When the ice and water had collided, several of the beams were sent flying. They hit the water, instantly freezing certain sections. Now, there were about five miniature icebergs floating around the pool. And, half frozen in one of them, was Staryu. Misty let out a groan, and quickly pulled out two PokeBalls.
"Oh, so sorry about that." Dawn giggled, and Buneary laughed as she bounced from iceberg to platform.
"Don't you worry, I'll get my revenge." Misty smiled. "Ok Politoed, let's end this!" The PokeBall landed on top of a iceberg, and the lime green Politoed emerged.
"Poli Poli." He called, clapping and dancing. Buneary stopped moving, and tapped her foot impatiently at him.
"Buneary use Bounce." Dawn commanded. Buneary stopped tapping, and then stamped her left foot, propelling her into the air.
"Politoed use Tackle." Misty ordered. Politoed jumped into the air as well, just as Buneary came down. Her foot and his head collided, both thrown off course. Politoed smashed into an iceberg, causing little bits of ice to rain around them. Buneary hit a platform, and a crack appeared.
"Buneary, use Dizzy Punch." Dawn ordered.
"Counter with Mega Punch!" Misty said, smirking.
"Yes?" Dawn snapped, as Buneary's ears glowed a rainbow colour.
"Oh, just that I can easily stop your attacks." The gym leader replied, and Dawn scowled. Buneary and Politoed ran towards each other, both aiming. Buneary punched Politoed in the stomach, and the frog retorted by punching the rabbit on the head, knocking her into the water. The rabbit shook and scrambled for a platform.
"Buneary, get out using Bounce!" Dawn said, looking very worried.
"Politoed use DoubleSlap." Misty said, smiling brightly. Buneary dived under the water, touched the bottom, than jumped out of the water. But Politoed was waiting on an iceberg. The green frog grabbed Buneary, and began to slap her with his other hand.
"Buneray Bun!" The little rabbit cried.
"Buneary, use Ice Beam!" Dawn shrieked. Buneary quickly fired the beams, and Politoed was blasted backwards.
"Use Bubble!" Misty said angrily. But Politoed had frozen, and was lying very still on a platform.
"Nice job Buneary! Now use a Dizzy Punch." Dawn said, smiling delightedly. Buneary jumped next to Politoed, and began to punch him in the side.
"Politoed, please unfreeze and use Bubble!" Misty pleaded. Politoed remained where he was, taking the blows
"We can easily finish this frog off, use Bounce!" Dawn yelled, punching the air. Buneary instantly leapt into the air, managing to gain more height than before.
"Come on Politoed, use Bubble!" Misty said, a tear forming at the side of her eye. Suddenly, the ice began to crack. Misty smiled and Dawn cursed as Politoed broke free and fired several bubbles at Buneary. The Rabbit Pokemon let out a soft groan, her feet bursting the bubbles. But she managed to initiate the attack anyway. Her left foot landed square on Politoed's head, making the frog groan and fall sideways into the icy water.
"We can finish this Buneary, use Ice Beam!" Dawn cried.
"Use Mega Punch and take the attack on your hand." Misty shouted. Buneary fired the beams towards Politoed, who was still bobbing in the water. He raised his fist, and the beams collided with it. Several shot off towards the water, but the ice started to form around his hand. He then jumped into mid-air, and soared down with his fist in front of him. The ice casing caused extra damaged to Buneary, who yelled out as she was blasted into an iceberg, shattering it. Dawn stared towards the floating pack of ice, and was thankful to see that Buneary was still awake. Both Pokemon looked relatively beaten, but now wasn't the time to call the battle off.
"Buneary, end this with Dizzy Punch!" Dawn exclaimed.
"Politoed, bring them down with Tackle!" Misty boomed. Buneary got up and jumped forwards, yelling with glowing ears. Politoed ran forwards, and the two Pokemon collided. Buneary's Dizzy Punch got Politoed in the jaw, while the force of the frog's Tackle knocked the wind out of Buneary. Politoed rolled in mid-air, before smashing into an iceberg. Buneary fell into the water, which had nearly all been frozen by the Ice Beam. The two trainers gasped as both Pokemon were deemed unconscious, leaving behind a frozen battlefield. The two trainers realized that they both only had one Pokemon left each.
"Looks like it is the last round." Dawn said, bringing Buneary back.
"Yep, one last hurdle before Ash is mine." Misty grinned.
"Just because he goes on a date with you doesn't mean he'll fall for you." Dawn snapped, causing Misty to cackle.
"Oh please honey!" She snorted. "I have known him far longer than you, and I am not letting some hussy ruin our relationship."
"We may have only known each other for a short time, but we are more connected than you'll ever be, so bring it out bitch!" Dawn growled, and pulled out her final Pokemon, as Misty did the same.
"Go Mamoswine!"
"Come on out Gyarados!"

"They are down to their last Pokemon." Meowth announced, staring through a pair of binoculars. Team Rocket was watching from a tree nearby, having changed back into their normal attire.
"Excellent, we should be able to strike very shortly." James giggled, rubbing his hand.
"Don't count our blessings yet." Jessie said. "We'll have to move the second one of those Pokemon faints."
"Calm down Jess, the machine is waiting, everything is going to go smoothly." Meowth said calmly, but Jessie still smirked.
"Well, let's hope your right about this for once."
