[Ace64]

Hehe..I saw 'Pupa', and I was thinking of bugs, y'know, the lil' white maggoty things...Bah. Stupid dead language.

[aragornbird]

"Kay, you did a great job, Manwë. Now I choose Maeglin, my Male Grovyle!

Leaf Blade first, then bite it with Crunch, and then turn that bite into a Giga Drain.

Leaf Blase - Crunch - Giga Drain

If it uses Ice Beam, use Sunny Day to lessen the blow, then continue with what attacks you have. Swagger any defensive moves.

[Chris 2.1]

Psybeam to stun it, then when it crunches down (thats gotta hurt...Claydols all rocky) use rapid spin to throw it off. Finish with earthquake

Round Nine, Begin!

The ref respectively withdraws his comment on Chris' naming skills, as Aragornbird sends a fresh Grovyle to the field, alias Maeglin. As both trainers shout their orders, the ref wonders if the elves' decision to leave Earth had anything to do with how difficult their names sound.

Maeglin starts off first, taking off a quick pace. Still, one can never outrun mental skill. Terrapupa fires a bright violet bolt of mental energy, striking Maeglin in the torso. (9% damage, -5% energy) Maeglin grunts, her speed dropping, but continues forward nevertheless, slashing with his arm-blades as he passes by. (10% damage, -5% energy)

Maeglin pivots and lunges for the Claydol, who seems to be...just standing there. Perhaps it is amazed at the Grovyle's awesome speed? Whatever the reason, Maeglin sinks his teeth into Terrapupa's side, which is MUCH harder than it looks. (10% damage, -6% energy) Suddenly, Terrapupa begins to revolve, faster and faster. Maeglin's body lifts up into the air as he tries to keep his grip, but his body's weight on his teeth is too much to bear. He loses his grip and a few teeth as he flies to the ground in a heap, a bit dizzy. (7% damge, -3% energy)

Woozy, Maeglin climbs to his feet, remembering his last orders. His blades glow a bright emerald, and without a thought, he jabs them into the Claydol's body, impaling it.(11% damage, -5% energy, +5HP) Angry and in pain, Terrapupa falls to the ground, creating a shockwave of tremors which knocks Maeglin to the floor. (9% damage, -4% energy)

Round Ten, Begin!

Terrapupa spins about, preparing a vile dose of toxic in its....throat. Thinking quickly, Maeglin creates three body doubles, which surround the Claydol.(-6% energy) Confused, Terrapupa aims the Toxic at the Grovyle in front of him. The remaining Maeglin's stick their tongue out, as the poison passes through the clone uselessly. (-5% energy)

Annoyed, Terrapupa spins about to face another Maeglin. He releases another bolt of psychic energy. Unfortunately, Maeglin escapes unharmed, as another clone is destroyed. (-6% energy) The remaining Grovyle's spit soft seeds at the Claydol's body, which burrow inward immediately, finding the ground-type to their liking.

The Maeglins leap forward, jabbing the Claydol's with their blades once more.(11% damage, -5% energy, +5HP) Terrapupa realizes only one set of blades is real. Quickly, the Claydol turns to the true Maeglin and fires a point blank sphere of dead energy. (10% damage, -6% energy) As Maeglin falls back, the Leech Seed takes effect, sapping valuable health. (4% damage, -5% energy, +2HP)

5% is quite a lot for leech seed, I'd say usually 2 to 4%.

[aragornbird]

"Aragornbird and Manwë:"

Should be Aragornbird and Maeglin.

Anyways, good job. Now strike with Quick Attack, then Leaf Blade, and finally, Crunch the top of its head.

Quick Attack - Leaf Blade - Crunch

[Chris 2.1]

fire off an ice beam when it comes close - with all those eyes you won't lose sight of Grovyle. Next teleport behind it and fire a second ice beam. If it does crunch onto you, use rapid spin.

Round Eleven, Begin!

Maeglin zips forward, slamming into Terrapupa with a lowered shoulder (6% damage, -4% energy) The Grovyle leaps back, but not quite quickly enough. The Claydol had been busy preparing his attack, and unleashes it at the opportune moment. A blast of icy energy slams into Maeglin, chilling him to the bone. (11% damage, -7% energy)

Teeth chattering and eager for revenge, Maeglin leaps forward, swiping with his left arm. (-5% energy) However, his swing meets only empty air. Bewildered, Maeglin looks around in confusion- the Claydol is gone! (-5% energy) He's nearly frightened out of his wits as he senses Terrapupa's silent gaze on the back of his neck.

Maeglin leaps at Terrapupa's skull, his jaws gaping. Unfortunately for him, the Claydol greets him with an icy sandwich, courtesy of an Ice Beam.(12% damage,-7% energy) The Grovyle tumbles backward, his mouth numb, leaving Terrapupa to float above him in satisfaction. The Leech Seed embedded in him steals a bit more power, before falling to the dirt, useless.(4% damage, -5% energy, +2HP)

[Chris 2.1]

Ok Terra we have to be careful. Maeglin has a double advantage over us here. Cloak the arena in a sandstorm to lower its accuracy and impair its vision. Next locate it with psychic and give it a long squeeze by its throat. Finish with earthquake.

Use rapid spin should it crunch or leech seed you.

[aragornbird]

Let's Crunch anyways so it will take some damage and can't change the weather. Take that Psychic like a man and jump on top of its head for a Giga Drain. Then jump up when it hits the ground and land back on its head for another Giga Drain.

Crunch - Giga Drain x2

Round Twelve, Begin!

Terrapupa's eyes flicker, as he begins to concentrate on the earthy energy within. However, his concentration ceases his opponent moves toward him. By the time Maeglin leaps forward at the Claydol, ready to take a bite, Terrapupa is already spinning like a top. Maeglin barely manages to make a scratch before he is deflected by the whirling Claydol. (5% damage, -5% energy) Terrapupa comes to a stop as the Grovyle picks himself up. (7% damage, -4% energy)

Maeglin leaps atop the Claydol's head, which is round and not really suited for riders. It's pretty hard to keep his grip. He manages to slam a blade into the Claydol's head, which glows a bright emerald as it saps away energy. (11% damage, -6% energy, +5HP) Terrapupa groans in pain, focusing his psychic energies upward. It's hard to do with a blade in his brain, but he focuses on the grass Pokemon's throat and constricts it, leaving Maeglin wheezing. (11% damage, -7% energy

Maeglin removes his blade, setting himself up to jump. Terrapupa descends toward the ground for an Earthquake- at the same time, Maeglin jumps. However, it's pretty hard to jump onto a moving object, as opposed to a motionless one. Terrapupa's rocky head doesn't help matters. As Terrapupa rises to hover-level and Maeglin descends, the Grovyle slips, falling on the ground in front of the Claydol. He missed his chance to attack- but on the other hand, at least he didn't land in the midst of the Quake.

[aragornbird]

Sorry, it's my last week of summer school, so as you can expect, we had a lot of final projects due.

Anyways, you're doing good, Maeglin. Strike with an inescapable Pursuit, then follow up with a Leaf Blade. Finally, take some time to Relax.

Round Thirteen, Begin!

Rising from the ground, Maeglin turns and leaps past the Claydol. As he passes by, he deals Terrapupa a quick swipe with his claws, glowing with a dark aura. (7% damage, -4% energy) Terrapupa doesn't show any outward signs of wishing to escape, though. The bizarre markings along his body glimmer blue, as a beam of ice erupts from in front of the Claydol's body. (11% damage, -7% energy)

Chilled but still active, Maeglin leaps towards Terrapupa. In another display of acrobatic skill, he jumps over the Claydol, swiping at the top of his head with his blade. (10% damage, -5% energy) His graceful landing is spoiled, however, by the painful Ice Beam Terrapupa fires into his back. (11% damage, -7% energy)

Maeglin takes a moment to recover, resting on his arm blades. (+8% energy) Terrapupa begins to lament the joylessness of his existence- living in a cold Pokeball with no food. He goes on to mourn the state of Pokemon in general- always at a human's beck and call. Depressed, he decides to end it all, glowing a bright white, before exploding in a great blast of energy. Both trainers shield their eyes from the dust, and as the smoke clears, both Pokemon lay on the ground, knocked out.

Good work Terra, we've got a clean field.

I haven't battled with Arien for a while. I choose you!

*sends out Arien, the female Golden Charizard*

[Chris 2.1]

Awesome match-up

Zygma use double team, then fire water pulse x2.

[Ace64]

Okay, Arien, Earthquake to get rid of those clones, then Sunny Day, and finally, Fire Blast.

Round Fourteen, Begin!

From the left emerges a magnificent Charizard by the name of Arien, her scales glimmering a gentle gold. From the right a stalwart Snorunt shows himself, who goes by the name of Zygma (no relation to Sigma). They are the last Pokemon either trainer will use- the outcome of the match will be decided now.

Zygma doesn't have the advantage in size, but he can take the lead in number. Concentrating, he wills two more Snorunts into existence, who stand beside him.(-5% energy) However, his efforts are for naught. Scowling at the Zygma's in front of her, Arien raises one clawed foot and stamps the earth. In response, a ripple of seismic waves travel across the arena, shaking up the true Snorunt and destroying the clones. (10% damage, -6% energy)

Climbing to his feet, Zygma focuses his body temperature, warming it slightly. That done, he spits a burst of pressurized water, just below freezing point. The ice cold Water Pulse smacks Arien straight in the chest, causing her to shiver in disgust. (9% damage, -5% energy) Ruffled, the Charizard bellows loudly to the sky, causing the temperature to rise. (-4% energy)

Uncomfortable in the new weather, Zygma fires another Water Pulse.It's warmer than before in the new sun, and some of its power is lessened. (7% damage, -5% energy) Arien chuckles in amusement, countering with a great rush of flame in the shape of a Japanese symbol. It strikes Zygma head on, drawing a cry of pain as he falls to the ground, blackened. (13% damage, -6% energy)

Round Fifteen, Begin!

Arien inhales slowly, feeling the comforting warmth begin to build in her belly. Zygma, eyes closed shut, creates three clones around him.(-6% energy)Arien pauses, noting that the Snorunt hasn't attacked. She exhales the flame she has collected with a snort, and bellows at the motionless Ice Pokemon, daring him to attack her.(-4% energy) Zygma doesn't see any of the spectacle- she notes that his eyes are shut.

The Snorunts suddenly dash forward as one, surrounding the Charizard. A little surprised at their movement, Arien hastily aims an open palm blow to one of the Zygmas. When her claw passes through the clone, she nearly overbalances and falls, leaving the Snorunt to fade into air.(-6% energy) Pleased that the plan is working, Zygma and his doubles slam their bodies into the Charizard. Arien howls in annoyance, climbing to her feet- only to notice that the Zygmas are hanging on rather painfully with their teeth. (10% damage, -7% energy)

Roaring in true pain now, Arien inhales quickly, preparing another spurt of flame. She lowers her head to one of the Snorunt's hanging from her wing and exhales, releasing the Flamethrower in a long WHOOSH! (-5% energy) When the fire and smoke clears, the Snorunt is gone- completely destroyed, being only a clone. The two remaining Zygma release their grip, grinning at Arien cheekily.

For anyones curiosity, Zygma is a shortened version of the name of a bone in the skull. I felt it suiting for a large white ice head. Anyway.

Zygma unleash a hail, before using shadow ball and then crunch.

[aragornbird]

We'll go on the offensive this round.
First, use Earthquake to clear the clones and hit the real Zygma. Next, use Ancientpower, and finally, when he comes in to Crunch, Brick Break him away.

Round Sixteen, Begin!

Both Zygmas, mimicking each other, lean back and spit a white-blue orb into the sky. Immediately, the sky begins to darken, grey clouds forming from nothingness. Hail, small at first but steadily growing larger in number and size, begins to descend from the heavens. (-4% EN) Arien stomps the ground with a grim expression on her face. The earth responds with a trembling quiver, knocking both Snorunts to the ground and dispelling the clone. (-10% HP, -6% EN)

Grunting with extertion, Zygma gets to his feet, steadying himself. Using his tiny hands, he shapes an orb of dead energy, creating a miniature pool of darkness in front of him. The Shadow Ball grows in size, about the shape and size of a football, before it is fired. Arien takes the blow in the chest, roaring in discomfort as the dead cells explode on contact. (-8% HP, -5% EN) Tapping her mind into the earth, Arien focuses on the earth around Zygma. With a mental heave, she forces the rock upward, slamming into the Snorunt from all directions. (-9% HP, -6% EN)

Zygma races forward, springing at Arien with mouth open wide. Not ready to be taken by surprise again, Arien meets the eager Snorunt with an open palm blow, pushing the Snorunt away.(-9% HP, -5% EN) Zygma loses a few teeth upon impact, just managing to nick the Charizard's scales. (-4% HP) As the Snorunt falls to the ground heavily, a large chune chunk of hail lands on Arien's tail (-5% HP) Arien snorts, shaking the ice off in frustration.

Round Seventeen, Begin!

Arien flaps her wings and takes flight with a grunt. Soaring quickly through the air, she quickly closes the distance between herself and the grounded Snorunt. Zygma squeaks in shock, watching the great wyrm bear down on him, but doesn't lose his cool (pun not intended.) Arien raises a claw, readying herself. At the same time, Zygma converts a small measure of his internal body temperature to water, his cheeks filling. Seconds before impact, the Snorunt spits the cold jet of water into Arien's face, causing the Charizard to wince involuntarily. (-9% HP, -5% EN) She follows through with her attack, but her aim is a bit off- the open palm blow meant for Zygma's chin finds his right cheek. (-6% HP, -5% EN)

Arien lands with a crash, wiping the water off of her scales with an expression of loathing on her face. She whips her head around, and swings her long tail about wrathfully, ready to send Zygma blasting off again. Only the tip of her tail glows crimson, as the length glows with a metallic sheen. With a surprising amount of agility, though, Zygma anticipates the blow and leaps over the flying Iron Tail like a young girl playing double-dutch. Not the punk double-dutch, the hard double-dutch where you gotta, you know, sing while doing it.(-5% EN)

Arien's tail burns over into a white-hot flame as she climbs to her feet. As the Charizard looms over him, Zygma repeats his earlier motion, filling his cheeks with water. This time, though, when the Water Pulse comes, Arien doesn't even flinch.(-9% HP, -5% EN) She takes the jet of water right on the chin, before repaying the Snorunt with an open palm blow.(-9% HP, -5% EN) Zygma is sent tumbling away by the force of the strike- Arien exhales a thick stream of steam as she watches the sight. The falling pieces of ice don't even seem to bother her anymore, melting as soon as they strike her. (-4% HP)

Zygma we're doing well. Summon a rain dance, and use water pulse x2.

[Ace64]

The hail did do damage- one point less, since it's beginning to die down.
But, my math is a bit off...*edits*

[aragornbird]

Wait for the Rain Dance, then make it sunny again! Then take that Water Pulse and...BLAST BURN!!!!! And finally, relax.

Sunny Day - Blast Burn - Relax

[Chris 2.1]

Oh ok thanks Ace ^^. Also, rain + sun = a rainy, hot day, or does the latter cancel the former?

[Ace64]

Just cancels things- normal day. Temp's already cool with ice, rain converts ice into water, sun evaporates water- that's my reasoning.
