> Shift into horse stance as you learned in tae-kwon-do class to resist impact and stay standing. Then slap the attacker across the face.

You would love to, but you only took tae-kwon-do class for three days before you got your ass kicked by a feckin' Meditite. Turns out the class was mostly made to help both Pokemon and their trainers fight better together.. and.. well, you don't have Pokemon yet.

However, there is good news. Your do remember the Horse Stance. Placing both fists at your side and spreading your legs apart, you brace for impact........

And are promptly sent flying backwards, landing hard on your back.

You are dazed for a few moments as a blurred face leans over you, asking if you are okay.
