~Turn 8 Begin!~

Both foes caw and growl in a menacing fashion as they take off towards Tonpei and Tap-tap. With the Murkrow flying towards him, the Swalot quickly gathers an Ice Beam in his mouth and releases it, striking the Murkrow in the chest, while the Murkrow slams into Tonpei, striking at him with its golden beak in anger, its feathers dampened with tiny ice crystals. The Houndoom, however, is having worse luck. His small-scale Ember attack barely missed the Dugtrio as he phased out, leaving an irritated canine in his wake.

Then SLAM!

The Murkrow caws in pain as Tap-Tap lashes out with a Body Slam, knocking the bird off his foe-turned-ally. The crow gives the Dugtrio an irritated glare, before lunging at his attacker viciously. The one peck knocks Tap-Tap down to the count, and the Houndoom grins with pleasure before being smacked with a Water Pulse, of which the hell-hound quickly counters with a fierce Flamethrower.

Now ganged up upon, Tonpei blinks and quickly channels the tiny electric waves within his body, releasing it in one go. Most of the sparks hit the Murkrow-as that was its sole target-but a few wayward sparks damage the Houndoom's feet as he mercilessly brings another blast of flame at Tonpei, while the Murkrow uses a Nightshade.

A good ally, Tonepi, but unfortunately a difficult foe.

Saffire since the time spent on this square was extended to 5 rounds due to the Burglar, I think this is our last time on this square before the Square Change.

The downed Tap-tap has been returned to his poke ball. Hypotenuse Man, pockets the ball and fingers through the extensive collection on his belt (he really should get a bag or something) before coming to the right one. Tossing it to the ground, he releases a mighty metagross, silver in color.

Both trainers order their attacks, with Chris 2.0's being slightly more evil than Hypotenuse's. Whatever, karma's a bitch. Ramses lifts his legs up and charges into a mode I'd like to call "levitate mode". I rather like levitate mode, it makes metagross look more menacing and less giant-enemy-crap-ish. The giant robot hovers through the air with is body shining a white color; charging towards the murkrow, he crashes into him with incredible speed as his supposed ally, Tonpei, sends a heavy yawn throughout the desolate home. Ramses pays it no mind, but the other two pokemon yawn in unison, each getting quite tired. Murkrow fades into into the shadows and bullets through the air with an unusual ninja-like speed, hitting Tonpei from behind for light damage. Meanwhile, the hellhound, Houndoom, tiredly shoots off a small fireball which slams into Ramses, causing the large, metal robot to flinch.

Both Murkrow and Houndoom subdue to their own desires of slumber, and nap peacefully as the two menacing pokemon ready their next attacks. King Ramses hovers over towards the sleeping houndoom and returns to "crab mode" before winding his for claw. He bashes houndoom into next week, and the fire dog yelps in pain, no longer as sleepy as he was before. With Ramses distracted, the venomous puddle of poison wanders over to it, pulling his fist back momentarily before shooting it forward. Ramses is knocked down, and slowly pulls itself back together. Circuits jammed, the king is unable to respond for a moment.

Tonpei starts to relax, but Ramses stares at the ground trying to readjust to society's fast-paced eco-structure. Houndoom, the only awake foe, charges towards Tonpei; his fangs trickling with dark energy as he runs, he latches his teeth into Tonpei's purple flesh, only to be surprised to find out that the poison pokemon's flesh is highly toxic. Houndoom's mouth burns as he retreats, yelping out variously. Ramses, meanwhile, pulls itself back together and conjures a nasty concentration of poison; feeling it fruitless to attack his backstabber ally, Ramses finishes the round by shooting off a poisonous gunk bomb at the sleeping murkrow, knocking him over and causing great damage.

Before Murkrow can retalliate, however, a large, pale hand drops a pair of die, which read "." and "...": four. As if they were on a conveyor belt, both pokemon are whisked away from the Northumberland Avenue and onto the narrow alleys of Vine Street. Both pokemon have nowhere to go, so a fight is the only natural progression.

~Turn 10 Begin!~

A new square, a new battle. Tonpei holds out his stubby hand which ignites in a ball of fire. He makes his way over to the intimidating silver crab slowly. King Ramses isn't standing their diddling his thumbs, partly because he has none, but mostly because he's got a plan. As the large, squishy balloon crawls over to the metagross, said metagross lifts up before crashing down upon the arena's floor. The alleyway's ground trembles, creating several waves of pavement to crash against Tonpei, knocking him to the ground forcefully as his flaming hand extinguishes itself.

Ruptured from the attack, Tonpei pulls himself back together and leaps up into the air. When he hits the ground, he creates another shockwave which makes its way towards King Ramses. Ramses, still recuperating from its previous attack, slowly retracts its legs. However, the metagross is unable to pull itself up before taking some damage.

It is at this point that somewhere, someplace, someone has called the police. They'll be here soon. As the damaged metagross hovers over to his poison foe, his mind remains clear. Ramses' head comes crashing into the poison pokemon's, knocking him down for the second time this round. Pulling himself back together, Tonpei thinks of several things that would make him pissed of - a baby crying, people talking on cell phones during a movie, Jean Claude van Damme, etc. Harnessing his anger as energy, Tonpei rushes into Ramses, knocking him far away due to lack of friction.

~Turn 10 Begin!~

As the cops speed through the Monopoly board trying to locate the two battlers and cuff 'em, said battlers, Tonpei and King Ramses, ready themselves for another whimsical round of battling. Ramses initiates the battle - his silvery metal coat begins to shine in the alley, giving it an incredible boost in speed. Meanwhile, Tonpei opens his mouth and excercises his vocal chords in an interesting way - by singing a lullaby fit for aliens or mutant butteflies. The song, despite how many babies it could scare or how many people it could drive to suicide, seems to calm down the massive metagross, easing it into a very relaxed state of mind, and eventually sleep. The metal pokemon hits the ground very slowly with its crab legs still in the 'up' position.

With his opponent down, Tonpei begins to concentrate on the pokemon's large computer psyche. As he flails through the mesh of 0's and 1's, he takes a chunk of binary and devours it metaphorically, rephlenishing his health slightly. Meanwhile, Ramses dreams of 0's and 1's, like any normal robot would, until a giant number 2 appears, frightening the large metagross psyche. King Ramses trembles in its slumber.

Ramses doesn't wake up at first, and Tonpei re-enters the computer brain, through the hall of binary, grabbing another chunk of metagross dreams, promptly swallowing it before retreating back into his own body. King Ramses, utterly freaked out, knocks itself out of slumber. "Why am I on the ground," it would perhaps wonder. Ramses struggles before sitting its legs back onto the ground and lifting its body up. Ramses charges up for his attack, a great white laser beam. The attack is launched, and Tonpei is flashed and burnt slightly.

At the end of the round, sirens can be heard as a cop car screaches to a halt. The car blocks the only escape from the alleyway, so running's not an option. They cuff both the metagross (giant handcuffs, I imagine) and Tonpei, and take the pokemon to the station for "noise pollution".

As putrid as his requiem may be, Tonpei feels an encore coming on, vibrating his vocal chords once more sending a series of soothing (though disgusting) sounds to reverberate along the prison walls. A few prisoners fall to the ground of their chambers, unconscious - their makeshift shivs clash against the ground as Ramses attempts to cover his... ears? Whatever... ears with his giant metal claws. Unfortunately, his claws are much to bulky to accomplish such a feat so quickly, and his eyelids, suddenly heavier, fall faster than a bowling ball made of iron. With his foe grounded, Tonpei sneaks over to his metal foe snickering to himself.

The poisonous puddle of pseudo-toxicity hobbles over towards Ramses, closing distance so his heavier-than-life punch doesn't miss. I mean, how awkward would it be to miss with an effin' punch!? Tonpei winds back his fist, and crashes it into the slumbering crab-ot without concern, causing quite a bit of damage, as well as waking up the giant enemy crab. Ramses reboots, settling back onto the ground before stamping his fore-claws into the ground, sending a wave of tremors that rip through the ground. Tonpei cries out as the waves of cement bash into his exterior.

~Turn 13 Begin!~

With their sentence half over, the two pokémon ready themselves for a grand display of attacks that will ultimately free themselves from this literal prison and into a figurative one. The silver crab closes his eyes, focusing on the toxic pillow of gooey goodness. Said toxic pillow of gooey goodness remains poised, however, as the metagross tries perilously to mentally rape its foe. Ramses' psychic attacks are thwarted by the protective shield that Tonpei had previously erected moments ago.

Proving fruitless, Ramses turns off his mental computers and decides to physically harm the poison pokémon. The metagross lifts its feet up once more before stamping them on the arena floor once more just as Tonpei does the same. The result: a twin shockwave of earth energy tremors through the floor. Just like two ruthless opponents pointing, and firing, a gun at one another, both pokémon feel an adverse effect as the earthquakes shatter their non-existent bones.

A young police officer, Jimminy "Toothless" McGhoo, given the nickname "Toothless" due to a bowling ball incident when he was nine years old, walks through the halls with a single key in his hand. He unlocks the prison door, saying to the pokémon, "Yous free ta go nah..."

The pokémon grimace, and step out of their prison cell and eventually out of jail entirely where they are once more placed on an interesting conveyor belt, where they finally arrive at Trafalgar Square.

I'm pretty sure the user has to faint for DB to work...not simply by HP loss. So fingers crossed!

[The Blue Avenger]

My hope was that if I didn't KO you then it wouldn't KO me back. The Attack List kinda sorta backs me up, maybe?

[Chris 2.1]

True, the ALB does point towards it, but as long as a bond is established....and it's not like Tonpei is attacking himself....hmm I dunno it's vague.

[The Blue Avenger]

The impression I got from the List was that whatever KOd the Pokemon gets KOd; hence the bit about indirectly attacking working - the ceiling would not faint, for example.

But I leave the matter entirely in the hands of our ref.

~Turn 15 Begin!~

Amidst the heavy confusion, Chris 2.0 recalls his downed Tonpei, replacing it swiftly with his large king crow, Caligo Honchkrow. Caligo perches on the ground all bad-assy, and the match once more takes a turn for the worst. King Ramses begins the round by scraping his large legs against one another -- the resulting sound that consumes the battle square is hurtful enough to make even the deaf fall victim; Caligo doesn't even bother, however, as his own screech drowns out the effects of the metagross' loud shrilling noises.

Ramses, slightly frustrated that his attack failed, digs his claws into the ground and opens his mouth... compartment... thing... and begins to charge up an attack of awesome display and power. Caligo too summons an attack, but only of mere regular display and power. If you pay attention, you can hear a faint heartbeat -- get it? Dark Pulse!? Right!? Right!? Ahhhh.... The dark blast of energy collides with the metagross, barely moving the metal crab back. Ramses finishes charging, and shoots forward the aforementioned powerful attack which crashes into the large bird pokémon harshly; Caligo's hat would've fallen off had it not've super-glued to his forehead upon evolution.

The round nears a close as Caligo vanishes with the swiftness of a ninja. As he does so, Ramses begins mixing a horrid collection of liquids and gases within his large, metal frame. In the darkness, Caligo reappears and quickly slashes at the metal pokémon with his mighty talons three times before retreated just as fast. Ramses then fires back with a large clunky ball of gunky poison that can only be described as Bon Jovi. The poisons sail through the air and collide with the unsuspecting bird pokémon before he can even evade.

The round ends, and another large pair of die hit the arena floor, reading '..' and '.....' -- that's a lotta snake eyes. Once more, like a conveyor belt, the two pokémon are brought to another square -- Mayfair.
