And IC continued to rely on hax rather than flavour to take on Saleem's Magesh. Which is working pretty okay so far, until Magesh used Rest a second time. Now both sides are getting very exhausted, so how would this play out is up to anybody's guess, I think? Magesh was still lucky enough to harden his Skull before he got paralysed, by the way.

Hm. Well, I guess we're going to keep Magesh eternally annoyed. Have fun sleeping...forever.

Looks like Magesh receives Percival's Encore even in sleep, unfortunately he's too tired to Rest again and instead Struggles in a trance. Percival also looks too worn out in this case - his Confuse Ray failed to achieve anything except exhaust his energy because Magesh's eyes were not even open earlier!! Magesh would surely Chill for one round now, extending the match - how would Percival react?

Magesh finally realised that a good Iron Tail makes a LOT of impression on Raltses, so Percival took a beating while trying to Sneak around Shadows, occasionally darting out to deliver a Thunderbolt towards the Charmander. Nevertheless, the battle took its toll on both Pokemon, Percival more so than Magesh, even though the latter had been in for much longer. Both sides took some time off to rest and recuperate, but might we see a KO next round? Find out!

Looks like Percival doesn't want to keep up the fight anymore. Chilling and waiting, the Ralts faces the knock out from Magesh, although his passive-aggressive taunt does have Magesh standing on his last legs after the Dig and Ember attack. Can Kuroselle finish off the scourge of IC's team so far?

Seeking even higher glory, Magesh keeps pacing himself in battle, recovering some energy before Kuroselle could Taunt him with an irresistible sneer. Both of them then started trading blows, and it is obvious that battle fatigue keeps on plaguing the Charmander despite his trainer's plans and number Crunches. But Kuroselle may overextend himself as well, as the powerful attacks left her slightly out of breath. As the Phantom Force struck home, a new fire blazed in Magesh's tail - his Ability kicked in, surging him with more fire for battle!

Seeing no way out, Magesh-Charmander went down fighting, spewing a Fire Blast to scorch Kuroselle-Nohface before fainting. But Kuroselle would not let Magesh go down so easily, after what he did. A powerful Metal Burst explodes, hitting the knocked out Charmander and blowing him up 15 feet into the air, before the unconscious Magesh slammed into the ground. Looks like Saleem needs to get him to the Pokemon Center immediately....

Oddly, Kuroselle-Nohface went for two Will-o-Wisps, which I guess is a double assurance that Akbar-Karrablast will get burned. Perplexed, Akbar can only endure the pain until he can't even launch a Counterattack. Kuroselle then tried to Curse himself and his opponent, but it seems he is too weak to do so!!

Determined to make up for the failure, Akbar-Karrablast went for a direct attack approach, even though the backfire of his clever strategy had left himself weakened and vulnerable. Kuroselle punched and Mashed Akbar's face in with absolute Force of a Phantom kitty, but the signs of battle fatigue is showing, the same as it had been with Magesh-Charmander before. Could Kuroselle play as smart as his foe once did, and eventually push his way towards a second KO?
