*Battle*
The trainers remain confident in their pokemon as Round 12 gets underway. They issue their commands to the pokemon, and one nods while the other simply grunts as she rolls along.

Kicking up an ever increasing amount of dust behind her as she rolls, Toph turns and approaches Tyrogue for one final rolling attack, using her built up speed to good effect. While she blazes toward the fighter, Vamp clears his mind and focuses. Just in the nick of time, a pair of clones are summoned up from thin air beside him. Before the trio can even open their eyes again, the speeding Sandshrew plows through one of the fighting types. The image is dissipated as she bowls through it harmlessly and keeps rolling on, blowing up wake of sand behind her. Unexpectedly, the cloud of dust rushes over the remaining Tyrogue's, destroying the second illusion in the process. Finally through with her rolling, the mouse slows herself down and then uncurls, digging her claws into the ground and skidding to a stop. Vamp looks a bit disappointed at the loss of his other clone so soon, but rests easy in the comfort that he at least avoided the furious roll.

Continuing on with conviction, Sandshrew runs up to her lone opponent as fast as she can. While she approaches, she focuses energy into her right claws. The sharp appendeges pulsate with energy as she swipes her hand horizontally across Vamp's chest. He yelps as the energized nails cut across him, soon pulling one arm up and holding the surface wound. Groaning a bit, his eyes flicker with the familiar white tone. Out of the glowing eyes is fired a translucent laser, which flows into the ground beneath Toph. She looks down just in time to witness an eruption of sand, which plows into her and tosses her into the air. As the shrew falls to the ground she lets out a muffled grunt, and then pushes herself to her feet. Her body is dustier than usual, but other than that appears well.

She shakes her head briefly to clear any dust away from her eyes, and then glares at Tyrogue. Body glimmering with an earth tone, she lifts up one foot. With a cry she slams her leg down to the ground, sending a terrakinetic pulse through the earth. The high magnitude waves flow through the ground in a cone, straight at the fighter. Vamp stands at the ready, however. He crouches down, ignoring the stinging pain in his chest, and as the moving earth approaches he leaps high into the air. As the sand quakes below, he flies through the air and pulls his leg back. Reaching the apex of the jump, he thrusts one leg forward as he falls toward Sandshrew. The ground type raises her head and braces herself as she see's Vamp cruising toward her. His foot connects with Toph's head, knocking her to the ground with a loud thud while Tyrogue flips and lands gracefully in the soft sand.

Getting to her feet once more, Toph rubs her head with one hand and whimpers slightly, starting to feel fatigue setting in. Vamp struggles with his own pain, though he tries hard to mask it. Its unclear which of these combatants will win this battle, and neither is going down easily.

Alright. We're gona have to think here. First, use Rain Dance, that should mess with the rat. Then, Mud Slap and Hi Jump Kick. If he uses Double Team to evade your Mud Slap, use Swift. Only if he uses it then.

[Silencer]

Counter the rain dance with sandstorm (as in use it after rain dance has completed). Trap it in a sandtomb and relax

*Battle*
The trainers contemplate their next moves carefully, before shouting them to the fighting pokemon with confidence. The two grunt and nod in reply, looking competetively at one another.

Hoping to counter her foe's first move, Toph patiently awaits him to make that move. Vamp does just that, closing his eyes and raising his head to the sky. As a blue aura engulfs his body, rain clouds start to move in overhead. The arena darkens as a crack of thunder is heard, and water starts pouring from the heavens onto the desert. Opening his eyes, Tyrogue grins and sighs contently, the cool rain feeling rather refreshing. On the other hand, Toph becomes quite uncomfortable, much prefering the arid climate that she's accustomed to. So, hoping to change the unpleasent rainfall, she too closes her eyes. Glowing with a brown light, a wind starts to whip up across the arena. But much to her discontent, there is little dust the wind can blow around with the rainfall soaking everything. She opens her eyes and grumbles something to herself, and Vamp smirks to himself.

Seeing the smug fighter, Toph decides to whipe that grin off his face. Holding one hand to the ground while her eyes emit a golden glow, she manipulates the sand below an unsuspecting Tyrogue. The damp earth starts to rotate, quickly gaining speed until it becomes a swirling sand trap. Vamp looks down, a worried expression on his face, as he feels the spinning drawing him down into the ground. He flails around, but to no great effect as he sinks further and further. The spinning sand scrapes against his flesh as he is drawn down, causing him to wince in pain. Submitting to the torrent, he is determined to at least pull of his attack against Sandshrew. The fighter thrusts an open palm into the swirling earth, swatting a blob of muddy sand at his opponent deftly. Still concentrating on her own attack, it takes the mouse by suprise and the gloppy mud splatters over her face and into her eyes. The irritation severs her link with the sand below and it starts to slow, but too little to late. Tyrogue finds himself almost up to his shoulders in sand as the swirling motion finally halts.

Vision blocked by the sloppy mud in her eyes, Sandshrew takes comfort only in the fact that she managed to trap her foe. She whipes her face with her claws for a moment, but soon remembers her growing fatigue. Hoping to let her body rest, she sits on the ground peacefully, doing her best to ignore the irritating rain and the mud in her opticals. Vamp isn't relaxing at all, as he struggles to wriggle free of the sand. All his efforts seem futile, until he gets an idea. Maybe he can jump out of the sand using his powerful leg muscles. He manages to move his legs enough to get a decent jump, which thrusts him up and out of the sand trap. But it doesn't get him much height, and not nearly enough to hope to kick at Toph. He lands beside the hole with a squish, still covered in clumps of wet sand.

The fighter starts to brush himself off a bit, but his entire body is covered and thats sure to take a while. Toph remains sitting, oblivious to the actions Vamp is taking, and still unable to see through the blobs of mud. Through it all, rain continues to fall, making the earth more and more soaked and causing general irritation to the ground type.

*Battle*
Its Round 14, and the battle is starting to wind down. The trainers sense this as they issue their orders for the round, and the pokemon nod solemnly.

Still hindered by the mud covering her eyes, Toph decides to go with something that doesn't require any vision. Raising her leg up, a tan glow persists around it. As she is about to slam it into the ground, Vamp suddenly harnesses a boost of speed despite the sand covering him. He rushes forward in a blurr, and slams his left fist into the shrew's stomach. She lets out a stiffled grunt, having the wind knocked out of her. Despite that, she brings her foot down hard on the ground, albeit a bit weaker thanks to the fighter's quick blow. The resaulting shockwaves radiate outwards, immedietly hitting Tyrogue and knocking him off his feet. He yelps as he falls on his back, the moving earth shaking him up more upon landing. Back badly bruised, Vamp gets back on his feet, cringing but still confident. Toph rubs her stomach with one hand, while whiping the mud out of her eyes with the other.

Remaining visually impaired, though its clearing, Toph once more lifts her foot. Tapping into her terrakinetic prowess, she slams it back into the every wetter earth. The sand undulates upward, seismic waves pushing it around like wind on a lake. Vamp finds himself tossed into the air again, under the force of the earthen attack. He falls back down to earth as gravity kicks in, falling straight into the aftershocks from the quake and yelling in agony. Scrappy as ever, Vamp gets back to his feet with a deep groan, and pulls his hand back. Gathering energy into his fist, it begins to glow brightly. He dashes forward and thrusts the powered fist into Toph, releasing the energy into her body all at once. The blow knocks her onto her back, and as she rolls back to get to her feet she groans loudly. After getting back up, she manages to whipe the last of the mud away from her eyes, finally seeing clearly for the first time in a while.

Growling softly, Toph rubs her sore tummy for a moment before going back on the offensive. She raises her hand in front of her face, channeling energy through it and causing an eerie white glow to exude from each of the 3 claws. Vamp steps back as the fiercesome mouse leaps toward him, claw at the ready, but not far enough. Sandshrew rakes her claws across the fighting type's face, causing him to cry out as he holds the fresh wound. Shouting loudly, he pulls his hand away to reveal a gash across his face, but he's not taking it lying down. He raises his foot briefly, starting to glow just as he stomps the earth hard. Seismic waves rush forward under the earth, swiftly popping the mouse up and into the air. She crashes back down like a sack of bricks, getting further jumbled by minor follow up shocks. Using her tail, Toph lifts herself back to her feet and looks toward her foe, who despite the powerful quake appears to be quickly weakening.

The trainers can see that Vamp is weaking as well, as he stands tall but bears an expression of pain on his scarred face. Even as the rain falls, annoying Sandshrew continually, she appears in much better shape than her opponent.

The rain creates a rather somber tone to the probable last round for this battle, as the trainers issue their orders to the battered pokemon confidently.

Ready to finish off her determined foe in good time, Toph takes a moment to look him over before raising one foot. She puts all her focus into her powers of earthen control, a golden glow surrounding her lime green hide as she breathes heavily. With a shout, she stomps her foot down on the ground, sending powerful shockwaves barreling through the soaked sand and toward the battered Tyrogue. Fighting against the persisting wear of battle, Vamp watches the approaching shock wearily. He manages to jump into the air and avoid the shock wave as he soars toward the confident mouse. All Sanshrew can think is "CRAP!" as she realizes that her attack has been evaded, and that thing is coming straight at her. Vamp soon reaches the apex of his jump and falls straight down on Toph, who merely stands suprised. The fighter thrusts his foot into her, slamming her face first into the wet ground as she lets out a loud yelp. Landing with a grunt, he watches wearily as Sandshrew slowly gets back to her feet and whipes the dirt from her face, looking rather peeved.

She doesn't let it get her down, though. Victory is still close at hand, and it can't be avoided forever. Letting her energy gather around her claws, she jumps toward Vamp with conviction. He raises his hands to guard against the attack, cringing as he feels the familiar sting of the fierce shrew's claws. The glow subsides as she finishes raking the sharp appendages across Tyrogue, and she watches intently to see what effect the attack had on the fighting type. Dropping his guard, its clear from his expression that Vamp is struggling. Anatomy scathed and bruised, his eyes are barely open as he groans in pain. He wants to go on, wants to defeat this strong foe, but his body can't keep going like this. Eyes closing fully, he falls forward into the dampened sand with a sloshing thud.

Even as the rain starts to lessen, the outcome of the battle is decided. Sandshrew is battered and wet, but victorious as she slowly walks over to her trainer and glances up at him proudly. Frylock pulls out his pokeball and brings his defeated fighter back to safety, feeling the sting of defeat but happy to have put up a good fight.

Good job Toph, and you to Obito.

It was a nice match fylock, I was kinda hoping that my shrews speed would be sufficient to let the earthquake hit. Should think over my moves more carefully next time.

Anyway

*takes off to bank and approval tower*

[frylock]

Good game, Silencer. I'm off to catch a Snorlax!
