[Armin too takes a good look at the two pokemon Thida decides to bring out. Partially to admire them, as that is quite the good looking Malamar, but also, because his brain has automatically shifted into gear, trying to recall all he knows about these two species and how best to counter them.
First things first - that Tsareena is going to be a problem. Armin is fairly certain she is a grass pokemon (perhaps with a secondary typing, but grass for sure) and that is not going to do well against Athena. He can't prevent it from using grass-type moves, but at the very least, he can start with taking the edge off.]
Athena, use Soak on that Tsareena.
[Turn that grass into water, which will be a much easier type for him to deal with.]
