With a new month came a new trip to the pit, to give Nightshade and Azalea something more exciting to do than endless drills at home. Though the excitement had perhaps worn off a bit now that they had faced off against the same opponents a few times. Azalea slipped into the water with surprisingly little splash for something of her size -- which wasn't to say none, but still, considering how big she was, it was some accomplishment that half the pool didn't splash out. Nightshade hopped onto one of the floating platforms, and Noa waited in the stands, at the ready.

The Handler was new at this whole thing and watched from above. They had learned how to keep the boss animal's spirits up and memories down about who they had fought before. This would be interesting, he figured as the massive Pliathor broke the water's suriface.

The last few times they'd tried the lightning attack, Noa had asked Azalea to charge it first, and that had persistently gotten them nowhere. He wondered if she might do better just tossing lightning at the other Pliathor without the wait. "Azalea, lightning," he said. Either way, it wasn't going to be over any quicker, so they might as well try.
As for Nightshade, Noa gave the Wiurn the signal to use his flames on the opponent. Both creatures began preparing to launch their attacks, though it was less flashy than it might have looked if they were using more physical power.
(Azalea uses Call Lightning Nightshade uses Balefire)

Still, no matter what they did to her, Squirt seemed to remember and opened her massive maw, letting loose a horrifying screech in the direction of the Wiurn.

Calculations
Azalea uses Call Lightning! Azalea's Dexterity of 12 + 2 rolled by staff = 14 vs. the 10 Dexterity of Squirt Azalea will deal the most damage possible! Call Lightning deals 10 damage 10 doubled = 20 damage Squirt's Health is now 20
Squirt hits back! Squirt uses Tail Slap against Azalea Azalea's Danger Sense activates, Squirt misses her attack!
Squirt uses Screech against Nightshade! Nightshade's Danger Sense activates, he will miss his next turn!

Having seen what transpired, Noa supposed that it had only been a matter of time until he saw his own tactics used against him even by the pit's own monsters. He grimaced, trying to ignore the ringing in his ears. Well, the good news was that they wouldn't fall for the same trick twice in succession, but if the beast tried a roar...
Why couldn't these things ever be quick?
"Azalea, bash. Nightshade, fire." If they could recover enough to use their attacks... Well, but even then, it would take some time before the other Pliathor went down, wouldn't it?

She writhed against the lightning but managed to get a scream out no matter what the consequences. The Wiurn was shaken, it would seem but shook it off quickly. The Pliathor opened her maw again and lashed out against the Wiurn, ready to crunch his bones to dust.
