Round six
As the two beaten down Pokémon try to regain their bearings, they barely notice as the next familiar song starts up, and a chill wind blows through the hall. The crowd murmurs and shivers, then look up in dismay as thick, black clouds slowly begin to form overhead. Obviously a Castform is at work behind the scenes.... There is much grumbling and complaining from the crowd as the hailstones begin to pelt down, and a few well-prepared watchers quickly whip out their umbrellas. The floor rapidly becomes slick and icy from the steady spray of hail, but neither battler seems to mind the heavy hailstones pelting down on them. However, as Helium squints down worriedly at her foe, she's dismayed to see that the Froslass’s form has grown blurry and indistinct through the icy downpour. Her natural camouflage has kicked in, and the hail is providing her with cover.
Zero wearily looks up at her foe, but the Delibird doesn't seem to have any intentions of flying down just yet. Zero waves her hands, and a shimmer of translucent green energy forms a protective dome around her. Helium manages to catch sight of the distinctive green glow through the barrage of hail, and she takes that as her cue to back off for now. She tries her best to chill out and regain some much needed energy, but it’s a tricky task when you’re trying to remain aloft at the same time. She slows down her flapping slightly, and tries to slow down her breathing as she allows herself to relax a little. Zero keeps a close eye on the Delibird as she sees her lose some height, but she doesn’t drop down fair enough for the ghost to get a hit in. After a few moments of tense silence, Zero grits her teeth and gradually lets the shield drop.
Helium gives a weary sigh as she peers down at her foe, and she instantly goes on the alert as she sees the protective glow fade away. The small break she had didn’t feel like anywhere near enough, but she can’t miss her chance to end this fight. She’s disappointed however, when she sees a bright orange aura flare up around the stationary Froslass, crackling brightly through the icy haze of hail. Helium risks flying a little closer to try and see how Zero is holding up, but she can only make out a blurry, indistinct shape behind the orange glow. Still, judging by how bright it is, Helium doesn’t hold out any hope of getting a shot in. She gives a deep sigh, then tries her best to take another uncomfortable breather. She slows down her flapping again, and closes her eyes as she tries to regain some much needed energy.
Zero gives off a frustrated snarl as she lets the shimmering glow around her fade away, and her concentration lapses. She's getting tired of playing defensive, but she's left with little choice. At least she can take solace in the fact that her opponent is in just as poor shape as she is. She peers up at the little bird flapping high above, and Helium returns her gaze as she awaits the ghost to make a move. Zero glowers, then spreads out her arms, forming another protective dome around herself. It flickers and wavers for a moment, and Zero clenches her fists as she tries to stabilize it and not fall into a blind panic. She lets out a breathless sigh of relief as the green glow gradually becomes more sturdy, and takes shelter behind the protective barrier. Helium glares at the green light shining through the onslaught of hail, and repeats the same process as before. She's growing more anxious by the second, and all this stalling is really setting her nerves on edge.

Battle notes
- OK, maybe next round....
- It was difficult for Helium to chill while remaining aloft, so she restored half as much energy as normal.
-
Chasse-neige, performed by Berezovsky. The effect is that the weather is changed to Hail, and Powder Snow falls on the battlers for each of the three actions, inflicting them with damage. (Chasse-neige translates to "snowplow")
- bulbasaur attacks first.
