The Vulpix and the Espeon knew the drill. Vixey shot off an immediate Incinerate, aiming to keep out of range as much as possible while dealing reliable fire damage. Dinah did something she hadn’t quite tried before. As the Duraludon roared ferociously, she used Copycat to imitate the move, the noise scraping her throat on the way out and seeming so incongruous that it pulled the beast up short for a moment.

“I’m here, I’m here!” Taylor shouted as she dashed over to stand beside Tamara. Shooting the teen a grin, she nudged shoulders with her, releasing some of her own pokemon. “You found another one, huh?” She laughed. “You must be a Duraludon magnet or some shit!”
Oops, swore in front of the kid again.
In a burst of light, Vixey and Dinah appeared on the pitch.

“She has a point!” Taylor chuckled, earning a rare grin from the Espeon. For once they were on the same side, rather than bickering!
<Well…> Archimedes started, trailing off and scowling. <Well, I don’t know, but I’m sure I would’ve figured it out!>
Taylor laughed, smoothing down his ruffled feathers with the hand that wasn’t holding her staff. “Take it as a life lesson, bud,” she advised cheekily.

Taylor laughed. “Ah, but you can’t dictate the terms of a bet after the bet is won, little bird!” She insisted with a grin. “They have to be set beforehand. Else anyone could demand anything, and that way madness lies!”
She was talking absolute garbage, and everybody knew it. Dinah huffed. <You’re a pokemon anyway, not a trainer,> she pointed out, her tone making it clear just how much of an idiot she thought he was. <What would you even do with any number of BYTES?>

“Ohh…” Taylor nodded, understanding now what he was talking about. In the next moment, a sly smile curved her lips. “Well, you see, you found the Klink before we’d even had a chance to settle on the details, so I’m afraid you don’t win anything!”
An indignant squawk left the little flying type, and his feathers puffed up in outrage. <What?!> He demanded. <That’s not fair!>

<So,> Archimedes called down, his voice faint but audible as he circled overhead. <How much do I win?>
“Hmm?” Taylor responded, confused. “What do you mean?”
The Rufflet fluttered down to land on Taylor’s staff, perching at the top surprisingly gracefully. <Well, I won the bet, didn’t I?> He explained, haughtily. <I was the closest, with a prediction of half an hour! So how much do you owe me?>

The battle had been over almost before it had even started, and they were back on the move. “You guys have gotten strong!” Taylor praised with a grin. “Dinah and I didn’t even have time to get involved before you took him out!”
Vixey’s chest puffed out a little in pride, though she tried not to show it. Archie would have preened, but being in the air made that rather difficult. He was back up in the skies again, scouting for further steel-types.
ENTERING THE TALL GRASS!

By the time Taylor drew close enough to see the Klink, Vixey was already engaging it in battle. Spitting an Incinerate in its direction as Archie dove in with a Crush Claw, the two made for quite the team!
The Klink’s gears whirred and clicked, a shrill, panicked tone to the noise. Agitated, it shot out a Thunder Shock in Archimedes’ direction, as if in the hopes of clipping his wings.

Just then, a victorious cry from the Rufflet overhead split the afternoon quiet.
“No way, are you serious?” Taylor laughed, jogging to keep up with the bird. An irritated sigh came from Dinah as the Espeon hastened to keep up, clearly irritated to have been proven wrong. Vixey, for her part, was laughing at the coincidence, dashing ahead to where Archimedes was hovering in clear indication.

<And what’s your money on?> Vixey chimed in, trotting ahead to sniff at something at the side of the path they were following. <How long?>
“Hmm…” she mused, pretending that the matter needed serious thought. “Shame I’m not a Seer, isn’t it?” This won a huff of laughter from Vixey and an eyeroll from Dinah. “Let’s go with… Two hours!” She was optimistic, but realistic!

Vixey (Vulpix) Support - Taylor (Black Belt & Armorer) Sweeper - Mumble (Piplup) Tank You’d think the fact that these were called Colossal Battles would mean that Taylor was prepared for the sheer size of the opponent, but nobody had ever accused Taylor of thinking things through. “Whoa…” she breathed as she loaded into the arena, completely failing to notice the landscape in favour of the huge ice-type looming before her. Vixey and Mumble were already on the field, waiting for her to get into position before launching their own attacks. Because yes, she’d be involved in this battle, and her attacks would require her to be in close quarters with the giant Eeveelution. Taking in the size of it now, she was beginning to question the sanity of that decision…
The ground rocked violently beneath her, and finally she turned her attention to the location.
“Well, shit.”
Freezing cold water surrounded them on every side, and the tentative ground upon which they stood was actually just a huge plate of ice floating down the waterway. The edges were raw and jagged, and the crash they’d just felt had been the result of this platform colliding with another.
Mumble looked overjoyed, as though very much in his element here. While he wasn’t an ice-type, he was a penguin. Taylor grinned as the water-type cast a pleading expression her way. “Go ahead, baby,” she nodded. “Remember, you’re trying to hold its attention, yeah?”
<Yes, boss!> The Piplup chirped, diving without hesitation into the ice-cold water. Taylor could help but grin at the fact the little guy was still occasionally using that title he’d picked up from Kazuki’s Scorbunny. The fire-type had really made an impression on him.
Speaking of fire-types, she turned her attention now to the Vulpix, who was looking far less comfortable with the landscape. “Stay back as much as you can and focus on healing, yeah?” She instructed as the Glaceon roared out a challenge. Reaching a hand down to stroke along the fox’s head, she took a moment to psych herself up for the coming fight.
Vixey used Buff - Taylor gains a +10 bonus to all rolls. It didn’t take long for the other player to load in, and Taylor raised an arm to wave to Rhaenyra. “Hi!” She called, but before she could say anything more, the Glaceon launched its first attack.
Glaceon attacks Piplup, Taylor & Vulpix with Ice Shard 8jQIUEQw2d30 In a particularly on-brand move, the colossal foe called up countless smaller shards of ice from water around them. They hovered in the air for a beat, before with an almighty roar, the Glaceon sent them hurtling towards Taylor and her team. Being in the water might have saved Mumble, but seeing the attack coming, he launched himself up and out, leaping in the way of a good chunk of the shards that had been heading in Taylor’s direction.
Mumble used Guard - Taylor takes only 1/2 Damage for 1 post. Mumble takes 2x damage for 1 post. Using the cover this offered, Taylor erupts into motion. With a leap and a shout, she hurls herself from her starting platform to the one Glaceon stands on, and swings with her staff. As she moves, each end begins to glow with elemental power, fire licking at the ends with the power of Black Belt’s Elemental Punches!
Taylor attacks Glaceon with Fire Punch x 4 (Recoil Fast Atk) 4d20+160 + Rarity (15) + Buff (10) + Super Effective (+20) + Prompt (+5) = 40 x 4 = 160 A flurry of blows lands, one after the other in quick succession. She really didn’t want to think of what it would have been like to take on this fight before unlocking the elemental punches capstone.
She began to shiver, something about the close promity to the Glaceon chilling her down to her bones. Thankfully, Vixey took that moment to fire off some healing.
Vixey heals Taylor with Ember (Heal x2) 2d12+30 + Rarity (10) + Prompt (5) = 15 x 2 = 30 Noticing the shivers wracking her trainer’s frame, the Vulpix hopped to an adjacent patform and sent some flickering Embers to dance around the human’s form. Her armour clinked a little as she moved, but thankfully wasn’t so heavy as to impede her movement.
Mumble chose that moment to leap from the water, sliding in circles around the Glaceon, trying to both make sure that he was the most prominent target and to confuse the opponent.
Mumble attacks Glaceon with Swagger 1d50+30 + Rarity (10) + Prompt (+5) = 15 x 2 = 30
Glaceon's HP: (520/800)
{BREAKDOWN}{BREAKDOWN}Vulpix (148/200) Active Damaged by Glaceon for 32 HP Damaged by Recoil for 20 HP
Taylor (200/200) Active Damaged by Pokemon for 32 HP (halved by guard to 16HP) Damaged by Recoil for 40 HP (halved by guard to 20HP) Healed by Vixey for 40 HP
Piplup (216/300) Active Damaged by Pokemon for 32 HP (doubled by guard to 64HP) Damaged by Recoil for 10 HP (doubled by guard to 20HP)
GLACEON (520/800) Charging 1/3 2d30·4d20+160·2d12+30·1d50+30

<Obviously,> the psychic-type drawled, in what she probably thought was a cutting tone of voice. <The way your luck with these things usually seems to go means the sun will probably be setting by the time we find one.>
Taylor looked away from the herd of Ponyta she’d been watching graze in the distance and glanced to the watch on her wrist. She wasn't wrong, in fairness! “Alright, shall I take that as your guess then?” She asked, grinning. “That’d be… five hours. Roughly.” A huff of breath was the only answer, but it didn't dampen her mood! “I’ll take that as a yes!”

“Alright, what’s your bet then, Vix?” Taylor asked, turning her eyes down to the Vulpix. The fire-type in question hummed for a moment, thinking.
<Let’s go with… an hour.>
The words pulled an inelegant snort from the Espeon on her other side, and Taylor grinned at the pink pokemon. “You disagree?” She queried, tone amused.

As though timing it to prove the Rufflet wrong, a Yanma look the opportunity to buzz up to the group, getting in Taylor’s face and buzzing aggressively. With an irritated eye-roll, the Black Belt swiped at the insect with the umbrella she was carrying in case it rained, batting it away. Its buzzing grew shrill in pitch as the wild pokemon was punted away, shooting out of sight.
<With the number of bugs around today?> Vixey retorted, calling up to the Rufflet in the sky. <Not likely!>
