‡ Pre-Round ‡


‡ Round 2 ‡

As the next round begins, Taylor recognizes a lost cause and creates a bright red baton seemingly out of thin air. He tosses the baton into the air and is suddenly recalled to his Pokeball. Quickly, Nsmbwii replaces the mantis with a smiling bunny rabbit who catches the falling baton with ease. Alright, successful sub-in! Meanwhile, Yurei begins muttering in her sleep. Suddenly, she creates a silvery white veil which drapes itself over her and offers her protection.

Yurei: <-4 EP; Sgd>
Taylor: <-4 EP; -2 SpA; -2 SpD>

Sundae: <Subbed in!; +2 SpA; +2 SpD>

Yurei continues Sleep Talking and begins exerting a curious sort of energy over Sundae. Just like that, the Buneary finds herself going totally immobile like a statue. Though Sundae’s confusion doesn’t register on her frozen face, she’s certainly feeling more than a little baffled.

Yurei: <-4 EP>
Sundae: <Can’t move!>

The Disable ends after a few moments and Sundae’s mobility is promptly restored. She gives her head a shake and, while she tests her fingers by wiggling them a bit, Yurei jolts awake. She leaps into action and begins cooking the wee Buneary with a nice, spicy Flamethrower that does a bunch of damage given the blistering weather. Deciding to put an end to the ongoing Drought, Sundae claps her hands once with authority. Suddenly, clouds roll in and obscure the sun, causing Yurei to pout. But hey, at least she's feeling awfully Limber all of a sudden!

Yurei: <-8 EP; Drought negated; Limber>
Sundae: <-16 HP; -4 EP>



‡ Post-Round ‡



Notes:

> Taylor will now be locked in and must be released as one of your future Pokemon, Nsmbwii; moreover, to prevent swap wars, Sundae cannot be subbed out of battle for the remainder of the match (even through Baton Pass)
> Yurei's Safeguard will remain in effect for two more rounds
> TEAM CYNDER to command next
