- Oh,
ewww. Covered in poison slime with a bite taken out of his left ear. Badly poisoned (3% next round).
Neko sure doesn't seem to be enjoying his slimy, toxic present. Amp smirks as the eevee scrapes at his soiled coat, letting out small whines of unhappiness as he shakes gobbets of sludge onto the floor. Doesn't like poisoning much, does he? Well, Amp likes it even
less, and she's about to make her displeasure known again, and as painfully as before. Rushing at Neko, the mareep headbutts him straight in the face, ignoring the toxic that gets smeared into her fleece as a result--it's her own poison, after all. Neko falls backwards with a screech, and Amp doesn't give him the opportunity to recover, setting upon him with gleefully vicious kicks and even the occasional bite.
As Amp's anger wanes, she falls back, panting but satisfied. She feels great now, her bloodlust slated, although her little rampage was certainly... draining. While the sheep rests, Neko pulls himself together, getting shakily back to his feet. He can feel some new bruises coming on, but he'll have to worry about them later. For now, he has a job to do. Closing his eyes, Neko spreads energy throughout his entire body, a brilliant white glow suffusing the air around him as his very fur begins to shine. The eevee takes one large, deliberate step to the left and in doing so leaves the glow behind. Standing next to him is something like a ghost of the eevee, a construction of pure energy that looks identical to its creator. The shining eevee stands calmly at Neko's side, for the moment
By now, Amp has started in on her next attack. This one, too, is familiar, and the sheep falls easily into the rhythm of her dance. Her hooves drum out an irregular beat on the tiles as she jumps and spins, calling for clouds to once more cover the burning sun. The weather heeds her wishes, the warm glow suffusing the air in the tower vanishing as dense clouds billow in the air far overhead and presently begin spitting their burdern of water down on the pokémon below. Neko doesn't really mind, as the rain starts to clean the toxic out of his fur, but he's not about to let the earlier facade attack go unpunished. The cream-colored tip of his bushy tail begins to glow, shedding a steady rain of energy sparks, and Neko spins about, dragging a glowing arc through the air with his tail and scattering the sparks in all directions. They grow as they spread outwards, only picking up momentum as they go, until they form a flock of blazing stars made out of pure energy. Several of these slam into Amp, slicing chunks out of her luxurious fleece, while most shoot on into the darkened corners of the tower, expiring against its stone walls.
The swift attack stung, and Amp is feeling more than a little tired by now, but she's not about to give up just yet. With the clouds overhead pouring down rain, she feels it's the perfect time to let her stored charge out and put Neko in some serious pain. The sheep's fleece crackles with energy as she sends a streamer of ions snaking up into the clouds above Neku, priming a path to bring a lightning bolt thundering down. Her call is answered with as a searing bolt of electricity shoots down directly at Neko--only to be thwarted as the substitute shoves its master out of the way, taking the attack itself. The thunder hits home with a roar that seems to shake the very air, and the substitute disappears in a flash of light; the mighty electric attack was more than enough to get rid of it. Amp, her head hanging and her legs shaking a little with exertion, is far from pleased to see her attack absorbed so easily; Neko, on the other hand, isn't thrilled to see his substitute go. Nevertheless, he's got to turn his irritation into arrogance and grab Amp's attention while he can. Feigning nonchalance, Neko makes an offhand comment about the sorry state of Amp's fleece after that swift attack while running a paw through the thick ruff around his own neck. The mareep glares at him, but Neko refuses to meet her eyes, sighing about how he wishes he could find an actually
challenging battle. Surely there must be someone out there as powerful as him.
As Neko's self-aggrandizing speech goes on, Amp grows more and more incensed. She can't quite forget her fatigue, but most rational thought is swept away in the face of Neko's unselfconscious arrogance. Thinks he's all that, does he? That eevee's going to
pay... if Amp doesn't collapse from exhaustion first.
