Denryu vs. The Omskivar

Though exhausted, Magni manages to recall the details of Schwarz’s previous attack - how he’d coughed the seed up from his stomach, gathering it up to his tiny fish mouth, spitting it out with so much force towards herself - and she mimics it all, reversing it onto the remoraid with extreme accuracy. Her seed explodes onto him just as his had, slamming him likewise into the snowglobe’s glass walls, dripping green energy onto his blue scales. Shaking himself, Schwarz swims forcefully back towards Magni, unleashing an identical attack - a green seed ripping through the calm waters onto the feebas and tossing her backwards, shimmering green energy fading into her hard scales. She looks like so tired, they both do, but they cling to life, glaring at each other, daring the other to give up.

Hoping to outlast his opponent, Schwarz gathers up a blue protective shield, clearly visible in the rippling waters. Though she can see it’ll be useless, Magni has no choice but to attack, repeating the same tactics as before; and obviously, the seed bomb splatters uselessly across the shield. Only Schwarz’s wincing expression gives away his efforts to keep it up - the protect, that is - as the green energy slides down towards the bottom of the globes.

His protect fading with a shimmering mimicing the sparkling snow, Schwarz is pummeled by the ready and waiting Magni. She dives hard into his side, a tiny fishfull of fury, but her energy dries out fast and she lulls sideways, clearly exhausted. He smirks; though he’s only got a bit more life to him that she does, he still feels the roar of battle in him. He calls for it, drawing up one more seed, and spits it out on her prone body. She cries out feebly - so close, so close to gone, but there’s just a bit of fight left, and she holds out for one last round.​

Slowly, the globe swerves upwards, the water inside sloshing like a tidal wave; up, down, circling back and forth. Though it moves slowly, the waves are powerful enough to toss the two fish every which way, especially now that they’re too weak to fight against the stream; and the glittering fake-snow spreads across their vision, making it difficult to concentrate. Their eyes sometimes close; it’s tough to keep them open, they’re so tired, and trying to concentrate just makes them dizzy…

Eventually, Magni doesn’t bother; she closes her eyes and rips off a few of her scales, flicking them aimlessly through the water. They rip straight for their target, though, with pin-point accuracy and fast enough to slice through the water like - well, like water - and slap into Schwarz one after the other, much like his bullet seeds from earlier. He sags at the hits, floating listlessly downward and bumping across the bottom of the fish bowl, until he’s tossed upwards again by the raging waters.

He’s so tired, but he has to fight, has to win… He reinflates himself a bit and mimics his opponent, plucking out a few scales and tossing them. They act identically, rushing through the water and slicing across Magni’s hide, with just enough force to knock the rest of the fight out of her. She goes limp and floats through the water, eyes closing, before being recalled.​

A flash of white light announces the appearance of a big floppy penguin, replacing its fallen comrade Magni. Constantine dives splashes about in the fish bowl, trying to surmise his arena, and fails miserably… It’s just too weird. How did he become so small, or the snow globe so big, and is that real snow, what the hell is going on??? Uhg, it’s too much to think about, whatever - he turns instead to the clearly exhausted Schwarz, and rolls his eyes. Really, he’s sent into this arena to take out that - what could barely be called an opponent. Fine. Fine. This is his lot. He rubs his fin-wings over his eyes; he’ll deal. He’s been through worse, maybe, probably… Or he will be, in the future.

Squinting his eyes, he prepares to - to swim really fast - and dive - and, and peck, and, no, he can’t, it’s too many things, his brain freezes. He smacks himself on the head, trying to figure it out, but he can’t, and anyhow it doesn’t matter, because a blue shield is clearly visible surrounding the stupid remoraid. So even if he could understand how to pull off his attack, which he can’t, even he can tell it would be more than pointless. Now utterly furious, he floats limply in the water, waiting for a miracle.

Unfortunately, once the shield fades, Schwarz isn’t content to let his opponent flounder. Though tiny, he opens his mouth and lets out a horrendous scream; it’s surely powerful enough to shatter glass, though thankfully it doesn’t. Still, it looks like it’s shattering something, as Constantine presses his fin-wings hard against where his ears would presumably be, scrunching up his eyes in clear pain. It’s hard to tell when the screaming ends, as it reverberates through the water and in Constantine’s pained skull; he opens his eyes though, glaring daggers at the stupid fish.

The assault isn’t done yet. Schwarz flounders through the water, landing like a dead fish on Constantine’s face - and flops, smacking him red, flailing so furiously the poor prinplup can’t even smack him away. He smacks and whips and kicks until he suddenly goes limp - Constantine grabs him and throws him immediately, with no resistance, sending him towards the top of the snowglobe. At such speeds, it takes a moment for anyone to notice his eyes are crossed, he’s not moving at all - and then he’s immediately recalled into his pokeball. Constantine is still fuming; he won, sure, but not by his own actions. Uhg. Humiliating.​
