Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
Dragon vs. Skymin

This has gotten closer than I thought it would. We have to be extra careful now, Chirin.
First, I want you to use Discharge and see if you can't aggravate that paralysis back up while doing some damage. Then quickly, use Magnet Rise to get off that slippery ground. Then Discharge again.
Discharge ~ Magnet Rise ~ Discharge
Valour's gonna have a rabid hatred of sheep after this battle, isn't she?

Dragon vs. Skymin, Round Six
Pre-Round Stats
Team Dragon (1/1 Pokémon Remaining)
Valour (F) [Torrent]
Health: 54%
Energy: 10%
Status: Attack +2, Speed -2, Accuracy -1; Paralyzed (light); too furious to realize how dog-tired she is
Valour's Commands: Chill ~ Frustration/Chill ~ Frustration
Team Skymin (1/1 Pokémon Remaining)
Chirin (M) [Static]
Health: 61%
Energy: 36%
Status: Attack +1, Defense +1, Special Defense +1, Speed -1; fairly tired, still sort of wet and praying for more misfires
Chirin's Commands: Discharge ~ Magnet Rise ~ Discharge
Team Skymin’s Reflect: 3 actions remaining
Arena: Floating Platform
The floating platform is... just a floating platform. The platform is tiled, and is around a meter thick and ten meters across in all directions. So don't try breaking through it. If you fall off the edge, you take 10% damage and come back to the middle of the platform. No special things.
Round Six: Begin
Valour heaves an exasperated sigh and flops backward onto the floor. She wants to kill Chirin, really she does. And after she kills him, she’ll probably kill him again. Then one or two more times after that, just to make sure. And once more for good luck. But she’s just too exhausted to move at the moment. Loath as she is to sit still when she could be committing first-degree murder, she doesn’t have much say in the matter. She closes her eyes and tries to relax, hoping fervently that her evil archenemy won’t take advantage of her downtime.
This hope, alas, is quite in vain. Her rest is rudely disturbed by the all too familiar ominous cracking and popping of highly-charged sheep wool, followed by a fresh wave of crippling, electricity-induced pain. The swift discharge of lightning is quick to disrupt her muscles afresh—just when she was really starting to feel better, dammit!—and leave her twitching on the floor yet again.
Screaming bloody murder now, Valour leaps to her feet in a surprising display of coordination for a paralyzed and battered Spraylet. Her coordination deserts her almost immediately as soon as she takes a few running steps forward, however—her legs give out and she slips and falls, landing hard on her face. Chirin bites his lip. Look at how she just took a tumble like that. And she was on the dry part of the floor, too. Imagine what might happen to him if he made a misstep here, on the drenched tile. Why, he could slide right off the edge of the platform and into nothingness! Not in the mood to take that particular risk today, the Mareep takes a moment to charge his wool as much as he can. He continues to build up charge, attempting to turn his own little body into a living electromagnet with polarity opposite to the earth’s. A few seconds later he succeeds, and his hooves leave the ground as he begins to levitate. He floats up for a good few feet before judging himself to be a safe distance above the wet ground, and he looks down at the still screaming and thrashing Valour. He’s pretty sure she can still sort of fly, so he might not be too safe up here, but at least he won’t slide on the slippery ground!
Chirin’s assessment is quite right—Valour can still fly, if she really sets her mind to it. Screams still streaming from her beak she gets up again and beats her wings frantically. All of her tiredness is completely forgotten again as she rises up into the air and heads straight for Chirin. The shimmering golden barrier around him—a complete sphere instead of a dome, now that he’s left the ground—is beginning to fade a little bit, but it’s still just substantial enough to impede Valour’s progress somewhat as she tears wildly through it and at Chirin. As a result a good number of her strikes and slashes are softened, but she doesn’t care. She’s hitting him and beating him and making him hurt, and there isn’t anything else she could possibly care about right now. As Valour finally pulls back and the reflect fades away, finally spent, the battered but still floating sheep strikes back. Another wicked and sudden discharge of lightning strikes Valour mid-flight, sending her crashing back to the ground in agony.

Ref's Notes
-Both Discharges aggravated Valour’s paralysis further, which really sucks for her because it would’ve gone away this round if left alone. :/
-Discharge interrupted Valour’s chilling, causing her to regain less energy than normal.
-Valour was fully paralyzed on the second action.
-Skymin attacks first next round.
