Crown34 vs. Metallix Girl (ref: DL til Ossy gets back!)

[crown34]

The stage is Pokemon Floats. I don't particularly care about abilities or about any banned moves my opponent wants.

[Oslo]

Will ref.

[crown34]

Okay still need an opponent, but thanks for reffing Oslo.

[Metallixs Girl]

I'll take you on, and I don't care about banning moves but I'd like to use abilities, if you would, and who goes first?

[crown34]

I'm game,so abilities are on.

[Metallixs Girl]

Okay then, I'll send out my new Venonat, Magenta Female with Tinted Lenses (She's not in my banner or VS yet)

[crown34]

I'll send out Zenji my Mudkip with Torrent.

[Oslo]

Since MxG released first, you should be commanding first, Crown.

[crown34]

Okay, Zenji use Ancient Power, Aqua Tail and then end with a Dive

[Oslo]

Is Zenji male or female?

[Metallixs Girl]

Okay Magenta, your first battle! Use Agility to evade the Ancientpower, then Signal Beam and Swift.

A few notes on the arena before I begin:

> battle takes place high up in the air on an oversized Pokemon balloon that is peculiarly solid and can't be popped/distorted
> after 2-5 rounds, the balloon you're on will begin to lose altitude and your Pokemon will be forced to jump to a new balloon at the expense of one action
> Frozen/Sleeping Pokemon will sense this loss in altitude and, in a panic, will overcome their statuses to make the transfer
> all Pokemon, even mobility challenged ones (think: Probopass or Snorlax) can hop
> the balloons strengthen attacks based on the type (eg. Chikorita balloons boost Grass-type moves, Salamence balloons boost Dragon and Flying moves, etc.)
> only Pokemon physically touching the balloon gain the boost (flying/Levitating Pokes are out of luck)
> moves that require solid ground (Earthquake, Ingrain, etc.) will fail
> any Pokemon that fall off the balloon will be saved by my Swellow

‡ Round 1 ‡

Woohoo, Pokefloats! A kallion balloons, a kajillion miles up in the air and a kajillion volts of pure awesome running through every action-packed second… what more could you want? Today, two trainers will do battle atop the many inflatable Pogeys here. I stand beside Metallixs Girl and Crown34 atop the motorized flying trainer platform while Tweety, my trusty Swellow, is prepared to pick up any Pokemon unfortunate enough to fall. Let’s do this!

As the match begins, the two trainers eye an incoming Gligar balloon and toss their Pokeballs onto its belly. Out pops a spritely purple bug and a wee blue mudskipper that exchange looks charged with competitive spirit. Aaand… they’re off!

Zenji begins by closing his eyes and commanding a battalion of small rocks to come swooping out of nowhere. Wide-eyed and alert, Magenta dekes and dives past each of these intruding meteorites and sprints circles around her foe, upping her speed in the process. Somebody’s been eating her Wheaties.

Magenta: <-4 EP; +2 Spd>
Zenji: <-4 EP>

Feeling awfully speedy, Magenta quickly unleashes a twin beams that pulsate red and green as they spiral around each other in a double-helix fashion. The attack rips into Zenji, giving the Mudkip the most piercing headache imaginable, but he remains strong as he bounds over toward his foe. He brings his water-infused tail slamming into his Venonat opponent, causing her to tumble backward. Nobody likes a wet bug.

Magenta: <-6 HP; -8 EP>
Zenji: <-9 HP; -4 EP>

Raising a brow, Magenta peers at her foe with a dumbfounded expression as he… er… tries to doggedly to Dive into the Gligar balloon. How is this supposed to work, anyway? Realizing that he isn’t going to be able to claw through the rubber, Zenji improvises by pressing his body flat to the ground in an attempt to avoid incoming attacks. The attempt is actually pretty decent and might have actually worked, but the golden stars that come spinning forth manage to strike Zenji with impeccable accuracy. Better luck next time?

Magenta: <-4 EP>
Zenji: <-5 HP>

‡ Round 2 ‡

As the next round begins, Magenta bounces toward Zenji and gives her body a little shake. Purplish power begins to issue from her fur and coats Zenji from head to tail. All of a sudden, the little Mudkip starts feeling awfully queasy. Still, he pulls it together by commanding another army of rocks to do his bidding. This time, they connect with Magenta and pummel the Venonat ruthlessly.

Magenta: <-9 HP; -4 EP>
Zenji: <-4 EP; Poisoned>

Okay, ow? Shaking her head, Magenta goes for another close-range move, this time sinking her wee Venonat fangs into Zenji’s arms. Oww! Annoyed, Zenji opens wide and just about explodes with a concentrated burst of water that launches the lightweight Venonat clear off the Gligar balloon! Egads! Fortunately, Tweety is there with a swift recovery and snatches Magenta up safely before returning her to the balloon. Phew, close one.

Magenta: <-11 HP; -4 EP>
Zenji: <-6 HP; -10 EP>

After those two doozeys, Magenta is looking more than a little ruffled. Bending over, she charges toward Zenji as pinkish energy blossoms around the crown of her head. The Zen Headbutt collides with Zenji, knocking the Mudkip onto his butt, but he seems relatively unruffled. In fact, the little mudskipper is so unperturbed that he looks, well, downright bored. He opens wide and Yawns, causing Magenta to feel a little on the drowsy side all of a sudden. Uh-oh.

‡ Round 3 ‡

Okay, the third round of our little scuffle begins and… the fighters are tuckered out already? Geez! In unison, Magenta and Zenji close their eyes and decide to take a little nap. What an exciting turn of events.

Magenta: <+20 HP; -15 EP; Asleep>
Zenji: <+20 HP; -15 EP; Asleep>

While Magenta slumbers away, Zenji’s subconscious mind is still ready to kick a little Venonat behind. Suddenly, the Mudkip begins babbling in his sleep and begins shining with pure white light. Just like that, the little mudfishy looks a lot less ill. Yaay!

Magenta: <+6 EP>
Zenji: <-5 EP; Poisoned no more>

Without warning, the chipper smiling Gligar balloon on which our battlers are perched… begins losing altitude! Ahh! No! Blissfully unaware as they sleep away, the balloon starts drifting down beneath the cloud cover. Suddenly, some primal instinct seizes both Magenta and Zenji and they stir from sleep to see clouds milling around them. Uh-oh! Peering left and right, the two fighters look for anything else upon which they can stand and… ooh, lookie! Magenta spots a balloon shaped like a purple-skinned woman just bobbing along and, one by one, the two Pogeys make the jump. Fortunately, the Jynx balloon lifts them up out of the clouds. Ahh, much better.

Magenta: <; Awake>
Zenji: <; Awake>

Lights out, sucker! As Zenji starts flexing his guns in an attempt to Attract Magenta, the Venonat gives her body a little shake and lets off a cloud of white powder. The tiny little motes settle over Zenji before the Attract can take hold and it becomes clear that it’s time for another nap for this little guy. Night-night.

Magenta: <-4 EP>
Zenji: <Asleep>

As Zenji resumes his lazy ways, Magenta releases a conic burst of Psychic-type energy. Ooh, I smell a balloon boost! The Mudkip slides a bit down the Jynx’s inflatable dress, but remains asleep.

Magenta: <-4 EP>
Zenji: <-11 HP; Zzz>

This time around, Magenta uses her powers to hoist Zenji up into the air. Then, she brings the slumbering mudfishy slamming down into the balloon. Ouchies, looks painful.

‡ Round 5 ‡

While Zenji sleeps away, Magenta does a little hop on the spot to summon the sun. As hot light cloaks the arena in warmth, Zenji starts mumbling in his sleep. Suddenly, the Mudkip opens his mouth and spews out tiny spheres of white light that collide with Magenta in a contained onslaught. The Venonat tumbles backward in a daze. Stupid sleeping so-and-so.

Magenta: <-6 HP; -4 EP>
Zenji: <-5 EP; Zzz>

Giving a little stir, Zenji opens his eyes wide. Yay, awake once more! The first sight to greet the little mudfishy is a concentrated beam of green energy that collides with him and throws him nearly all the way off the balloon. Zenji manages to grab hold of one of the Jynx balloon’s rubbery tresses and pulls him up to safety. Sore from that hit, Zenji still manages to let loose a colossal blast of water that leaves Magenta more than a little drenched.

Magenta: <-6 HP; -11 EP>
Zenji: <-19 HP; -10 EP; Awake>

For the second time in a row, Magenta soaks in the hot sunlight and releases it in another energy blast. Once again, Zenji pulls himself up and fires a blue-white beam Magenta’s way. What with the balloon boost and all, the Ice Beam deals a little added kick to the little purple buggy.

Magenta: <-14 HP; -11 EP>
Zenji: <-19 HP; -8 EP>

‡ Round 6 ‡

As the sun blazes overhead, Magenta winks and smiles at her foe. Zenji blushes and finds himself Attracted to the little Venonat all of a sudden. Uh-oh. Either way, he’s still able to unleash a torrent of water her way, but the sun saps a bit of its strength.

Magenta: <-7 HP; -3 EP>
Zenji: <-10 EP; Atr>

Before either combatant can issue moves, the Jynx balloon upon which they’re perched begins to slowly drift downward. Shiiit! Looking left and right, Magenta and Zenji try to find a… ooh, wait, there’s one right here! In unison, the two Pogeys make the hop and wave goodbye to the descending rubber Jynx. This new balloon is squishy and pink and oh-so-cute!

Magenta: <>
Zenji: <>

Okay, unpause. In unison, the two Pogeys trade off a Signal Beam for a Hydro Pump. All of a sudden, as the red-green pulse strikes Zenji, the little Mudkip feels his brains scramble on the spot. He stumbles about dizzily. Oh crap.

Magenta: <+6 EP>
Zenji: <-3 HP from Confusion>

As Magenta continues regaining energy, Zenji gives the ol’ AncientPower thing another go, but can’t seem to muster up the initiative to strike such a lovely purple ball of fluff. Those emotionless eyes… those impractical little hands… has beauty ever shone brighter?

Magenta: <+6 EP>
Zenji: <Can’t move!>

Alrighty, break time over. The Venonat hops to her feet and blasts Zenji with a SolarBeam, causing him to fall down lifelessly, defeated.

‡ Round 8 ‡

The trainer quietly recalls his fallen Mudkip before making his second selection of the battle. He gives his Pokeball a toss and out comes a black-feathered birdie who looks ready to exact some revenge. With wicked speed and faultless accuracy, Murkrow swoops in toward Magenta and rakes his talons all over the purple fluffball. Magenta counters by winking at Murkrow and trying to Attract him… and it looks like it’s working. A dopey smile floats across the birdie’s face and he doesn’t look like he’s in the right state of mind for battling.

Magenta: <-10 HP; -3 EP>
Murkrow: <-3 EP; Atr>

Feeling a little amorous, Murkrow nonetheless manages to beat his wings and tear off skyward. Watching her foe escape into air high above our balloon, Magenta tries knocking the birdie out of orbit with a red-green beam, but the move doesn't even come close to hitting our crow friend. Laame!

Magenta: <-7 EP>
Murkrow: <Flyin’…>

Turning back down toward the chipper Clefairy balloon, Murkrow again bypasses his Attraction toward Magenta and dive-tackles the Venonat with a full aerial charge. Magenta, a little sore after that monster hit, closes her eyes and begins to take a break. Battling is hard, guys!

‡ Round 9 ‡

As the next round begins, Magenta creates a purple baton out of energy and flicks it skyward. Before Murkrow can act, Magenta glows red and returns to her Pokeball. The trainer plucks a replacement ball from her belt and gives it a toss, summoning a steel-winged bird into the fray. The Skarmory catch the falling baton in his beak, receiving a sudden boost in Speed. Fun!

All of a sudden, Murkrow seems to be broken out of his lovestruck reverie. With faultless Accuracy, Murkrow swoops in toward Sterling and rakes his talons across the Skarmory’s steely plumage, but the attack doesn’t seem to have left too strong of an impression.

Magenta: <-5 EP; -2 Spd>
Murkrow: <-3 EP; Attracted no more>

Sterling: <-2 HP; +2 Spd>

Smirking, Sterling opens his pointy beak wide and begins shrieking uncontrollably. The sharp Metal Sound causes Murkrow to let out a strident cry as his Special Attack stat plummets, but he’s not out of this just yet. The big bad crow unleashes a blast of Dark-type energy, but again, Sterling only seems to take minimal damage.

Sterling: <-3 HP; -4 EP>
Murkrow: <-4 EP; -2 SpD>

Ready to head on the offensive, Sterling summons a blustery wind flecked with snow and ice to come wailing through the air. The cold sets into Murkrow and deals an impressive load of damage, but he retaliates with a Psychic burst that drives Sterling into the head of the Clefairy balloon beneath them. Though the attack successfully puts a tiny dent in the Armour Bird Pokemon’s Special Defence, Sterling largely remains unfazed.

Sterling: <-5 HP; -3 EP; -1 SpD>
Murkrow: <-11 HP; -9 EP; -1 Spd>
