This is, unfortunately, going to be my last reffing for this battle. I go on vacation until the 26th'ish starting Friday, and I don't know that I'll have much time for anything tommorow. I'll try my hardest to find you guys a subref to finish the battle off before I go, though.

*Battle*
As the rainfall continues, the two trainers shout over the noise to their respective pokemon. Creeper nods and, though unseen, Pichu does as well, as round 21 commences.

Ready to really go on the offensive agains this little foe, Creeper runs up to the array of cogs trapping Pichu. He phases his ghostly body through the trap, grinning. Pichu is a bit shaken as the scary ghost pokemon appears through the cogs, but nevertheless continues with her order. Looking up to the sky, the baby pokemon makes a wish on an unseen star. As if answering the call, she suddenly feels a boost of energy and confidence. As she does, Sableye approaches the mouse and lashes out with an outstreched hand, gashing the little Pichu's backside with his claws. She lets out a shriek before she turns toward the ghost, ready to fight it out.

Preparing for a second attack by her foe, Pichu focuses, surrounding herself with a faint blue aura. As if he doesn't even notice, Creeper raises both his arms before repeatedly whiping them forward, bringing claws to bear with each strike. Each attack against Pichu resaults in a weak concussive force being released, however to Pichu's dismay the ghost type seems uneffected by the blows as he continues to slash her fragile body. The counter isn't all for naught, though. The force of the counterattack, though passing harmlessly through Sableye, succeeds in moving the sides of the trap. Creeper grins frighteningly as he finishes his repeated attacks, admiring his work.

Pichu wimpers a bit, body scratched up by Creeper's repeated attacks, but she continues to stay vigilant. Acknowledging her trainers order, she patiently awaits the ghost's next move. As expected, the darkness pokemon does what he does best. His body fades into the darkness itself, and he moves unseen through the shadows. He reveals himself behind Pichu just before he excecutes a tackle, sending her sprawling to the ground with a thud. Pichu quickly hops up and, taking advantage of the dislodgement of the trap from her Counter, slips her small body through a hole between the cogs.

Now safely outside, Pichu anxiously awaits her next commands. Creeper remains inside the trap, knowing full well he can escape easily at any time. The rain continues to pour over the arena, which is now completely soaked, with water running off the sides of the tower.
