The All-Comers Challenge (Refs: Darkly and Grey)

[Houndoom_Lover]

I attack first :3 Alright, Darius

Start off with Trick Room, then hit him with a Toxic then a Psychic....Not to fond of that start, but let's go X3

[Blademaster]

Trick Room...? That's a funny choice. Especially considering that Blaziken and Gastly have identical speed stats. LOL FREE ATTACK.

Use Shadow Claw, then use Aerial Ace to evade that Toxic and land a quick hit. Then finish with a point-blank Fire Blast.

===Round 1===

Alright! Battle Four in the Glitz Pit. I'm back at the mic stand, ready to watch Rawk be beaten like mincemeat.

..What? Someone's gotta spew some hate . Anyway, Houndy comes out with Darius, a resident Gastly who's seen his share of fights as well. The phantom begins to fly about the room, causing it to shift and warp in weird and very physics-altering ways. Rawk though, doesn't feel any different and runs toward the edge of the ring. Darius makes a high flying pass to compete the Trick Room, and is thoroughly speared by a rope-launched Rawk with a Shadowy buildup along his fist. Ow.

Dar: -7E/-12H ===//=== RH: -6E
TR: 3 rds

Rawk pulled his fist back as he fell to the ground, Darius recovering and reforming. the ghost gave chase right after, ready to hawk up all sorts of nastiness on Rawk. The Toxic spray came searing down like napalm, and Rawk ran for cover. He heard the splatter hit all around him, and he once again kicked off the top rope. He flipped over Darius and with one outstretched claw, sliced Darisu once again before landing on the rafters.

Darius was kinda freaking out, why the hell was his Trick not giving him an edge. He shot up after Rawk.

Dar: -3E/-4H ===//=== RH: -3E

Perched like the chicken it is! Rawk stared down as Darius came up wielding an incredibly powerful Psychic blast that threw Rawk for a loop. He took an awkward step back and fell backwards, off the rafters! The crowd gasped in amazement as Rawk seemed to pass out in mid flight. Darius kept up the chase, but before Rawk hit the ring, he put his hands to his face, and released a powerful Fire Blast.

Darius was unable to evade and wound up taking the blast full power. He flew up to try and get the flames from burning him, as Rawk rolled on the ring, kipping up once he felt it was safe.

Darius landed with a heavy thud, obviously upset over how that went down.

[Blademaster]

You know what they say about assuming...

Rawk, use Night Slash, Flamethrower, Shadow Claw. Evade those annoying status attacks with Aerial Ace.

[Houndoom_Lover]

I do ^o^ A Night Slash, you say--show him what we thing about it with a Sucker Punch, Protect against that Flamethrower and come out with another Sucker Punch

===Round 2===

Rawk, reared up now, imbues his fists with a ghastly dark aura. One hand turns solid purple, while the other shifts to camoflauge with the shadows. Watching warily, he raises his left-darker hand, before making a dash for Darius. Daruis floats up and spots the incoming Rawk. Before the dark fist can hit on its first pass, Darius shifts over to the side and strikes Rawk in the face. Rawks left hand swings up in retaliation, swatting Darius up and away.

Dar: -8E/-14H ===//=== RH: -7E/-4H

Darius stopped his vertical ascent and dove back down, right into a bath of flames. Rawk stood his ground as Darius sailed up and bellowed a commanding Flamethrower. The shooting flames sliced and bit at Darius..or so it seemed. Rawk noted the ghost was still pushng through the stream, and hissed at the fact that somehow, Darius was protecting himself.

Dar: -10E ===//=== RH: -7E

Having successfully nullified Rawk's flamethrower, Darius was now in close enough range to once again strike at Rawk's face. He did so, raking at the Blaziken's eyes. Rawk's right hand had risen to try and strike Darius back, but that Sucker Punch proved bothersome. He wiped the gaseous darkness away and slashed at Darius.

The ghost howled in pain as the claws ripped through its gaseous form. It took sometime for him to reform. This was not going well at all.

Quick, Psychic-while he's pinned in your mental bonds or whatever, use Destiny Bond and then Hypnosis

[Blademaster]

Use a somersaulting Blaze Kick to send that sucker sailing. Then Protect against Destiny Bond. Then use Bounce to avoid Hypnosis and get back into the rafters.

===Round 3===

Darius was tired of this fighter always getting the upper hand, so he decided to even the odds. Rawk ran over-and shoved a flaming foot up Darius' gassy body. Before he could fully retract, Darius counterattacked. Rawk's body was overcome by a mental wave of weakness that made him sick. Rawk fell to his knees, his stomach queasy.

Dar: -8E/-8H ===//=== RH: -6E/-16H

Knowing his vulnerability-Rawk stayed on the ground to catch his breath, and enacted a Protective shield to disallow any ill effects. It was a smart play, as Darius tried to bond his life essence to Rawks. It failed to succeed, to Darius's dismay.

Dar: -6E ===//=== RH: -9E

Upset, Darius tried to now put that fighter to sleep. Feeling sleep inducing powers come over him, Rawk slammed his hands into the mat to force himself up and he lunged clear into the rafters, hanging on barely. Darius actually got him drowsy! This was not good. He climbed ont the rafter and sat there, shaking his head.

Dar: -3E ===//=== RH: -4E Drowsy

Darius is now free of torment.

===Round 4===

Sitting on the rafter, Rawk stared lazily at Darius. No he had to wake up. There was no time for sleeping now. He had to focus. Darus watched as Rawk stood up -keeping one hand gripping a ceiling beam. A strange yell bellowed from Rawk, sounding more like a very powerful Yawn than anything. Darius was a little shook, but he followed through anyway and was able to secure a link to Rawk-ashes to ashes.

Dar: -6E ===//=== RH: -3E Still drowsy

Rawk could see clearly, and that's all he needed. Darius was taken by surprise when he saw claws coming to rake across his back! The ghost faded in and out of complete consistency for a bit, as Rawk landed in a crouch, hands steaming with energy. Darius was lucky-that Protection prolly saved its life.

Dar: -8E ===//=== RH: -6E

Rawk wasn't showing signs of sleep anymore. He raised both his hands, and began to box a bit, charging up his fists with dark magick. Darius knew this attack, and retaliated first, sending his body straight into Rawk's midsection. Rawk recovered slowly, but with power.

This was noted as a powerful right hook was completed against Darius, causing a cry from the small ghost. Darius flew up and around

Yer right Grey . I didn't note today was the 8th til later today. Well Rawk wins this one...Houndy gets 1 pt since Darius is under 50%..Next match starts!

>> Damn Im never getting complete reffings here XD

[chaos_redefined]

Up next, it's my turn to ref, and Crazy Elf Boy's turn to battle.

[DarkestLight]

Ok. Final verdict.

Order switch. MLG, Chaos, then Elf. MLG you post.

Any more order issues, PM me.

[chaos_redefined]

OK. Now waiting on MLG.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Ok, then. Good thing I don't make much trouble out of stuff.

As promised, here's Ise Nanao, my shiny female Medicham.

Fake Out, then Calm mind and finish with Psychic to cripple it.

[Blademaster]

Match her Fake Out with Aerial Ace, then use Mirror Move to copy her Calm Mind. Finish with Brave Bird to cripple her.

Round 1

Arena: The Glitz Pit
A raised square platform large enough to accommodate two Wailord if need be, with spotlights and rafters overhead. Agile Pokemon can jump and grab or even tand and move atop the rafters and use them to their advantage (shaking loose debris from the ceiling or scaffolding high above the arena, etc.). Around the Glitz Pit are cheering Pokemon on the floor and in bleachers overlooking the fight area. Put on a good show and they'll cheer for you and maybe even toss you useful items. Put on a crappy show and they'll boo you and toss rocks and garbage.

DQ Time: 5 days. Will be enforced by the ref. If I'm nice (aka If I remember to), I will remind you the day before.

Rawk appears out of his pokeball, ready to slice down Ise Nanao with his tailfeathers, when Ise charges him down before he could fully appear on the field. (Rawk: -2 HP, flinch | Ise Nanao: -4 EN). Before Rawk has the chance to recover, Ise takes the chance to calm her mind, preparing for her next attack. Rawk realizes the usefulness of this plan, so prepares his own mind in the exact same way. (Rawk: +1 SpAtt, +1 SpDef, -6 EN | Ise Nanao: +1 SpAtt, +1 SpDef, -6 EN) With their minds now calmed, they each show off their moves. Rawk charges at Nanao, and pummels him so hard it hurts both of them. (Rawk: -6 HP, -10 EN | Ise Nanao: -18 HP) Meanwhile Nanao throws all kinds of weird thoughts into his head, about how it's parents are now being served at KFC. (Rawk: -13 HP | Ise Nanao: -10 EN)

Trying a change to my reffing style. Based somewhat on Greys. Any comments, just say so.

[Blademaster]

Use Toxic, then blast her with a Shadow Claw, and finish by Bouncing off her head and into the rafters.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Substitute, then Psycho Cut, finish with Psychic and keep Rawk down on the floor.

[Blademaster]

What's a Psycho Cut?

[DarkestLight]

I never knew Medi to get Psycho Cut, but he does. Ha, that's funny.

Anyway, Blade..

Psycho Cut -PSY-The user uses its psychic powers to create a physical blade- like appendage which smacks the target with great force.

Yeap, itza there.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

It's Gallade's signature move.

Rawk throws a blob of toxic goop at Ise Nanao, or at least what he thought was Ise. Unfortunately, Ise pulled a specially made clone from hammer space, ready for this, and the toxic hits the substitute and does nothing. (Rawk: -6 EN | Ise Nanao: -6 EN, -20 HP | sub: 20 HP). With his attack wasted, Rawk goes on the offense and starts slashing at his opponent, his claw moving so fast it vanishes from sight. Ise responds in kind by slashing at Rawk with some sort of mind blade. (Rawk: -10 HP, -6 EN | Ise Nanao: -6 EN | sub: -10 HP) Rawk goes to jump, but Ise decides otherwise. As Rawk goes into the air, Ise knocks him back down and Rawk starts tumbling back to the ground. All is not lost, however, as he manages to pull a mid-air maneuver to skim past Ise on the way before tumbling into a wall. (Rawk: -6 HP, -8 EN | Ise Nanao: -10 EN | sub: -6 HP)

Psychic and crush it. Then Shadowball twice.

It it uses Dig or Bounce, just relax, then it when it comes back.

[Blademaster]

Use Bounce to smash that Substitute to bits and get high in the air, then come back down on Ise with Brave Bird. Then use Mirror Move to hurls a Shadow Ball right back at her.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Reminder.

Rawk starts off by jumping high into the sky, outside of Ise's sphere of psychic influence. (Ise Nanao: -10 EN). As Rawk goes for the landing, however, Ise throws a shadow ball. Rawk cringes in pain, but still manages to shatter the substitute. (Rawk: -8 HP, -8 EN | Ise: -10 EN | sub: gone) Ise throws off another Shadow Ball as Rawk charges straight through it, striking straight into Ise with no regard for his own safety. (Rawk: -14 HP, -10 EN | Ise: -18 HP, -10 EN)

......

I'd like to request that DarkestLight and Grey take over reffing for this battle. Chaos's style is very alien to me and he doesn't seem to take any regard for what the individual battlers request - not only did I lose a move, but MLG lost at least two due to his sub moves being ignored.

I will admit to not noticing MLG's sub, I was tired at the time, and I will take the blame for that. However, only one move was lost due to it, and you did not lose any moves except the one from trying to use bounce as a 1-turn attack, which is different to how it works in both the games and the ASB movelist.

Bounce - FLY -The user uses its own body to bounce or jump as high as possible, and landing on the opponent for good damage, depending on the Pokemon, height of jump, etc. This move takes two actions to complete.
Fatigue: Moderate/Good
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical

If there is any other confusion, please inform me. If you still wish for me to not ref, then I will step down.

[chaos_redefined]

Actually, I'm gonna take a break from reffing anyway. Grey or DL, can you guys continue this battle? My position in battling still stands, and I shall be using Spectre, my female Mismagius.

[DarkestLight]

*Yawn* I'll grab it. z.z. Grey goes next anyway and I'm sure not to get any points off this round. Post Blade.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I think a re-ref is in place then, DL.

[DarkestLight]

I'ma re ref it then since ya'll asked me to. But that's the thing. Blade said Bounce to break the sub. Then use brave bird while coming down. I understand why Chaos said that Bounce doesn't work that way, damaging on two turns. But since Bounce has been used before as an evasive move in this "minitourney" before, I see what you were trying to do Blade.

As you shall see...

Determined to keep this a close match, Rawk runs over to that crumbling doll thing Ise wasted its time in creating and latched onto it with its crusty feet talons. The Substitute was then used as a platform to kick from, shattering it as Rawk went sky high. Ise waited, not falling for that crap again.

Ise: +6E Sub: Poof===//=== RH: -4E

Now just really landing-having used Bounce in a reverse mechanism, Rawk enhances his fall by holding his ankles with his hands behind his back. In this position, he dropped like a stone. Ise saw the incoming and fired a Shadowball to deter him from his flight path.

No good. The Ball hit, but Rawk seared through the pain and nailed Ise in the shoulders with that dagger like drop. Crazy brave ass bird.

Ise: -8E/-18H ===//=== RH: -11E/-10H

Landing on ones knees like they're praying at a rosary was a painful ordeal. Rawk slowly stood up, but Ise ran over and personally delivered a Shadowball to Rawk's face. Rawk flipped in the air and landed on one knee, terribly stressed to not show anymore signs of weakness.
