Good day, and welcome to the Kanto Power Plant! Here, amidst many buzzy generators and live wires and Pokeballs that only look like Pokeballs but are really Electrodes ready to asplode in your face, we will stage the first match-up of, oh yes, an epic Pokemon battle! Familiar faces Cynder (who is not a boy!) and DCM will be squaring off yet again. Their last match ended with DCM getting narrowly edged out after a well-fought battle, but will things wind up going differently today? Let’s find out!
The trainers make their selections for the first pairing. Cynder’s wee little thunder doggy will go off against DCM’s imitation Pogeyball. Excitement! Let’s get this show on the road!
HLFP looks on as Jinso begins hacking up a blob of steaming Toxic goo which he immediately spits right at the Voltorb! Yuck! Not wanting that icky stuff to make contact, HLFP suddenly erects a pink energy shield. The goo rebounds off HLFP's protection and strikes Jinso right in the kisser. All of a sudden, Jinso's stomach begins to burble. He whimpers. Not good.
Jinso: <-5 EP; Txc>
HLFP: <-5 EP>
HLFP bounces is glee, happy with the way this match has started. The Voltorb channels this joy into a sudden burst of vivid yellow-green energy from within. The attack deals respectable damage against Jinso who tumbles backward in a daze. Pulling himself to his feet, Jinso begins gnashing his jaws and growling like a feral dog. The sonic eruption from this attack sends HLFP rolling back into a wall. All of a sudden, the Ball Pokemon feels its stats take a turn for the worse.
Jinso: <-7 HP; -4 EP>
HLFP: <-6 HP; -5 EP; -1 SpA>
Eat Swift! HLFP does a little spin on the spot, unleashing a brilliant array of super-sharp stars that hone in on Jinso with impeccable accuracy. They slice up the doggy quite well, causing Jinso to bring out the big guns. Opening wide, he cuts loose with a crackling gout of flames. Yikes! The Voltorb all but melts after that super-hot strike, but manages to keep it together.
Jinso: <-5 HP; -8 EP>
HLFP: <-10 HP; -4 EP>
Suddenly, the generator boots up and shoots a jolt of electricity down the wires lying like an upturned bowl of spaghetti on the ground. In a mad scramble, our two battlers each find nearby wires to leap upon. As the electricity courses through their bodies, both Jinso <+10 EP> and HLFP <+10 EP> feel their energy levels take a turn for the better. However, the Toxic suddenly kicks in, and Jinso <-3 HP> winces as his health suddenly does the opposite.
