O.o Really, Yawn wasn't banned?

I guessed that it wasn't because both of you issued commands that were predicated on the assumption that it was still legal to use.

‡ Round 10 ‡

Though things seem to be working in IEC’d’s favour, 8-Ball can’t be counted out of this battle just yet. With the hailstones littering our surroundings, 8-Ball’s Blizzard strikes with perfect accuracy and makes IEC’d think about all the ways this could have been a better beach outing. The little Thorn Seed Pokemon can barely keep his eyes open as he shoots off a shimmering sphere of natural plant energy at his opponent’s Substitute, which shatters. Some poor little Dwebble out there is gonna be shell-less tonight.

And with that, IEC’d slumps over and goes to sleep.

8-Ball: <-10 EP; Sub: Broken!>
IEC’d: <-14 HP; -6 EP; Slp>

8-Ball joyfully claps her flippers together and shoots off a celebratory Ice Beam, but the attack goes wide and hits the nearby driftwood, causing ice to instantly materialize around it. IEC’d starts muttering in his sleep and extends tiny little feelers which plunge deep into the sand, extracting whatever nutrients might be hidden away beneath the surface.

8-Ball: <-8 EP>
IEC’d: <-4 EP; Ing>

8-Ball’s next Blizzard works much better than that Ice Beam and piles ice and snow upon the poor slumbering seedy. Still Sleep Talking, IEC’d suddenly throws his body forth in an unexpected Tackle, causing his sharp spikes to gouge his Spheal nemesis right across the face. 8-Ball lets out a dejected wail and buries her sore snout in the sand.

8-Ball: <-7 HP; -1 HP Iron Barbs; -10 EP>
IEC’d: <-14 HP; -3 EP>

Poor 8-Ball winces expectedly as she suffers the combined effects of the poison <-11 HP>, makeshift Sandstorm <-3 HP> and Leech Seed <-3 HP>. Her health goes up thanks to the Hail <+3 HP>, but the same can't be said for IEC'd <-3 HP>. Fortunately, the latter Pokemon gets a double shot of health thanks to his foe's Seeded state <+3 HP> as well as the Ingrain <+3 HP>.

Though the sand continues raging, the hailstones abruptly stop pummeling the field.

‡ Round 11 ‡

8-Ball decides to bring a little wintery fun back to her day at the beach as she summons iron clouds to roll in off the water and pepper the field with hailstones the size of berries. IEC’d, still sleeping, lets out a few choice mumbly words and suddenly begins to glow with a silvery light. His outer enamel appears sturdier.

8-Ball: <-4 EP>
IEC’d: <-4 EP; +2 Def>

8-Ball fires off a series of shimmering spheres, each a violent shade of fuchsia. They strike the sleeping medicine ball but only manage to send him tumbling backwards through the air a couple of feet. Bouncing back and ready to fight, IEC’d keeps on Sleep Talking and his mumbly words evolve into long, drawn out wails. The whole performance sounds like nothing more than screeching, but... no, that little seed couldn't possibly be singing, could it? Either way, 8-Ball begins to convulse as IEC'd's Round comes to a close.

8-Ball: <-6 HP; -6 EP>
IEC’d: <-4 HP; -4 EP>

All of a sudden, IEC’d springs back to life. Whoo! 8-Ball makes contact with a sudden Ice Beam, which makes IEC’d… spin? Like a top? Zooming forward, the Ferroseed kicks up even more sand which whips around him like a cyclone. The full force of his spinning body drives 8-Ball deep into the sand. 8-Ball, corner pocket! What? Okay, yeah, that was a little obvious. Sue me.

8-Ball: <-10 HP; -1 HP Iron Barbs; -8 EP>
IEC’d: <-12 HP; -4 EP>

Right on cue (geddit, cue? lolol), 8-Ball lets out a wail as the Toxin ramps up <-13 HP>. Sand rips against her skin <-3 HP> and her health is magically sucked away by that seed <-3 HP>; however, before her health can completely drain away, she's just barely saved thanks to the Hail and her Ice Body <+3 HP>. Barely! The Hail has an inverse effect on IEC'd <-3 HP>, but the Ferroseed's health rises thanks to the Leech Seed and <+3 HP> and the Ingrain <+3 HP>.

‡ Round 12 ‡

Knowing that the end is nigh, 8-Ball focuses the last of her energy toward conjuring a mighty Blizzard which blows in off the water. Swells of snow and ice deposit themselves upon IEC’d and, for a brief moment, 8-Ball crosses her whatever-the-Spheal-equivalent-of-fingers-are and prays for a Freeze. However, her hopes are quickly dashed as IEC’d shakes free from the wintery blanket. IEC’d deploys an explosive seed which bursts within inches of poor 8-Ball, throwing the Spheal back. She promptly faints.

IEC'd endures the next bout of hail <-3 HP> while sucking a little moisture out of the earth <+3 HP>.

‡ Round 13 ‡

Now that the second member of his squad has bitten the dust, Dogfish reaches for a Pokeball to recall his fallen fighter. His third selection takes the form of a wide-eyed wolf cub which lets out a yelp as he nicks himself on some concealed Spikes. The Poochyena leaps up in pain only to land on a bed of jagged Stealth Rocks shortly thereafter. Well, that was a rough start! Growling, Sam waits for his opponent’s next move and, right on cue, IEC’d spits out a familiar seedy through the air. Narrowing his eyes, Sam coughs up a mouthful of flames which engulf the seed and burn it to a crisp. Amidst all this sand and hail, the flaming pod falls to the metallic ground and burns away to ash.

Sam: <-10 HP; -1 EP>
IEC’d: <-4 EP>

Growling, Sam gnashes his teeth which suddenly ignite like matchsticks. He darts through this crazy weather and sinks his flaming chompers right into IEC’d, pressing through the Ferroseed’s silver enamel like a hot knife through butter. Deliciously painful. IEC’d, meanwhile, scatters more pointed rocks in key locations around the beach. Fu fu fu…

Sam: <-1 HP Iron Barbs; -5 EP; SRk2>
IEC’d: <-12 HP; -4 EP>

Sam dispenses with a third flaming attack as he darts in for a second helping of IEC’d. Mmm, tasty! Spiky, yes, but still tasty. Wincing as the Fire Fang ignites his body, IEC’d lets out a cry as the flames leave a nasty welt on his metal shell. Still, rather than fighting back, IEC’d continues to set the stage with another trapping move. Spikes for all!

Sam: <-1 HP Iron Barbs; -5 EP; Spk2>
IEC’d: <-12 HP; -4 EP; Brn>

The health IEC’d drains from the ground <+3 HP> is immediately offset by his scorching Burn <-3 HP> which is followed at once by the pain induced by those pesky hailstones <-3 HP>. Sam also suffers from the Hail <-3 HP> as well as this peculiar perma-Sandstorm <-3 HP>.

‡ Round 14 ‡

Poor, weary IEC’d decides to call a match a match and deliver one last explosive valediction of a combo move. However, as the iron seed prepares to reduce himself to a live incendiary device, Sam darts with a speedy snap of those lovely flaming jaws of his. The ebil puppy is simply too quick and lands the attack before IEC’d can asplode, causing the Ferroseed to faint after a long, well-fought battle.

Sam wrinkles his face as he nurses his swelling tongue. Those friggin’ Iron Barbs hurt!

Sam: <-1 HP Iron Barbs; -5 EP>
IEC’d: <-9 HP>

Though the sand seems to have gone quiet for the moment, the Hail continues a-fallin', much to Sam's annoyance <-3 HP>.

‡ Round 15 ‡

With IEC’d finally brought down by Sam, Darkly now releases his third Pokemon onto the hail-flecked beach. Out pops a little earth-loving bug which clambers over a hunk of scrap metal as he scuttles over toward his fellow Hoenn Pogey. Let the battle commence! Soulscar marks his introduction by tapping his tapering forelegs together, causing the Hail to immediately die away while surges of sand rise up from stillness once again. Frig. If there’s a beach equivalent to miner’s lung, I think I’ve almost certainly acquired it at this point. As sand whips around us again, Sam spouts a smattering of Toxic goo, landing a hit. Soulscar’s stomach churns.

Sam: <-4 EP>
Soulscar: <-4 EP; Txc>

Soulscar lets out a prolonged buzzing noise which rages with as much intensity as the Sandstorm surrounding us. This sonic onslaught hits Sam with all the strength of a cudgel and the Poochyena is momentarily overwhelmed… but that passes. Letting out a howl, the Poochyena clears the air of all this friggin’ sand and summons sunlight to bathe Magnetic Beach in a hot glow. Ooh. Ahh.

Sam: <-16 HP; -4 EP>
Soulscar: <-7 EP>

Sam and Soulscar both go in for physical attacks. Soulscar rakes his pointed pointers across Sam’s snout, causing the ebil puppy to let out a pained yelp as he shakes his head. All these super-effective STAB moves can just screw themselves! Growling and baring those glorious fangs, Sam causes his mouth to fill with flames as he bites down upon Soulscar. This time, there are no pesky Iron Barbs to defend the friggin’ Nincada and, as the sun blazes overhead, the heat is nearly unbearable.

Sam: <-14 HP; -5 EP>
Soulscar: <-15 HP; -6 EP>

Much to Soulscar’s distress, the poor Nincada must now begin his journey on the Toxic Express <-3 HP>. Choo choo!
