She can feel it. It's coming down to the wire. Both sides are revving their engines and preparing for the end, ready to make their mark and drive home their final fight. [break][break]

Stormy licks her lips as Wadjet lays on the ground, focused on gathering her immense wings and finding her center. Sol is ready, powering the sun with his odd little

forecast

ability. His cloud-like body seems to tremble and glow as his

sunny day

persists, causing him to grow in power and size just the slightest bit.[break][break]

And, as the sun warms the ground and heats up the rocks and sand beneath their feet, it seems to rejuvenate Wadjet, giving her a second wind of extra strength. She's preparing, she's waiting, she's watching.[break][break]

Shinra's Pokemon give out their battle cry at his command and Stormy can feel the entire battlefield hold their breath. [break][break]

Starmie's swift flies across the field in a dazzling array of stars. It's distracting as they wizz in and out in an unfamiliar pattern, and Sol is unable to avoid it. He can't see where exactly they're coming from and he feels them slide through his gelatinous form. [break][break]

However, before the swift might actually slash at Wadjet's skin, or perhaps as a result of it, the fire lizard reels, a bellow escaping her maw just as the Nidoking approaches in his drill run.[break][break]

In Wadjet's mouth is a bright green orb, and she releases an immensely powerful

solar beam

at point blank range, which is met a fraction of a second later with the impact of the opponent's physical attack. [break][break]

The solar beam explodes as it tears up the ground between the Charizard and Nidoking, and Stormy shields her eyes.[break][break]

dervish had managed to find his mark on the charizard as his charge was successful, however it came at a heft cost. taking a solar beam at point blank range was something that was too big of a cost that the nidoking suffered as he felt the beam burn his skin as the ground beneath them exploded beneath them. what was once two pokemon was a cloud of dust and smoke that covered the field and blinded both trainers from the fate of their pokemon. shinra was starting to feel a bit anxious because he couldn't tell if his prime player was out of the game or not.

his anxiety didn't help when starmie decided to act on its own and unleash a torrent of water with a brine towards the castform. on one hand shinra was glad that it was still going to continue the fight even on its own. that little water type sure was a star in his book. however his praise for it was overshadowed by the worry that the dust was still settling and not a single speck of movement came from either the nidoking and charizard. perhaps both of them were down and out for the count.

that was until a roar echoed throughout the arena. a familiar roar to shinra alone that put a smile on his face as a purple tail lashed out from the dust and the silhouette of dervish was visible through the smoke. the nidoking was determined now to finish this fight till its last breath. it raised its arm up and toxic sludge coated it as he brought it down in a poison jab on the charizard if it was still down or close by. his rage blinding him if it was even aware if its foe was there or not.

Sol is still putting pieces of himself back together, like gathering little bits of cloud as he traipses around the arena. He's preoccupied and distracted, worried about the giant explosion that he narrowly missed already as he dove out of the way of the wild

solar beam

. The dust takes a painfully long time to settle, and he can feel Stormy's tenseness increase.[break][break]

And then he's doused in water and he melts into the ground like a puddle, surprised and cold and unprepared. The brine was successful in taking him out of the picture for a moment longer, as the tiny Pokemon had had no chance to try and lessen the effect of the water-type attack with a

sunny day

strengthened

fire blast

.[break][break]

While the Castform fights to get back on his feet, Wadjet struggles to put up one last fight. Her solar beam had been sucessful it seemed, but at the cost of the ground they walked on. Water from the nearby hotsprings seemed to have begun leaking into the fissure she had created, and stepping in it as she got back on her feet proved uncomfortable and mildly painful.[break][break]

But with it, her

blaze

ability activates. Steam billows from her nostrils as she fights the dark spots in the corners of her eyes, the threat that she might fall down one more time and not get up again. [break][break]

The Nidoking's roar alerts her to the danger, to the Pokemon's plan, and she bellows in response, her throat hoarse as fire spews from her lungs. It heats up the air between them, the power magnified by her

blazing

strength under pressure. And then she lunges at the same time the Nidoking comes down hard with a poison jab. The impact is painful, but she fights back with a

dragon claw

despite the poison seeping into her limps and causing them to seize up.[break][break]

Meanwhile, Sol has regained his posture and righted himself, shaking off the rattle of the brine. He's exhausted too, especially given how many times he's changed the weather. It's taken a toll on his overall strength. He fights back with a

fire blast

directed at the Starmie, but he's aware what a pitiful attempt he's making to keep it off of Wadjet.[break][break]

the charizard's claw razed against's dervish's skin leaving behind a slight red mark across his torso as he glared at the fire lizard. while he didn't want to admit it the two of them seemed like they were fighting off fainting at any moment. heck at this rate any move could be their last one, so they had to make it count. dervish was ready for those odds, sure its rivalry with this lizard was something great it was still leagues ahead of him in terms of being the better fighter. that much he would admit if he could talk and share his thoughts with his trainer.

with a low growl he charged yet again, this time with his arms outstretched once more. his growl evolved into a roar as he reached out to grab the charizard's wings, doubtful it could even muster the strength to even fly again it wanted it to stay put as a chill ran up his spine and into his throat. from in between his teeth the glow of something blue and cold could be seen as he unleashed a cold ice beam point blank again right at the charizard as he pushed her forward and into the ground if he could gather the strength.

starmie on the other hand stared down the little weather ball pokemon as it struggled to get back on its feet (metaphorically) and release another fire blast at its direction. normally a sane pokemon would move, even shinra was telling it to move. however the starfish mutant was busy working its analytic mind to the bone with a winning strategy as it noticed the fight going on between its partner nidoking and enemy charizard. the burns of the fire blast were intense as it made contact but nothing its body couldn't handle and recover once this was all over, sure it had a bit of a wobble now but the starmie had a plan.

more stars gathered around its body, many much larger than before and their numbers increasing to an even bigger amount than the last few times as its power grew thanks to its analyzing of the fight. things could be ended quickly if some sacrifices were willing to be made, and so starmie let loose another swift attack. third time was the charm right?

as the stars flew a few of them did hit an unfortunate mark that left shinra in disbelief. however the starmie was confident that this was the best outcome for it alone to survive this fight. many of them slammed into dervish's body who let out a roar of pain as he was pelted underneath them, the last of his strength fading as the shock of the attack zapped it all away and the beast fell, the darkness taking over him as he did.

If it isn't already abundantly clear, Wadjet is the stronger battler between her and Sol. The young Charizard had begun to outgrow her timid and bashful nature, taking a shot in the dark to be the Pokemon her trainer knew she could be. So it breaks her heart to fight so hard and not take down the Nidoking. [break][break]

Which is probably why she fights so valiantly, pushing the darkness that creeps up on her conscious, that threatens to steal away her thoughts and her strength. She's slowing. Her wings are so heavy, she can't get back into the air. [break][break]

And then the Nidoking reaches out to grab her by her bruised and battered wings and she bellows in pain. Fire spurts in her throat like a weak spark plug that isn't catching. [break][break]

Stormy sucks in a breath as she watches their final swings take place. [break][break]

Before the ice beam could blast her socks off, Wadjet manages to blast a last-minute and desperate

flamethrower

into the mouth of the Nidoking. Ice still builds on the peripherals, coating the tops of her wings and the side of her face as the two incredibly power attacks meet in the middle. There's a miniature explosion followed by dazzling stars.[break][break]

What?[break][break]

Sol is unable to distract the Starmie, and he nearly deteriorates in disbelief and horror. The swift culls both the Nidokind and Wadjet. The two lay in a heap on top of one another, unable to get back to their feet. And so it leaves only Castform and Starmie.[break][break]

Stormy is smiling, though. [break][break]

The stars swarm Sol as well, dazzling him for a moment and making it difficult to see which way was up or down. But when the attack subsists, he seems to be having trouble holding himself together. [break][break]

"It's okay, Sol. I know."[break][break]

He's dazed, helpless. And he's afraid. Suddenly, he's the only one fighting to defend his honor, Wadjet is no longer there to help him through this fight. She's the strong one, not him.[break][break]

In his confusion, he forgets, or perhaps is too weak, to change the weather back into a storm. The

hurricane

he tries to conjure fizzles, a measly breeze the only thing he can effectively force from his body. His form can't seem to decide what it wants to be. He's juggling his forms like some sort of optical illusion.[break][break]

shinra stares in disbelief at the sight of his nidoking and stormy's charizard go down together in another explosion. something inside shinra told him he should be angry about this.

he was smiling just like stormy.

this battle was just...explosive! he hadn't had something like this in a long time and it reminded him of why he started training pokemon before competing himself. battles like these really got his spirit going and now he was ready to use it to finish the job. "starmie! end that little marshmallow! show them why messing with us is always a bad idea!"

starmie focused its sights yet again on the castform, its image reflected in its gem before disappearing in a glow as an aura flickered around the water type. psychic energy began to eminate from it as the hurricane picked up, but the starfish braved the weather. it had a job to finish for its trainer, and it was not going to disappoint. it focus its psychic on the castform, engulfing the small pokemon in a grip of its power before launching it towards the hot water of the springs. its pitiful form looked like it could use some relaxing after all.

The heat of the battle had come to an end, and it was abundantly clear that Sol was no longer capable of defending himself properly. Too flabbergasted and worried about messing up, he messed up by not reacting faster. The Starmie's psychic holds onto him like a vice and, try as he might, he can't stop it.[break][break]

He's flung across the arena, landing with a tiny splash as he flounders about in the water. With his sunny-form doused, he conjures a

rain dance

, but only really for flavour. The rain comes down as weak droplets, not with the same impact that his previous storm had had. It merely feels like it's spitting. But, he's happy now, hunkered in the steamy water. His water-droplet self conceeds, as he's far too out of breath and tired to continue fighting.[break][break]

"That's fine, Sol. Take your well-earned rest."[break][break]

Stormy says, shrugging. The Castform seems genuinely disappointed and ashamed in his lack of abilities and his cowardice, but Stormy has already seen enough of his strength. There was a time he was absolutely worthless and she loathed him, but mostly for selfish reasons. His confidence stemmed from her belief in him.[break][break]

The woman glances at her collapsed Charizard. The beast seems inclined to get away from the sweaty body of her Nidoking opponent, and she limps away to take a breath and observe the interaction between her trainer and his.[break][break]

"That was.. probably the most intense battle I've ever had. I'm impressed!"[break][break]

She fishes for something in her pocket, retrieving her signature gym badge. She extends it to him with a flat palm, smirking.[break][break]

"I'd say you fought valiantly. I definitely know not to mess with you."[break][break]
