Bees' disgruntledness was only exacerbated as nausea welled up in his gut and pain crawled through his body, a ragged cough forcing itself up his throat. His opponent's persistent consciousness aside, the toxins coursing through his body were really ruffling his feathers (or would have been were he still in his original form). Closing his eyes, he drifted into a temporary dormant state and let his immune system take over, putting it into overdrive and rapidly purging the contaminant from his body.

While that was going on, Effie found herself feeling strangely vulnerable with her protective, albeit unwieldy, cocoon of ice now missing from around her arms and torso. She mustered a great well of energy and focused, beads of golden light ebbing to the surface of her body and condensing in a glittering barrier around her.

Her defensive manouevre came just in time, as Bees awoke from his convalescent stupor with a bloodthirsty roar. Effie shrank timidly away from the deceptively fierce dragon before her as his eyes lit up an ominous red and a spine-chilling shriek issued forth from his throat, bursts of draconic energy accompanying the sound as it reverberated through the ETERNAL DIMENSIONAL VOID. As the pulses washed over her, much of their potency sloughed off on her new sparkly barrier, resulting only in minor damage. She breathed a sigh of relief at getting through such a vicious assault virtually unscathed; perhaps a little rest was in order to calm her nerves. She promptly took one, squeezing her eyes shut tight and relaxing, her vigour gradually returning into the bargain.

Again her sloth was not to go unpunished, as Bees' hands came together and he summoned an orb of darkness between his palms. Tossing the shadowy sphere up and down in his claw, he sized up the distance and hurled it, sending it streaking ominously through the air towards its target. Effie's eyes opened just in time to see it barreling towards her. Panicked, she searched for the closest thing to hand to divert the incoming projectile, but found only the impenetrable darkness of the ETERNAL DIMENSIONAL VOID. An idea came to her, though, and with a smile she compressed that very abyssal darkness into a shadowy orb of her own, hurling it back at the one zooming toward her. Sadly for her, one intangible clump of shadows simply passed through the other, sending each on its merry way to its target. Bees came off worst, his new typing reacting badly to that of the attack, while Effie was again spared the brunt of the strike by her faithful shield.

With that, another transformation took place. In a flash Bees had become a huge, rugged, quadrupedal beast, its masculinity much better befitting him than that of his last two forms. Effie, meanwhile, had become a fluffy little hedgehog, one that was incredibly pleased at the inconvenient ice gloves that had plagued her now being mere pools of meltwater at her feet.

Superbird

delighted to be free.
Status: surrounded by Aqua Ring (+1% health per action), protected by Light Screen (3 more actions)
Light Screen ~ Chill ~ Shadow Ball​

Calculations
Bees’ health: 71% - 9% (Shadow Ball) - 3% (Leech Seed) = 59%
Bees’ energy: 34% - 4% (Refresh) - 3% (Dragon Pulse) - 4% (Shadow Ball) = 23%
Effie’s health: 43% - 5% (Dragon Pulse) - 4% (Shadow Ball) + 3% (Leech Seed) + 3% (Aqua Ring) = 40%
Effie’s energy: 35% - 1% (Light Screen) + 10% (Chill) - 4% (Shadow Ball) - 3% (Aqua Ring maintenance) - 3% (Light Screen maintenance) = 34%

Referee’s notes

• this round, Bees became Terrakion and Effie became Shaymin.
• Effie’s freezing wore off at the end of the round.
• since Shadow Balls are incorporeal, it seems a stretch to say they could collide or deflect each other, thus they passed right through each other and hit their targets.
• Superbird attacks first next round.

We may be behind on health, Effie, but we're ahead on Energy. Anyway, while we can, we're going to go for the quick KO, and try to win this the same way Eldarach won our second battle in this year's ASB tournament - you're going to Giga Drain (Energy) your way to victory. Use Seed Flare if draining energy is impossible for some reason (though it should still damage a Substitute), and Chill if Bees uses Protect or Detect.

Also, we're not really going to need the Light Screen this round, so if you can I want you to dissolve it on Action 1 so as not to meaninglessly expend the energy necessary to maintain it.

Dissolve Light Screen ~ Giga Drain (Energy) / Seed Flare / Chill x3
