~Oh my lawwd everyone! We're nearing the final bit of this matchup as MTC sends out has last Pokemon for this 3v3 bout! Lets see how this plays out then!

Shapeshift wastes no time analyzing his...her...uh...I mean its opponent's bodily DNA and composition and mutating itself into a perfect replica of a female Shuckle. Meanwhile Cici, the real thing, takes her time to regain her wind. Oh gee...first I get hit by rain, depriviation, and heatstroke, and now I'm seeing double.

Next, both Shuckles...I mean Pokemon fire off globs rich with noxious and acidic chemicals at each other. The globs collide in mid-air, sending the toxic chemicals flying all over the entire arena, splattering into both the Shuckles, both the imposter and the real one. The chemicals enter through their bodies, slowly eating them away in time.

The Shuckles end their turn by again going for a mirror match by sending each of their tendrils attempting to strangle each other. Cici, whose apparently the more beat of the two, is much more subdued with her assult upon the imposter Shuckle. Nevertheless, both Pokemon pull away from each other dissatisfied with their results, as neither were sucessful in prying each other's hulls.

Hey everyone. It's really humid out now, so lets start a barbeque sometime. ~

~Shapeshift, the phony yet the healthier of the two Shuckles, begins to forge several image copies of its self, each one of them surrounding Cici, the genuine yet more beaten of the pair. With six Shuckles surrounding her, and with her status at her very worst, Cici takes a risque chance and slams herself into one of the images, which fizzles up into nothingness. Her attack was in vain, as she was now wheezing heavily.

With Cici in sights, Shapeshift returned the favor my delievering a devastating shockwave across the field towards Cici, flinging the Shuckle across the field, dealing heavy damage. However, this shockwave affected the entire field, causing the rest of his copies to vanish into nothingness. Taking the only oppritunity left, Cici slammed herself into Shapeshift, chipping off as much life as possible.

Shapeshift, satisfied with its work, relaxes and takes a breather. Cici, however, isn't, and is determined to fight to the bitter end. As she continues to follow up, her body gives away and the Shuckle finally collapses upon the soft ground.~

Come back to me, Cici! *He recalls her, wiping a tear from his eye.*

Now, teach MTC a lesson - get him, Roulette! *The Pokeball opens, and an Abra steps out. As always, the Abra looks asleep, but looks deceive.*

Roulette, begin with a Thunder Wave, and then grab hold of the "Shuckle"'s body with Psychic and stretch it like Stretch Armstrong! Finally, close the distance and hit it with a Fire Punch.

Thunder Wave - Psychic (body stretch attack form) - Fire Punch

[MTC]

*Checks attacks again* No Bug attacks!! What use is a Bug without Bug attacks to beat Abras with!!

Alright Transform into Abra, then stop it picking you up with a Psychic of your own, finally hit it with a super-powered Facade attack, since you're now poisoned, paralysed and possibly burnt.

L'arc En Ciel - Shout at the Devil!!

Fwahahahahaha! A remix! Now, let's kick this into overdrive!

Shapeshift, knowing not much can be acheived in his Shuckle form, quickly shifts and mutates his genetic form into a perfect replica of Roulette. Sadly, this victory is only short lived as the real Roulette locks it up in an electrical cage, paralyzing the fake Abra sucessfully.

Roulette then continues the tempo by establishing its psychokinesis upon Shapeshift. However, the Ditto counters with its own psychic attack, breaking the hold.

Roulette breaks the gap and delievers a strong Fire Punch to the gut of the phony Abra. Shapeshift tries to fight back, yet the paralysis is just too much and Shapeshift falls over and freezes up in stasis.~

o.O didn't Psychic do any damage?

OK now use Shadow Ball, then Iron Tail, finally another Shadow Ball.

Shadow Ball ~ Iron Tail ~ Shadow Ball

[Master of Paradox]

Hmmm... time to tap into that training mission to Blackthorn, Roulette!

Begin by using Protect to block the first Shadow Ball. Then, when he closes in for the Iron Tail, blast him with a Shadow Ball of your own. Finally, duck in and smack him with an Ice Punch to close things out.

Protect - Shadow Ball - Ice Punch

[Chris Watarimono]

MTC: Psychic doesn't always have to deal damage. In that last example, Shapeshift was surrounded by Roulette's Psychic aura, so the Ditto used its own Psychic to nullify the force.

And oh for both Paradox and MTC, you might want to take a peek at our ASB Tourney that starting up very soon. There's three spots left, so be sure to join up quickly!

~Shapeshift conjures darkness energy to hurl towards Roulette, yet its muscles stiffen up in full paralysis, foiling its efforts once more. The real Abra sets up a force field which ends up blocking thin air, upsetting him as his efforts to nullify the blow was wasted.

Roulette fires off a shadow sphere of its own pushing the tempo upon the phony Abra. In response Shapeshift's tail becomes heavily condensed with steel energies as it aims towards the real Abra. Instead, his attack connects with the shadow sphere causing it to explode. The Ditto is struck by the explosion, tossing it between several small and sizzling poison pools.

Roulette's fist glows with crystalline energies as he aims for the head - only except his foot slipped upon a poison slick and he fell face first on the soft soil. With him exposed, Shapeshift charges up yet another Shadow Ball, and aims it towards the vunerable Roulette, making contact and dealing heavy damage.~

Okay, Roulette, shake out the butterflies and get your head together. We can't have a dazed Psychic, my insurance won't cover the carnage.

Begin by using Taunt, and try to rattle the Ditto. Then let off a Shock Wave before going for a KO with a Dynamic Punch!

Taunt - Shock Wave - Dynamic Punch

Shapeshift, launch some Toxic goo at him before Taunt starts to affect you, then use Shadow Ball twice.

Ah moshimo kono ore ga

~Roulette picks itself up as he begins with one of the most unorthodox techniques in Pokemon Battling. The real Abra begins posing as Shapeshift, flopping around its confined space, acting all frail and bedraggled, or just otherwise acting in various other references to Shapeshift, portraying a rather degraing (and grotesque) image of its paralysis. Shapeshift, who was attempting to gather up some of its toxins to hurl upon its opponent, became so horrifically offended, that it nearly choked and ended up spitting out its glob, as it was filled with great desire to beat the living headlights into the Psychic Pokemon.

Roulette unleashed a light stream of electricity in an arc towards Shapeshift, who countered with shadow plasma. The two attacks collided in mid-air, nullifying both blows.

Roulette's fist charged up with heavy and dense chi energies, and began rushing ftowards the phony Abra, but his fist collided directly into the eye of another one's of Shapeshift's shadow orbs, causing the real Abra to get a face-full of shadow energy in the face, and tossing him on solid ground. Meanwhile, Shapeshift cringes as the toxins within its body become severely demermential, cutting down its life energy significantly.~

OK Shapeshift, use Secret Power (If secret power is banned, tell me early enough to change it, I can't find the rules thread), then use Shadow Ball twice.

Secret Power ~ Shadow Ball ~ Shadow Ball

[Chris Watarimono]

Nah. Secret Power is fine. :3

-Chris R.

[Master of Paradox]

Ah, drat. It's a KO if my stamina hits zilch, right?

Roulette, this could be dangerous, but we have to try. Roll him into a painfully tight ball with Psychic - hopefully, this will cause Secret Power to miss if it goes off. Protect on the first Shadow Ball, then launch your own Secret Power attack on the second. The Toxic should finish him soon enough...

Psychic (roll Shapeshift into a ball) - Protect - Secret Power

~Roulette gathers his Psychic energies and utilizes them to entwine Shapeshift. Unfortunately, opposing Psychic energies present within Shapeshift's form caused Roulette's Psychic attack to repel somewhat, resulting with Shapeshift curled into an arc rather than a full-fledged ball. Shapeshift managed to pull off a brown beam of energy upon Roulette. However, its current body positioning due to the Psychic caused Shapeshift to misfire somewhat, and the attack ended up hitting Roulette's feet. The real Abra yelped in pain as the attack connected to a lesser sturdy anatomy, yet the overall damage was much less.

Shapeshift forged an orb of shadow plasma and hurled it at Roulette, hoping for sucess. And it made contact all right...upon Roulette's force field that is, parrying the attack.

Roulette fired its own brown beam of energy upon Shapeshift, who countered with more shadow plasma. The two attacks met in midair, negating each other. The poisons within Shapeshift became so violent, that it caused the poor Ditto to vomit a huge load of toxins, as its skin flashed its original pink hue. On the other side, Roulette was panting from the incrementing fatigue placed upon him.

Who will survive the next round and reign victorious? That for me to call and you guys to settle out!~

Roulette, hold it together just another turn. It's nearly done!

Take a break to start with, get your breath back. Protect from whatever he hurls at you after that, and then take another break. That should allow the Toxic to finish him off.

Take a break - Protect - take a break

[Chris Watarimono]

MTC, are you still around? Did you get my PM? This battle is at DQ time, so hurry up and post back here. You have until Friday, October 14th, to return to this thread.

-Chris R.

[Master of Paradox]

It is now 4:22 P.M. on Friday, October 14th. I do not wish to seem rude, but I request MTC's disqualification.

[Chris Watarimono]

Bah. I might as well. Shame, since I really wanted to see the conclusion.

Master of Paradox wins!

Master of Paradox wins 6 points
MTC wins 3 points
I win 6 points

Still, good efforts on both parties. I never really done a battle that stretched this long either, so it was all a cool experience all the same.

[MTC]

:redface: Stupid e-mail notifaction didn't send me an e-mail. For future refernce I don't usually see PMs as I only usually check this forum if it get an e-mail for a thread subscription, so sending me an e-mail is the only way to find me. I'd continue if you allow it, though I understand if you don't as its wayyy past the DQ.
