    Lairon cut Stantler's sub to shreds. Then use a metal claw across its face and horns. End with stomp over its neck.

    Glalie use a bright flash across the arena to all our foes. Next use an blizzard on Electabuzz' legs and feet to keep it from moving. End with a crunch on Stantler's body.

    Granbull grab some bottles of vodka and use strength to smash them over Weezing. That fire of OzWeeze's will ignite the nearest flammable substance, which is the vodka covering its face! Next I want you to use brick break on Stantler and end with a thunderbolt on the hapless bambi.


    Deadalus (Lairon): Cut (Stantler/Sub) -- Metal Claw (Stantler: Face) -- Stomp (Stantler: Neck)

    Zygoma (Glalie): Flash (foes) -- Blizzard (Electabuzz: feet to the ground) -- Crunch (Stantler)

    Granville (Granbull): Strength (Vodka Bottles @ Weezing) -- Brick Break (Stantler, general body area) -- Thunderbolt (Stantler)




    This is fun!

    As I stated in the absence Tower, I'm having some difficulties, so reffings are slow. I'll update this week, promise.

    Sorry for doing this, but you're going to have to find a subref, since I can't ref for an unknown period of time. I will ref another match, when I'm back. Sorry.

    Please can we get someone to ref this? There isn't much left of the battle at all and it's been floating around for Three Months without a ref. It will be good pay and there isn't much work left to do!

    This is just a notice to anyone who wants to read this, really.

    Me and Andrew desperately need a ref who will be reffing about 4 rounds at the most. That's all. The match has not been reffed since before christmas and we'd like to see it through. I'd love to evolve my Lairon. It won't be too hard (I'm not giving overly confusing commands for one).

    I know there are a multitude of matches out there that need reffed. I also know that there are simple 1-1s that might be more appealing. But we're not going to be taking forever. And we would very much appeciate a ref.

    Thank you for reading.

    Energy: 27%
    - Lost.

    Granville (M)
    Health: 29% (capped)
    Energy: 25%
    - Feeling beaten.

    Floating away from OzStant's substitute, which now sports distinct bite marks, Zygoma glares around at his opponents with his great, luminous eyes. Their alien gaze intensifies unnaturally until they expel a brilliant pulse of light that temporarily lights up the club's dim interior in stark black and white. OzStant, shielded by the remains of his substitute, is able to escape the flash's effects, but both OzWheez and OzBuzz, its other targets, feel the attack acutely. The electabuzz, who had already started toward Deadalus, eager to perform his own attack, staggers and reels as he is temporarily blinded by the unexpected assault on his eyes. Growling beneath his breath, he pauses for a moment, rubbing at his watering eyes, and peers around, trying to spot his opponent through a haze of multicolored afterimages. He has little luck, but at last sees what he thinks is Deadalus, a low, dark blur huddling near the corner of his destroyed vision. Letting out a rasping battlecry, the electabuzz charges towards his target, eager to have a direction for his attack at last. His elation turns to dismay, however, as his powerful double downward chop ends with a mighty splintering of wood rather than a clang of metal. In his blinded state, OzBuzz finds he has inadvertently attacked a bar stool that had become upended in the commotion and was lying, forgotten, on the floor.

    While his opponents are stunned, Granville vaults over the bar and drops down behind, rummaging around in search of the vodka. The clinking and commotion attracts the attention of OzWheez, and although the duo of poisonous entities have been severely hampered by their temporary blindness, they stop their reeling and tentatively begin to float in the direction of the noise, blinking fiercely and trying to bring the scene into focus. OzStant, meanwhile, feels none of the effects of the flash, and closes his eyes, summoning his otherworldly powers. Rocking his head gently back and forth, he lets air rush through his proud antlers, their distortive properties causing the eerie wind to hum and sing with paranormal power. The warping stream of energy shoots true and engulfs Granville where he skulks behind the bar, temporarily throwing off his perception and causing him no end of trouble. The granbull snarls out a curse as he bangs his head hard against the edge of the bar, a result of his disoriented state. The world around him seems to ripple and warp as the extrasensory swirls around him, making him feel nauseated and weak. A powerful headach throbs in his brain, and Granville puts a hand to his temples, growling lowly as he shuts his eyes tightly and waits for the attack to stop. Slowly, the extransensory fades away, leaving the world returned to normal and his headache receded to nothing more than a dull throb, and Granville opens his eyes again and hastily goes back to his task, working with even more speed than before as he sees OzWheez floating uncertainly towards him.

    While OzStant is absorbed in channeling his extrasensory power, Deadalus creeps up on him as well as he can despite his being a heavily armored, ungainly lizard. As the normal-type opens his eyes again, attack complete, Deadalus lunges with a snarl, raking his claws savagely through what remains of the stantler's false avatar. The unfeeling creature explodes into a haze of shimmering energy, leaving Deadalus to glare beadily at the genuine article and scrape one foot against the floorboards meaningfully.

    At last, OzWheez thinks she's managed to spot her target and, summoning up some of the sludge permeating her body with a horrible gurgling noise, spits a foul chunk of concentrated toxin at Granville. Unfortunately, her aim is badly hampered by the flash, and the sludge bomb flies over the granbull's head, slamming instead into the rack of bottles behind him and exploding, sending booze, glass, and foul sludge everywhere. Granville barely manages to avoid the attack, leaping to the side and scrambling swiftly over the bar again, awkwardly holding two bottles of vodka in each paw. With a yell, he leaps up and brings all four slamming down onto a startled OzWheez. They shatter, shards of glass ripping into the poison-type's delicate skin and stinging alcohol cascading down her face. With a disoriented bellow, the weezing reels away, shaking herself madly back and forth, spraying vodka and bits of bottle in all directions.

    By this time, Zygoma has stalked after OzBuzz, his power over ice allowing him to lower the temperature of the air around him by several degrees. Snow and ice crystallizes out of thin air, water vapor flash-freezing as the glalie passes, and when Zygoma opens his disproportionate mouth, eyes flashing a chilly blue, it is to unleash a howling gale of concentrated winter fury. Surprised and still not restored to top form, OzBuzz is unable to avoid the attack and is caught up in the harsh blizzard. Pelted with snow and ice, his skin burns with the awful cold even beneath his thin fur, and he helplessly throws his paws up in front of his face in a vain attempt to defend himself against the remorseless blizzard. Most of the attack's power is directed at his feet, and here ice cakes heavily onto his body, snow whirling all around and scattering across the nearby floor. When Zygoma's mouth shuts again with a decisive click, OzBuzz finds himself hopelessly frozen to the floor, feet stuck down firmly. It's fortunate, then, that his next attack doesn't require movement to execute, and that his opponent has made himself so obvious, impossible to miss even in OzBuzz's condition. Electricity jags and arcs between the knobs on OzBuzz's head, then leaps forward with a snarl and a crackle as the electric-type hurls a mighty thunderbolt in Zygoma's direction. The hit his good, and Zygoma lets out a shrieking hiss as the powerful charge rips through his body, causing him to retreat hastily, bobbing uncertainly in the air as he attempts to regain control of himself despite the searing pain and the involuntary twitching of his muscles.

    With a disdainful snort, OzStant looks away from Deadalus and concentrates instead on the rack of bottles behind the bar. The bulbs on his antlers glow a bright blue, and a similar blue aura sketches itself around the alcohol, several bottles rising eerily from their shelves and floating gently over behind Zygoma. The glalie, beginning to recover, shakes his body back and forth, gnashing his teeth angrily, then suddenly finds himself beset by a swarm of alcoholic beverages. The bottles hurl themselves at the glalie with no regard for their own safety, and many shatter, spilling their guts onto the surprised ice-type and embedding bits of their glass shells into the Zygoma's icy body. The others just pound Zygoma with jolly abandon, leaving him bruised and confused as the bottles abruptly fall the floor and shatter. His deliverance is courtesy of Deadalus who, irritated by OzStant's apparent disregard for his power, makes a lunge for the stantler, reaching out with a powerful claw and swiping for the normal-type's face. Unfortunately, the stantler is much taller than him, and with his stubby legs it's hard to reach, but it matters little--the metal claw instead bites deep into OzStant's neck. The stantler drops his psychic attack immediately and screams as Deadalus rips a massive hole in his neck, claws grating against vertebrae and blood flowing messily as the steel-type follows through.

    Ozwheez is quick to retaliate, spinning in place and firing a hastily-generated flamethrower Deadalus' way. The peripheral heat ignites the vodka on the poison-type's face, but the reciprocal burning she receives is nothing compared to what Deadalus is made to endure. The flamethrower washes across the lairon's armored back, turning steel plating red-hot and blistering. Gritting his teeth, the rock-type rides out the attack stoically. Granville charges past him as the flames die away, leaving OzWheez to spin away again, hissing with pain as her faces smoke gently, and reaches out to deal a shattering blow to the side of an already-wavering OzStant. The powerful blow knocks the breath out of the stantler's body and is followed up by two more in quick succession, enough to send OzStant to his knees under the power of the attack.

    Zygoma decides to delay revenge on OzBuzz and instead join the merciless attack on OzStant. Swooping down, the imposing creature seizes OzStant's shoulder in its teeth and bites down viciously hard, black streamers of dark energy bubbling out around his jaws as he bites down still more viciously. Burning dark energy is forced deep into OzStant's system as the normal-type thrashes around in pain, lashing out wildly with his hooves but failing to strike anything. At last, however, the pain is too much for him, and he slumps over unconscious, leaving Zygoma to let go and float away again, bad-temperedly spitting out blood tainted with streaks of black as he goes. OzWheez isn't about to let him go so easily, however, and this time the flamethrower is aimed in his direction. The glalie's icy body goes up with a whoosh and a crackle as the alcohol drenching his icy armor ignites. Letting out another one of his eerie shrieks, the glalie blunders around blindly in his pain, banging against the bar and nearly colliding with Granville as the flames eat away at his icy armor. When at last they start to die back, the glalie drips as he floats along, although this time the fluid he sheds is not alcohol but instead ordinary water as his icy shell melts away.

    Granville and Deadalus look at one another, puzzled. OzStant has already been recalled to his pokéball, leaving the both of them without at target. A hurried conference ensues, and then the both of them start off in opposite directions. Granville rubs his paws together eagerly, staring down a rather scorched OzWheez with anticipation. Electricity starts to fizz and spark in the air around him, running through his short fur and causing it to stand on end as it goes. With a gruff bark, he throws his paws out towards his new target, OzWheez, a massive stream of electricity running out from between his palms and coiling hungrily about the poison-type. Totally surprised, OzWheez lets out a strangled cry as the furious electric bolt races across her nerves, causing intense pain and making her muscles to spasm horribly. Wobbling and jerking through the air with a complete lack of coordination, the weezing retreats as best she can, in her pain thinking only to get away from her assailant.

    There is no such escape available for OzBuzz, however. He has long been working on pulling himself free of the ice, and numerous pops and crunches sound from within the prison about his feet as he tugs with all his might, trying to tear one of his legs free. His struggles redouble as he observes Deadalus stalking towards him, plated body gleaming multicolord with refracted light from the dance floor. Though the ice is not terribly thick and OzBuzz is making good progress, there is no way he can hope to break free before the lairon is upon him. With a rush and a bound, the rock-type brings his foot slamming down square over the lightning pattern on OzBuzz's chest, slamming him back into the floor. Both his feet are ripped free of the ice with a rending crunch, shards of ice and a light drifting of snow flying in all directions as lairon and electabuzz hit the floor and skid back a bit, OzBuzz's ribs creaking with the force of Deadalus' foot on his chest. Although winded, the electric-type is quick to recover. Mustering up all the energy he can manage, he forces it into one of his fists. His target is right in front of him now--there's no way he can miss. Although his eyes are still slightly fogged from the flash attack, OzBuzz confidently draws back his right arm, a scintillating nimbus of fighting energy surrounding it even as he does. It takes everything OzBuzz has, but he summons up a huge upwelling of power from deep within himself and, with a mighty roar, lets loose an incredible punch straight into Deadalus' face. The lairon is actually lifted up and off OzBuzz's chest with the force of the blow, and he goes flying away to land on his back with a crash of steel plates and a small tremor. Cracks now spread across his faceplate, and his head rings with unbearable pain, causing him to moan and kick vaguely at the air. OzBuzz is little better off, however; panting, he slumps back against the floor, unable to rise. The room seems to spin around him, and darkness crowds in at the edges of his vision--extreme exhaustion is taking its toll upon the electric-type, and it's all that he can do to concentrate on listening for orders from his trainer.

    Terrain Notes
    Broken glass litters the floor, making it treacherous to those who don't float.

    Final Notes
    - The effects of flash have worn off.
    - Granville and Deadalus redirected their attacks when OzStant fainted.
    - OzBuzz was not frozen securely enough to prevent his escape, although he was forced to move last as a result of trying to pull himself free of it.
    - Let complaining commence... now!
    - Chris 2.0 attacks first next round.

    Like...wow. Negrek that was a fantastic reffing and you did it with 100% dedication. You didn't rush, you rrally emphasised everything going on and I understand we are making this very complicated! So thank you.

    Now...how to try and win this.

    *

    Zygoma, use double team. Next use ice beam on Electabuzz; our aim is to encase him in ice just a little bit so that he'll have to use up energy to break out. Do that twice.

    Double Team -- Ice Beam x2 (Electabuzz)



    Granbull, you're weak. Double team to give yourself more time, then use Shock wave x2 at Weezing.

    Double Team -- Shock Wave x2 (Weezing)



    Daedalus you're doing ok. Use endeavour on Electabuzz. Next use water pulse on Weezing and follow up with a shock wave.

    Endeavor (Electabuzz) -- Water Pulse (Weezing) -- Shock Wave (Weezing)

    Zygoma, icy armor still slick with water melted out of his hide after OzWheez's fire blast, hovers eerily over to the edge of the arena, seeking out a relatively clear place to perform his next attack. Grabbing a chair in his massive teeth and dragging it out of the way, the glalie floats out into the open space he has created. Focusing briefly, the ice demon begins to zoom back and forth around the clearing at an increasingly rapid pace, swerving dangerously away from tables on the outskirts of his path and stirring a wake so powerful that it sends rubbish skittering across the floor below. As he goes, Zygoma's form warps and blurs, splitting up from one to three as what are initially just hazy shadows emerge from his body and zip after him. By the time the glalie slows to a halt, however, the illusions have taken on the exact appearance of their creator, six luminous blue eyes staring impassively out at the arena before them. Though the unemotive glalie shows few outward signs of fatigue, his floating path is somewhat erratic and, despite himself, he pants just a bit--fatigue is beginning to overwhelm the great icy beast.

    OzBuzz, too, is suffering from exhaustion but, fortuantely, his trainer has given him a break for this round. The electabuzz is perfectly content to lie back and relax according to orders, trying to catch his breath and recollect his scattered thoughts even as he regains energy. Staring blankly up at the series with slightly glazed eyes, OzBuzz fails to notice as Deadalus slowly begins to rise, the lairon's movements groggy and uncoordinated as he attempts to recover from the heavy blow to his head.

    OzWheez, meanwhile, still has her eyes set on Zygoma, and she's less than amused by the glalie's little multiplying trick. The wheezing's two heads mutter to one another as the electrical impulses zipping along their nerves are redirected outwards so that tracers of electricity crawl along the outside of their flimsy purple skin. Setting her sights on Zygoma, Ozwheez releases the shock wave with a crackling hiss, long tendrils of electricity lancing out and branching out in all directions, some stabbing right through Zygoma's clones while others wrap themselves around the glalie himself. Letting out an involuntary hiss, Zygoma closes his eyes and trembles, bobbing up and down in the air as the electricity rips through his system, causing excruciating pain and temporarily interrupting the normal function of his muscles.

    Deadalus by this point has regained his feet, although his wits have apparently not yet been restored. The lairon looks around vaguely with unfocused eyes, stumbling as he noses among the tables in search of OzBuzz. Eventually perceiving a blurry yellow shape that he perceives to be his opponent, he lets out a garbled screech and charges clumsily forward, nearly tripping and falling on his way to the fight. He makes it, however, without harm, and attacks Ozbuzz with a will, making the electric-type feel his pain in the most violent of fashions. OzBuzz, still weak and wanting nothing more than to lie still and regain his strength, can do little more than feebly raise his arms in an attempt to shield himself from the lairon's crushing stomps and vicious headbutts, but it is largely a futile gesture. At last, Deadalus shoves the electabuzz away with a disdainful snort, and OzBuzz lies uncomplainingly where he lands, now bruised and aching in addition to lightheaded and dizzy from fatigue.

    Despite the failure of Zygoma's clones, Granville is ready to give a double team attack of his own a shot. The stocky granbull, too, is growing tired, but nevertheless he hustles as much as his short legs will allow, jogging determinedly around and around the table, forcing himself to travel ever faster until at last, like Zygoma before him, he is able to conjure two illusionary granbull out of midair to shadow him and mimic his every move. This accomplished, he is forced to collapse against a chair, clutching it tightly as he wheezes and pants for breath, his clones following suit, though their insubstantial breathing makes no sound.

    Zygoma, still twitching now and then from the aftereffects of shock wave, readies herself for one final attack. Weakened by fire and by producing many spectacular attacks this battle, the glalie recognizes that he will not have the strength to go on past this round. Indeed, it all he can do to muster a weak burst of icy power, enough to send a brief stab of burning blue light at OzBuzz, striking the electric-type in the back and leaving behind a small patch of ice. Though the electabuzz twitches and groans in response, it is Zygoma who pays the higher price for the attack--with a brief sigh, the glalie closes his eyes and sinks inexorably through the air as he can no longer summon the power to stay afloat. Settling gently to the floor, he rolls over on his side and ceases to move, overcome by exhaustion.

    OzBuzz rolls over, beginning to feel more energized now, and scratches irritably at the thin slick of ice that clings to his back, its burning cold disrupting his rest. Although feeling considerably better already and beginning to gain the urge to fight again, he still has no objections to taking it slow for now and just leans up against the bar, picking awkwardly at the icy patch on his back and watching the other battlers with interest.

    OzWheez watches with delighted surprise as her intended target crumples before her and has to be recalled. While somewhat disappointed that he wasn't given the opportunity to finish the glalie off the proper way, the wheezing isn't about to gripe about such a boon as this. She swivels slowly around, considering which of her opponents to attack. The granbull, with his clones, doesn't seem a very appealing target, so with malicious glee, the poison-type turns her attention to what is undoubtedly the weaker of the two--Deadalus, who is still stumbling about drunkenly. Noxious liquids bubble and simmer within the weezing as awful chemical reactions occur, and as she opens her mouth to let out a cloud of extremely poisonous gas, it goes up with a whoosh into a huge ball of flame and rockets straight towards its armored target.

    Totally unprepared and still awfully confused, Deadalus lets out an awful shriek as the fire blast slams into him, heating his armor up to an unbearable temperature such that it starts to blister and bubble, trickles of molten metal splattering against his rocky skin. As much from instinct as recalling his order, the lairon spews a spiralling jet of water from his mouth and straight back towards the source of the flame, cutting through what remains of the fire blast with a hiss and a puff of steam. OzWheez, caught by surprise, is struck solidly and spun around by the surprisingly powerful water pulse, wobbling around uncertainly as she tries to shake off dizziness, not to mention the remainder of the water in which she's been drenched.

    Granville, meanwhile, is barely aware of what's going on around him and totally oblivious to the fact that he only narrowly escaped having the fire blast turned against him. Still gripping the chair in one paw to steady himself, he raises the other shakily towards OzWheez, who is still in a daze from the water pulse. Summoning the last of his energy, he causes electricity to snap and dance around his stubby claws and, even as he loses consciousness, releases the erratic, albeit weak, shock wave in all directions, sending snarling tendrils of power outward to scorch the floor, the tables, and of course their actual target, OzWheez. The poison-type derives little pleasure from the way that Granville slumps limply to the ground in a cold fate, embraced as she is by the uncomfortable electricity. The water coating her body only worsens the electricity's effect, and she shudders helplessly as the burning lightning stabs at her repeatedly. Though it might be weakened, the shock wave is still quite painful.

    Out of all the battlers on the field, OzBuzz is currently the only one who seems to be feeling at all well. By now he is feeling quite well-rested, and he stands up to stretch, watching the fall of Granville with grim satisfaction and enjoying the discomfort of Deadalus as he bucks and roars ineffectively, cooked in his own armor. Idling around with nothing in particular to do, the electabuzz hops up onto a bar stool and sits there casually, contemplating raiding the bar's stock while the other participants in the battle are occupied.

    Unfortunately, his partner is not currently is not feeling similarly relaxed. Like Zygoma and Granville before her, the weezing is combating intense fatigue, especially after her last fire blast. She isn't even sure that she'll be able to produce the devastating attack again as commanded, but is willing at least to try--though it will undoubtedly cost the remainder of her energy. Wearily, she generates noxious chemical reactions within her body, building up highly flammable gases and releasing them in another burst of rapid combustion. Though the fire blast is noticeably weaker than the one that preceded it, Deadalus hardly cares--he merely shrieks and redoubles his thrashing as another wave of searing heat washes over him, charring his thick hide even more thoroughly than before and further attacking his already damaged armor. While OzWheez behind him deflates with an unflattering noise and a cloud of vile gas, his opponent's defeat is cold comfort to Deadalus. Even as the flames die away, he is maddened by painand only barely clinging to conciousness--and this itself is somewhat questionable, thanks to the heavy blow to the head he recently received.

    His head throbbing mightily, every inch of his body seared and deathly numb from his severe burns, Deadalus weakly tries to take on his foe. His eyes don't seem to focus properly and, maddened by pain and totally confused, he charges at random with a last shriek, hoping to make contact with his foe. OzBuzz winces sympathetically as the lairon crashes headfirst into the bar nearby, slamming straight through it in a shower of splinters as the force of his attack carries him straight through. Although the lairon twitches a couple more times, he soon falls still, knocked out by his own attack. OzBuzz smirks and leans casually against the bar, awaiting praise for his anticlimactic victory.

    Final Notes
    - Zygoma's ice beam, Granville's shock wave, and OzWheez's second fire blast were all reduced in power because they were unable to pay the usual energy cost associated with the attack.
    - Deadalus was actually knocked out by his burn, which was worsened by the fire blasts (although it would have knocked him out at 4% damage anyway). He would have survived if he had not dealt himself 1% damage as a result of confusion in the final action.
    - Too lazy to proofread this; apologies for errors.
    - Andrew wins 6 points; Chris gets 3.
