Darksong and Scyther command their Pokemon once more, both starting to get a bit frantic as their Pokemon tire. The ground beneath Bang is somewhat muddy, what with all the Water Pulses crashing toward it.

Squirtle nods to his Trainer and turns toward Bang, first running forward, then blasting water towards the ground to gain speed. He tackles Bang and jumps backward off of it back to where he was before. Bang breathes out, the air knocked out of it somewhat. There is now a shallow puddle in front of it, where Squirtle had propelled itself forwards.

Bang rushes forward and moves back again, catching Squirtle's eye. Its own eyes start to glow an odd red as they make eye contact, Squirtle remembering the move from before. Waves of energy rush from Bang towards Squirtle, and they sink into him. He tries to look away, but finds it too late as he slips onto his side, snoring lightly.

Bang chimes quietly, pleased with his handiwork. Now Squirtle can feel what it did, and be safely out of the way. The referee frowns. There's been a lot of naps in this match; the next pair better not use sleep status moves or she might go insane.

Summoning up energy from the air, Bang creates a small spark in front of its face and gathers more energy to make it grow. When it is about the size of one of its nubs, Bang focuses the spark on Squirtle and it turns into a beam, crackling towards Squirtle and hitting him on the chest. He cries out in his sleep, and turns over so his shell is facing Bang. Bang still has some sparks floating around it, and is noticeably crackling with them.

Squirtle slowly flips over, facing Bang again, and mutters some unintelligible words, likely gibberish. Bang leans forwards, interested in what he might be saying, when Squirtle lets out a loud snore and startles Bang into rushing back and tripping over itself. Glaring at Squirtle, Bang moves forwards again, only interested in hurting him now.

Bang's eyes glow red for a second, before paling into a deep pink. Aura of the same colour forms and covers Squirtle, and he is tossed around like a ragdoll in the air for a second before being slammed down on the ground. Squirtle whimpers and a frown crosses his face, before his features soften and he is calmly asleep again. The curtain of water covers him a second before lifting, slightly soothing his wounds.

Squirtle is silent a second, and Bang lets its guard down to enjoy the peace, when Squirtle again snores loudly and suddenly, a long annoying sound that makes Bang flinch. Bang makes a metallic scratching sound, thoroughly annoyed with Squirtle. How long would it take for it to die, already?

Sorry Dragon, this is fun! x3~

Okay, Bang. Let's try this out. First, just Chill, since the Squirtle will likely be asleep. Then, use Calm Mind again, and then another Psychic.

It's just a few hours to noon, and the Trainers are visibly worked up, the referee and Pokemon all tired in some way. The arena gets a bit warmer under the sun, and the murky water in the pool reflects the sunlight into the referee's eyes, making her move a bit to the side, swearing. The Trainers give their commands, and the Pokemon jump to their orders!

Or not, for Squirtle. He opens his eyes slightly and Bang tenses, letting out a kind of annoyed groan as Squirtle again snores loudly. Seriously, what is that going to do to it?

It settles onto its side in the air, deciding to have a quick rest. Again, if that's the only thing Squirtle's going to do, might as well take a little rest of its own.. The referee holds in the urge to yell loudly and wake both the battlers up, instead sitting down cross legged. If the boring sleepfest continues, she would go to sleep herself, she swore.

Squirtle has retreated into its shell, probably deciding that there are more comfortable ways to sleep than on his side. A loud, echoing snore comes from inside, making Bang twitch, and float back upright. Squirtle had disturbed its rest.. but that was okay, since it was almost done, anyways.

Bang starts to gather its thoughts, tuning out the world and focusing its mental power. A pale pink, almost invisible aura is covering Bang now, the only visible signs of its heightened mental power. Turning towards the shell of Squirtle, it waits expectantly..

And receives another loud snore in return. Bang twitches; no matter how many times it hears that, it probably won't get used to it. Calling up the aura around it, Bang's eyes glow a deep pink, and the aura around it glows more obviously. Squirtle is covered in the same colour aura once more, and slammed on the ground three times in succession.

Squirtle comes out of his shell and groans, still asleep. From the restless way he's moving, it won't take much to wake him, maybe just a loud voice or careless movement. Keeping that in mind, the aura fades from both Squirtle and Bang, the latter quietly floating back to its place across from Squirtle.

As it settles into place, the curtain of water gently brushes over Squirtle one last time, before collapsing and evaporating a few feet away. The green aura around Bang also starts to fade, before dissolving into the air, all trace of either gone.

Okay, Bang, now that you're winning in Energy, we should be good to go. You might want to refresh your Safeguard while Squirtle is still asleep so you can't snooze again. Then use Psychic to take advantage of your stat boost, and finally, Future Sight.

OK, first, chill. Then, use a Mirror Coat (It's decreased priority, remember). Lastly, finish it all off (hopefully) with a hydro pump.

The sun is very much in the eyes of every human on the field, and both Trainers put a hand up to block it as they give out commands. It isn't, however, hot or bright enough to mimic the effects of Sunny Day, which the referee is glad for.

Squirtle twitches, hearing his Trainer's voice and wanting to respond, but.. He blinks away sleep from his eyes, deciding to get up. But the ground is actually very comfortable, and not too hot or cold where he is.. Letting out a small yawn, Squirtle closes his eyes, promising to get up later.

Bang blinks, gathering its psychic power and letting it leak out of it in a green aura. From the referee's mound and anywhere else, Bang looks to be glowing very faintly, a light green covering it. It pulls back the excess energy, and now looks to be a very faint green. Looking over at its opponent, Bang notes that Squirtle is finally awake with a grumble.

Squirtle has pushed himself up onto his hind legs, and is stretching out his arms a bit drowsily. He has subconsciously heard his Trainer's commands, and well, although another nap sounds good, he has to keep rolling. Concentrating on the image of a bright mirror, Squirtle starts to shimmer, and a kind of reflective coating covers him completely. Turning towards Bang, Squirtle gives it a look that says 'do your worst'.

Bang eyes the new, incredibly reflective Squirtle suspiciously. With a kind of shrug, Bang lets its psychic energy leak out again, covering Squirtle over its reflective energy with a pink aura. Bang's eyes glow a pink the same colour, and it throws Squirtle up and down a few times, before releasing the aura and drawing it back.

Squirtle gets up again, the coat of energy having absorbed some of the blow. His shining energy concentrates in his palm, sliding away from the rest of his body to form a ball in his palm. All of this takes about two seconds, and Squirtle throws the ball towards Bang. It elongates into a thin beam that almost cuts into Bang, who screeches with the force of it.

Wincing, Bang draws up what it can of its energy, and looks into the future, its eyes blurring. Bang can blurrily see another Pokemon in its place, a gray blot that could be anything. Bang gets a distinct feeling that the blot is not it, and turns towards the blue shape that is most definitely Squirtle. It sends all the energy it can muster at it, before its eyes refocus, once more in the present. Bang blinks, barely remembering what happened, and turns to face Squirtle wearily.

Squirtle looks towards his weak, battered opponent with a confident smirk, and draws a thick column of water from the pool. Pointing it towards Bang with a laugh, Squirtle sends the column full blast towards it, blasting the poor Bronzor onto its back. Crying out, it slips into unconsciousness, hoping it did well for its Trainer..

Squirtle cuts the blast off, obviously the victor. He laughs and grins at his Trainer, who gives him a thumbs-up. Darksong rushes onto the field, smiling at the fainted Bang, and recalls it into its Pokeball. She walks back toward her side of the field, the green aura still hanging around where her next Pokemon will be sent out.

A sudden flash catches everyone by surprise, and the circle of light around the field erases itself, the effects of Bang's Imprisonment gone. Squirtle can feel something that was missing come back, and he laughs happily.

Oh. I thought Mirror Coat was on that list. Guess that overlooking something CAN be a mistake. Sorry, Bang, I'm not that good at this yet... The best I can do is send out Cicada, my Scyther.

The next round begins with a kind of grumble from Darksong, as she tries to remember which of the two Pokeballs left on her belt is the right one. Squirtle, Scyther and the referee wait patiently as she holds one up triumphantly, and throws it into the arena, into the green misty aura. Rather ironically, the Pokemon forms is a Scyther, who gives an evil glare to her opponent and his Trainer. She knows what about to happen.. The referee nods to the Trainers, and once again, the give their commands to the Pokemon.

Off in a flash, the Scyther (no, not the Trainer), Cicada, takes off around the ring. She circles Squirtle, who is rather put off by this show of speed. The circle starts to move away from him, until a ring of five Cicadas surrounds him about ten feet away. Cicada doesn't even look very tired, he notes with a wail, and looks around hopefully, maybe to find one moving a scythe that the others aren't?

Behind Squirtle, the real Cicada makes eye contact with the clone across from her, and every other clone does the same, looking at the one across from them. Squirtle is now thoroughly confused, and gets rather upset as all together, the Cicadas lift a scythe, and using the tip, scratch a spot behind their head.

Just taking a chance now, Squirtle takes a spark of energy and creates a blue ball of energy at the back of his mouth. The Cicadas are taunting him now, moving in slow circles around him and pretending to be talking to each other. As the ball of energy charges, he opens his mouth slightly.. and a blue-white beam of cold, ice energy shoots out, spattering into Cicada and sinking into her chest. Crying out, the clone disappears, and Squirtle frowns. One out of five wasn't a very good chance to start with, anyways.

The real Cicada looks at the spot where the clone was, and the others follow suit. Looking once more at Squirtle, Cicada lets out a cry and raises her blades, slashing them down and twisting in frenzied circles. The clones are but a split second behind her, and altogether, the circle around Squirtle has become a spinning whirl of green. The Cicadas stab a scythe into the ground, stopping their berserk dance. Squirtle blinks as the pull the scythe from the ground, and turn to face him with a calm look in their eyes.

He shoots the same icy blue-white beam at a Cicada, who recoils from the beam as it passes its energy into her, and disappears. Another clone. Squirtle lets out a cry of frustration, and glares at the remaining three Scythers. He has a bit of foresight and charges up an Ice Beam while they do.. whatever that dance was, and gets this in return?

Cicada, with a small smirk on her face that is reflected by the other two clones, raises a blade and spins toward Squirtle, before slashing her blade into the ground a foot in front of him and twirling back again. It is rather intimidating, since he's surrounded by three blades before they pull back, and he starts to charge up another ball of energy as they all dance. The Cicadas jump and twirl in circles around him, chasing each other and gradually getting faster until all Squirtle can see is a green wall of blurry shapes. Once again, they all stab a blade into the ground to halt their dance, and turn towards Squirtle, daring him to guess which one is real.

He looks a Cicada in the eye, and whips around, aiming the white-blue beam towards another Cicada. It grins, and takes the attack right to the chest, before disappearing. Squirtle swears, now on one knee out of exhaustion. If this keeps happening, he would jump off a cliff or something if he had the energy to.. at least the Scyther only had one clone left.

Squirtle, still on one knee, looks up as his Trainer gives him his commands.. both Trainer and Pokemon know this'll likely be their last round, unless a fluke or extraordinary luck somehow saves them. Darksong gives her own commands, all participants and the referee knowing this round will be a short one.

Suddenly running forwards, Cicada leaps at Squirtle, scythes raised, and slashes them down in an 'X' at Squirtle. He falls onto his back, two open slashes across his chest now. They aren't bleeding very much, thanks to the layers of liquid metal that are still faintly there, but are still very prominent. With an icy stare, Cicada turns and jumps back towards her spot, trails of the green aura of Safeguard following right behind.

Squirtle tenses, getting ready to pour all his energy into a final attack.. the temperature around him starts to drop, and a wind starts to blow towards Cicada. His eyes glowing a very faint pale blue, Squirtle spreads a palm toward Cicada and icy winds rush towards her, coupled by a good few chunks of ice and snow. Cicada is right away knocked to the ground by the force of the winds, finding her right scythe quickly becoming numb..

As soon as the freak blizzard has come, it stops, and Cicada gets to her feet. Her right scythe is encased in a thin covering of ice, and the rest of her is freezing cold. Looking around, her clone has also disappeared, and some distance across from her, Squirtle lays on the ground, breathing quietly. Cicada walks over to him and pokes him with her frozen scythe. He doesn't move.

Cicada grins, she barely had to do anything. Her Trainer waves to her from a bit across the field, and Scyther (yes, the Trainer) recalls the deeply sleeping Squirtle into his Pokeball. As she jumps around happily, the referee motions to Scyther to send out his next Pokemon, and for the battle to continue.

With a tired sigh, the referee yells for both Trainers to continue, and Scyther throws his Pokeball into the arena. The red light wavers before solidifying into a four-winged bug, a Yanma. Cicada looks calmly at her next opponent, and nods when both Trainers give their commands.

Yanma looks around again, and starts to buzz her wings. The low buzz is at first annoying, before it climbs the scale and is too high for the humans to hear. Cicada is obviously affected, however, and tries to clap her scythes over her earholes, which is rather ineffective. Yanma pauses and flares her wings, stopping the buzz as she drops a few inches. Cicada, however, looks up with a grin suddenly, the green aura washing over her.

Putting a scythe up, Cicada waves and dashes towards Yanma, wings flapping. As she nears, she jumps in the air and twists so her back is to Yanma, buffeting her with her wings. Yanma tries to call out, but is whacked in the face by a wing and is sent backwards a few feet. Spinning again, Cicada leaps towards her spot, ice-covered scythe behind her as she dashes back.

Yanma won't have this, oh no. She won't get to attack for a bit, if she followed her Trainer's orders correctly, so why not make it harder for Cicada to attack her? Sending strength into her wings, Yanma dashes around the ring, gradually gaining speed until she is a red and green blur around Cicada. Cicada remembers this, she had done it earlier. With a hiss, she tries to keep an eye on Yanma, quickly losing sight of her, and leaving her kind of dizzy. Yanma stops, and in a ring around Cicada are five copies of herself, effectively surrounding Cicada.

Cicada waits for her eyes to stop spinning and thinks.. what was next, Aerial Ace? Oh yes.. closing her eyes, Cicada starts to buzz her own wings, and snaps around, flying at a Yanma with both scythes outstretched. She connects with a blow to the eyes, one Yanma on each scythe. The one on the right cries out and dissolves, and the one on the left stumbles back in the air, slightly blinded. Through the haze in her mind, Cicada marvels at her luck as the other clones disappear and Yanma babbles something about being blinded for life.

Growling quietly, Yanma focuses on the ground in front of her, and her eyes flash an odd blue-purple. The ground starts to rumble quietly and a rock covered in the same blue-purple aura as Yanma's eyes rises out of the ground, a wicked point at the tip. Cicada vaguely thinks about how much that would hurt if it rammed into her, and just as the thought crosses her mind, the rock tips so the point is facing Cicada, and flies towards the Scyther. She yelps as the rock cuts into her before falling to the ground and shattering a bit in front of her. Rubbing her chest where the rock had stabbed into her, Cicada looks over angrily at Yanma. The dragonfly Pokemon is staring into the air, and Cicada can see the faint outline of a blue-purple orb floating around her, before disappearing. Cicada shrugs. Weirdo.

She takes off as quickly as she can towards Yanma and starts to fly, quickly twisting around and buffeting her with her wings, again. Yanma is brought to attention by the slapping wings in her face and injured eyes, and cries out in surprise. Cicada digs her feet into the ground and pushes off again, towards her side of the field. Tendrils of the green aura follow her, before fading out.

Cicada looks over at Yanma and grins evilly, silently noting the disappearance of the green aura. Well, she her opponent looked rather weakened, but that could be the same for her. Yanma brushes away a bead of sweat from her wings, and buzzes at her Trainer. They had to continue.. this was getting more interesting.
