A serene view is the backdrop of today's production, the large shady oaks rustling in the breeze. That same wind ripples across the surface of the lake lightly, then passes on in to the deep blue sky. Wildlife currently out of sight make various calls, carried faintly to the ears over a distance. It is truly a soothing sight.

But then that fades from attention as the actual battle comes to attention. Blinding bursts of light fade quickly, revealing two creatures alien to this environment. At once the tranquility is disturbed, trainers barking their orders and bringing about the sound of paws striking the ground from the wild Pokemon that know what is coming. And then the two battlers burst in to movement.

But they don't trade blows just yet. Instead, they both concentrate and wave their hands around, invoking a mysterious power their bloodlines acquired somewhere down the line. Small star-shaped shields of concentrated energy form and circle them, protecting their bodies from lasting forms of harm.

And then the actual fight begins. Armadeus closes his eyes again, focusing energy in to the space on either side of him. Within seconds, he has created perfect illusionary copies of himself. But Woolly just grins, sweeping his arms around. Small energy projectiles formed in to tiny five-pointed shapes launch from his hands, flying straight in to each of the Sandshrew. They fly straight through all but the one on the far right, putting holes through the deceptions which spread until nothing is left. The last one feels them jab in to his skin, but the few that strike the real rodent do very little.

As soon as the barrage is finished, the larger mammal charges forwards. Dashing quickly, the sheep raises a fist and tenses his arm muscles, preparing for the strongest punch he can manage. Seeing the oncoming strike, the shrew begins to panic and lunges out of the way. However, he still manages to lash out weakly with a clawed paw, putting small cuts on Woolly's side. The scratches begin festering with a horrible poison, but the small barrier of stars from before concentrates on to that point and the infection is gone. Meanwhile, the unfortunate sheep struggles against his own momentum, but cannot stop on time and runs in to the small body of water. Losing his footage on the wet rocks, he falls face-first in to the water, but quickly gets back up and glares at the small rodent on the shore.
