‡ Round 2 ‡
In the fallout of the first round, the battle is already starting to look just a little bit one-sided. Thrilled by its performance so far, Mr. Glitch does a jaunty spin in the air before unleashing a powerful beam of electricity that darts toward Verne. The move falls just short, crashing into an invisible barrier hovering just in front of the crafty little Remoraid. Meanwhile, Beans stumbles, still not over his Confusion. If only the world weren’t so damn spinny! Growling, the Magby feels his temper rising and he unleashes his emotions in a powerful flailing attack directed at Atlas. The poor Turtwig crumples under the brute force of the rage-driven assault. Beans grins. Ahh, much better...
Fearing for its well-being, Roswell finds a peg leg sitting on the ground and decides that it will serve as a good replacement battler. (The peg leg has no opinion on the subject.) Atlas manages to get over that nasty Frustration, whipping up a maelstrom of razor-sharp leaves that his directs at Verne, who smiles happily behind her Protection. Autumn, on the other hand, puts as much physical might as he can into one powerful blow that just about knocks Mr. Glitch to pieces. The move, however, comes at the price of weakening both Autumn’s physical might and fortitude.
Anchovy and Heatblast, the last two to move, combine their efforts into a double Flamethrower that crackles across the field before striking the peg leg. The peg leg is immediately reduced to cinders. Oh, the humanity!

Mr. Glitch, still shaking off Autumn’s Superpower, shoots off another sizzling Thunderbolt that completely eliminates one of Verne’s three clones remaining from the last round. One down, two to go! Beans scans the field for his target, and as his gaze sweeps across the deck of the Phantom Galleon, the Magby realizes that he’s no longer seeing doubles of everything. Woohoo! Confused no longer! To celebrate, Beans fires off a fiery ideogram that smokes Atlas and just about incinerates him whole. Mmm, that smell! Is someone making a stir-fry?
In an act of self-preservation, Roswell hovers just close enough to Verne that it can Teleport the pair up to the ship’s crow’s nest. Ooh, they can see Roswell’s house from up there! However, down below, Verne’s two remaining clones feel suddenly abandoned and vulnerable—and with good reason, too. Atlas shoots off another eddy of leaves that spirals over to one of Verne’s clones and knocks the thing into oblivion. The remaining clone gulps. Uh-oh. Autumn follows suit, commanding his own slicing-and-dicing Leaf Storm that he aims at Anchovy. I’ve got one word for you: ceviche. Look it up.
Anchovy, who doesn’t appreciate getting all cut up, tries to strike Roswell with a Flamethrower but his target is simply too far out of range. Meanwhile, way up the crow’s nest, Verne performs another Double Team and calls forth three new clones to keep her and Roswell company. The Remoraid clone still flopping away down on the deck glowers. Fine! Be all exclusive if you want to! See if he cares!
To finish off the turn, Heatblast seizes up and does nothing. Yeah. How climactic.

The poor lonely clone is put out of its misery soon enough as Mr. Glitch sneaks up on it and toasts it alive with a Thunderbolt. Ashes to ashes, blah blah blah. Beans, pleased with how the first Fire Blast went, figures there’s no reason not to repeat past successes and roasts Atlas’s tushie with a second red-hot blow. Roswell, way up in the crow’s nest, has a moment of inspiration. Hey, you know what’s good for burns? Water! The little Magnemite thus spins around in the air and summons dark, roiling clouds that soon spill great heaping globs of water over the battlefield.
Verne hisses from beside Roswell. No, you idiot! As the cold, fat raindrops strike the ship, the three clones are instantly obliterated. Well, so much for that strategy. Autumn, who, on the other hand, doesn’t mind the rain so much, goes for what is perhaps the bajillionth Leaf Storm of the match. The dancing, spiraling leaves strike Anchovy and cut him up something nasty. Atlas does the same with Leaf Storm number bajillion-and-one, but it doesn’t pan out so well. Atlas tries to force the leaves up high enough to strike Verne, but the Remoraid is just simply too far out of range and the move ultimately fails.
Verne, irked by Roswell’s clone-killing Rain Dance but pleased that Atlas’s Leaf Storm didn’t make contact, finds a rusty telescope left up in the crow’s nest and chooses it as her Substitute. Anchovy and Heatblast go for another combined Flamethrower, but they can’t seem to arc their moves in just the right way, and what with the rain and all, they simply have no chance. Roswell is blissfully left unscathed.
With that, the match begins to look significantly less one-sided.
