[Wolfsong]

Sound good to me. It should be interesting...

[DarkestLight]

K. I'll bite since Ay is not jumping at the seams, but didn't you already battle Ay? So I guess it would make sense to battle moi.

You know my Gym.

I release, you release and attack, I attack.

I will start with Ha-ohmaru again. :/ Would you mind a 4 on 4, since I know your craftiness knows no bounds....

[Wolfsong]

‡ Round 1 ‡

Good day, ladies and gents, and welcome to the Temple of the Yoroi! Now that the temple janitors have cleaned up after DL's last battle and the place no longer smells like a barbecue pit, we're ready for another bout of rough-and-temple fisticuffs to take place. Today, Wolfsong will be taking on the Gym Leader for a chance to nab his Kikeiokfkieiaiaiaiaiaiakotai Badge. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will end up vomiting in sheer excitement? (Probably, uh, neither.)

Either way, let the games begin!

DL releases first, summoning his go-to Gallade back into battle, which Wolfsong counters with a Dusknoir. Lotsa those guys have been popping up lately. Either way, Ha-ohmaru begins by tossing up a white veil that drapes itself around his body and offers him protection. Huzzah! Of course, it doesn't do a whole lot of good against the Icy Wind that starts whipping through the pagoda thanks to Clavo. Ha-ohmaru's body feels a little on the numb side as his mobility takes a hit.

Ha-ohmaru: <-6 HP; -6 EP; Sgd; -1 Spd>
Clavo Cruz: <-4 EP>

Though he's a little slower than he was mere moments prior, Ha-ohmaru still outpaces Mr. Cruz. He snaps his fingers and conjures up a crude imitation of a Gallade that looks next to nothing like Ha-ohmaru but, hey, Clavo is fooled. She blasts the little fake Gallade with a Confuse Ray and it does a whole lot of nothing.

Ha-ohmaru: <-10 HP; -6 EP; Sub: 10 HP>
Clavo Cruz: <-4 EP>

Shenanigans continue as Ha-ohmaru whips up a crackly ball of shadowy delight that bursts against Clavo's ample gut. Yowchies. Grimacing, Clavo Cruz wiggles his hands around and causes the Gallade Substitute to rise up off the ground. It spins around in the air before crashing down, almost broken. Keyword: almost.

‡ Round 2 ‡

The second round gets underway as Ha-ohmaru begins pirouetting and leaping about like some kind of manic gazelle thing. As his offensive prowess rises, Clavo Cruz does a spin on the spot and creates four clonie-clones to keep him company. The five Ghosts give one another high-fives. Um, can you say recreational bowling league? Hells yes!

Ha-ohmaru: <-6 EP; +2 Att; Sub: 1 HP>
Clavo Cruz: <-4 EP; 4 clones>

Let the clone smackdown begin. Ha-ohmaru prances toward the nearest Dusknoir and slices and/or dices right through the illusory Dusknoir. Clavo, meanwhile, kicks up one hell of a blast of wind that throws the Gallade Substitute clear out the window. If you listen closely, I think you can hear its remains getting chewed on by a mountain goat.

Ha-ohmaru: <-7 EP; Sub: Broken!>
Clavo Cruz: <-4 EP; 3 clones>

Ha-ohmaru picks up a nearby glob of mud (fire those temple janitors, stat) and whips it at... yeppers, another clone. Offering some choice curse words I don't care to repeat here, Ha-ohmaru is left vulnerable to Clavo's final attack of the round: Shadow Ball! The swirling black wall wallops him in the gut and leaves him doubled over in pain. Shenanigans.

Ha-ohmaru: <-14 HP; -5 EP>
Clavo Cruz: <-6 EP; 2 clones>

Okay Clavo, now start things off with psych up. Follow that up with anohter ominous wind and finish with Charge Beam.

[DarkestLight]

Hrm. Tempting. I'll let you have that. Shock Wave~Night Slash

If there is an evident gain of prowess after Ominous Wind, then Psych Up. Otherwise, Night Slash again.

‡ Pre-Round ‡


‡ Round 3 ‡

As the battle continues, Ha-ohmaru waves bye-bye to Clavo Cruz's clones. His Shock Wave, unable to miss its target, beelines right toward Clavo and electrocutes him thoroughly. His clones pop out of existence. Shaking off that bout of high-voltage, Clavo begins to study Ha-ohmaru's stat boosts and decides to mimic them for himself. Presto, change-o: we have one reasonably souped up Dusknoir on our hands.

Ha-ohmaru: <-6 EP>
Clavo Cruz: <-6 HP; -4 EP; +2 Att; 0 clones>

It's time for Ha-ohmaru to do what Ha-ohmaru does best. Like Satan's Slap Chop, Ha-ohmaru slices 'n' dices through Clavo Cruz. Clavo then chooses not to use his sexy new Attack boost and instead blasts Ha-ohmaru with a bout of Ominous Wind. Somebody needs to do something about this drafty friggin' craphole temple.

Ha-ohmaru: <-11 HP; -7 EP>
Clavo Cruz: <-13 HP; -4 EP>

Satan's Slap Chop, redux: Ha-ohmaru yet again cuts into Clavo (once for big chunks for stew, twice for homefries in a second) as the Dusknoir begins to glow like a big ol' freaky Christmas Tree. He then releases a Charge Beam that fries up Clavo. The Ghost begins to feel even stronger.

And with that, both competitors are tied in terms of health. Egads!

Ha-ohmaru: <-5 HP; -7 EP>
Clavo Cruz: <-13 HP; -3 EP; +1 SpA>

Notes:

[DarkestLight]

Well. We got ourselves a stalemate and its only the first set of battlers. This is gonna be an insane battle.

Ha-oh. Start with a Shadow Sneak, then a Psycho Cut. Follow up with a ..Charge Beam of your own.

[Wolfsong]

Now that teh safeguard has faded hit him with a will-o-wisp. Follow that up with Hex. Finally, finish with a shadow punch.

[Oslo]

I forgot to take STAB into account during the last round with Clavo's Ominous Wind, so Ha-ohmaru's health has been corrected. No more stalemate, unfortunately!

‡ Round 4 ‡

The next round begins and Ha-ohmaru is... gone? Has the little fighter gone AWOL? If he has, he makes a u-turn decision pretty quickly and reappears beside Clavo before lashing out with Ghost-type energy. Protected no longer by a Safeguard, Ha-ohmaru is vulnerable to what comes next. Clavo begins laughing darkly and blows out a tiny, guttering flame that sears Ha-ohmaru's face with a Burn. Bet he wishes he had gone AWOL.

Ha-ohmaru: <-4 EP; Brn>
Clavo Cruz: <-8 HP; -4 EP>

Ever the graceful little samurai, Ha-ohmaru sashays and does a rapid pirouette that ends with his scythe tearing into Clavo Cruz. The attack does critical damage, causing Clavo to pout. Dance recitals almost certainly should not end in violence. The Ghost then utters a few words in some ancient tongue that cause Ha-ohmaru to fall down and twitch with pain. Hexes, man. That shit's nuts.

Ha-ohmaru: <-18 HP; -7 EP>
Clavo Cruz: <-15 HP crit; -8 EP>

It's Ha-ohmaru's turn to get all bright and Christmas Tree-y. He shoots off a concentrated electrical charge that zaps Clavo Cruz and results in a stat boost on Ha-ohmaru's part. The round ends as Clavo comes in for a super-accurate punch to Ha-ohmaru's face. Damn it! Why is it always the face?

Ha-ohmaru: <-13 HP; -5 EP; +1 SpA>
Clavo Cruz: <-5 HP; -4 EP>

Ha-ohmaru suffers thanks to that pesky Burn <-3 HP>.

‡ Round 5 ‡

With both opponents having lost approximately three-quarters of their total health, it's still anybody's match. Clavo begins by blending in with the arena's shadows as he invisibly sneaks toward Ha-ohmaru... and lays a little bit of Ghostie smackdown! Ha-ohmaru takes the hit to the gut and falls before hurling a shadowy ball of shadows at Clavo. The spirit lets out a pained wail and threatens to put a curse on Ha-ohmaru and his children, and his children's children... for three months.

Ha-ohmaru: <-10 HP; -8 EP>
Clavo Cruz: <-13 HP; -2 EP>

Ha-ohmaru once again slips into shadows and, when he reappears, he makes Clavo eat his words. With a kick and a punch and a headbutt and a knee to the Ghostie groin, he fells his Dusknoir sparring partner...

Ha-ohmaru: <-11 EP>
Clavo Cruz: <-15 HP>

...and then suffers a lil bit from the Burn. <-2 HP>.

‡ Round 6 ‡

The challenger's trusty Dusknoir returns to its Pokeball after a good battle. Wolfsong contemplates her next choice only briefly before sending a new scary-ass Pogey into play: a Hydreigon! Good choice, my friend. Those things are bad to the ass. In an astute display of its badassery, Nick... throws up a Protect! An, um, especially cool and badass Protect! Yeah! Ha-ohmaru tells Nick that he looks like an emo salamander holding sock puppets, but Nick of course cannot hear this thanks to the badass power of Protect.

Ha-ohmaru: <-4 EP>
Nick: <-8 EP>

Nick turns the tables on Ha-ohmaru and makes fun of his peculiar waistline. Hey, oval butt! Didja swallow a watermelon whole or something? For whatever reason, this bizarre Taunt really gets at Ha-ohmaru. He forgets all about the Destiny Bond he was told to conjure up and instead starts blasting Nick with a wide cone of electricity. Of course, Nick's convenient typing allows him to resist the move, so it doesn't do a whole lot.

Ha-ohmaru: <-3 EP; Tnt>
Nick: <-4 HP; -4 EP>

As Ha-ohmaru wipes the sweat from his brow, Nick finishes the things by attacking with a series of random airborne strikes. They hit one after another and prove to be too much to handle: Ha-ohmaru finally goes down after a strong fight. Nick nods courteously and wishes his opponent good luck sorting out his watermelon butt problem.

‡ Pre-Round ‡


‡ Round 7 ‡

The Gym Leader recalls his rough-and-tumble Gallade before summoning another Pokemon to the field. Red light fills the pagoda as a cherubic creature emerges from her Pokeball with spread wings. Nick takes aim at the soaring Togekiss by firing three beams—one of fire, one of electricity and one of ice—at the creature. She tries to erect a Safeguard, but isn't fast enough; the beams collide with her and send her into an uncontrollable tailspin. She manages to spin out of it and save the landing as she gracefully touches down on the ground. Waiting to make sure that no Status effects have been caused by that tricky Tri-Attack, Kys tosses up a glowing white veil that drapes itself around her body protectively.

Kys-o-deth: <-8 HP; -4 EP; Sgd>
Nick: <-6 EP>

Nick's body takes on a rugged, rocky coating as he glides toward Kys and barrels into her. However, the Togekiss uses her wings to slow down the sudden assault and then, in an impressive feat of strength, vaults Nick right into one of the suits of armour for super effective damage! He lands on the ground in a crumpled head. That. Fuggin'. Hurt.

Kys-o-deth: <-13 HP; -8 EP>
Nick: <-30 HP; -8 EP>

Nick pulls himself up after that devastating blow and breaths a narrow stream of bluish energy all over Kys. The Togetic takes the hit and shows that she's not impressed by letting out a single Yawn. A tiny bubble of air wafts toward Nick and bursts against him, inducing immediate fatigue.

‡ Pre-Round ‡


‡ Round 8 ‡

The tight race between Kys and Nick keeps on going as Nick, growing increasingly weary, attempts to rouse himself with a combined Substitute/Hyper Voice maneuver. Like a screaming toddler performing macabre arts and crafts, Nick releases a series of powerful sound waves while building a Hydreigon Substitute in his likeness. Voila! Kys, meanwhile, pounds out a powerful energy-based tackle that all but decimates the Substitute.

And with that, Nick teeters over and falls asleep.

Kys-o-deth: <-9 HP; -5 EP>
Nick: <-10 HP; -11 EP; Slp; Sub: 1 HP>

Sleeping, Nick lets out a ferocious roar that causes slight tremors to cause the earth to ripple. Suddenly, a colossal meteor rips through the pagoda's ceiling (DL will be mailing you an invoice for that one, Wolfsong) and pins Kys to the floor. Yowchies. The Togekiss wriggles free and begins plotting her revenge. It will be... glorious...

Kys-o-deth: <-16 HP; -4 EP; +2 SpA>
Nick: <-12 EP; -2 SpA; Sub: 1 HP>

Kys whips up a crackling ball of Aura that she whips against Nick's beleaguered Substitute. Thing goes boom.

‡ Round 9 ‡

We begin as Nick rises and shineses. After a month and a half of sleeping, the big ol' Dragon finally decided to wake up. The ferocious brute beats his tail against the ground aggressively as he commands a fleet of rocks to shoot down from the heavens (or ceiling, or whatever). Boulder after boulder collides with poor little Kys and pin the cherub to the ground. Wah-wah.

Kys-o-deth: <-12 HP; Fln>
Nick: <-6 EP; Slp no more>

Kys wriggles free from her boulder and lets Nick have it with a Super Peeved Glare attack, which does nothing, of course. Unfazed, Nick raises one of his little mouth-hands and shoots off a gleaming ray of supercharged energy. The beam connects and restores Nick's ranged prowess a tad, which only irks Kys further. Deciding it's time to really strike, she releases a sphere of focused mental energy which flawlessly smacks its target right in its gut. Kys tosses her head in a cascade of sparkling plumes. She's got style, she's got grace.

Kys-o-deth: <-6 HP; -7 EP>
Nick: <-16 HP; -3 EP; +1 SpA>

Kys gets to relive an extra special moment of her recent past as another load of boulders smack her relentlessly. She's smushed again but only briefly. This time, the Togekiss maintains her concentration and slides free from her pin in time to zip toward her foe and clobber him right in the gut (always the gut) with a Drain Punch. Y'know, using one of her fists. Because she has those. Absolutely.

‡ Round 10 ‡

The heated battle gets even heateder as Kys nosedives toward Nick with one of her wings balled up in an awkward fist-ish thing. At the last second, Nick raises a translucent barrier that Protects himself entirely from the Drain Punch. Kys collides like a pigeon into a really, really clean window and bounces off hopelessly. Friggin' Windex.

At that moment, Kys's Safeguard winks out.

Kys-o-deth: <-6 EP; Sgd no more>
Nick: <-8 EP>

Nick's body suddenly become hard and heavy like stone as he swoops toward Kys and tackles her relentlessly. Chirping wearily, Kys pulls herself back up and uses Silver Wind... which is actually super-secret Oslo code for COUNTER. She hoists the gargantuan dragon over her head, lets out a terrific roar (holycrap, you don't wanna hear a Togekiss roar; thing is a BEAST) and then tosses him into a nearby wall-shaped object. And it hurts. A lot.

Kys-o-deth: <-13 HP; -8 EP>
Nick: <-26 HP; -8 EP>

Though his foe is so close to defeat, Nick decides to ease up on the gas and Thunder Wave his ailing foe instead of attacking. He releases a heavy charge of electricity that overcomes Kys and renders her body stiff and rigid. However, she's not so encumbered that she can't attack with one final Aura Sphere. Conjuring a mass of chi energy with a flick of her feathers, Kys hurls the Aura Sphere toward Nick who is promptly thrown into a suit of armour. He's defeated.
