LegendarySeeker knew exactly how to get rid of a pesky bug like this one; KILL IT WITH FIRE. Therefore, he selected his Vulpix to do battle. Rasvata trotted forward, admiring the glow of the cavern, quickly understanding the nature of the strange power flowing through her from the rock around her. She made sure not to slip on the ice as she decidedly hopped up to stand on a rock jutting out from the frozen pool. Commands were issued and scarves were made for all by the Sewaddle.

ROUND VIII
Rasvata pondered the tiny insect in front of her. She'd never been one to dirty her paws, but she had always had a soft spot for squishing bugs as a pup, and after all, she could roast it first, so its innards would be shriveled and relatively dry...or she could just slam a chunk of ice on it with Psychic, that would be fun...even better, she could pull its legs off one by one...Fufufu, the possibilities were endless! As she plotted, Rasvata's mind twitched with potential, begging for a chance to tear something apart.
Sensing imminent danger, Silkwing began to spew silk from her mouthparts, in a neat and precise movement that zigzagged to make a pattern similar to the weave of a basket, which flew towards the Vulpix and fastened itself tightly over her mouth. Trying to move her jaw, Rasvata snorted and breathed flames through her clamped lips. The silk smoldered, then burned off like cotton--not with much of an open flame, but quickly and visibly deteriorating. She stared angrily at Silkwing.
As the almost-invisible protective wall around Silkwing pulsed with light and faded, she dropped as flat as she could to the ground, willing herself to blend in with her surroundings. Her body took on a hardened texture, as her leaves and skin turned almost the same white as the chasm around her and her limbs became a bit heavier, but more durable. For all intents and purposes she was now made of the evolutionary ore that the quarry was famous for.
Furious, Rasvata conjured a mouthful of flames. As the fire licked at the edges of her maw, she breathed them in a blazing stream directed at Silkwing, who crossed her tiny, now-stony footpads to better shield her face. The blaze washed over her, but left her less scathed than she could have hoped, all things considered. Smirking, she ran forward, one foot imbibed with a nasty-looking purple aura. Silkwing reached Rasvata and slammed her hand into the Vulpix's side; Rasvata howled in pain, doubling over as the wind was knocked out of her. Silkwing retreated as Rasvata struggled to stand, and the round's end was announced.

Damage and Energy Calculations
Nasty Plot- 2% energy
String Shot- 1% energy
Flamethrower- 0% damage, 5% energy
Camouflage- 5% energy
Flamethrower- 9% damage, 4% energy
Poison Jab- 18% damage (critical), 4% energy
Notes:
-Gawd your Vulpix has a crazy mind.
-Flamethrower burned through the silk, but took extra energy, because Ninetales don't have particularly strong mouths whereas Leavanny are known for their silk weaving, therefore being capable of tightening a relatively weak mouth shut.
-Had it hit, Flamethrower would have burned.
-Light Screen wore off after the first action. The flavor suggests otherwise but it affects nothing.
-Poison Jab did not poison, but it was a critical hit.
-Silkwing did indeed become a Rock-type; I'll say this is subterranean, yeah.
Arena Notes:
- The quarry looks as if it has suffered an earthquake. The waterline has receded a bit (about 61 centimeters [metric ftw]) and cracks have appeared in the bare ground. 10-15 glowing rocks have dislodged themselves from the quarry walls and fallen to the center of the quarry. They are scattered around the center of the field like a few barricades. (such as the rocks in pewter gym in the anime) There is still a clear path between both battlers.
- The pond is mostly frozen, save for a Wailmer-sized sphere below the surface. Cracked ice with a Magikarp-sized hole in it covers the sphere. Two grooves filled with water run the length of the pool.
- There is a lerge pile of snow near the center of the frozen pool.
-Rocks are buried in the ice, and there is a large crater where Zephyr exploded.
Next Round:
- Blastoise Fortooate attacks, Legendary Seeker attacks, I ref.
