Arena: Mirror Ball
The combatants are inserted psychically into a giant ball, which has been polished on the inside to make the entire thing a mirror. The ball is about 25 feet in diameter.
Due to the reflective surfaces, all light based attacks, including aurora beam, confuse ray, and such, will have one hundred percent accuracy. On a similar note, energy attacks, such as energy ball, hyper beam, aura sphere and force palm, will occaisonally bounce around the sphere if they miss. They have about a 10% chance of hitting either combatant, and will dissipate after one action.
The attack Rollout, if taken to 3-5 actions, may cause the user to go wildly out of control while rolling around the sphere. They will loose one action, which will be counted as another rollout move, but with a halved percent of accuracy.
Round Six: Begin
The three Bulbasaur (and their myriad reflections in the walls of the mirror ball) begin to foam at the mouth, thick, purple ooze dribbling from their jaws and sizzling as drops hit the ground. Pam and her clones retch violently, a massive glob of poisonous slime flying out of their mouths and straight at Pam. The Poochyena skitters backward warily--she knows only one of the three sludge bombs can actually hurt her, and she's pretty sure she knows which one it is, but she'd rather not get hit by
any of them. Alas, she does not get out of the way fast enough. The two false attacks fade away harmlessly as they hit Pam's sides, but the real one splatters painfully all over her face, quickly dripping into her mouth and nose and seeping into her skin. She coughs and sputters, desperately trying to spit out the mess, but the damage is done. She sits down hard and spends the next few minutes pawing at her face, trying to wipe off whatever she can.
The vines wrapped around Pam's head almost seem to shudder as the noxious goo touches them.
Unaware that her sludge bomb might have affected some of the seeds she'd planted and feeling a bit better now that Pam appears to be slightly queasy again, Fern takes a moment to prepare herself for the attacks she's sure will be coming soon. She begins to mutter and grumble under her breath, speaking strange, dark words she knows by heart but doesn't really understand. The arcane spell grants her increased strength, bulking her up slightly and toughening her speckled scales; the increased mass makes her feel slightly heavier, however, and makes movement feel a little more difficult again. Under normal circumstances, Pam might have been intrigued by the bizarre words her opponent is uttering, curious about what she might be doing, but she has more important things to worry about at the moment. She's starting to feel sick
again, and this on top of all the stress and discomfort she's already experiencing is making her absolutely miserable. She sniffs the air, winces as the sharp intake of breath stings her nose, and then runs at the real Fern with her fangs bared. She bites into the side of her opponent's face, but Fern doesn't seem to be nearly as concerned about it as she usually is.
The extra buffer Fern received from her mysterious curse reduced the impact of the nasty bite, but she can see Pam's mouth glowing orange again and doesn't want to take any chances. The familiar dome of green energy materializes in front of the Bulbasaur and her clones again, shielding them from harm. Not that Pam doesn't try--she takes another whiff of Pam's scent and chomps down, fangs blazing. Her mouth simply slides uselessly off of the shield, leaving Fern and her body doubles unscathed. The little hyena backs away from the barrier, pawing unhappily at her nose. The sludge from before really did a number on her nostrils, and forcefully sucking in all this cold air is making them sting horribly. She isn't really sure she can pinpoint the real Fern anymore, with her nose as messed up as it is...
The worry seed vines shudder again, a bit more noticeably this time, and Pam fancies that she feels just a
tiny bit calmer.

Ref's Notes
-Sludge Bomb poisoned Pam.
-The sludge that splashed over the vine is slowly killing the Worry Seed on Pam's face; its effect will probably fade by the end of the next round. (The vines will still be wrapped around her head, they just won't do anything any longer.)
-shadow_lugia attacks first next round.
