@PirouetteThe battle started! Eep and Kay made their way forward. Eep, unfortunately, was the absolutely slowest Pokémon on the battlefield. On the flipside, Sno was the fastest, the ghost quickly flying up and claiming the top for Erika’s team, giving her a valuable advantage. If nobody claimed the top, it was now Erika’s win!
In front of them, the Tropius flew high, and unleashed a Razor Leaf! Sno replied with an Icy Wind! Both of them wide-reaching attacks capable of hitting entire teams as the air filled with leaves and ice… but ice beats grass, so Sno’s attack broke through, hitting Tropius for an incredible x4 effectiveness! Now, in this game-mode, you cannot be knocked out… but the more effective the move, the more you’re launched back! Tropius was sent flying!
The two others, however, being Fire and Ice respectively, were not very effectively affected by what wasn’t even the full brunt of an attack, and advanced more or less unaffected! And as retaliation… Pansear Yawned, and Sno felt a sudden drowsiness. She’d fall asleep after one more move. She used said move to throw a Confuse Ray at the opponent closest to getting to the top, which was Pansear.
Pansear got hit by the Confuse Ray and suddenly stumbled. Sno then couldn’t help but fall asleep, but at least she fell asleep on the top.
The next two to reach the top were therefore Kay and Vanillite, basically at the same time. They unleashed their moves at the same time! Vanillite sent out a wide Icy Wind, intending to hit both Kay and Eep! However, Kay erected a Reflect wall… which did absolutely nothing because Reflect blocks physical moves, not special ones! Icy Wind blew straight through! Kay was hit directly and was blown off the top, then Eep ended up getting slowed down! … Suction Cups ensured Eep wasn’t blown anywhere, but he could be slowed down!
It was Not Very Effective against Sno, however, so no being launched off the top for her. Vanilitte went over to try to physically push Sno off the top… only to be reminded that Sno is a ghost and went right through. Vanillitte looked confused.
Kay and Eep had yet to reach the top, so Eep couldn’t do his strategy yet. Right now at the top was Sno, sleeping, but also Vanillitte freezing the score, and a confused Pansear was also stumbling up now.
‘Pansear, use Incinerate to blow the Froslass of the top! Vanillitte, keep using Icy Wind! Tropius, fly over there and Stomp down, keep them from reaching the top!’ John commanded. Vanillitte and Pansear looked like they intended to follow the commands, while Tropius was recovering way over there and took to the air again, but would need to spend some time flying back!
‘It’s an intense fight!’ Makirisu commentated.
‘Erika took the lead with the dash of having the quickest Pokémon, but doesn’t it look like things have swung in John’s favor!? But, everything could change if Sno wakes up!’What would Erika command now?

@Joshua TamashiiAmelia switched Pokémon to Shuppet! She risked being hit by Confusion as Meditite focused her power to use Confusion… and then ended up instead having the Psychic power erupt right in front of her head and Meditite was blown back, flipping over and hitting the back of her head into the ground! Meditite hurt herself in confusion!
‘Ow,’ Anise winced.
‘That’s fine. I’m confident you can fight through this! Meditite! Confusion!’ she commanded, and it was now simply a question of if Meditite could get off the move or not!
Meditite confidently punched forward! … Wait, a punch is not Confusion-
Meditite suddenly recoiled like she’d been punched in the face and her body curved sideways as she flew spinning through the air and Anise had to dodge aside as Meditite rolled around behind her. Anise looked a bit confused.
Probably because she wasn’t aware Meditite’s Pure Power was boosting the attack power of Meditite hurting herself in Confusion, doing more than half Meditite’s health on her own.
Shuppet launched Night Shade, a dark shadow hitting the already fallen Meditite. It did a bit more damage.
‘Okay. I realize I maybe should have switched Pokémon,’ Anise told, frowning as she watched Meditite slowly standing up.
‘But at this point, Meditite is too damaged to be sent in in the future. So, Meditite! Confusion!’ Meditite smiled, standing looking damaged, before focusing for another Confusion!
What would Amelia do?

@RemramGothita tilted her head at Basil’s question first question. That was perhaps too complicated a word. But she was on to the drawing soon enough.
She kept looking excited as he held back his laugh. So, he mentioned rules… and she looked at him with wide eyes. Not that her eyes were ever not wide.
She listened patiently for him to finish speaking, still staring. As he finished… she took the paper again and started drawing on it. Eventually she finished, turning it around and presenting it to him.
‘Gothita,’ she told, pretty intently.
What’s Basil’s response?
