‡ Pre-Round ‡
‡ Round 3 ‡
Yet another burst of sizzles and sparkles erupts from Goku’s tails, giving Empoleon what should logically at this point be irreversible brain damage. Of course, because there’s anime physics, the Water-type is just unpleasantly jolted. Letting out a battle cry, she slams her foot against the ground. Tremors travel down the ice, shooting cracks every which way. Suddenly, two snaps and splashes are immediately heard as Goku and Empoleon break through the ice and slip beneath the surface.
The water is still below freezing and both Pokemon feel the cold burn right away.
Goku: <-8 EP; -5 HP arena hazard>
Empoleon: <-15 HP; -4 EP; -5 HP arena hazard>
The water goes relatively still after a moment as we’re left to stare at the broken surface of the once-frozen lake. Peering around in confusion, we wait… until… oh, yes, there it is! Triumphantly, Goku’s head rises from beneath the surface. Whoo! Freedom! However, the Ambipom’s joy is cut short: he tries desperately to Bounce from the water, but without a solid surface he can use to propel himself into the air, he’s left to flounder like a… well, like a drowning monkey, basically. No sign of Empoleon yet...
And suddenly, Empoleon’s hand grabs his tails and tugs him back beneath the surface. Glug!
Goku: <Helpmehelpmehelpme!>
Empoleon: <Drown, fucker, drown!>
Bear-hugged by Empoleon’s powerful arms and sinking rapidly, Goku realizes with horror that he can’t escape. He struggles and writhes, desperately trying to fight free and return to the land of oxygen, but he can’t. Paralysis kicks in and Empoleon’s arms go rigid, which only makes it harder for the Ambipom to pry them open. His lungs begin to burn as suffocation robs him of health.
Suddenly, the severe cold begins to affect not only Goku but also Empoleon as well. Ice crystals form around the two Pokemon, binding them together into one massive misshapen ice cube that gradually starts floating to the surface.
Goku: <-10 HP suffocation; Frz>
Empoleon: <Can’t move!; Frz>

Notes:
> There's a 20% chance every round that the Pokemon will thaw out; this doubles in sunny weather; also, Fire-type attacks will thaw them out
