Vulpix, let's start strong with a Hypnosis to stop that Sandstorm, then let's Will-o-Wisp. Both should hit often thanks to your +Speed! If one of those attacks missed, use the one that missed last on your 3rd action. If they both hit, let's Confuse Ray!

Round 5 Start!
The round begins as Nicole leaps forward and attempts use Hypnosis, staring into Bruce's eyes. However, the attack misses and Bruce, shaking himself, summons a Sandstorm in retaliation. Once again, the forest is full of flying dirt and grit! Nicole stamps a paw in frustration, while Bruce seems to be blending in...
Nicole, despite being buffeted by the sandstorm, manages to hit the elusive Gible with Will-O-Wisp, burning Bruce badly. Gnashing his fangs in anger, Bruce retaliates with a strong Earthquake before slipping back into the sandstorm.
Nicole, wishing she had Drought, desperately searches for the veiled Gible. Squinting in the harsh weather, she still manages to mesmerize Bruce with a second Hypnosis! Bruce curls up and snores gently, dreaming of battle.
As the round draws to a close, both Pokémon prepare themselves for the final skirmish ahead.

Round 6 Start!
As the sandstorm rages, the battlers brace themselves for the upcoming round, drawing on endurance and stamina to push past their exhaustion and continue the battle. Except for Bruce, who's still fast asleep.
Nicole, taking advantage of her slumbering foe, focuses on the memory of Bruce's last Earthquake and Disables it! Bruce shakes himself awake, and, being unable to use seismic forces, decides to Attack with Sand instead, flinging grit into Nicole's face!
Pawing desperately at her eyes, Nicole sends a strong Confuse Ray toward the elusive Gible, but the attack misses! Bruce, slipping through the sandstorm with ease, hits Nicole with a strong Edge of Stone, then fades back into the raging vortex!
Still being buffeted by the flying grit, Nicole begins to leap from side to side, creating four Double Team clones! Bruce, annoyed to see this tactic again, strikes the nearest with a Sand-Attack, but the clone merely fades.
As the round draws to a close, the sandstorm continues to rage.

Alright, time to finish this up.
Stone Edge, Sand Attack, Stone Edge.
Stone Edge, Sand Attack, Stone Edge.
Those Stone Edges are gonna miss one way or another, whether it's due to 80 accuracy or your clones, so don't give up Vulpix! Strike first with Confuse Ray, then an Energy Ball. If Confusion goes away by your 3rd action, use Confuse Ray. Otherwise, make more Double Team clones until you have 4.

Round 7 Start!
The battle, like the sandstorm, has been raging for seven rounds, but neither side is showing any weakness. As the round starts, both contenders seem exhausted, but determined to continue.
Nicole, still struggling to see Bruce through the whirling sands, sends out a strong Confuse Ray! The eerie light flies across the clearing and dazzles Bruce, who immediately spins, dazed, and hits itself in confusion!
Nicole draws on the energy of the forest around her, and hits the fallen Gible with a Ball of Energy! Bruce, knocked back to his senses and gnashing his fangs in anger, retaliates with an Attack of Sand! Unfortunately for Bruce, the flying grit merely hits one of Nicole's clones, destroying it!
Nicole, clearly worried at an unconfused Gible defeating her, tries to launch another Confuse Ray, but within all the sands it fails to hit her foe. Bruce easily moves to capitalize, but alas, his own Stone Edge simply fails to hit anything-not even a clone.
As the round draws to a close, Nicole and her two clones surround Bruce, who feels a rush of confidence as his ability to produce Earthquakes returns. Nicole finally manages to paw the sand from her eyes, but still seems uncomfortable in the sandstorm.

Vulpix, you gotta nail this Confuse Ray or Earthquake will spell trouble. Then I need you to combine Energy Ball-Confuse Ray.
Alright Gible, it's time to end this. Use Protect to block her Confuse Ray, then hit her with an Earthquake. If she is still standing, finish her off with False Swipe Dragon Claw.

Round Eight Start!
As the final round opens, Nicole springs forward and launches a Confuse Ray at Bruce, but the ghostly light merely bounces off his Protective barrier!
Nicole seems to be readying a combo, but she is cut short as Bruce shakes the forest with a powerful Earthquake, devastating her remaining copies...yet by spreading out his assault, Gible simply fails to quite defeat her in time. She unleashes her combo, infusing an Energy Ball with sinister, Confusing light-and Gible doesn't look happy to see it. It smacks him, not dealing nearly enough damage to KO, but certainly enough to addle him severely once again.
The last action wasn't very interesting-the only thing that happened was that Vulpix was sent to the brink of defeat by the Sandstorm while cooling down, and Gible hit himself in confusion...one last time.
As the round ends, so does the sandstorm.
Both contenders are on their last legs.
Who will emerge victorious?

Round Nine Start!
Nicole, barely able to stand, summons the strength to lock eyes with Bruce for a final Hypnosis! The Gible desperately tries to look away, but cannot escape Nicole's mesmerizing gaze! Bruce sinks to the ground, fast asleep.
With a bit more confidence, Nicole turns away from the snoozing Gible and Chills, restoring some of her energy! Behind her, however, Bruce seems to be waking up! Shaking himself, the Gible slowly sneaks up behind Nicole and finishes her with a powerful Dragon Claw!
The Vulpix staggers, trying to remain upright, then gently falls to the ground. Bruce, still wincing from his burn, howls in victory!
The match is over!
