[attr="class","spiral"]what happens when water meets temperatures below freezing? it turns into ice. the
RAIN DANCE is telegraphed by the sudden rain clouds above and fernando does nothing to stop it. he doesn't need to. the chilling atmosphere of several
BLIZZARDS have already had their impact on the weather. the minute the water starts to fall they shift into ice. the rain clouds are overwritten by the glaceon's
HAIL. weather wars are fought and won on more factors than a single move. in this case, it's several.
the
ELECTRIC TERRAIN is a fearsome beast. it reminds him of verdanturf and kyle's concerns about not being able to match silas are now considered null and void. fernando expects a follow up electric attack and calls for the
LIGHT SCREEN. a translucent veil of an orange barrier covers his team in response.
the
WATER SPOUT drenches the field and the copious weight of water coming down on them is felt by the powerful blow. the
LIGHT SCREEN mitigates what it can and the water becomes frigid as it swarms the sand and trespasses on the ongoing
BLIZZARD. the glalie and abomasnow are quick to revert their footing. water spells disaster and they will not let the terrain revolve around their opponent's request. a
FREEZE DRY SHEER COLD turns water into ice and the transition is violent and instant, ice jutting out of any instance of exposed water, fernando finding himself standing behind his ice pokemon and
PROTECTED by his bronzong.
THUNDER rains from above with a
CHARGED fervor. the electricity cracks the very air it splits, a resounding boom erupting from the attack's name sake. fernando's bronzong does its best to
PROTECT him from the discharge while his other pokemon are not so lucky. the abomasnow's grass typing helps resist the attack naturally but the others will feel the blow. their aptitude for keeping the field in their favor, saturated in ice rather than water, dampens the full possible effect of the attack should his plan have gone without resistance. his glalie sits behind a well rounded
PROTECT but the others are not so lucky. their
SNOW CLOAKS allow them to hide and maneuver in the
HAIL with impunity but the impact of the
THUNDER spreads out indiscriminately, catching them when it spreads in a frenzied
DISCHARGE.
a spectacular series of attacks truly fit for a character who's trounced hoenn's gyms and sits on the throne of hoenn's elite four. fernando smiles to himself, content with the show of force, and is about to retaliate when another combatant paints themselves as a target.
while alexei takes the time to pick out his pokemon, command them with a lengthy explanation after the
THUNDER strikes, fernando's pokemon have long prepared to retaliate. the sight of four eager pokemon flying into the pouring, torrential
HAIL makes them an immediate target for fernando's artillery. the porygon has a primed
LOCK-ON and answers their intrusion with a precise
ZAP CANNON. the
ELECTRIC TERRAIN only bolsters the attack's power as the beam of pure electricity fires from an angle that takes into account the
DOWNLOADED calculations of the pokemon's potential flight paths and likely evasive manuevers. the much larger gyarados is the primary target, fernando's porygon familiar with the pokemon species and its inherent weakness to anything electric. if they will come from the skies then he'll clip their wings.
the culmination of their efforts, should they continue after the
ZAP CANNON, results in a tremendous
HURRICANE. the temperature of the winds and their resounding fury create a flurry of
ICY WIND, swirling in a vortex that hits the cold front of fernando's
BLIZZARD. the
HURRICANE drives it back but cannot eliminate the weather outright.
HAIL persists and the temperatures has already descended.
HURRICANE is powerful and on par with
BLIZZARD but one attack is launched while another is maintained. which one wins over time? the consistent one.
alexeis' pokemon begin to back off but there's a price to pay for coming in close enough to attack. bronzong's
BLOCK layers itself on top of the pokemon's
IMPRISON and escaping the mystical force field becomes a task in itself. anyone within range of the
BLIZZARD,
IMPRISON, and
HAIL is subjected to stay. if they're pokemon, anyway.
now that their enemies are all gathered up, there's no one better to swoop in to deliver punishment than —
