Bump for ref
I believe I nicknamed my Carvanha Sharkie, sorry forgot to mention that.
Hmmmmmm. Toxic is troubling, and Memento ain't looking too good either.
We'll just have to Ice Beam until he's out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next round begins with a frozen ghost, who conjures up...the sun! The bright heat starts melting the ice around him, but Sharkie isnt going to have this, so she sends out a beam of ice, harming the ghost pokemon and for the moment keeping him in place.
Tyrant: (-6 HP, -4 EN) / Sharkie: (-5 EN)
The ice is still melting, but not fast enough...another ice beam from Sharkie, and that's all she wrote for Tyrant. The ghost pokemon goes down, and Sharkie feels the poison as the round comes to a close.
Tyrant: (-6 HP) / Sharkie (-4 HP, -5 EN)

Ok, Sharkie, let's use agility, then water pulse, then try to hit him with a blizzard.
Forgot to mention: 9-volt has Static.
He's going for agility, so we'll bypass that with Thunderwave. Then, Toxic him for lots of damage, and finish off with a Thunderbolt.

Tagging in for the man with the plan. I'm in Lavender Tower again. Hate this place. Creepy phantoms. Fufufufufuu! Anyway, Dryk's little fishie throws a wrench in Chaos' phantstic plans, and now he's gotta quick sub out and introduce a shock player in the midst. Sharkie flops around pretty fast for a fish outta water, but 9-volt is on it. That haphazard bolt zigzags faster than Sharkie and plows right in his face.
9: -2E ===///=== Sh: -3E Par +2 Spd
Slowed down now, Sharkie looks as Volt comes over, trying to show of his muscles. Sharkie however, spits at him. 9-volt takes a step back, not happy with being wet.
Mainly because now he's headed towards a grave. Confusion!
9: -3E/-5H Cfn ===///=== Sh: -4E
9 volt looks around and begins digging up a grave DUDE WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Sharkie laughs and fires off a pinpoint Blizzard at him. The Ice coats everything, walls, tombstones, even gives the ground a nice frostbitten layer that messes with 9's fingers. Oooh chilly.

9 Volt and Sharkie seemed completely out of it. I say this because 9 volt turend to focus on another grave-and fire a Signal Beam at it! Sharkie found this amusing, but went with instinct and fired a Water Pulse to keep the fun times going!
9: -6E/-4H ===///=== Sh: -4E
However, the fun stops here, as Sharkie clenches up bad. The fish begins to sink, and it does not help that the only sign of someone noticing is yellow-sparking and throwing a Thunderbolt at your dorsal fin.
9: -7E ===///=== Sh: Par -18H
Not pleased about paralysis, Sharkie bobs back up and manages to focus MORE than enough water from this Tower to go and billow forth. Sure some of it is from the sea. It flies forth as 9 Volt fires a second Signal Beam-and manages to wash over the beam. 9 Volt is still hit-but the hit is reduced significantly

Sharkie groans a bit, that is getting quite painful. But he peserveres, as 9 volt goes to enhance the gloomy mood of this town. As the electric cat dances, Sharkie flops over and Crunches on his tail. 9-Volt freaks out and dances hard, snapping his tail so Sharkie is flung off-but that stupid things' skin hurts!
But the dance is done and the rain falls. Sharkie like

So....we got rain, and we got an Electric type that's staring, studying the clouds. We got an unwitting fish conjuring up a nasty Blizzard as well. What do we get?

Sharkie stays back and pummels the hell out of the Electabuzz with another well aimed Hydro Pump. Its still a bit weaker, but it gets its job done. including adding a smoky mess to the frosty one. Eletabuzz shakes howev er-its attempt at using Fire punched thawed it out, but the Hydro Pump stopped it from reaching any further.
9: -6E/-12H ===///=== Sh: -8E
Fist hurt from the rapid cooling, Electabuzz went back to doing something that works. A Thunderbolt flew from the Pokemon and Sharkie rolled with the punch! Shaking that hit off, Sharkie fired another Blizzard, and the cold snap gave Electabuzz shivers once more.
9: -8E/-9H ===///=== Sh: -10E/-18H
Sharkie now tries for a Dark Pulse, and Electabuzz snickers, before firing
anotehr Thunderbolt. Sure, the Pulse hit, but it was kinda weak, and the Thunderbolt, that's kinda strong. Sharkie rolls over, defeated.

Down to his last, Dryk tries to even things up swiftly with Lyg. The big mouthed ant chomps once and goes after 9 -volt, who jumps away hurriedly, holding his tail Using electromagnetic forces, he flies upward, barely evading the Mud Shot that came from Lyg. Nasty mouths on those things.
9: -8E ===///=== Lyg: -5E

With him flying now, Lyg now tried a different approach. Falling rocks always seemed to stop many a Pokemon that flew. 9 Volt grunted and dove down to punch the stupid ground ant, but didn't note the rocks that shot over to entomb him. As such he was hovering, yet pinned under a nice layer of Rocks.
Lyg shook off the hit and climbed out of the grave.
9: -6E/-6H ===///=== Lyg: -4E/-12H
Trapped, 9 Volt punched at the walls, but only succeeded in icing them a fair bit where he splintered the rock. Not smart. But there was a nasty draining feeling that was localize don his tail. Lyg found a way to zap the mighty 9 volt.

Chaos groans, and releases his final Pokemon, a hefty Kangaskhan named Smack. The large Pokemon bellows, but Lyg is fearless! No foe is too big! It scuttles over and slams its head down on the ground, forcing many a Tombstone and soft earth up to hit Smack in the face. Smack retaliated with a watery hit herself, knocking the antlion over.
Smack: -4E/-9H ===///=== Lyg: -7E/-12H
Lyg got up from that hit, but as the Ice Beam came hurtling his way, he was already behind a grave digging. The Beam hit the Tombstome and effectively sealed off Lyg's entryway. Crap.
Smack: -8E ===///=== Lyg: -3E
Smack waits patiently, until the ground rises up next his feet. Once Lyg comes up and bites Smack on her foot, the kangaroo laughs as a huge tidal wave of ocean water grabs Lyg and drags him off and away. That's pain.
