Now aren't we all lucky? Another one. I needed the distraction, so here we are; another type-advantaged battle, and I hope everyone is okay with how it turns out. If not, pm me and we might be able to sort it all out. Okay, I'm off now, so have fun while reading!

The mountain-top was rugged and covered with boulders in odd places, as if some giant Pokemon had thrown them haphazardly into piles. Clumps of grass struggled out of dry dust, and the dust rose in whirls around the feet of two human trainers; Kathy Uzu and Alice Lunar. They shook hands and smiled shyly at each other, as it was good manners to do so before any kind of Pokemon battle.

"Good luck, I'm going to give it my all," said Alice with a grin. "Not if I give it first," retorted Kathy in a good-natured, sarcastic tone. They then turned and walked away, stopping at a suitable distance. "I choose you, Quagsire!" exclaimed Alice, the light blue amphibian bursting from his ball with a happy "Sirrreeee!"

"Go, Arcanine!" shouted Kathy, sending out a powerful-looking bright orange wolf-dog. It barked and bent down to snarl from close to the ground, coat sparking with flames. There was a moment of silence, and then the two trainers called out orders at the same time.

"Earthquake!"

"Extremespeed!"

The blue frog Pokemon reached up with its pudgy arms, breathing in a great gulp of air. Arcanine howled and bounded forward, jumping up to land on top of one of the boulders that were arranged almost like a pathway from either side of the field. Quagsire leapt into the air, expelled its breath, and landed with a crash that shook the entire mountain.

The great fire canine yelped in pain as it felt the Earthquake attack through its paws, but being high up from the ground, was kept safe during the moments the Pokemon was flying through the air with its Extremespeed attack. Arcanine's trainer had wisely decided on a strategy that would keep the Earthquake from paining the Pokemon to as much of a minimum as possible, and would turn into an attack as a bonus.

Quagsire only had time to bellow in surprise before the massive dog slammed into it with a deep snarl. The powerful attack blew them both backwards into a pile of smaller rocks, burying them completely in dust and rubble.

The first to emerge was Arcanine; being larger, mostly stronger and less damaged from the earlier move, it dug its way out quickly. Quagsire took a little longer, but he emerged without too much fuss. They glared at each other, and the two trainers thought for a moment before trying another trick.

"Fire Blast, Arcanine!" shouted Kathy confidently. She was enjoying having a slight advantage in a battle, and the fire dog grinned as well, picking up on her emotions. Alice was quick to shout a rebuttal: "Blizzard!" Kathy frowned; ice typed moves were not good against fire type attacks, especially with Fire Blast being so powerful.

Arcanine allowed its lower jaw to drop in a silly-looking gape, readying itself for the ultimate fire-type attack that involved only fire, instead of a wave of simple heat or an eruption of rocks and magma. Quagsire landed its front paws on the ground and steadied itself before spraying a shower of ice so cold that the air literally went down far past zero in less than seconds. Arcanine winced at the cold, but attacked with all of his strength in one massive Fire Blast.

The ice and fire collided with a hiss and copious amounts of steam that gushed over the whole mountain. Each attack was just enough to cancel each other out, rather than one overpowering the other; both the fire blast and the blizzard were halted in their tracks. This was fairly surprising to both trainers, but Kathy was quick to try and take advantage of the situation.

"Thunder Fang!" she yelled triumphantly. Alice just stared, fairly surprised; thunder fang was an electric-type move. Didn't her opponent know that Quagsires were immune to electricity? However, Kathy responded to the shock with a smirk. She had everything planned out.

Arcanine charged its gleaming white teeth with electric power; the air thrummed with energy, throbbing as if with a heartbeat. It then clashed its teeth together to gain more 'snap', and the fire wolf tackled its enemy, latching onto slimy amphibian skin with its electrified fangs.

The electricity didn't enter the blue skin at all, instead curving around and around Quagsire's body in arcs that grew larger and larger. Eventually the whole Pokemon was covered with a glowing electric halo, and it was then that Arcanine stepped back to admire its work. Quagsire slowly climbed to its feet, and looked to its trainer, confused. The girl just shrugged, and decided to ignore this turn of events.

"Just try waterfall, boy," she advised. The Pokemon nodded and spat water from its mouth; this was its downfall. The water struck the electricity, which was in its entirety sucked immediately into the gaping mouth, and from there into the Quagsire's body. It is a well-known fact that with every Pokemon, though it may have protection from electricity due to their skin or other boundaries, there is always a way around it. In this case, electrifying water coming from inside of a Quagsire's mouth was the only way to strike at it with this type of energy.

The blue Pokemon shrieked in agony as its muscles spasmed at this new and horribly painful type of attack, and even Kathy looked a little concerned at the pain in its voice. Eventually, however, the stored energy of the Thunder Fang ran out and Quagsire was free. Thunder Fang was only a weak electric move, after all.

Quagsire didn't bother with an order from its trainer now; it simply used Surf, one of the most powerful moves every water-type Pokemon could have in its arsenal. Arcanine howled in agony as its fur became sodden, and Kathy was spurred into action by this horrible sound.

"Quickly, Fire Blast to dry off and Extremespeed to get on top of that pile of boulders!" she shouted desperately. The fire Pokemon immediately coated itself with fire, which was an alternate way to use the same energy of a Fire Blast, and ran away from the muddy and stinging water, using the boulders once more to escape danger.

"Damn it! Okay Quagsire, you've done great so far; now finish the job! Waterfall to climb up those rocks and finish it off!" Alice commanded. Quagsire quagged (that is so a real word) and coated its legs with water, a little slower than normal because of newfound caution to using water against this particular Arcanine. The water acted like the exhaust of a rocket, and Quagsire nearly flew up to the same level of its enemy. They stared at each other, both exhausted and panting, and both with fire in their eyes.

"Dragon Pulse!"

"Waterfall!"

Quagsire zoomed at Arcanine as if fired from a gun, but the Dragon Pulse was more powerful than it would have been due to the time the fire dog had had to regain its breath, above the water and beneath a burning hot sun. Wave after wave of purple-grey energy slammed into the frog Pokemon, until it finally squealed "Quaaaaa!" and was unable to continue its attack, falling to the ground far below.

"Catch it Arcanine!" commanded Kathy. Obediently, it jumped safely to the ground and allowed Quagsire to land on its back. Alice and Kathy met in the middle of the field, both covered with mud and grinning.

"Another time, then? This time, different Pokemon and field," challenged Alice. "It doesn't matter to me, I'll let you lose every time we fight," laughed Kathy. They both returned their Pokemon after thanking them for their help, and wandered off together, neither unhappy about how the battle turned out.
