Invigorated by the energy already present in the battle, Grass Skirt comes out ready to fly into the fray. It starts off by tossing some
Leech Seeds towards Street Fighter who is waiting patiently to react to the situation before he attacks. Nohface takes advantage of this... or doesn't? The whole scene seems largely rote to him, which ends up leading him to a bellowing
Yawn, making both the other Pokemon drowsy. Street Fighter is not impressed, but not to be outdone either. He flexes his muscles yet again,
Bulking Up his attack and defense. What a stud.
Grass Skirt is not to be left out of this competition though, and plants some roots to attempt to
Growth up and away. Because of Mars' climate and soil though, Grass Skirt is only able to pull up enough energy for a Special Attack boost. While Street Fighter again waits to make the strategic countermove, Nohface looks over at Grass Skirt and decides with his trainer's help that he is of little threat in this arid climate. Instead, he scoots on over to a waiting Street Fighter and smacks it with
Meteor Mash (10) just as a shooting star races across the sky, again raising his attack by one stage! Street Fighter was waiting for this though, and responds dutifully with
Payback (16) that smashes Nohface backwards.
Nohface decides enough is enough and delves into the shadowy depths towards Grass Skirt in an evasive
Shadow Sneak and succeeds in getting close to the Embirch. Grass Skirt, not discouraged by the earlier attempt, again tries to draw in energy from the dirt and far-away sun, this time succeeding again in only drawing enough
Growth for one Special Attack boost (50% rolls). Street Fighter sees Nohface retreating and does what? Oh, of course. He flexes his muscles again in an attempt to
Bulk Up. Sadly, this does nothing to prevent the steady drooping of his eyes. Survival instincts aren't enough to prevent the
Extreme Sleep (3 turns) that he just slipped into...
