ROUND TWO


Standing on the edge of the steam covering the lava, where he feels at home, Charmander eyes up his opponent. Dratini is following suit, paddling in the overspill from the water pool, the two are in their elements ready to fight. With neither of them suffering an inability to perform on the mark, they both attack simultaneously. Charmander takes a deep intake of air whilst sparks of electricity form around Dratini's body. A bolt of electrical energy sweeps away from one, whilst the other breaths a jet of super heated flame, both headed directly for the opponent, destined to hit in the middle. Destiny never fails, and the two attacks collide. The elements aren't opposites, so they pass through each other, with only a little of each being trapped and dissipated. Lightning strikes Charmander, while the water around Dratini boils as he is hit with the flame.


Both growling from the attacks, Dratini turns his attentions to the sky once more. As the upwards rain effect flows from his body into the sky Charmander surrounds himself with a draconic energy once again, covering his head and claws with the aura. Tiny droplets falling from the sky quickly turn into a torrential downpour, but it's not going to stop Charmander, who charges forward, colliding hard with Dratini who is thrown backwards by the force of the attack, and ends up floating in the top of the now overflowing pool. Charmander shows his distaste of the rain by snapping at the sky furiously, while Dratini swims around a little to get used to being in the water.


With all the super conductive water in the air and around his body, Charmander is a sitting duck for a Thunder attack, which Dratini sends out swiftly and mercilessly. There's no delay in the attack this time, and it jumps from drop to drop slamming into Charmander with such a force that his muscles all lock at the same time and he struggles to maintain any kind of balance or poise. Shaking from the impact, Charmander has to move around the edge of the pool in order to get close enough to Dratini to strike, but even then the pokemon finds it easy to evade the attack, as the slowed down Charmander can barely manage to rake his claws over the tiny dragon pokemon before he dips under the water to avoid further damage.
