I don't think Manectric really fits on Flygon - 5' vs 6', and Manectric needs all four paws squarely on a surface. He could ride something like Delta Onix, or Valder's old Mamoswine.

Everyone clears the field, shaking Weedle from their boots. Manectric starts things off with an Electric Terrain. Terra has to shout to be heard above the chewing.

Electric Terrain 1
(1)(2)(6)(5)(4)(2) That goes off just fine!

Rock Slide 1
(4)(5)(5)(3)(3)(1)
And the Rock Slide keeps Melly from being stung.

Howl 1
(1)(2)(6)(5)(1) Melly is strengthened!

Rock Slide 2
(2)(3)(3)(5)(2)
Still safe.

Discharge 3
(4)(6)(1)(1) Melly wipes out a battlefield of Weedle with a single move! Most of the Sunkern are still up, but they'll fall to the second Discharge.

Rock Slide 3
(3)(1)(1)(6) This Rock Slide fails, but all the Weedle are gone and the Sunkern aren't physically aggressive. So Melly is fine.


Discharge 4
(5)(5)(6)
An entire third of the Sunkern and Weedle are now gone! One battlefield's worth. 

You can move to another area where they're thick again, but your Electric Terrain won't be applicable there. Would you set it back up, ensuring enough damage to Faint the Weedle with every attack?

In regard to setting up ET every time per field, the answer is yes, as taking a bit of time to ensure that those dangerous pests are OHKOed is just a smart move, even if it gives said pests time to retaliate. Genie will do her job of provide protection with 3 Rock Slides (6/5/4D6 Base Dice Rolls), while Melly sticks to the pattern of 1 Electric Terrain and 3 Discharges per area first Round, then 4 Discharges every Round afterwards if their are still stranglers somehow (5/4/3/2D6 Base Dice Rolls). If people are in those areas, Terra will give them the same warning as last time to git gone for their own good.

Weedle Swarm Round 2

Electric Terrain 1
(5)(2)(1)(6)(3)(2) The setup works again, connecting all the shrubs and rocks and things in the area with electric fields.

Rock Slide 1
(3)(3)(1)(5)(3)(4)

Discharge 2
(6)(4)(4)(5)(5) That's a critical hit, and it finishes off the Sunkern as well as the Weedle!

Only a few swarm members remain, and the other assembled Trainers finish them off as you're working on your two battlefields.

Terra's fame is rather spreading in Teazel Valley! Everyone is gathered around to pet Melly, and Genie once she demands attention. When hearing what his favorite food is, someone makes a run for a big bag of marshmallows! Melly gains 1 Happiness and Genie gains 1 Loyalty after working together with that pack Pokemon.

The ground is littered with Weedle bodies - they only present a problem if you step on them. You figure the bird Pokemon will take care of most of them. The Sunkern are more interesting - their little roots have already used up a bunch of the nutrients in the soil in just a short time. So, though that swarm was a little less intimidating, it's clear they were equally dangerous in their own way.

Melly and Genie gain 4Xp. Terra earns 4, +4 for Heroism.

A Ranger comes up to Terra and asks to talk to him about the encounter - he plans to do some research on invasive Pokemon.
