[Cynder]

I'll take this if you don't mind

I'll send out my female Trapinch Sabaku with Sheer Force ability, she needs exerience.

Signal Beam ~ Gust ~ Crunch

[DarkestLight]

SQUEEE!!!

Not reffing LOL.

[Pichu Luver]

Sounds good Cynder and LOL DL.

Alastar use Worry Seed, Flash and Energy Ball.

[Toucan Sundae]

I'll take this, if everyone's alright with it?

[Cynder]

You have to become an approved ref at the reffing tower before you can ref. I think you might be able to ref without, but you don't get as many rewards or something? I'd check with one of the mods or become an approved ref first.

I had asked before, you don't have to be approved, you just don't get the benefits

[nsmbwii]

This is true. There's no extra burden being an approved ref, and once you ref a certain amount of battles, you get extra goodies. It even says you can ref without being approved on the first Post of the Reffing Tower.

[Pichu Luver]

Damn you people reply fast, lol. I agree with Cynder's sentiment. By all means, go ahead Toucan and thanks ^^.

Pre round

The water in the pond rippled as a Surskit skated across it, bouncing the lilies around distorting the reflection of the willow tree looming overhead. Algae and leaves also danced on top of the pond, and barely visible, underneath the algae, a loan Feebas could be seen, until it fled. Both Cynder and Pichu Luver wandered into the meadow from either side, the bottoms of their shoes obscured by the overgrown grass and weeds. The two eyed each other from the opposite sides of the meadow, each of them gasping a Poké Ball in their hands. By the glare, both of them knew that they were challenging each other to battle. Pichu Luver was the first to summon their Pokémon, a Deerling popping out of the red-and-grey orb. Cynder Ponyta Lover then threw her Poké Ball, summoning her Trapinch.

Round 1

Just by looking at the two, it was quite obvious who would go first. Alastar began to shake, hooves hidden in the grass, as he shook, seeds began to rise from the ground and fly towards Alastar and orbit him, creating a ball of translucent orange glow, filled with dark, brown bits. Closing his eyes, Alastar turned towards Sabaku and the orange ball left Alastar and struck Sabaku! However, this orange, translucent, bitty ball did no damage, in fact, it left Sabaku feeling more awake.

Sabaku's ability is now Insomnia.
-1 ENG for Alastar

Now feeling more alive, Sabaku grinned and opened her mouth wide. Just like a Venus Fly-trap, she left her mouth open, a little, green ball formed in her mouth and, along with the amount of time she kept her mouth open, the ball grew bigger. Until the ball grew to a similar size as her torso, she then slightly closed her jaw and the ball flew out of her jaw, compressed with how her jaw was slightly closed, it tore through the air and struck Alastar, knocking him back a bit and slightly singing the grass.

Sabaku:
-4 ENG

Alastar looked over to Sabaku and did whatever the deer equivalent of shrugging is. That attack barely scraped him, not taking him out of the nineties, even though it was a super effective attack. This new sense of invincibility made Alastar's confidence raise through the roof...or canopy. For a second, his eyes flashed totally white. Following suit, but much slower, his fur began to glow too, the intensity suddenly rising and rising until it submerged the entire meadow, the two trainers shielding their eyes while Sabaku looked on, frying his irises. The flash stopped, the trainers removing their arms from their eyes and looking around. Sabaku looked around frantically, squeaking and growling in rage as her vision returned, however, lesser than what it had been.

Sabaku:
-1 ACC (100/1.25)

Alastar:
- 2 ENG

Sabaku, while frantically looking around, noticed something on her back. W-what was that? Could that have been a tail? No, Trapinch have no tail. Could it have been a blur caused by her blurred vision? Maybe, but whatever it was, Sabaku had to chase it. With no cause for concern, she began to chase her blurry blob on her back. Faster and faster and faster and faster, she continued chasing her back, that thing had to be chased. When, wait a minute, the tail-chasing started to cause a whirlwind! The leaves on the trees rustling, the loose leaves and dirt on the floor and pond were kicked up into the air. And then Sabaku realised something...there was nothing on her back! All of a sudden, she stopped and the whirlwind dissipated, turning into a gust (if the physics is wrong, I'm 16) and racing straight towards Alastar!

The gust struck Alastar, knocking him back. He cringed and then regained his stance.

3% damage done

Accuracy roll: 54 (80+ would be a miss)

Sabaku:
-2 ENG

Alastar had lost almost 10% of his total health, that was call for retaliation! Facing up to the sky, he took a deep breath of the fresh, forest air and then opened his muzzle. A small, green orb formed in his maw and started to grow at an alarming rate. The ball grew larger and larger, greener and greener until it was twice the circumference of Alastar's head. He then tilted his head forward and sent the bright, glowing ball of green energy flew forward and sent Sabaku flying backwards!

Sabaku:

Sabaku recoiled and squeaked, damn, for a Pokémon with 40 Special Attack stat, that did quite a lot of damage! It was time to stop messing around, time to stop with the special based moves. She looked over to Alastar, the smug mammal-based bastard. She glared for a moment and then rushed forward, opening her jaws wide and steaming ahead at four miles an hour. As she reached Alastar, she chomped hard. Harder than she had ever done before...

Any problems, I'm open towards criticism, I'm also open to praise. Very open. If you want someone to replace me, I'm totally fine with it. I've not reffed an ASB match properly in two years.

Round 2

The battle was now in full swing. Both Pokémon were below the 90% health mark and the trainers had finally started to be strategic. Alastar jumped back, knocking Sabaku from off of him and onto the overgrown grass of the meadow. Galloping over to the pond, he stared into it, watching his reflection. How deep was the pond? He dipped one of his hooves into it and quickly recoiled. He wandered over to another part of the pond, finding it shallower. Gladly and childishly splashed around in the water, the colour of his fur turning from pink and white to blue and white. He was now part water type!

Alastar:
-2 ENG

Sabaku watched with a smug grin on her face. The deer was splashing around in water while the battle was going on! She decided that she would use toxic while the deer was distracted. Again, it was a move centred around her jaws, lifting up her top jaw, one could see that she had coughed up phlegm, however, not the usual sickly-green colour. Oh no. This phlegm was a deep purple and black, with red veins. Aiming at the splashing deer, Sabaku spat the phlegm at Alastar. The phlegm struck him right in the face, knocking him out of the water and onto the forest floor. Some of the phlegm bounced off and into the pond, suddenly turning it into a pool of sludge.

Alastar:
TOX (2% this round)

Accuracy roll:
42

Sabaku:
-6 ENG

Alastar retched and almost vomited. He had black sludge on his face. He couldn't stop himself from retching, every time he thought about the sludge on his face, he leant forward and retched yet again. Deciding to grow up, Alastar shook his head and some of the sludge flew off, however, not most of it. He started coughing, a lump forming in his throat. Coughing and retching more, the lump moved up his throat and into his maw. Continuing to cough and retch, he spat out a large, green seed onto Sabaku. Planting itself into the side of her head and beginning to grow rapidly.

Accuracy roll:
85

Sabaku:
LCH (6% each round)

Alastar:
-2 ENG

Sabaku didn't noticed anything. Then again, why should anyone notice a massive seed growing out of the left side of your head? Anyway, she remembered her trainer's orders and a light in her eye flashed. For several seconds, nobody could see anything. It wasn't a bright white light, it was more...obscure. Blocking the way of Sabaku's creation of her double team. When the flash was over, two Sabakus were there, each with a seed growing out of the side of their head.

Sabaku:
+1 EVA
+1 CLONE
-4 ENG

Alastar looked around and yelped, there were two Sabakus! It's like a scene from a really bad film about clones, he doesn't know which one to attack! Looking at both of them, he picked the one to the left and closed his eyes. His fur stood on end as he began to glow partially white. As he closed his eyes, the light around his body dissipated and reformed infront of him as one blob. The environment around him began to shake and shiver and dance, seeds from trees falling off and into the blob. Grass too. The ball of seeds and grass revealed what Nature Power had turned into.

Seed Bomb. (This is based off of this website. If you disagree, punch me.)

The blob of seeds and grass flew towards Sabaku the second Alastar opened his eyes, striking the real Sabaku, hard.

11% damage done

Accuracy roll:
72 (1 - 80 means hit)

Alastar:
-5 ENG

Sabaku squeaked, grumbled, growled, yipped and then fell back. Wincing, she got back on all four of her feet, her copy repeating her movement, and then glared at Alastar. She charged forward, towards Alastar, her jaws opened wide, and charged towards Alastar. For a Pokémon with very low speed, she was there as quick as a wink, chomping down hard on Alastar's torso.

I guessed Leech Seed based on the game it does 1/16th of it's full health each turn.
Pond is now a pool of black sludge, falling in there means TOXIC or double your current TOXIC

[Cynder]

I thought I'd seen that before, but I couldn't remember if it was exactly right. Ref away!

[Cynder]

Woah, nice reffing... GO APPLY TO BE A PERMANANT REF. NAO.

Bug Bite ~ Crunch ~ Bug Bite

[Pichu Luver]

Nicely done Toucan. ^^ Though actually I'm supposed to go first since Cynder listed her attacks first last round. We switch order after ever reffing.

Alastar I'd like you to jump in the pond near some cat tails and use Camouflage, then use Leech Seed and Nature Power.

You're up Cynder. ^^

[Toucan Sundae]

Woah, nice reffing... GO APPLY TO BE A PERMANANT REF. NAO.

I would but I'm scared, the way the tore you apart at PFU really put me off those sort-of things ;-;

Ah, alright, thanks. I'm fine with most other rounds, I just get confused over whether you count the summoning of Pokémon as the order, or the ordering of attacks S:

Cynder, ignore your previous post and post your attacks please :3

I promise you I won't tear you apart. I just wanna see how you'd do. We can always use more refs anyway.

[Cynder]

Bug Bite ~ Focus Energy ~ Struggle Bug

[Pichu Luver]

Alright Alastar, I want you to use Odor Sleuth, Aromatherapy and position yourself so a Energy Ball knocks him into the pond.

[Cynder]

Hmm, those attacks seemed to do very little damage... Surely they should have done more than that? Anyways...

Go all out - we're losing. Create a Fissure, and use Faint Attack to sneak up behind it and push it in. Oh yeah, add increased priority with Quick Attack so that you don't hit a clone by accident. Let's hope this works...

Quick Attack + Fissure + Faint Attack

[Cynder]

Bah, I guess I shouldn't have used SE moves over powerful ones, I thought the type advantage would work in my favour. Meh. *grabs the single point and runs off to evolve Sabaku* Oh yeah, nice battle by the way PL :3

[Toucan Sundae]

So I get two points! Hells yeah

[Pichu Luver]

Bah, I guess I shouldn't have used SE moves over powerful ones, I thought the type advantage would work in my favour.

*shifty eyes* I changed my type to Water/Normal in Round 2. I be ebil.

[Cynder]

Ohshit I forgot about that ¬¬
