======== Round 2: FIGHT! ========

As the second match begins, I quickly grab a parasol to deflect the sand grains whistling around me-and mentally make my Silver Surfboard sail about the area. The Pokemon in question all look like dots, and its hard as heck to make out who is going to make a move, but ironically, they all move at the same time!

M-phelz jumps from behind the cog he was hiding from, and instantly barks as the sand grains sear across his face. Not wasting any time however, he charges through the storm and lunges at Abstruse. Dark energy begins to ebb from his body, and without a second thought, he released a Dark Pulse from his form the second he lands on the lower level of the Metal Realm.

Abstruse began to counter with a series of waves of his own, aimed at pacifying the hound long enough to put the kabash on his attack spree. However, the pulse shook through the area swiftly, smashing into Abstruse relentlessly. As the blast shocked Abstruse around in the Sandstorm, the poor lil guy seemed to hiccup in mid-hover- losing his concentration of his opponent-whom was moving around in the Sandstorm as the grains were pecking at his nostrils.


Over at the other end of the Sandstorm, Sandslash our Sandshrew raised her pangolian like arms to the sky, and began to conjure up the spirits of the Earth Realm, releasing a blast of power that flew toward Minh T. Minh.T was already on the move though, and used her little body to bounce and flip through the wasteland that was overrun by the sandstorm.

The Secret Power Orbs began to rain all around Minh. T as she dodged left and right, trying to survive! A final jump, as Secret Power orbs began slamming around her left and right, and she was scott free! A hearty splash could he heard, as she swam over to a small barge to rest on in the Water Realm. Too bad she didn't spot that last large orb come screeching at her from above and slam her into the water.

[S:-3E A:-4E/-6H M.T: -2E/-4H M-pz:-8E]

Minh T didn't mind the water really, it got the sand out of her bulb! Taking a moment to enjoy the cool water, she then swam to a larger piece of land, and looked over the area. Just..icebergs. Ick. Anyway, she shook off the excess water, and began setting up her secondary move.

M-phelz, meanwhile, was already over Abstruse again. The mirrormon was slightly upset over being unable to subdue the ravenous beast-that energy he gave out gave it quite a chill. In any event, it flew over toward some more cogs to evade the fire fiend, and to lure him into the trap. It worked, as M-phelz gave hot pursuit. Sparks of electric nature erupted from his fangs as he lunged in eager anticipation to taste Bronzor..flesh? The bite connected, and Abstruse winced in pain momentarily. Shocks of lightning ran through his system, but Abstruse knew he'd be ok. He didn't know about M-phelz however...

since the gears above them began to finally stall from the accumulation of sand in their cogs. An added energy from Abstruse would cause that whole sequence of gears to slide down upon M-phelz and itself.

..I flew over immediately, looking at the rubble of one of the Metal towers-but the sand was too great. I hope they're still able to fight. Turning back to Sandshark, she was firing another series of green orbs at Minh. T from across the pond. Minh. T stood her ground, and smirked. The area around her began to grow warm, as the blasts came raining down around her. Sent flying again-but on a piece of ice this time (she was smart enough to hook her vines into the ground so she could have a little boogie-board upon landing.)-she looked up to see if she was successful.

That she was. The sun shone bright over the Water Realm, spreading over to the Earth Realm. The Sandstorm seemed to fear the light and ran for the Metal realm, but it was dissipated by the rays of sunshine in the Earth Realm.

[S:-4E A:-5E/-4H(-5H) M.T:-4E/-5H M-pz:-5E/-10H]

I saw no movement from the gear tower, and with the Sandstorm dying down in the Earth realm, I zip over to gain a better vantage point. But NO. Sandshark down here doesn't WANT me here because she is screaming Sand-cenities at me. So I skate away..and whoosh, the energy she gave off was astounding. Her hands rose and she held them out in a defensive manner, staring Minh .T down.

Minh was answering her glare with one of her own, and unleashed a series of small green like projectiles of her own. With ninja like precision, the y were flung in a giant clod of leaves at Sandshark. Sandshark darted toward the cloud, and began to slice through them, dancing in such a way that it seemed her attack prowess was rising. She seemed to be enjoying the deflection practice, but at the end of his, her forearms did feel numb. A few leaves did cut her shoulders and knees, but she stood ready.

As the duo over there finished, I could hear a strange howling sound from the rubble of the Steel tower. Glancing back, the howling seemed to rise more-becoming more violent, until suddenly, I zipped out of the as gears went flying, along with a very hurt Houndoom. M-phelz limped away hastily, hiding behind the gears that fell upon his form, as a torrential tornado of Sand flew up from Abstruse's form.

The sandstorm that was created began to blot out the sun..over the Wood, Earth and Water Realms. Minh. T gained a disenchanted look, as Sandshark squealed in glee that her teammate wasn't already knocked out. As Abstruse flew up over his work, M-phelz didn't give in to pain. A dire Crunch was given to Abstruse, pulling him back down and forcibly slamming it into the cogs. Wonder what happened in that time they were stuck together...

[S: -6E/-5H A:-5E/-4H M.T:-4E M-pz:-6E]

As the Sandstorm once again takes precedence over the Earth, Water and Wood realms, it seems our competitors will just battle in the shade!

Arena Changes:

There is a Sandstorm in the Arena, currently affecting the Wood, Water and EarthRealms. It IS spreading and will encompass the one extra stage of the arena by the end of next round until every stage is covered or if it is halted. Visibility is greatly reduced. It will also take away 2Hp from every non Ground; Steel or Rock type in the battle. It will last for 4 more rounds.

**Abstruse recieved extra damage from not being able to escape when the cogs were pulled down atop of M-phelz. He didn't let Abstruse go.


Any problems, lemme know!

[Negrek]

Hypnosis affects dark-types just fine.

[Blademaster]

Actually, Houndy, it's their turn to attack...

[Houndoom_Lover]

Oh....We have some sort of order..^______________________^ Sorry *deletes*

[DarkestLight]

Ok. This battle is too cool to stop. So-despite the 5 day rule-I'm giving P-song and Negrek some lapse time here. But I need to get a littll stricter with DQ time.

So I'm giving ya till Monday-barring weird and unusual circumstance that would eliminate the ability to get near a computer-let alone have time to post for this battle.

[Blademaster]

The DQ passed a week ago. They should be DQ-ed now.

...

But... Because Houndy and Phoenix will... hurt me... if I do that...

They have until midnight.

Sorry if it seems like I'm undermining your authority here, Dark, but this is my battle; I figured it was dead and time to move on.

[Phoenixsong]

Sorry. I'm graduating today, and I've been very scatterbrained lately. Really, I should have posted in the absence tower, but, again, didn't think to. I apologize. Negrek and I will be ready soon, I promise.

[DarkestLight]

No, it's alright Blade, I had been watching the battle, waiting for a call

But of course Phoenix never calls...

just leaves me by my bedside crying myself to sleep at night...

pondering why no one had posted.

But ya heard the man. I'm not going over that. n_n

[Negrek]

This is getting tiresome, Abstruse. Let's start off with a substitute (about 15% health should do) to block us some damage and attack effects. Follow it up by firing a confuse ray at Mephistopheles to send that hound reeling. Finally, use a faint attack to dodge any attacks that might be aimed your way and also attack Minh. T. If your faint attack can't take you that far, then move as close to her as you can instead, and focus as much as possible upon dodging if necessary.

However, if Mephistopheles wants to come in at you with another contact attack, wait until he gets close and then release a charge beam straight at his face just when he's about to pounce in order to blind him and knock him away.

Subsitute (15%) / Charge Beam @ Mephistopheles ~ Confuse Ray @ Mephistopheles / Charge Beam @ Mephistopheles ~ Faint Attack @ Minh. T

[Houndoom_Lover]

We have to wait for your partner to post. *nods solomly* Though I'm sure I can take our opponents out with Bertha! *raises my bat high* ^_^

[Phoenixsong]

All right, all right, this time it's not my fault. My internet connection completely died. I'm rushing this post (and a quick absence tower post) from somewhere else, and I'll add in my attacks as soon as I can. I'm really sorry about this. *kicks AT&T* Fix my internet, dammit!

[Houndoom_Lover]

XD I understand completely! Poor Blady is down and out sometimes too! Wwaaaah! I'll have to watch Jackie Chan Adventures and eat Fudge Frosting covered Oreos to cope with this! (o^-^o)

[Phoenixsong]

LIEKOMGPHOENIXISATTACKINGLOLZ.

Now that my internets appear to be under control, I can *finally* post my attacks. I'm really sorry about this.

Hokay, Sandshark, let's get down to business. Use Aerial Ace to zip in close to Mephisto/Mephy/M-phelz/that dog thing, and while you've got him in range give him a hearty Poison Jab. Lastly, make an exit using Rapid Spin and roll away--see if you can't hit him on your way out.

Aerial Ace (towards/at Mephisto) ~ Poison Jab @ Mephisto ~ Rapid Spin (hit Mephisto and spin away)

[DarkestLight]

Blade...H_Lova! *WHISTLE* Let's keep it going n_n!!

[Houndoom_Lover]

Ha! Let's not have then out do us, my darling! Postion yourself infront of that Substituson than wait until Sandshark gets close than Faint attack away to the back of Sandshark. Fire Blast at both of them- then finish this off with Torment!

Faint Attack~ Fire Blast~ Torment

[Blademaster]

Wait for Sandshark to move in close to Abstruse; then, after Mephy vanishes, slam them both with a Leaf Storm. Then hit Sandshark with a sure-fire Magical Leaf as she tries to roll away, and when Abstruse moves in to strike you, plant a Leech Seed on it.

Move: Leaf Storm (A&S), Magical Leaf (S), Leech Seed (A)

[DarkestLight]

Now, let's try to keep that DQ time in effect after this round lol.

======== Round 3: FIGHT! ========

Surfing along the outskirts of the sandstorm, I quickly pulled out a set of binoculars, as where I resided was not littered with sand.

Feeling the pain of steel, M-phelz seemed reluctant to try and run on his paw. But, with encouragement from his trainer, the pup was on the move, almost as if he never lost a lick of energy. However, upon spotting AbstrusE, M-phelz slowed down, snorting as sand clotted his vision.

Abstruse, stopped moving, watching the pup. It wasn't moving. What was it plotting? Well, better safe than sorry, as Abstruse quickly spun around, before disappearing from view. In his place, was a small Reptar doll, complete with Sand guard !

Sandshark giggled at the Substitute that appeared, and sped over as fast as she could. Claws were out and the pup was suddenly hit in the back by a swift-sharp Aerial Ace. As the sand set in the wound sharply, M-phelz lost all paitence for waiting. As Sandshark began to bounce backwards, she suddenly went bouncing harder than she was used to. Her back felt like it was attacked...by the pup? But where was he!

Sandshark turned around, and through the sandstream, saw what was to be her undong right now. Leaves slammed left and right, all over the place, cutting the substitute and Sandshark through and through.

Minh. T, after using such an attack, lied on her belly. That was tiring. But she was still ready to fight. Just felt a lil..drained

[S:-4E/-19H A: -15E (Sub: 15/0<---7H) M.T: -10E M-pz: -5E/-6H]

Undeterred by the leaf Storm for some weird Hocus-Pocus reason-Abstruse would turn toward M-phelz position, and swiftly start to shimmer, catching the pup's attention. Growling with anger, M-phelz ran over, fire in his mouth streaming! Vehemently, Sandshark came to the rescue, uppercutting the aerial pup with a good-aimed Poison Jab. Connecting with his stomach, M-phelz whimpered as he went upward more. The Confuse Ray flew up in order to try and hamper the pup- but to no avail. He still was looking down, and merely opened his jaws, the Fire Blast raining down on the both of them.

Sand turned into glass as it whipped through the flames, heighteneing the hazard as Sandshark rolled into a ball to block...Or that was her plan, before a slew of leaves struck her again! Forced to uncoil, she was a sitting duck for the nova slam of fire. The Fire Blast was conjured and thrown-terrifying Abstruse a bit as it watched the flames lick at his form...and then go and get sucked up by the Sub--which then exploded in a fiery blaze.

[S:-5E/-12H A: -5E (Sub: 15/0<----16E) M.T: -7E M-pz: -10E/-7H((Confused))]

Turning my head, as Reptar chunks fly out at me. Abstruse breaths a sigh of relief. M-phelz begins shaking his head-utterly confused as to where everyone is-and where the heck this Sandstorm came from! Barking covered up by the roar of the wind, poor M-phelz was a sitting suck for Sandshark who abused this opportunity well. Though singed beyond belief, she was still up to battle and made sure that her Sonic Spin struck the side of that sinister hound as she sped out of the area-back to her

Abstruse, glad that pup was feeling the effects of confusion, disappeared from view. Reappearing, the sky here was clear! The air was fresh. It turned, seeing its Faint Attack did clear it of the Steel realm, and left him danged close to Minh. T...who did not approve. Winded, she backed away, before firing off a volley of seeds to pin Abstruse down with. However, with a mere levitation act upon itself, Abstruse was able to evade even the highest launching Leech Seed Minh. T could do currently.

[S: -4E A:-5E M.T:-4E M-pz: Nada]

The Sandstorm already has taken over the Earth, Water and Wood realms, and the Fire Realms soon fell under its praises.

Any problems, lemme know!

[Blademaster]

Magical Leaf is a Special Attack - how does Reflect work against it but not Leaf Storm?

[Negrek]

How does substitute cost more energy to use than leaf storm?

Also, is Minh. T still swimming around in the water, or is she on one of the ice sheets or icebergs?

[DarkestLight]

..!!

::Rejoices.::

Blade: Pay no mind to that comment. That was something that should not have been on the end of the post. Again, pay no heed to that; In fact :;Makes it disappear::

Negrek: This one fortunately is simple. Leaf Storm=High Fatigue. Fatigue in that bracket is 8-12%. I understand that's only a situational bracket and can be missed or exceeded at certain times. 10 was reasonable for Minh to shoot through the storm, and hit you both.

You specified 15% for your sub, so that's what I took.

o.o Anything else I may have missed?

[Houndoom_Lover]

Hehe, Bacon...I mean, it's our turn! (right?) ^-^ Since the sandstorm is gone, lit up the field for you and your friend with Sunny Day! Now, shake of that confustion at best you can and Faint Attack up to cog-pants up there! Then Fire Fang it!

Sunny Day~Faint Attack (Cog-pants)~Fire Fang

Um...I should proubally have a back up plan but...*watches Mephy lick...himself* Blademaster can handle that ¬¬

[Blademaster]

Oh, sure. Let me do all the hard stuff. >>'

Minh T., fire off the biggest Razor Leaf you can manage as a decoy, and then wreck Abstruse's concentration with a well-aimed Worry Seed. End by taking advantage of Sunny Day; hit Sandshark with a Solarbeam!

If Sunny Day has been negated by the third action, use Energy Ball on Sandy instead.

Move: Razor Leaf (decoy), Worry Seed (A), Solarbeam (S)
Sub: ---------, ----------------, Energy Ball (S)

[Negrek]

Ah, never mind; I didn't realize that you took the 15% from energy and not health, which is how I normally see it done.

I do really need to know if Minh. T is swimming or not, though. ^^;

[DarkestLight]

Yeah I was wondering about that-I decided on Energy rather than health >> << Won't make that mistake again for future reffings.

And no, Minh is on an ice sheet currently

[Blademaster]

Now, let's try to keep that DQ time in effect after this round lol.

Five days have passed.

A week has passed.

Over a week has passed.

I forget which of those first two was the DQ, but they're all over. And I need Minh T. out of battle anyway.

I'm requesting a DQ. And this time I'm not going to revoke it.

Darkly, ladies, I'm sorry.

[DarkestLight]

Hey no prob Blade. I was tired of waiting as well, and I figured by this time, everyone had forgot about it. My fault for being lax about notifying you all about the DQ.

So, let me see what we have here.

Blade and Houndoom Lover are Default winners-Negrek and Phoenixsong are hereby DQ'ed

Points are...None for anyone -.-. No pokemon was under 55% health. Thanks for playing, and if this ever happens again, give me a shout. Just be sure to be around cause yeah..you know I'll be n_n.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Aw, we were going to win anyways. ^_^...wait, what...No points! I need points...*sad* I can't buy gifts with out points...*sad*

[Phoenixsong]

Grah, sorry. I've just had too much going on to stay on top of this. Thanks for reffing it, though, DL. Ah, well. That leaves another challenge spot open for a simpler, easier-to-track battle, eh?

[DarkestLight]

Yah n_n. You knpow I'll always ref for you guys. Till it drives me insane lol.
