The Omskivar and Wargle promptly order commands, and after several moments of silence, glance awkwardly at Meursault. The trainer is standing there, staring blankly into space in Ami’s general direction. After a while, finally, the referee prods him, and after a few minutes of not responding, he recalls his Piplup and vanishes into thin air. Which makes everyone stare for a second, until they remember that this is Hogwarts and magic is everywhere. There’s certainly a reasonable explanation somewhere. For now, everyone just shuffles around to fill the open spot, and Hagrid moves the magical barrier around accordingly, bringing Tye back into the fray once again.

Porkpie glances briefly at where Ami used to be, and then turns to Tye, and slowly lets out a small pinkish bubble that starts to float lazily through the air. It’s the same type of attack that put Glauert to sleep last round, and Tye, of course, knew this – and he wasn’t going to let himself fall into the same trap. Smirking, the Clefable took a wide stance, thrusting his arms out on either side of himself, and a translucent, cream-colored sphere began to appear around his body. The Yawn bubble hit the Safeguard and popped then and there, and Tye sent a smug glance towards Porkpie – that sort of elementary tactic wasn’t going to work on him.
But Tye had only a second to give that glance before he found himself wincing in sharp pain as Glauert let out a startlingly loud, sudden noise. Porkpie, too, cringed a little, and instinctively looked straight at the pokémon that had released the Snore – but Glauert was still fast asleep, letting out nothing more than a small twitch of pain, probably in response to his burn’s residual pain. Porkpie shook her head; Glauert was still out, and she had bigger problems in the opponent who was actually conscious. And so, the Tepig sprinted towards Tye, her tail coating itself in a thin sheath of metal, and after an enormous jump she began to spin horizontally in the air, smacking Tye with great precision before landing somewhat clumsily nearby.
The Steel-type attack caught Tye off-guard, and hurt more than he thought it ought to – attacks should never hurt him, anyway. And so he took measures to prevent his opponent from trying that again, by harnessing his latent psychic abilities and lifting Porkpie into the air. As soon as her feet left the ground, the Tepig began to scramble anxiously, but she was helpless. Tye smiled, and turned his attention to his still-sleeping opponent. It was time to exploit the Sleep Tye had caused last round.
Keeping one arm outstretched to his side in order to maintain his hold on Porkpie, Tye pointed his other hand towards Glauert, and waved it around a little bit. In response, a thin, pinkish, wispy tendril began to form between his hand and Glauert’s head. After a short moment, dark purple orbs began to pull themselves out of Glauert’s body, the Skrelp shuddering a little with each one, traveling quickly up the tendril and fading into Tye’s body. But that stimulation, plus his new lack of a dream, was just enough to make Glauert reopen his eyes. He blinked twice, and slowly glanced around before realizing where he was.
Meanwhile, Tye sighed in relief from the energy he had just stolen. The battle would hopefully be smooth sailing from here – with his trainer’s help, he might be able to turn his two opponents against each other––
The Clefable suddenly crumpled to the ground, pushing himself back onto his feet only after a brief moment of wondering what just happened, and why the back of his head felt so painful. He shot a glance at the trapped Porkpie, only to realize that the piglet pokémon wasn’t as trapped as he’d thought – while he’d been focused on Glauert, the Tepig had drifted close enough to release another Iron Tail, and was now leering at Tye with a spiteful yet smug grin. Tye glared back for a moment, until Porkpie glanced behind her captor. Suddenly, Tye’s eyes went wide, but he had no time to react before a seething wave of poison slammed into his back, forcing him into a kneel from sheer pain. The toxins were somehow sinking into his skin, and that poison flowing through his veins, that his Magic Guard was blocking from dealing any harm, suddenly began to have an effect. Immediately, Tye’s body began to hurt from everywhere – he felt a universal pain, and yet fatigue, as though he was being eaten from everywhere by insects but was unable to move in his defense. Everything seemed to be falling apart for a brief moment, before he managed to regain his composure and take a step backwards, reaffirming his will to win this battle.

Referee Notes
~Given that Tye began Telekinesis when Porkpie was close to him, and that pokémon can change their position slightly while levitating via Telekinesis, Porkpie’s Iron Tail hit on the third action. However, it did less damage than usual because Porkpie was unable to get momentum beforehand.
~Porkpie will continue to levitate the next time she enters the battlefield.
~Glauert woke up on action 3. Not quickly enough to use his attack on action 2, unfortunately – the Dream Eater was mostly what jolted him awake.
~Tye hit the damage cap from Venoshock on Action 3.
~Next round, Porkpie gets a breather. Wargle, pathos, and Murkrow will command their pokémon in that order.
