The ramen the referee has been eating seemed to have changed -- instead of a nice, big bowl of freshly made ramen like before, it is now just a small styrofoam cup filled with something that looked like instant noodles. Actually, it was instant noodles, or, more accurately, "Insta-Noodles", as depicted by the large orange letters on the cup. Seems like the referee had ran out of money -- or at least got a lot of 100 yen coins to spare. The referee took a few seconds to look up from its food and waved the referee flags. "Round start," it stated plainly and went back to eating again.

Round 10 Start
Before any of the battlers could do anything, the concrete next to Lutra exploded. A drill -- or what looked like a drill, because it was spinning too fast to tell -- burst out of the ground and crashed into Lutra, then, drilling another hole in the ground, disappeared. A "bling" followed, and a strage-looking pin fell to the ground. The pin was bright orange and, for some strange reason, has the design of a rocket with a shark's head. Almost as strange was the fact that the holes disappeared as soon as the pin fell.
Still in pain -- why did it had to be him? -- Lutra uncurled himself and looked up at the swirling pieces of concrete around him and the lileep looking smugly farther away. At least he didn't have to take a beating for no random reason anymore, the buizel reasoned and charged up energy in his paw. Phalanx wasn't about to let the otter gain the upper hand again either, and he, too, started charging energy. However, Lutra was faster, and he charged forward, paw glowing white with ice energy, and, crashing through the sharp concrete pieces, punched the lileep in the midsection. Phalanx hissed in pain as the ice energy burned his body, but he quickly retaliated. Tentacles flexing, the lileep flicked out a bunch of energy-charged seeds at the buizel. Almost simultaneously, the seeds turned into plants, and Lutra was knocked backwards by the sudden growth of greenery. The leaves cut into his sides, and the impact from the sheer force of the flying seeds sent a surge of pain through the buizel's body, and he cried out as he fell to the ground.
Lutra scrambled away from the greenery, which were slowly starting to welt due to the lack of nutrients, and sighed. One more Ice Punch it is... His paw once again glowed with energy, and the buizel ran forward again, his paw drawn back, and crashed through the floating concrete pieces. He could feel the sharp edges digging into his fur, but he didn't really care anymore, and brought his ice-cold fist into the lileep's midsection again. Phalanx hissed again, but did not fight back this time. Orders are orders, and he was a bit tired. The fossil pokemon closed its yellow eyes and rested, trying to ignore the searing pain in his midsection. Lutra, who had retreated in fear of more of those weird seeds, looked on cautiously. Mr. Tentacles is dangerous, and Lutra wasn't about to let his guard down around him again.
After a while, the lileep still hadn't moved, and Lutra peered at it closely. His trainer had mentioned something about damage caps (is that a brand of hat?), but he wasn't sure whether he had hit it or not. The lileep didn't looked very beat up, so the buizel decided to attack again just in case. Ice once again covered his fist, and the buizel ran forward, through the sharp concrete bits, and punched the lileep. In return, Lutra found himself getting a face-full of seeds that exploded into plants on contact, and the buizel stumbled backwards, glaring at the lileep. Lutra was starting to bleed from the various cuts on his shoulder, and the weird seed-plant-things
hurt.
The crowd didn't seem to mind the weird seed-plant-things though, because they were cheering at the successful Seed Bombs. Others were seriously impressed by the Ice Punches,
Phalanx, meanwhile, cringed in pain, but -- perhaps he was too numb to feel it anymore -- the Ice Punch didn't hurt as much as the previous ones did.

Notes:
- Thanks for the tips, guys! I'm currently grinding some Noise and is now zetta-high leveled. I did managed get myself a Wolf and a Mitama though, as those are supposed to help loads during the final battle.
- Due to finals (ugh), I won't be here until the 18th. Go get an e-ref if you want.
- Lutra can't tell whether he hit the damage cap or not, so he just Ice Punched again just in case. Anyway, the damage cap is 35, so two Ice Punches wouldn't have hit it anyway.
- A Shrew Wave appeared during the first action and attacked Lutra
- It dropped a Flower of Flame
- Please don't let me be the only one who thought "GIGA DRILL BREAKAAAA" when I first saw a Shrew Noise.
- The hottest types right now are Grass, Ice, and Normal in that order.
- Chill restored 10% energy.
- I am typing too many notes.
- Mike attacks first next.
