------------------------------
Trembling slightly as the poison works its way through his system, Victor puts his all into his next attack, launching himself forward with a powerful jet of water to bowl his opponent over before he can make a move. Having just gotten up, Reyn is shoved heavily back down onto his side, crying out as the water slightly erodes his tough, rocky skin. Closing his eyes, he again concentrates on reinforcing it with a thin sheet of metal that flows out from his pores, this time resolving to keep his armor around a bit longer. As both Pokémon lie in a crumpled heap in the grass, panting, the sandstorm swirling around them fades away, taking Victor's now-forgotten Reflect bubble with it.
Sorely missing the dryness, Reyn roughly shoves Victor off of him and gets to his feet to roar impressively to the skies above. (Zapi holds back a snicker at his Pokémon pathetically high-pitched cries, and Reyn glares at him.) All the clouds remaining in the sky are obviously quite terrified of Reyn's quite terrifying and commanding bark, and immediately clear right off, allowing the sun to emerge from behind in its full glory to bathe the field in dryness and warmth. Ugh,
sunlight. Victor is desperate to recede back into his shell to avoid the light that burns his poor eyes, but Murkrow urges him to battle on. ("I worry about you, Victor! You never leave the basement!") The Kabuto huffs. Reluctantly he latches on to Reyn with his front pincers, digging them into the grooves in the Larvitar's skin to leech a portion of his lifeforce away.
Reyn cries out in agony as his opponent takes a huge bite out of his life energy, and the ground below begins to ripple in response. Eagerly Victor takes advantage of this excuse to recede back into his cool and comfy shell, enveloping himself in a transparent bubble to shield himself from the incoming attack. His opponent roars again, full of rage, and his fury is unleashed from the ground below, which tears open as a geyser of molten earth erupts from it, throwing Victor up into the air. Thankfully his bubble cushions the impact as he slams back into the ground, and the boiling rock that rains down upon him bounces harmlessly off it, scattering onto the ground around him.

Arena Status
- The sun is shining brightly (7 more actions).

Damage and Energy
- Reyn's Health: 65% - 12% (Aqua Jet) - 15% (Giga Drain) = 38%
- Reyn's Energy: 67% - 2% (Iron Defense) - 5% (Sunny Day) - 4% (Earth Power) = 56%
- Victor Meldrew's Health: 74% + 7% (Giga Drain) - 3% (poison) = 78%
- Victor Meldrew's Energy: 76% - 2% (Aqua Jet) - 1% (Reflect upkeep) - 5% (Giga Drain) - 8% (Protect) = 60%
Notes
- Speed order: Reyn (82) > Victor Meldrew (55).
- Zapi PMed me to ask about this, but I'll repeat my answer here for posterity or something: using Iron Defense after Rock Polish didn't have the same cancelling-out effect, because Iron Defense just covers the skin with a thin and smooth layer of metal. However it's so thin that polishing the skin would wear it right off.
- The sandstorm ended after the first action. So did Victor's Reflect.
- Murkrow commands first.
