Though Spitfire took a massive hit Marchbaby was thrilled to see that she was able to endure the attack. The young Litwick had fought far harder than Marchbaby thought was possible but he could not complain as it gave him even more options to handle this fight. " I know the previous time we tried to use Confuse Ray it was a wasted turn but I think it will be worth trying again. Do be careful as I do not think you can endure anymore damage." He then looked around at the other trainers. He was amazed to see Suicune struggling to defeat more than one of their Pokemon so far as most of the Pokemon being used were not known for their endurance. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/litwick.png) | Spitfire | Lv 25 Used Confuse Ray!

Lei grumbled, it wasn't easy to get anything out of this bunch, she got a few answers but they were all too used to be on their own and too caught up in the battle to really think about working together and listen to her. It would be so much easier if they all just told her what they got and she could lay a plan which they would follow. Instead they were left to scramble around with all these random attacks which was so much less effective. She threw her head back and walked away from the others, she could at least figure out to follow suggestions, as shy just tried to put some distance in between them to avoid being an easy target. Pokemon was so much easier, or the servants back home, they all knew their rightful place and what to do when she asked. She glared up towards the camp where more people were watching, "bummers! living off others hard work," she said under her breath and added sarcastically, "you're welcome."Something white caught her attention and she saw a white shuppet came drifting towards her, she raised an eyebrow, and glanced around for its trainer. She had remembered someone else having one, but what was it doing here? It grinned to her and as she glared at it, it took a deep breath and its eyes rolled back in its head as if it really savored something. It drifted closer and Lei's nose wrinkled in disgust, "get away from me!" she snapped and tried to push it away but her hand just went straight through it. She shivered. Inana wiped her tears away and her ears twitched, she stared at the azurill with open mouth as the blue water type tried to coax the mighty beast. She glanced at the suicune who didn't seem to have much attention on the other water type and Inana raced over the sand to the azurill. "What are you doing? It's not listening!" She whisper shouted to Tama and looked around at all the other pokemon attacking, "I don't think you can stop it while anyone else is attacking, don't you think you should stop them first?" she added nervously. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/91u5cfx2n/halloweenshuppet.png) | "Shuppet" | Lv 25 Used Switched in!

Nate knew that it was a very big risk in sending out Mothra but then again it would become a poison type eventually... since he doesn't know about Wurmple able to become a Beautifly... but until it evolves he would not be afraid of them. He shuddered at the thought since most bug Pokemon do evolve at a low level so it wouldn't be long until his bug Pokemon became a bug and poison type, he pulled out a pokeball. "Mothra return." Nate didn't want to have his Pokemon evolve during this battle since it has happened in the past for other trainers. Mothra disappeared into his pokeball. "Laxus it is your battle." Nate nodded to his small Pokemon. Laxus walked forward ready to battle. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/pichu.png) | Laxus | Lv "25" Switched in!

With rain now pouring down Marchbaby feared that Suicune's water type moves would become even more of a hassle to deal with. He was thankful that weather had no bearing on Night Shade or Confuse Ray but still knew things could take a bad turn once Suicune struck again. They did finally get Suicune down to half it's health which was good news and Spitfire would be able to get off at least one more Night Shade which should be a big help given how much damage Suicune had already taken. At the same time Marchbaby was at a loss as to which Pokemon he should use if Spitfire got knocked out. As he tried to buy himself some time to think about which Pokemon he should use next he decided to keep up the offensive while the opening was there. Spitfire had been great so far and he saw no reason not to cause as much damage as he could using the young Litwick. " Spitfire use your Night Shade, in this weather it is your only damaging move worth using." He then waited as Spitfire prepared to use her move. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/litwick.png) | Spitfire | Lv 25 Used Night Shade!

Lei looked up as rain started to drizzle down and she narrowed her eyes at the suicune. What was it up to? The legendary seemed less affected by their lowering of its defenses as Lugia had did but other than the breeze, and now the rain, she couldn't put a finger on what was different. "Hey, Lugia is known to be stronger than suicune, right?" She called out to the others. Why the difference? "Do you think we're too few this time?"She sighed as she looked at the small group gathered to defend themselves against the aggressor, it would be so much easier if they all just did as she told them to, but they didn't even wanted to answer her questions. The shuppet drifted closer with hungry looking eyes but Lei didn't notice. "Where did Inana go?" She mumbled to herself, "they all attack with physical moves even though I tried to lower its special, why don't they think!" she groaned as she glared at the other trainers. A maniacal laughter made her jump, she had forgotten all about the shuppet. It giggled as it drifted past her, slowly blowing up like a bubble, Lei covered her ears and ducked her head when it looked like it was about to explode. The shuppet released the air forcefully and emitted a ear-piercing screech. Lei's eyes widened in wonder. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/91u5cfx2n/halloweenshuppet.png) | "Shuppet" | Lv 25 Used Screech!

As the sun was slowly blocked out and the rain began to fall, Shinya looked up at the sky and began to wonder if maybe Lei had a point. From the story Venom told him about his battle against Lugia, it sounded like the ninja and the other trainers had an easier time with their legendary encounter than Shinya and his fellow trainers were having with this one. However, at the same time, it wasn't hard for Shinya to see why. Suicune may have been weaker than Lugia, but so were the Pokemon that Shinya and the other trainers were using, compared to the Pokemon that participated in the bout against the Diving Pokemon. "As far as I can tell, it's just the five of us right now! And our choices of Pokemon aren't exactly doin' us any favors! Doesn't anyone have anythin' better?!"The Team Skull grunt answered Lei's question, then asked one of his own to all the other trainers around him. Still, even if the odds were against them this time, that wasn't gonna stop Shinya. Not by a longshot. So, after wiping some rainwater off of his face, the Bug type trainer grabbed Heracross' Poke Ball and withdrew him for the time being. "Tag out for now, Heracross! Looks like the rain washed away Nincada's mud, but no big deal! We can fix that!" Shinya exchanged Heracross' Poke Ball for Nincada's Sport Ball, then tossed it up into the air, sending the Trainee Pokemon back into the fray. "Nin! Nincada! Nin!" Naturally, as a Ground type, Nincada didn't care for the rain at all, showing great discomfort right away. However, Shinya didn't seem to care at all, and was far more focused on making use of all the mud that Suicune's sudden downpour had created on the beach. "We've been over this, Nincada! Don't start with me! Progress has been kinda slow, but we are at the halfway point now! So, just stay cool and get ready to throw some more mud!" After taking a moment to get used to the rain, Nincada noticed what his trainer was talking about, as nearly all the sand on the beach had been turned into mud by the Aurora Pokemon's sudden shower. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/nincada.png)

Penelope hadn't been in this weird mysterious island that long when it started raining, hard. She quickly returned all of her Pokemon into their safety Pokeball. As she was looking for shelter, she heard a loud howl but not from a Pokemon she would recognized. In the distance, she saw something glowing used an attack on a silhouette. As she was carefully getting herself close, because the ground was getting muddy and slippery, she then heard an annoying Screech followed after. She was starting to get scared, as the sky was dark and rainy, and she just wanted to hide out in somewhere dry until this rain passed. Then, she finally saw the source of this rain, the legendary Suicune! However, she also forgot the myths and stories about Suicune in the textbook, because this wasn't her best subject in class! She got sort of close enough to engage it in a battle, and see other people there. She dug up her Pokeball and called out her Bellsprout, remembering that the opponent was a water type. She commanded Nectar to use Growth because there's no way Bellsprout could stand still in this weather. While her Bellsprout was trying to grow, she wasn't paying attention as she was adjusting her hat to protect her eyes from this rain, and then carefully looked around her backpack for a jacket from this rain. Every successful picnicker would be prepared for at least rainy surprises. ![](https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy/069.png) | Nectar | "Lv 25" Used Growth! Miracle Seed

"Speak for yourself!" Lei shouted back to Shinya, "I'm doing the best I can here," she defended herself and glanced at Marchbaby, it had been him who had pulled the weight last time but he hadn't used the same pokemon as last time, which definitely explained why things were going differently. They had taken quite a beating as well, so perhaps they were simply unable to battle again this soon? "It would have been useful if I had been able to bring Dragomir again, but I didn't have time to get anything else than what I had on me," she said loudly to no one in particular, and glanced at the glowing white shuppet ahead of her. And then there was that strange ghost which seemed to have decided to jump in on their side. "Attack it with something useful," she called to it, not thinking about thanking it for its help or recognize she had no right to command it around. "Inana! Where are you! Stop hiding!" Lei shouted as she looked around for her white bear, but didn't see it right away, she needed to attack this beast. The shuppet inhaled as if it smelled something delicious and then dark shadows blasted from it towards the suicune. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/91u5cfx2n/halloweenshuppet.png) | "Shuppet" | Lv 25 Used Night Shade!

As soon as Lei shouted back at him, Shinya couldn't help chuckling and smirking to himself a bit, wiping some of the rainwater off of his face as he did. "Oh scary." The Bug type trainer said in a sarcastic tone, rather amused with the way everything was progressing, not just the battle itself. That said, Shinya did notice something that was mildly concerning. As the rain continued to fall, Suicune's condition slowly but surely improved little by little over time. True, the Aurora Pokemon was still taking damage from every attack the trainers and their Pokemon threw at it, but it looked as though all of their efforts to lower the stats of the legendary Pokemon were being undone. This made the Team Skull grunt raise an eyebrow at the Aurora Pokemon, as he mulled it over in his head, then decided to try something. Just to see if he was right about all of this. "Let's see if these legendary Pokemon really do live up to the hype. Nincada, make use of all this mud! Hit Suicune right in the eyes with your Mud-Slap again!" Although the rain did appear to be undoing their efforts, it was still good for something. All the sand on the beach had been transformed into some very thick mud, which Nincada was quick to make use of. "Nin! Nin! Nincada! Nincada!" The Trainee Pokemon collected as much mud as he could in his claws, then threw it all at Suicune, aiming right for its eyes. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/nincada.png)

Penelope kind of ducked when she saw mud being flung at the legendary. There’s no telling if any would get to you with the rain and wind around here. When the other Pokémon finished, she looked around and saw a shuppet and a nincada. She’s familiar with the nincada but not so much of the shuppet. She then looked at her bellspout, and he seemed like he was under pressured, awed, and intimidated by the legendary at the same time. “Are you ok?” She asked her Pokémon The bellsprout tried to jump to show his energy, but it ended up looking awkward. The presence of suicune was like showing the judges your performances on a show, if the grass type had any talent. He wasn’t shaking his legs, but a different kind of nervous tension where his feet were standing a little too still, and Penny noticed that. ”We can do this! It’s just a big wet dog! Use bullet seed this time! Penny tried to reassure the grass type. The bellsprout cried in agreement, and tried to show off his talent by spewing seeds at the enemy at fast speed per seconds. ![](https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy/069.png) | Nectar | "Lv 25" Used Bullet seed!

Tama turned to the strange bear and tilted her head. Her eyes would keep turning from the powerful legendary to Inana for a second, as she tried to consider what the bear was telling her. It must be true that this wasn't working, though. Even as the Legendary seemed to hear what Tama was saying, as long as the other team members kept attacking, it was useless. The aquatic mouse huffed, lowering her gaze to the floor. "You're right..." Then, she raised her head up as she gathered her resolved and nodded her head firmly. "Then it's up to us to get everyone to agree that violence is not the answer. Are you with me?!" Tama declared to Inana. Without waiting for an answer, Tama would spin around and bounce enthusiastically over to the other Pokemon. She raised her tail high in the air and began waving it around dramatically. "Listen, my teammates! I really believe in us! But this, it's not going to work. Violence only leads to more violence..." Tama began pounding her tail against the ground and cheered on the other Pokemon, if for the opposite reason then why people would normally cheer. "If we all put aside our fears and aggressions...I really believe that we can...No, I know we can change this beast's heart! Clearly, there's a reason it's attacking! We're the outcasts here, not it. So let's work with this beast to calm it's soul, not batter it's body...and convince it that we mean it no harm!" ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/azurill.png) | Tama| Lv "25" Used Helping Hand!

After having both Spitfire and Shocker knocked out Marchbaby was not entirely sure what he should do next. None of his physical attacking Pokemon were a great match up for Suicine but it's special defense was almost back to normal. As Suicune had already taken a lot of damage Marchbaby decided his best option would be to Revive Shocker and hope it could ride out the rest of the battle. He grabbed a number of berries and herbs scattered near the beach and fed them to the mechanical Pokemon who woke up from their unconscious state ready to battle again. " I know that trick won't be able to work again for a while but I am glad you are back in the fight Shocker. Once you are done recalibrating we can cause some real damage." He then waited for Shocker knowing it would not be ready in time for this round Marchbaby revives Shocker.
