Waterfall ~ Twister / Muddy Water ~ Surf / Hydro Pump / Muddy Water
Preveza turns around and faces the great waterfall behind her, gathering up her strength with a quiet hiss. She rushes forwards and leaps headlong into the waterfall, then starts to ascend the huge column of water with a strained look on her face. The Seadra reaches the top level of the waterfall with some effort, surveying the levels below her with a critical eye. There's a conspicuous spot of pink sitting at the bottom of the stairs two levels down, and Preveza manages to catch Daremyth's eye with a little flick of her fins. The Igglybuff is a bit taken aback as she realizes her cover is completely gone, but quickly composes herself with a little frown. This shouldn't be too difficult to fix, she decides, and her eyes start to glow an odd, unnatural red.
Preveza keeps her eyes fixed on Daremyth with a sense of pride, slowly catching her breath and getting ready for her next attack, when suddenly everything goes a bit.. wonky. Preveza squeaks in surprise as she suddenly feels heavier, or like suddenly a great force is weighing her down. She slips under the surface of the water, thrashing about in panic as she loses control of her buoyancy and sinks. In her panic, she can't quite fight the strong underwater current and is swept backwards towards the waterfall. The Seadra realizes what's happening a moment too late, and with a panicked trill, she goes over the edge and falls the fair distance down to the ground level.
Daremyth watches the blue spot follow the waterfall down into the pool below, but if there's a splash, the roar of the waterfall's covered it up. Daremyth wants to go see if she can spot Preveza in the water up ahead, but as she begins to struggle up the stairs (a task made more difficult by the increased gravity), there's a low rumbling sound that makes the Igglybuff pause. From the pool in front of her, a wave of dark, murky water suddenly rises up and surges down the stairs, taking Daremyth completely by surprise and washing her backwards. She sputters and tries to clear the mud and specks of dirt of out her eyes. Well, it seems like Preveza recovered from that fall fairly quickly, then.
Daremyth gets to her feet and turns back to the staircase in front of her with a sigh. Climbing it would normally be a struggle anyways, given her small size and stubby limbs, but with the intensified gravity and her sudden unwieldy weight, it's going to be even more difficult. She does her best to pull herself up the carved stone stairs anyways though, but when she reaches the top she's disappointed to see that Preveza is completely invisible under the water, if she was there at all? The mud dredged up from the Muddy Water attack earlier was making it difficult to see to the bottom of the pool and spot her opponent. Daremyth looks around warily, scanning the water around her and even up at the waterfall above her, just in case, then decides to play it safe. She waves her stubby arms around and a familiar wall of pale yellow light starts to form in front of her, giving her an added layer of defense.
Daremyth gets to put her Light Screen to work almost immediately, when with a low rumble, another wave of dark water surges up from the pool in front of her and washes across the cavern floor in front of her. The Light Screen helps divert some of the wave's force, but to her disgust, Daremyth finds herself with a faceful of silt anyways, the gross sludge getting into her eyes and leaving a horrible taste in her mouth. She spits it out angrily, then closes her eyes and switches to her second sight. She reaches out to find Preveza's mental signature and makes a little noise of approval as she finds the Seadra a few meters down, floating quietly near the bottom of the pool. Daremyth presses into Preveza's mind, hitting a bunch of random nerves and generally making a psychic mess of the place. Preveza trills in pain and curls into herself as Daremyth retreats back into her own mind, and tries to nurse her growing headache. This battle wasn't going her way at all.

ight I feel the need to point out that I've never taken physics so I'm not entirely sure what this """gravity""" thingy is or how it works. But like. An increase in gravity means everything effectively gets heavier, right. So; when Gravity was used, Preveza sank under the water and ended up getting pulled back down the waterfall (I had her take 1/2 the damage of a Waterfall). Once she got to the bottom, her increased weight made her stay a few metres below the surface around Dive's depth. Since she couldn't see Daremyth, that qualified as 'out of [her] sights' and 'invisible', so she used Muddy Water for the next two actions.
-Daremyth climbed up the stairs (this took 3% energy due to Daremyth being like 5 inches tall, and the gravity making it hard to move) to try to spot Preveza in the water, but it wasn't very clear due to Muddy Water being used and she just put up a Light Screen instead.
-Preveza's second Muddy Water reduced Daremyth's accuracy one stage.
-Daremyth used the mental intrusion variant of Psychic on the third action, but it took an extra 1% energy to actually find Preveza's mind and mentally intrude as Daremyth wasn't completely clear on her location.
