round six

Plucking up his courage, Flame moves a little closer to the terrifying Shinx, then squeezes his eyes shut as he tries to concentrate. He isn’t that adept at the whole psychic thing, so it takes him a little while before he can tap into his hidden mental powers. Eos gives a startled snarl as she suddenly feels a jolt of pain in her head, and she staggers backwards as she is suddenly overcome by dizziness. She shakes and paws at her head in agitation, but the feeling passes almost as quickly as it appeared, as the inept psychic isn't able to keep his mental grip on her for long.

Eos gives a wide grin, then lets loose a surprisingly loud roar that sends the nervy Flame scurrying back in fear. Huge sparks of electricity leap up from Eos’s bristling fur, surrounding her in a crackling halo. Eos growls as she lowers her head, straining to muster up the tremendous surge of power she needs. Flame cringes and staggers back from the blinding display, trying to shield his eyes with his paws. Electricity continues to build and build around Eos as she crouches down and growls, until it looks like a miniature thunder-storm is raging around her. Finally, Eos charges head-first towards her foe, angry sparks leaping off her body in waves.

Flame can only give a horrified squeak as he sees the charged Eos heading straight for him, before he is completely bowled over by the Shinx’s reckless attack. There is a blinding flash of electricity as Eos collides, and both Pokémon are sent flying backwards in a raging electrical storm. The snarl on Eos’s lips becomes a gasp of pain as she bashes her head and falls down with her foe in tangle of limbs. A surge of crackling sparks rolls off Eos’s bristling coat as she falls, further shocking the unfortunate Cyndaquil and leaving him in a charred heap.

Errant sparks continue to crackle and rage around the two dazed battlers, leaving the earth around them blackened and scorched. Eos grimaces and forces herself to stand up again, then gives herself a shake as she tries to regain her bearings. Her head is pounding horribly, but she takes solace in the fact that her efforts weren't in vain. Flame is twitching and squeaking, his face contorted in pain. The tremendous surge of power has completely robbed him of control of his muscles, and he is left writhing helplessly against the uncontrollable spasms. He eventually manages to calm himself down enough to relax a little, but his brief break certainly isn't a comfortable one.

Eos backs away a little as she warily eyes her opponent, her tail swishing steadily. Flame certainly isn't up to much at the moment, and his movement seems to be getting even more sluggish by the second. After a few moments of silence, Flame gives a feeble cry as he staggers upright. Eos perks up her ears and tries to remain alert in spite of her aching head, but it quickly becomes apparent that the unfortunate Cyndaquil is in no condition to retaliate. With one last feeble squeak, he collapses onto the dirt again, completely out for the count.

There is a small, Eevee-sized hole near Eos's side of the field, which leads into a small tunnel.

Battle notes

- Bleh, sorry for the delay. Really wasn't feeling very inspired with this one.
- Eos's combo became a 250 base power attack that came just shy of knocking Flame out. The poison did him in afterwards though.
- Her attack also paralyzed Flame, and he was left fully paralyzed on the second action.
- Littlestream sends out and attacks.​

Round seven

Littlestream hastily zaps the defeated Flame back into his pokéball, then takes a few moments to think about her next choice. Eos snarls and swishes her tail as she waits, and she is soon greeted by her next opponent. Daisy the Skitty emerges in a bright flash, and she immediately gives an eager meow before she begins frolicking about happily. Eos is in no mood for games however, and she just bares her fangs at the cheerful kitten, wishing she would shut up. Her head is still thumping painfully, and Daisy’s excitable meows are supremely irritating. Daisy frowns as she sees her new opponent's less than friendly welcome, then gives a half-hearted hiss as she attempts to match Eos's agression.

Eos snorts dismissively at Daisy’s intimidation attempt, then takes a deep breath as she prepares to show her exactly how scary she can be. She’s surprised however, as sees that Daisy has already begun to work on her substitute; clumps of dirt are swirling up from the ground, and Daisy is busily moulding them into the vague shape of a Skitty. Eos scowls; Daisy is deceptively quick, but the sub she’s making doesn’t look too sturdy, and Eos is positive she can knock that flimsy thing down. As Daisy finishes off her creation, she breathes some life into the faux Skitty, and its hollow eyes light up with a silvery spark. Eos sneers over at the hollow creature, and sparks crackle and fizzle around her bristling fur. Daisy leaps up with a yowl as Eos sends the powerful bolt spiralling towards her, and the newly created substitute immediately leaps into its path. The new creation is completely obliterated by the force of the attack, and clumps of earth are scattered everywhere as the light in its eyes abruptly fades away.

Daisy gives a little disappointed mewl as she sees her ruined creation, and she sullenly paws at its remains. What a jerk! Still, maybe she can work on buttering her up. Daisy tries her best to look cheerful, then gives a soft mewl as she bounds playfully towards Eos. The Shinx blinks rapidly and stares at her suspiciously, her claws digging into the loosened earth. Her icy demeanour causes Daisy to falter a little and cower down, but she eventually manages to summon up her courage again. She swishes her pink tail and lets out a long purr as she suddenly zooms in and rubs up against a dumbstruck Eos. Daisy doesn't seem to notice the less than welcoming expression on her face however, and she continues to purr happily as she wags her tail. Eos quickly gets over her initial shock, and it's soon replaced by outrage. She snarls viciously in Daisy's ear and roughly pushes her away, snorting dismissively even as the Skitty looks up at her with a shocked and wounded expression.

With that embarrassing situation successfully de-fused, Eos casually makes her way over to the tunnel her partner dug earlier. She peers down into the hole’s scorched looking depths, marvelling at how amazingly small Eevees are. It would be a tight fit even for her. She digs her paws into the plentiful earth, then rapidly kicks up some loose clods into the tunnel. It doesn’t take too long to fill in the tiny entrance, and it’s soon packed tight with dirt. Eos glances over at Daisy while she works, and she struggles to suppress a small grin as she sees that the Skitty is still looking quite sulky.

Eos takes a moment to inspect her work, then backs away as she peers over expectedly at her opponent. Daisy appears to have gotten over her rejection already, judging by the playful grin that has resurfaced on her face….or maybe she’s secretly harbouring a grudge. Eos supposes she’s going to have to be wary about that. Daisy gives an eager little meow, then slowly creeps forward, her bushy pink tail swishing madly. She peers over at Eos cautiously, then makes a sudden dash for what she thinks is the general direction of the tunnel. She pauses in mid-bounce, then scampers around in frantic circles, wondering where on earth that little hidey-hole got to.

Eos just barely manages to contain her laughter this time; the sight of the little kitten scuttling about aimlessly makes for an amusing sight. It also makes her a good target. More sparks crackle around her fur as she charges up, before she unleashes it in a concentrated bolt of power. Daisy is stopped in tracks by the electrical attack, and she gives a horrified yowl as the current runs through her small form. Eos chuckles as she watches the Skitty running about erratically again. Her head feels better already...

Round eight

Eos gives a wide grin as she sees the frazzled Skitty padding gingerly towards her, and her tail swishes eagerly. Daisy gives a feeble mewl and looks at her warily, then takes a deep breath and hopes for the best. She begins to softly croon the words to a strange and eerie lullaby, her body slowly swaying in time to her tuneful meows. Eos frowns and lowers her head, begrudgingly impressed by Daisy’s singing voice. Who knew a yowling cat could sound so soothing? Eos gives a loud yawn and sways on the spot, her eyes blinking rapidly. Spurred on by this, Daisy raises her head high and continues her haunting song, her voice raising and falling in time with the music. Eos can feel herself growing drowsier and drowsier with each note, but she finds herself helpless to resist it, and her eyelids feel so heavy…

As the last note tapers off, Eos tumbles onto the ground with a loud snore, completely out for the count. Hardly able to believe her luck, Daisy gives a small sigh of relief, and quickly sets about taking advantage of the situation. She creeps up behind the snoozing Shinx, then takes a deep breath, and the air she inhales gradually grows frigid as her body temperature lowers. Daisy shivers a little as she begins to form a blue orb of crackling icy energy, then sends it at Eos in a single freezing blast. Eos gives a sleepy, half formed yowl as the ice beam collides with her, sending a wave of freezing energy running across her body and coating her fur in a thin layer of frost.

Daisy waits tensely for a moment as Eos gives a low whine and tosses and turns in her sleep, shivering from the sudden coldness. Daisy tilts her head and ventures a little closer, hoping vehemently that Eos will stay conked out just a little longer...

Eos suddenly gives another loud snore as she kicks her hind legs, her ears twitching rapidly as she tries to get comfy. Daisy breathes another sigh of relief, then scampers up beside her sleeping foe, ready to press her luck again. She reaches out with towards Eos with her tail, then rapidly brushes it under her chin, flicking it back and forth. Eos lets out a peal of laughter, and flails about madly, her legs pedaling the air. Daisy looks on nervously as Eos continues to squirm about, then jumps back with a gasp as the Shinx's eyes suddenly flicker open.

Eos gives a small gasp of her own, then collapses into giggles again, blinking rapidly as she struggles to clear the sleep from her eyes. She's still feeling woozy and disorientated, not to mention a little weak at the knees, but she manages to scramble back upright eventually.

Round nine

Daisy rapidly begins to paw at the plentiful mud, scooping it up and fashioning it into a suitable projectile. As it begins to take shape, Daisy keeps shooting anxious glances over at Eos, who still looks a little bit out of it. Eos stumbles forward, blinking sleep out of her eyes as she goes, and quickly runs her commands through her addled head. She isn’t really feeling up to dancing at the moment, but hey, maybe it’ll wake her up a bit. She gives herself a good shake, then bounds forward, her steps becoming a little more tentative as she tries to remember the moves of the dance. Oh yes, and she’s also got to remember to avoid –

Before Eos can finish that thought, she is met with a resounding splat of mud right to the chest. She gives a yelp and staggers back, trying to shake the thick muck out of her coat as she attempts to recover. She shoots an irritated glance over at Daisy as she paws the worst of it off her fur, then holds her head up and eases back into her dance routine. Soon enough, the wispy white clouds begin to respond, and they gradually become thick and black.

The sour look on Eos’s face soon becomes a little brighter as the rain begins to pelt down, quickly clearing most of the mess off her coat. Daisy is not so appreciative, and she meows unhappily as the freezing rain soaks into her skin, leaving her drenched and shivering. Eos grins and bares her teeth at the water-logged Skitty, then swishes her tail as she takes a step forward. Daisy cringes a little as she begins to focus on drawing upon the shadowy energy of the spirit world, and the air around her begins to shimmer and distort as the baleful ghosts respond. The faint hissing of a death rattle rings out, and a swirling mass of black and purple energy begins to appear in front of Daisy. The orb whirls around rapidly before Daisy nudges it forward, sending it on its jagged path towards her foe. Eos gives a hiss of pain as the orb slams into her, sending her skidding backwards through the wet mud.

Eos growls and shakes her head to clear the lingering fuzziness, then plants her paws in the soaked earth, her gaze firmly focused on her opponent. Daisy’s ears flatten against her skull as she slowly backs away from the Shinx, her drenched tail dragging through the slick mud. She really doesn't like that look Eos is giving her...

Eos suddenly lets out a loud snarl, and Daisy nearly jumps a mile as sparks fly wildly from the Shinx’s body. The thick, black clouds overhead respond to her command, and they rapidly twist and roil as they split apart. There is a low growl and a loud rumble, before a bolt of lightning suddenly streaks from the sky, illuminating the arena in bright white light. Daisy gives a strangled yowl as the bolt strikes her dead on, flooding her body with vicious jolts of electrical energy. When the blinding light eventually peters out, Daisy is left looking like a scorched and sodden bundle of fur, still smoking faintly. Eos grins triumphantly; she's got her on the ropes now.

Daisy groans as she struggles upright, slipping a few times in the soaked earth. The lashing rain is doing nothing to help her dire mood, but she manages to force herself to stand again on her jittery muscles. She gingerly shakes her legs a little, but they appear to be responding for the most part. Looking a little grim, she turns to face the smug Eos and tries to recall some flashy moves from her team-mates, hoping they’ll provide her with the inspiration she needs to turn things around. Her sodden and frazzled tail swishes feebly as she closes her eyes and lapses into deep thought. After a few moments, she gives a small meow, and her pink coat begins to shimmer with dancing sparks. Eos frowns as she peers through the haze of rain, then gives a small yelp of surprise as Daisy sends a widespread shock wave crackling and fizzling towards her.

Eos grunts as the shock fizzles through her, but otherwise doesn't seem to react to the feeble display. Daisy gives an unhappy mewl as she sees how easily Eos shrugs off her attack. What was she thinking? Eos just smiles toothily; she's going to show that stupid cat what a real electrical attack looks like. Daisy cowers down as sparks begin to fly again, and another jagged bolt of lightning streaks from the sky, sending a vicious jolt through her system. Daisy gives a screech of pain and surprise, but her cries quickly become weaker and weaker as the powerful bolt drains the fight out of her.

Round ten

Daisy gives a feeble mewl of despair as she sees the sneering Eos advancing on her, and she struggles desperately to right herself. Eventually she manages to find her footing against the wet earth, and she grimly prepares to make a last stand. Straining against her aching limbs, Daisy suddenly bursts forward, a bright white aura crackling around her as she draws upon her last reserves of strength.

Eos freezes in surprise, and gives a howl of pain as Daisy collides with her, sending a blinding blast of pure energy coursing through her body. Eos goes flying backwards to land face-first in the muck, blinking dazedly at the unexpected outburst. Daisy gives a weak smile as she sees her opponent’s dirt streaked features, and takes some comfort in the fact that she isn’t going down without a fight. Eos is slowly recovering from the shock however, and she bares her teeth in a snarl as she pushes herself up again.

Eos paws away the worst of the dirt on her face, then plants her paws firmly on the ground and stares up at the stormy sky. The rain has dwindled considerably, but it’s wet enough for her purposes. Eos swishes her tail as her fur stands on end, and the clouds split apart to send another jagged bolt of lightning streaming down towards the unfortunate Skitty. Daisy gives a screech of pain as yet another powerful jolt runs through her body, shocking her to her very core and leaving her in a sodden heap of burnt fur. Worse still, the bolt has jarred her muscles, leaving her stiff and twitching.

Eos can barely contain her glee when she sees Daisy flailing about helplessly in the mud. Time to end this. She takes a deep breath, then turns her gaze skyward again, and the blackened clouds roil and twist as another vicious bolt comes blasting down. Daisy is too weary to even manage a cry of pain this time, and she falls down soundlessly as the second bolt zaps the fight clean out of her.

Eos gives a triumphant roar upon seeing her foe fall and bounces about happily. Success! Littlestream winces as she looks at Daisy's condition, then hastily zaps her back into her Pokéball with promises of rest and relaxation. All three trainers give a sigh of relief as the rain winds down to a feeble drizzle, then make their squelching way through the mud to shake hands and receive their prizes. Eos kicks up a spray of mud as she skids to a halt, then flops down, panting heavily. Windragon hastily zaps the overeager Shinx back into her own Pokéball before she does herself further injury, muttering words of praise as she dissolves into red light. With that done, everyone trudges off in opposite directions, eager to get out of the sodden dirt-field.

Battle notes

- The first thunder paralyzed Daisy, which let Eos finish her a bit faster.

And that's a wrap. Windragon gets $16, Littlestream gets $6, and I get $10.

Eos gets three experience points. Rose, Flame and Daisy each get one.​
