The Doduo that stepped up to block their path was a problem. Hinata had fainted, Sakura was still wound up from the last fight, and Kaisei's other Pokemon were too weak to defeat it in a straight competition of strength. Luckily, Kaisei had an ace up his sleeve.

"You're up, Saber!"
[break][break]
The Absol emerged in a brilliant flash of light, sizing up the foe, who wasted no time nailing her with a Quick Attack on the chin. Saber growled, swinging her horn menacingly, scraping her foot against the ground, waiting for the order to charge in and--
[break][break]
"Perish Song."
[break][break]
Saber blinked in surprise, but she nevertheless obeyed the command, and began to sing a mournful requiem, both for herself and her opponent. Undeterred, the Doduo lashed out with a Fury Attack. Saber stiffened her body and readied herself to receive the attack--
[break][break]
"Detect."
[break][break]
--but again, at the last second, she decided to get out of the way. Just in time. The Doduo stumbled over its own feet before turning around to attack again. Having predicted the Quick Attack, Saber was ready with a Feint of her own, and the two Pokemon traded blows, the Absol dodging the foe's Rage with another perfectly timed Detection. The song was running out, and both combatants were soon to fall when--
[break][break]
"Return."
[break][break]
A look of shock appeared on Saber's face an instant before she was returned to her Pokeball, and Sakura was "sent out" to take her place. The Doduo, for its part, made no move to attack, but simply slumped over onto the ground unconscious, the song having drained its will to fight.
[break][break]
Kaisei flashed a smirk as he continued on his way past the fallen bird. A short while later, Saber's Pokeball glowed and burst open, the Absol's face contorted into a snarl.
[break][break]
"What?" Kaisei said, with no emotion.
[break][break]
She spat on him.
[break][break]
He nonchalantly wiped it away. "I know you wanted to use your best move, Saber, and I don't care. It wasn't the right strategy. You want to get stronger, don't you? Then you'll understand that sometimes the so-called *right thing* to do isn't to use the move with highest power, but the one they have no effective defense against. It's a perfectly fair way to fight, and if we're going to stick together, I'd like us to get used to practicing it more in the future."
[break][break]
Saber looked between Kaisei, with that insufferable inscrutable expression on his face, and Sakura, who seemed pleased with how things went, all told. She let out a huff, and pressed the button on her Pokeball, a red beam of light sucking her back in, before the remaining Pokemon and trainer continued down the road.
[break][break]
Party: Charmander (Haru, Lv7, 3/5 Energy), Absol (Saber, Lv5>Lv7, 4/5 Energy), Swirlix (Sakura, Lv11, 3/5 Energy), Zangoose (Daigo, Lv1, 5/5 Energy), Cherubi (Hinata, Lv11, KO), Tyrogue (Hayato, Lv6, 2/5 Energy)
[break][break]
Notes: 452 WC[break]
Using Swirlix's Sweet Veil ability - raises the chance of finding a Male Pokemon to 75%.[break]
"Tl;dr: It's a legitimate strategy" --Kerrytugu, probably
