‡ Round 4 ‡

Things are neck-and-neck as we inch our way slowly to the battle’s end. Cicero fills his mouth with flames and belches a terrific blast of heat at Alphonse. The sunny weather strengthens the attack and Alphonse is all but melted into a puddle of steaming, metallic goo. Robirdo dives toward Lillium, stabbing her with his beak, while Miko passes crimson beams of light over Mr. Devil Poops’s body. This time, there’s no Protect to save the Spiritomb from getting locked into the physical world. He dun seem too pleased 'bout dat.

Snake extends some health-sucking tendrils toward Triton, scoring a hit and leeching away some of the penguin’s hit points. Dat’s some good shit. A red glow surrounds Rosalinda as she decimates Shindo’s Substitute, rendering the Jigglypuff vulnerable to all sorts of hits once again. The little powder puff looks like he’s trying to do something… an attack, prolly… but can’t quite figure out how it’s done. Derp. Meanwhile, Lillium looks ready to attack, but bides her time instead, waiting for something else to happen first. Fists raised, Alphonse shoots across the battlefield and clobbers Cicero in the belly with a Meteor Mash of epic proportions. Cicero squeals and doubles over. Triton then waves his fingers and raises a howling winter storm, which settles upon Snake and starts ripping the Servine’s health away.

Mr. Devil Poops locks eyes with Shindo and begins lulling the Jigglypuff into a deep slumber. Shindo opens his mouth to Sing a dulcet tune, but isn’t fast enough: the Hypnosis takes hold and he slouches over, snoring loudly. Lillium glances at her incapacitated ally and then narrows her eyes. Two can play at that game. She flounces toward Rosalinda, gives her little body a wiggle and releases a blue dust that falls over Rosalinda’s body. Rather than growing drowsy, the Gardevoir smiles demurely. Looks like her Safeguard is doing its job.

Shindo: <Sub: Broken! Slp; Can’t move!>
Miko: <-4 EP>
Alphonse: <-24 HP; -8 EP>
Triton: <-18 HP; -10 EP>
Lillium: <-14 HP; -4 EP>

Cicero: <-12 HP; -10 EP>
Robirdo: <-6 EP>
Rosalinda: <-7 EP>
Demonic Stool: <For; -4 EP>
Snake: <-18 HP; +9 HP; -6 EP>

The fight continues as Cicero beats his wings hard, unleashing another Blizzard. The storm rages toward Lillium, who’s forced to endure the merciless attack. Cicero chuckles. It’s so nice to not be on the receiving end of one of those things for a change. Meanwhile, Robirdo attacks everybody’s favourite unconscious Jigglypuff, smacking Shindo upside the head with a Steel Wing and receiving a Defence boost as a reward. Whoo! Miko then manages to do what he couldn’t do last round. He lunges toward Mr. Devil Poops and lashes out with a terribly inaccurate punch, which manages to strike its target anyway. Mr. Devil Poops lets out a bewildered roar as Confusion sets in. He wobbles around precariously. He’s starting to feel as ridiculous as his nickname.

Things continue to grow worse for Shindo, who winds up on the receiving end of Snake’s next Leaf Storm. The move cuts up Shindo again and again while Snake’s Special Attack parameter rises. The Grass-type attacks continue to fly as Rosalinda uses a weaker but nonetheless effective leaf attack of her own. A shimmering array of Magical Leaves spin across the field and tear into Triton without remorse. Unfortunately, the little Piplup can take no more. He faints and becomes our battle’s first casualty. Lillium gasps but remains focused, closing her eyes and as she draws in the sunlight to regain health; however, because this is her second use of the move in such a short period, the energy toll it takes on her body is quite high. Meanwhile, Alphonse strikes Rosalinda with a mighty Shadow Ball. It bursts against her body and sends her tumbling to the ground. Alphonse flexes his metal guns. Eat it, dancer lady!

As this goes on, Mr. Devil Poops tries to chow down on some nummy dreams, but only ends up munching on his keystone instead. Spasms of pain run through his jaw. Yeah, um. Don’t do that.

And with that, Rosalinda’s Safeguard winks out.

Shindo: <-29 HP; Can’t move!>
Miko: <-8 EP>
Alphonse: <-6 EP>
Triton: <-7 HP>
Lillium: <-18 HP; +20 HP; -20 EP>

Cicero: <-10 EP>
Robirdo: <-5 EP; +1 Def>
Rosalinda: <-12 HP; -6 EP>
Demonic Stool: <-14 HP; Cfn; -3 HP Cfn>
Snake: <-12 EP; +2 SpA>

Feeling quite exhausted, Cicero uses the last of his energy to release a Thunder at... wait, Triton's dead? He decides to go for Miko instead; however, thanks to all this pesky sunlight, the attack misses its target by a hair, striking the ground at Miko's feet. Cicero, m’dear, you just Cicero’d. Robirdo then flaps his wings swiftly and unleashes a Mud-Slap, which hits Alphonse in the eyes but doesn't compromise its vision. The Metang flails its arms in anger and disgust nonetheless. (*takes a page from DL’s book*) It’s like taking a money shot from a Dugtrio right to face! Hah! Hah! Eurgh...

As everybody’s health and energy continues going down the drain, some of the Pokemon try to offset it, as shown when Miko and Snake respectively Rest and Relax their woes away. Rosalinda lands a sun-strengthened Fire Punch on Lillium, much to the Petilil’s dismay. Instead of immediately reacting, she bides her time yet again. Alphonse goes hard with another Sludge Bomb, scoring a hit on Snake. Snake scowls. Yuck. Poor Confuzzled Mr. Devil Poops targets Lillium with a Will-O-Wisp and scores a hit, using his Infiltrator ability to bypass her Safeguard. Lillium blows Ghostie a raspberry and starts jingling. Her Burn and Toxin immediately fade. She inhales deeply and smiles. Ahh, much better!

Meanwhile, Shindo dreams about hawt lady Clefairy. Oh dear.

Shindo: <Can’t move!>
Miko: <-26 EP; -6 HP fatigue; +40 HP; Brn no more; Slp>
Alphonse: <-3 HP; -7 EP>
Lillium: <-16 HP; -4 EP; Brn; Brn no more; Txc no more>

Cicero: <-8 EP; -1 HP fatigue>
Robirdo: <-2 EP>
Rosalinda: <-6 EP>
Demonic Stool: <-4 EP>
Snake: <-13 HP; +6 EP>

Rosalinda <+3 HP> heals a bit with her Ingrain, Snake <-3 HP> takes a bit of Burn damage, Miko <-10 HP> takes damage from the Curse, Alphonse <-3 HP> feels its Burn flare up, Cicero <-3 HP> loses health from the Leech Seed to Lillium's <+3 HP> delight, Rosalinda <-3 HP> loses health from another Leech Seed and her ally Snake <+3 HP> reaps the reward, Lillium <+3 HP> is restored by the nutrients in the soil and Shindo <-10 HP> takes a full serving of Curse.
