Sailor Nightshade Round 6

"We can't let Espurr get off scot free! Solarpowered Ember on the cat! Use our precise strike strategy!"

Ember on Espurr
2 Dex +3 Fight -2 pain +2 canalize = 5 dice
(4)(6)(3)(1)(4) "Ah, you're in too much pain to land the blow required. But it's still a good hit!"
4* Str +2 power +1 stab +1 Sunny Day -2 vit = 6 dice
(3)(1)(5)(2)(2)(4) Espurr takes 2 damage.
Burn: (1)

The audience waits with bated breath as Fennekin winds up for his attack. They've seen how much that inner fire can do, and it will be even stronger now.
Ember on Helioptile
(3)(1)(6)(1)(2)

But the attack misses entirely as Helioptile leaps right over the flames! For a moment, he tries to run on the air, absorbing the sunshine and powering up his Thundershock. Before he's finished, Kyuu is trying to land that final blow on Charmander.

Scratch
(5)(1)(3) All he needs is one damage out of two chances. Kyuu must hold back just in case.
(6)(4) Charmander is out of the fight! Nightshade takes him by the hand and makes a bow to the audience, who clap politely at Charmander's excellent efforts.

Thundershock
Was 5 dice, now 1 less from pain
(5)(1)(4)(4) Hit
Helioptile retaliates, certain he can take Fennekin out of the fight. He's holding back just a touch, but the sheer amount of energy crackling along his energy beam is startling.
(4)(1)(4)(4)(6) Fennekin takes 2 damage and faints in a halo of red and yellow energy.

"Oh, I'm sorry Shiva! There's only so much Helioptile can hold back when he's soaking in the sun. You, bring Fennekin a nice fuzzy blanket to recover on, and some sweet-smelling sassafras twigs. Hop to it!"
The crewman hops to it.

This makes the audience gather in closer. Almost everyone on the ship is now here, watching - it's 1 on 1, both Pokemon wounded. Either could deal the final blow.

Scratch
(6)
(4)(5) Helioptile is out of the fight!!!

Shiva is victorious, by a hair!

Nightshade immediately doses her solar powered Pokemon with potions to prevent passing out. Meanwhile, the assembled crew members are going insane, yelling and grabbing Bellossom by the hands and dancing around with them. Shiva sees money change hands between a few of the crew members, but even the ones grumbling look pleased to have witnessed such a spectacle. Kyuu looks around at them, blinking in the sunlight, not quite sure why everyone is so excited. He totters over to Shiva for pets.

But Shiva's attention is diverted from the cat, for the fox is still glowing with red light. His body is stretching, elongating, and his eyes are blinking open! As the glow fades, flamelike tufts have sprung from his ears, and his posture is different as he rests on his haunches (with just 1hp). The sassafrass stick has been sheathed in his bushy tail, looking a bit like a broom. The fur along his waist droops down, forming a robelike shape, a bit lower than the skirtlike shape of the females.
Wow! Fennekin has evolved into Braixen!

That fight was nearly as hard as the gym leader, but divided among four Pokemon instead of 3. Shiva gains 7XP, and has 14XP to divide among her involved Pokemon.

@Lord Windos Raphael also gains 3XP.

The captain of the cruise ship comes over to Shiva. "What a battle! Nightshade's offense is hardly beatable by anyone! We're always surprised; she always turns out harder to beat than expected! I have a gift for your Fennekin, if I may...we found this in the ship's engine room!"

Shiva obtains Charcoal!

After relaxing on the ship (which has an infirmary btw), Shiva will regain a Will Point.
