I'll ref if you don't mind. 1 on 1 is quite easy and your arena is simple too.

[Crystal Tears]

[font=sylfaen][color=orange] Ohhh... I've challenged o.O Odd. But none the less! I accept your challenge!

I choose... Tidus! My Male Bayleef!


Tidus
Male

Thanks for Reffing Hyper!

[TheDuke]

I choose Diglet!

She uses Fury Swipes, Earthquake, and then Dig, and stays underground.

[Crystal Tears]

[color=orange][font=sylfaen] Heh heh...

Alright Tidus! Lets go!

First, I want you to use Grasswhistle to put Diglett asleep, then use a Leech seed to sap health from that mole, finally spray a Poison Powder onto her!

Round 1
red signifies hp loss | yellow signifies energy loss | blue signifies energy gain

The Diglett is young and battle proud, eager to enter into his first battle – moving forward with enthusiasm, he takes several quick, energetic swipes out of the older, more experienced Tidus(8% - Tidus, 5% - Diglett). Calmly, Tidus whistles long and low, a sound almost below hearing range, but its effect is strangely soothing(4% - Tidus).

Diglett’s eyes start to flutter rapidly, but he tries, with an earthquake of high magnitude that shakes the ground, throwing up the turf and causing Tidus to lose his balance and fall hard on his side(7% - Tidus, 6% - Diglett). However, this is his last act of defiance before he slumps forward, deeply asleep. Tidus now has all the time in the world, and takes his time to launch the seed, that latches onto the Diglett(3% - Tidus).

Tidus now sprinkles his poison powder liberally over the prone Diglett, and the particles settle fully on the sleeping mole Pokemon(4% - Tidus). At that moment, the little seed detaches and returns to Tidus(7% - Tidus, 7% - Diglett).

[color=orange][font=sylfaen]Good reffing Hyper, just a few questions...
Leech Seed- Doesn't leech seed stay on the opponent? o_O And doesn't it return HP?
Attacks- Why does it say Tidus is using Digletts attacks and vice versa? Probably just a mistake but its odd.
Energy- Why am I still at 100 energy? o_o

Other then that, its fine...

Alright Tidus, lets use this free time to use Double Team to heighten our defense ok? Then, use a Mighty Guard (Light Screen + Reflect) to weaken whatever attacks it can throw at you.

Double Team ~ Mighty Guard

[TheDuke]

All right, so she managed to put you to sleep, no worries!

First, use Snore to show her we still mean business!
Next, plan a Sleep Talk!
Finally, (hoping you have woken up by now) try to use Dig, and stay underground for a while!

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

Haha, I think I was stoned last night, but I will attempt to answer the questions;

Leech Seed- Doesn't leech seed stay on the opponent? o_O And doesn't it return HP?

No, Leech Seed returns to the owner after a while, and it only saps energy ( I use the attack list as a reference point)

Attacks- Why does it say Tidus is using Digletts attacks and vice versa? Probably just a mistake but its odd.

This one is definitely my mistake. Sorry. I'll edit it

Energy- Why am I still at 100 energy? o_o

Tidus used 7% but Leech Seed gave him back 7%. So your energy is still 100%

Expect your battle reffing within 6 hours. >.<

Round 2
red signifies hp loss | yellow signifies energy loss | blue signifies energy gain

Surprisingly, Diglett awakes, and blinks his eyes sleepily, looking around the battlefield, and shudders as he feels the first feel twinges of the poison(3% - Diglett). Tidus shimmers, and a whole barrage of clones seems to surround the still groggy Diglett(5% - Tidus).

With no actions planned, Diglett remains still, whereas Tidus performs a tiring Mighty Guard that encases him behind a shimmering wall of pure energy(8% - Tidus). However, Diglett finally seems to come to his senses, and he burrows rapidly out of sight, and suddenly, bursting out of the earth to crash into Tidus before returning back into the ground(6% - Tidus, 5% - Diglett). Tidus is shaken, but remains on his feet, still behind the barrier of the mighty guard that he created. Diglett’s head pops out of the dirt some distance away, still warily eying his opponent.

OK, fist of all, stay under the gound for a while longer.
Then come out, and use Screech, followed by a Slash!

[Crystal Tears]

[color=orange][font=sylfaen] AHAHA! I see a fault in your plan!

Tidus, Diglett should be confused because its not underground and yet he ordered to to stay there, so exploit that chance and hit it hard with a Razor Leaf! Brace yourself for Screech, and then afterwards run up to it and use Giga Drain to drain it. Slash isn't out big worry because of our Mighty Guard, so hit it hard and fast with a powerful Frenzy Plant! If Diglett goes underground on his first turn, then create a slightly weaker Earthquake by using Iron tail and slamming the ground.

Round 3
red signifies hp loss | yellow signifies energy loss | blue signifies energy gain | green signifies hp gain

The Diglett blinks for a few moments in confusion as he processes the orders to stay underground. Tidus, having battled before, wastes no opportunity to release several fast, hard hitting Razor Leaves that slam into the Diglett with no mercy(15% - Diglett, 6% - Tidus).

Belatedly, the Diglett attempts to pull his head underground, but remembers that he has a next attack, and he emits a long, nerve breaking resounding screech that resonates around their empty battlefield(4% - Diglett). Tidus is shaken, but relatively sound, and he moves on to the life draining Giga Drain, snaking out a long tentacle that touches the Diglett gently, replenishing himself while hurting the ground mole(14% - Diglett, 5% - Tidus, 7% - Tidus)

Trying to salvage something out of this round, Diglett makes his way towards the enshielded Tidus, and slashes down wildly, breaking through the barrier, but barely scratching the protected Pokemon(2% - Tidus, 7% - Diglett). Tidus on the other hand concentrates hard, and Diglett finds himself surrounded by a mass of furiously whipping tentacles that come down hard upon him repeatedly(18% - Diglett, 10% - Tidus). Panting heavily, Tidus feels tired for the first time in this match, but triumphant at the massive damage that he has caused this round. Diglett on the other hand is feeling the pain of his wounds and also the poison continues its deadly rampage through his body(4% - Diglett)

[Crystal Tears]

[color=orange][font=sylfaen] Alright Tidus, You need a break, so take one. Just Relax this turn, we're better off then that Diglett anyways. Then Add to your Mighty Guard and use Safeguard, on our last action lets use a Razor Leaf, unless he's underground, then just Relax again.

Relax ~ Safeguard ~ Razor Leaf/Relax

[TheDuke]

OK, Diglett, things aren't looking so well, but we can still win this!

Since we have some extra time because Tidus is tired, use it to attack with Slash once again! Then, try to counter his defensive strategy with another Screech, then quickly Dig once again to avoid the upcoming attack!

Slash, Screech, and Dig.

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

TheDuke, you didn’t specify what you wanted Diglett to do, so I presume you wanted him to attack with dig?

Round 4
red signifies hp loss | yellow signifies energy loss | blue signifies energy gain | green signifies hp gain

Tidus settles down to relax, and Diglett is more than happy to attack, moving forward happy, and with a powerful strike, he breaks through the remains of Tidus’ protection, and makes contact(7% - Tidus, 5% - Diglett, 5% - Tidus).

Tidus is now ready to perform his safeguard, but even as the white aura starts to glow around him, Diglett releases a truly ear rending screech that more or less shatters Tidus’ concentration, and the white aura flickers, only a weak, basic protection that won’t be able to prevent much damage(5% - Tidus, 5% - Diglett).

Diglett’s head quickly pops underground while Tidus glares at him. Seeing that his opponent is out of sight, Tidus relaxes again(6% - Tidus). Out of the ground, the Diglett suddenly bursts, tearing easily through the safeguard, knocking Tidus on his underbelly before disappearing again underground to appear, yet again, nearby, his two eyes blinking rapidly(5% - Tidus, 5% - Diglett).

the hole beneath Tidus just got bigger

[TheDuke]

That was a great round Diglett, good job! Now, let's see if we can keep it up!

Start off with a Sand Attack so Tidus won't be able to see you. Then use another fury swipes, then followed by a Slash.

[Crystal Tears]

[color=orange][font=sylfaen] Alright Tidus, lets show this Diglett what we got. First Close your eyes to shield them from sand attack and use Reflect. Then, after fury swipes, charge a fire a Solar Beam! Then, lets finish off with one of our favourite moves: Frenzy Plant.

Reflect ~ Solar Beam ~ Frenzy Plant

Round 5
red signifies hp loss | yellow signifies energy loss | blue signifies energy gain | green signifies hp gain

Diglett slashes at the ground quickly, and a cloud of sand at grit flies right at Tidus, who calmly shuts his eyes, his reflect barrier already set up(4% - Diglett, 6% - Tidus).

The dust clears, leaving Tidus unharmed, and Diglett charges forward to slash furiously at the plant pokemon several times, the thin and fading reflect barrier giving only minimal protection(7% - Tidus, 5% - Diglett). However, Tidus soon has his revenge, for while he was being attacked, he was already charging up, and he releases a full blown Solarbeam that slams into Diglett’s body with no mercy(17% - Diglett, 7% - Tidus).

Diglett is badly shaken, but he perseveres, slashing Tidus viciously(10% - Tidus, 5% - Diglett). Tidus returns the favour almost immediately, and Diglett finds himself surrounded by what seems like a sea of tentacles, weaving around precariously, striking down at him repeatedly(17% - Diglett, 9% - Tidus).

Well, Diglett, you were really good this match, but this has gone far enough. It's time for us to accept defeat.

We forfeit the match.

That was an awesome fight, Crystal Tears, and Hyperness, thanks for the great reffing!

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

Thanks TheDuke.. I hope this loss won't discourage you(she had the type advantage and experience)... have a nice time in ASB =)
