Breaking in the Building [OPEN]

Akane watched amusedly at how effortlessly Doom wielded his whip made with fire. But, he only had so much time before he needed to breathe again. Akane raised her hand high in the air and knew as soon as Doom noticed her silent command, because Mr. Doom’s flames stopped, and began idly stepping around the growing puddles from the holes in the ground.

Akanes decided with his flash fire ability making him immune to fire attacks, he could defend from the rapidly growing water. Listening as best she could, she waited for the split second before she ordered a frantic-looking Doom to encase himself in his own fire spin. Confused but without a lack of trust, the houndoom did as he was commanded, and just in time too-the surf had gathered and filled the room just as the tomb of fire encased its willing victim.

After the smoke and water cleared, Doom was left standing. His legs seared with water damage and his whines filled the hall. He could battle, but Akane had a choice-would she continue to battle her pokemon? The furfrou could probably only take one more hit, but then again so could Doom. Considering it again, Furfrou was poisoned so it’d be slower than Doom, even with his damp legs. She was tired of her puppy losing all the time due to his inexperience-but she hated when he began to show pain-and yet he was also a drama-king so she couldn’t know for sure when he was actually in pain.

Akane decided she would wait for Nicole and her furfrou’s last move. This was going to be the true decision point-would she need to call a draw? Or would the duchess lose and prove that maybe she was not really worth her majesty’s time? Is this young girl really following my path? Or has she created her own?

The unexpected happened; the furfrou even in its weakened state began charging Mr. Doom. Akane let out a haughty laugh at her surprise and ordered for Mr. Doom to attack with a sludgebomb. Her intentions were clear to Mr. Doom-use the bomb to defend against the furfrou. In response, Mr. Doom arched his back, his forked tail shot up, and a hacking sound could be hear from the demonic puppy. Quickly a potent ball of sludge appeared before the houndoom, but it wasn’t enough, the houndoom kept making it bigger and bigger, all with the looming threat of the giga impact.

Finally satisfied, Mr. Doom waited until the giga impact was just about to hit, before he tried to block the attack with the sludgebomb and sent it hurtling in the furfrou’s face. The dust from the impact, combined with the toxic gas from the sludgebomb made it impossible to determine a winner right away. The red queen waited patiently, but she knew one thing for sure, both the hits landed at such a close range-they had too unless furfrou was too slow for houndoom, but she doubted it.
