The referee had planted its umbrella into the sandy field and was sitting on a beach towel and drinking lemonade while it watched, amused, as the trainers attempted to make some offerings to the RNG gods. Eonrider attempted to offer the aron's head, while Blazie had a more feasible present: roasted torchic drumsticks. The RNG gods didn't seem to notice though, as they gave no reply. The referee just gave an impassive wave. "Round start," it muttered.

Round 6
Fire Fist growled (or squeaked, really) and tried to calm down. The blood rushing to his head blurred his vision, and that stupid, stupid... creature was still smirking at him. The torchic humphed, annoyed, and settled down for a chill -- or tried to, actually, because he slipped on the same patch of sand
again and fell on his face. Fire Fist decided to just give up trying to crawl back up, since the world was still spinning. The warm sun did feel rather nice though...
Po, like his trainer, was melting in the horrible heat, and his burn wound throbbed painfully. Calling up the energy of water, Po began doing an ancient dance, stepping left and right while chanting something ominous under breath. A dark blue aura cloaked him, and the air began to cool down. Clouds started rolling in, at first an innocent white, but as Po's dance continued, they started gaining a darker hue. Soon, the thick rain clouds covered the whole sky as Po danced faster and faster. Thunder cracked overhead, and, suddenly, the first drop of rain fell. It was followed by a torrent of rain, and everyone on the battlefield minus the referee suddenly found themselves soaked.
The cold rain snapped Fire Fist out of his wanderings and he looked up, trying to remember his trainer's next command. What was it? Right. Mirror Move ground-typed moves... The torchic peered through the rain, trying to make out the small silvery form of his opponent. Po was busy digging a hole in the arena and had already made pretty good progress, if the growing pile of dirt was anything to go by. Digging a hole in the ground seems like a ground-type move, Fire Fist decided and started digging, too. Fire Fist was definitely less apt at digging than the aron was, but he soon made deep tunnel not unlike the one Po had made.
The tunnel, while dark and moist and generally uncomfortable, offered Fire Fist a refuge from the rain, and the little fire chicken sighed. Good thing the arena dirt is quite absorbent, otherwise he would have drowned by now. However, it was impossible to hit the aron in this darkness, especially since there's also a few feet of dirt in the way. Annoyed at not getting a chance of burning his opponent to a crisp, Fire Fist opened his beak and spat out a swirling circle of flame at the dirt wall. The Fire Spin hit the wall and exploded in a small burst of flames, successfully drying the tunnel and doing nothing else of value.
Po, on the other hand, settled down in his moist tunnel and peered around. He was pretty deep underground, and, as much as he would like to use an awesome Earthquake and bury the chicken, he didn't want to bury himself as well. Kicking up a small pile of dirt, the aron prodded it and shaped it until it looked just like him, albeit brown. Satisfied by his creation, Po sent a bit of his life energy into his Substitute and grinned as the pile of aron-shaped dirt jumped to life.

Terrain Notes:
It is raining for 10 more actions. There are two unconnected tunnels about five feet deep each.
Notes:
- Fire Fist was confused on the first action.
- The rain cleared Fire Fist's head and lowered his confusion
- In case anyone cares, the RNG gods determine the number of actions the weather persists
- Po used Substitute on his last action
- Blazie is ordering first next round
