The Battle that Never Sleeps (NATG Day 23)

"Absol! Use your speed with a Quick Attack!"
"A Quick Attack? Oh no... what did my book say to do here... "

"Umbreon - Bide your time and use Payback!"

"Sol!"
"Brrrreon!"


And then it was not very effective

HOLY MOTHER OF CELESTIA I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME THIS TOOK. I think I stopped counting around hour 4 1/2. Jeez.

So in case you can't tell, this is Twilight and Rainbow Dash having a midnight Pokemon battle with their dark-type Pokemans!
I tried to go for "determined" for their expressions, and kind of ended up with "angry" instead. Woops.

Hope you like! The background was a royal pain of an experiment, done pretty much straight from my head with few references.

I don't own Pokemon or My Little Pony.
