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

[Blademaster]

Er... What did Bug Bite do that seemingly gave my Trapinch magical powers? o.O

[DarkestLight]

From the Movelist

Bug Bite – BUG – An insectoid chomp on the foe. The following can also happen:
If the foe has recently healed themselves – the user recovers 5% health
If the foe has recently recovered from a status condition – the user is immune to that condition for 3 rounds
If the foe has recently used a stat boost – the user has that stat boost for two rounds.
The use of ‘recent’ suggests in the past one or two rounds.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical. See above

What does Rest do?

[Blademaster]

I never knew Bug Bite could do that... Jawesome.

[Master of Paradox]

Sigh... I remember when I used to be good at this.

Focus, focus, Sleep Talk.

===Round 11===

The kitty stays asleep, quietly curled over there one the roof. eh roof that once again is encased in a nasty Sandstorm. That wily little Trapinch, getting his energy's worth of damage (-1)

P: zzz ===///=== C: -4E
SS: 3 rds

The cat may have regained enough power to attack, but he keeps sleeping, letting that energy build so he doesn't run out too fast. Chomplet takes this time to do a very unorthodox attack. He jumps on the roof and forces the building to withstand an Earthquake! This Quake opens up a new fissure, and both Pokemon fall to the floor below.

On this floor, the windows flash with the colors of the signs outside, and the Sandstrom doesn't hit Pudge

P: +6E/-11H ===///=== C: -8E

Well that's just well. Chomplet snaps his jaws together once in irritation, but decides to make the best of it. The Sand that falls in from up top is gfathered and flung without discretion, right at Pudge...or at least, where Pudge was! Chomplet looks around, where'd that cat go?

He'd find out the hard way as a mass of fur strikes him to the right, barreling into a bunch of boxes. Pudge then curled right back asleep.

If he survives that, use one more Bug Bite.

Pudge remains asleep for a little longer. Peace comes with a price, and that is someone not liking your peace. The antlion barrels over to the cat and slams into him jaws first. The force of the hit was strong enough to roll the cat over and pronounce it KO'ed.

[Master of Paradox]

So how should I close out this battle? My Starmie's down, my Persian's down...

Since I don't think I can win, I might as well have fun and give her another chance. I choose Cici, my Shuckle.

Bide for two turns, then let him have it on the third.

[Blademaster]

Since our energy is low, Relax for the first two rounds. Then use Hidden Power; see what that does.

===Round 13===

Chomplet stands merrily as a new competitor is rolled into the building. The lights shine blue on this Shuckle, giving her a purplish glint in her eye. Chomplet stays back for now, undure what that bug was capable of.

Ci: -3E ===///=== Ch: +6E

Lights change to yellow, giving her a orange color.

Ci: -3E ===///=== Ch: +6E

Chomplet had enough of the Shuckle changing colors, and decided to fire. Conjuing up orbs was easy buisness, and this seemed to randomly decided on being a Poison Type set of strikes. Cici took the little bit of energy from that last hit and redirected it back in a shell bash that kinda sotra hurt, but not really.

Cici watches carefully as Chomplet relaxes. The antlion sits down, even as a series of orbs circle around the Shuckle. They fly up and splash down on the Trapinch, tossing him aside. Light blue.

Ci: -5E HP: Fly===///=== Ch: +6E/-6H

Chomplet keeps still, even though that last hit stung. Cici however, decides this is not fast enough and extends her wriggly appendages from her shell. Chomp is completely wrapped up for a while.

Ci: -3E ===///=== Ch: +6E/-4H

Cici then Constricts, adding a hefty amount of pressure to her already tight wrap. Chomp groans, not really able to relax when he's being squeezed to within an inch of his life.

Chomp tries to open his mouth for a bite, but its shut as fast as its opened, thanks to that Constrictive force. This isn't going to be an open and shut case for the ant.

Still no biting...but Chomp is not out of the fight yet. Even though the Constrction is inhibiting Chomp from biting, he did manage to get his feet on solid ground.

===Round 16===

Cici knew this was a critical situation, and as such, she loosens her vines just enough so when Chomp let whipped his head back and forth-the vines would not be ripped from her shell. The backwards jerking action still stung the Shuckle, as Chomp took in deep breaths. One of those breaths however, was littered with an acidic spray that made Chomp gag.

Ci: -4E/-5H ===///=== Ch: -3E

Chomp looked around, suddenly unfamiliar with the land as it was. Cci smirked and just bided her time, as the evil little antlion went for a vanishing act, digging underground. His reapparance was to be expected, but the unpredictable was the when.

No matter, as Chomp came up, Cici's shell seemed to swing back with a pendulum force. Chomp flew back and rolled over its own jaws, stunned.

Ci: -6E/-8H ===///=== Ch: -6E/-10H

Chomp shook off the hit, getting himself geared up for some biting fun. Cici was swift this time, reeling in her bagwormy self into that shell. Chomp poked at the rock in its entirety, before opening his mouth wide and Crunching on the rockshell! The damage done was minimalized a bit, but Cici felt her home give just a little.

===Round 17===

Chomp released the bagworm shell, and Cici shot her vines out immediately. They once again wrapped around Chomp, but this time they coiled around his body. Chomp groaned, this thing was pretty good at bear hugs.

Ci: -3E ===///=== Ch: -5H

Constriction! Chomp felt dizzy, but he kept his focus on one vine. Just one particular vine.

Ci: -3E ===///=== Ch: -4H

Cici kept wrapping, her head focused so intently on the Trapinch's small body, that she didn't pay attention to his jaws glowing. Until of course, when Chomp darted inward and opened his mouth right over the hole where the vine coiled around his chest was exiting from.

Cici creamed as the vines were forcefully blasted with a Hyper Beam. This concussive force sent Cici flying up through the crack in the roof, in the glare of hundreds of flashing lights. Chomp backed away, exhausted, but determined.

Cici however, fell right back into the crack, to join Chomp, and she looked angered. That Beam was pretty flashy, but not as powerful as he prolly wanted it to be.

Still gasping in short harsh intervals, Chomplet was an easy target for the bagworm and its shell like slam. Chomplets jaws bounced on the ground twice and left him upside down.

RAWR! This little one wont give! He rolled over as those vines came to wrap his body up like a mummy once more. Chomplet jumped back from the first attempt and smashed his head against the ground 2,3,4 times!

Cici didn't exactly know what to expect, but she did her a rumbling as she grabbed Chomplet. The vines began their death squeeze, easily suffocating the Trapinch to unconsciousness...but with his falling came a fall of debris from the roof. Cici freaked, as she was buried under it.

===Round 19===

With his Chomplet gone, Blade looks to his second Pokemon and flings out a Pokeball that's seen better days on Bob Ross show. Out plops a Smeargle, and Cici takes full advantage. She rolls her shell into Il's gut forcing him to focus on pain rather than painting.

He winces from the strike, but manages to continue painting in the air. He manages to fit a glove on his hand, in the shape of a Lobster claw.

Ci: -4E ===///=== Il: -2E/-8H -Def Lobster Claw

Emboldened with her latest strike, Cici now went back to her standard methods of domination. Tentacles slithered and coiled around Il's midsection. Instead of being inhibited like Chomplet before, Il kept his Lobster claw raised. As the Wrap began to squeeze, he snap the hinged weapon shut on those tentacles. Cici freaked and released him immediately

Ci: -3E/-7H ===///=== Il: -5E/-6H

Tentacles still caught in his grip, Il pulled his arm backwards. Cic was yanked forward and she braced herself, as Il played paddleball with his lobster fist as the racket. Cici was hammered a good 4 to 5 times before she was released. Rolling on the ground, the bagworm took a moment to regain her composure. Tentacles shot back out for a hasty constrict, but she was super wary of this painter now.

Cici didn't like this new creative mastermind one bit. But Il was loving it and with wand in hand he began to draw a nozzle...connected to-ACK! No, she put a stop to that, wrapping her vines around his arm and pulling on him so his drawing laid to rest, unfinished. Ticked, Il used that claw and engaged another Vice Grip on her vines.

Ci: -3E/-7H ===///=== Il: -5E/-6H

Cici did not let go of that drawing hand, and that left Il with no other choice, but to Clamp on Cici's vines to free his hand, but he had to be careful to not crush his own hand. This Clamp though, was shattered by Cici actually jumping up and reeling herself into that shell, bashing it against Il's chest.

Ci: -6E/-4H ===///=== Il: -4E/-10H

Cici had the advantage for the moment and tightened her vines against that hand, starting to sprain it. Il growled, and shoved his Crab hand forth, smashing Cici into the ground. Cici wriggled, but I'l just treated her like a cashew, hammering it until she broke off.

Not willing to give in to some fake painter with a penchant for painting things to life, Cici continued constricting Il's good arm. Grabbing that Lobster apparetus once more with his weaker arm, Il slammed and beat and snapped at those viney appendages-and to the port they were snaking free from. It took a while before Cici finally withdrew

Ci: -3E/-7H ===///=== Il: -5E/-6H

Cici wasn't done yet. She pushed herself toward Il, and reached for his tail, of all things! Il was very miffed about that, you don't grab a painters most prized possession! He swung at the incoming bagworm, and cracked his Lobster claw against her. With the power of both moves colliding, Il was the one to fall back as his Lobster Claw shattered from the impact! He sat there, stunned as Cici rolled to a stop.
