This is an interaction that I saw while reading Pokemon Special.

The context is a gym battle between Platinum and Suzuna. When Platinum defeats
Suzuna's first Pokemon, she explains how her Emperte has an advantage due to
typing.

Suzuna asks あれ? なんか「 自分はじぶんまったくやられていません」 、 みたいな感じだよね?

Confused about the question, Platinum asks そ、それはどういうこと. . . 、As she is asking
this, a seed that she is unaware of is descending toward Emperte. The seed was
shot before Suzuna's Pokemon fainted.

When the seed hits Emperte on the head and knocks it out, Suzuna responds こういう
こと。

The main thing preventing me from understanding this is the scentence in
quotations. I can't tell what やら would mean here since it seems to have
various uses. I only understand that Suzuna is asking about an impression.

I also noticed that こういうこと。rhymes with どういうこと. Is this supposed to be
intentional or is it only coincidence?

question
meaning readings conversations
Can someone help me understand this interaction?
This やら is actually from やる in it's passive form (やられる) + ていません, which in the
end gives you やられていません. The word やる has lots of different meanings, but from
the context, I'd say it's something like 'not being done' or 'not being
finished' or 'not being beaten'.

So, this Suzuna character says something like:

> Huh? It's kind of like, 'I'm not really being beaten,' isn't it?

To which the second character, Platinum, asks:

> Huh, what do you mean...

And Suzuna answers:

> I mean this.
