Recalling her unconscious bug, Emperor_Evulz snatched the second Pokéball from her belt, thence summoning Amotherasu's replacement in a burst of red light. Perry watched carefully as the beam congealed into a writhing blob of energy that moulded itself and hardened into... a lump of seaweed. He was rather taken aback when the seaweed began to flail and roll in the nearest puddle, until a closer look revealed it to be a rather frantic Skrelp. Mystery, for that was her name, splashed wildly in the shallow pool, soaking her body as thoroughly as she could before wriggling out of it and crawling grumpily across the floor on her fins to face her opponent. She was not liking this forced excursion to the surface world one bit- how did these land-beasts put up with it being so
dry?- and was well in the mood to knock something unconscious to vent her frustrations. Gleefully she noted how thoroughly dinged-up her adversary looked; clearly he'd been softened up for her already. She readied herself for the battle ahead, Perry steeling himself and vowing to do his utmost as a whistle rang out, calling a start to the second leg of the match.

Already getting her land fins, Mystery set to work, just narrowly beating Perry to the punch. Shadows spread across the ground as they flew to her, shrouding her in an impenetrable aura of darkness. Now completely cloaking her, the shadow slithered across the floor at tremendous speed, making a beeline for Perry, who winced and held his scabbard in front of him to brace for the oncoming attack. When it didn't come, his eye opened a crack and peered around suspiciously, until a slimy appendage tapped him mischievously on the cross-guard. Once he naively turned around, Mystery rushed towards him and slapped him hard with her tail, the last of the Dark energy dissipating into extra damage.
Startled by the pain and the suddenness of her ambush, Perry clattered to the ground with a screech, lifting himself slowly upright and locating a boulder to throw at her in recompense. He found a good-sized one just next to him, but as he heaved it into the air the pressure on his tender burn made him hiss in discomfort. He tried again, very gingerly, and tossed the rock high into the air, but with less force than he might have otherwise. Nonetheless it landed on Mystery with a satisfying-enough
crunch, crumbling into rubble as it did.
Mystery squeaked unappreciatively as she wriggled out from beneath the pile of aggregate, fuming as she summoned another horde of shadows, this time collecting them in an eerie ball of darkness at the tip of her snout. Her head swung back with recoil as she fired it towards Perry, and it burst against him into black smoke-like wisps that faded eerily into nothing. Perry flinched, the ghostly power contained in the shot burning his hide, before shaking off the pain and finding himself another rock. Deftly he sliced it into many good-sized chunks, swatting each one at Mystery with a swing of his blade and a grimace from the crippling pain of his burn. The Skrelp squealed as rocks rained down on her like the water still pouring through the roof, at a blinding rate that almost rivalled that of the furious downpour. The barrage petered out just as quickly as the rain did, leaving Mystery sore, dry and highly annoyed.
She massaged the lumps Perry's assault had left on her- the ones her little fins could reach, at least- and scowled at him murderously. It was time to end this. Another orb of darkness began forming at her snout, and with a vicious shriek she fired it into Perry, knocking him back with a great burst of shadowy energy. She watched triumphantly as he squirmed weakly on the ground, eagerly awaiting the moment when he lay still and being rather disappointed when he slowly and stiffly eased himself up.
Perry's head thudded with agony. His blade was scratched, chipped and blunted, his tassel flapping around him in worn tatters, his burn screaming with pain more than ever. But he wasn't done. Not yet. With incredible effort, he searched along the ground with his tassel, feeling blindly for a suitable rock. He wrapped it around a worthy specimen, weakly spinning it above his head like a sling before letting the rock go with as much force as he could muster. It pinged loudly off a lump of stone bordering the skylight, and Brock's anguished cry echoed across the room as the stonework crumbled and plummeted onto Mystery in huge chunks. Fortunately the structural soundness of the gym was not compromised by this deterioration, which was rather more of a relief to Brock than it was to Mystery as she clambered angrily out of yet another pile of rocks. Her spirits were lifted when her gaze turned to Perry; the Honedge twitched violently, collapsing to the ground and shivering in pain, the agony of the burn Amotherasu inflicted as her last desperate
screw you, Perry finally having worn him down to the point that he could no longer bear to battle. Mystery whooped victoriously as she watched her vanquished foe disappear back into his Pokéball, belly-flopping into the nearest puddle and sending up a great spout of water to punctuate her triumph.
