The Gliscor falls in the hail of needles, finally taken down. While the Mudsdale tries to retaliate with a stamp of its hooves... its not able to find purchase on Crassi's chitin. "Well," Ambrose says, nodding, "you have managed to fell one who has trained on the volcano. But... can you fell the volcano itself?"Off in the corner, he releases a red, shaggy Pokémon that indeed has volcanoes jutting from its back. The Pokémon snorts, volcanic smoke billowing from the smokestacks. Gliscor Faints. Mudsdale misses with High Horsepower. It gains +2 Sp Def, -1 Sp Atk.

"Tempu, give Crassi some space, we'll deal with this decisively." The Ledian physically rams himself into the Mudsdale, driving it backwards (30 Normal Physical). "Crassi, give the Volcano an Aqua Tail!" The skorupi scuttles up to the camel and sweeps her stinger in towards the mountain's head but it shifts position and the tail barely clips it. (Miss).

The horse barely seems to feel the blow, but it is shoved back enough to let Crassi scuttle free without worry. Unfortunately, her blow doesn't quite connect. The horse's, unfortunately, does - it gallops back into the ladybug with a powerful blow... he isn't yet downed, but it's not looking good. His physical attacks just aren't getting through enough. The Camerupt just looks at Crassi's attack with disgust, and it seems to work itself into a while hot rage. While it doesn't actually do anything to the Scorpion, the volcanoes on its back bubble menacingly. Mudsdale is hit by Tackle. Mudsdale's Def Rises. Camerupt is missed. Tempu takes 43 damage, 2 injuries and Flinches from Stomp. Mudsdale gains +2 Speed CS, -1 Attack CS. Camerupt uses Focus Energy. Camerupt triggers Prime Fury, Enraging itself and gaining +1 Attack and Sp Atk CS.

"Hmm..." Beatrice considers the Mudsdale for a long moment, and Tempu's current condition, before recalling the Ledian, and rotating for Bylii. "Take a rest, we need to adapt Tempu." While Beatrice is streamlining a strategy, Crassi is hissing and spitting, undauntedly snapping at the towering Pokemon's front (29 Bug Physical, resisted one step less. Crassi gains 5 DR and any Digestion Buffs Camerupt might have.)

Crassi's scrabbling at the Camerupt only seems to make it more and more mad... until it explodes, the volcanoes erupting with white-hot fury, utterly covering the scorpion in molten rock, that eventually seeps into the floor. The bug, no matter how tenacious, is no match for the flames, and lies defeated. Bylli ends up better, the bits of detritus sent up by the horse's gallop easily avoided by her nimble wings. Camerupt is hit by Bug Bite. Crassi takes 100 damage, 4 injuries, and Faints from Lava Plume. A critical hit! Mudsdale misses with Bulldoze. Mudsdale gains +2 Accuracy, -1 Atk CS.

"Crassi, come back..." Bee draws the Skorupi back into her ball, looking at the smouldering patch where she'd stood with a degree of hesitance. "Get some rest, we'll talk later." Tucking her friend gently back just above her skirt, she released Limul on the far side of her half of the field. "Crassi wanted us to pull together more than anything, you two. I'm counting on you." (Bee again binds Iterative Evolution).
Bylii winds up, unleashing a wave of glittering powder over the towering horse, while Limul scuttles underfoot to the Camerupt and begins to assail it with his tiny shrimp limbs. (49 Bug Special to Mudsdale, 35 Bug Physical to Camerupt, resisted one step less. Both gain 5 DR.)

The Mudsdale looks to feel that attack a lot more than any before it. While it snorts and stiffens its muscles, it's clear that it's feeling the pain now. One more attack like that could probably end it. The Camerupt doesn't seem as hurt, and its furious rage seems to continue unabated as it strikes Limul with an eruption of earth from the ground, the shrimp's hardy exoskeleton the only thing that saves it. Mudsdale takes an injury from Silver Wind. Mudsdale gains +1 Def CS. Camerupt is hit by Fury Cutter. Bylli takes 40 damage and is Flinched by Stomp. Mudsdale gains +2 Atk and -1 Def CS. Limul takes 78 damage from Earth Power, reduced to 35, 2 injuries, and -1 Sp Def CS from Earth Power. A critical hit!

Beatrice visibly winces at the powerful followup blow and the resounding crunch that goes with it. "Stay strong for me you two. Keep at it." The residual effects of Tempu's shimmering barrier protect Bylii from a portion of the damage she'd have taken, and a shielding dust rolls off of her body. Bylii is immune to added effects of attacks, courtesy of Shield Dust. "Need you to stay healthy Bylii... let's go for a Draining Kiss, Limul, continue with Fury Cutter."
Bylii alights on Mudsdale's forehead and gives it a kiss, a bloom of pink light issuing from her contact. Mudsdale takes 40 Fairy Special Damage, Bylii recovers half that.
Limul raises his limbs again in defiance and strikes at the camel a second time. (Unless Camerupt has 6 Defense Evasion, Camerupt takes 53 Bug Physical, resisted one step less. Limul gains 5 DR.)

The kiss doesn't fell the horse, but it does bring it close to the brink. Much the same with the slash on Camerupt - it's not down, but it is close. Unfortunately, its retaliatory anger seems to know no bounds, and the eruption that explodes from its volcanoes drains the last of the fight from Limul, the poor shrimp buried. Bylli is still up, though, hanging on even through the shower of debris. Bylli heals 9 HP from Draining Kiss. Mudsdale gains +1 Def CS. Camerupt takes an injury from Fury Cutter. Limul takes 72 damage, reduced to 35, 2 injuries, and Faints from Lava Plume. A critical hit! Bylli takes 35 damage and an injury from Bulldoze. Mudsdale gains +2 Sp Def, -1 Atk CS.

Beatrice exhales slowly, she hadn't realized the league scaled this quickly, color spreading on her cheeks until her face better matched her outfit. This was some kind of embarrassing. "A good showing Limul, we'll go swimming again soon." Recalling the shrimp, she released her Ledian once more. "Everyone's counting on you two now, we'll evolve and survive together."
Bylii bursts another wave of glittery powder in the Mudsdale's face, and Tempu dives onto the Camel's ears to pick up where Crassi and Limul had both left off. (49 Bug Special and 43 Bug Physical respectively, gaining 5 DR for Bylii and 10 for Tempu.)

The brief sojourn in the ball seems to have emboldened Tempu, and he strikes swiftly, working alongside Bylli to deliver a stunning double knockout. Both the quadrupeds slump to the floor, before they're recalled. Ambrose claps, before putting the balls back on his belt, and grabbing his last. "Excellent work. It seemed a little tenuous for you there, but you've shown great strength under pressure. Regardless of if you win or lose here today, you've shown your bond and your power. Both you and your Pokémon should be proud of what they've displayed today. But," he adds, "it is not yet over. We still have one last hurdle for you. You must bypass Talos." He gives a bit of a flourish when he releases the ball, before a tall blue humanoid, with a bolted-over crack in its chest, appears. Both Mudsdale and Camerupt faint.

"Then we'll meet Talos with our ingenuity. Bylii, lock it down with Stun Spore, Tempu, close and harry!" The fairy flits from her corner of the field and gathers up a puff of spores before beaning the Golurk with them. Talos is Paralyzed. Tempu, favoring his teeth to his fists still, chomps on whatever he can fit in his mouth. Despite not being much, he manages.
(35 Bug Physical)

"You do indeed have the numbers," Ambrose says, agreeing. "Let's see if it's enough to whittle him down."Tempu's attacks do seem to be at least irritating the giant, and it moves to crush the bug in a shadowy grip. The Ledian eventually wriggles free, but not until its taken a bit of a beating. Golurk takes damage from Bug Bite. Tempu takes 37 damage and an injury from Shadow Punch.

Tempu falls to the strike, leaving Bylii and the iron giant squaring off on the field. "Well Bylii, all my hopes lay with you, hopefully today makes up for what comes next." Bee's mouth draws into a thin line. "Silver Wind." Bylii bursts another gale of powder, getting it into the joints and cracks of Talos (40 Bug Special, resisted one step less. Bylii gains 5 DR)

The automaton seems damaged, but creaks closer, connecting with a giant fist. It hurts the bug immensely... and also sends the scintillating powder around her neck spinning away. Golurk is hit by Silver Wind. Bylli takes 33 damage and an injury from Mega Punch. Golurk triggers Klutz to knock away Bylli's Bright Powder.

"Try to get out of that corner girl, and take a little health on your way!" Bylii latches on and drains some health away from the machine looking Pokemon, before flitting out of arm's reach. (41 Fairy Special, heals for half.)

Bylli's attack seems to very much start to dim the energy within the automaton, and it seizes up some, unable to pursue. Though, that doesn't entirely stop it, as a shadowy fist of energy reaches out to smash at her. Neither party seems willing to let up, and both are close to exhaustion... Golurk takes an injury from Draining Kiss. Bylli heals 13 damage. Golurk is Paralyzed. Bylli takes 42 damage and an injury from Shadow Punch.

It's clear Bylii is really pouring every effort and feeling into this fight as she gains ground. With the Golurk stuck in place, she hammers it with another Silver Wind and moves further from it (North then West 6 spaces.) Golurk takes 40 Bug Special, resisted one step less, Bylii gains DR.

Bylli's attack leaves the golem reeling, almost on its last legs, and it tries to pursue... but locks up. Instead, it simply chooses to attempt to futilely harden itself, as though anticipating the end, and attempting to delay it. Bylli hits with Silver Wind. Golurk is Parlayzed. Golurk uses Iron Defense.

"Looks like the powder paid off Bylii, great job! Give it another Silver Wind!" One last time, the fairy gouts metallic powder all over the giant. (43 Bug Special). She then retreats towards the far side of the arena.
