Ace Trainer Firestone Round 5

"Flareon! Renew that vortex right away!" By this point a small crowd has gathered. It's a pretty flashy battle. They press in as the Fire Spin fades, but the trainer gestures them back as he speaks. One little lad stands in the fountain where he feels safer.
"Slow down a notch. Don't overexert yourself. Let the snake do the overextending."

Apsis renews Wrap, it being a great source of damage against an enemy who just seeks to dodge and deflect!

Flareon is flinched.

Wrap: (3)(1)

Ace Trainer Firestone Round 6

The battlefield descends back into a fury of tooth vs flame. The battlefield becomes so busy you can no longer tell what is happening: cinders from Fire Spin, shed scales from Apsis, steam from the nearby Fountain where the kid is playing and splashing since he can't see the battle anymore.

Both trainers have pretty much locked into a series of commands, but at times they cannot even see who's winning or what's happening.

Here's what happens anyway:

Flinch: (5)(2)(4)(1)(1)

Wrap: (6)(5) Flareon faints.
Fire Spin: (4)(6) Apsis takes 2 dmg 10/16hp.

When the sounds of battle die down, and the damage is finally assessed, Firestone throws his hat to the ground in frustration. "Agh! So much energy! Couldn't burn through it. Couldn't burn her, either...Tell me, does your Arbok have Shed Skin? Doesn't seem like Intimidate, but with that early Acid Spray I wasn't sure. You fight very well. Here's $1000, all collected in battle from lesser trainers than you. New to Stair City?"

Apsis gains 7Xp. Ventus gains 3XP.
