Literally. You are on the moon. Oxygen masks and tanks of air will be provided for all participating. There are craters here and there, and gravity is reduced, so all Pokemon jump higher than usual. Also, all moves that involve space (i.e. Cosmic Power, Moonlight, Morning Sun, etc.) gain 20% efficiency, as you are in space. Also, there will be a 10% chance for a meteor to strike the field once per round, a 5% chance of a shower, and a 1% chance for this meteor(s) to hit a pokemon in play, dealing 40% damage. (or something like that)

Now it’s Chief Zackrai’s turn to send out a new Pokémon. He throws out a Dusk Ball, which explodes in a blast of darkness to reveal a tan-and-green spotted mushroom-like thing. The Shroomish looks around curiously at its surroundings. It then begins to wonder how it, a plant, can breathe when there’s not as much Carbon Dioxide as in the Earth’s atmosphere. He thinks about it a little, and then just decides not to think about it.

Sir Galahad looks at his new opponent, trying to formulate a battle strategy. It’s a mushroom. Mushrooms like heat, right? So, they must hate ice! Smiling, the Ralts begins to run forward, coating his fist in Ice-type energy and punching Caza right in the face. The Shroomish recoils from the Super-effective attack. But he’s not going to let Sir Galahad away without revenge, is he? He thinks ahead to his future strategy, and decides on a course of action. He tilts his head toward his retreating opponent, and out of his little bump he fires a tiny little seed. The Worry Seed plants itself on Galahad’s head, and sinks into his body. Suddenly, the Ralts finds his blood flowing faster, and his psychic powers of retaliation gone somewhat.

But the Ralts doesn’t intend to let that hit go freely. The humanoid launches forward again, and for the second time coats his fist in Ice energy, slamming it into Caza as hard as he can. The Shroomish again recoils, although this time it’s quicker with it’s own hit. Before Sir Galahad has fully retreated, the mushroom has released a large glob of poison at his opponent. The toxin hits Sir Galahad’s chest and immediately starts soaking in. Within moments, the Ralts begins to feel a bit nauseous.

Sir Galahad thinks a little. Ever since he’s been attacking from up close, he’s gotten nailed by a revenge attack every time. So if he stays far away and attacks with a ranged attack, then Caza might find it a bit harder to hit him. The Ralts decides on this course of action. He taps into his mental store of energy, and grasps Caza with his mind, raising the little Shroomish off the ground and squeezing the poor thing incredibly hard. As soon as he’s done that, he slams the mushroom back on the ground, releasing his hold and grinning evilly. Caza’s head is spinning as he struggles to get coherent again. He points the top of his head at Sir Galahad and releases another type of seed, which would attach to the Ralts’s body and drain its energy. But as Sir Galahad dives out of the way the Leech Seed flies right past its target and happens to plant itself into another crater.

Notes
•Leech Seed missed.
•It occurs to me, Zackrai, that it would’ve been smarter to just use Toxic without using Worry Seed. Then it would have Synchronized Toxic and you would’ve gotten the Poison Heal benefit. Too late now, tho.

After his success last round, Sir Galahad figures he’s uncovered an effective strategy in dealing with pesky mushrooms. But now he feels less inclined to go with ice; He’s trying Fire this time. He rushes forward, and with his good arm (thank goodness he’s ambidextrous; he wouldn’t want to melt his bad arm off) he whacks Caza right in the face. The Shroomish flinches back, shaking its head. It growls, but instead of retaliating it starts doing a strange dance. Some swords suddenly appear around him as he does so, clashing onto each other for a brief while until they disappear.

Sir Galahad looks at Caza. Why is he dancing in the middle of a battle? Well, whatever. The more that thing dances, the more chances he has to get in a free attack. The Ralts charges forward again, leaping and slamming his flame-colored fist into Caza’s side. The Shroomish is sent spinning, and from that motion it begins the dance again. As Sir Galahad retreats, he can see the swords appear in a circle around the mushroom once again, clashing and clinking as the Shroomish does a complex series of advanced steps. He reminds himself to ask that thing for dance lessons once the battle is over.

Caza smiles confidently. His two dances have allowed him to harness an ancient power. He feels stronger, if a little battered. But he’s not going to let that stop him! He has to get revenge for all those free hits! He lowers his head to point it at Sir Galahad, who stares on confusedly. Suddenly, out of the little hole in the top of his head, six large spherical seeds come launching out, and fly in an ark toward the Ralts. It only barely manages to stick out both its hands to different sides and create a translucent greenish energy shield before it’s too late. Against it the Seed Bombs explode loudly. Sir Galahad lets down the shield, breathing hard. He’s pretty beat. Caza, on the other hand, is fuming with rage at hs wasted effort.

Okay. Probably last turn you're going to be conscious, so, let's try to make the best of it. Hypnosis, till it works, followed by Chill, then Dream Eater (Energy). If he protects, Chill.

Use Mega Drain (energy) until you're asleep. after that, use Sleep Talk.

Sir Galahad smiles; all he has to do is immobilize his opponent, then he can rest all he wants. The Ralts starts waving his two arms back and forth as Caza begins to watch confusedly. Almost immediately his eyelids start to droop, and Sir Galahad shoots a wave of energy to finish the operation. Soon, the Shroomish is snoring peacefully. Or not so much—the Ralts notices that Caza is mumbling in his sleep. He walks over to investigate, but suddenly the Shroomish gets up and lowers his head toward him, his eyes still closed. Sir Galahad looks on confusedly, until out of the Seedot’s head a volley of seeds comes flying, nailing him and throwing him back a ways. Ow!

Well, that little incident aside, Sir Galahad is more or less happy. He gets so rest now! The Ralts plops down, curls up into a little ball, and starts to sleep lightly. He’d be up before the next action, not to worry. Meanwhile, Caza is having more restless sleep, mumbling a little more to himself. The Shroomish’s bulb opens, and out of it flies another, bigger seed. Just as Sir Galahad yawns and gets up, the seed comes flying toward him. The little Ralts dives out of the way as fast as possible, sighing in relief when he hears the Seed Bomb explode behind him. He got away just in time!

…And now, it’s time for some more action, finally. Sir Galahad looks at his opponent, then closes his eyes. Using his psychic powers, he maneuvers into Caza’s mind. Wow, these are certainly some interesting dreams. He didn’t know that Caza had a fetish for My Little Pony…Anyway, that aside, the Ralts begins searching around until he finds the Shroomish’s energy stores. He sucks the energy out of the mushroom, and in the form of pink translucent balls the bits energy pull themselves out of Caza’s body and fly towards Sir Galahad’s, sinking in. Or at least, some of them sink in. Others just disappear into space. About half of them.

Now feeling pretty refreshed, Sir Galahad opens his eyes to look at what Caza is doing. The Shroomish has started sleep talking again. This time, it opens itself up to the cosmos above. A yellowish glow surrounds his body, complete with sparkles, and it seems to Sir Galahad that the Shroomish is absorbing sunlight from the sun off in the distance. Soon, the glowing stops, and Sir Galahad notices that the Shroomish no longer has any battle wounds or burns on its skin. He sighs, wishing he could do that, while he looks at his own recently won bruises.

Sir Galahad smiles. He’s almost won! All he needs to do is continue fighting! The little Ralts opens his mind, and once again searches Caza’s dreams for a tasty morsel. He heads toward the energy part of the Shroomish’s brain, and there finds a succulent little morsel, which he immediately devours. The Shroomish shakes a little, but still doesn’t wake up. Instead, it begins sleep talking again, and immediately some bluish-white orbs of mystical energy begin to form around it. The orbs condense, then spread out in a wide wave, which hits Sir Galahad squarely.

The Ralts retaliates by searching his opponent’s brain once more. Soon, he finds a nice dream, which he immediately devours. But it’s smaller than the ones before. He begins to wonder why, but then he opens his eyes and sees Caza lying on the ground, unconscious. He’s not asleep, but he’s too tired to go on. Sir Glahad begins cheering as Chief Zackrai recalls his Shroomish, and RespectTheBlade pats him on the head before doing the same.
