===Round 11===

Displeased with how things were looking, Grey resorts to the big guns now... literally. Leviathan stomped into battle, cannons ready to fire. Theo didn't want to get hit by anything that came out of there. But Levi had a differnet idea. A massive Hydro Pump rocketed from those cannons, and Theo tried a piddly lil Thunder Wave.

It was washed out by the massive jets, and Theo with it.

And umm, yeah PS is right about that Bide round. The conditions stated weren't met, so I was like "Ohai Bide, boom!"

PS release and attack

[Phoenixsong]

S'pose now's as good a time as any to try Gyarados out for the first time. Con Rit (M), you're up.

Hm. Let's start with thunder wave, then dragon dance and, hmm... headbutt.

[Greyfox]

No worries, Darkly -- it was my own fault for not paying attention to my own words. D:

Levi, you've got a tough-looking adversary, but I'm very confident in you! Levi, start things off with a Fake Out to make that snake back down. Then use Rock Slide. Finally, let him hit you -- your Iron Defense will make him hurt. =P

===Round 12===

Levi didn't really mind when Con Rit came out next to be the deciding factor in this match. The massive sea serpent bellowed immensely, before taking matters into his own hands. A small charge was built up, but before Con could do anything about it, he was struck in the jaw by one of Levi's cannons!

Con had a fit, that damn beast almost slammed his teeth into his palate!

Levi: -3E ===//=== CR: -2E/-4H

Levi continued on his quick rampage, punching and stomping the ground. Rocks that were lying under Con began to fly up and pummel the serpents underbelly. Some of them missed, as Con took the damage while gyrating in the sky, dancing as best he could while getting hit by hard objects.

LevI: -8E ===//=== CR: -3E/-16H +Atk/Spd

Having eh jump on Levi since Levi couldn't fly, Con brung the fight to him. Speeding down, Con was aiming right for Levi's chest. Levi stood his ground and turned his back to Con. Con didn't stop-well it was too late to sto thsi high speed aerial headbutt kamikase dive. They two collided, and Levi was able to withstand the force of the strike thanks to him glossing over a bit before impact.

It still hurt quite a bit and Con Rit flew up again to ready himself for next round.

Let's try out Gyro Ball first. Then another Rock Slide. Finally, hit 'im with Flash Cannon! Counter all electric attacks with Counter/Mirror Coat. =3

[Phoenixsong]

Your resistance to steel moves should let you shrug off Leviathan's first and last moves no problem, so go ahead and dragon dance again. Then avoid rock slide with bounce and bash his little turtle head in.

===Round 13===

Con Rit swayed around in the sky over Leviathan. The heavy hitter looked up and fired off a brazenly grey colored sized energy ball. Con Rit allowed the attack to strike, and even though it stung, he didn't mind at all.

Floating through the sky, even the trainers watched the magnificence of the dragon dancing Gyarados.

Levi: -6E ===//=== CR: -3E/-4H +Atk/Spd

Satisfied with its speed now, Con Rit shot skyward, and was able to evade the Rock Slide by rocketing skyward....

Levi: -8E ===//=== CR: -4E

..and then he came speeding down with a fury. Levi braced himself for impact, but it stil hurt. Levi grabbed onto Con as the hit quaked through him, but he countered with a massive attack that seemed much brighter than usual. Con went backwards to deal with the attack's explosive brightness, and Levi shook his legs and arms, they still were reeling from that impact.

All right. Now torment him, then use thunder twice. If he protects, relax.

[Greyfox]

Double Team, first. Then wait for the Thunders. If one comes your way, use Mirror Coat. Otherwise, use Rock Slide followed by Ice Beam!

===Round 14==
Alright!

Con Rit seems pleased with his advantage over Leviathan thusly, and begins to screech and yell and well, be just a tantrum throwing baby up in the sky. Levi is confused, as to what could be tormenting the cryserpent. In any event, Levi focuses and split up into 5 Levi's each ready to dish out the hurt. They stand under Levi in a pentagon formation and ready themselves

Levi: -3E Trm +4 cl===//=== CR: -3E

Staring up, Levi and his posse waited as Con began to charge up a massive Thunderbolt. The shocking attack fell upon one Leviathan and erased him from the visual plane. Levi smiled and raised his arms. The rocks rose up and flew to Con, smashing into him from what he thought was all angles.

Levi: -8E ===//=== CR: -10E/-16H

Levi watched again, smirking as Con began to amass another bolt of judgment dealing electricity. Con took a moment to look down at his quarry and decided to hit the one over to the top of the pentagon. He bellowed as the Thunder rained down, assassinating another...cone! Leviathan and his two clones aimed their cannons to the sky, to Con's dismay, and fired off a nasty Ice Beam, in 6 different ways. Con tried to evade, but with them fly all ways he was struck with the real one.

Con flew down a bit lower, knowing that did not go as planned.

Put up a medium-sized (about 15-20%) Sustitute, followed by Ice Beam and Rock Slide!

[Phoenixsong]

I think not. Taunt him and stop that substitute--having clones won't affect his hearing, after all. They also won't stop a widespread attack like earthquake, methinks, so go ahead and do that. Then we'll just be lame and protect against the rock slide. :p

===Round 15==

Levi and his group begin to try and close this match out. But before they can construct a solid clone that would be able to withstand anything Con threw at it, they hear that Levi couldn't hit the board size of a Wailord. Now, that doesn't get Levi too riled up, but they perk their heads over, as if to see what else Con Rit can think up.

Rit follows with saying that Levi was so fat , he was floating in the ocean and Columbus claimed him for their new world. Levi got pissed.....hahahaha new world... XD

Levi: >_o! Tnt===//=== CR: -3E

Levi and his two clones didn't even care about aiming so much as they wanted Con Rit out of the sky now! Ice Beams, both farces and real ones went flying all through the air, aiming for the serpentine form. Con roared at the ground, and soon it began to ripple and quake, but Con then was struck in his mouth by an Ice Beam. It chilled his palate very thoroughly.

Levi was able to withstand the hit, but his clones were gone. No matter. He had something in store for that punk!

Levi: -8E/-10H ===//=== CR: -8E/-10H

Levi was quick to pick up what was supposed to be his Substitute, and begin heaving it at Con Rit. Con waited until the Rocks were inescapable, and then summoned a full Protective dome around himself. The Rocks slid off the shield, further pissing Levi off.

Levi: -8E ===//=== CR: -9E

The first warning bell rings! 5 rounds to go!

Perfect. Now that he's good and taunted, create a small substitute, then earthquake again and close with another taunt.

[Greyfox]

I neglected to ask before, Darkly, but how do you handle Energy KOs?

[DarkestLight]

Same as always. Though I'm thinking of modifying it a bit.

Right now, its currently when you hit 0, you spend two actions in a forced relax. You then get 20% back to rock with. Lately though, I've been in way too many stall matches. So it may change. Any suggestions that aren't energy KO's=lose? >p (Im jus messing, PS)

[Greyfox]

's what I thought.

Levi, let's end this! Using your pent-up anger, let's use another super-attack: Aqua Jet + Hyper Beam + Blizzard. *Hyper Frost! Knock him down before he gets that substitute up!

[Phoenixsong]

It's just that I've never seen the logic in the way most people do it around here. If you're too tired to continue then you're too tired to continue and you should stop, and if a trainer fails to manage his/her Pokémon's energy properly and makes it pass out as a result then that's their problem. It's not like you can take a fainted Pokémon and give it a few actions or so to snap out of a damage-induced coma, so why should you drag things out by letting it snap out of a fatigue-induced one? :/

Oh, fun, I get to lose on my birthday.

[Greyfox]

Well, if you played PS0 at all, Pheonix, I'd give you some rare items...

Happy Birthday though.

===Round 16==

Upon hearing his orders for a specialty attack. Levi grins at Con Rit. Con doesn't even care. He's over here making a small caricature of himself. And its coming together quite nicely! But the speed of Levis water induced cannon blast does beat out the Sub-just barely. As he's flying through the air, Levi's amassing a ridiculous amount of energy. So much in fact, that the attack he's trying to do---is losing power because it needs too much power.

Con is slammed into as Levi seems to explode with all the energy he had left. The Hyper focused Blizzard strikes but its much weaker than Levi would have loved. Con Rit falls on his back, as Levi then falls on him, exhausted.

Con pushes the weakened turtle aside, and finished that Sub, now plotting some sinister fate for Leviathan.

Levi: -19E ===//=== CR: -6E/-25H Sub: 5

Levi struggled to stand, but his limbs felt like jelly. He tried to point his blasters toward the ground to use any reserve energy, but they were steaming-overheated. Con loved how weak Levi looked, and roared at him, forcing the ground to quake under Levi's feet. Levi falls onto his stomach and winced, the pain of being tossed about was really indescribable.

Levi: >O!! -10H ===//=== CR: -8E

Now pleased with how things seemed to be leaning in his favor, Con roared again and told Levi he was so fat, he was declared a natural habitat for endangered fish. That ticked Levi off and he stood up, fuming.

===Round 17==

Con Rit takes the time to examine what weaknesses Levi has before Levi can actually exploit his own. Coiling up in wait, Con watches as Levi takes that Substitute and vents on it. It breaks under the constant pressure, sadly enough. But that's alright. Con has his plan now.

Levi: -6E ===//=== CR: +6E

Knowing things might get a bit rough, Levi makes sure to be able to take down this beast as best he can. Rocks are flung with earnest at Con-to try and bring the serpent down, but they all are deflected off a happy little shield that Con erected, just in case.

Levi: -5E ===//=== CR: -7E

A bit calmer about how things are working out, Levi just takes a deep breath. That thing can't beat him! He's the man! Con smirks, and fires up a Thunderbolt to put that to contention.

Levi aimed one cannon, and fired off a piddly amount of water over at Con-as the Thunderbolt seared across the battlefield and electrified Levi's senses.

[Phoenixsong]

Thanks, DL. Aaand I'll just go ahead and double-post so Grey will see it, etc.. Ahem. I don't really see much else to do other than protect, endure, protect. If you could hop into the pool and submerge yourself before doing so that would be great, but if Levi is comboing whatever with aqua jet and you don't have time then don't worry about it.

[Greyfox]

Nothing more to do than an Aqua Jet + Frustration combon, Levi. We'll see where it goes from here.

===Round 18==

Levi decides to take this fool out once and for all, again. He readies his cannons and barrels forth toward Con, whom again, seems ready for the whole shebang.

The serpent creates a barrier of impenetrable energy just strong enough to withstand the speedy assault, which beats against that shield mercilessly.

Levi: -7E ===//=== CR: -9E

Levi falls to the ground again, exhausted. Con feels exactly the same way, completely tired. But at least he's still alive.

Levi: >> ===//=== CR: 9_9

Not pleased that this damn Serpent won't die, Leviathan forced himself back on his feet and cleared his lungs. He was ready for another go at it. Con just stared, knowing he couldn't really do much more anyway, but stalling like this was completely hilarious.

Oi... this has gone on for far too long, Levi, but there's nothing he can do to prevent his fainting this time. Once he gives you an opening, hit him with Frustration until he's finally down.

[Phoenixsong]

Hm. I was actually hoping you'd take a little more damage last round, but oh, well. Flail + thunderbolt + giga impact, if you can manage it; if not, just flail all the way.

Levi decides here and now: this thing must fall. It kept living throughout the ages by being this annoying, didn't it? No matter. The Balstoise reared his guns upward, and charged forward. Con blazed forward as well his body whipping and snapping and teeth gnashing every which was as Levi came into striking distance. Before Con could actually get a good series of hits-his energy level dipped. Spirit alone kept the dragon wannabe Flailing, but all that moving around just pissed Levi off more.

He grabbed Con by the middle of the tail section and swung Con so that the serpents body acted as a whip. The break point came when Levi reeled him back-the sudden jerk motion knocking the last bit of life out of Con.
