What, I never battle! n_n

[Rossymore]

You've got me. I'll battle you with Ottern, my female Floatzel...cos I have very little basic Pokemon.

Begin with Rain Dance because I'm bored then strike the Piplup with Brick Break. Finish with a Slash.

Rain Dance ~ Brick Break ~ Slash

[The_Missing_Link]

Geez, forgot to include the arena. Shows how long it's been since I've battled -_- Lets make it simple and go with indigo plateau



Nero, while she uses rain dance, use ice beam on her feet to pin her to the ground. Then captivate her and while she's defenseless, use grass knot

Ice Beam~Captivate~Grass Knot

[DarkestLight]

It starts now! Whoo hoo!

===Round 1===

Rossy and Ottern are up against a familiar face. As TML makes her way tot eh stage, the applause track plays and she gets a awesome fanfare. And some of My pokemon move cutouts of various members since the place is actually dead today. Anyway, on with the match. Ottern dances about, as Newro makes himself seen. Nero enjoyes thedance, ands the water that falls from the heavens, mainly cause he's an evil lil guy who tries to freeze Ottern's feet. It works, but only on one leg. Still Ottern disagrees.

Nero: -8E ==///== Ott: -4E/-4H

Ottern turns to try and break his foot out-and gets a spark of inspiration. He bites his lip as the little Piplup dances around him, trying to be all cute and cuddly. Its working, but right now Ottern manages to fight the cuddly effects and slam Piplup right into the ground, next to his frozen leg. It cracks.

Nero: -2E/-7E ==///== Ott: -6E -2SpA

Nero now stays back, getting close for that Captivate hurt more than it should..Ottern tries to grab and Slash at the small penguin, but his leg still is stuck to the ground. Now out of range, Otterns Slash is useless. Specially when grassy vines wrap around Otterns torso and neck and pull him to the ground at a awkward angle, so it hurts his frozen leg to stay standing as he's being yanked back. EEEEvil penguin.

Good job, Neo. Use another grass knot then use agility to build up your speed. Finish it with a mud slap

I suck at going first.

Use Aqua Jet to get out of your frozen bit and get as high as you can. Then do a divebomb Brick Break. Finish up with Strength and throw the penguin far.

===Round 2===

Ottern feels that this is enough and summons water to shoot from his body and soar upward. The water strikes both the grass and ice and rips them to shreds...but as he breaks free and shoots up, he's immediately grabbed and slammed down to the earth again. Nero laughs.

Nero: -5E ==///== Ott: -3E/-10H

Nero then tries to equal out the speed factor, tobogganing around the arena like baby penguins do. Otterns rips free again and takes a flying leap. He dives and slams his fist into what should be Piplup, but its not. The danged Penguin was a bit faster than he anticipated.
'
Nero: -3E +2 Spd ==///== Ott: -7E

Satisfied, Nero stands up. Ottern takes the initiative and runs forward. Nero waits and then skids to the right, forcing some mud (from his tobaggening trailway) up and into Ottern's face. Ottern however doesn't quit and dives after, grabbing the unlucky penguin. With a Strong arm, he flings Nero pretty danged far.

Whoever gave Grass Knot to water types is an idiot!

Begin with Blizzard to freeze the floor and stop any more annoying grass moves then use Agility using the ice to speed you up then smack into it with a Focus Punch.

Fool!

[The_Missing_Link]

Lets try ice beam again on her to freeze her in place since she'll be too concerned about the arena. Then use a drill peck and then hydro pump to hurt her and push yourself away from her physical reach

===Round 3===
Seeing how the penguin might have an advantage, Ottern begins to cause a winter Blizzard in the surrounding vicinity. It begins to get hard to see and somewhere during that Blizzard Nero finds the time to fire off an Ice Beam at its epicenter. Ottern feels it, but keeps pressing on, until the majority of the floor is now ice.

Ottern looks at her andiwork and approves, until she notices that the ground has her feet trapped! STINKING NERO!

Nero: -8E/-5H ==///== Ott: -10E/-5H Frz


Stuck in place, Ottern sways back and forth. Maybe she'll be able to break free that way! Nero watches the Pokemon wobble back and forth and left and right with no real progress made. He tobaggons forward and glows blue. Hitting a lump/ramp he flies forward and..soars right over the stuck Ottern. That Agility came in handy right now, as she was able to dodge the incoming Drill Pek. Nero kept sliding for a good ways, but he's coming back around..

Nero: -5E ==///== Ott: -3E +2 Spd

Problem now. Ottern can't see where Nero is. She turns, and is met with a nasty blast of Water that knocks her straight to the ground. She fights to stand knowing that the ice might refreeze and pin her down. On the opposing side, Nero goes flying back all the way back to the uncovered section of the arena. Wowzers

Also, I think you may have forgotten that rain dance is still around

[DarkestLight]

Yeah her feet are still frozen :O. Edited to clarify that Rain Dance was still there.

[The_Missing_Link]

Alright, stay where you are and use supersonic. Then use a signal beam and icy wind

Supersonic~Signal Beam~Icy Wind

[The_Missing_Link]

[Rossymore]

Use Aqua Jet to get out of ther ice again and go high to dodge the Supersonic. Now, comvert your water into a Surf attack then freeze it with Icy Wind. Let's see how he likes it!

===Round 4===

The ice had puddles now, and the rain was letting up. That was good news for Ottern, even though the Penguin was already releasing a nasty sound. Forcing water to the ground, he managed to crack the ice before the SuperSonic totally engulfed him, and he ended up sliding to safety a few feet away.

Nero: -3E ==///== Ott: -5E

Not really confused, Ottern shakes his head to get the small bells to stop ringing. Nero stands his ground and charges up a red and blue diode, before firing them in criss cross fashion. Ottern is struck by this, and slides backwards. He however uses all the water that he slides across to force him forward, a smaller than natural Surf building. It gains speed and hits the Penguin, causing Nero to slide around.

Actually that looks like alot fo fun..

Nero: -6E/-5H ==///== Ott: -7E/-8H

With Both pokemon regained with their footing, each throws an arctic blast of wind at the other. Just ends up beingf a cold slushy mess on both of them.

===Round 5===

The arena still caked over with ice, Ottern decides that it's not enough. The little penguin is hindered greatly by an onslaught of ice crystals. It ravages him, but he fights through it.

Nero: -4E/-5H ==///== Ott: -10E

The Blizzard continues, and Nero shivers in place a lil bit too much., a retaliatory beam of energy is released and strikes the Blizzard master backwards and across the arena, speeding into a wall.

Nero: -4E/-5H ==///== Ott: -10E/-15H

Not one to quit something, even if its not working out too well, a Third Blizzard is released. Nero's had enough of it thugh and calls upon a grassy whip of sorts to strap all around Ottern and hold her down.

Kinda sucks, cause that last Blizzard froze him in place except for his head and one wing.

Well Nero, I guess the only thing you can do is fury attack your way out of the ice. Then relax for a bit then use grass knot again

Get back some energy until it breaks free. If it does break free, freeze it back again with Blizzard.

===Round 6===

Miffed by her predicament Nero began to whack at the the ice with her free flipper. The whapping became a furious repetitive motion, and the ice did begin to chip and shatter. Idly standing by was Ottern.

Nero: -5E Chipping.. ==///== Ott: +6E

Fury burned in Nero's eyes as he tried to peck adn whap his way to freedom. A large chunk fell off, exposing his torso, and theat gave him room to peck as well as chop. Soon the ice fell away, only for Nero to be blanketed by another Blizzard. He was not appreciative of this at all.

Nero: -5E/-5H ==///== Ott: -10E

Pooped, Ottern backs up, only to find the grassy area poking out from the receding ice sheet are out for blood and begin to choke her out. Not a good time to run out of energy.

Nice job Ottern, you managed to tire it out. Go Blockade my genderless Metang!

Begin with...ooh...so many moves...begin with Zen Headbutt then use Sandstorm. Finish with Bullet Punch then melt back into snad.

[The_Missing_Link]

I'm supposed to attack first, not you. I'll be nice though and let you redo your attacks

Since you have to relax the first two actions, Nero, use bubblebeam for the third

Ottern gone, out comes a Metang with a penchant for destruction. Nero looks at it idly. Until the white light begins to show. It shimmers and shines and Nero tries to make a hasty exit, but the Hyper Beam catches up and carries Nero the rest of the way. Into the wall that is.

Nero: -15H ==///== Blo: -12E

Needing a moment, Both Pokemon simply sit their respective area. Well, Nero really tries to come back to consciousness...

Nero: @_< ==///== Blo: La.

And then Blockade begins to spin. A flurry of ice flies up, and soon dirt joins it, creating a makeshift Sandstorm of sorts. However, the storm does its job and Nero's Bubblebeam is made very ineffective as the sand shred through the watery spheres, barely touching Blockade.

Blockade doesn't like this penguin very much, nor the fact that its still lying there, playing with what's left of the ice as it speeds around getting faster and faster with every pass..

Nero: +6E ==///== Blo: -3E +2 Spd

With the heightened speed, Nero really wasn't able to gear himself for the swift strike that blindsided him. He spun on his belly, letting loose his Supersonic omnidirectionally. The metallic bugger was hit by the sound, but showed no signs of stopping.

Nero: -3E/-4H ==///== Blo: -3E @_@

Yeah, that was it. can't stop won't stop. Blockade was one a speeding rampage. Luckily for Blockade, its lil speed caper of confusion threw it right in nero's Path, and the penguin was hit again by a second Bullet Punch. This time, Nero held onto the fist and went along for the ride. Energy collected within Nero; then blasted the face of Blockade with a massive Hydro Pump, stopping his speed brigade and sending Nero backwards like a rocket.

Still able to maneuver quite fast, Blockade shoots up over Nero, and commands the grass under they sands and water to strap the Penguin down. It works, but Nero is able to spot the blue disc, and nail it with a well aimed Water Pulse.

Nero: -4E/-8H ==///== Blo: -5E/-6H

Nero tries to wriggle free, but that's really not happening. Good thing for Nero actually. Even though he's ploughed by a Bullet Punch to his gut, Blockade is RIGHT there, and the second Water Pulse is a success. The confusion that was wearing down...kinda sped up again..

Nero: -3E/-4H ==///== Blo: -3E/-6H Cfn

Blockade was getting annoyed by this water game Nero was playing, and decides to try something new. He circles the penguin until Nero is unsure where in the blue ring is the actual Pokemons body.

Nero fires all he can into the area, but his attack misses. Blockade snickered as the ring of water flew harmlessly by. But the weird thing...what is Blockade doing? Just going in circles?
