Was that attempt two? Steph wasn't sure if it counted, but she would count it for now if only to be safe. She was pretty sure that counted as an attempt, though even before the spikes of ice were finished forming, Steph's mind was already working to find a way to work it to her advantage. Her instincts were sharp it seemed, especially as she locked in to the task at hand with no time to think too hard on it. Could her team keep up with her instincts though? That remained to be seen.

Dusk, troy and cree-uyte an open weeth embah aw tyke advahntage of an openin caused boy the uhthahs t' hiieh' the Metagross weeth embah!"[/color] Either way, she would aim to get Dusk closer and closer. All out attack was the aim of the game for her right now, to try and cash in with pressure as much she could.

[color=37B5A9]"Glory, Aqua Jet up the spikes and use em as a ramp! Then I want ya to come down hard on him with Aqua Jet! As hard as you can! Steven, use Water Gun on Glory to accelerate his speed and power! Then rain down some more water guns while he continues to bounce around and find an opening if ya can! Dusk, try and create an open with Ember or take advantage of an opening caused by the others to hit the Metagross with Ember!" [/color]

With this most likely being attempt 3, she knew she had to keep setting up for that last gamble, just in case it was needed. And for that, she needed Dusk closer to the other two. Hopefully she wouldn't, but it wouldn't hurt either way. At this stage also, she was really getting into the fight, forgetting about the crowd around them as she thought of what move the Metagross might use next.

A psychic based move? A ground move? Another of the elemental punches maybe? She hadn't seen it use a steel type move either yet. Or maybe it had a defensive move? A set-up move? A status move? Her mind began to race through the options she could think of, but until she saw them she could only theorize what could be potentially pointless counters as they mightn't apply to the situation at hand.

At any rate, keeping up the pressure was her best move here. Maybe one of Glory, Dusk or Steve could find a blind spot thanks to the sand, especially if they alternate their attacks, or attack at the same time. No doubt her opponent was already catching onto her plan, it wasn't anything fancy though it did indeed show she had a good mind for battles, but Steph was fine with that. A good strategy was sometimes a predictable strategy, thats why she would just have to change it up with something unexpected if she felt the need.

Or just have this third attempt work. That would be preferable....
