It turns out Crustle is hiding behind the building. He can't quite blend in when there are few huge rocks in the city normally. Sneasel is going on the offense! At least this isn't as terrible a matchup as the last one. Sneasel can manage a 2d6+1.

[stirtheblood]

Awright! Let's show that rock what you've got!

[He gets a 7! A solid showing.]

[derailer]

Of course Crustle knows Earthquake, and is going to use it to do decent damage to Sneasel. But Sneasel won't be brought down! He has the great idea to use Brick Break on this big ol' brick, and he's going to keep doing that until Crustle relents!!

[stirtheblood]

Ha! Yeah! Beat him down!!

[Vicious is an excellent cheerleader, and once Crustle is subdued he goes over to give Sneasel a pat on the back.]

Nice moves!

[derailer]

Sneasel is tired and scuffed, but he starts purring with the contact, preening. The alpha Sneasel makes a short and jealous noise.

There are other bridges that lead to some much larger buildings you can see the shadow of, even through the fog.

[stirtheblood]

Hey, you've both got nice moves.

[That's to the alpha Sneasel. Vicious straightens.]

Looks like we got some more places to check out.

[derailer]

Alpha Sneasel huffs.

The Pokemon that are on ground level decide to take the initiative to lead the group over the bridge. There are a couple of towering athletic stadiums here. Litten meows again as he notices something—a quick, sudden movement happening very far up.

[stirtheblood]

Hm? What, all the way up there? What a pain...

[derailer]

You don't have a very aerial team. But what you do have are Hisuian Sneasels, who are good at scaling heights. Eager to prove herself after that UPSTART Sneasel showed her up, the alpha hops down and dashes over to the stadium, ready to start climbing.

[stirtheblood]

[Too bad he didn't catch a Rufflet. But Sneasel is pretty cool, and Vicious follows her over, steadying Litten on his head as he cranes his neck to look up.]

[derailer]

Watch her goooo!! She climbs quickly and skillfully up to the top. Unfortunately, whatever is up here is also very fast and stealthy, so getting up to the roof is only half the battle. Now what is she supposed to do... She looks around, apprehensive.

[stirtheblood]

...Hmm.

[Vicious can't see her very well, so after a moment he tries to find some stairs to get up himself.]

[derailer]

If you sneak around towards the back, you do eventually find some narrow emergency stairs. The other Pokemon are happy to follow you.

[stirtheblood]

[He scales the stairs quickly. He wouldn't want to miss any of the action.]

[derailer]

Sneasel is still here skittering around. Every time she thinks she sees the mystery Pokemon it darts away from her, and she is growling in frustration. But as you arrive, she finally manages to snag one of his scarflike appendages with a claw, pinning him into view. It's Accelgor!

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious vaults onto the roof just in time to see her catch him.]

Ha! There ya go!

[derailer]

Maybe she was actually waiting to succeed until he showed up, on purpose! That's definitely what it was. She is intent on ending this battle now that Accelgor is in her sights. As an alpha, she can manage a 2d6+2 for this battle!

[stirtheblood]

[Alpha Sneasel is having a bad day. She only gets a 6.

Vicious watches this in alarm.]

Eh?

[derailer]

Accelgor is a big cheater here. With a combination of Double Team and Infestation, he slowly drains Sneasel's health while rendering her unable to hit him properly in retaliation. After that he can keep using Quick Attack until she's too unsteady to even try to fight back.

[stirtheblood]

Cheater! That's cheap! C'mon!

[Vicious rushes in to scoop her up out of harm's way when it's clear she can't continue. He glances over at his other Pokemon.]

Hey, Snover! Ya wanna return the favor from before?

[derailer]

Snover gasps, realizing this would be appropriate. He has to step in at a moment like this! He nods, and prepares to fight! He can manage 2d6+1.

[stirtheblood]

That's the spirit! Let's see what ya can really do!

[He gets an 8! RNG is here for the poetic victory using the power of teamwork!!]

[derailer]

Litten sits calmly as he watches, knowing he would have a +4 bonus if he tried, but thinking all these mini character arcs are worth everyone having.

Snover is temporarily beset by the same strategy, and the Bug-type move hurts him more. But he concentrates, and utilizes his Hisuian expertise. With his mastery of Blizzard, he can use it in the Strong Style, greatly improving its strength and accuracy! With luck and determination, this Blizzard lands a hit even with Accelgor's dodging, and deals a heavy blow! Accelgor is left frozen, finally ending his reign of terror.

[stirtheblood]

[Look, everyone knows Litten is great. Sometimes it's more fun to make things difficult for yourself. Though implying he is doing it deliberately is probably giving Vicious too much credit.

He did at least want to give Snover a chance to redeem himself, and he yells loudly when the Blizzard hits.]

Yeah!

[derailer]

Snover looks incredibly emotional at his own success. He has reached catharsis today. He hugs the other Snover in celebration.

Klinklang and Crustle, having been observing this, come to help pacify Accelgor as he defrosts. He won't be attacking anyone anymore.
