Sophia shielded her eyes as sunny day brightened the arena. She hated bright lights and this was just as bad as the stadium lights at night. She should have worn some sum glasses but that would hurt the image she was trying to put forward to the fans. She was not the stereotypical ghost pokemon trainer. She could handle the lights it just too longer to adjust to more lights than less lights. 

Sophia noticed right away what Masquerain was doing. She had seem it thousand of times. It was unexpected from the opponent but it was a ghost type move. Quickly she barked the commands, "Virgo, protect Phobia! Phobia, Dim the lights. Make it hail." 

Sophia's pokemon immediately let into action. Glaceon leaped over to Froslass and took a defensive stance. Glaceon was so close to Froslass they were almost touching. Then Glaceon throw up his protective barrier to try the shield Froslass from the Ominous wind. The barrier was by no means large enough to cover them both but it made it so Froslass too less of a hit from Masquerain's attack. Froslass, with a pained look on its face, began to dance and twirl. High in the up near the ceiling of the stadium, dark clouds began to form. Down from them fell the hail Froslass summoned. However, as the hail hit the warm light of Sunny day, they melted into soft snowflakes.

Sophia extended her hand to catch the first of the snowflakes. Internally she was surprised to see how sunny day and hail seemed to mix to form soft snow. Externally, Sophia showed no emotion like this was exactly what she wanted. It definitely would not hurt her opponent's pokemon but it would be enough to allow Glaceon a much needed speed boost. The sunny day was dimmed slightly by the presence of the clouds and the temperature dropped to freezing. 

Sophia did not need to tell he pokemon what to do next. They knew each other too well. Glaceon shivered adorably head to toe the leaped through the snow into the space between Shiftry and Masquerain. It did a playfully rolled in the newly fallen snow with beauty and grace one would expect of a prize winning contest pokemon which it was. It was not hard to read the plan. Sophia ordered Glaceon to protect Froslass so Glaceon's actions were clearly meant to pull the attention of everyone to himself.
