Totodile vs Control of Dialga vs Barubu vs Lirris

Mmkay. Anput, let's take down that Reflect with a Brick Break. Wait for him to set it up if you have to. If Eric Snatches it, Brick Break him instead. Follow it up by Force Palming Eric; if he Protects or Detects, Sky Uppercut on Piggly.

Eric makes a face at his opponents and claws at the ground, smalls bursts of flame taking shape around him. He makes a sudden movement forwards and the fire flies towards Anput, whirling around the Riolu and keeping her pinned to one spot. She yelps as the fire singes her fur slightly and continues to whirl around her. Eric looks at the Riolu smugly and turns away from her. That fire would keep her occupied for a bit.

Spatz grins at the fire whirling around Anput, quickly trying to make it look like he was grinning at the Riolu and waving. His advance mostly goes ignored as Anput tries not to burn her paws and hops from foot to foot madly, though she does catch his eye and grin apologetically for a split second. Spatz looks down shyly and grumbles something under his breath. Eh, see if he cared if Anput burned herself.

Piggly shuffles his feet, glad that no eyes are on him at the moment. He steadies his breathing and focuses his mind, breathing out a fine light green mist. It gathers roughly into a rectangular shape in the air in front of him, forming a slightly milky screen hanging in the air. The Swinub looks over his work and nods to himself. That would do.

Anput seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity. She tenses up and leaps through the flames with a paw outstretched, wincing against the sting of fire on her face. Piggly blinks wildly as his mist barrier shatters like sugar glass under Anput's paw, and she brings the same paw crashing down on his head. Piggly stumbles back with a ringing head and Anput leaps backwards with a grin, the whirling flames behind her already fading into the air.

Eric snarls at Anput, already free from the flames he had created. Just the thought made him angry! He begins to shake and tiny flames burst to life in the air around him, flying towards Spatz with a motion of Eric's tail. Spatz yelps and ducks, the flames passing a good three feet above his head. The Houndoom shakes his head. How did he miss by that much of a distance? Were there still flecks of dirt in his eyes? The Houndoom rubs at his face with a paw. This was ridiculous.

While Eric's head is down, he can't see Anput creeping up behind him with a mischievous grin on her face. The Riolu races past Eric and gives him a good slap across the face with an outstretched paw, barking with laughter. Eric splutters and steps forwards to regain his balance and avoid faceplanting into the ground.

Spatz dashes by him on Eric's other side, leaping into the air as he passes. The Pichu kicks out wildly at the Houndoom's side and lands in a roll before leaping away. Eric huffs in disgust. Everyone could just go ahead and gang up on him, then. It's not like that kick from Spatz really hurt much, anyways.

The next blow from Piggly does hurt, though. The Swinub shakes and twitches as he focuses his attention on Eric, before launching himself through the air and smacking into Eric at a painfully high speed. Eric yelps in surprise and pain as Piggly does a ridiculously impossible flip off the Houndoom's chest and lands on all fours, scampering away as quickly as his legs can carry him. Now this really was unfair. First Eric misses, then everyone else teams up on him?

The Houndoom growls a warning to his opponents and puffs his chest out, taking note of the green shield of energy Spatz has thrown up out of the corner of his eye. He turns to look at the Pichu and grins. That was exactly the kind of fear he wanted out of his opponents. They should all just freak out and throw a barrier up!

Eric crouches low to the ground and concentrates on the air around him. Familiar little spurts of fire burst to life in the air around him, and fly towards Piggly with a quick motion of the Houndoom's paw. Though much like his previous attempt, Eric completely misses his target and the flames sail high above the Swinub's head. Piggly makes a patronizing noise. That had to be pretty embarrassing for Eric.

Anput grins at Eric's failure and glances over at Spatz. Did he see that? Wasn't that hilarious? To her disappointment, Spatz wasn't even looking at her in his green barrier. He was just staring at the ground or something, probably not even remembering she existed! Maybe it was time to move on, then? Spatz clearly didn't care about her as much as she thought. With this thought firmly on her mind, Anput races over to Eric's side, though before she can give him a good slap across the face the referee dashes between her and the Houndoom and turns the Riolu's paw aside slightly with her referee flag. Eric howls in pain and frustration as the slightly weakened blow connects and shuts his eyes tightly. This was seriously not a good day! Everything was going wrong.

Piggly looks up in amusement at the flames flying high over his head, and starts to get to work, digging at the ground when his front paws abruptly lock. He struggles to loosen them under his thick fur, though even the slightest movement causes pain to shoot through his limbs. He sits there struggling with his own body for a moment before deciding the cramp would go away if he left it for a bit. That was how cramps worked, right?

Piggly awkwardly sits on his hind legs and slowly stretches his tiny paws out, the eyes of his opponents on him. This was awkward. The green barrier around Spatz fades away a moment later, and the Pichu's eyes fall on Piggly as well as the Swinub works out the kink in his paws. He felt a lot better, though too late he remembered he was supposed to be attacking Spatz. Well, no time for that now.

Brick Break on Eric. If he Protects/Detects or has fainted, use Force Palm on Spatz; if both Protect/Detect, or Spatz does so and Eric has fainted, Swords Dance like crazy.

Brick Break (Eric)/Force Palm (Spatz)/Swords Dance x3
 
Well uh alright. The battle can continue without Barubu, then.

Totodile, I assume you'll want to recommand? Lirris and Control of Dialga can command after that.
 
Um sure I guess.

Swords Dance, then Drain Punch on Spatz twice for health. If he Protects/Detects, Brick Break Piggly again; if both Protect/Detect, Feint at Spatz.

Tickle (Anput) ~ Reversal (Piggy) ~ Protect

A young girl of bubblegum pink hair approached, hands held behind her head casually as she observes the abandoned fight. Seeing an opening for her services, she waves a gloved hand to gesture for the remaining fighters to continue their battle. Better late than never.

The terrain is still in fairly good condition despite the past weather changes. One trainer stepped down but don't let that shake your spirits! Still 3 anxious trainers stand ready, awaiting Lala to permit the fifth round.

Round 5

The new round begins with the infatuated pup. She appears to be blushing as she glances over at the yellow furred rodent not too far off. Her starting action is a dance? What better a way to show off to Spatz than with using a powerful array of moves. Anput begins hopping around, flexing her lean muscles and making small yips in the process. Faint swords shimmer as they dance around her agile body. Without wasting time, Spatz stretches out his small frame before advancing on Anput. He abruptly skids to a stop and rears on her, poking at her belly with the end of his tail. The dance is stopped and the pup rolls onto the floor in giggles. She was somewhat delighted that her beloved was enticed to play with her. Piggly, on the other hand, squealed as he broke through the static to summon an ice beam. The bright blue light struck the sky and immediately dark clouds crawled into the open, a chilling breeze followed by hard beads of ice entered the arena.

Rolling onto her stomach, Anput's ear hardly twitches in response to her trainer's command. Her eyes are so fixated on Spatz that she chooses to pretend she did not hear her next attack. Why waste time punching a porky little Swinub herself when she could fawn over Spatz doing it for her? Playfully kicking her legs, eyes beaming with love, the Pichu focused an unusual amount of power into his small arm and threw it into the side of Piggly's round body. A grunt escaped his furry lips as he cringed, now unable to fight the paralysis. Instead he shakily gathered himself back into an upright position to locate his attacker. That rat would be sorry!
Hail strikes Anput and Spatz...

The round is coming to a close and Anput reluctantly rises to her feet, giving Totodile a sideways look of irritation. Her next move would be to take the offensive on Spatz be it he didn't cast a protective dome around him. This pleased Anput, allowing her to focus on eliminating the third wheel of the battlefield. The Riolu darted towards the Swinub and began a heated barrage of fists as if trying to break through a great wall made of bricks. Piggly shrieked with the hits being delivered but then flashed a small smile before a shadow loomed over Anput. The Riolu halted the assault in time to look up and see a large icicle growing bigger and bigger before plummeting down onto her. The shards exploded against the ground and left a stinging pain in Anput's back. In her agony, she grew furious with Spatz, leaving her to endure such pain while he sat protected off to the side. Attraction is lifted.

Sorry, I did have a post in the Absence Sheet that had me out until today.

Okay, Piggly, we need this hail to keep up. So if anyone changes the weather, or it ends, use Hail. If not, blast a Blizzard. Follow that with Mud Bomb on Spatz. If he is unhittable, use Icicle Crash on Anput. Follow with another Mud Bomb on Spatz. If he is unhittable, use Blizzard. If they are both unhittable in the first action, use Reflect.

------------------------------​

Eager to put her thoughts of Spatz's disinterest out of her mind, Anput is quick to lose herself in the motions of a whirling dance, a state of heightened awareness coming over her as she hops rhythmically through the air. When the Pichu saunters playfully up to her—so now he wants her attention, huh?—she's easily able to focus on twirling and ignore him... that is, until he reaches out with a paw and prods her lightly in the stomach. She stops spinning for a second, dazed, and Spatz turns and begins tickling her with his tail, and all at once her graceful dance dissolves into a fit of uncontrollable giggling. Rolling with laughter in the grass, she clutches her stomach and kicks uselessly in Spatz's direction, completely at his mercy until he apparently loses interest and backs away, leaving Anput struggling to catch her breath. So much for her elegant dance. The increased focus it had lent her has faded away somewhat, now, and she finds it difficult to get her guard back up.

Oblivious to all this, Piggly turns his snout to the sky and concentrates, some of his fur standing on end as he takes on a hazy, icy blue glow and the air starts to cool. The sky darkens overhead as the aura intensifies until it springs forth from the Swinub's body, collected into an orb of the same colour that shoots upward into the sky and parts a gap in the gathering clouds. A faint noise like something shattering sounds from overhead, and all is silent for a moment as the battlers look up to the sky. Then something small and smooth and round falls from the clouds, and then come a few more, and then countless amounts of the hailstones begin to rain down, steadily dashing themselves against the rooves of the picnic domes.

Spatz is really not pleased with this hail that he's had to do his duty to himself and his fellow battlers by abolishing once before already. (They should be grateful.) There are no such commands for him this time, though, so he makes a pointless attempt to cower from the annoying stones, folding his large ears over to cover some of his face, and pays no notice to Anput creeping up alongside him until the Riolu draws back a fist swirling with bright green fighting energy and then slams it into his side. He squeaks out in pain and protest as the punch sends him spinning backward and the green aura latches onto his fur. A brief feeling of weakness comes over him as the light saps some of his stamina away and goes flying back to Anput's fist and over her body, closing up some of her battle wounds. The Riolu flashes Spatz a devilish grin, and he turns away with a huff and focuses on his other remaining opponent instead.

Reveling in the cool temperatures and the feel of the hail on his fur, Piggly remains completely unconcerned about the other battlers. And then Spatz comes barreling into him out of nowhere, battering him all over in a frenzy of tiny limbs. The Swinub jerks back with a squeal, unable to defend himself beyond trying to keep his face turned away. Keen to end the desperate assault, he tears quickly at the grass beneath him with his front paws and digs up a clump of damp earth, which he clumsily fashions into a spherical shape. He manages to awkwardly twist around and lob the ball of dirt in Spatz's direction and breathes a sigh of relief when it explodes over his head, sending the Pichu tumbling backward and off of him with a startled cry. A few bits of mud shower over him, but he doesn't mind, and his aggressor is covered with much more of the stuff, anyway. Spatz spits a bit of dirt out of his mouth and gives himself an impatient shake, spraying droplets of mud in all directions, before spreading his arms wide and closing his eyes. He becomes outlined with a faint glow that expands into a transparent bubble around him, made all the more noticeable by the stubborn hailstones bouncing off of it.

Anput narrows her eyes at the hail that nicks at her fur and then at Spatz's shield in distaste before turning her attention to Piggly. The Swinub is huddled on the ground a few feet away and she hastily approaches him, her fists starting to glow brightly. Piggly senses her approach and shuffles around too late; she's already next to him, and she drives one fist into his side, then brings the other one down on his head. A third punch shoves him some distance away, his paws helplessly scraping at the grass as he cries out from the immense pain. It takes him a moment to recover and Anput is content just to watch, quite pleased with her handiwork.

Piggly finally struggles back to his feet and takes a deep breath, exhaling a gust of cool air laced with sparkling particles of ice. Stirred by the chilly wind, the particles grow larger and larger in size until they fuse to form a massive icicle more than twice his height. The Swinub nods to himself, apparently satisfied with his creation (though Anput doesn't see him so much as open his eyes to look), and suddenly it goes speeding forward toward her. The Riolu lets out a yelp as it crashes into her chest with more force than she'd expected, driving her far backward and leaving her temporarily winded. The icicle falls on top of her, making it difficult for her to sit up, and she instead lies on her side as it starts to melt at unusual speed, the cold stinging where the icicle makes contact with her fur, until she has the strength to throw off what's left of it. It's with diminished confidence that she stands up again, angry with herself for underestimating Piggly's attack, but she's soon put back in good spirits when she sees Spatz let down his shield and stomp his foot in annoyance as he's once again exposed to that bothersome hail. Serves him right.

Arena Status
  • The weather has changed to hail, and will remain that way for seven more actions. Non-Ice-types exposed to the hail take 1% damage per action.

Damage and Energy
  • Anput's Health: 43% + 5% (Drain Punch) - 15% (Icicle Crash) - 2% (Hail) = 31%
  • Anput's Energy: 59% - 2% (Swords Dance) - 5% (Drain Punch) - 5% (Brick Break) = 47%
  • Piggly's Health: 56% - 14% (Reversal) - 18% (Brick Break) = 24%
  • Piggly's Energy: 60% - 4% (Hail) - 4% (Mud Bomb) - 4% (Icicle Crash) = 48%
  • Spatz's Health: 36% - 11% (Drain Punch) - 12% (Mud Bomb) - 2% (Hail) = 11%
  • Spatz's Energy: 61% - 2% (Tickle) - 4% (Reversal) - 2% (Protect) = 53%

Notes
  • Riolu and Pichu have the same base speeds; for purposes of breaking the speed tie, I'm treating the one who was commanded first as the faster.
  • Spatz's Reversal had 80 BP.
  • Piggly's Icicle Crash scored a critical hit.
  • Lirris commands first next round, then Control of Dialga, and finally Totodile. For future reference, the person who commands first one round goes last the next round, and everybody else moves up.
