Quick Fire Battle! (Cynder vs. Gigya, Ref: Eragam)

[Cynder]

I want experience for a move tutor, so I'm looking for a very quick 1 on 1! I'll let the opponent choose an arena, and they'll send out and attack upon posting.

I'll be using my male Gallade Percival with steadfast.

[Gigya]

I'm game for this.
I'll bring Skeith, a shiny Charmander♂ with Blaze.
Basic arena of a open field.

Start with a Dragon Dance, then Dragon Rush and Shadow Claw

If the Gallade prepares to snatch Dragon Dance, use Double Team instead, and follow it up with Swift rather than Dragon Rush.

[EraGam]

I`ll ref!

[Cynder]

Encore ~ Earthquake ~ Psych Up

The trainers release their pokemon into the fenceless field.
A small charmander and a bulky gallade appears. At first Skeith gets a little scared of the gallade`s intimidating look, but he boosts his confidence by showing off his dance moves. Percival is actually pretty impressed and starts clapping.

Skeith -5 PP, +Attack, +Speed, *encore* for 3 turns
Percival -9 PP



Percival lifts himself into the air and lands, sending shock waves through the ground. The earth shakes violently, dust stirs up. Between the dusty clouds and trembling pebbles, Skeith continuous to dance, like it`s the only thing he knows.

Skeith -15 HP, -5 PP, +Attack, +Speed, *encore* for 2 turns
Percival -7 PP



The charmander`s feet begin to hurt from all the silly dancing. He tries to slow down, but an invisible force makes him go on. Percival watches carefully and decides to try and imitate his foe`s moves.
After the dance showdown, both of the pokemon seem very pumped up and ready for the real thing.

Percival`s eyes light up with mysterious energy and he shoots small multicolored spheres towards Skeith. However the charmander is still pretty pumped up and in his swift dancing movement, he easily dodges the threat.

Percival -4 PP
Skeith -5 PP, +Attack, +Speed



Percival begins to stomp the ground harshly, but the aftershock is not as powerful as before. The earth shakes, Skeith keeps standing, he runs up to Percy, his claws envelope in a shadowy energy and he strikes the surprised gallade.

Percival -17 HP, -5 PP
Skeith -19 HP, -5 PP, -speed



Skeith notices that Percival doesn`t like this kind of treatment, in order to fix his mistakes, Percy gets a hold of small dragon and smacks him with a glowing arm while he`s still close. Skeith, even though hurt, gives Percy a naughty grin. Percival flinches at this and he looks back at his arm. It`s bruised up pretty badly, Percival suddenly realizes how much damage he took.

Percival stomps the ground angrily, a slight tremor moves the ground. Skeith`s response is the same as before, he races towards the gallade and hits him with his powered up claws.

Percival -20 HP, -5 PP
Skeith -19 HP, -5 PP, -speed



Skeith mourns over his lost speed, but he keeps his spirit up. He runs around stretching his legs. Soon a white glow generates around his body and he charges towards Percival. The gallade is fast enough to raise large rocks from the earth and sends them flying in his way. Skeith passes the rocks, but his body gets scratched and damaged. he reaches Percival with a powerful blow.

Percival -17 HP, -9 PP
Skeith -21 HP, -5 PP



This time Percival shakes the ground very violently. Skeith covers is eyes, his feet tremble when he finally reaches Percy. He grows another pair of his trusted shadowy claws and gives his opponent a taste of his own power.

[Cynder]

Wow, this really is going quickly! xD

Earthquake ~ Stone Edge ~ Earthquake
If it uses some kind of huge combo attack use Protect.

[EraGam]

That's probably because of all the stat boosts, makes me feel like i'm cheating to get this battle finished quickly.

[Cynder]

Not a bad thing though - both of us get the benefits of a battle much more quickly! Plus I need to get two lots of experience for the moves I want, so I'll be doing another one of these soon xD

[Greyfox]

What? No you don't, Cyn. You just need to have battle experience in the current form!

Also, a completed Safari Zone quest counts as experience for the shop too.

[Cynder]

Oh, so I only need one lot of experience for two moves? Cool!

[Gigya]

Try and Aerial Ace over the Earthquake, then Shadow Claw til you're out.

Percival roars out shockwaves, the ground vibrates, the usual. Skeith attempts to make a run for it. He speeds around covering in a lightning white energy. He turns to Percy and charges. His body lightly drifts over the ground, managing to save himself from some of the damage. Percival, confused that the earthquake didn`t take him out, receives a speedy hit.

Percival -17 HP, -7 PP
Skeith -15 HP, -5 PP



The faster gallade pulls up a swift blow, slashing the almost dead Skeith with large rocks. Skeith doesn`t even bother getting up, his body is hurting too much.

[Gigya]

So close!
Ah, well. Have fun with the new move, Cynder!

[Cynder]

Thank you Gig! And you Era for reffing so quickly! Percy's going to be awesome with two new moves >
