I feel kinda bad that this battle hasn't been picked up yet, so I'll accept your challenge. Gimme a few hours, I gotta get my Metang approved. D:

Edit: Argyros has finally expanded its movepool!



Alrighty Zen, just because we're friends doesn't mean I'll go easy on you! Argyros, let's start off by slowing-- is your Zangoose male or female? @_@-- IT down with Icy Wind and blind it with Mud-Slap. Finish up with Iron Defense.

Icy Wind ~ Mud-Slap ~ Iron Defense

[Deadwood_Zen]

He's male(updated my siggy, too)

Yaj!
Start it off with a Sunny Day, then deflect the Mud with an Ice Beam, and finish it off with a Fire Blast!

‡ Round 1 ‡

Good day, ladies and gents! Ahh, a beautiful day. Chirping Pidgeys, scattering Sentrets... yup, it would prolly be just about perfect if it weren't for the fact that I, uh, seem to have gotten myself lost in the middle of the woods. Navigation was never really my forte But, fortunately, I appear to have stumbled upon a match between newcomer Deadwood_Zen and the formidable Kurosakura! Yay for random lucky woodland reffings! The two trainers deliberate over their selections before releasing, with Zen going for a rather surly mongoose while Kurosakura goes for a shiny tin can. Let’s have a fair match, guys! Game on!

Yaj starts things up by lifting his arms to the sky. The sun begins to burn brightly as it spills hot sunbeams over our clearing. However, Argyros doesn’t pay this any mind and simply commands snow-flecked wind to whistle through the woods before causing Yaj to go numb. Brr!

Yaj: <-5 HP; -4 EP>
Argyros: <-4 EP>

Argyros snickers as its foe wipes the snow out of his fur. The Metang then picks up a handful of mud and flings it at Yaj! The Zangoose, however, is far too quick; taking aim, he unleashes a blue-white beam of frigid energy that connects with the airborne mud. The Mud Slap freezes solid and falls to the ground with a clunk. Mudcicle, anyone?

Yaj: <-8 EP>
Argyros: <-3 EP>

Smug for having deflected that attack, Yaj opens wide and spews out a large flaming ideogram. The sun-boosted Fire Blast crackles through the air before colliding with Argyros, frying the little Steel-type up a bit. Concerned with its fortitude, Argyros diverts a little energy to strengthening its ability to defend certain attacks. Strong as iron!

Yaj: <-10 EP>
Argyros: <-19 HP; -4 EP; +2 Def>

Nice job, Yaj!

Now, jump up and try a Low Kick, to trip her. After that, hit her with two more Fire Blasts, point blank if you can!

[Kurosakura]

owo Doesn't Icy Wind always lower Speed one stage? Also, I'm in no way formidable. XD

If Zen wants to play hardball, we WILL play hardball. And Argyros has no gender, so it's offended that you think it's a girl. ;~; Since abilities aren't in effect, we'll start off with Toxic, then combat the Fire Blast with Psychic and follow up with Brick Break before high tailing it out of there.

Toxic~Psychic~Brick Break

[Deadwood_Zen]

Sorry, but under Oslo's post, it looked like the female gender symbol. At least, to me, and my prescription suxxx... o:

[Kurosakura]

Apologize to Argy before it zaps you or something. XD

‡ Pre-Round ‡


‡ Round 2 ‡

Intent on showing Argyros that he’s not afraid of any stinkin’ Defence boost, Yaj approaches the Metang and scores a direct hit with a Low Kick that leaves a tiny dent in Argyros’s side. Pffsh, is one measly dent gonna stop this mighty Steel-type? Not likely! Argyros spews out a nice, thick glob of Toxic goo that smacks into Yaj’s face. Uh-oh, it looks like the Zangoose is Poisoned. This never ends well.

Yaj: <-4 EP; Badly poisoned>
Argyros: <-7 HP; -4 EP>

Shaking off the sickness, Yaj opts for a second Fire Blast, sending another fiery mass at his foe. Argyros tries to use some Psychic waves to dispel the Fire-type attack, but its attempt comes too late, and the little tin can gets fried. Annoyed, it tries the Psychic strategy again, this time to hoist Yaj off the ground and slams him into a nearby tree. The Metang giggles. Violence is fun!

Yaj: <-9 HP; -10 EP>
Argyros: <-19 HP; -9 EP>

Take three! Yaj goes for his third Fire Blast and, as the searing flames crackle along Argyros’s body, the Metang figures it’s time to exact a little super-effective damage of its own. Argyros hops toward Yaj and slams his arms into the Zangoose’s solar plexus, knocking the wind out of Yaj.

Yaj: <-9 HP; -10 EP>
Argyros: <-19 HP; -4 EP>

A mild pain crops up in Yaj's stomach <-3 HP>, but if you think that's uncomfortable, just wait a couple rounds.


‡ Post-Round ‡

Notes:

> The little symbol beneath Metang was the international symbol for intersex people... but, since it's wee and blurry and looks really similar to the female symbol, I've gone with something else.
> Unless interrupted, Sunny Day will last for one more round
> Damage incurred by Toxic will increase arithmetically by a factor of two (3, 5, 7, 9, etc.)
> This round was reffed with a 40% damage cap, which came into effect with Argyros
> TEAM KUROSAKURA to command next

[Kurosakura]

Ozzy, I'm still wondering where Yaj's -1 Spd went! D: Editing attacks in later.

[Oslo]

Oops, didn't notice you mention that earlier. XD Sorry. Anyway, yes, Icy Wind lowers Speed in the games, but that detail is not included in the Movelist. I did a little browsing through past battles and saw that, most of the time, refs won't give a -1 Spd for Icy Wind, so I'm going to keep it the way it is. Hope that works for you!

[Oslo]

Sorry to double post, but this is a reminder for Kurosakura. You're past the DQ time at this point.

[Deadwood_Zen]

I was MIA for the weekend, so I don't care. I'm cool to keep battling you, Ms. Sakura, id you wish?

[Oslo]

Deadwood_Zen has called a DQ. He and I get two points while Kuro gets one.
