As the Hammer Arm comes down, Yip is quick to block it - bringing her now-burly arms up to protect herself! It hurt, for certain - but the Fluffy does wonders in softening the blow, allowing the Smeargle-turned-Bewear to remain standing.

This close up, Yip was in a prime position to counter-attack. And what better way to finish this fight, than with a Hammer Arm of her own? She swings her arm out horizontally, looking to strike Natsu upside the head, and to finish the fight..!

As the final blows are made though, Ettie perks up. She smiles and giggles bright as she steps out to meet Yip on the battlefield, reaching up on her tippy-toes to pat the now much-taller disguised Smeargle on the head. "Good Yip! Did good!"

And smiling to Kazuya and Natsu, she'd add "Friends did good! Play more later?"

Yip is giggling as Natsu's covered in paint. Even if it's only the top of his head, it still looks a bit ridiculous! But, she quickly becomes aware of the rage in the Bewear's demeanor - and the fact that the ursine fighter was charging right at her..!

Yip hops back and back to avoid the enraged swings, trying to create distance between herself and Natsu. But as she does, she is painting something around herself - something in pinks and blacks and a touch of white...

... Until she Transforms into a fascimile of Natsu! Then all of a sudden, she's no longer falling back. Instead, she's charging forward - making to try and slam into the Bewear with a Super Power..!

As Yip manages to land a blow, the Smeargle snickers with a hue of playful mischief - it always seemed to take opponents off guard, when she starts Copycat-ing them! And trying out moves with Copycat, so that she doesn't have to worry about having to commit (like with Sketch,) was fun!

But, as a Hammer Arm swings forth, the Smeargle is just that slightest bit more nimble - darting around Natsu's strike! She bounces about a little, more or less running circles around Natsu - before deciding to try and attempt a point-blank Tera Blast at Natsu, trying to spray his face with paint..!

Ettie, meanwhile, made a happy little giggle as she watched the shenanigans at hand - letting out a little howl-like whoop to cheer Yip on!

Ettie recognized that even in play, sometimes someone bit a little too deep, or swung a little too hard. But ultimately, neither Ettie nor Kazuya were hunting one another, neither of them were fighting over resources, neither of them were enemies. Even if things got a little rough, the intention was still play in the end, right?

That being said though, Yip was certainly having a rough time from the get-go; the paint was not able to stop Natsu in his tracks, and the Smeargle gets chopped! She's sent reeling back by the strike, yelping a little as she bounces backwards a few paces... But as she regains her balance, she's immediately ready to hop back into the fray!

Eager to try and turn Natsu's move against him, Yip would Copycat it - swinging her arms forth in a Cross Chop of her own!

(OOC Note: There's been some round confusion that I tried to clear up with Ven - the fight should have ended with my previous post (my 56 + 15, versus her 61) - but I haven't been able to get her attention/a response from her on it. SHIV okay'd me making a final post then turning this in.)

Yip could see eternity - and in turn, was able to move with seemingly godlike reflexes. Cordy would come in close - and suddenly, the Smeargle was moving! It was as though the movements weren't wholly conscious, though - instead an autopilot brought on by sheer awareness of everything that was to be.

And this close up, she would let loose a point-blank Tera Blast to finish the fight.

Ettie continued to blink owlishly - it was clear that she'd been caught quite off guard by her Smeargle's shenanigans... But as Yip seemed to snap out of the trance, the wildchild would perk back up. "Did good!" She cheered, coming up to pat her buddy on the head.

And smiling to Jack and Cordy, she'd nod and add "Did good, too!" for the both of them.

Were it any other time, perhaps the two would be matched in power, and Yip would be able to try and take Zing off guard. But here, Yip is becoming fatigued, whereas Zing still had some energy to spare. The Smeargle-turned-Beedrill is thrown back as the clash resolves, the paint that formed the transformation melting away to reveal a KO'd Smeargle.

Ettie let out a sigh of relief as the noise finally began to die down, her hands drifting down from her ears. She knew her pack could be loud during a communal howl, but Shalin's pokemon were something else.

Which, she'd step up to pat Yip on the head - "Did good." - before casting Shalin a smile. "Did good, too!"

Though Yip attempted to duck and weave the best she could, she wasn't able to avoid being stung a few more times by the Twineedles - and she swayed on her feet. She had been caught off-guard by the sudden change in form, and the additions it offered.

As a last ditch effort though, she would attempt to take on this new shape as well - Transforming into Queen Zing by painting over herself!

And in this new form, Yip would put her new stingers to immediate use - attempting to strike at Queen Zing with a Drill Run..!

Ow, ow, ow - being stung by a Combee was bad enough, Yip knew that much trying to yoink some honey for herself once upon a time. But being stung by a Beedrill? It hurt so much worse; which likely made sense, given that the usual Beedrill was like. Ten times the size of a Combee!

Yip stumbled back a little as Zing was able to land the Fell Stinger on her - and she whined a bit as she rubbed at the lump that was starting to form as a result of it. Again, ow.

Eager to give Zing a taste of her own medicine, Yip would Copycat the Fell Stinger - the paint at the tip of her tail forming into a point, that she would attempt to sting the Queen with!

Though Queen Zing was fast, Yip was getting pretty used to fighting speedy opponents - particularly aiming at them! As a result, the charge would be met with a deluge of paint from Yip's Tera Blasts! The Smeargle, meanwhile, managed to bounce back ad away from the jabs - snickering softly from having given the royal Beedrill a makeover.

Though, when that approached seemed to start her off strong, Yip wondered - what was the harm in sticking with what worked? Twirling her tail a little, the Smeargle would once more aim it at Queen Zing for another Tera Blast..!

Ettie blinks a bit at the approach of Katsuya and Natsu - she doesn't seem much all that intimidated by either of them, instead curious and inquisitive. "Hello! Am Ettie! Is Yip!" She chirped happily, gesturing first to herself, then to the Smeargle at her side. And at the request for a fight, she nodded eagerly. "Can playfight! Lets go!"

Yip, perking up at the sight of the determined Bewear, would begin to bounce even more eagerly. Especially as Ettie terastallized her - taking on the paler-white crystals of Normal Tera!

Eager to start strong, the Smeargle wielded her tail as if it were a rifle - and for her first move, would fire off a Tera Blast from it in the form of a pressurized spray of white paint!

Yip snickered as this most recent clash won out in her favor, tail swishing eagerly. It seemed that this Absol and her trainer were getting all thrown off - at least, in the Smeargle's eyes - and it was a bit amusing, to be honest.

But, then came another use of Future Sight; and the Smeargle couldn't help but tilt her head a little as she observed this. What even was this move that Cordy was using?

Curious, Yip would go to Copycat this one as well, hoping to better understand the Future Sight in the process, and...

...

SHE COULD SEE ETERNITY

From an outside perspective, Yip was staring blankly off into space.

From an inside perspective, she was having an out-of-this-world experience that no dog was meant to see.

Ettie blinked a bit, vaguely concerned. "Yip..?"

Oh - Shalin was her opponent. Ettie perked a little, recognizing the Ranger, and giving a smile and a wave - "Hello, Friend..!"

... But at the same time, knowing said Ranger's choice of pokemon, she understood that this fight was going to be a noisy one. Especially given Yip's tendencies. So, once she finished pulling out her Tera Orb to terastallize the Smeargle, she'd sit back and cover her ears.

Yip, meanwhile, would take note of Queen Zing - bouncing from foot to foot as she took on the Ghost typing. A flying pokemon would probably be troublesome to fight... But, she had plenty of tricks up her sleeve to try and deal with the Beedrill!

And eager to start out strong, she'd open with a Tera Blast - attempting to spray Queen Zing with a pressurized stream of off-grey-purple paint!
