‡ Round 6 ‡

It looks as though Cynder has regained a bit of ground, but will it be enough? Before anyone can answer that question, Robirdo enters a nosedive, plummeting hard into the ground. Derp. Meanwhile, Rosalinda hitches up her skirt in one hand and raises the other into a flaming fist before sprinting toward Alphonse. She clobbers the blue tin can with a Fire Punch. Lillium, utterly disinterested in the proceedings, merely starts sunbathing and looks a little more lush as a result. Miko then takes his turn and unleashes a series of small Shadow Balls at Rosalinda. She takes the hit; however, since that combo requires more stamina than Miko can muster, it causes him to unceremoniously flop over in defeat. Snake, who was about to hit him with an Iron Tail, shrugs and thwacks Lillium with it instead. Finally, Alphonse, huffing and puffing from fatigue, manages to act. He treats Rosalinda to a Psychic attack. He’s (waaay) too late to redirect her Fire Punch, but, y’know, it deals her some damage nonetheless. So that’s good!

Snake's Safeguard goes kaput.

Miko: <-6 EP; -2 HP fatigue>
Alphonse: <-12 HP; -3 HP fatigue>
Lillium: <-9 HP; +15 HP; -1 EP; -6 HP fatigue>

Robirdo: <-3 HP Cfn>
Rosalinda: <-21 HP; -6 EP>
Snake: <-4 HP fatigue; Sgd no more>

The five remaining Pokemon square off. Robirdo, who keeps a level head even though he’s still experiencing the crazies, charges Lillium down with a ferocious stab of his beak. Rosalinda gracefully wallops Alphonse with another fiery fist, which does more damage than Snake’s Natural Gift. Even with his high Special Attack, the move does almost nothing. Alphonse gets an opportunity for revenge, catching Rosalinda in the gut with another Shadow Ball, which she really does not seem to enjoy. Finally, Lillium treats herself to a Growth. It might be too late in the game for her to make the most of such a stat boost, but we’ll have to see.

Alphonse: <-15 HP; -3 HP fatigue>
Lillium: <-14 HP; -4 EP; +1 Att; +1 SpA; Sgd no more>

Robirdo: <-6 EP>
Rosalinda: <-12 HP; -6 EP>
Snake: <-1 HP fatigue>

Poor Robirdo once again reverts to Crazy Mode, smacking himself upside the head with one of his wings. Little dude’s gonna sleep well tonight. Rosalinda, true to form, dishes out yet another Fire Punch to Alphonse who is probably never going to be able to look at a barbecue without suffering some severe PTSD. Snake hits Alphonse with another Natural Gift, doing piddly damage yet again, while the Metang strikes Rosalinda with another swirling ball of shadows. The fatigue takes its toll and causes Alphonse to faint. The sole survivor of Cynder's team, Lillium finishes the round by assaulting Rosalinda with a mass of jagged leaves. Snake shoots her a dirty look. Copycat!

And now Lillium's Safeguard goes kaput.

Alphonse: <-3 HP; -1 HP fatigue>
Lillium: <-6 HP fatigue>

Robirdo: <-3 HP Cfn>
Rosalinda: <-7 HP capped; -6 EP>
Snake: <-1 HP fatigue>

Rosalinda <+3 HP> Ingrains back some HP, Snake <-3 HP> is almost defeated by her Burn, Rosalinda <-0 HP capped> is unable to heal Snake <+0 HP> via Leech Seed, Lillium <+3 HP> gets back some Ingrain health only to subsequently be finished off by her Curse <-10 HP>. She falls. Yes, she falls. The arena is stunned into silence for a moment and then an eruption of cheers sounds all around us.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the match!

At long last, we're done! Congratulations to BTPoke for winning the battle and earning supreme bragging rights. Factoring in the point distribution for the first five battles as well as this one, you get 20 points. Cynder, for battling valiantly, you receive a total of 16 points. I grab 25.

All in all, this is by far the coolest battle I've experienced in my time at ASB. It led to some fun strategies and hilarious moments and now Cicero is a basically household name. Thanks to you two (as well as Em!) for participating. Sometime after Gen VI is revealed and I've forgotten how much work this all took, the four of us should give a Six Gen Three-Way a try. Unless, y'know, we all pull a Cicero and forget to do it. ;D Bwahaha!

Welp! Oslo out!
