‡ Round 5 ‡

Things are looking awfully precarious for Team Cynder, who’s down one teammate and shedding health left and right. Cicero, who’s fuggin’ exhausted as all hell, huffs and puffs for a moment while Robirdo swoops in and whacks Miko upside the head with one of his wings. The slumbering Sneasel merely grunts. Snake, on the other hand, does a flip in the air and aims an Aerial Ace down at… well, she doesn’t want to hit Mr. Devil Poops, but since it’s downright impossible to deliberately miss an attack that can’t miss she ends up crashing right into poor Mr. Devil Poops. The Spiritomb glares at Snake who shrugs and envelops them both in a Protective bubble. Don’t worry, Mr. Devil Poops. You’ll be thanking her soon enough.

Meanwhile, Rosalinda does a little jig which causes a ringing noise to rise in the still air. The sound waves swell toward Mr. Devil Poops, who can’t hear them behind Snake’s Protect. Wups. Tittering, Lillium does a dance of her own and creates a similar jingling, which causes Shindo to wake from Sleep. Aww yeah! Jiggly back in tha haus! At this point, Alphonse darts in to lay a smackdown on Mr. Devil Poops, who sure seems to be a popular Pogeymon all of a sudden. However, Alphonse’s efforts are rebuffed by Snake’s Protect, which stops the Brick Break wholesale.

Still a little tired, Cicero refuses to let anyone count him out of the battle just yet. He rises a few feet off the ground, takes aim at the creampuff whose mothereffing Ice moves gave him so much grief during the first match-up… and… KABLAMMO!



Shindo is blown away by the attack and Cicero flops down to the ground, sweat collecting all over his face. As Demonic Stool’s Confusion compels him to chew away at his keystone—ouch—Shindo pulls himself back up. With a beam of frigid energy, he goes for the revenge shot. Cicero is struck and knocked clear out of the battle. And then there were eight. RIP, Cicero. For ASB’s resident screw up, you done pretty good, kid.

Shindo: <-15 HP; -8 EP; Slp no more>
Miko: <-13 HP; +6 EP>
Alphonse: <-6 EP>
Lillium: <-4 EP>

Cicero: <-6 HP fatigue; -3 HP>
Robirdo: <-5 EP>
Rosalinda: <-4 EP>
Demonic Stool: <-5 HP; -3 HP Cfn>
Snake: <-12 EP>

Poor Miko continues to be a target for brutality, taking yet another Steel Wing care of Robirdo, who’s been pulling a Robirdo pretty consistently this entire battle. Keep up the good work, bud! Snake tries to follow suit, but she ends up fumbling the execution of her Iron Tail and misses her opponent rather narrowly. Rosalinda, sitting comfortably inside a Protect, watches as Lillium tries to suck away some health, but her feelers aren’t able to penetrate the Gardevoir’s shield. The same thing happens when Alphonse tries to hit her with a Shadow Ball. Nada. Rosalinda giggles. She’s a spiteful butt and she loves it.

Meanwhile, Mr. Devil Poops gives his head a shake and clears the Confusion that’s been giving him such a hard time. Bringing himself with an inch of defeat, he sacrifices some health in order to put a Curse on Lillium. The Petilil squeals and buries her face in the dirt. Finally, Shindo fires a Thunderbolt into the sky, scoring a clean hit on Robirdo. The Skarmory squawks. Apparently electrocution hurts or something crazy like that. Go figure.

Shindo: <-8 EP>
Miko: <-13 HP; +6 EP>
Alphonse: <-6 EP>
Lillium: <-6 EP; Crs>

Robirdo: <-15 HP; -5 EP>
Rosalinda: <-8 EP>
Demonic Stool: <-14 HP; -10 EP; Cfn no more>
Snake: <-8 EP>

Try to guess what Robirdo’s gonna do now. C’mon, try. Try and guess. Did you guess Steel Wing? Well, yeah, you’d be an idiot not to, ‘cause that’s exactly what he does. The attack connects with Miko and rouses the Sneasel from Sleep. Ready to make up for some lost ground, Miko hurls a swirling ball of shadows at Rosalinda, scoring a hit. Bam! She hisses, returning the favour with a flaming fist straight to Miko’s face. And with that, he hits the damage cap and will take no further harm.

Still flourishing under all this sunlight, Lillium stores a hearty helping of energy within her leaves and unleashes them in a concentrated beam at Mr. Devil Poops. The poor Spiritomb tries to cobble together a Destiny Bond, but he ain’t fast enough. Succumbing to the SolarBeam, he perishes. Alphonse, who was gonna DynamicPunch Mr. Devil Poops, is left to pick a new target. It floats up to Robirdo and tries to clobber the iron bird, but the attack misses. With only seven Pokemon left in battle, Shindo tries to bring that number down to six by targeting Snake with a Fire Blast. Even though the attack hits, scorching Snake through and though, it’s not enough to put her over the edge. Shindo pouts. Balls.

And with that, the sunlight dims. Lillium's heart rate lowers as well.

Shindo: <-10 EP>
Miko: <-14 HP capped; -6 EP; Slp no more>
Alphonse: <-7 EP; -1 HP fatigue>
Lillium: <-10 EP>

Robirdo: <-9 HP; Cfn; -5 EP>
Rosalinda: <-12 HP; -6 EP>
Demonic Stool: <-14 HP>
Snake: <-18 HP>

Rosalinda <+3 HP> uses her roots to dredge up health from the soil, Snake <-3 HP> suffers some Burnination, Miko <-0 HP capped> is spared from Curse, Alphonse <-3 HP> is also feeling a little Burny, Rosalinda <-3 HP> funnels a little health to Snake <+3 HP> via Leech Seed, Lillium <+3 HP> is blessed by Ingrain, Shindo <-10 HP> is defeated by his Curse and Lillium <-7 HP> gets a dose of that too.
