So lets see, who do I have that needs exp

Scytherunner <-- Dragonis and GusGus
Boogaloo <-- Razor and Inox (Aron)

[DarkestLight]

Yay for RL reffing some. Don't fret people, more than one ref is welcome!! Its all for the name of exper--ERR wait a second.

Papa....I just looked at Wreckin' Balls. It doesn't evolve. Pick between Palmsmack and Gasknapper. Match can continue as normal, just need you to pick one that actually evolves..

[Dragonis]

GusGus is my shiny male Trapinch (Arena Trap). Is that who you thought it was, DL? Who attacks first?

[DarkestLight]

Shire. Its not. Its still has an advantage, though not so great now.

Scytherunner is my M Houndour (Flash Fire) You attack.

[Dragonis]

Alright then here we go...

Gus start off with Sandstorm, then trap him in a Rock Tomb. After that shake things up with an Earthquake. Feint if he tries to Protect (or Detect) anything after Sandstorm

[DarkestLight]

Don't like sand.

Like Trapinches. Alright. Scythe.

Nasty Plot up. We'll deal with the storm.
Then Sucker Punch it. End with Crunch

~Charles Legend[/color]

[papabopp]

[DarkestLight]

No not yet!

[RaZoR LeAf]

ROUND ONE

The first of several experience ganing matches begins with Darkest Light releasing the first of his many pokemon. Scytherunner, the aptly named Scyth..houndour? Huh. Well if you were thinking this pokemon would be a Scyther, then you were a little naive. The houndour bounds around, grinning to the audience, whilst Dragonis releases a shiny, moss green coloured Trapinch that comps it's big maw and stares out with it's beady black eyes. It takes a few steps around first, then sniffs the ground. It quickly becomes accustomed to it's arena, noticing the best spots to attack from, and the quickest points from A to B. The trainers issue commands then take a step back, and the two pokemon start their quest for battle experience.

Gusgus scuffs his feet against the ground and starts to whip up a sandstorm. The tiny grains of sand and dust move out from his body and start to flow around the arena like a tempest. Scytherunner grumbles as the grit rubs against his body. He lowers his head and starts doing some numbers. Maybe leaping across the arena, sliding to the right, rolling around and then biting Gusgus on the backside? Heh heh heh.. that's nasty. Dreaming up mean and sneaky ways to attack your foe is a great way to boost your self-esteem and special powers. Scytherunner looks up at his foe, a vicious gleam in his eye.

Gusgus HP(-0) PP(-6)
Sandstorm at 100%

GusGus seems oblivious to his foe's plotting. The little antlion hops forward and summons four rocks out of the ground. The rocks jab upwards quickly around Scytherunner, but the Houndour was expecting it. He leaps up and out of the way to dodge the attack, but gets caught on the back leg and ends up toppling down the rock face and landing on the floor with a bump. He shakes it off and runs at the Trapinch, nutting him in the side. Gusgus grunts at the attack, but is pleased to see that his arena trap led him to perfectly plan the attack, and still hurt his foe.

Scytherunner HP(-5) PP(-4) ~ HP(-2) from Sandstorm ~ Spd(-1)
Gusgus HP(-8) PP(-2)

Finally the two pokemon face each other in close quarters. Gusgus lets out a low growl, then opens his huge mouth quickly and lets out a powerful-for-a-little-guy roar. A wave of energy moves out from him into the ground, and ripples through the arena, catching Scytherunner off guard and knocking him around as the floor quakes beneath him. As the ripples end, the feisty fire type lunges at Gusgus and chomps down hard. Black energy crackles beneath his teeth, as he shakes his head back and forth, finally throwing the ground type back into the centre of the sandstorm.

ROUND ONE

After a disappointing first round, Scytherunner sets his sights on doing a lot more damage than before. He's a little short off the mark, and as he is about to attack another four rocks slam in the pokemon locking him into place. GusGus' hissing laughter is only just audible over the noise of the storm, but he watches as his opponent has to jump out of the rocks again. The Houndour shakes off the feeling of claustrophobia and pumps up the flames. With a roar a wall of heat erupts from around him, pushing outwards enveloping everything it touches with intense warmth. GusGus is hit by the blast and immediately feels like he needs a cold shower.

Scytherunner HP(-6) PP(-5) ~ HP(-2) from Sandstorm ~ Spd(-1)
Gusgus HP(-13) PP(-2)

With his knowledge of the arena at a much higher level thanks to his Arena Trap ability, GusGus knows where to find the ammunition for an attack. A quick scuffle on the surface of the earth and a handful of rocks are found. Eating them up, GusGus coughs them up hard and fast, launching them at Scytherunner. Five rocks fly out, only four of them find their target, the other one shooting off into the audience somewhere. Ouch, have some complimentary popcorn for your troubles. Scytherunner grunts at the impact of each rock, but manages to will enough dark power into a burst of energy that crosses the field and barrels into the Trapinch before he could blink. At the same time the force of the sandstorm shows a significant drop, slowing enough for the big lumps of grit to drop to the floor.

Gusgus HP(-11) PP(-3)
Sandstorm at 50% ~ Damaged reduced

GusGus bends down low, then jumps up into the air; not very high I give you that; before slamming down hard sending ripples of energy into the ground causing it to churn and rumble. Scytherunner stumbles and trips across the constantly changing and uneven floor. He finds a moment of clarity and peace in the quake to shoot out a beam of energy. The beam shapes itself mid flight into a fist that punches itself into GusGus. The earthquake comes to an abrupt stop as GusGus struggles to his feet. Suddenly his muscles twitch. Is that.. paralysis? It is, Gusgus grumbles at this unfortunate turn of events, but Scytherunner is secretly praising his own power.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Here we go.

ROUND THREE

Having taken a battering from the sandstorm, Scytherunner is in no mood for it carry on as it has done. The little black dog sits down and begins to howl at the sky. Gusgus, ignoring the semi-muted howls of pity summons fou huge rocks again, which crash into each other surrounding the fire type and pounding into him on all sides. Smiling to himself, Gusgus' expression soon fades when he realises the sandstorm is starting to fade. A bright golden glow seems out of the rock tomb, and rays of sunlight start to break through the dust cloud. It's not longer before the storm collapses in on itself, and radiant sunshine takes over.

Sandstorm has ended
Sunshine at 100%

Instantly filled with warmth and energy, Scytherunner glares down at his foe, who is seeing clearly for the first time. He's still a lot slower than he thinks he is, and the Trapinch is already starting and earthquake before the the dark pokemon can react. Tossed off his feet and thrown from side to side, this isn't the dignified return to form Scytherunner was hoping for. He waits for the quake to partially subside before letting loose with his own attack. Fuelled by the persistent sunshine and that nasty plotting earlier, a beam of pure solar energy blasts out from Scytherunner's aura and slams into the ground type. Gusgus is thrown of his feet and send crashing into the arena wall.

Scytherunner HP(-12) PP(-6)
Gusgus HP(-15) PP(-5)

Reeling from the sudden and unexpected blow, Gusgus retaliates with another earthquake. There's the wind up, and here's the mind numbingly excruciating paralysis sweeping through his body. His muscles freeze and his face is a contorted mixture of pain and anger. Scytherunner can't believe his good luck, and with a bark of joy, lets out another brilliant solar flare, sending the beam slamming hard and fast into Gusgus, leaving the Trapinch lying on his back in pain, waiting for the paralysis to fade away. When it does, Gusgus is shocked to find the pain has not gone with it. Struggling back to his feet, it dawns on him just how much of a beating he took in such a short time.

[RaZoR LeAf]

ROUND FOUR

Scytherunner takes a long sharp breath, drawing in the heat from the sun and getting ready to spew it back out. GusGus isn't happy with the weather as it is, and starts to shuffle on the ground again, whipping up a sandstorm to canopy the arena. Unfortunately for the little Ant Lion, the sun is too intense to block out completely, and the strength of the sun dissipates the incoming storm enough that it's only half as strong as it would normally be. Gusgus mumbles at the rotten development, before he is hit by an intense blast of heat.

Gusgus HP(-13) PP(-6)
Sunshine has ended
Sandstorm at 50% ~ Damage Reduced

Scytherunner grimaces as he is scratched by the sandstorm again. He vanishes into the shadows and moves invisible to the naked eye. Gusgus can't see him, but he knows he's still on the ground. A seismic thump from the Trapinch, and an earthquake starts again. The houndour wobbles and tumbles as he covers the arena ground, but still manages to reappear beside his target, where he rams his small horns into the ground type and tosses him head over heels.

Scytherunner HP(-12) PP(-2) ~ HP(-1) from Sandstorm
Gusgus HP(-6) PP(-5)

GusGus snaps angrily and sends another thump through the ground, knocking Scytherunner off balance again. The houndour's legs go in different directions and his head hits the ground. Dirt, yummy. The fire type growls and tries to get as much solar eenergy as he can form the sky. It's not going to be as strong as it would have with the blazing sun, but he manages top pull off a pretty fine beam of light that smacks into Gusgus and sends the pokemon crashing into the arena wall. Scytherunner pants as the sand scratches him. He's weak and tired now.. but Gusgus isn't getting up. A close call, but it looks like Scytherunner takes this victory.

Scytherunner HP(-12) PP(-7) ~ HP(-1) from Sandstorm
Gusgus HP(-7) PP(-5) ~ KO'd
