DQ: Standard week
Damage Cap: 30%
Banned Moves: OHKO's, Direct Healing
Arena: Enchanted Forest
Almost every Faerie Tale has a forest... An enchanted forest. The battle will take place in a clearing, surrounded by huge trees that are impossible to bypass. There's a small pond in the clearing's centre, providing a spot for water-bound Pokemon. The trees seem almost impervious to fire, and will not burn. Every three rounds, a pair of golden mightyena will appear from the trees, attack the battlers with one random attack, and flee.

As Ming disappears into the red beam of light, moon-panther already has her next pokémon ready to go. A vulpix materialises where Ming had previously been, to nobody’s surprise, yipping and grinning at Jin, who is still lying on its face. She looks back at her trainer, nodding at her orders while ignoring Full Metal Cookies’s, sweeps her gaze over the battlefield and up at the bright sun, then inhales deeply.
Facing Jin, she blows out a stream of flames angled right at its already-injured back. Jin squirms and writhes as much as a metal plate can, screams muffled by the grass. The flames seem hotter than they would usually be, and lick at the grass around it, causing them to smoke a bit. Fortunately for it and its team-mates, though, the fire doesn’t catch on fire, and Chaos’s flames die out to let her breathe again. Jin, too, takes this moment for a quick rest – it’s almost a relief, just lying down after all the pain it was going through, and it doesn’t feel up to doing much more even if it had the energy to. It just hurts too much to do anything.
The bright sunlight slowly fades to a less oppressive level, no longer blinding, and by the time Chaos catches her breath for a second go, the sunlight is back to normal. Chaos inhales deeply, chest expanding, and once more blows out a stream of flames. Jin’s screams are once again muffled, and it isn’t able to appreciate how the flames aren’t as hot as the other flamethrower before its screams fade away almost simultaneously with the end of the attack. It remains silent, just lying on the grass with smoke rising from its back, until Full Metal Cookies mercifully recalls it back to its pokéball.

.: Actions :.
A piplup materialises where Jin had been, chirping a threat; the effect is ruined by his unfortunately cute voice and appearance. Chaos just tsks at Jinkosen, shaking her head and smirking. Though they both know who has the advantage, Chaos is as confident as Jinkosen is. Jinkosen isn’t the only one who can take advantage of natural weaknesses, after all, and she’ll show him exactly how that is…
She closes her eyes, feeling the natural energy around her. The energy is very abundant in this clearing, although perhaps not as powerful as it would be in a forest – but it’s not just any forest. This forest is filled with more natural life energy than anywhere she can remember being, and it’s easy to draw to the air in front of her nose. Though the energy itself is invisible, the ball formed by the swirling energy brightly glows in a most appropriate green colour. Chaos suddenly turns around, seemingly whacking her tail at the ball to bat it at Jinkosen. Jinkosen is struck in the stomach, and he coughs, staggering back from the force. He then glares at Chaos, but his eyes start drooping, and his entire body seems to lose tension. Chaos turns around to face him again, confused by this new development. He yawns loudly, and the sound washing over Chaos’s sensitive ears brings along with it the irresistible urge to yawn.
Despite her anger at him for the insult of yawning in the middle of battle, Chaos can’t help but feel rather drowsy. In fact, she wants to just settle down and take a nap at this very moment – it’s not like she can’t afford to, since she’s not too concerned with her opponent – but she forces herself to remain awake. She should finish the battle first and nap later, she thinks as she runs forward (much slower than usual). She picks up speed and smashes her head with as much force as possible into Jinkosen’s stomach, right where the Energy Ball struck previously. Jinkosen gasps, coughing again and stumbling back some more, and Chaos too stumbles a bit as she tries to back off for her next attack. At this point, however, her drowsiness is too strong to be ignored, and her eyes droop shut. She settles on the ground comfortably, falling into a deep sleep.
Jinkosen gathers water from the impossibly large stores he has in his body, and screams as he shoots what appear to be rings of water in a beam, right at Chaos’s head. Chaos’s head is merely knocked off her paws, but with a murmur she automatically moves her head back to the comfortable position. Jinkosen eyes this movement with bated breath, not believing that Chaos might awaken already. He’s right; despite this attack, and her head’s newly-soaked state. Chaos remains sound asleep.
Feeling more confident now, Jinkosen repeats the attack, screaming simultaneously with the rings of water he shoots out at Chaos’s head. This time, the sound of his scream seems to truly affect Chaos, as she shifts a bit. She doesn’t wake up, however, though her facial muscles tense and relax randomly. Jinkosen can only see the water dripping from her head and her strange expressions, but he doesn’t realise what he’s managed to do: her mostly-sensible dream about running through a field has suddenly become insane, even for a dream.

This time, there is no warning.
The two mightyena, neither showing any signs of tiredness, leap out of some gap in the trees and immediately rush for the two pokémon, disregarding how these seem to be different from before. They have come to realise that the trainers will not be leaving before the battle is over, unless they can force them to, but they also know that they might have other pokémon. They need to attack, then disappear before the trainers can retaliate. So that’s what they’ll do, if it will force the trainers to leave sooner.
One turns to Jinkosen, and stands still, focusing. It gathers energy, lowering its head and growling. Then, suddenly, it bursts forward at an impossible speed. Orange energy swirls around it, burning all the grass in its path as it approaches, and it leaps at Jinkosen, slamming its entire body weight on the smaller pokémon. The energy singes Jinkosen’s skin and the mightyena presses down, snarling and panting. As the energy finally fades, Jinkosen continues lying there, as if unconscious, and satisfied, the mightyena gets up, breathing hard.
A bit slower than its companion, the other mightyena too stops before it reaches its opponent, instead drawing in energy from everything around it. The trees are too distant, but the grasses, ground, and air all provide energy it can use to shape its next move. It glares at the sleeping vulpix, then suddenly looks straight at the sky, yellowish-green light glazing from within its jaws. Then it snaps its head back down, opening its mouth. It looses the green light at Chaos, striking several tails with the beam. The last of the beam’s energy then fades.
With an exchange of glances, they both turn and run back for the trees.
Chaos is too deeply immersed in her dream to follow moon-panther’s orders, fascinated by the absolute weirdness and totally unaware of her surroundings, except for a vague sense that her tails have been hit by something, and they hurt. She can’t bring herself to care, though, feeling dizzy even in her dream, and everything’s spinning too quickly.
This gives Jinkosen plenty of time to groan and slowly struggle to a sitting position. He breathes hard, feeling burnt and bruised all over his front, even his face, to a lesser extent. He winces with every movement, slowly trying to stand. He trembles from the effort, not wanting to follow his next orders… but he really has no choice, not if he’s going to avenge his comrade. He runs, face twitching with every movement, slowly at first. He quickly speeds up, however, and as his muscles loosen from running in circles around his enemy, he runs even faster than he could before. He stops, right in front of Chaos, panting. He’ll recover from the run quickly, with his loosened muscles benefiting him in the long run, but for now he sort of regrets it.
Chaos mutters under her breath, prompting Jinkosen to prepare to dive for the ground if she turns out to have woken up. She stands, but her eyes remain closed, and she sways a bit from her dizziness. Then, however, she suddenly darts forward and tackles Jinkosen in the stomach. Jinkosen takes a step back reflexively, wincing more because he strained the injury those mightyena bastards gave him than the pain from Chaos’s attack. Chaos herself just drops in place, and her breathing evens out.
Jinkosen takes a few steps back, not wanting to be too close to his opponent in case she does something unexpected like that again. He draws more water from within his internal stores, and draws it up to his throat. Eyes widening, he realises it’s come up before he was ready, and the forceful jet of water practically explodes from his mouth before he can even aim. It arcs through the air, over Chaos and merely splashing her a bit, nearly toward the trees. He’s also made another mistake—not ready to attack yet, he hadn’t planted his feet in the ground, and is forced to backwards. Then, off-balance, he topples onto his back, at which point the water runs out and abruptly stops. Some remaining water trickles out of his beak and onto his feathers.
Blushing, and quite glad that his opponent wasn’t awake to taunt him, he sits back up.
Muttering some more, Chaos stands up again, though too relaxed to be awake. She continues muttering under her breath. Jinkosen, concerned, stands up so he can better take anything she throws at him (although he’d rather not get hit with anything at all; maybe he’d change his wish if he knew what is to happen). Then Chaos suddenly lets out a sharp howl, pointing her nose at the sky.
It’s fortunate that she has her eyes closed, or she might have walked away with permanent damage. The sun’s light suddenly brightens, as if focused onto the field by an unknown force. The air, still cooling after the previous sunny weather wore off, once again starts to heat back up.
Jinkosen glares at Chaos. He’s going to do it right this time, sun be damned. First, he plants his feet firmly in the ground. Then he aims his beak at Chaos, so that he’s sure he’s going to get a direct hit. Only then does he draw water from the condensed water deposits in his body, which flows into his throat, and forces itself out of his mouth from the sheer pressure building up. The water strikes Chaos’s back properly this time, sure to leave a bruise. It thins to a trickle after the initial burst. Jinkosen, though, is still unhappy; he may have hit her, yes, but he was aiming for the head. In his eyes, he still missed.

Chaos continues to mutter under her breath, standing up once more. Jinkosen eyes her wearily, not liking that deep breath she’s taking. Nor does he like what she breathes out, for that matter; a stream of flames licks the air and his skin, singing and blackening his feathers. Smoke rises from his burnt feathers and skin. He glares and winces, but knows just how to soothe his pain and benefit himself at the same time. He dances on the grass, surprisingly graceful for one so injured, and the few clouds in the sky enlarge and spread. Clouds from around the area also gather over the clearing, blocking the sun and casting the whole clearing in shade. Jinkosen feels one raindrop fall on his cheek, and looks up happily. This is closely followed by several more droplets, and more, until it is unquestionably a downpour, soaking through the trainers’ clothes and Chaos’s fur. They may be uncomfortable, but Jinkosen most certainly is not. He enjoys the cool rain, soothing the pain from the flames.
The rain significantly cools the air, to a level more comfortable than direct sunlight, but the humans are hard-pressed to keep from shivering. The rain doesn’t help matters; overall, the rain is as uncomfortable as the weather condition it replaced.
Once again, Chaos is distracted by her dream, and too disconnected to her own body to actually do anything. Jinkosen takes this time to sit down and relax, closing his eyes. He believes this is a well-deserved rest, and feels a bit better afterward – although it doesn’t do anything for his injuries, at least internally he’s alright. When he feels he’s rested enough for the moment, he stands back up, chirping cheerfully.
At the same time, Chaos stands, muttering darkly. She draws in natural energy, automatically directing it to the air in front of her. A ball of green light forms in front of her face, and rockets forward at Jinkosen. Jinkosen is knocked off his feet, screaming out of shock, and lands on his back, dazed. Shaking his head, he stands up, and gathers water to his throat. He screams again, spitting out rings of water, which strikes Chaos as she settles back down. Surprisingly, the scream still doesn’t wake her up, nor does the force of the water.

Chaos, surprisingly, is silent. Her eyes open, though she doesn’t move at first. Jinkosen eyes her warily, dismayed that she woke up already, but he knows he can do something about that, no problem. Chaos gets to her feet, wondering why she’s so tired, but she smirks when she sees Jinkosen is so much more injured than before. That could explain things, she supposes, but she hates how it’s raining.
With a sigh, she gathers more energy from the forest, shaping it into the usual green orb. The orb casts a green light on her face, making the shadows dance, and seem even brighter because of the lack of sun. Jinkosen, eyes wide, tries to scramble backward, but Chaos pokes it with her paw, shooting it toward the piplup. The ball crashes into Jinkosen’s already-injured stomach, prompting a gasp. With a squeak, Jinkosen falls onto his butt.
He makes a childish scowl, and Chaos grins at him… until he yawns again, showing her just what he (wishes he could) think of her attack. She snarls, but the yawn is contagious and she has to yawn back. Her eyelids droop, but she draws more energy from her surroundings, into a sphere. The sphere flies at Jinkosen without extra prompting. Here he realises his mistake of continuing to sit, believing it would stop him from being hit in the same spot all the time; instead, the ball strikes his face directly, nearly blinding him from the brightness of the energy.
As he tries to blink away the spots dancing before his eyes, Chaos drops to the ground, asleep once more.
Groaning, he stands again, drawing water into his throat. He screeches at Chaos, firing rings of water around the concentrated sound waves, and splashes Chaos across the side of her face. It doesn’t manage to wake her, nor does it disorient her further, despite the proximity to her ear; in fact, it has just the opposite effect. Her strange dreams become a little less weird.
She murmurs under her breath, summoning orbs of light into existence around her. The dancing orbs swirl around her, moving away from her in a swirling beam of orbs, arcing toward Jinkosen. Jinkosen watches in awe, chirping in delight as the orbs surround him instead and dance around him. The randomness of Sleep Talk backfired on her, he thinks, watching them.
He hopes that they’ll remain there for him to watch just after this one little thing, though. Tearing his eyes away from the orbs (as much as he can, as there are some in front of him, dancing distractingly), he spits out more rings of water as he screams, although the pitch isn’t as high as usual, and he quickly returns his attention to the orbs. Despite his lack of attention, the rings of water strike Chaos head-on, which may later form a nice, ring-shaped bruise.

Chaos murmurs something softly, shifting around a bit in her sleep, but she doesn’t get up. Jinkosen tilts his head curiously, thinking that the murmur doesn’t sound quite the same as everything else she said while asleep. (Well, the tone doesn’t. He can never quite catch what she’s trying to say.) He’s quickly distracted by one of the dancing lights, however, and pays her no mind… until she says something, in a soft tone, that he swears is his name. Jaw dropping, he stares at her.
Wait, what?
She murmurs some other inaudible things, and though he returns to watching the lights, he sort of can hear her talking. He hears his name again, a whimper, and a few confusing phrases that just seem weird out of context. Probably just her dream, maybe, though what is he doing in there? Then, quite oddly, he hears a declaration of her love, and he stares at her. It’s only then that he realises just how beautiful she is, even more so than the lights, and especially against the dreary backdrop of the rain. Her vibrant fur, plastered to her skin, even looks kind of…
Jinkosen shakes his head, embarrassed, and returns to watching the lights. He doesn’t really want to make his thoughts obvious to the trainers, watching, or that referee who might even be recording all of this or something. As he watches two of the lights seemingly dancing together, something suddenly clicks, and he turns back to Chaos.
Well, damn. Their feelings… they’re mutual.
Chaos mutters some more, but this time Jinkosen is confident that he knows what it’s about. It’s him, of course. He blushes a bit, wondering what dream she might be having – well, he thinks he has an idea. She stands up, and he wonders if maybe she’s going to act it out – but it’s kind of embarrassing right in front of their trainers, and he’s not really ready for that yet.
She opens her mouth, chest expanding as she inhales deeply. She then looses a large, white-hot blast of flames that expands into a strange shape, vaguely like a star. The rain tears through the flames and cools it down a bit, but it can’t stop the blast from enveloping Jinkosen, burning through his feathers even with the rain cooling and trying to extinguish it. Jinkosen squeaks, cringing, but he’s relieved to find that this probably won’t cause any permanent damage… though with his already bad condition, it’s not really helpful. He only wonders for a moment about why she might’ve attacked him, as he quickly finds an excuse:
She attacked in her sleep, so of course it doesn’t really count. She probably forced herself to make it fire, since she knew it wouldn’t hurt that badly. That must be it, Jinkosen thinks, so it would be just wrong to attack her like this. He admires a light that dances across his vision, and thinks they would be prettiest dancing around Chaos. It’s not that her appearance is lacking, of course not! It would just enhance the beauty she already has.
So distracted is he that he doesn’t notice the mighyena until he hears the snarl.
He turns, eyes wide, toward the trees. The mightyena stalk toward him and his love, one snarling, the other grinning. “We’re ba~ck,” one sings at him. Jinkosen looks around helplessly, seeing only the lights – and his beautiful, helplessly vulnerable Chaos sleeping on the grass.
One mightyena tears forward while the other digs into the mud, quickly disappearing from view. The mightyena still above ground runs at the two pokémon, and Jinkosen can only pray that it’s not Chaos – he’ll protect her with his own body, if he has to! But the mightyena is too fast, and by the time it’s clear that he’s going for Chaos, there’s nothing Jinkosen can do.
“No!” he screams, rushing forward to stop the mightyena as it leaps. But just then, a mightyena rips out of the ground and tackles Jinkosen, pinning him to the ground. The other mightyena pounces on Chaos, using its body weight to crush her back. Chaos awakens with a yelp of pain, which seems to ring in Jinkosen’s ears. Chaos is hurt… and he can’t help her. Why is this? he demands silently, still lying on the grass as the mightyena both get up off their victims and run off.
Slowly, Jinkosen pushes himself to his feet, but it’s so difficult – every movement sends pain shooting through his body, but he must do it. He must. Chaos, too, does the same, hissing as she stands up. She glares after the mightyena. Who do they think they are? The sound of Jinkosen’s voice, asking her if she’s alright, draws her attention to the piplup. She’s alarmed to find him walking toward her, and quickly gathers energy from the forest as before. A green ball of grass energy forms again, and shoots forward to strike Jinkosen in the stomach.
With a cry, Jinkosen falls to the ground, cushioned by the soft grass and mud. He gasps. He’s glad to know that she’s okay, enough to attack, but why must she do that to him? This time… this time, she’s not asleep, so it has to have been on purpose. Didn’t she say she loved him? It was during her sleep, so it must’ve been her true feelings unmasked. So it must be real! Much slower than before, he tries to stand, but just moving hurts so badly. Still, he perseveres, and manages to stand. His legs shake underneath him, ready to let him collapse. But he won’t!
Jinkosen stares at her, searching her impassive face for answers. Why is she attacking him like this?
It’s just her way of showing her love, Jinkosen decides. Look, she even gave him the gift of these beautiful orbs, so a part of her is with him… she doesn’t realise that it hurts, really, and he doesn’t mind. Actually… as long as it’s her, he wouldn’t mind falling in battle. He just stands there, waiting, wings spread wide, welcoming the next thing she decides to throw at him. If the only thing separating them is her want for victory, she can have it.
Chaos stares, still not quite getting it, but then smirks. If he’s going to leave himself wide open like that, that’s his loss. She’s surprised he managed to get her so tired and injured (probably with a LOT of help from those mightyena), so she wants to end it quickly. He’s going to lose.
She finds something slightly odd, though. It might be just the rain – but is he crying?
