------------------------------
The lights are out. The cavernous room is eerily silent. The referee's Espeon, lighting the trainers' path with the gem on her forehead, shudders to herself apprehensively. Whose (not-so) bright idea was it to sneak into the Reading Room of Asber in the middle of the night, anyway? She certainly doesn't condone this ridiculous tomfoolery. Sighing to herself, the Espeon nudges the light switch on with her nose, and holds her breath... but no alarm goes off as the huge Chandelure-chandelier on the ceiling flickers to life to illuminate the grand central chamber, wooden bookshelves adorning the walls from floor to ceiling, with the spiraling Rayquaza staircase at one end leading to higher and higher floors. Further doubts overwhelming her as she takes in the wondrous sight, the Espeon opens her mouth to voice yet another (likely to be pointless) objection, but in her moment of hesitation Eifie swings herself impudently up to sit on the top moon of the librarian's hand-carved Cresselia desk and signals eagerly for the two trainers to start their battle.
Aisha snickers to herself as she closes her eyes to focus, a bright purple aura shimmering around her body. The Poison-type energy collects itself into the tip of her horn, manifesting into a shapeless lump of putrid, burbling fluids that she wills forward with another cackle. Forward isn't quite where the opposing Togepi is standing, though, and as the clump of poisons soars straight for one of the shelves in the TCoD Zodiac section the watching Espeon gasps in horror and hurriedly attempts to put up a shield to divert it... but to no avail. The Gunk Shot hits the books in the middle of the shelf with a sickening splatter and oozes slowly down to eat a hole through the spine of a book on the shelf below. Such priceless treasures, ruined... how could anyone have thought this was a good idea?! (Meanwhile, Eifie claps her hands with childlike glee.)
Next to the staircase, Togepi holds up his hands as a ball of ghostly energy comes into being between them, whizzing back and forth before Togepi can exert enough control over it to push it forward. His will forces even more energy into the ball, so that when it collides with Aisha it's almost as large as her, and sends the Shuppet flying back into the elaborate carving of Groudon and Kyogre waging war on the wall behind her. The impact leaves a Shuppet-shaped dent in one of Groudon's claws, obscuring the omega symbol that had been so carefully inscribed there years prior.
Once she's recovered herself, Aisha immediately devotes herself to her next cause of exacting vengeance upon Togepi for this embarrassment. She blinks her large eyes once, twice, and when she opens them again they're glowing a brilliant light blue, and she turns them on her opponent. Upon making contact, Togepi's eyes mirror the same blue colour, and all of a sudden there's a void in his memory where he could have sworn there was something before. He spends a few seconds struggling futilely to summon up another Shadow Ball, screwing his eyes shut and assuming this pose and that, but in the end he just flops down on the floor, tuckered out from his mental ordeal.
Dawn Stone glowing where it rests on a pendant on her chest, Aisha takes this moment to call up another blob of noxious goop, even larger than before, and this time it hits its mark and sends Togepi rolling back head over tiny heels, to bang the side of his shell hard on the staircase. It leaves a tiny chip in the wood that's noticeable from close up once the Togepi hops back to his feet, and after a second confirming that he still can't force himself to make another Shadow Ball he settles for simply throwing himself at his opponent instead, limbs flailing wildly as he batters both the Shuppet and himself with his very best effort at an all-out assault.
Hardly scathed, Aisha floats over to an as-yet untouched bookshelf and levitates out a copy of
Tales of a Trainer, scanning its pages with disinterest before carelessly letting it fall to the ground. Togepi runs over to a different shelf and grabs the only book he can reach,
All About Abilities, and as he opens it abruptly finds his feet clinging almost unmoveably to the ground...

Notes
- I'm pretty busy and tired for the next few days, so hopefully I will get into actual decent writing for the next reffing. Sorry :C
- Reminders to self: Shuppet (45) > Togepi (20), Dawn Stone exists, Serene Grace exists.
- Togepi's Shadow Ball was a critical hit. So was Aisha's last Gunk Shot. Jeez.
- Togepi was unable to use Shadow Ball on the second and third action due to Disable. He spent the second action trying and failing to use it, and on the third action defaulted to Struggle.
- Aisha read Tales of a Trainer this round. Togepi read All About Abilities and gained Suction Cups.
- Keldeo posts commands first next round.
