"i guess that's two, then."

cait shook her head, though the smile on her face remained firmly in place. there was a strangely excited gleam there, as though she still derived a certain amount of joy from bearing witness to amavi battle.

"i'm impressed. parasect and lombre are on the younger side, but i still expected them to last a little longer than they did," she admitted.

'i guess it's time to switch something around.'

she thrust a finger in the direction of another pokemon before gesturing them to come forth. lombre had already been cleared from the field by then, her companions having removed and deposited her elsewhere for healing.

"granbull."

the bulky fairy cleared the slim river with a grunt, leaving a thin trail of drool in her wake as she barked excitedly in the direction of the ninetales.

"fire fang."

the pokemon lunged forward, at first going about it at a slow gait before galloping forward upon all fours as her fangs were lit aflame. the pokemon sought out the flesh of her counter's dainty shoulder, malice present within her pinprick gaze.

the shift in cait's demeanor is palpable. persephone doesn't comment, holding a thin smile for a long moment before that slips away too. they may be building momentum, but she needs to remind herself to not get too cocky.

the alolan ninetales' cry as the granbull's teeth sink into her flesh is enough to humble both of them; pokemon and trainer. persephone reasons that they needed that. the ninetales twists in place, jaws snapping in barely concealed rage, elegant maw twisted in fury at the way granbull's saliva dripped and matted her fur, charred and searing where the FIRE FANG landed. the pain lingers at the inflicted BURN.

distraught, the ninetales lets out a piercing howl as a flurry of snow and ice bursts from her very body; a BLIZZARD intending to knock the granblue as far away from her as possible, intending to create distance between them so that she can be the one to attack from afar.

as the faster of the two pokemon, she's reluctantly prepared to outrun to the next attempt to engage in a physical attack. actually trying is trifling.

granbull found herself forcibly dislodged from her petite counterpart, the potency of the blizzard sending her tumbling back. she'd eventually return to her paws after being forced roughly several meters back, a thin layer of frost clinging to her hide as a result of the attack.

'let's just hope she doesn't have to deal with being frozen.'

cait was assured by the sight of the granbull taking several steps forward, a defiant gleam present within the dog's gaze as she sought to close the distance between herself and the fox.

"get her, girl! you can do it!"

her mistress's rallying call caused the pokemon to lunge forward, the female ignoring the stiffness present within her muscles and joints in favor of pursuing the pretty-faced creature. flame engulfed her prominent fangs once again, the bulky fairy intending to maliciously nip at the heels of the ninetales if she fled as she attempted another round of fire fang.

maybe it's the effect of the previous attack, but the ninetales isn't as sure on her feet as she would otherwise be. she manages to outpace the granbull for several seconds, buying herself some time by freezing up the puddles left from the earlier rain, but ultimately she stumbles.

the granbull can capitalise on this, and another FIRE FANG finds its mark, catching at ninetales' hind paw. the pokemon writhes in pain as the fires sear at her fur, the flames rippling up her delicate hide. the pokemon goes down snarling and gnashing her teeth. in a final, defiant stand she releases another BLIZZARD aiming for the granbull.

one way or another, when the snow flurry subsides, the ninetales will be knocked unconscious. persephone's expression remains somewhere between neutral and pleasant as she returns the pokemon to its capsule, giving it an affectionate gaze before quickly switching out the next pokemon.

her third pokemon emerges to the arena. her IRON DEFENSE coats her body on release. persephone banks on stacking those in succession to outlast any more potential fire-based attacks.

"heel, granbull!"

cait recalls her pokemon to her side, instructing the thoroughly chilled fairy to remain idle as she assesses the steel-type. it would be unwise for her to allow the dog to face it, the promise of steel-based attacks causing the young woman to consider her remaining choices with care. she had four creatures left - this count including the visibly weary granbull, of course - to rely upon.

'those defenses will be difficult to deal with if i don't find a way to work around it.'

"torterra!"

her xatu makes quick work of escorting the hefty beast onto the field, having smartly utilized teleport to manage the task within the span of a second or two before removing himself from the field with a few easy flaps of his sharp wings.

"earthquake!"

the pokemon responds to his mistress's order, his great foot soon slamming against stone. power flows from him in a massive wave of energy that metamorphoses itself into great spikes of jagged rock that threatens to ram into the dual-type.
