The Wizard laughs at his opponent's ill fate and decides to take advantage of this free turn. He tries to set up a lightscreen in order to protect himself from future attacks. Too bad he's taunted, meaning he just wasted his free turn. This gives Barbariccia plenty of time to break out of her icy prison with a powerful Mega Drain, putting her right back into the action.
Barbariccia, angry at the luck factors, unleashes a Stuns spore that summons a cloud of paralyzing powder aimed directly for the Wizard. However, the cloud goes off course, barely missing the elekid. The Wizard tries to redeem himself form his previous embarrassment and lunges forward with a powerful Ice Punch. Barbariccia is thrown back a bit from the impact, but manages to regain her ballance.
The Wizard keeps up his offense by launching a Fire Punch. Barbariccia braces the impact and fires back with a Mega drain. The organic energy rushes from her body and manages to steal a good portion of health from her opponent.
The mysterious presence decides to act once again, this time summoning a rain of fireballs in order to hammer the wizard for his arrogance.

Barbariccia tries desperately to get a Stunspore in, but to no avail The attack misses its target completely, giving The Wizard ample time to attack with an Ice Punch, pushing back the leafy fiend tumbeling backwards.
The cottonball shakes it off and unleashes even more Stunspore into the air. This time, the powder surrounds the Wizard on all sides, paralyzing him! barely able to move, the Wizard still pulls through and fires a powerful Fire Punch!
Desperate to do some damage, Barbariccia decides to use her new found speed to Mega Drain. she feels content with the energy she gains from the elekid, that is until she is smacked straight accross the face with an Ice Punch. All out of energy, the fiend succumbs to her injuries and falls to the ground.
Out emerges Rubicante, the final of the four fiends, prepared to face his opponent in hopes of a victory.

The shady trainer grits his teeth, knowing he's in a corner. Still, he has faith in his final sinister fiend, and prepare for battle. Rubicante starts things off with a Leech Seed, firing the parasitic seeds directly at her opponent. The seeds latch on, sucking energy away from the poor elekid. To add insult to injury, the Wizard finds himself Fully Paralyzed! This forces him to waste a turn doing absolutely nothing!
Rubicante proceeds to go on the offensive. He pounds the ground and using his mystic energy, launches a powerful Earthpower! The damage is a direct hit, shaking the Wizard up! He still pulls through, however, and Thunderwaves his foe for some nice paralysis.
Rubicante tries to take advantage of his opponent's weakened state, but is Fully Paralyzed! In fact, The Wizard looks pretty tensed up as well, indicating he too is Fully Paralyzed! Both trainers grind their teeth at the hax of this battle.
The mysterious presence feels this and decides to intervene once again. It summons a rain of fireballs once again, dealing 10 damage to the little electric type.

The Wizard pushes through is status one more time and sets up a Lightscreen. He smiles at his latest creation that will surely help as the battle progresses at its climax. However, the parasitic seeds are still sucking away its energy, leaving him with merely a sliver of health left. Rubicante takes this turn to set up as well, as he realizes that he almost has this match one. Drawing from the energy of the sky, he sets up a Sunny Day that creates harsh heat upon the land.
The Wizard can barely move and pretty much gives up, deciding to just replenish the Lightscreen before succumbing the the seeds that drain the last of his healt. Meanwhile, Rubicante manages to Growth, drastically increasing his stats and preparing him for the next opponent.
The challenger's final pokemon, phloem, emerges from his pokeball. Looks like this comes down to an a battle of light and darkness fought out by two embirch.

Sunny Day: 9 Energy
Growth: 8 Energy

The battle is near its epic conclusion, and both trainers can see victory in sight. Phloem, not carrying the burden of paralysis, is first to move. He pounds the ground with such force that it creates a crack in the floor, exploding into a mass of mystical energy in the form of an Earth Power! Rubicante braces the hit and almost feels the effect of paralysis upon her. But what's this, his ability Leaf Guard kicks in, removing the status completely! He responds with a Fire Spin of his own, sending a tornado of searing flames directly at his foe.
Phleom pushes the flames out of the way and turns to the power of the sun for his next attack. Arming one of his cannon-arms with solar energy, he unleashes a devastating Flamethrower at his opponent, burning off part of the fiend's face. Disfigured, he responds with a ferocious Blaze Kick that creates large cracks in his opponent's wooden armor.
Trying to end things quickly, Phleom fires another Earthpower at the fiend, leaving him severely damaged. However, the dark creature does not take a beating sitting down, and responds with another burning Blaze Kick, leaving both battlers wounded from the round.
The mysterious presence still lurks, waiting...

Phloem is ready to dish out the damage in a desperate attempt for victory. He fires off a Flamethrower, burning through Rubicante's defenses. The fiends gets angered and charges forward with a Blaze Kick, but it Misses its target completely!!!!
A small ray of hope shines on Phloem as he unleashes another Flamethrower, once again doing decent damage. Rubicante sets himself up and rushes forwards, but aparently forgot his glasses at home because he actually Misses a second time!!!!
