Encounters - Clay

That crash is enough to send Baloo reeling over. Clay grits his teeth. "Fine. I was trying to play nice, but you're askin' for it. Let's go, Sandy!"

No doubt Ashley will remember him - though she'll also undoubtedly see that he's evolved. "C'mon, buddy, take this turtle down! Use that new move you've got." Sandy lets out a croak - a deeper noise than he made as a Mudkip - and spits out a stream of mud at high pressure, aiming right for the Torkoal!

Sandy's slimy skin sheds most of the initial blast of flame easily, but the whirlwind of fire hampers his movements and singes him when he tries to advance. "C'mon, take another shot! You've got the power!"[/i][/color]

The red glow around Clay's hands faded when Baloo went down. Now, the familiar blue "third eye" glow shines from the center of his forehead, and from Sandy's brow as well, just below his tall fin. Now he spits another blast of mud at the Torkoal through the gaps in the vortex before managing to force his way through the fire and escape!

Clay binds Spirit Boost (Special Attack) as a Swift Action! Sandy gains +5 bonus damage on Special Attacks!

"Seriously?" Clay digs through his bag to pull out a potion of his own and spray it on... himself. It's just a burn heal, but it soothes the ache enough that he no longer feels like he's going to pass out if he moves.

Sandy tumbles backwards, landing in a crouch to spit a stream of water at the Torkoal!

Sandy staggers and goes down. Clay's jaw drops. "The hell. Okay, fine, Flower! Take 'em down!"

As the little Litwick floats out onto the field in front of this raging behemoth of a Torkoal, Clay calls out to her in hissing, popping sounds, "Give him a taste of his own medicine! Fire Spin" Flower's flame whips up into a spinning whirlwind of fire just like the one Torkoal used on Sandy and she fires it at the turtle.

Clay hums to himself thoughtfully. Flower doesn't have much in the way of damaging attacks that aren't fire, but Smog will barely do anything to Flower - the poison making her flame gutter is a much bigger threat there - and the Torkoal's other attacks can't even touch her, at least what he's seen of them so far. She'll fare better than Baloo and Sandy, though, and she's in a good spot to wear the Torkoal down, which is something she excels at.

"Time to play to your strengths, Flower! Confuse 'it!" Flowers eyes flash and her flame dances hypnotically, trying to dizzy and baffle her opponent. Meanwhile Clay digs the Revival Herb he's been saving for ages out from his bag and works on feeding it to Sandy carefully; he's sure he'll find a need for the Marshtomp's aid again in the fight, if he can just get him back into shape.

Clay winces as Flower's ghostly light flickers briefly in the poisonous cloud. There's not much more he can do to the Torkoal to set it up for gradually wearing down, and Flower's flames might not bother it, but... "Let's give it a scare!"

Flower understands, and starts whipping up an illusion. Out of the smoke leaps a massive, fiery-eyed Persian, its mouth open in a silent roar as it pounces on the Torkoal.

This Torkoal seems to be refusing to actually be worn down! This does not please Flower or Clay. She whips up another whirlwind of fire, sending it spinning at the Torkoal and hoping it will stay trapped a little longer this time!

Clay bites his lip. He can tell Flower's on her last legs - this turtle's taken down half his team! How is he going to deal with the rest of Ashley's like that? "Hit him with another illusion!"

This time a Tyrantrum forms from the smog and flame, leaning down to crash its mighty jaws together against the Torkoal... and Flower's flame finally flickers out as she falls to the ground in a dead faint. Unwilling to let this stand any further, Clay sends out his other ringer - Mowgli stalks out into the ring, smirking a creepy Croagunk smirk at his opponent.

Night Shade!

The rush of flame shoots at Mowgli - but the tricky Croagunk suddenly drops and rolls out of the way of the vortex! He retaliates by kicking up a spray of mud at the Torkoal, mixed with his own poisonous goop. It's not a very powerful attack on its own, but liable to be troublesome for his opponent in any case. The Torkoal finally starting to flag is encouraging.

Mowgli's Dodge ability caused the attack to miss!
