More training.. whoopdee flipin' do XD

[Kuku-kun]

Cloyst quickly withdrew himself, both attacks still doing damage. "Cloyst, Sakura, team up and use a combo of Twister and Icicle Spear!" Reika told her pokemon, they nodded, throwing their attacks together to create an Icicle Twister.

[Et Cetera]

Trapinch and Vulpix both ran towards Sakura and Cloyst, trying to get through the combination of Icicle Spear and Twister as fast as they could. Vulpix made it through fairly okay, but Trapinch took a bit of damage. "If you want combinations, Reika, then that's what you get! Trapinch, cover the field with a Sand-Attack and Vulpix---attack them both with Ember while they cannot see..." Charles smiled and in an instant, a shroud of sand encased everyone.

Trapinch: 70%

Vulpix: 70%

Cloyst: 66%

Sakura: 91%

[Kuku-kun]

Reika growled, but got an idea fairly quickly. "Sakura, get rid of the sand with Twister!" Reika called, Sakura, even though she couldn't see three feet infront of her, whiped up a Tornado that got rid of the sand... half decently. Even though Sakura used her Twister attack, both of Reika's pokemon got hit with Ember. "Now, Sakura, Cloyst, combine Thunder Wave with Icicle Spear!" Reika called to her pokemon, they nodded, sending an Electric and Ice attack at the Trapinch and Vulpix.

[Et Cetera]

Charles, knowing that Thunder Wave would be hard to dodge, assessed the situation and called out to his two Pokémon, "Just run further back! Away from Cloyst and Sakura!" With a nod from Vulpix, she scooped Trapinch up and used a Quick Attack to bolt to the opposite side of the battlefield. They both watched in amazement as the Icicle Spears melted, but were shocked, quite literally, by Thunderwave. "Trapinch---get 'em stuck with Sand Tomb! And Vulpix, use another Ember on 'em!"

Trapinch: 70% +Paralysis

Vulpix: 70% +Paralysis

Cloyst: 60% -Accuracy

Sakura: 86% -Accuracy

[Kuku-kun]

Sakura did manage to dodge the Ember, but Cloyst wasn't as lucky. "Sakura, Dragon Rage on Trapinch, Cloyst, Icicle Spear on Vulpix!" Reika called to her two pokemon, they nodded, sending off their attacks.

[Et Cetera]

Trapinch managed to get out of the way of the fiery Dragon Rage attack, but Vulpix didn't have time to avoid every Icicle Spear. She ended up taking a few hits, but nothing too serious. "Trapinch---use another Faint Attack on Sakura! And Vulpix---you use a Quick Attack on her!" With a nod, they each set out towards the Dragon-type.

Trapinch: 70% +Paralysis

Vulpix: 64% +Paralysis

Cloyst: 54% -Accuracy

Sakura: 81% -Accuracy

(Sand Tomb still in effect)

[Kuku-kun]

Sakura grinned as she got hit with the Faint Attack, once Vulpix came running along, Sakura jumped up, so she wasn't greatly injured. "Cloyst, Icicle Spear, Sakura, Dragon Rage!" Reika called to her pokemon, they nodded, putting their attacks together.

[Et Cetera]

Again, after Trapinch was hit by the powerful combination attack, the two of them teamed up on Charles' comman. "Vulpix, run in with a Quick Attack to Sakura from the side. And Trapinch---you use one more Faint Attack the MOMENT that Vulpix is complete, 'kay?" Charles whispered to them, trying not to be overheard. "Go." He told them---and they obeyed. Vulpix going left, and Trapinch waddling to the right.

Trapinch: 57% +Paralysis

Vulpix: 64%

Cloyst: 51% -Accuracy

Sakura: 67% -Accuracy

[Kuku-kun]

Reika watched as Sakura got hit with both attacks, but that wasn't going to stop her. "Cloyst, Icicle Spear on Trapinch, Sakura, melt them with Dragon Rage, then direct the attack to Vulpix!" Reika told her pokemon just above a whisper, her pokemon nodded, setting off in different directions.

[Et Cetera]

Even though her evasiveness and speed were very high, Vulpix couldn't get out of the way in time to prevent the attack. She felt the fire warp around her---but it's the load of water coating her that did the most. Regardless, she made it through and unleashed a fiery Ember attack with Charles order. "Now, Trapinch, follow that up with a good Bite attack on Sakura's tail!" With a nod, again, they each set out towards Sakura

Trapinch: 57% +Paralysis

Vulpix: 52%

Cloyst: 51% -Accuracy

Sakura: 52% -Accuracy

[Kuku-kun]

Sakura sighed, "*Why me Lord? What have I ever done?!?*" She sang, getting hit with both attacks before unleasing another Dragon Rage. "Cloyst, follow that up with an Icicle Spear at Trapinch!" Reika told her ground type, hoping that her non-excistent plan would work.

[Et Cetera]

Vulpix was hit with the Dragon Rage attack, sustaining a fiar amount of damage. However, it did manage to sneak in another Confuse Ray on the Dragon-type first. The blue beam danced towards Sakura in an almost straight line. "Vulpix, Vul!" The light color of it's eyes quickly disappeared.

Although it could manage to dodge two Icicle Spears, the last three was what was tricky. The Ground-type was hit with the attack and ended up tumbling backwards against it's will. "Trapinch, Trap!" It cried, eventually using a Faint Attack on Sakura at his Trainer's command. "Trap!" It darted...

Trapinch: 52% +Paralysis

Vulpix: 43%

Cloyst: 51% -Accuracy

Sakura: 41% -Accuracy

[Kuku-kun]

Sakura got hit with both attacks, starting to get tierd. Instead of using Dragon Rage like Reika ordered, she attacked herself because of the confusion. "Cloyst, use Withdraw, then Inicle Spear on both Vulpix and Trapinch!" Reika called to her water type, wishing she had a plan.

[Et Cetera]

Both Trapinch and Vulpix took the Icicle Spears, having been unable to dodge them in time. To make matters worse, Trapinch's paralysis set in, disabling it from making any movements or attacking in any manner. Seeing this, Vulpix used a quick Ember and Quick Attack combination on Sakura, hoping to do some sort of damage.

Trapinch: 45% +Paralysis (active)

Vulpix: 36%

Cloyst: 51% -Accuracy

Sakura: 27% -Accuracy +Confusion

[Kuku-kun]

Sakura, thanks to her confusion, dodged out of the way right in time, then set off for a Dragon Rage. Cloyst used another Icicle Spear on Rekia's command, aiming at Trapinch.

[Et Cetera]

Vulpix managed to narrowly dodged the Dragon Rage. Immediately after, she darted at Sakura in another Quick Attack, hoping for the best. Trapinch, on the other hand, wasn't as lucky. Being paralyzed, it could do nothing but take the Icicle Spear. Once it'd worn off, though, it used another Faint Attack on Sakura.

Trapinch: 34% +Paralysis

Vulpix: 36%

Cloyst: 51% -Accuracy

Sakura: 27% -Accuracy +Confusion

[Kuku-kun]

Reika smirked. "Cloyst, Protect." She said, Cloyst was near Sakura at the time, so he used Protect to save Sakura from the Quick Attack. "Now, Sakura, Twister!" Reika said, hoping it would work.

[Et Cetera]

The Twister, having hit both Vulpix and Trapinch, caused a slight amount of damage. Now, with more frustration than ever, Trapinch darted forward and attempted to use a Bite attack. Meanwhile, Vulpix charged up for an Ember. Once Trapinch was out of the way, she released the fiery attack, watching it with a look of malice as it swirled and warped in the Dragon's direction.

Trapinch: 28% +Paralysis

Vulpix: 30%

Cloyst: 51% -Accuracy

Sakura: 16% -Accuracy +Confusion ((Faint Attack always hits.))

[Kuku-kun]

Cloyst went in the way, so both attack landed on him. "Cloyst, Sakura, Twister and Icicle Spear Conbonation!" Reika called, they did as they we asked, Sakura whipping up a mini tonado while Cloyst threw in icicle spears.

[Et Cetera]

Because of the strong winds of the Twister, the Icicle Spears did not go directly towards them. Instead, they swerved, veered, and just hit up against them, causing less damage. However, still frustrated, Trapinch used yet another Bite attack while Vulpix backed him up with a Quick Attack. Both of these were again aimed at the Dragon-type.

Trapinch: 18%

Vulpix: 21%

Cloyst: 31% -Accuracy

Sakura: 16% -Accuracy +Confusion

[Kuku-kun]

Sakura managed to doge the Bite attack, but it was usless to evaid Quick Attack. "Dragon Rage and Icicle Spear at Trapinch!" Reika told her pokemon. Cloyst used his Icicle Spear first so they wouldn't get evaporated by the Dragon Rage.

[Et Cetera]

Vulpix was hit by the Icicle Spears while Trapinch was blasted by the bright flames of Sakura's Dragon Rage. "Okay, Trapinch! Try another Bite on Sakura! Vulpix, use another Ember attack! If they hit, that should take her out of the battle for good..." Charles watched as the two Pokémon darted towards them, strategy still in mind.

Trapinch: 10%

Vulpix: 15

Cloyst: 31% -Accuracy

Sakura: 6% -Accuracy +Confusion

[Kuku-kun]

Sakura got hit hard and fainted from battle. "You tried your best, good job Sakura." Reika said as she returned Sakura to her pokeball. "Now Cloyst, knock 'em both with an Iicle Spear!" Reika sad to her water pokemon, not giving up hope.

[Et Cetera]

Now becoming excited, Vulpix was unable to dodge the Icicle Spear. Trapinch, however, was more lucky. He managed to barely slide through the barrage of ice shards. Afterwards, though, Vulpix was able to recooperate and use Ember. "Vulpix, Vul!" She growled, launching the fiery attack at the Ice-type. Being the orange color that she was, Vulpix was able to blend in with the fire and follow the flames to Cloyst, where she used a Quick Attack. Also, to follow that up, Trapinch attempted a Bite on the Shellder.

Trapinch: 10%

Vulpix: 6%

Cloyst: 31% -Accuracy

[Kuku-kun]

Cloyst closed his shell just in time to take minimum damage. Then, on Reika's command, he used another Icicle Spear, this time on Vulpix.

[Et Cetera]

Although she took extra precautions to avoid the Icicle Spear, Vulpix was hit and knocked out cold. "That's alright, Vulpix. You've done well, you deserve a rest..." Charles raised a Pokéball and Vulpix disappeared in a flash of crimson light. "Now, Trapinch," Charles began, "use Sand Tomb on Cloyst!" With a faint nod of its head, the ground beneath the Shellder began to warp and become nearly the consistancy of water as it turned into a form of Quick Sand. Walls began to form, too, creating a large divit in which the Shellder was located.

Trapinch: 10%

Cloyst: 15% -Accuracy

[Kuku-kun]

Reika wasn't giving up hope yet. "Cloyst, full power Iicle Spear." She said, crossing her arms across her chest in habit. Cloyst charged up a bit before releasing the ice attack.

[Et Cetera]

Trapinch was able to dodge a few of the sharpened shards of ice, but not nearly all of them. Several of them scraped alongside him, dealing a fair amount of damage. However, while being attacked, he managed to use a Faint Attack on the Shellder, hitting quite hard. "Trapinch, Trap!" It wobbled in circles, dizzy and low on energy.

Trapinch: Fainted

Cloyst: Fainted (Sand Tomb)

[Kuku-kun]

"Good job, return." Reika said, returning her pokemon to it's pokeball. She then faced Charles. "Whoop, another tie."

[Et Cetera]

"That's alright." He chuckled, placing the Pokéball of his on his belt. "Oh well, maybe you will win next time!" He stuck his tongue out and turned to look down the bustling street outside of the park. "So, Reika, are you ready to go battle Xavier? I think I am..." He shrugged, turning back to her.
