*Battle*
The two trainers are still feeling one another out, as they carefully consider their actions. Without too much delay, each issues a set of orders for Round 2.
Still feeling confident in himself, Louie concentrates on defense. He carefully concentrates, channeling his energy into a translucent screen in front of his body. While the Voltorb sets up his defense, the still visually impaired Kelpie quietly disappears into the shadows once more. As he moves, he tries to clear up his vision, and does indeed manage to regain enough to locate his orb-shaped foe, targetting especially carefully thanks to his vision. His body reappears as he slams his spiked head into the pokeball lookalike, and as he does Louie lets out a cry.
Voltorb rolls forward from the impact, but soon steadies himself. Without wasting any time, he concentrates. A fury of sparks dance across his round body as he prepares himself for an electrical assault, drawing extra electricity from the air to raise his power level. Meanwhile, Kelpie seems to be gathering up his own energy in front of him, in the grass. The grass is drawn to the energy, and begins to form a strange looking doll. As the grass takes shape, it looks more and more like a Shuppet, until finally, the floating ghost transfers some of his own life energy into the being. It glows yellow, and then floats up into the air. Vision finally returning, Kelpie quietly hides himself in the grass, leaving his grass dummy to take the ensuing assault.
And take it, he does. Having gathered a substancial amount of extra electrical energy from the surroundings, Kablooie Louie turns his attention to his adversary. The psuedo-Shuppet looks odd, but the overcharged Voltorb pays it no heed. With a hum, a huge shower of sparks fly from his body, as a single, powerful electric bolt is sent flying straight at the grass doll with little delay. The bolt cuts through the air, hitting pseudo-Kelpie dead on. The electrical current surges throughout the doll, and it suddenly blows appart, sending bits of grass flying as the yellow bolt flies onward into the sky. Louie cuts the power, quite suprised and impressed at the same time. His attack was so powerful, he caused his opponent to explode! The feeling is quickly dispersed when Louie feels dark pain cutting through his side. Kelpie's strategy worked, and the dusky beam hits the overjoyed electric pokemon powerfully. Louie temporarily loses color at the point of impact, as his face contorts to show the pain he's feeling.
The Voltorbs color quickly returns as the attack subsides, and he turns to face his ghostly foe. He is clearly quite peeved, having thought victory was already his. Kelpie simply grins darkly, as the trainers look on.
