I thought about the angry, protective mom aspect, but decided that the angry, protective dad aspect coupled with Senkou's more impulsive attitude and greater speed canceled it out. And as for electricity being more difficult to aim, Shock Wave never misses, and Water doesn't have an equivalent never miss move, so I'm not sure about that. If he was really worried about hitting them, he gets Quick Attack as well, and he's a professional level Pokemon, I'm sure he's got options. Only having Electric moves would be foolish.Eve got there first because she started chasing after Vee when she noticed he'd run off ahead again, and she used quick attack. Uzu-chan got the next move in because she was an angry, protective mom. Senkou held off because electricity is harder to aim than water or direct physical contact and with Eve and Vee in very close proximity to the machop he might've accidentally grazed them.
Well, I do want to see Caught in the Whirlpool wrap up, but seeing what the other characters have been up to would be really interesting too. What a conundrum.I have a rough list of ideas...but without a huge burst of inspiration, I'm sticking to hacking away at Caught in the Whirlpool until I finish that before contemplating work on other things.
