Round Two, Begin!
This time around, the battlers seem to be focused on buffing themselves. Taking advantage of the breeze and her light weight, Hanayeri zips upward into the air at great speed. Molten is not so lucky as to have the gift of flight, so he settles for Hardening, his outer shell cooling over for protection. “This Slugma is too hard-headed to give up!” the announcer cries. Several audience members groan.
Hanyeri twists and turns in mid-air, as eerie, incorporeal blades dance about him, boosting his attack. The crowd loves how cute the Hoppip looks bobbing in midair and begins to cheer. Molten focuses on the airborne target, his eyes narrowed, and fires forth a huge flaming cross. The attack is a little off the mark, as Hanyeri was a moving target, but the blow is still enough to knock her out of the air, and burn her. The Hoppip hits the dirt, her leaves smoking but the impact minimal, as she’s so light. Once again, the crowd changes tune and begins to cheer for Molten, awed by his attack.
Feeling immensely satisfied, the Slumga re-cools his smoldering skin, further increasing his defense. With his shell(skin, not actual shell) weighing him down, however, Molten is not quite as mobile as he was before. Hanayeri struggles to her feet and concentrates, creating four identical clones in a loose circle around her. “It looks like Molten’s seeing double, or in this case, quadruple!” the announcer shouts, narrowly avoiding a spare bit of trash someone threw his way. Round 2 comes to a close…
