Round 7 Begin

All but one of the trainers were surprised at how the battle begun. After adapting to the ground-type rushing into action at a moment's notice, the Diglett's first move was rather strange. He simply sat there, seeming at peace, just resting his body, most likely to regain a little energy and take a break from his high-octane battle.

The Spheal, however, took this as a chance to begin building at advantage. Taking a deep breath, and focusing a powerful blue aura around his body, Cube summoned his deep innate affinity for ice, and after reaching a sufficient concentration, shot it into the sky. The result was an almost instantaneous hailstorm. To the Diglett that had been resting, this was even worse then the rain that had fallen earlier, as the cold droplets pelted over his body. However, the opposite could be seen in the Spheal. The icy particles seemed to soak into his body, which appeared to greatly pleasure the round pokemon.

Despite the blistering hail, the Diglett simply continued to rest and relax, slowly getting some energy back, although his ability to calm down has greatly hindered by the snowstorm. Still, the mole rested, hoping that this new reserve would come in handy during his battle.

However, as the Diglett rested, the Spheal proceeded to take advantage of his vulnerable state, focusing his inner core to subzero temperatures, using every inch of his icy type to power it up. Aided by the hail, and the thought of the pain this attack would deal, Cube summoned all his power into one giant ball of energy, which when he released, split into a huge snowstorm, far larger than normal, which combined with the hail to create a devastating attack. Guided by the by ever buffeting hail, the blizzard struck true, and backed by the sheer force behind it, completely froze the Diglett's rather small body, as well as doing an insane amount of damage.

With the Diglett frozen solid in a block of ice, the ice type simply shrugged and proceeded to his next action, namely, creating a green barrier to protect him from some harmful attack. What harmful attack? The enemy's under 2 inches of ice! Regardless, he still threw up the shield, and waited for whatever attack that would come. After a few minutes of nothing, he dropped the shield, just as the referee signalled the end of the round.

Round 8 Begin

With the Diglett being encompassed in ice, Cube simply moved as he was commanded. Although move may be the wrong term. Because the Spheal did not move, but simply sat there, taking this null as an opportunity to regain some of the energy lost in the moves he had used earlier. So he simply sat there, much like his opponent had before being frozen.

After sufficiently resting and regaining a good amount of energy, the Spheal opened his mouth and began to form a blue orb of frosty power within, charging it up to a sufficient size before taking a deep breath and letting it go in a beam of brilliant icy energy. The attack was a direct hit, and although the cold encasing protected the Diglett somewhat, the attack still did some damage to his tissue, and seeming thickened the ice cage.

And because the Diglett was continued to frozen on the spot, literally, Spheal simply continued his onslaught of ice attacks. Once again, the ice type opened his mouth, charging the familiar icy cold beam inside. However, something seemed to distract him, and the beam was overcharged, yet, by stroke of luck, Cube was able to keep the energies under control. Firing the now oversized beam, It struck the Diglett directly, knocking it out, despite still being under an inch of ice.

And so, with yet another fainted pokemon trapped, the referee sighed and called for an end to the round.

Before either side could do anything, a sudden, ghostly mist wafted into the arena, causing a strange aura to float around, as if both sides now had some form of..protection. Seeing nothing particularly strange was happening yet, the referee simply allowed the round to continue.

The Magnemite began the fight, although to the untrained or unfocused eye, with vision hindered by the fog, it would seem to be floating in the air, completely still. However, in fact, it was tracing the energy signature of the opponent, preparing himself so his next attack would strike true to it’s opponent.. It knew his next attack was inaccurate but powerful, so striking true was essential to his cause, which was, of course, defeating the Spheal.

Said Spheal however, simply rested, taking a break from his previous blitz of offensive moves, and resting his body, not paying any attention to what the Magnemite was doing. As far as he cared, it wasn’t trying to destroy him, it was good enough. However, the fog need seem awfully creepy to him.

Suddenly, the Magnemite sprung into action. Charging whatever static electricity that it could find in the air around it, and focusing it into a glowing sphere of pure electrical power that shone through the ghostly mist like a beacon in the darkness. After adding the traced energy signature of his opponent into the mixture, the sphere was fired. With the fog hindering vision, the Magnemite’s aim was off, which was only aided by the unpredictable nature of the sphere. Completely off-target, the sphere zoomed past the target, but quickly swerved around and flew right into the back of Cube. Obviously that time spent locking on was useful.

The electricity coursed through the watery body, pain obviously rushing through Ciube’s veins. The zaps obviously caused a massive amount of pain to the seal pokemon, as well as seemingly locking his muscles up. Said seal however, did his best to ignore the zapping all over his body, and tried to continue resting, still attempting to regain lost energy. Naturally, the pain that lingered within him made this no easy feat. However, the hail that he had been absorbing also cam into play, fixing up some of the more minor woulds and refreshing the Spheal to a certain extent.

Wondering why his opponent was yet to do anything, the Magnemite continued his offense. Gathering electricity into his core, he focused it into his exterior, once again revealing a bright yellow sphere, whose luminescence was enhanced by the strange dark mist, hovering over the arena. However, when the focused sphere was let loose in a wicked bolt, the mist showed its downside. With the Magnemite's eye accustomed to the darkness, the bright ball was somewhat blinding, and so a crucial moment, his aim was off, and the bolt was off-target by mere inches.

The Spheal, who was still busy resting, thanked Arceus for such a stroke of luck, and proceeded to once again, regain the energy he had lost. When complete, Cube was feeling much better than before. That stupid muscle cramp was loosening too. Fantastic for him. And the hail only helped improve his mood.

It did, until it ended at any rate. So with the pelting icy stones finally gone, the referee ended the round so both players could adjust to the new normal conditions.

Round 10 Begin

The Spheal began the match, forging a green, translucent shield that glistening in the remnants of the frosty hailstorm. It served as a protective barrier to the seal pokemon, promising an impregnable defence and unbreakable wall. Cube sat behind it, enjoying the feeling of security and the time he could take now to just skip the turn.

His opponent, the magnemite, however, busied himself with things other than creating a shield. He focused, using an innate and arcane power to force change the atmosphere and weather around them, creating a localised downpour. So the heavens split and drops, this time not frozen, poured from the sky in droplets, which once again forced the human participants into shelter.

Continuing from his last move, the floating magnemite continued his offensive plan, charging a powerful electric force around him, and shot it into the rain cloud he had summoned earlier, creating a powerful electric current within the cloud. And with a wicked crack it flew down, directly onto the intended target, a Spheal, who once again felt the electricity ravage his body, forcing his already stiffened muscles to lock up even further.

However, the pains were ignored and Cube took his time creating a cold aura within him, building whatever sheer icy powers he could draw upon into a globe of shining frost. Opening his mouth, the sphere took off into the sky, cooling the summoned rainclouds, and changing the pelting rain into a blistering hail. The spheal greedily soaked up the pellets, rejuvenating his wounded body, and weakening the spasms of electricity in his muscles.

The Magnemite, although not overly impressed by the new weather, realized the lack of rain would make a power bolt of electricity hard to handle and keep under control, so he switched to a safer angle of attack. Drawing minerals from the earth and condensing them into a single, weighty lump, the magnet rubbed against it to straighten its electrons and cause it to be a powerful magnetic bomb. Launching it at the small Spheal, the magnet struck true, hitting the icy portion of his body with a satisfying crack. Cube was not impressed.

Cube, in response, did the strangest thing. Despite all the conspicuous electrical burns dotting his body, he simply looked bored, almost sleepy. The lethargic Spheal gave a heavenly yawn, one that would put a Hippowdon to shame, and apparently, it was very contagious. Within seconds, any observe would see that the Magnemite’s single eye was drooping slightly, obviously sleepy, despite being a living magnet.

Thunder was supposed to be a paralyse, but since Spheal was already paralysed, it simply worsened it. However, the Ice Body cancelled out the majority of the paralysis boost.

Patar said:

It's okay. So the magnet's about to sleep. Let's Protect from any move that might damage us or inflict even more status. Use Hail if it tries to change the weather. And finally Facade if it tries to boost its stats. For the next two turns, use Earthquake. If it wakes up,Yawn again on the second action and Facade on the third.

Protect/Hail/Facade ~ Earthquake/Yawn ~ Earthquake/Facade


EDIT: Wait. Wouldn't Magnemite's HP be lower since Hail? Pokemon take damage from Hail on every action.

Round 11 Begin

The flags went down, but nothing appeared to happen. Neither side made any attempts to hurt the opponent, to leave the blistering hail, or to conquer the world. Instead, both pokemon sat there, one metaphorically and one in truth. The Magnemite, however, was doing something, redundant to say the least. Already floating, it simply intensified the reverse magnetic field around it, forcing him higher into the air, reason known only to his commander. And right afterwards, the drowsiness running over his body overwhelmed him, and he gave into a deep, slumbering, whilst floating.

The Spheal however, watched in mild interest, sitting behind a green dome of protection, despite obviously not needing it. So he sat there, staring at the sleeping magnemite, floating there without a care in the world. It was quite a fascinating creature, really. And the hail felt incredible in soothing his wounds. Shame it was starting to end.

Fascinating was an understatement, for the Magnemite did something rather strange. Despite being deep asleep, it began to emit electrical static – its way of talking – and seem to concentratre on something. Very soon after, it let out a high-pitched burst of magnetic sound, causing severe discomfort to anyone around him. Which was the enemy Spheal, and the three humans. The Spheal seemed to be hit the burst worse, the ringing of his ears shown from his facial expression. It concentrated for a minute, but gave up, doing its best to ignore the sound.

As at the moment there were more important things to be done. Like blitzing said interesting creature with an attack that would make his future non-existant children shudder. Jumping into the air in unearthly proportions, Cube slammed into the ground with a deafening bang, shaking the ground around him, and by extension, the battlefield. However, the Magnemite, being a hovering creature, simply slept there in peace, not at all bothered by the shock waves spreading around him. The Spheal was not amused.

However, before the Speahl could attempt another attack, the Magnemite once again began emitting its sounds, obviously using the same technique as it had before. Cube braced himself for the imminent attack. However, none came, as the magnet pokemon simply slept there, nothing happening.

Wondering why his trainer was asking him to make such useless moves and why the attack before didn’t do anything, Cube was about to jump again when a muscle spasms got in the way, stopping him mid-jump, and causing the round pokemon to land with a rather awkward flop. Normally, a pokemon would have sworn at its horrible luck, but this time, the victim of said paralysis didn't mind. ”The attack wouldn't have done anything anyway”

Suddenly, the localised hailstorm once again left the arena, allowing the human participants to finally leave their alcove and survey the battle from a closer vantage point. The referee ended the round, if only to let the trainers adapt to the new conditions.
