Oscar smiles as he sees who he's up against. "Ah, excellent, this should be quite a challenge. Anyway, let's get down to business." He says, releasing Harria onto the battlefield.

Isabella grins back at him, tossing her head. "Right, let's get started. We'll call it a warm-up for Victory Island, huh?" After all, if they were both 'future champions', they'd have to face off with each other for the title again. She tosses out Chouette's Pokéball, letting the bespectacled Hoothoot flutter free. "Let's show 'em what you're made of, Chouette!"Chouette's Initiative: 10 Isabella's Standard: Inspired Training

Chouette manages to get the drop on Harria just slightly - perhaps a little surprising for the rotund owl. "Let's see if we can get a little advantage here - Chouette, Hypnosis!"Chouette's red eyes glow brightly as she fixes Harria with a penetrating stare, hooting softly and lowly, trying to lull the other bird to sleep. Chouette wins initiative. Chouette's Hypnosis: 20 vs AC 6. Too bad Isabella's not a Trickster, huh?

Harria squawks and flies right at Chouette... right as the owl's eyes glow, sending Harria to sleep in midair, falling and skidding to a stop on the ground. Fortunately, the impact roused her, but she still sits for a moment, looking somewhat abashed. Harria can't take actions this turn At the end of the turn, save check vs Sleep is 16, waking her up. Current Momentum is 1 Oscar looks on, thrown slightly by what just happened. "Hurm. Well, not to worry, let's keep going!" He says, regaining his usual demeanour. Oscar's actions: Standard: Brutal Training on Harria

Isabella pouts slightly as Harria wakes up... but Prickles did exactly the same thing in her last match, so she can't complain too much. Karma and all. "Okay, Chouette, don't stop now! Give her a Tackle!" Really, Isabella can't wait for when Chouette learns some less physical attacks, they really aren't her strong suit. She tries her best, though, barreling toward Harria as fast as her wings will take her. Isabella's Standard: Inspired Training on Chouette
Chouette's Shift: E6 to E8 Chouette's Standard: Tackle on Harria Accuracy 15 vs AC 2; 17 Physical Normal damage and Pushed 2 squares

Harria reels back slightly with the blow, launching into the air again. "Tackle back, Harria, let's give as good as we get, eh?" Oscar calls. Harria straightens herself up in the air and launches herself at Chouette. Harria's Shift: E11 to E9 Harria's Standard: Tackle on Chouette Accuracy 11 vs AC2; 28 Physical Normal damage and pushed 2 squares.
Oscar's Standard: Brutal Training on Harria

Chouette flinches at the blow, faltering back before swooping around again. "Ouch... This isn't really working, huh?" Isabella wants to have Chouette still available when Ivy comes into play, so she can't let her go down to Harria. "Okay, Chouette, come back! Let's go, Prickles! We'll show 'em what you're really made of!"She makes a show of half-juggling the two Pokéballs before sending out the revitalized Zigzagoon, hoping to make a better showing than his previous defeat. He hops from one set of feet to the other, waving his bushy tail. Isabella's Standard: Switch Chouette out and release Prickles at E6. She doesn't get a command this turn.

Oscar starts slightly, surprised at that move, though he's aware he shouldn't be. However, he figures he should buy a moment for Harria and him to get accustomed to the new opponent. Therefore... "Harria, quick, blind him!" He says, hoping that if they act quickly enough, they can throw Prickles off-balance. Harria nods and starts flapping, moving up and kicking up a blinding cloud of dirt. "Excellent, now let's keep on them!" Oscar says. Harria's shift: E9 to E8 Harria's Standard: Sand Attack on Prickles Accuracy 14 vs AC2
Oscar's Standard: Brutal orders on Harria Oscar's Swift: Tagging Prickles
Current Momentum is 5
Also, since Prickles's initiative is 10 as well, need to roll off... although since I rolled a 2, it's something of a formality, but still.

Isabella pulls a face as Prickles snuffles in alarm at the blinding dust. "You're gonna be difficult about this, huh? Come on, Prickles, don't let it get you down!"Whoops, right. Not that much of a formality, though, 'cause I rolled a 1 So Harria gets to move before Prickles can again (ignore that Growl, because I just realized that) Isabella's Standard: Inspired Training, though it won't do a lick of good because Blinded includes Vulnerable

Oscar smiles. "Okay, he's off-balance, press the advantage."
With an ethusiastic squawk, Harria rams herself into Prickles, catching the still-disoriented Zigzagoon off-guard. Oscar's standard: Brutal orders on Harria
Harria's shift action: E8-E7 Harria's standard action: Tackle on Prickles Accuracy 19 vs AC2 (Critical hit); 47 Physical Normal damage and pushed 2 squares.

Prickles lets out a squeal of protest as Harria barrels out of the dust cloud and slams into him, his paws scrabbling in the dirt as he skids backwards. Isabella sucks in a breath watching the blow - this is really not just Prickles' day. You'd think a clairvoyant would have better luck than to have her Pokémon keep catching those powerful strikes, too. "Lucky hit. Come on, Prickles, Tackle her right back! You can do it!Unfortunately, it seems Prickles is still blinded by the dust cloud, or rattled by the heavy blow, or something. He bounds forward in a powerful charge... and misses Harria by a mile, stumbling in the dirt. Prickles' Shift: E4->E6 Prickles' Standard: Tackle on Harria ... Yeah, I rolled max damage and then rolled a 1 on AC (because I muked up the roll tag the first time). I really wish I had Small Prophecies right about now.
Isabella's next Standard is going to be Inspired Training again... assuming Prickles is still up to be Inspired.

Oscar winces slightly at Prickles' miss, since he could see how much effort and power was put into it. He quickly schools his reaction, though, not wishing to seem disrespectful or pitying his opponent. He considers their positions for a moment. "Hmm, back up slightly, hit him from range." He says, hoping to be prepared for the next pokemon, should Harria's next attack fell Prickles. Harria pulls up slightly, surprised but understanding her trainer's command. She backs up a step before flapping hard, unleashing reasonably forceful gust of wind, kicking up dirt and stones at Prickles. Harria's Shift: Disengage from Prickles, E7 to E8 Harria's Standard: Gust on Prickles Accuracy 13 vs AC2, 18 Special Flying damage.
Oscar's Standard: Focused orders on Harria.
Current momentum is 6 (Really should get Expend Momentum next level).

And Prickles goes down again under the assault. Isabella makes a frustrated noise as she recalls him and tosses out Chouette's ball again. She'd really been hoping Prickles would be able to accomplish more; this battle is just not going her way. Maybe she should have brought Hirondel instead... "Right, let's take her out fast, Chouette! Tackle, quick!" The ball sails out to release Chouette right in front of Harria despite her backing up, and Chouette comes out swinging, hurling her bulky body at the Pidgey. Isabella's Shift: Switch Prickles for Chouette. Release at E7. Do we want to keep the initiative order from before? Isabella's Standard: Inspired Training on Chouette
Chouette's Standard: Tackle. 7 vs AC 2; 22 Normal Physical damage and Pushed 2 meters on hit.

Harria flaps wildly for a moment, trying to stabilze herself in the air. "You're okay, give one back!" Oscar cries. Harria rights herself and uses the gained distance between her and Chouette to get a good run up for her tackle. "That's it, keep on her, you can do this!" Oscar says excitedly. Harria's Shift: E10 to E8 Harria's Standard: Tackle. 10 vs AC 2; 30 Normal Physical damage and pushed 2 meters on hit.
Oscar's Standard: Focused Training on Harria Oscar's Swift: Tag Chouette

Isabella winces as Harria delivers another powerful blow. As much as she might try, Chouette isn't built to deal out or take physical blows on that level, and the Hoothoot's faltering - a dogfight doesn't favor her. Isabella mutters something very rude in Kalosian under her breath. She was hoping to save this to get a quick blow in on Ivy, but under the circumstances... "Come on, stay with me, Chouette! You've done this before - Hypnotize her!"The Hoothoot trills lowly as those big red eyes glow, fixing Harria with a penetrating stare to try and lull her to sleep again. Isabella's Standard: Inspired Training on Chouette Isabella's Free: Spend an AP before Chouette's AC roll
Chouette's Shift: back to E7 Chouette's Standard: Hypnosis! 16 vs AC 6; on hit, Sleep.

Oscar's eyes widen, having not anticipated a repeat of that maneuver. Thinking quickly, he shouts: "Quick, go up!"Harria hears the words of her trainer and follows his advice, thinking it's an attempt at evading the hypnosis. She flaps her wings, gaining altitude but unable to take her eyes from Chouette's. In a moment, the Hoothoot's hypnosis takes effect and Harria falls asleep. However, in doing so, she falls the extra distance she rose and hits the ground harder than she would have otherwise. It kicks up some dirt and looks like it hurt slightly, but manages to rouse her from her sleep. She still lies sprawled for a moment, though, taking a moment to get her bearings. Oscar winces. "Sorry about that, but... let's not lose focus!"Harria gets a 17 on her save check, waking her up but taking her turn.
Oscar's standard: Focused Training on Harria

Isabella is many things. A graceful loser is not among them. She'd been hoping to use Harria's little nap to get in a couple of Growls to take the edge off of the Pidgey's powerful tackles, or at least an attack that was unlikely to be dodged. Denied that opportunity, she mutters something even less polite under her breath. "Come on, Chouette, don't let her get the best of you! You can do it! Tackle!"Chouette doesn't exactly look happy about the current state of affairs, herself, but she steels herself and dives at Harria. Her battered state takes some of the power out of the blow, but they can always hope that this is the strike that takes the troublesome Pidgey down. Isabella's Standard: Inspired Training Chouette's Standard: Tackle 7 vs AC 2; 15 Physical Normal damage

Oscar looks on, seeing Chouette's damaged state. "Okay, I think we can finish this: Gust her!" He says Harria rolls with Chouette's attack, going along with the knockback to give herself more momentum backwards and, thus, more power into the gust she blows at Chouette. Harria's shift: E10 to E11 Harria's Standard: Gust 24 vs AC2; 30 Flying Special damage
Oscar's standard (for what its worth): Focused Training on Harria.
