Water Pulse 1
3 actions this time
(4)(4)(4)(5)(2)(2)(4) Critical hit.
(4)(5)(2)(4)(3)(3) Poochyena takes 3 dmg 1/6hp.
The little dog is sent tumbling head over heels. He shakes his fur, which is drenched in water, and spits up some water as well.

Seaking declares victory and begins to Swift Swim away.

Well, that one single time Shiva didn't pay full attention to this battle immediately came back to bite her harsh, as there was no chance she could have avoided her young hyena being hit by that Water Pulse. She could only watch with a raised eyebrown  as that Seaking gave her and her drenched Pokemon a huff, showed of its precious fins and color and jumps right back into the fishing spot. Well, she could easily break her promise now and chase it down with Magical Leaves, but she opted against that as her Pokemon was in more need for her care now than the idea of seeking revenge and pretty sure go icy while doing so. Let's better have Seaking leave in peace.

Instead, she approached her special Poochyena - the sight of him being so drenched and humilated caused her heart to BLEED - while already rummaging in bagsack in seek for something she was pretty sure she still had with her... Found! Kneeing down in front of Yena, she carefully caught his attention by looking at him until he returned her gaze. When he did, he earned a VERY APPRECIATING pat on his forehead - something he might have never expected. If he understood orders correctly, Master wanted him to bite that fish until defeat, so what was she doing now?!

No reply came from Shiva though, she even began to smile faintly at her Pokemon from a little higher than eyelevel. A few moments later, Yena found himself being covered from the ears downward by that gift towel Shiva received at the treehouse spa resort in Fireweed Forest, as well as being offered to sniff on a bottle of a Potion. When he did so, finally Master was speaking up in a soft voice to him. There was nothing audible that pointed to failure or distress over this battle. "Nevermind defeat, Yena. I don't doubt you didn't give your best, and you are more trained to bite and ward off Ghost Types than Water Types. One day, you may even volve into a full grown hyena and teach your foes respect by baring your teeth. Sseeing what we've learned from this battle is way better idea than going sour and angry over it. You are allowed to be as angry as you like though, and I can find you an opponent later to bite down with pleasure if you'd prefer that. For now, let me take care of you first, alright? Yes, this thing contains medicine that'll ease your pain. That towel will drain most moisture out of your fur if you let me stroke it through your fur - I used this towel a few times actually, but only to dry my own hair after washing it (means, it does carry the scent of his Master for a Poochyena). I can brush out any remains of moisture of you if you let me use this brush on you - yes, here, you can sniff on it too."

Mechanics:
I assume I could still pester Seaking with a no-fail-SE-Grass-STAB, but let's care for defeated Yena instead and turn this into some bonding time. He has equal Loyalty and Disobediance, does he let Shiva keep him on her lap, use a Potion on him to put him back to 5/6hp, dry him with the towel smelling after her, and finally brush his fur in gentle stroking movements? I'm also serious to have Yena battle away any of his personal humilation(?) and restore pride by seeking a battle against an NPC's (or wild one, if available) Psychic or Ghost Type for him later if he gives Shiva signs that he'd enjoy that.
