Well, sharper claws = easier digging, doesn't it? So I figured the appendages/feet/whateveryouwanttocallthem that Datum uses to dig into the ground via mimic, would, sharpened, make it easier --well, and a tad slight bit faster -- to dig through things and widen it. It would make things a tad more difficult to go down the hole, but Datum was widening it anyways. And Sandshark was basically digging the main part of the hole, which would take longer. That was my logic anyway. o.o''

Arena: Field -- Our standard, generic open field. There's grass. And dirt. And flowers. And a beautiful, open, sunny sky just waiting to be manipulated by someone. There's no water, though, so nothing that is forced to swim is allowed.

Arena Status: Raining heavily.

~Round 7 Begin!~



Sandshark, about as sick of the 1 and 0 being as her trainer is, hisses at the Porygon as the terrain still continues to dry with the heat of the sun that's now shining down upon it. Feeling a bit dizzy, but never the less prepared, the sandmouse shakes her head a few times to try and clear away the dizziness, before dashing off in an incredible burst of speed.

Even as Sandshark flies across the ground with the ever-reliable Aerial Ace, Datum gathers a medium-amount of ice-elemental energy at his beak, allowing it to grow and take form. By a bit of luck, Sandshark manages to dodge the incoming Ice Beam, striking Datum's tough exterior with her ground-based body.

Growling as she skids across the ground after the Aerial Ace strike, Sandshark forward lunges again in an all-or-nothing attack method, flailing, scratching, and kicking desperately against the Porygon. Datum shows no pain at each hard strike, already gathering another bout of Ice Beam at his beak, ready to finish off his tired, though furious, opponent. Each new flail wears and slightly dents the Porygon's shiny coat, and Sandshark can't help but feel a bit vindicated at her chance of revenge, even as the second Ice Beam hits her skin, throwing her away from Datum and sending her easily into unconsciousness.
