The June Contest!

[Ultimate Charizard]

Awww....i was going to use the fire too....and i still will.

Ok Marowak use Double team to dodge the Fireblast. If you have clones left then wait for him to use Dark Pulse and answer Back with your own Fireblast before Dashing in and trying that Focus Blast one more time! I know you'l get hit by Flamethrower but i know you can take it!

ROUND TWO OF FIVE

The second round begins as the sun continues to blaze burst, brightening the arena for a few more moments. Marowak closes his eyes and concentrates, creating several clones that wrap around Stunky in a circular formation (-6% - Marowak). Stunky is confused, and tries his best to tell the difference between them; unfortunately, he is unable to do so and fires his fire burst blindly. The roaring flames charge through the air (-7% - Stunky), crashing into one of the marowak before it disappears into nothingness.

Stunky sighs as he conjures up some more energy; unlike before, the energy is dark, native to his own typing. Marowak waits patiently for his foe to attack. Marowak does so, firing off (once more, blindly) a silky dark pulse. The orb of darkness soars through the air, sending a trail of ripples behind it. The dark pulse slams into Marowak (-5% - Marowak; -4% - Stunky). Marowak's clones shatter due to his lapse of concentration, but he immediately readies himself for retalliation. In a similar manner as Stunky just moments before, Marowak shoots off a large cloud of fire that targets the venomous skunk pokemon. The fire cloud sweeps across Stunky, causing great damage (-8% - Stunky; -7% - Marowak).

Marowak rolls across the grass, grabbing his bone along the way. The grass is dried out, and the flames have eaten some of it away. Marowak immediately charges towards Stunky with his bone collecting his fighting spirit. Stunky reacts by shooting off a steady stream of flames which come in contact with Marowak. Albeit weaker than Marowak's fire blast, Stunky's flamethrower is as effective (-6% - Marowak; -4% - Stunky). Slightly charred, Marowak continues forward, bashing the skunk with his bone club for great damage (-10% - Stunky; -8% - Marowak).

ROUND THREE OF FIVE

Third round out of five - almost halfway over - and both pokemon are still ready. Marowak runs over towards the purple skunk pokemon, kicking once (-2% - Stunky; -1% - Marowak), then kicking again (-3% - Stunky; -2% - Marowak). Stunky flinches from the double-hit, but instantly regains his focus - quickly thieving Marowak's bone club that had previously been lying on the floor (-4% - Stunky).

Marowak, perturbed that his heirloom had been stolen, retreats towards the edge of the contest hall for momentum. His skull cap shines brightly as a metallic symbiote engulfs it; the small marowak then charges towards the stunky head-first, crashing into the poison pokemon harshly (-7% - Stunky; -6% - Marowak). Stunky doubles back, but his grip on the bone remains in tac, collecting dark energy as he does so. The skunk leaps at Marowak, slashing him with his dark-embalmed nails (-6% - Marowak; -5% - Stunky).

Without his weapon, Marowak is unable to pull off his final attack. Stunky, meanwhile, conjures a lot more dark energy into his arm, and bashes the marowak quickly (-7% - Marowak; -6% - Stunky).

ROUND FOUR OF FIVE


Marowak glares at the skunk pokemon, eager to bring him down; but alas, he was ordered to play defensively at first. Stunky breathes in, then out--shooting a powerful orange blast of fire that creeps around the hall (-8% - Stunky). Marowak, however, is agile, and darts around the flames, narrowly avoiding them and diving to the ground (-5% - Marowak).

Stunky charges at his foe quickly as his teeth begin to leak dark energy. Marowak's bone still between his lips, the stunky lets it fall to the ground before sinking said teeth into Marowak's arm (-7% - Marowak; -6% - Stunky). Marowak howls in pain, but retrieves his bone quickly as Stunky lets go.

The unnamed stunky ends the round by collecting the poisons within his own body. Meanwhile, Marowak holds his returned bone high into the air as it charges with a powerful force. He brings it to the ground harshly, causing the earth to quake violently around Marowak, knocking Stunky around (-10% - Stunky; -7% - Marowak). Stunky pulls himself back together before shooting the collection of poisons he had conjured; they slap Marowak, and burn painfully (-8% - Marowak; -6% - Stunky).

hmm....couldve sworn Aerial Ace and Thief were damaging moves too....oh well, we can use this as an advantage.

Marowak we have to do it on this round.

Start with an Endeavour and follow with Rock tomb to hold it in place. End this the same way you ended your appeals. With Giga impact!

Endeavour - Rock Tomb - Giga Impact

[Greyfox]

They can be, but not in this situation. Aerial Ace was used as a means to dodge the oncoming Fire Blast, while Theif was used to grab Marowak's bone (which wasn't near Stunky at the time of use). That's why Marowak didn't do damage to Stunky.

-Grey

[Ultimate Charizard]

Yeah i kinda figured your reasoning though at the time of issuing the attacks i was kinda wanting to go on the offensive, thats why i used Aerial Ace and not Protect. And i can see how thief was evaded as Stunky would need his mouth free to use Crunch though in that case it very much comes down to the individual refs interpretation. The opponent didnt make that clear in the orders and i know of some refs who would go completely the other way and say Stunky couldnt perform Crunch with a bone in its mouth etc

But like i said its not really a problem. (unless it costs me the match lol )

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Double team and get your evasion up. Let's hope for some luck.

Then, counter the rock tomb with a Dig, so dig down when you see the rocks coming, you should be able to escape the tomb even if it did succeed. Then, Giga pact will be kinda difficult with you being underground, so wait for the moment and then strike hard!

Double Team - Dig - Undig (strike)

Win or lose, good job Stunky, and Ammit too.

Let's finish this!

ROUND FIVE OF FIVE

The June Contest reaches it's final minute as Stunky closes his eyes and, in a large puff of smoke, creates three clones that surround him (-6% - Stunky). Marowak wastes no time and charges towards one of the pokemon; throwing his entire body into the attack, Marowak darts through a stunky - causing it to disappear in a similar burst of smoke, leaving Marowak slightly perturbed (-7% - Marowak).

Marowak muses for just a moment with his bone raised high into the air; he slams it to the ground, summoning a "rock train" to flow through the ground at one of the stunky. Stunky, realizing that he's about to be struck, quickly lashes at the soft soil below. The upheaval ensues, trapping Stunky in the rocks (-6% - Stunky; -5% - Marowak), but he continues to dig from the earthy prison (-5% - Stunky).

Marowak, assuming that his foe is still trapped in the rocks, begins charging his final attack. Meanwhile, Stunky continues to burrow through the soil until he digs upward, catching the marowak off guard (-5% - Marowak; -3% - Stunky). Loosing control, Marowak stumbles and inadvertently releases his charged attack; Stunky is hit by a part of it (-4% - Stunky; -8% - Marowak), but the other part destroys the ground.

The time clock runs out, and the whistle is blown, thus ending the final round of the grand prix.
