ASB Reffing Tower v2

[The_Missing_Link]

The ASB Reffing Tower


Welcome to the Reffing Tower: a vital part of the ASB community. If you are an approved ASBer and you want to earn points as an official ref, then look at the mock battle below and try it out! You can also try out as a contest judge: more information is below. Here you may request a ref, offer your services, keep your ref record up to date and apply for a position. All other information is below, but if there is anything else you want to know, PM a moderator and we'll help you out.


What Are Referees?
A referee is the person who interprets the attacks made by all battlers and decides exactly what effect they have, before writing out a descriptive piece detailing the battle. Referees have the power to decide who wins a battle, and are therefore entrusted with great responsibility. As a referee, you are expected to be unbiased and consistent.


Reffing A Battle
While reffing a battle, you are required to give a description of how you see each attack panning out. This gives the referee a lot of freedom to write creatively, and the battlers the freedom to be far more strategic and clever in their battle plans than the games ever do. And because of this, you will often see many attacks interpreted differently by different referees, in different situations. It is perfectly acceptable that you ref your attacks differently than others would, as long as it remains unbiased, consistent and logical.

The most important factor when reffing, is to remember what game you are playing. This is ASB, not Pokemon Red, Gold or Sapphire. Damage should never be pre-calculated; attacks do not have set amounts of damage. When an attack is used, you should take into account things such as accuracy of the attack (whether it hit full on, or just brushed the opponent) and the type of the opponent (water attacks do more damage to fire types)

If you are at any time unsure of how to ref an attack, look at the ASB Attack List for a good guide. However this is merely a guide and does not have to be followed exactly.

Another important thing to know about is "damage caps." It is generally recommended that ASB refs apply a 30-50% damage cap during all normal battles (unless the battlers request it be removed). The most widely used value is 40%. A damage cap simply means that a pokémon cannot receive more than that set amount of damage in one round, regardless of any and all circumstances. Damage caps are completely omitted in events such as Gym Leader Tourney battles (esp. since damage is purposely increased there).

If you receive complaints about your reffing, you are expected to explain your actions to the battlers, so that everybody knows where they stand. If as a battler, you feel a ref’s explanation is biased, or unfair, report to the head ref who will sort the issue out and have the final say.


The Reffing Tower
The Reffing Tower is where you come to become an approved ref. The difference between an approved ref and an unapproved ref is quite simple: an approved ref gets extra rewards for their reffing. Therefore, you can choose to be an unapproved ref and gain the same amount of points from a battle that an approved ref gains but you will not get extra awards and may be at risk of being fired due to poor reffing quality. Approved refs are ranked, depending on their ability and their activeness. There are four difference attainable ranks, those being Rookie, Intermediate, Experienced and Master. There is also the Head ref, a position one individual holds, they have the final say on every reffing matter. If you have any complaints about reffing, you go to them.

The reffing tower is also used to request a referee. If you wish to request a new or sub ref, please post a link to the battle, saying whether you require a new ref or a sub ref.


Becoming A Ref
To become an approved ref, you must ref the mock battle at the bottom of this post. The Head ref will then analyze your reffing, and decide whether or not you are worthy of a spot as an approved ref. A newly approved ref will start off in either Rookie or Intermediate level; this is at the Head Ref’s discretion. If you fail the test, you must wait for a new mock battle before attempting again. If you just joined ASB, it would beneficial to you if you viewed other reffings before jumping in on your own. It’s not mandatory but it would help you see how the reffings are done.


Now That You're A Ref...
If you wish to gain promotion, then you must ref the current mock battle (provided you haven't already reffed it). Please also include what rank you are currently, and what rank you are attempting to achieve. When deciding whether you are worthy of promotion, the head ref will also study your general performance, to ensure you are reffing all battles at a good enough quality. It is also possible to be promoted due to sheer hard work.

You must always post links to the battles you are currently reffing to receive your reward, and update your posts every few rounds at least. You should keep all this information in one post, until the head ref posts a new mock battle (this will be in a new post too); then you can make a new post.

As a referee, you are expected to be active. If you go for an extended period of time without reffing (unless you’ve posted in the Absence Tower), you will be either demoted or fired and will have to re-do a mock reffing in order to be rehired.

Rewards
Your reward for being an approved ref is a free catch or evolution after reffing a certain amount of battles. In the case of a DQ or forfeit, the battle has to be at least half completed (ex: if there is a DQ in a 4 on 4, at least 2 Pokemon have to have been knocked out in order for you to use it as a reward link). The amount of battles required depends on your rank (see below for details). When you have reached the required amount, please post links to all the battles, and the Head Ref will then approve your prize. This is the battle amount each rank needs to complete before coming to the head ref:


This amount has changed as of February 5th, 2006

Rookie: 6 battles

Intermediate/Experienced: 5 battles

Master: 4 battles

Head Refs: 3 battles


-------------------
Anyone not included in the list of current referees must redo the latest mock battle in order to become an approved referee.

Things to Consider

- Try our ASB Movelist to check on moves.
- Remember that we ASB-mods like to set you up, so read and ref carefully!
- Take all stats into consideration.

-------------------

Contest Refs / Judges

Now that Contests are flourishing in ASB, it has come to my attention that we should have people who are able to ref contests asides from myself (Darkestlight). More information on Contests is here.

Just like with battles, to be an approved Contest Judge you must ref a mock battle. See below for the Mock Contest and post here in this Tower to get your Mock Contest checked. There will be similar (albeit condensed) ranks for Judges as much of it is down to opinion and personal takes on things.* Again, check below. This Mock Contest will, like Battles, be updated to ensure you can gain promotion.

Any questions PM Darkestlight. Remember, if, when reffing a Contest, you do not think a combo is feasible, then you are in your right to say that a combo would not work. (Eg...Thunderbolt and Flamethrower together, you get the picture. Or something just mind-boggling) If any arguments occur PM me and I shall determine whether or not the attack combo could be pulled off.

A reffed Contest can go in your reffing status just like any other reffing. You can use it towards your reffing quota. Point prizes and such are all in the link above.

Current Mock Contest

Please ref this contest. For those wondering how, you simply type out how the attacks are seen/work in the contest. See the current and past Pokemon Contests for any pointers. Ref the attacks, how well they work (for example, using thrash may over-excite the Pokemon, or something may go unplanned) and give it a score out of 10.00 for each Co-ordinator/Trainer.

NEW MOCK CONTEST

The Arena: A small grassland, with a small pond over to the west. It's still a bit chilly from a freshly fallen snow.

*

Seductress Brandy and Chingling[F]

Raindance then Icy Wind to turn it to snow and Heal Bell to do a little jingle bells thing for the winter season.

*

Loli Anniekins and Mr. Fuzzle[M]

"Let's start off with a Double Team and fire a Swift attack up into the air! Then dispel the Double Team clones and let's set them aglow with Shock wave!!"

*

Ruin Maniac Denny and Zu[M]

Okay start off with a Dragon Rush comboed into a Dig. Dig close to the surface so your fin sticks through the soil. Then burst from the Ground for a Crunch like the shark you are.



NOTES

Remember not all appeals are big flashy colourful attacks. They are about showcasing a Pokemon’s personality and character. If, for example, a Pokemon is sinister and creepy, and the appeal gives that effect, give it a good mark!

In light of that, appeals that combine different colours or moods should also receive some credit. But physical appeals, which are rare in contests, should still receive credit even if they’re not flashy.

If for example, you saw a Rapidash racing along showing impeccable speed, flames trailing behind it…it’s beautiful, no? Or if a Mightyena used roar, it’s scary, and focuses on its characteristics.

These are useful pointers for budding Judges.

The list from the main page of the old reffing tower wasn't updated too often. If this is a common occurance, PM a mod and we'll sort it out, but don't clutter this topic up.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I know, but I might thought you made me do it again, seeing that Mega Horny was on the list and he reffed a mock battle much later then I did. Anyway, sorry.

Attacks: Agility ~ Rage ~ Sky Attack

Round 3... begin!

The two trainers flying in their biplanes shout their commands to their Pokemon, who strain to hear their orders over the roar of the engines. They get the general gist and head back into their frantic battle. Ida, being a naturally speedy Swellow, begins by flying even faster, zipping around Otis in a circle. Otis darts her beak out here and there, trying to peck at the bird flying around her, but it's proving rather impossible - the speed at which Ida is flying proves far too fast for Otis to draw a bead on her. Ida slows to a stop, leaving Otis slightly dizzy from watching the Swellow fly in such a fast circle.
Ida, feeling confident, then unleashes her furious Rage attack, channeling her anger and frustration into a single super-powerful blow. Unfortunately... as the battle has not gone on for too long, and including the fact that Ida has the advantage over her foe, the Swellow simply can't muster up enough rage to make the attack effective. She swats at Otis with a wing, but Otis merely shrugs the attack off. Otis, in turn, manages to stop the world from spinning long enough to launch her attack: the Fearow opens her beak wide, channeling mysterious energies through her body. Three pyramids form at her beak, one red, one blue, and one yellow. They fly in a spiral pattern across the sky at Otis' foe, striking the Swellow in succession, sending fire, ice, and finally electric energy coursing through her body.
Ida scowls as she prepares her next attack. Pausing to charge for but a moment, the brightly colored bird begins to flit about in the air, brining to mind visions of hummingbirds. Ida continues to display her clear mastery of flight, flying hither and yon across the sky, altering her speed at will and erratically changing direction, but always keeping her focus on Otis. Otis tries to keep her eye on the Swellow, but the complex maneuvers Ida is performing, combined with her own dizziness, make that a difficult task. Nevertheless, she plunges on. Otis focuses her energy for a moment as her wings become coated with steel energy; opening her eyes, she charges at where she thinks Ida is. However, before she can get there, Ida continues to flit away. Otis chases her foe, but soon, the steel energy wears off. Ida grins and launches her ultimate attack: focusing her momentum into one uber-powerful hit, she charges at Otis, ramming the Fearow hard and almost knocking her out of the sky.
As the round ends, it's plain to see that both Pokemon are tiring quickly.

End!

Well, decided that I might as well try for a position as a Rookie referee. Well, here goes:

~*Orville Wright vs Wilbur Wright*~
Round 3
Arena: The sky

-Team Orville Wright-
Otis (female Fearow)
HP: 70% |Energy: 75% |Status: OK
Fury Attack~Tri Attack~Steel Wing

-Team Wilbur Wright-
Ida (female Swellow)
HP: 60% |Energy: 80% |Status: OK
Agility~Rage~Sky Attack


~Round 3 Begin~

Both the bird Pokemon were circling around their trainer’s plane, waiting for the next command to be given. Finally grasping on their given command, they then flew to the open sky, waiting for any move from each other.

Ida suddenly started to go really fast, as she performed Agility. Otis head constantly moved from side to side, trying to follow Ida’s movement. Growing frustrated, the Fearow flew forward, launching off a series of peck, which missed Ida due to her increase of speed.

Ida stopped from his manoeuvres, and rushed towards Otis, ramming her with rage that she had built during the previous move. Otis shrugs of from the attack, and focused on her next attack as a peculiar energy is collected in her beak. Ida, still in rage from the last attack, was then hit with a beam of fire, ice and lightning.

Recovering from the three-element blast, Ida body started to glow slightly, as she began to zip across the sky in a whole zigzag pattern in an unpredictable manner. Otis was slightly confused by the manoeuvre, but she performed her trainer’s given command as her wing glowed into steel-like. Thinking that she had finally read the Swellow’s pattern, she then rushed forward, swinging her wing.

But to her disappointment, it missed. Panting, the glow on her wing then faded. Ida suddenly stopped her movement, before she rushed forward Otis with a powerful dive. Otis staggered from the forces of the impact, and so does Ida. They both shrugged off from the attack, waiting for the next command.


~End of Round 3~

-Team Orville Wright-
Otis (female Fearow)
HP: 58% |Energy: 64% |Status: Accuracy slightly decreased, pained wing

*Round Three Begins*

“Welcome ladies and gentleman, as we watch an interesting battle take place here above the Texas Desert. Wilbur and Orville in a one on one flying pokemon battle!”

Orville and Wilbur stared at eachother, both from on their historical plains, in the same way that Otis and Ida did. Feeling mutual respect and anger for eachother, this match reached a highpoint on moral.

As the commands were given, Otis dashed off into the sky with a slap of her gigantic wings, aiming right at Ida; her beak started to glow white. A series off quick pecks into the air as an example made sure she was ready. She now flew towards Ida, who already had been given a counter command just used her amazing, natural speed and flew into a circular pattern around Otis, avoiding every single peck that Otis launched at her. She divebombed up and down, swinging her beautifull feathers around, just in time to stop when Otis declared her attack as failed.

Feeling confident, Ida dashes off towards the fatigued Otis and focuses herself on the previous rounds to bring out that fiercy rage as she slams herself into Otis, who was propelled backwards. Not wanting to give up, Otis opened his beak. It was time for a counter attack. A red orb of energy started to arise from her beak, as the blue and yellow orbs appeared on the external point of her right and left wing, forming a triagle pattern. Otis inhales the air once again and then fires off her three-element blast. Ida who was glowing white didn’t see the attack coming, but quickly managed to propell herself upwards using her collected energy for her next attack.

As Ida reached a remarkable hight, she decided it was time for her final attack. Changing her direction from up to down, she divebombed right at Otis who’s wing was just glowing silver as she was flying upwards. Both pokemon collided in mid air.

Heavy damage was done to both pokemon as they were falling down, slightly hearing the words their trainers shouted. Ida awoke and regained her state of mind to stretch her wings and fly again as Otis did the same They both stared at eachother ready to receive the next commands

*Stats*


Otis / Fearow (female)

round one
The year is 1903. North Carolina had been turned into a more modern state since the first airplane flight, which took place in Kitty Hawk, presently where the battle amongst two rivals has begun. The two aforementioned brothers, Orville and Wilbur, decided against using themselves to get into a battle of fisticuffs, rather letting their aerial birds do the work for them. They currently roam the skies in tiny, one-man airplanes that they've designed and built themselves. As they pass one another by, they barrage a series of insults that would only be funny if it we (the spectators) didn't exist one hundred and three years into the future.

As the chirping of the propellor continues to sound, Wilbur flies closer to his adversary, "You know what, Wilbur," he says innocently, "face like a bag of fannies!"

"Oh yeah, well," Orville counters, "you have a face like a leper licking piss off a thistle!"

Both tiny bi-planes speed off in opposite directions as two poké balls explode in the air; the remnants of the ball falling gracefully to the ground which is presently twenty meters below. Emerging from the two poké balls, with their wings flapping up and down frantically to stay afloat, is a fearow named Otis, and a sweallow named Ida. The two of them are already battle worn from a previous round of habberdashing, but are still willing to battle. The attacks have been called out, and the battle officially begins.

As Otis (she's got a boy's name) glides over to her adversary, her beak, sharp and menacing, begins to tingle with anticipation. She flurries her head forward in hopes to cause damage to the swellow, however Ida quickly darts away in a sudden burst of speed, easily evading the attack. With her agility raised heavily, Ida thinks angry thoughts. Unfortunately, there's not much to be angry about these days as she rams lightly into her foe (3% – Otis). Otis shrugs off the weak attack and rears back whilst conjuring a wave of three elements within her system. She suddenly fires off the beam of tetra. Ice is shot out first, then fire dances around, allowing the electricity to charge with it. The three elements collide with the mellow bird, causing varying damge (5% + 3% + 5% – Ida). Still flapping her wings strongly, Ida becomes enveloped with a sudden sense of wind-based energy. As the energy continues to charge, Otis takes her time and dives over towards her fellow flying pokémon. Her left wing is coated in a steel substance as it slaps across the charging swellow (7% – Ida). Fully charged, Ida immediately slams into her foe with a cursed sense of power, dealing an incredible amount of damage (10% – Otis).

the results
Ida's faster than a speeding bullet, but her energy is draining quickly as a result. Otis, still a girl with a boy name, is suffering some damage from her foe's attack, but is otherwise okay.

Could we get a ref please, I would like a ref with experience, I love TML and Wolfsong's reffing styles

[The_Missing_Link]

Sorry Steve, I don't ref much anymore and as a rule, I've never done tag team battles (and this goes way back to when I first started reffing)


TBA: Really good. The damage could've been a bit higher and the energy lower on Ida but I know you're capable of handling yourself at the Experienced level

darktyranitar: Rookie, but you need to fix a few things. Your grammar and overall description could use improvement but I know you're from a different country so it's good you're trying to improve all the time. Second, Sky Attack is a very powerful attack but also very costly when it comes to energy so it should've done more damage to Otis while bringing Ida's energy down a lot. Finally, I think Tri Attack could've done a bit more damage but it's not a big mistake. Good for a first try

MeLoVeGhOsTs: By all means, Ida's energy should be lower than Otis's due to Sky Attack. I honestly don't know how to score this so I'll let Chris or Dan decide

drew: I'll leave this to Chris or Dan as well. I wasn't entirely impressed with the battle itself, although the prebattle was rather entertaining



Also, Amy and I need a ref here

[Chris 2.1]

MeLoveGhosts: I will approve you as Intermediate. Only real problems were the energy levels, but that can be your task to try and work on. Congratulations.

Greydrew: I'm going to deny it. I don't see this ref as a particular 'step-up' from your usual standards. I'm at something of a loss as to how you could better your current ranking. Your position stays the same.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Thanks Chris, I will work on it.

MeLoVeGhOsTs VS Mega Horny: Round 1

[Elec Man EXE]

Uh... if this is Round 1, wouldn't that mean that the pokemon should have 100% Health and Energy? But anyway... mock reffing, for whatever position is open for un-approved peoples

Orville Wright vs Wilbur Wright
Round 1

*Pre-Round*
Otis (Female)
70% HP / 75% EP
Status: Fine
Fury Attack ~ Tri-Attack ~ Steel Wing

Ida (Female)
60% HP / 80% EP
Status: Good
Agility ~ Rage ~ Sky Attack

Arena Status: Clear skies

*Battle*
As Otis hears her commands shouted from her airbourne trainer, she begins to fly at Ida, ready to attack. She nears her target, pulls her head back, and thrusts her beak towards her confident looking opponent. But Ida has no intention of becoming a pincussion for Otis, and uses her blinding speed to quickly move aside and dodge Otis' initial attack. Otis continues repeated beak stabs, but Ida's speed advantage allows her to dodge every strike with ease, appearing as a mere blurr of motion. After a few attacks, Ida flaps her wings and dashes out of range, knowing that eventually Otis will get lucky at close range, but she doesn't stand a chance of catching her.

A bit disapointed at her failure, but realizing this is her chance and resolved to win this battle, Otis pulls back her head, steadies herself, and lets out a call as her beak and talons begin glowing with a strange light. After a brief second of gathering energy, she releases it, and a beam emits from all three locations, each a different color, spinning around one another to form a single attack. Ida, now satisfied with the distance between the two, turns around to see this projectile heading straight for her. Still harnessing boosted speed, she makes a movement to the side to try and dodge, but the size and speed of the blast prove to be too much for the Swellow to completely avoid. The beam makes contact with her left wing, simultaneously causing a burning pain, numbing sensation, and a freezing effect. She screams in pain as she begins to fall, unable to move the wing for a brief second. Tenseing her wing muscles, she manages to regain control, and with anger in her eyes quickly flies straight for Otis. Suprised by her quick recovery, Otis is hit by the full force of the attack, throwing her backwards.

A few flaps of her large wings and she regains stability, and once again goes on the offensive. Her wings glint with a metalic luster, and she flies straight for Ida, who is fluttering a little ways off, seemingly with the difficulty of a wounded wing. Ida is indeed in a lot of pain, but she doesn't let that stop her. She begins all manor of complex arial manuevers, building momentum for a huge attack and glowing faintly. Otis attempts to to match these maneuvers, but with her wings currently coated with a metal aura she is unable to do so with much success. She is just about to give up when Ida does a 180 and flies straight for her at a blinding speed. Now with both pokemon on the attack, Otis attempts to catch Ida with the sharp edge of her wing, but the speed of Ida's attack makes it incredibly difficult. The pokemon collide with one another, but its the huge force behind Ida that prevails, carrying both pokemon in that direction before Ida flaps her wings and breaks off her attack before she loses control. Otis recovers from the immense pain, drops her steel coating and flaps her wings to regain balance in the air.

As the round ends, Otis winces in extreme pain from the Swellow's final attack, and Ida is still struggling with a wounded wing, and also appears to be tiring at a rapid rate.


*Post-Round*
Otis (Female)
41% HP / 57% EP
Status: In Pain, but fine


Ida (Female)
48% HP / 36% EP
Status: Tiring, Wounded Left Wing (causes faster EP loss for arial manuevers)

Arena Status: Clear skies persisting.

[Chris Watarimono]

Hey everyone. :3

I want to apologize for everyone here in the TPMASBL for my inactiveness as of late. There have been several battles backed up into oblivion due to this ruckus nature for weeks, and even months on end. I have been consistently striving to go after these reffings and clear them out, but it seems like a rough go for me, especially since I'm especially busy at college with a major event I'm planning to start up in May.

However, my duty as a ref here is to make sure that everyone has a great time and that everything proceeds as smoothly as possible, and after much time of inertia, I feel that other people are better off taking up the cross better than I am.

So, I'm going to hand over the following two matches up for reffingment if anyone feels free to take them. There's been a spike in activity in general, so it shouldn't be too hard finding someone. =P

Darth Skruti VS DarkestLight (LoTR knowledge recommended)
Darkfire VS Wolfsong

The CT/River and Yero/TBA battle will still be done by me, as I've proceeded a considerable amount into that, and I should get back into it later today or so.

Also, I'm also holding off my re-mock reffing for a bit after I get back my tempo after my interia.

Thanks everyone. Now let's all have a great time! =D

-Chris R.

[Andrew]

I would try out to be a ref, but there's the fact I don't like bird pokemon that much, that I haven't applied to yet...

ALSO! If someone could be a dear and ref my 1 on 1 Stantler battle, that'd be brilliant. Stantler vs Sableye!

[RaZoR LeAf]

Elec Man EXE - It shouldn't have been round 1, but I guess I forgot to change that bit. Anyway, it doesn't affect the actual battle, so no worries about it.

I don't see any major problems with the reffing, other than Ida loosing a bit too much energy. it's over a 40% loss, which is almost half her energy in 1 round. yes, Sky Attack would take a lot and the injured wing would add to it, but not so much I imagine.

Never the less, approved as a Rookie Ref

Andrew - You're in luck, I'm writing a new April 1st Reffing out this very moment. No birds, I promise.

Arena
A circus ring. A large circular area with a sawdust floor. Crowds of people are gathered to watch the event, and are protected from the battlers only by a small barrier around the outside of the ring. Above the pokemon are trapeze artists swinging back and forth, with a large net ready to catch them. Hotdogs are being sold, but they taste as good as the sawdust.

Last round, Rofflecopter used Future Sight.

Apron "Lollerskates, use Bulk Up to boost your upper body strength, then throw yourself at the enemy with Body Slam. Finish off with a Hypnosis to send your foe to sleep"

April "Rofflecopter, snap out of that confusion with a Calm Mind, and when Spinda comes for you, hit it with a Thunderbolt! Finish with Magic Coat, and send that Hypnosis back to it's owner!"

[Mega Horny]

round five
The obviously circus-y music continues to blare throughout the large, red tent. Before the match even begins, a particularly rotund man takes the center stage. He's wearing an oddly gaudy outfit comprised of spandex colored in ways that oppose the human eye. As he twirls his greasy mustache between his right index finger and thumb, he begins his announcement, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages!..."

Fast forward fifteen minutes ahead. The first act was apparently a pokémon battle amongst two clowns: a girl named April, and a boy named... Apron? As in, "the chef's apron"? Nevermind, I'll just call him Ron. The two pokémon are looking quite fatigued, but know they have to finish this battle to appease the several... ten... people cheering them on in the stands.

The fifth set of commands have been ordered, and the round begins. However, before Lollerskates, the spinda, can begin casting her techniques, a rupture in space-time appears above her, sending a rippling beam of mental energy down upon her. Her mind begins to quake and tremble, already going against her headache. Lollerskates squeals in pain as the attack continues it's "mind rape" (8% – Lollerskates). The circus bear clutches her head in pain, remembering that the show must go on. Holding her arms out to the side, the spinda attempts to boost her own strength in an impressive display. Unfortunately, the attack she has been ordered to pull off is not found in her move database whatsoever. Lollerskates sighs.

Meanwhile, the girafarig, Rofflecopter, closes his eyes whilst his tail flails about angrily, demanding sustenance despite never needing to eat. The psychic giraffe eases his confusion, thinking cool, easy thoughts as a swirl of energy flows through his body, easing his nerves. His mind now at rest, and his confusion cured (5% – Rofflecopter), he sets his sights on the spinda, who had presently made her way towards him in a violent manner.

In anticipation of her attack, Rofflecopter begins to conjur an electric energy throughout his body carefully. The spinda collides with Rofflecopter angrily (6% – Rofflecopter; 5% – Lollerskates); as she does so, she is literally shocked when her foe discharges the concentrated electricity, flinging her back into a the plastic walls of the circus tent (9% – Lollerskates; 8% – Rofflecopter).

Her fur hideously charred, Lollerskates stumbles over to her foe whilst contemplating her next move. Her mind still aches painfully as she stops a few feet in front of Rofflecopter. She begins to stare him down with an unappreciative gaze (6% – Lollerskates). Rofflecopter immediately counteracts by summoning a large mirror (10% – Rofflecopter). This technique was called "magic coat", and it allowed the user to counter any spell that would cause indirect harm, such as paralysis or poison. The methods used were always different, and for the most part took a lot of energy to conjur. As the spinda continued her hypnosis, the mirror reflected it. She began to notice that her eyes had become much heavier. Drifting off, Lollerskates lies down on the grassy floor with her thumb in her mouth.

the results
Another successful round for the girafarig, as he glares down at his sleeping adversary. It's to be assumed that her mind no longer guakes with an insufferable headache. Perhaps she's dreaming about not having such a rediculous name?

BATTLE
~~~~~

Rofflecopter drunkenly swaggers about, his confusion a not so fun reminder of last rounds blunder. If he is to turn this battle around, his mind must be clear as a crystal. He stamps his hooves down and concentrates, glowing with a flicking blue energy. He finds himself one with everything…Zen if you will…and steadies himself. Lollerskates’ throbbing is also a hindrance but if he can power up, so can she and with that she flexes a body builders pose and glows a sporadic orange. Muscles all along her build puff out of nowhere to give her the appearance of a Mr. Universe contestant.

Sighing heavily, calm in body and spirit, Rof’ snorts and quickly charges a sparking energy to his minute horns and rises up on his hind legs to challenge the dizzy bear. The steroid induced Lol’ crouches down and bounds into the air, kicking up saw dust and fanning wide to smash him with her weight. With precise time, Rof releases his charged bolt and tags Lol with impressive force.

The Psychic giraffe plants himself again and closes his eyes, focusing on his body and generating a glossy golden sheen to his coat just as Lol’ lands unceremoniously, sparks still covering her body. She gets up and stares angrily at the cool headed Girafarig and proceeds to claps her paws together and stare deeply at her foe, her eyes beginning to swirl and from them, hypnotic waves emit and fly striking Rof’ but to her shock and surprise they seamlessly bounce off of him and right back at her. She is knocked out before she has a chance to breath and tumbles to the ground, snoring…

Round Five
Acrobats everywhere in sight above a large net protecting falls onto the battle grounds below. Underneath the sound of pipe organ music, complaints over dusty hot dogs, and cheers for the combantants, the commands are unleashed. Perhaps this is the moment these two trainers are waiting for, twin siblings under their clownish identities of April and Apron. This main event was into its fifth round, and perhaps their foolishly named Pokémon were more confident than ever.

Still in a state of lacking some sobriety, Rofflecoptor was deep in his mind hoping that his use of Future Sight could strike sooner than anticipated. Shaking his head as if undergoing a seizure, he stomped a forehoove on the dusty, lifeless ground and tried his hardest to think of serenity. As he found peace, he steadied himself. Meanwhile, despite the migraine, the panda-like Lollerskates breathes in deeply and flexes her muscles, biceps and all slightly hardening as they pushed forward, giving the girl an intimidating look as if she were Xena herself. Now increased in physical offense and defense, her headache seemed to worsen...

Smirking, the almost metaphysical giraffe reopened his eyes and cast small sparkles from the tips of his small antlers, watching the intolerable pain of the bear almost sadistically. As he gather energy, confidence was restored in Lollerskates. She lunged forward towards the Girafarig, as he unleashed electrical energy built up inside of him. She was sent hurdling backwards, yet was only astonished rather than suffering paralysis. The thunderbolt seemed to have taken her headache away, as well.

Satisfied, Rofflecopter once again closed his eyes, his almost downy pelt gathering a glossy, almost unearthly glow to it. He was illuminated with a protective magic now. Too shocked to pay attention, Lollerskates concentrated on sending forward a blast of hypnotic energy, attempting to cast the giraffe into a dream-like state. However, due to the protective sheen, the visible mind waves were sent back towards the panda. Confused, yet suddenly too fatigued to think, the bear stumbled around in its place slightly, falling forward head-first and falling asleep. Content and at a state of serenity, Rofflecopter was proud that the round seemed to go at his favor.
