Round 8

Gym Leader Tanuki vs Shiva Round 8

Sucker Punch 1
(6)(2)(5)(1)(5)(1)(6)(1)
(3) Yep, Vaporeon tanks it!

Rock Smash 1
(4)(2)(6)(6)(2)(6)(2)
(3)(5)(2)(4) Spinda takes 3 dmg and faints.

"Huh...I actually thought you'd push your Vaporeon to be a little faster, but it certainly worked for you! It's down to our last Pokemon, and your Vaporeon has a leg up! That's great!"

Vaporeon gains 1hp 8/8

When Tanuki's Spinda suddenly winded up and gave her waterly Eeveelution a slap for daring to come close to her for a well-placed Rock Smash, Shiva instantly and intuitively averted her gaze in worry, but as Vaporeon let out a confident cry that could translated with 'Nope, can't hit me!!' and directly SMASHED that Spinda with her mermaid tail, Shiva couldn't help but to smile; even chuckle to herself over that scenery. Seeing Vaporeon making a huffing noise over having defeated that troublesome foe at last only increased it.... She felt carefully hopeful again.

"Thank you, Vaporeon. Well done.... Really, well done. The more I see from dear you, the more thankful and lucky I feel that we met there in the swamp. Keep it up like that, and great things can be expected from you...."

Looking over to Tanuki, Shiva needed a moment to realize that she...complimented her for her actions, it went directly to her heart where it allured more thankfulness. Before she replied, she respectfully bowed to the Normal Gym Leader, hope and anticipitation running through her. "Th...thank you! ^//^ I haven't trained Vaporeon much yet, not enough so far for her to learn a precious priority-move. I'm on it though... And I'm sorry for having fainted your cute Spinda." This feels like quite an accomplishment actually, but Shiva didn't spoke that out. "Well, eh, let me see your last Pokemon then please! Ready for another battle decided by you, Vaporeon?~"

------------
I'm having hope again to make it though this battle, but it highly depends what Tanuki's sending out. Excitement!!
Vaporeon's scored 12 in Initiative and is having a base Speed of 65.
