Your challenge has been accepted, Ace. For this match, I shall use my newcomer, the Great Sword, Zoke (male scyther).
Zoke, let's get things started with a Double Team, followed by Swords Dance! Then, hit Zake with your Aerial Ace!

With 4th battle slot approved, I can get this back up. Everyone has a bunch of new Pokes from the X-mas Tree, so why not give em a whirl.
Battle Type: 2 on 2, one at a time.
DQ: 1 week
I send first, you attack first.
Banned Moves: Toxic, Recovery moves (ALL), Destiny Bond, Self-Destruct, Explosion, Attract, Imprison, Perish Song.
Arena: Let's take it easy. A seaside resort- battles can take place along the shore, or within the town itself. The town is composed of several shops (tourist traps, complete with tourists for bashable fun.) Cars line the curbs, but the streets are empty. It is a lazy Sunday. On the west side of the island is a small park in a forest clearing.
Ref- I kinda hate energy KO's. I'd greatly appreciate if energy cost were a bit lowered while damage was raised. Hopefully my opponent will not object, as the battle will be finished in the same span of time either way. Also, if you want to do more with the arena, feel free. I'm unimaginative at the moment.
Go, Zake! (M) Machop

Great! So many Scyther around...
Zake and Zoke. Hmm. Congratulate his effort with Encore, then see through the illusions with Foresight. Finish with a Fire Punch.

Oh by the way Ace64, request about the energy lowered stuff and all taken into account.
I’ve been reffing a few beach battles lately. =.=
Do excuse the weird(mangled and ungrammatical) language in the first part… I blame it all on that chocolate I ate earlier. >.< If you really do object to it, I’ll redo the reffing. Really ^^

hp loss || energy loss
round one the almighty ref has deemed it fit that the battle should begin by yonder beach on which the waves roar and Krabby do patter across the silvered sands in the wee hours of the morning doing whatever it is that they do. With another great effort, the ref doth determine that the time should be midmorning, when the suns rays doth not beat down their fulleth.
From the far left cometh an overgrown bug, its appendages of steel do glint cruelly, and form the other, a muscled creature roughly resembling something of human persuasion doth appear to answer the challenger’s call. Their trainers watch from a mound nearby, both seemingly mere observers to the battle beneath, instead of the manipulators.
The Great Sword, or Zoke, shimmers, and begins the dance of illusion around the Machop. Zake, seemingly much impressed by this display claps, mentally rewiring his opponent’s mind without Zoke even realising(4% - Zoke, 3% - Zake).
Zoke’s form continues to circle Zake’s, but Zake worries not, his eyes emitting beams of a crimson hue that bath the arena in the otherworldly light, shattering all illusions(the beach becomes ugly and litter ridden, the waters turn grey and ugly, the expensive looking seaside resort turns out to be a few weatherbeaten huts…*the referee grins and waves her hands and makes this not-so and all is restored to relative normalcy*), but Zoke’s images are gone(4% - Zoke, 4% - Zake).
Acting as if nothing has happened, Zoke charges forward, razor-sharp blades raised, glowing with an eye blindingly bright light that smashes down hard onto Zake, but Zake does not despair, countering with his burning fists of flame, reminiscent of some old Kung-fu movies, knocking Zoke back a few paces, throwing up a shower of sand behind him( 12% - Zake, 3% - Zoke, 14% - Zoke, 4% - Zake) .

The reffing's fine, I'm just glad to have a ref. Thanks- promise to get your ASBRPG stuff done.
Now then..nice job, Zake. Start with a Vital Throw- throw him towards the ocean. Then follow up with a Ice Punch and finish with Scary Face.

Nice work, Zoke. Now, as Zake comes at you with Vital Throw, use your Swords Dance; that'll hopefully throw him away from you. Then, hit him with another Aerial Ace, then relax with your eyes closed to avoid the Scary Face.

hp loss || energy loss || energy gain
round two Zake takes a deep breath as he prepares himself for the throw that he will make, and in his own time, he rushes forward, steadily gaining momentum. As soon as he sees his opponent move, Zoke begins his intricate Swords Dance, a marvellous display of danger and grace combined in one agile package. Ignoring this, Zake charges through the swishing blades, the strong winds generated not enough to faze him; gripping his opponent by his slender waist, he lifts the taller Scyther easily, tossing his opponent with a soft grunt. With a large splash, Zoke finds himself in salty seawater, wet, and feeling rather bruised. ( 12% - Zoke, 4% -Zake, 3% - Zoke)
Zake runs forward, his right fist already glinting with touches of frost, making contact with Zoke’s abdominal area,causing a thin web of ice with millions of hairline cracks to spread across Zoke’s front( 15% - Zoke, 5% - Zake) . In return, Zoke lifts up a glowing blade again to smash it down onto Zake’s shoulder, almost tearing through the layer of skin to reach the flesh( 16% - Zake, 3% - Zoke).
In an attempt to intimidate his opponent, Zake contorts his face into a terribly grotesque mask of evil, something he finds great enjoyment in doing(2% - Zake). However, his effort is wasted as Zoke simply closes his eyes, and stands in the surf, finding a moment of peace amidst the battle(4% - Zoke).

Notes:
- since energy loss is decreased, I figured energy gained from relaxing should also decrease... unless I should increase energy gain from relaxing maybe?

Shouldn't have Aerial Ace done a bit more damage to Zake now that Zoke's attack power increased with the Swords Dance?

Yeah, that makes sense. Also, I think the energy for relax is fine- it was intended to block Scary Face more than anything.

(however must take into consideration the fact that his swords dance was interrupted halfway)

Let's try another Swords Dance, Zoke, followed quickly with a great Slash to his face! Finally, hit him hard with Aerial Ace.

Zake, use Rock Tomb to try and restrict his movement and keep that Swords Dance from completing. While he's trying to get free, Bulk Up. Finish with a Fire Blast.

round three Zoke begins his swords dance, hoping to see it to its end this time, but he is foiled yet again by Zake, who calls up rocks from deep beneath the sandy beach, most of it sandstone, long buried and out of light, but now, they rise, completely entombing the Scyther.
Finding himself in complete darkness, Zoke is in a dilemma about whether to take his own action to escape or remain where he is. He decides to remain as he is, and relaxes. As this goes on, Zake bulks up, channelling his energy into building up his physical strength temporarily for the battle.
Still not knowing what to do, Zoke is still. Zake however has no qualms about washing the tomb structure with his fire blast – however, this seems to serve no purpose other than back and further harden the sandstone that surrounds Zoke.

ref's notes:
1. wanted to use the dice to determine if Zoke would attack or not, but the online dice were inaccessible and I don't have any ready available dice at home.

D'oh! Oh well, we can still work this out Zake.
Hopefully it'll take Zoke a few tries to break free. Take the opportunity to use your Strength to lift that Tomb and shake it up a bit, to disorient him. If any holes have appeared inside the tomb, use a Flamethrower to grill him from the inside. If he's still trapped,though, Relax. If he's gotten free by now, use the broken tomb as part of a Rock Slide. If not, shake him up with Strength again.

I'd rather finish this battle if possible, so I'll give Drew another day or so. After that, I'm just gonna let it fade.

He's been busy with 'Carolyn,' preparing to move and taking trips.
I'm not sure whether he minds the DQ or not, but he feels as if what he is doing is more important (which it is)
Thats all he told me.
Okay, then that's that.Thanks for the info.
