Four' member who lost in a cleansweep to an 11 year old! Then was kicked out in disgrace and became the world's least funny drunken fool! Now he's serving an ugly Magikarp! I think that's a fitting position for him."

The entire crowd point and laugh at Bruno.

Blaine: "Hey! Cinnabar Island? What do you all think of Bruno? Let's hear it!"

A loud mixture of boos and "Bruno Sucks!" chant breakout among Blaine's many fans. Bruno takes the bait and turns his back on Blaine.

Bruno: "Oh yeah! Well shadup! You're all pe-"

Blam!

The Rhydon clocks Bruno in the back of the head with a haymaker while he was distracted. Bruno crashes face first into the floor. The Rhydon bends down and drills Bruno through the back of his left leg with its horn, making Bruno scream out in pain as the horn rips into him.

The Rhydon stands back up, dangling upsidedown Bruno from its horn in front of the mocking crowd and parading him about like a cat toy. Bruno squeals as the Rhydon struts back and forth in front of the crowd showing off as they cheer.

This is not going well.

What do you do:

A. Be supportive. Come on Bruno. I got faith in you.
B. Be enraging. Bruno needs to get angry to stand a chance. Not full of self-pity.
C. Try to turn the crowd against Blaine.
D. Nah he's useless. Get in there Trainer!(injured)
E. Nah he's usless. I got this with my Splash.
F. That Rhydon is unstoppable. I give up.
