A STRONG START FOR THE DUELING DUO!! *Birch bellows, while Elm points out* We have a nice, even matchup here to start off the third round of the tournament, and neither of them is wasting any time — getting off their more powerful moves and hoping to get the other onto the ropes. Literally in the Terror's case!

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.

Braaaackk!! (Vince shouts upon being punched. Shivering a bit, the shoves Marlon away.)

All right, pretty boy, yer makin' me mad. Time for my s-secret weapon! (Vince shouts.)

(Vince stomps his foot, and some rocks float up out of the ground surrounded by a purple energy. They shoot toward Marlon.)

(Vince spreads his arms out as if expecting something to happen, namely the all-stat increase, but nothing does.) Blarrgh...next time it'll work.

(I see the rocks fly. Despite them landing relatively close to me, I power up again, and start running hard at him. With some rocks still falling, I jump up and slam down with an Aerial Ace.)

No ya don't! (Vince counters with a Protect.)

(Not bothering to wait for Marlon to strike again, Vince stomps his foot and uses Ancient Power again. The rocks fly, but Vince still doesn't get that stat boost.)

RRrrraaaaggh! C'MON!! I'm about to lose hereeee! (he growls.)

(You son of a... My eyes flash pink again. I summon as much energy possible to make sure that he gets an ice-cold punch this time. Rocks falling again, I slam down on Vince with another Ice Punch.)

Grrraaaawwww!! (Vince growls upon Marlon landing on him and falling to the ground. He tries stomping his foot onto the ground, but only a few tiny rocks rise up a few inches and fall to the ground. And then he realizes that his mid-section is coated entirely in ice and he is freezing. He shoots a nasty look at Marlon.)

Brr...f-f-f-freaakin' pretty boy...belch. (Defeated, he goes limp and falls asleep.)

SNORK wheeeeeze...brrr....

THE HITS KEEP ON COMING FOLKS!! Wait, getting something from the refs...hmm...seriously?! AND IT'S A KNOCKOUT!! *Birch is a little disappointed, so Elm takes over* That's what the refs are saying, anyway. In spite of Tangrowth's well deserved reputation as a Mighty Glacier, Magic Marlon managed to subdue the Terror with mostly non-innate† moves. Must be the alcohol — they say it robs the body of heat, in spite of popular belief.

You might be on to something, Elm. Magic Marlon moves on to Round 4 tonight!

Can't think of a better term for non-STAB moves.

*Bella and I look down at the bag, curious.*

Belladonna: "Is this a peace offering?"

PJ: "Wait... This bag's exactly what I think it is isn't it?"

*Bella touches down and opens the bag up. Sure enough, it's an assortment of berries quite similar to the VA remedies.*

PJ: "You are a damn clever woman, Jani."

Belladonna: "Is there something I'm not getting here? This just looks like breakfast to me."

PJ: "Actually, those are some so-called 'remedies' whipped up to counteract VA. See, the group's had these on them and so..."

Belladonna: "Oh, I think I know where this is going. You did say something about this little plan to get your friends on our side, didn't you?"

PJ: "Something like that, yeah. Jani was the person I talked to about it."

Belladonna: "Ah, very well! So, on the subject of tackling this 'underlying issue', Jani... You're talking about spreading our little blessing around, right?"


Yalta: "I understand. From what I've heard, this Belladonna woman seems to be the root of many problems... But letting all this overwhelm you at once won't help, will it? Let's take this one step at a time. Establish your priorities, determine what's the easiest to deal with, and that way you can better take care of what's in front of you."

Are you ready? Go live!

Yeah, Marlon! (I shout from the stands.) You showed him! Yeah! (I'm just a little bit excited.)


(As Vince is carted out the triage, he wakes up briefly and sees me up in the stands with Marsha and the others. He recognizes me as the person who humiliated him at the bar in Silversand and caused his girlfriend to leave him.)

W-w-w-why that (hic) little slimy b-b-b-b-BRRRR...! (he falls back asleep.)

(I leave the field of play and briefly head for the Inn. I check to make sure that my remedies and the Mega Stone are still safe. Confirming such, I leave my room. In doing so, I see Eliot and Yalta discussing and briefly wave to them. I then head for the arena again, and join Goobert and crew in the stands. I excitedly exclaim to Goobert.)

Slide me some five! I'm on to Round Four!

(I return the high five (with my antenna of course).)

This is so freaking cool! (I say.) You really showed him!

Yeah, who tries usin' Ancient Power over and over again? (Marsha wonders.) He knows you can only use it a few times, doesn't he?

We can talk about it later, Marsha. Let's just wait for the next battle. Congrats again, bud! (I say to Marlon again.)

   SOME ALLEYWAY (Two hours before the tournament)   

They actually see a sack filled with baggies of berries, but moving on with that in mind.

*Jani nods with a smile on her face* You bet! There were some complications, though...

You see... *Jani looks to PJ as she explains* ...when we were talking, Marlon was reading my mind. We "spoke" both ways...that "headache", well...when I realized what I was doing wrong, I figured...how do I blot him out...and then it suddenly came to me. 日本語を分かりますよ! That is, I can speak Japanese! Figured I'd think the same to throw him off. Maybe it has something to do with where I originally came from? *it doesn't, but she herself doesn't know any better*

Marlon's might have connected a few dots because I couldn't find his baggies, but the rest of them... *Jani makes a piece of paper emerge from underground* That's where they all stashed them.

*Jani does her trademark pacing as she mentions* I wrote that up on my scouting run...didn't want to run headlong into this one. Had to figure every angle. For example, my newest business associate just happened to have an interest in berries. I was able to convince him to make some cheap knock-offs of the so-called remedies overnight. Really hit in to the business bank account with that one, but that's a problem for later...

*still pacing, only the other way, she adds* I couldn't tell the difference from sight or taste, but I thought to myself...the big guy...Guy...he might have a sensitive palate, so I avoided his just to be safe. Plus he's kind of a wild card at this point anyway. As for everyone else, obviously I can't touch the bags they're holding onto, but I swapped the rest this morning, and whatever they have on hand is bound to run out, so anytime now...

*she stops, turns, and gives another Stepford smile to the duo* ...we'll all be able to be friends again, right?

Sure. (I say.) I just want an R-Soda, though. I'm still a little full from breakfast. The hospital here is surprisingly generous with their servings.

I'll have a Lum Berry pizza, though! (says Marsha.)

Marsha, you're going to get sick again. (Delilah warns.)

What? Ya think I'm gonna eat it all myself? I'm gonna share!


(Vince is being treated at the triage.)

Grrrgh...when I get outta here I'm gonna skoosh that slimy punk... (he grumbles.) Burrrrrp...he'll pay for ruinin' my life...

Alright, I'll be right back!

Here you are!

(Marsha quite hungrily digs into her pizza, nearly forgetting that she had gotten it to share with the rest of us and sheepishly handing pieces to Delilah and Benji.)

Marlon, do you want a piece? (Delilah asks Marlon.)

Don't worry, I'm fine, Delilah. (I say.) I really am still full from breakfast.

(We turn back to face the arena. I begin resting my hand on Delilah's claw again as she eats her pizza with her other.)
