~ SERAPHINA ~ Everyone on that side of the field, including Seraphina, winced a moment in pain. If they thought it was bad from behind Malcontent they should have heard from in front of her! It left a ringing in Sera's ears, but the Pokemon had a lingering shudder about them.
Once she could hear herself think again, Sera took a moment to comment, "Really? You're using a valuable potion on a little spar?" This reminded her she really needed to pick up some potions before she headed out for real, but if she'd had any she wouldn't have been wasting them on controllable fights. (This was the theory, anyway; in practice her ego just might have won out, but ssshh.)
"Both repeat." Chikorita tackled again, and Igglybuff continued to be adorable. On the bright side, Sera'd been a bit worried that if Hoothoot fainted soon her Charms would be wasted, but having him back in the fight and just utterly enfeebled was honestly pretty satisfying.

MORGAN Morgan suddenly felt somewhat spiffier for a moment, and she had no idea why. She didn't even know that 'spiffier' was a word.
She shook it off and answered, "Keep it up, Mal! And, well yes, I am--Raptor, Hypnosis on Chikorita--I'm not eager for death, unlike some, so I intend to train here somewhat more. I should imagine I shall have a replacement and then some potions by the time I do."
Meanwhile, oh my Arceus you're so fluffy I'm gonna di--oh, hypnosis? Sure thing, coming right up. It was almost a little disconcerting how quickly he was able to switch between adorabletic shock and down-to-damageless-business, though the tackle from the Pokémon he was now staring down couldn't have hurt... well, actually literally it did, but that wasn't the point. (Did it do a little more this time? Morgan couldn't be sure, but even if she had another potion to use, she didn't think Raptor would be able to hold on to concsiousness that close to the brink again.)
Malcontent, on the other hand, paused long enough to take a breath--do ghosts need to breathe?--and nod a smiling face Morgan's way, and then went right back to that infernal screaming.

~ SERAPHINA ~ Someone seriously needed to shove that sock in a washbin to shut it up. Sera cursed under her breath a bit to ease the pain in her ears. "So stalling getting to actual work, you mean." It wasn't even a jab or jeer; more of an 'r u srs' observation. "Last round Igglybuff. Keep it up Chikorita."
With this final charming gesture, Hoothoot's physical strength should be entirely minimized. Not that Igglybuff understood that in full, but Sera seemed happy with what she was doing, so if Sera was content she'd done enough, so was Igglybuff.
Chikorita, of course, just kept throwing her body weight. Man this was a really inefficient way to fight. Anything more tactical she might be able to pull off wouldn't have the same success rate or raw strength behind it, though, so no sense fixing what wasn't broken, she supposed.

MORGAN
"No," Morgan said indignantly, "It's not--"
It's not that she was lazy. It's that she was scared.
To be perfectly honest, Morgan didn't even really know how to deal with wild Domestic Pokémon. She assumed the odd stray she saw around the city were Domestic, considering, but she hadn't even approached those--both because she figured, even domestic, they were likely to be skittish; and, on the off chance they somehow were Feral while still within the city...
"It's not like that, but then I don't especially expect you to--"
Morgan was reminded of the battle going on when Raptor was hit by another full-body Tackle by the Chikorita and Charmed into submission at the same time. "Hypnosis on the saur!" She looked to her ghost, who had stopped screaming again. Was that Screech or Hyper Voice? ...Eeeh, Hyper Voice is a fairly okay Normal-type attack. Was it likely Shuppet would have that?
Whatever the case, Malcontent had looked her way again, and Morgan nodded and gave her a thumbs-up. Mal nodded bad and floated over and sideswiped at Igglybuff's chest-region. Morgan didn't see the specific location on Igglybuff's small body, nor even what Malcontent had attacked with--sheet, she supposed? --but she supposed it didn't matter.
[Shuppet used Knock Off on Igglybuff]
[Also, errr, I forgot Screech was single target. Generator has first screech targeting Chikorita, and second Igglybuff if that's okay with you. Given lack of saying she changed target, though, if you'd prefer to say she targeted Chikorita for both, that's okay with me]

~ SERAPHINA ~ [What how. Yeah that's fine though lol.]
"Expect me to what," Sera droned flatly, only to cut herself off with a gasp as Igglybuff went flying back from the force of even the light attack. She bounced a few times in a manner that to onlookers might look rather comical, but made Sera only concerned, even if about as much for her chances of victory as her friend's health. The little puff righted herself after a few seconds, though, and Sera sighed in relief.
Meanwhile, Chikorita could not avoid the captivating gaze this time, and try as she might, she soon found herself drifting into a mildly unpleasant sleep. "Hm? ..Oh c'mon! Wake up!" Grumbling, she ordered Igglybuff, "Fire with fire, use Sing!" She didn't specify a target, but Igglybuff took it as putting to sleep the one who put her ally to sleep, and directed her song at the Hoothoot.
The fun part here was that as much as Sera prided herself on her knowledge of Pokemon, she really could not have told you at the moment that both of the opposing Pokemon had the potential for Insomnia.

MORGAN
So cute, and fluffy, and can I just use you for a pillow? You look like you'd make an excellent pillow...
Aaand it looked like Raptor was asleep. Morgan toyed with the nozzle of the Full Heal in her bag. Sera...had had a point, though Morgan didn't really want to admit it. And even if she won, the need to use $45 worth of items to do so did rather admit defeat in itself...
Here's to hoping Raptor woke up before the Chikorita.
"Good job, Mal!" she called to Mal instead, prompting the ghost to float back over to the dozing dinosaur, and...scream in its ear.
When this battle was over, she was gong home, going to scrounge for every last Poképenny she could find, and she was going to buy a damned 'Dex Chip.
And probably some aspirin.

~ SERAPHINA ~ Sera gave a somewhat twitchy smile. "Ahh, good girl!" And now the odds were... not really evened at all. And there was no way Chikorita would wake up quite this fast. Sera was about ready to give the entirely tactical order, 'start flopping around wildly and hope it eventually feels some of it', but not quite yet.
"Now show some charm," she ordered instead, and Igglybuff gave Mal a sparkly-eyed wink now. Difficult fight or no, she was continually pleased with her choice of starters. All these status effects would be extra fun once poor Igglybuff could actually back them up with a little damage. Soon though. Sooon.

MORGAN
Morgan gave an exasperated sigh as her Pokémon gave a whimsical one. "Don't back down now!" the former called, "Hit it with all you've got!"
Mal nodded and thwacked the puffball in front of her... though not nearly as hard as before.
At least it was something, though.
Meanwhile, Raptor was starting to twitch awake, though wasn't quite there yet.

~ SERAPHINA ~ That hit was still rather unpleasant.. Igglybuff was a lot of nice things, but defensive was not one of them. Why couldn't it use less physical attacks like a normal ghost? Seriously.
"Again," Sera ordered, and Igglybuff complied, if a little wearily. About that time, Chikorita started to twitch as well, staggering to her feet.
"Hm? ..Oh awesome! Finish off that Hoothoot!" she called excitedly.
"Chik," the dino responded groggily, giving a determined nod. Another second to steady herself on her feet, and she threw herself into the sleeping owl. It felt a little cheap, she'd admit.. "Oh don't be like that. Your teammate put him to sleep, so it's legit!" Eh. She supposed that logic seemed sound. Still not her favorite flavor of battle, but she'd live.

Well, Raptor was down for the count after that. He'd just had time to blink his eyes open before falling back, apparently unconscious. Morgan grimaced at his Pokéball as she withdrew him. I'm sorry. I'll do better next time.
Aloud, she said, "Raptor, return. Mal, attack the Chikorita!" The Shuppet turned her sideswipe onto the tiny dinosaur instead at her trainer's behest, though felt rather bad for doing so. But... they're adorable! And they haven't got any tasty emotions for me to nibble, only sugary sweet and spicy determination. A few nice undertones here and there, but... It's not worth it, is it?
