[Rapamon2]

Beforekamory-90% condition: paralized Kirlia-87%condition: almost perfect
We watch as more people open their windows and watch the fight.more people come down here to fell the tense air. The female Kirlia watches and dances while she watches her opponent struggle. The match looks like its over. Torqe tries to get up but falls back down. I start to wave my flag when... Slowly, very carefully, the unbeileiveable Torqe gets back up! The battle continues!!

Kirlia, with a little more speed, goes first. An incredible wave soars through the air and flys over to the winded skamory.It seems almost about to hit when... the one Torqe becomes two... and then two becomes 3. The Kirlia quickly brings her wave back. She sends it to one of them, but it seems to go right through. She brings it back again and sends it to anothor, but it seems to go right through again. The poor Kirlia was so confused she didn't even try the last one!!! She abondoned the psywave and used future Sight. Her hands rested on her head for a while and then came off and enclosed to a fist.The concentration of future sight seemed to have brought her back to earth.Her hands turned bright red and was about to punch when.. she entered a different world only her and Torqe. She no longer had the need to destroy him, in fact, she loved him. She didn't attack.


Torqe had made the Kirlia fall for his spell. He realized his work was done, at least for now. It was very hard and Torqe almost fell. He had concentrated very hard. He regained hid balance. He flew up high, ready to charge. Torqe ascened higher, higher, higher until his wings almost gave in on him. When at the highest point, Torqe charged downwards for the drill peck attack.Unfortunately, thats when Torqe's parylis tapped in. While comeing back down at full speed, Skamory froze while in midair. To bad for Torqe because so did his wings, so he couldn't keep himself up. luckily, he landed right on the Kirlia, and the heavy bird landed on top. This created little damage for the skamory, but large for the Kirlia.

After: Skamory-90% condition-Paralized Kirlia 70% condition: very hurt

o_o

I... got reff of the month?

Dude... I am... happy. ^^

tyness. And sorry it took me so long to reply. I've been running all over the place.

^^ I have money!!! ^_____^

Anyways.. I don't know if I can offer my services but..

Rapamon, before the actual discription of the battle. People usually appreciate information. You should put the stats of the pokemon before the discription, and the moves listed. This makes it easier of the battlers, and the ref alike.
BTW, Skarmory can't be magically healed from being paralized, actually, all through the battle it would effect the way he moves, and battles.

Hope I was of some help.

Anyways, I should update.

[Rapamon2]

Thanks a lot. Your not a Mod but your very helpful. I'll make the changes and hopefully I'll be approved afterwards. Thanks again.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Still not approved.

The points that Crystal tears brough up are valid, but you also misordered the attacks. Torque was asked to use Double Team last, instead you had it use it first. You also had Kiralia use Psywave three times. Once initially, then two more times against the clones. That would equal three attacks, and is not what was ordered. On top of that you used the nickname Torque but never the species name Skamory, and the species name Kiralia but never the nickname Demeter. Variation makes for an interesting read, and helps people follow the battle as well.

I think you should stop trying to get approved for a while until you have stayed and experienced ASB for a little while longer. Try again at the start of November.

[Rapamon2]

Okay, but if you read it, i said Kirlaia brought the wave back and threw it again. Also, i think that even though i spelled the nick wrong, they would know what i mean. The only thing wrong really was the order, which many approved reffs get wrong(i've seen it). Look at thest facts and tell me why im not approved

Twice

Three times a charm!

The order was Psywave. Not Psywave until you hit the target. If someone orders an attack, it should be used once. In this case, the Psywave should have contiued, and either hit Skamory and done damage or hit a clone and just break the clone. The point I brought up had nothing too do with the spelling of the nicknames, instead it was that you could have alternated between nickname and species. You says Tourque all the way through, but didn't list that Torque was Skamory. Had you done the same with Demeter/Kiralia, people wouldn't know who was battling who. Lastly, if you can find examples of refs that have made a mistake, please list them here with links to the mistakes. However, people who do not make mistakes in the mock reffings are more likely to get approved than those who DO make mistakes.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Shouldn't double post, but it's a new month and as such there is a new Mock Battle and a new Mock Contest. Check out the first page for both.

[Rapamon2]

Yes i did, plenty of times,

1) Before stats

2) After stats

3) Skamory froze in midair

4) flys over to the winded skamory

[RaZoR LeAf]

Stop trying to defend your battle. You are not approved. End of.

[Rapamon2]

Wow. im not defending my battle. If you lie about what i type, then im probobly going to back it up. Just because you are a Moderater doesn't mean that you can approve who the people you like and say You are not approved. End of to people you dislike even if they havn't made the mistake you pretended they did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RaZoR LeAf]

Rapamon2 - Please do not accuse me of favouritism, because I do not indulge in it. I would disapprove anyone who didn't deserve it, even if they were my blood. Now just stop making excuses and accept the fact that you are not approved as a ref.

[Rapamon2]

If you don't play favorates, why'd you say i made a mistake i dind't make?

[Chris 2.1]

It's opinion. Razor Leaf has been in ASB for a very long time, and has developed a sense for knowing who deserves to be an ASB ref. It takes a lot of different elements for one to be a ref, but you are not approved. I have said so and so has Razor Leaf. As the moderators here it is our judgement which counts towards approval or decline and we have put our foot down.

Now please, this has gone on long enough. Rapamon2 I am dissapointed in your behavior. I expected better of you.

[The_Missing_Link]

First of all, your grammar needs tons of work. And to battlers, a good reffing should be enjoyable to read. Also, I don't think Kirlia can bring a wave back and throw it out again. Even if it can, it counts as another action. And many approved refs don't get the order wrong. Don't tell me they do because my fours years of ASB experiences outclasses yours and I know how a ref does their work

Listen to Chris and take his criticisms in. You need a lot of help and observing other refs will do you well

Chris 3.12 vs ViNeWhIp (Round 3)
Anonomos (male Electabuzz) vs Sparkz (genderless Magneton)

Arena: Concrete arena.

Before stats
Anonomos: 92% Poisoned
Sunny Day-Fire Punch-Brick Break

Sparkz: 72%
Rain Dance-Teleport-Metal Sound

The battle is still unfolding around us in the Concrete arena, scorch marks already blackening the floor from where these two electric titans have been duking it out. Floating on one side, the genderless autoform known as Sparkz floats, tired and a bit tarnished from the battle. It's trainer ViNeWhIp grits his teeth slightly. This is going to be a bit tougher then expected.

Across the way, Anonomos the Electrabuzz shivered slighty as he felt the poison course though his body. While in better condition then his opponent, it was only a matter of time before his condition worsened. His trainer, the elite Chris 2.0 Stands underneath the oddly glowing florescent lights with capable ease. He already knows what his next move shall be, and with a cordial nod to his opponent the battle begins.

Anonomos moves first. Issuing a tremendous roar he begins to bounce and shake around the arena, low rumbling pleas for sunshine and light. The ritual dance seems to work also, for suddenly the lights in the concrete arena brighten, flashing so that both trainers most cover there eyes.

Not to be outdone, Sparkz begins to swirl, the mangeton moving with such subtle grace that for an instant he seems as etherical as the clouds themselves. His dance also seems to work, for soon the elements of nature are battling each other. In certain areas whispy clouds form simply to be dissolved with the heat that beats down. Other areas the lights dim and soft raindrops begins to run from an unknown leak.

Miffed that his sunshine has been taken away, the Electrabuzz gives off another bellow of pure rage as he flings forward, fire licking around his fist from the electrical discharge. However when he brings his fist down, all the fire slams into is the floor. Puzzled, he turns around to see the Magnet Automaton appear on the otherside of the arena, magnets still swirling. Sparkz seems to smirk, if magnets had mouths of course, and While Anonomos is still confused over where it has gone...lets out the most gut-wrenching sound.

The sound is deep, low...the sound of drills next door, or metal being pounded in a factory. Its a sound that vibrates in your gut and makes you want to puke. The sound travels and fills the arena, hitting the poor buzzsaw pokemon and causing his already poisoned body even more discomfort as the vibrations shake up his stomach.

In a desperate attempt to shut it up, Anonomos flings his hands forward in one swift motion, closing the distance between them, but its just too much space, and that sound has just made him too sick. With a weazy growl he slips halfway there, collapsing on his knees to stop from puking.

End of Round Stats!
Anonomos (Electrabuzz Male)-77% and Really Ill...plus Poisoned (Nearing Fatigued)
Sparkz (Magneton Non)-72% and standing in a puddle of water
Other news: Gee, the weather has settled into a muggy humid stew which will soon have everyone sweating.

EDIT- sorry, forgot to put the ending to a color tag

[Chris 2.1]

Deus: Good work. Electabuzz took slightly too much poison damage but it certainly didn't spoil. Very good use of language and very nicely structured. I'll say Rookie, but keep it up and you'll be promoted to Intermediate.

Round 3

It didn't take to long for Round three of this fearsome fight between two similar typed Pokemon to get underway.

A Large, almost cat like yellow creature stood on the opposing end of the Concrete arena, starring down the grey battlefield to an odd Pokemon which looked like three metal balls that had been lazily glued together.

This cat like Pokemon was covered in black stripes, and had formidable looking fists that were clenched together due to anger, frustration, and pain caused from the unseen purple liquid that now ran through his veins and started its effect on the Pokemon's heart.

The Three Metal balls chanted monotone, harmonic noises that floated through the almost completely empty arena. In an odd show of strength, the small creatures spun their magnets, and narrowed their eyes in defiance. They knew they had a health disadvantage, but with the recent turn of events, they might stand a chance.

Anonomos, the yellow cat Pokemon started off first. Clenching his fists, and facing his face to the sky, he called out for the divine fury of the heavens, for the blistering heat of the desert, for the power, of the Sun.

Sparkz, narrowed all his eyes, and looked up at the sky. It was surprised, by what events were taking place in the heavens. Which in actual fact was nothing. Anonomos's Sunny Day wasn't taking in effect, in fact, Anonomos, and his trainer Chris 3.12 must have forgotten... Electabuzz cannot learn Sunny Day.

Letting out a slightly louder, fiercer call, Sparkz, the Magneton, began to call upon the infernal wrath of the ocean.
Slowly the clouds returned, the temperature began to drop, and rain began to pour down upon the surface of the ground, which was covered in hard, cold, unforgiving concrete.

Rain dance was taking its toll upon the battefield, as it began to pour mercifully down on both pokemon, Sparkz watched in relative ease as the rain dripped off its metal hide.

Slightly disappointed, but relatively unaffected by the change in weather, Anonomos clenched his left palm into a fist, that soon sparked a flame, and was a blaze. Though the rain diminished most of the flame, there just enough to still give a good whopping to Sparkz, who watched rather devoid of all emotion as Anonomos charged down the concrete field, left head ready to strike.

Sparkz was concentrating, attempting to use the powers from beyond to faze out of reality for a short moment, but all it really accomplished was leaving itself a little to open for Anonomos, who immediately took advantage of the situation and slammed his hard fist into the upper magnet, denting the poor creatures body.

Now that both Trainers had forgotten that some moves their Pokemon just can't learn. They began to focus back into reality, realizing some moves that were actually possible.

Chris ordered his trusty Electabuzz to use a powerful brick break upon the poor damaged body of Sparkz, who would've widen its eyes if they weren't permanently the size of baseballs.

ViNeWhIp counters almost immediately, crying out to his dented Pokemon to use a Metal Sound to Throw off the Brick break, and safe itself from anymore-potential beatings.

Raising his Right arm towards the cloudy sky above, Anonomos cries out his name with all his might, and soon, his fist is glowing with internal power born from his warrior soul. He glances evilly at Sparkz who just glares back in annoyance.

Sparkz watches as Anonomos comes once more barreling down the battlefield, again, a fist ready to strike its own beautiful, curved, graceful body. In pure annoyance, Sparkz unleashes a horrific sound that slams into the yellow cat's eardrums painfully. Causing it to stop and cover its ears, totally forgetting about its own plans to create another massive dent in Sparkz's body.

As it stands now, Sparkz is dented, and rather annoyed. While Anonomos is only begin to recover from the painful metal sound, and it hunching over due to the Toxic, which attacks its very heart.
Who will when this battle? No body knows, stay tuned for Round 4!

I hope I didn't get anything wrong, but Magneton doesn't learn Teleport (Or atleast serebii's pokedex, and pokemon elites doesn't state this). Another thing, Electabuzz doesn't learn Sunny Day. Again, I check serebii and pokemon elites, but apparently, they don't learn those move stated.
If I'm wrong I apologize. Sorry for any inconvience.

[Chris 2.1]

Haruko: Good work. Electabuzz cannot learn sunny day, you're right, which is something I am glad you picked up on. That was put in to see whether Refs check on movesets or not. Obviously 99% of the time your battlers will check attacks but sometimes they wont. This skill at identifying movesets is something which you should make sure to sustain if you ever want a promotion.

But Magneton can lean teleport via RBY TM. A slightly difficult one to know but useful nonetheless.

Your description can be less, though - long isnt always good. It was detailed but some things we didnt need to know, like the descriptions of the Pokemon as that is covered when they are first sent out usually.

You are approved at Rookie level.

http://pokedex.kary.ca/rsdex.txt

Pre-contest preparations

Silence pervades the grassy field, a warm, sleepy breeze the only witness to the peaceful scene. It whispers through the blades of new grass, running over them like tender waves across a rippling ocean floor. The field extends for acres, mounds and mounds of green rolling hills without trees for miles. Only a few clouds hover above, mostly giving way to a dark blue evening sky. The sun’s golden-orange rays still escape from behind the outlined clouds, just enough light for what must soon take place.

One by one, spectators start arriving, gathering quietly as if reluctant to disturb the peace of the quiet meadow. They stand around the slightly elevated area that has been marked as grounds touchable only by the special few who will have that privilege.

Murmurs amongst the crowd dissipate when four people, accompanied by their champions, enter the scene in single file – a serious procession, its members in a confident gait, proud to be the ones who march. And then, the silence breaks.

Cheers! Applause! Lauds and praise!

These four trainers, with their pokémon, will participate in the soon-to-be-held contest. They examine their opponents and await their order of appeals.

Coal Miner Herbert, a portly, heavily-built man, grins at his pokémon. The strange red-nosed figure, a shadow of a relic from some ancient, now forgotten island, takes confidence from his master. He is determined to demonstrate his toughness – everyone will cheer for Herbert and his Nosepass.

Beach Comber Beth raises her Castform in her arms, embracing her once last time before the games begin. They both appear nervous, yet excited and hopeful. Beth touches her Castform to her cheek, and the small cream pokémon makes an affectionate sound, closing her glassy black bead eyes as if preparing for the contest to come.

Fortune Teller Gem seems a mysterious one. At first, her pokémon is not visible, until the crystal-eyed ghost reveals himself, floating over his trainer’s head. Determination flashes across the Shuppet’s face, the sinister twinkling in his eye foreshadowing the battle he is preparing to fight.

Bug Catcher Ted trails behind, definitely not accustomed to appearing at the center of attention of such crowds. He carries his gray Pineco in his arms, slightly bent in posture, skinny frame plagued by shivers – but there is no doubt that they will try their best to prevail.

The order is decided by the judges, and when the contestants find out, they hasten to the stage, assuring themselves and their pokémon that everything will turn out all right.

Gem and her Shuppet will perform first, followed by Herbert and the Nosepass, then Ted and his Shuppet, and finally, Beth and Castform.

Pokémon Contest - Round 1

Appeal – Gem and Shuppet

To an inexperienced eye, Shuppet may appear frozen with anxiety; in reality, he has entered a deep trance of concentration. The task that Gem has entrusted him with is not at all simple. Yet, if successful, it can rank him at the very top…

Stealthily, silently, little balls of flame collect in the air before him, dark, shadowy blue fire that groups into a long chain and creeps across the sky like a centipede. It slinks into place, forming a sinister glowing ring.

To send a projectile through this ring, Shuppet must create it, aim, and launch, all while maintaining his dark flame. He is sure that he cannot do all of these things at once, at least, not without compromise. But he does not wish to let his trainer down – he must push himself. But how? He concludes that the ring of fire is the most important thing, and that his ball must only pass through it – hence nobody will pay much attention to the actual ball. Making sure not to lose his focus on the flames before him, Shuppet musters the smallest orb of darkness possible, thrusting it through the fire.

And then he realizes that he has made a mistake. A ball that small will be difficult to hit; Shuppet silently scolds himself for failing to see ahead. Still, the first phase of his performance has succeeded, and he needs to try to complete it. He needs to act soon; gravity will take over the energy-charged ball, for it has a solid core. A full lightning strike, the type used in battles, could not be summoned quickly enough. Despite the light effort he puts into the thundering stream of electricity, it manages only to brush against the small projectile; when both energies meet, they birth a spark of radiant violet and go their separate ways.

Score: 7.7

Appeal – Herbert and Nosepass

The inconvenient thing about grassy fields is the lack of very large rocks. Nosepass must improvise if he wishes to carry out his master’s plan; frustrated but needing to act quickly lest he bore the judges, he uproots patches of grass close by and attempts to pack the earth together. Unfortunately it is dry, and he does not think it a good idea to use his spit since it might be a cause for disgust. Grimacing, he tosses the dirt into the air, allowing it to land in a spread oval around his body.

Nosepass examines the clumps of dirt, noting its exact position. When he travels quickly, he will still have his sight on this particular spot.

He runs towards the outer boundaries of the stage and locks himself into a ball, rolling around and around to gather speed, heading always inwards, to the very center, where he had previously placed the pile of dirt. He eventually hits the mound of earth, scattering it in an outwards perimeter across the stage as he pulls himself to a stop. Nosepass springs out of his curled position, lying on the stage obviously embarrassed and disappointed.

Score: 6.0

Appeal – Ted and Pineco

Fondly remembering his trainer tease him about being too prickly to hold, Pineco performs his first phase with a slight look of amusement. Spikes spread across the contest stage, a threat to those with padded paws, but no concern for the hardy Pineco.

A subtle swirl of earth forms the beginnings of a small whirlwind around the pokémon. Dark grains of dirt, carried by the wind, accentuate the shape of the earthen conical spiral.

When the audience has had time to appreciate the tossing blades of grass and earth, Pineco seeks to improve on his whirlwind by spinning himself, encouraging the twister to swirl faster and faster and faster, until he gets out of breath and ends triumphantly with the vanishing of the dust and grass.

Score: 7.8

Appeal – Beth and Castform

Clear crystals fall from the sky. The evening sun, slowly melting the falling droplets, casts a golden glow upon the shining ice, Castform a white snowflake in the middle of the hail. Little rainbows glitter subtly as one gazes over the expanse of raining crystals.

Castform sends specks of fire into the sky, which, upon touching the icy shards, melt away the rainbows and fall to the ground in glittering amber pieces to settle as ash onto the stage.

Then, a glowing body, followed by a blinding light – one that seems to combine the shine of the crystal hail and the rainbows and the sun’s evening rays and burning embers that gave off brilliance and faded as quickly as they came, glimpses of ephemeral beauty.

Score: 9.0

Final results (Round 1):

Rating 9.0 – Beth and Castform proceed to the next round.
Rating 7.8 – Ted and Pineco proceed to the next round.

Trying for a rookie ref,

Chris 3.12 vs ViNeWhIp (Round 3)
Anonomos (male Electabuzz) vs Sparkz (genderless Magneton)

Arena: Concrete arena.

Pre-round stats
Anonomos: 92% Poisoned
Sunny Day-Fire Punch-Brick Break

Sparkz: 72%
Rain Dance-Teleport-Metal Sound

The two trainers signal to the ref that they are ready. The ref raises the flag, offically starting the 3rd round of action between Anonomos, the male Electabuzz, and Sparkz, the genderless Magneton.

Anonmomos begins the action, or at least he tries to. He beckoned to the sky, expecting the hot sun to break out, instead the attack is useless. Anonmomos turns to his trainer as if to ask what is happening. That is when Chris remebers that Electabuzz cannot learn Sunny Day and he kicks himself, knowing he wasted an attack. Sparkz however beckons to the sky aswell, and begins to use a move that a Magneton can actually learn. Instead of the bright sun coming, a giant downpour of rain comes down on the trainers and pokemon.

Anonmomos, a little annoyed after last round, gets ready to attack by charging his fist with fire and running right at Sparkz ready to attack. Meanwhile Sparkz just stands there and closes its eyes as if to concentrate," All I have to do is teleport out of the way, and it will be another wasted attack" thinks Sparkz. However when Sparkz opens its eyes, Anonmomos is right in front of it, and hits Sparkz head on with his fist of fire. Anonmomos had the type advantage, but with the water weaking the fire attack, the damage was minimimal. Now Sparkz finds itself staring at its trainer, wondering why the attack failed. vinNeWhIp realizes that he made the same mistake as Chris, ordering a move that his pokemon can not learn.

Anomomos perpares for his next attack, concentrating his energy and getting ready to a deliver a blow to Sparkz. As he approaches Sparkz, Sparkz emits a very loud pinging noise, which reflects off the concrete, and forces everyone in the surronding area to cover their ears. Anomomos could not complete the attack, but is okay after the loud sound. He cannot avoid the damage from the poision that damages him from the inside.

Post-round stats

Anomomos, the male Electabuzz: 88% health, poisioned(4% next round)

Sparkz, the genderless Magneton, 68% health, fine

Arena: pouring rain( 2 more rounds)

[RaZoR LeAf]

Your damage calculations look fine. You are right that Elecatbuzz cannot learn Sunny Day, but Magneton CAN learn Teleport if you go back to the early Pokedex of Red/Blue/Yellow. Be sure to check a variety of pokedexes if they don't list all the games.

~~~~~

Skrusti, making sure both participants have called out their attacks, raises his special reffing flags to signal the beginning of round 3 in this match.

Sparkz watches, laughing to itself with a bzzzzz sound as his Electabuzz opponent bellows and roars defiantly at the sun, willing it to come out. However, a large sweatdrop soon appears on the Electric-type as he remembers he can't do anything about the sun. He turns to glare at his trainer, who yells out "Sorry!"

This isn't the end, however. Hovering in the air, Sparkz begins an erratic dance, willing the Rain to fall. Clouds begin to darken the sky, and soon, a light drizzle falls. Anonomos, now soaking wet, continues to glare at his trainer. He's not very happy right now.

*Poof!* Opening an umbrella, Skrust continues to ref the match.

Rushing as fast as his Electabuzz feet can carry him, Anonomos begins to form fire-type energy on his fist, wanting nothing more than to smash his opponent in its many faces with it. However, the drizzle-turned-downpour puts a damper onto his plans as the Flames forming around his fist beging to weaken. When he finally reaches Sparkz, Anonomos swings mightily, but is astonished to see his fist only hit air.

Laughing another Magneton laugh, Sparkz appears yards away, having just used a Teleport. Buzzing with pleasure, Sparkz then concentrates, and soon, that horrible, horrible sound is heard.

Yup. Dial-up!

The evil sound of Metal Sound makes Anonomos cover his ears in pain. Nobody likes that sound. In fact, the ref himself is writhing in pain! Anyway, even more pleased with this turn of events, Sparkz continues his evil Magneton laugh of evilness o.o;;

*Extremely* pissed off by the audacity of Sparkz, Anonomos concentrates and gathers energy into his right hand. Pushes himself off the ground and lands near the Magneton, which just stares, and then screeches in pain as its Electabuzz enemy slams its hand into the side of one of its heads. It falls to the ground, severly injured, but manages to pick itself up off the ground, glaring at its enemy.

Anonomos, glad he finally did something, gasps as poison rips through his body once more.

End of round 3

After stats

Arena: Raining, drenching everything in sight.

Anonomos: 89% Poisoned, glaring at opponent, *was* glaring at his trainer. Still a bit mad at his trainer for commanding something he couldn't do.

Energy: Still plenty of it! 84% left.


Sparkz: 63% Disoriented, one of its 3 heads has a blaring headache.

Energy: 78% left.

Ref stats: *still* Disoriented, *still* trying his best to remember *how* to ref >.< Holding out umbrellas to both combatants so they can stay dry.

Mock Contest!

In this Mock Contest we have four wonderful *cough* trainers stepping up for their chance to be the prettiest prince or princess in the land! The grass is green, the sky is blue, the wind slight and a nice 27 degrees! The crowd in the stands are excited as the first of the four trainers steps up onto the arena.

Coal Miner Herbert has certainly scrubbed up for this contest, there's not a dark smudge on him! With a press of the Pokeball, a large grey Pokemon with a pink magnetic nose appears in front of the crowd with a cry. Nosepass concentrates and with a small jump, a great deal of energy is sent into the earth as four large chunks of earth fly into the sky. The audience gasps as Nosepass sits concentrating... locking on with his magnetism... before quickly spinning right into the middle of the four rocks as they crash down around him. The audience sits on the edge of their seats, unable to see Nosepass, and unsure if its ok. A dissapointing end to a good start.

Final Score - 5.7

With some quick help from Dugtrio, the earth is repaired. The next Pokemon trainer who steps up is Beach Comber Beth. At the age of 70, she was around during the advent of bikinis... and is still unfortunately right now. With a wobble of skin, Beth releases Castform whom glows an icy blue, before becoming encased in ice. During the following 30 seconds, the sky becomes an eery green and begins pelting down ice! The audience certainly doesn't like this turn of events as they too are pelted. Castform, however, releases a small barrage of fire into the hail, turning some to rain rather uneventfully. Then, as a final result, releases a Flash which slightly illuminates the icy hail, but simply annoys the audience more.

Final Score - 3.2

Fortune Teller Gem takes the stage as the hail clears up and its back to clear skies. At her side, Shuppet appears. A small purple hanky, but they seem ready. Shuppet gives a ghostly shriek as she releases a circle of blue flames into the air. Charging up a Shadow Ball, she fires off the ball of darkness, weakened by its time in the sun through the circle, the power sending the flames scattering. Finally, with a good electrical column of power, the shadow ball explodes as a thunder hits it, dissapating the darkness. Very well done, weakened only by the time of day.

Final Score - 7.8

The final trainer takes the stage, Bug Catcher Ted and he's ready to go. By the looks of it too, so is Pineco! The small green Pokemon initially leaps up and releases a variety of black spikes all around itself. With a bit of concentration, Pineco begins to spin again, creating a ditch of sand, of which its in the middle of, obscuring it from view. As a finisher, Pineco uses Rapid Spin! The vortex of power picks up the sand and shiny black spikes, swirling it around Pineco rather impressively as a small amount of sand and spikes almost hits the front row.

Final Score - 7.2

Or final two combatants are Pineco and Shuppet!

Pineco posts attacks first thanks!

I have no idea where Syberia is, but this battle has been left over for over a month or two.

Could Syberia (or anyone that wants to subref) want to ref this? Thanks!

Here: VS Darkfire

[Chris 2.1]

Andrew: Hmm interesting. Nice to see you had the weather effecting the audience, that factor is something many people never take into consideration. I'll put you as an expirienced judge for the time being. But that was a good one.

Chris: I can try, if you like. If I do, can you ref me VS Charles Legend?
