"Lucario, keep using Bone Rush! Corviknight, use Steel Wing to stop Electivire!"
Luxray used Spark to envelop both itself and Lucario in electricity, hoping to shake Lucario off.
But the Aura Staff in Lucario's hands suddenly exploded, forcing Bone Rush to produce an effect like Aura Sphere. Then Lucario raised a hand, formed a new staff, and thrust it straight at Luxray.

Just as Corviknight was about to strike Electivire, Luxray leaped up from where it had fallen and took the blow with its body, getting knocked away once again.
Steel-type attacks weren't very effective against Electric types, but with that much weight behind the blow, it was still painful for Luxray. Fortunately, it had bought Electivire enough time to finish using Rain Dance.
