To start off the round, Flaress didn’t make a move, instead waiting to see what her opponents were commanded to do. Once again Dave was given the opportunity to make the first hit of the battle. He squinted, tightening the thin layer of skin atop his head and making his skull seemingly stick out more. This essentially made his head a human battering ram, just ready to crash into either of his opponents. Dave charged forward at Flaress, head low so his forehead was pointed straight at her. He careened into her with an almighty force, literally sending her into a wild flip. Flaress had the air knocked out of her as she felt the full brunt of the attack. She hit the deck hard, and from there she gingerly returned to her feet. Dave was amazed that he was fine himself, his skull feeling perfectly normal after the tough blow that normally would have hurt him. He decided he would figure it out later. Suijin also decided to not attack right away, and this gave Sollux a chance to move before his opponents. He groaned as he realized he was performing an attack that was all too common. He moved forwards and began to dance in the only way a Solosis could. Spinning through the air. Even though it was simple, one would have to agree it was much more graceful than Dave’s attempts. Soon dark and menacing cumulonimbus clouds covered up the hot sun once more, and a steady downpour began to make the boat slick and slippery again.

Realizing that neither of her opponents were protecting or using Safeguard, Flaress felt it was time for her to make a move in this round. Having been struck by the Head Smash Flaress realized that she no longer had a strong lead like before, and she had to get back somehow. She generated a small circle of purple flames, flames tinted with more of her ghostly energy. She sent this ring of fire forwards, unravelling itself so it moved like a snake in the air towards Sollux. However, it seemed that Flaress was still suffering from the effects of the Head Smash, and her wisps of flame were horribly off target, missing Sollux entirely. She sighed and looked down at her paws in disgust. Suijin felt that he should be able to accomplish much more than his partner. He began to run around the deck of the boat again. This would have been much harder if he wasn’t a water-type, as he would have been slipping and sliding all over the place. However, he had no trouble keeping his footing, and soon his speedy efforts resulted in two carbon copies of the Squirtle once more, standing right beside Suijin. Or flanking him. The real Suijin was not to be identified. Yet.

Dave once again was given the privilege to attack first in the round, and he made good use of his opportunities once more. He squinted and lowered his head into charging position for the second time, making Flaress shiver with fear. She knew what was coming, and she was not exactly happy about that. Dave charged forward zealously, feeling a rush of excitement as he realized how easy it was to make a mockery of his opponent. With this added enjoyment he put a bit of extra backing behind his attack, and when he struck Flaress he felt her catapult even farther through the air. The Vulpix landed hard once again, this time taking a worrisome amount of time returning to her feet. Her vision was starting to become hazy, and she realized she might not be able to take another one of those blows again. Dave was once again spared from any recoil damage, and though this made things easier for himself, it irked him ever so slightly. Sollux decided that he could add to the passengers on the pain train himself, and began to form a connection with the cloud above his head, pouring electrical energy into it. Soon the cloud above him was crackling with electricity, causing all three Suijin to look up, horror etched across their faces. As their eyes pointed to the sky a gigantic bolt of lightning came down and struck the real Suijin right in the head. The attack caused him to scream in pain as he felt his skin fizzle, his clones disappearing instantly. As quickly as it appeared the lightning disappeared, still leaving Suijin smoking.

Flaress knew that she had little left in her, and so she had to deliver one last attack before she left the battle. She had a vain hope that the referee would call the damage on her, but the teenager was as stone-faced as ever, adhering to the lack of a Damage Cap. Flaress let out a weal cry as she let loose a bundle of dark energy. The attack surged out in every direction at first, but then the balls of darkness began to curl back and go towards Sollux. The Solosis cringed as his body was manifested by the evil attack, and he was flung backwards through the air, laying to rest (figuratively) near the rail of the boat. He kept his eyes tightly squeezed, not wanting to return to the devastation of the battle. Suijin himself was not free of pain, having been quite put off by the Thunder that had hurt him. Now it was time to get payback against the enemy who had so far made a mockery of his partner. He ran forward at Dave again, using his, now trademarked, three-punch combo. One to the gut, one to the neck, and a final jab right at the forehead. Dave groaned as the attack struck his head. That attack had certainly hurt his skull, so he growled to signal that his opponent had made his point. Suijin backed away with a small glimmer of hope.

Dave now decided it was time to finish off the Vulpix who had begun the battle with a cockiness that had very much annoyed him. He squinted again, still worrying that he was about to feel recoil, his luck had run out. However, he would have the honour of knocking out Flaress either way. He charged forward not nearly as hard as he needed to, only needing an intermediate attack to cause her to faint. He crashed into her for the final time, and with the blow Flaress drifted into unconsciousness, finally at peace. Glace returned her to her Pokeball as Dave continued to ponder why he wasn't in a horrible amount of pain. Then it came to him in a flash after looking at his partner. Sollux had linked them with a mental connection last round, performing some strange action. Now he realized that the Solosis must have switched their abilities, giving him a protecting coat over top of his skin. That was why his head didn't hurt. He smiled as he looked back at his partner, his cringing partner. They really worked well together, even if one was not really suited well for battle it seemed. Suijin, now scared out of his wits, was about to pay back his opponent for causing his partner to faint, when the referee blew his whistle. It was league regulations that all rounds be ended when a Pokemon faints.

Arena Notes:
-A steady downpour is falling, making the deck of the boat slick

Ref’s Notes:
-Combined damage from all three Head Smashes = 76% O_O That’s what happens when you don’t implement a Damage Cap
-Will-O-Wisp missed
-The second Head Smash was a Critical Hit, not that it mattered
-Dark Pulse caused Sollux to flinch
-The second Thunder would have been a Critical Hit as well had Sollux not flinched
-Of course, neither of those last two notes matter as Flaress fainted before they could take effect
-Glace, you have horrible luck (well, you were lucky that I forgot to DQ you)
-Mawile to order attacks next

Dave should have Magic Guard; Sollux Skill Swapped it to him a while ago.

That also means that Dave should not have taken recoil, correct?

Edited

Dave:

Thunderpunch Suijin three times; if he Protects, use Bulk Up.

Thunderpunch @ Suijin/Bulk Up ~ Thunderpunch @ Suijin/Bulk Up ~ Thunderpunch @ Suijin/Bulk Up

Sollux:

Thunder Suijin three times; if he Protects, use Calm Mind.

Suijin rushed to use his next attack, managing to use the element of surprise to get the edge on the slightly faster Dave. Suijin, however, was helped considerably by the fact that he didn’t have to move, only needing to stay in the same spot, bracing his body for the hits that were about to strike. He squinted his eyes shut, and focused on one small fact. Stay conscious. He let the thought run through his mind like a scrolling text marquee, not letting any other ideas irk him. He had to focus. Dave relished the opportunity to attack an already weak opponent; especially one who had seemingly decided to shut his eyes and give up. He felt slightly remorseful as he realized that that was exactly what his partner was doing at the exact moment. He pondered why he was the only currently battling Pokemon who could stay with a battle until the end. At least the Vulpix had had spunk. Brushing the thoughts away, Dave ran forward along the slowly dampening deck, thanks to the incessant downpour. When he approached Suijin he let his fist, now charged with painful electrical currents, slam right into the temple of the small turtle, letting himself get revenge from the Brick Breaks he had endured. Suijin felt the hit, but he still resided inside his little mental fort. He was not worrying.

Though Dave had admitted the opposite, Sollux had now returned to his previous unemotional state, having gotten over the effects of the Dark Pulse. He grimaced as he realized this was because his opponent had fainted. He didn’t like feeling good about someone fainting. And yet, that meant he was one step closer to evolution. Maybe it was a good sign after all? And now he had an opportunity to finish off another opponent, getting even closer to his ultimate goal. Using this newfound inspiration he once again began to channel energy into the giant storm cloud above them. Through the monsoon all could see sparks start to fly across the surface of the dark mass, lighting up the area. The looming sound of Thunder resounded throughout the deck, and yet Suijin still did not flinch, even though he knew what the ominous sound meant. With an almighty explosion of light a massive bolt of lightning came down from the heavens in an instant, striking poor Suijin. Of course, the Squirtle did not faint, actually not needing to endure either hit completely. The attack still sent his pain sensors into overdrive, and finally he opened his eyes and screamed. Quite obviously, he was not taking the pain very well. And then along came Dave, deciding that he wanted to be the one to faint the poor Squirtle. He also decided that he was going to send an electric attack the Squirtle’s way, just like so many times before in the match. Dave charged forward through the rain, which was now starting to really annoy him. Still, it gave his partner a very helpful accuracy advantage, and that was always nice. Dave felt his fist fill with powerful jolts of electricity once more as he pulled it back. When he was within arms reachof Suijin he delivered what he thought was the finishing blow, straight to the gut. Electricity coursed through Suijin for the umpteenth time (how he had managed to avoid paralysis was beyond any of them). However, Suijin still had a gasp of health in him, and he was going to make the best of it.

Suijin, vision now misty, balance completely askew, decided it was time to make his final stand. Using the only attack he felt that would suit his situation, he charged in an all-out rage towards Sollux. There was no dignity in the attack, nothing to be respected for, just a pure tackle. The one that you deliver with anger at your older sibling when you know they’ve beaten you. Arms T-rexxin’, Suijin jumped through the air and took the Solosis down to the ground in a furious last attempt at pain. Sollux cried out as he felt the last ditch effort strike him. Maybe evolution wasn’t worth all of this suffering. Still, he realized that his opponent was probably feeling one hundred times worse. And now it was his job to finish off the poor Squirtle. With a sad smile he began to channel electricity through the cloud above. A flitting thought of how interesting it was that a cruise ship be covered in so much rain went through his mind, but he quickly dismissed it. Feeling his last attack was strong enough, he let loose one last blast of magnificent yellow energy, less than half of the attacks’ power needed to finish off the Squirtle. In a matter of moments Suijin had drifted into unconsciousness. Glace solemnly returned her last competitor and left the battle without looking back. Sollux and Dave were also returned to their Pokeballs, though their trainer was of a much happier mood. Ampharos was the last to leave, descending the stairs down to the lower levels with his referee flags tucked under his arms. Soon the rain clouds dissipated, and the cruise ship was back to normal again.

-Endure actually wasn’t needed on the first action
-That’s that folks. Your winner, Mawile, receives $16, the always gracious Glace wins $6, and your sexy, sexy ref gets $10. Suijin and Flaress receive 1 EXP point each, Dave gets 3, and thanks to his Lucky Egg, Sollux receives 5 EXP Points. Lucky Mawile -_-

Shouldn't Sollux get five? You put Dave by accident.

My mistake, I was trying to get over my jealousy at the time.

It's ok.

EDIT: Dave should have three exp and Sollux should get five exp. Sorry for being picky.

AGH!!!! Do not apologize, that's my bad. *facepalms self*

My prize-giving skills are severely lacking today
