Well, you've done your job well Bliss, the mean little rat is knocked out. Unfortunately, we're not quite done just yet. I don't really expect you to be able to take out Hionorashi's replacement all by yourself, but let's try to wear it down as much as you can, okay?
Shadow Ball ~ chill ~ Shadow Ball
Shadow Ball ~ chill ~ Shadow Ball
It doesn't take long for surskitty to make her choice, and barely has Hinoarashi been returned to safety than surskitty casts one of the cyndaquil's teammates into the fray. Bliss watches the pokéball apprehensively as it arcs through the air, splitting open to unleash a blast of glowing energy. The pokémon that emerges from the miniature lightshow isn't one that instills the togepi with a great deal of confidence, either--a grinning shuppet hovers above the blackend floor, weird-colored eyes trained on Bliss.
Round Six
Walker (OO)
Bliss (F)
Health: 20%
Energy: 44%
- Delighted, if only a little tired. +2 Special Attack
surskitty (XO)
Puppeteer (F)
Health: 100%
Energy: 100%
- Grinning at Bliss and looking quite confident.
Frowning, Bliss begins to gather negative energy, hardly a difficult feat considering the corrupted nature of the room. Darkness bubbles out of a slit in reality held between her paws, streaks of purple flashing now and then from the seething mass of ghostly power. The ghost herself is powering up a different kind of attack, electricity snapping and crackling around her diaphanous body as she charges up. In the end, Puppeteer proves to be quicker to the draw, veins of electricity flowing up her body to collect at the tip of the point jutting from the top of her head before streaming out with a warning hiss, weak tendrils of electricity shooting across the arena to strike Bliss full in the face. The togepi winces as searing pain grips her body. It vanishes almost immediately, but the damage has been done: Bliss' muscles are twitchy and uncertain, her body seizing with tremors. Nevertheless, she releases the shadow ball without issue, sending it wobbling erratically towards Puppeteer. The ghost is blown back in the air by the explosion of deathly energy, the shadow ball searing holes in her thin body, leaving it tattered and pockmarked like a handkerchief attacked by moths.
That intense effort successfully pulled off, Bliss is more than happy enough to take a short break from the offensive. The togepi retracts as far as she can into her shell, pinning her small arms as close to her body as possible as she lets her mind drift away from the battle and to happier times. The floor around her feet starts to be scrubbed clean of the darkness that had corrupted it, leaving a small patch of pristine white around the togepi.
Meanwhile, Puppeteer isn't resting on her laurels. Infuriated by the shadow ball, the ghost launches swiftly into another attack, body glowing golden as electric potential builds in her gaseous form. Another, more concentrated beam of electricity shoots from the shuppet's horn, striking bliss dead on, causing the togepi to squeak and pop back out of her shell. Electricity continues to ripple and surge over Puppeteer's body, lending her more fuel for later attacks.
Again, there is no hesitation on the shuppet's part to begin another charge beam, and as Bliss sees that familiar golden aura flowing out around Puppeteer, she struggles to gather her own strength and set up another shadow ball. Both pokémon charge up, but Bliss' uncertain muscles make preparing her shadow ball quite the tricky task, and she can't manage the attack nearly as fast as Puppeteer. Once again the shuppet unleashes a humming column of electricity, and this one strikes Bliss in a particular tender spot. The togepi squeals as the charge beam scorches a hole right in the center of her forehead, where there isn't any shell to reduce the damage. Struggling to overcome the pain, the togepi releases another erratic shadow ball which, as before, knocks Puppeteer flying and leaves her looking still more ragged than before. Compared to Bliss' bruised and bloodied state, though, the ghost-type is doing fine.
Walker (OO)
Bliss (F)
Health: 6%
Energy: 44%
- Barely holding on. Paralyzed (severe). +2 Special Attack
surskitty (XO)
Puppeteer (F)
Health: 73%
Energy: 89%
- Ripped up by the shadow balls and clearly not pleased. +1 special attack, -2 special defense.
Final Notes
- Puppeteer's second charge beam was a critical hit.
- surskitty attacks first next round.

Terrain Notes
A patch of floor around Bliss has been returned to its original flat white state, but most of the room on her side remains blackened and warped, as well as dappled with streaks of red and orange as well, and many of them are bubbled or rippled up as a result of Hinoarashi's anger. A wide, shallow puddle has formed around Hinoarashi from the repeated water pulse attacks.Final Notes
- Puppeteer's second charge beam was a critical hit.

Bliss gulps as Puppeteer gives an unwholesome little giggle. The togepi desperately tries to concentrate on the ghost's physical state, hoping to transfer her own paralysis to her opponent. The shuppet merely vanishes before her eyes, however, and though for a moment Bliss is fooled, she shortly realizes what is going on and braces for impact. Not one to disappoint, Puppeteer reappears behind Bliss, ghostly body crackling with dark energy, and rams into the togepi. Bliss falls flat on her face, cracks spreading across the back of her eggshell. Puppeteer giggles again as the togepi remains lying still, the ghost drifting in circles over Bliss' prone form and sticking her tongue out at Bliss until Walker recalls her.

Now it is Walker's turn to select a new pokémon, and after shooting a question to the referee, he doesn't take long to select a replacement for Bliss. The pokéball that he tosses into the arena splits open to release Delve the gastly, who hovers across from Puppeteer and cackles in delight as he observes the shuppet's ragged state. Even as the referee calls for the battle to resume, Delve sticks his tongue out at Puppeteer and blows an exuberant raspberry before dissolving into cackling laughter. Puppeteer floats quietly where she is, giving Delve no response save a flat, unimpressed stare.
Walker (XO)
Delve (M)
Health: 100%
Energy: 100%
- Feeling wicked.
surskitty (XO)
Puppeteer (F)
Health: 73%
Energy: 86%
- Already annoyed with her opponent. +2 special attack, -2 special defense.
The gastly's only getting started, though. Breaking his laughter off with a sinister leer, he starts to hiss far worse insults at Puppeteer, watching the shuppet carefully for any sign of a reaction. At first, Puppeteer seems stolidly unaffected by his jabs, but when Delve changes tack and starts to drift closer to her, running off a long list of obscene comments, her composure finally cracks. Thoughts of creating a substitute flee her mind, and she frowns grimly as electricity once again starts to sizzle around her horn. Delve, by now far too into his taunt attack to pay any real attention to his opponent, is caught full in the face by the powerful charge beam that soon follows. He reels back in the air, shuddering as electricity runs through his gaseous body, then breaks down in delighted laughter, as though the furious expression on Puppeteer's face is utterly hilarious.
With a loud retching noise, Delve spits up a clod of ghostly energy, which hovers in the air before him, spinning and growing larger as he pours more power into it. Once it's reached about the size of a grapefruit, he swats it with his tongue, sending it sailing towards Puppeteer. The shuppet has been watching the preparation of his attack even while working on her own, though, and dives just as the shadow ball is released. It strikes the trailing edge of her body, but she avoids the worst of it. Sparks dancing around Puppeteer's ragged form coalesce into another broad beam of concentrated electric energy that catches Delve full in the face, knocking him backward.
This time he is, wisely, far faster to retaliate. When he spits out another shadow ball, it's fully formed, and Puppeteer doesn't have time to get out of its way. The ball of black and purple energy rips into her midriff, tearing still more of her essence away as she howls with pain. By now, though, she can charge and fire another charge beam quite quickly; the residual energy from the beams she's used before still circulates through her body, bolstering her strength despite her flagging physical integrity. As another charge beam rips free of her horn and catches Delve before he can dodge, the gastly makes the pained reflection that her attacks are swiftly growing more powerful as well.
