Master of Paradox vs. Blademaster (DL 'cause I'm sick like that.)

[Master of Paradox]

Since Blade has an open spot in his roster, and I feel the need to get back into the game as long as I'm here, I challenged Blade to a simple battle. He accepted, and here we are.

The rules:
- Three Pokemon each.
- No abilities, since that rule was added while I was away and I'm not used to it yet.
- No moves barred.
- Who calls out first will be decided by the ref. The one who calls out second makes the first move.

Our location: The Neon City Helipad.

Neon City is a bustling metropolis, thus named because the lights are never truly off, no matter what the hour. The city is in full swing tonight. This helipad is atop one of the tallest buildings in the city, and is currently free of traffic. A tall barricade keeps the wind from blowing the Pokemon away. From time to time, searchlights sweep this rooftop. All around the rooftop are the lights of the city, including several giant TV screens playing advertisements.

It's good to be back.

[DarkestLight]

HO. MY shit! Mine Back off!!! ::Waves bologne::

Damn you MoP. Its great to see you pop back for a limited time x_x. Honesty wanted to have a battle with you for who knows how long, but we'll see how that works out later.

And the order issss...you MoP

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

hi mop, sup?

[Master of Paradox]

Nothin', dawg.

Anyway, I open this, my return engagement, with my Starmie, Light.

[Blademaster]

I'm going to fight fire with fire... but with water.

...

Grand Star (Starmie [N])!!! I choose YOU!

Let's start off easy on him, shall we?

Use Rain Dance. Then use Psychic to fling Light across the roof, and gun it down with a Thunder attack in mid-air.

Use Magic Coat if it tries any status attacks.

[Master of Paradox]

Light, let's get things under way with a Thunder once the rain starts. Swift to knock the other Starmie off-balance when it tries to grab you with the Psychic, and then Protect yourself from the return Thunder.

Thunder-Swift-Protect

===Round 1===

Ahh the lights, the city lights! You never know what you can find here. DL here everyone, with a exclusive match for you all to witness today. Was have Blademaster, of Glitz Pit Infamy-taking on Master of Paradox, a veteran of the game! They're both using a Starmie to open this rooftop rumble, so lets get it on!

Light and GrandStar both start to revolve around each other, but for two different reasons. GS begins to draw the clouds in, making the lighted city's up that much more intense up here, while Light begins to call the lightning and Thunder. As soon as the first few drops falls, out follows a Thunder-shocking GS immensely.

L: -10E ===///=== GS: -4E/-20H
RD: 3 rds

Grand Star smolders intensely, and rises back to even height with Light. Light starts to attain a vertical position, but Grand star shoots out Psychic force that flings Light like a shuriken across the roof. Even in this motion, Light manages to fire off ministarmie shaped stars of its own-each tagging one leg of Grand Star.

L: -4E/-5H ===///=== GS: -7E/-5H

Light rotated fast enough for its forward momentum to stop, and was bathed in a bright blue light from one of the signs a few feet below. As Light zoomed forward to cover the distance between them, GS tried for a massive Thunder itself. The rain helped the bolt shoot down toward Light, but Light erected a barrier. The powerful electric bolt splayed and dispersed in all directions as Light sliced through it.

===Round 1===

As the echidnoderms fly around this rooftop, each decides to start off with a aerial assault,. They swoop at each other, and while stars alight Grand, a massive Thunder razes Light and sends it flopping on the rooftop. The excess electricity flies through conduit cables and makes a few signs glow even brighter in the rain.

L: -4E/-20H ===///=== GS: -10E/-5H

Smoldering, Light tries to fire off a Thunderbolt, but Grand star is atop of it, and shoots another Thunder right from its stomach to Light's gem! Light electrocuted like no ones buisness, ueses the spare electricity to refract and throw a small portion of it back to Grand Star, creating a backlash.

That Thunderbolt gave Grand something to think about.

L: -8E/-20H ===///=== GS: -10E/-16H

Grand Spun in place as Light now shot off an even smaller excess charge from those two hits. Grand smirked and watched the wave band around its body, before a thin veil made itself apparent. The waves bounced back and shot right for Light. Light had no choice but to succumb to paralysis.

===Round 2===

Grand Star and Light square off under the stark glare of a spotlight as it sweeps across the field. Glad these starfish don't have eyes. As the light sweeps the field, Light finds out that its limbs are still functioning and manages to wrap that Thunderbolt around its own body, before sending it back with a Psychic affront!

L: -5E/-14H ===///=== GS: -8E/-16H

Light floated upward and tried to set itself up for the next act, but found its body unable to move. The light show from the spotlights doesn't help and Light is struck by a brilliant ray.

L: *par* ===///=== GS: -2E

With Light undergoing a nice bout of parafusion, Grand Star fires a second Thunderbolt to try and get a foothold on the lead. Light flops on the roof, hurt pretty bad from that strike.

As lights stop sweeping along the helipad, Grand Star floats up to a lofty height. This way, it can see whatever comes, or doesn't come its way. For the first few moments, it looks like nothing. So Grand Star decides to give that resting Light a little jolt. Nothing like a Thunderbolt to snap you out of confusion!

L: @_@-16H ===///=== GS: -8E

Paralysis relinquished, and Light knew that it had to make a comeback. SO with all the energy of the ...well not the storm but the sky, a Thunder was called upon that lowered Grand Star back to the helipad rather forcefully. Grand Star managed to funnel alot of that energy and throw it at Light, encased in a purplish pink orb of hate.

Grand Star, use Substitute, Recover, and Confuse Ray. We're going defensive for now.

Kill the substitute as quickly as you can, Pudge. A good Slash should settle that.

===Round 4===

Neon City seems to give an extra boost of glowing as Pudge drops down silently. Blade hisses at the Pokemon of choice, and Grand Star draws back, spinning rapidly. A piece of the gem in its center flips out, acts as a shiny beacon for Pudge. It's irresistible; it seems and Pudge begins to bat at with with a kitten's curiosity. Pudge is heavypawed and Slashes the gem a few times, watching it crumble into still enchanting pieces.

Watching from a few feet away, Grand Star hopes this works out...

P: -5E ===///=== GS: -7E/-10H Sub: 2H

Still enamored with the shining pieces left, Pudge now decides to light up the pieces with a Thunder. The blast hits the remainder of the Substitute, leaving only ashes and smoke that flies away. Grand Star thanks the heavens and tries to heal away the pain, but realizes its energy reserves are damn near empty. It takes almost all it has in order to heal a great deal.

P: -10E ===///=== GS: -15E/+20H

Grand Star backs up and erects a shield, as Pudge realizes the true target was standing idly by. Hissing at the true Grand Star, Pudge noticed a short but brilliant Ray was fired. The feline manages a barrier to deter the bright lights from Grand, and watches Grand slump over in exhaustion.

You act like I'm dumb enough to attack it again. I'm smarter than that now.

===Round 5===

Pudge strides over as the starfish seems to slump over. Encircling his prey, the feline goads it by slashing its backside twice. Grandstar wriggles, but otherwise, makes no motion to attack.

P: -5E ===///=== GS: +6E/-8H

Pudge keeps circling the echinoderm, and Slashes its front side as well, glad to see a prey that knew defeat. Batting it around was just out of consequence

P: -5E ===///=== GS: +6E/-8H

But the limp prey always grow boring. Pudge felt no more danger from Grand Star, so what was there to do o this rooftop. Sleep! He circled around a spot twice before lying down, in full view of GrandStar. The second Pudge's head hit the ground, Grand Star's body popped up. Pudge freaked, and jumped backwards, but the trap had already been set. A strange set of beams extended from each of Star's hands and they each connected to Pudge.

Acting like plungers on needles, Star began zapping the life force from Pudge, and adding it to its own. It took nearly all its energy again, but now things were even.

This was unnerving. Pudge hissed and crackled as electricity rained all over its body, releasing itself in a violent volley. The blast threw Grandstar into a sign bulb, causing a severe gash along its backside. Afterr falling from the sign, Grandstar lied on the roof, still pooped

P: -10E ===///=== GS: -25H/+6E

Grandstar though, was not out of the woods. Pudge ran over and slashed him feverishly. It had some oomph behind it too, giving Grandstar cause for concern. Why sit through all this?

Pudge meowed and tried to end this match while the spotlight was on hm. Well they were scanning the roof actually, but that's not the point. The point is, Pudge goes for another crackling rage of energy, which is spread everywhere by a barrier! Grand Star waddles backwards, winded from that.

P: -10E ===///=== GS: -10E

This Starfish was living for FAR too long. Pudge ran up to it, and even through the blinding glare of the neon lights, slashes the water dweller successfully. However, Pudge gets a nice heaping amount of sludge all over its body. Yech. (-2)

P: -5E Txc===///=== GS: -3E/-8H

Feeling better about Star's condition now, Pudge takes three steps back. Star fires off a blast of water to keep the cat at bay, and it works. Pudge literally vanishes into thin air.

Actually, that bodes bad because Pudge reappears alongside Star and slams him into the back of a bright orange sign. Star is electrocuted to unconsciousness. Pudge hacks a lil bit (-1) but its just a hairball....prolly.

===Round 8===

We return with Grand Star to Blademaster's side of the rooftop arena, where he contemplates his next choice. Deciding on trying something a bit fresher, he opts for a younger addition to his team. A spry antlion walks out, and clamps its mighty jaws once.

A second chap, and Pudge notes the sky start to have a whistling sound attached to it. The neon lights go dim, and the sound of some bulbs being cracked can be heard. A Sandstorm is whistling over the roof, and about to descend on them both! Pudge will have none of that however, He runs around, meowing as the sands strike in the beginning (-2H), but soon turn into just heavy drops of dirty water. The winds now bring clouds, and with that, no chance of a continued Sandstorm.

P: -4E ===///=== C: -4E

Determined to put a serious dent in this thing's hide, Pudge runs over and...gets a hefty amount of Mud in the face. Seems Chomplet had his mouth open the whole time for the sandstorm AND the beginning of the rain. Quite easy to make a Mud-Shot from that. Ew (-2h). Wiping the heavier clumps off, Pudge slaps the damn animal, trying to bat it off the roof.

P: -3E/-9H ===///=== C: -6E/-5H

A second smack to force that thing back, and Pudge felt confident he could knock it all the way to the FR_ _ I_ _ E R_ _ _ sign that was flickering due to the sand storm. The letters would soon show up. Pudge didn't count on Chomplet retaliating with an earthern blast that flew up from below and blasted him backwards. What was this thing!(-2h)

===Round 9===

Pudge looks pretty ragged right now. Its hacking up poisonballs all over the place (-3). Looking all mangy, he decides to take it easy, as these blistering sands cut its face up a lil more (-1). Chomplet however, figures that's enough, and conjures up the sun to come and slap this storm away. The Neon signs find it a blessing as well, as their lightbulbs wont no longer be under excessive strain.

P: +6E ===///=== C: -4E

Feelign a bit more focused, Pudge hacks summore, and ends up releasing a bevy of seeds. It wasn't sure what it could have eaten that would allow for so many large Seeds to leave its stomach like that(-3), but the attack bombards Chomplet pretty heavily.

Chomlet takes the hit, and retaliates with an ethereal robbery. Pudge's already declining health drops to an even lower level. To make matters a bit more favorable, that health is given back to Chomplet.

P: -8E/-10H ===///=== C: -8E/-16H/+5H

For such a powerful hit, Chomplet didn't seem too phazed about quickly ending this. But Pudge did. With the heat on, the next attack didn't get as much oomph as it needed for Pudge's plan(-3), but there was a side effect Chomplet wasn't planning on. The Pulse hit, and left Chomplet with in a daze.

The confident little antlion tried for a Fissure, but the splitting Rooftop went in the complete opposite direction, breaking a sign in two as the building now sported a hefty crack.

Pudge hisses, as Chomplet walks around chomping its maw in rhythm. Keeping his tail curled around himself, Pudge manages to fire a second Water Pulse. It seems to have an effect of the small ground type, but Pudge seems to have trouble seeing right now.(-4). Chomplet manages to focus, and pushes the confusion to the very back of his mind.

P: -4E ===///=== C: -4E/-10H

Knowing that the battle could be over damned quickly with this sickness, Pudge lies down, right as Chomplet runs over. Determined to rest, Pudge hissed and tucked his head in his arms. Chomplet linked up with Pudge's energy as Pudge seemed to fall instantly in a trance. A combination of energies were grown and transferred, but at the end of the day...(-4)

Pudge is asleep-barely alive. Chomplet is a little healthier, and this match continues anew

P: -25E/+35H/-10H ===///=== C: -8E/+5H

Pudge sleeps soundly, cured of its inherently dangerous poisoning. Chomplet does not seem too phazed In fact, he's ecstatic that the cat is asleep. A hefty bite into Pudge's chubby belly offers Chomplet a nice swath of health back..as well as a immunity to the deadly Toxic!

Pudge rolls over, dead asleep. It seems all its energy in that last attack, and needs some time to recover a bit.
