Mechanics:
That's a seriously fat cat for a supposedly easy fight. Got to play this one smart. Sophisticated, even.
Winston:
Initiative: 8
Order:
Evasion, circling the battlefield to use said log for cover and intentionally spooking the observing Rattata into making a run for it with Intimidate. Hopefully the distracting presence of a prey Pokemon in the vicinity plus partial cover will have at least some effect on the Meowth.
Let's follow this with an Ember.
Focus for this fight is staying fresh and evading damage. Any chip damage I can sneak in likewise is welcome, but not the current goal.
Evasion: Pool 4
Dexterity + Fight +Evasion - Multi Action Penalty (2)
Ember:
Accuracy: Pool 2
3 Dex + 3 Fight + 0 Channel - Multi Action Penalty (4)
Damage: Pool 2, Burn *1*
2 Special (Str) + 2 + STAB - 3 Target Vitality
Burn *1*

Vincent studies the fight with some concern. Whatever Chancey has been feeding that cat is impressive, and there's some wonder how far he's progressed as a trainer.
It might not have been a good idea to pick a fight so early on in his career. Then again. You win some, you lose some.
Time to even these odds. Unlike that Meowth, Winston might not be built like a brick outhouse, but he was fast. Time to play that advantage.
"Winston. Duck and cover!" He gestures to the log as the growlithe instinctively followed it's trainers commands, darting around the field and playing up the gap between it and the Meowth before bounding over the log in a graceful leap.
Winston gives a sharp bark, the arrival of a much larger Pokemon in a sudden lunge into it's previously 'safe' observation spot sending the Rattata into blind panicked flight.
Smart boy. Use the cover. Use the Rat. Divide his attention.
"Keep the heat up and strike when able! EMBER!"
