Your choice made clear, you send out you faithful Houndoom, Aiyana, to deal with the spirit. The flash of light from her releasing catches the attention of all pokemon, most scattering to avoid possible capture. The Rotom looks back at you with a questioning gaze as Yana becomes five copies.

Not wasting a moment, the Yana’s gather a simultaneous ball of blue fire in their jaws and launch them all at the same time. Surprised by the volley of attack, Rotom erects a Protect sphere that absorbs the true attack and the fakes.

Buzzing with mild anger at this declaration for battle, Rotom sparks to life with blue lightening which it gathers and throw as a Shockwave. Multiple electric bolts fire from it and fan out to hit the true Yana and disperse the clone. Yana shakes off the attack to lunge for the Ghost and bite chomp down on its body, taking it with black teeth…

Not giving the ghost a chance to recover, Yana lunges again, teeth barred to bite. She clamps down again with impressive force but this time she seeps extremely potent toxins into the enemy. Feeling its body giving to poison, the Rotom screams an echoing Uproar which rack her with pain and damages Yana’s ears at such close range. The canine throws the vile ghost away as her ears buzz a bit…

The electric ghost is released from Yana slobbering jaws and sparks angrily at the Houndoom. It begins to manifest a Confuse Ray to hopefully disorient it’s foe but it’s catches the guttural Taunts of Yana. These words of dishonor excite Rotom to phase into our reality and tackle Yana for good damage.
(Yana- 4EN,3HP | Rotom-6EN)

Having to over work pushes the poison deeper through the Rotom’s system much to you and Yana’s delight. The canine parts her fanged jaws and manifests a swirling ball of Shadow and releases it with all her might. The Rotom acts quickly and splits with Double Team making the appearance of five copies, now four as the Shadow Ball passes through one.
(Yana-5EN | Rotom-5EN)

Under the gaze of fours circling spirits Yana raises her Special abilities with the powers of darkness. An umbre light shines from her coat and she howls calling to the power of evil to aid her.

On the defensive now, Yana sticks her nose up and sniffs the air deeply. Through the smell of charred wood she picks up the oddly spicy scent of the ethereal pokemon. Rotom and its clones quickly create a ghostly ball of pulsing light, a Confuse Ray, and launch them from all direction. Yana sees in time to dodge, knowing the real Rotom is to her left.
(Yana- 4EN | Rotom-3EN)

Target located, she focues her attack on it. As the ball of flames forms the black aura around her writhes and fluxes to life, adding more power to the attack. Rotom charges up ready to release another attack but he is quickly tagged by the massive column of flames which propel it right to the stage.
(Yana-3EN | Rotom-5HP, 5EN)

Yana gives chase, hopping up on the stage and waiting out her opponent. Burned considerably the specter slow floats back up, sparking blue and gathering it in a tight coiling ball. Rotom throws its Thunder Wave in hopes of slowing Yana down but she bares her teeth and flickers from our reality, avoiding the attack. She reappears behind the Rotom and head butts it off stage into the seating area.

Giving your pokémon a moment to breathe, you allow them to stay put while you wander around the chilling caverns curiously. The danger is minimal as the queen mamoswine had been thwarted, so you walk through the large, once intimidating cave with confidence. You scan the snow and find a small piece of paper next to the frozen remains of the mamoswine's former trainer, and decide to read it.

"If anyone out there finds this letter, my name is Sky Bridges - a pokémon trainer. I was wandering up here with my piloswine, Shiva, when a heavy snowstorm trapped us here. I don't know how much longer I'll last, but please, if you find this letter, inform my family of my unfortunate accident.

Signed,

Sky Bridges

You pocket the note, then decide to head out of the caverns along with your two pokemon, both of which have regained a handful of energy.

Oh right, it's all comin' back to me now...

Duckbot, Judge, it's time to switch dance partners. Duckbot, use Agility to slam into that Magmortar. He's gonna cause some unwanted problems, so upon making contact with your fiery foe, I want you to immediately Teleport both you and him somewhere far off - preferably to Ivy Lake or something. Then, when he's sunk in the ocean, Teleport back to us.

Agility / Teleport / Teleport

Meanwhile, Judge, you're going to take care of our weakened foe. Toss me the Great Ball, then use Sky Uppercut on your foe for the entire round. Meanwhile, if that Forretress is still around (I imagine so - he couldn't have left, being exploded and all), I'm gonna toss the Great Ball at him.

Status: Paralyzed and Poisoned (+2 damage per round)

The battle between you and the unfriendly locals of the warehouse continues as a fierce (and rather ugly) foe stomps forward. The Magmortar glares at the crates, waiting for the gigantic chicken underneath to dare and try to escape.

So, needless to say, the fugly lug is totally caught off-guard when Duckbot's blunt snout slams into him at high speed...

"CHAOS... CONTROL!"

...Just a fraction of a second before the two vanish in a flash of white light.

While this is happening, Judge begins to stir beneath the crates, their weight far too excessive for him to push off. Against his better judgement, the anthropomorphic avian uses a Sky Uppercut one round early, jettisoning himself in the air and tossing the Great Ball to you on the way down. He lands in a crouching position, the Great Ball landing in your hand at the same time.

Judge raises his clawed fists, eager to grapple with that Exploud...

...But in all the confusion, everyone seems to have forgotten that she ran away, hiding somewhere in the labyrinthine confines of the factory.

Judge looks at you apologetically; at the same time, Duckbot appears a few feet behind him, that Chaos Emerald tucked in its wing again and a computerized voice emitting from it:

"My apologies, Trainer Greyfox - I could not Teleport to an area I have not been to before. To compensate, I instead transported the attacking Magmortar to our most recent location."

--------------------------------------

Somewhere in the Crush Quarry, the Magmortar sits down in a huff, mulling over its current situation, when a Sandshrew approaches him with what appears to be a welcome gift.

...It's a rock.

--------------------------------------

Back at the warehouse, you sigh in irritation at the constant impediments to your plans and then turn back towards the corridor; amidst the rubble and splinters, a scorched, lumpy creature can be seen, half-buried and fully-incapacitated.

'Meh... a catch is a catch.' you think as you toss the Great Ball at the giant bagworm; it bounces off and draws the insect inside in a flash of pink let before returning to your hand. It doesn't shake or vibrate in the least - it merely vanishes in a crackling white flash, the Forretress inside in no condition to fight anymore. Congratulations - Forretress is yours.

Ahead of you, in a small clearing between the trees, you see, of all things, a red door with a gold knob, frame, and insignia on it. You open the door...

And suddenly, you're standing in a derelict cemetery surrounded by weeds, broken tombstones, fog, and all that cliche stuff. You ignore that and send Armada back out, the three of you keeping an eye out for Pokemon.

The three of you are not disappointed - within seconds, the Grave's Yard welcoming committee arrives: A couple of Haunter drift by, waving at you nonchalantly as they phase in and out of existence, and a Sableye stands atop a nearby rock, grinning an evil grin at you. High in the sky, a circling Honchkrow is dimly visible, circling high overhead, and closer to the ground, a few obviously-younger Murkrow are perched atop a... tree... not too far off... Huh...

You issue your commands to Duckbot and Judge, who nod and team up against the Exploud. Duckbot's eyes glow silver as they scan the warehouse via infrared visuals. It sees nothing but blue, purple, and black... But off in the distance, it spots a flash of red, orange, and yellow. Like the Yautja from Predator 2, the Porygon2's visuals shift through the spectrum, quickly revealing the light-colored blot to be the Exploud, exactly 35 feet and 7.4216 inches away, 27.84 degrees to the northeast. It relays this information to Judge, who nods and bounds easily over the warehouse machinery; Duckbot merely hovers over it, quickly locating its target.

The Exploud, realizing her cover has been blown, turns to face her assailants, only to get a Sky Uppercut and a blast of Electric energy for her efforts. She screams in a piercing tone, her Hyper Voice sending both Duckbot and Judge reeling.

The two Pokemon recover, Judge clenching a fist and Duckbot crackling with electricity again. Realizing that she's about to suffer another pair of attacks identical to the last two, the Exploud instantly Protects herself, Judge's fist and Duckbot's electrical blast bouncing right off it before it vanishes.

Duckbot, out of commands, instantly returns to you and informs you of Judge's location. You nod and quickly make your way there; in the meantime, Judge blasts a gout of scalding flames at the Exploud, who screams in agony as her skin is seared by the blast. She falls to her knees just as you and Duckbot arrive; you ready your Ultra Ball...

But wait! The Exploud, spotting the Ball in your hand, instantly gets back up and pounds her chest with her fists, and then she spews a blast of sound-laced water. The Water Pulse slams into Judge and sends him flying back into a crate, dazed.

As the Haunter float away, you quickly order Lumen to use Foresight on them; the owl nods and glares at them, his eyes glowing red; the Haunter instantly stop fading out of existence; they look at each other, confused, and then back at you. You quickly look away, acting as nonchalant as possible as your Snorlax steps behind you, his fear of the Haunter evident. Lumen pecks at the ground, hopping a few inches and trying to look as inconspicuous as possible.

After a long, tense moment, the Haunter finally look at each other, and then shrug and float away - the Foresight'll wear off sooner or later, they figure.

Quickly, you recall your two Pokemon and follow the Haunter - they drift past tombstone after tombstone, eventually entering an open mausoleum. You step up and peek inside...

The Ghosts are gone.

Sighing, you enter the mausoleum, cautiously looking around for any suspici-

WHAM!!

The doors slam shut behind you, locked by the two solidified Haunter, who chuckle and glare at you; one of them snaps his fingers...

Within seconds, dozens upon dozens of purple flames ignite in the air, quickly forming into giggling Gastly. At least twenty more Haunter materialize as well...

But there at the rear of the mausoleum, there stand three Gengar. The Ghosts begin to advance on you; you quickly re-release Armada and Lumen, preparing for a grand battle...

"GENGAR!!!!"

Every Ghost in the room falls dead silent, then floats to either side of the room as a dark figure steps forward...

It is a Gengar, yes, but this one is different from the others. A full 2 meters tall, she nearly rivals Armada in height, her typically red eyes an eerie pink and her vivid purple skin a dull greyish-indigo hue. She walks across the dusty mausoleum floor, stopping 6 meters from you. She speaks to you in her native language, and then she points at Lumen and the rest of the Ghosts in the room. She frowns and shakes her head, and then she points at Armada, and then at herself; she smiles and nods.

You look a little confused, but the Ghosts as well as your own Noctowl step back, and the queen Gengar and Armada take a step towards each other; you instantly understand. The queen has issued a challenge... Will you accept?

You watch the cuts heal on him for a bit before waving to Blade to follow you down to the waters edge.

With Blade keeping an eye out, you swing the rod over you head and cast it out as far as it will go. A Diglett pops up out of the sand and he watches you for a bit before disappearing under the sand once more. It takes a while but finally you get a good tug in your line. Blade watches as you fight with the Pokémon. You rod is quite bent but not enough to indicate it is something too large. With a finally great tug, you yank the catch up into the air.

Smirking, you switch tactics and order Duckbot to attempt a new strategy. Duckbot beeps and nods, its eyes glowing pink; at the same time, the Exploud glows pink as well; she Screeches once again, rattling Judge and Duckbot further. Still Duckbot maintains its grip as you hurl your Ultra Ball.

It strikes the Exploud and opens, sucking the boisterous Pokemon in in a flash of pink light. The ball flies back to your hand and shakes once... twice...

But there is no third shake - the ball bursts open and the Exploud re-emerges, Paralyzed, panting, and overall wiped out. She seems to have no chance to win now.

In a last-ditch act of defiance, the Exploud gets to her feet and glares at you, Judge, and Duckbot. She opens her mouth as the Psychic grip overtakes her once more...

And then, a single point of white light appears in the beast's mouth...

"Ex...EX...PLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUD!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You and Judge cover your ears as the Exploud launches a final, massive attack: a combination of Hyper Voice and Hyper Beam that engulfs Duckbot and sends it crashing through crates, machines, and finally into a cement wall before coming to rest.

Duckbot's holographic form fizzles and blurs as it attempts to get back up, floating forward and preparing to use Psychic once more, but the Exploud is spent. Her energy exhausted, and her systems Poisoned, she collapses to the floor, practically wiped out.

A grim expression on your face, you shake your head and toss the Ultra Ball once more; it draws the Exploud in and shakes once... twice... thrice... frice...

...DING.

It's over... The Exploud is yours. The Ball vanishes in a flash of white light; just then, you notice something painted on the wall of the warehouse, beside what appears to be a painting of an Ultra Ball...

As you ponder what this odd message could possibly mean, a familiar sound echoes over the village.

Both Pokemon fire their attacks at the exact same time - Armada's in the more of a beam, while the Gengar's is more of a shockwave. Both attacks hit their targets dead-center, dealing equally impressive amounts of damage.

Armada charges at the Gengar, opening his insatiable jaws wide and Crunching down on the Gengar's arm. She shrieks in pain and anger, delivering a pair of Brick Breaking punches with her other hand that send Armada reeling a few feet back.

The Snorlax shakes his head, then conjures another orb of energy in his hands; this time it is Ghost energy, which promptly fires at Gengar in the form of a Shadow Ball. She shivers as the attack tears through her, and then her body begins to spark; a massive Thunderbolt fires from it, striking Armada dead in the stomach and knocking him backwards.

What was the first attack she used? Shame Grey opened the Plateu when he left the Zone :p

Armada use a flamethrower, shadow ball then crunch

Thanks Grey. ^^

Alright Tin, let's use another Stone Edge, followed by a Iron Tail and finish with a Shockwave in case she's done anything tricky.

You cut loose the bored Starmie and he just dives back down, back to wherever he came from. You toss the line out and it's another long wait. As you staring out over the sea, a Rapidash canters down the beach, quite pleased with the world. He looks at you but doesn't seem to care much and just continues on. Another Diglett appears and she watches you fish. Oddly her, err lips are a blue colour and her skin seems just a tad darker then normal.

Finally your line gives a great yanks, causing you to stumble forward into the surf. You fight with it, but it zigzags in the water, lurching you around. You fight just as hard and finally you yank it up, a Huntail. He does not look pleased. Through all this drama, Ziz is oblivious, sleeping.

While not what I'm looking for, we may be able to get a deal out of this.

Blade, ask the Huntail if they've seen any Totodile or Dratini swimming around down there. If he's being co-operative, then as my end of the bargin I won't fish in this cove. If he's not up for dealing for the information, then let him go. However, if he feels like fighting, get ready, Ziz is still sleeping and it's not time for dinner...yet.

Sorry, Chris - it was Dark Pulse that she used during the first action last round.

The fierce battle between Armada and Queen Gengar rages on in the haunted mausoleum, neither of the 6'+ Pokemon letting up in the least.

Armada begins the round by inhaling a deep breath, and then he unleashes a loud burp... Wait, that's not a burp... it's a roar......?

FWOOOOOOOOOSH!!!

Yes, a roar. A roar of flames, to be exact: A massive jet of fire erupts from the Snorlax's mouth and envelops the Gengar, who cries out and responds by glaring at Armada; her eyes glow a ghostly purple...

Armada, despite his fear, smiles, knowing that no Ghost attack can hurt him...

BZZZAAKOW!!

The Snorlax screams and falls on his back as two ghostly bolts of energy slam into his gut. It's true, Ghost attacks are usually ineffective against Normal-types, but then again, Night Shade isn't really a 'usual' attack.

As Armada takes a long moment to get his fat self up, Queen Gengar conjures a thick green tendril of energy in her hands; she hurls it at the Snorlax, which connects with his chest with a crackle and begins to Giga Drain his very life force away. Groaning from the dull pain, Armada fights his way to his feet and puts his hands together, conjuring another Shadow Ball in his hands and firing it at the Ghost, knocking her back and disconnecting the Grass lifeline that connects them and tearing through the Ghost's defenses a bit as well.

Seeing an opening to strike, Armada charges at the Gengar and clamps his insatiable jaws on her other arm; she screeches and glows light blue, as does Armada; a split-second later, a shockwave of Psychic energy rips the Snorlax's jaws open and sends him crashing into a column, which crumbles like a house of cards under his weight.

Armada slowly gets up once again, but something is wrong... His mouth is still wide-open, and at a very bizarre angle no less...

This round kicks off in a similar fashion as the previous rounds: Armada, ignoring his aching jaw as best as he can, puts his hands together and charges a sphere of Ghost energy, then hurls it at the Queen Gengar, chilling her to the core. She counters with a Psywave, sending a series of rippling pink and purple psionic waves at Armada, making his head ache and his ears pop.

As Armada attempts to shake the shock of the attack off, the Gengar zooms in and Sucker Punches the Snorlax with a shadow-enshrouded fist. Armada grunts and falls back, irritated, and then he conjures an orb of electrical energy in his hands, which shimmers and shrinks down to a tiny point of light, before exploding outwards in a rippling yellow Shock Wave that tears through the Gengar.

The Queen falls back, her energy running dangerously low. Armada repeats his actions from the first round, firing another Shadow Ball at the regal ghoul and slamming her into a wall. The cornered Ghost is sweating by now; she scrambles to think of a counterattack, finally choosing to slam the Snorlax with an Ice Punch. The massive Pokemon stumbles back a few steps, the frigid punch giving him a nasty stomachache.

You call Snorlax off the weakened Gengar; Armada gladly steps aside, knowing what's coming as well as the Gengar queen does. You expand you yellow-and-black Ultra Ball in your hand, then hurl it; it whizzes through the air and strikes the ghastly empress, who can do little more than blink as it bursts open and sucks her in in a flash of pink light.

The Ultra Ball flies back into your hand, but rather than shaking, it lays perfectly still; a surprisingly gentle-sounding female voice echoes in your mind:

"Well done, trainer... You have proven your merit and earned my respect - as well as my power. Use it wisely..."

Then, the voice silences itself, just as abruptly as it spoke. Congratulations - Gengar is yours.

The cloud of confusion clears up enough for Yana to taunt the electric phantom. She growls and speaks nasty words to get a rise out of the Rotom and in doing so it rams her in the head, knocking the confusion away.

Still very peeved at the mutt Rotom sparks with power but Yana reacts with cunning speed and stealth. She fades into shadow which surprises the ghost and reappears behind the Rotom to tackle it with dark power covering her body. The blow throws Rotom to the stage again where its lies limply and flickers from one plane to the other.

Hopes this makes sense, had a long night and am tired. If it is confusing then jsut ask. *headdesk* Yana, start with faint attack. Then if that rotom is weak enough for capture i will throw my pokeball otherwise Yana will use pursuit. For last move if weakened enough throw poke ball if not then yana will use double team. So basically faint attack ~ Throw pokeball/pursuit ~ Throw pokeball/double team.

Spittin Chicklets holds up his elbow -- the stony, pointy, bastard elbow that he intends to crash down upon the insignificant insect. As he holds it over Skorupi intimidatingly, said skorupi closes her eyes and glistens while charging one of her stats at random. She shrills loudly as her attack power is increased valiantly, but then shrills loudly again as Tin's bastard elbow crashes down upon her for great damage.

Skorupi retaliates by firing off a collection of prickly missiles that bash Tin haphazardly. The large rock 'saurus pays the attack no mind, and instead slams his tail, now soaked in some sort of steel alloy (like a symbiote!), into her body, sending her flying into a wall for massive damage. Where're the giant enemy crabs when you need 'em? Tin's attacks don't stop, and he fires off a cackling electric surge that darts sharply through the air like a rather large bullet from a dinosaur-shaped gun. Oh, and the bullet is made of lightning too. Isn't that cool? Lightning bullets? Anyway, Skorupi's once-more hit with the attack, and she squeals in pain.

Blade nods to your instructions and flies out over the water and govers as he peaks to the hooked Huntail. The Huntail looks at him imperiously but when he hears his end of the deal he grins wickedly. He answers and snickers when he's done. Blade flies back and through a serious of slightly bizarre gestures communicates that there are no Totadile or Dratini anywhere down this beach. He looks irritated and you ask him what's the matter. He shakes his head and says simply that the Huntail was rather rude.

You glare at the Huntail, who's swimming back and forth, amused, but watching you carefully. You keep your end of the deal though and after you let him off you walk toward Ziz, to see if he is waking soon. He smirks and dives back for the depths. Behind you, Ziz rolls in his sleep, and shows some signs of waking soon.
