Dragonspiral Tower Showdown! (Ref: RaZoR LeAf)

[Cynder]

I need to be more active here... And I need more battles for more pokemon too. Soo, yeah!

Arena: Dragonspiral tower summit, before it got damaged by Team Plazma. Both Reshiram and Zekrom are still alive and not trapped in stones, and are teaming up with the challenger and I temporarily to make a double battle, but once the dragons are defeated the battle reverts to a single so that each team is still evenly matched. Reshiram and Zekrom both have 200 HP and 200 energy, but can only attack each other so that each pokemon isn't like insantly killed. I team up with Reshiram, and the challenger with Zekrom.

1 vs 1 (+ Reshiram and Zekrom, nobody is allowed to send out a pokemon with the same typing as their dragon. So no dragon or fire types for me, and no electric or dragon types for the challenger.)
Banned moves: OHKO moves (including perish song, destiny bond, etc.)
DQ Time: 2 Days



Both the challenger and I PM the Ref with the pokemon we pick.
Ref announces the pokemon being used.
Challenger attacks.
I attack.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Intruiging, I'll ref

[crown34]

Sure... I'm in I guess.

[Cynder]

Now to PM my pokemon choice to the ref...

[RaZoR LeAf]

OK the pokemon being used are:

Crown34 - Knight; Escavalier (m) Shell Armour
Cynder - Surei; Escavalier (m) Shell Armour

Crown34 attacks first, Cynder attacks second.

[crown34]

Wow we picked the same pokemon... anyhow Aerial Ace twice and Poison jab with Knight and the Zekrom uses Dragonbreath, Dragon Tail and then Toxic.

[Cynder]

Yes, what a coincidence...

Right, Surei start off with a sunny day. Reshiram could use the powerup, plus it will stop Zekrom's thunder hittting if he later on decides to use it. Then use incinerate, which by now will be powered up by sunny day and finally counter the poison jab with toxic while Knight is in close range.

Reshiram, start off with psychic to blast that dragon's foul breath right back at it, then follow up with hyper voice to throw off his aim when he uses dragon tail. Finish with safeguard, we don't need poisoning at this stage of the battle.

Surei: Sunny day ~ Incinerate ~ Toxic
Reshiram: Psychic ~ Hyper Voice ~ Safeguard

[RaZoR LeAf]

For the sake of this battle, I have doubled the damage done by Zekrom and Reshiram, as they effectively have double the HP and energy of normal pokemon. Otherwise they will be the last ones standing.

Atop Dragon Spiral Tower, two trainers meet. Could it be that the are the Heroes spoke of in the myths and legends of the Unova region? Beside each of them stands a Tao pokemon, one white with a tail that churns out heat and fire, the other black with a tail that rattles out bolts of lightning. The two trainers step out of the shadows. They are Cynder and Crown34, two pokemon trainers who are here to prove if they can take on the role of the hero. Only one can succeed. They both send out their pokemon, Crown34 chooses Knight, an Escavalier whilst Cynder sends out Surei, an alternately coloured Escavalier. Both opponents appear evenly matched as the battle begins.

ROUND ONE

Surei is quick off the mark, moving quicker than his opponent. He mutters a few words with an odd growl, and suddenly beams of sunlight are cast through the hollow windows, filling the room with a warm summer haze, and raising the temperature a great deal. Zekrom doesn't seem pleased with the change and lets loose a powerful blast of it's storm charged breath. Reshiram, bathing in the summer's glow opens it's mind and focuses on the incoming attack. It tries desperately to push the attack back, but for a pokemon that is not inherantly psychic, controlling a gaseous body is night on impossible, and it takes the attack at full strength. Knight darts forward and delivers a swift slash across Surei's body before dodging back to see his opponent struggle. Instead Surei's image falters, and the appearance of an Escavalier vanishes, leaving a sniggering Zoroa called Yami in it's place, it's illusion having tricked both Knight and his trainer Crown34.

This sudden change in appearance leaves Knight shell shocked, and open to attack. A burst of flame, boosted by the weather hits him in the face and leaves him even more hot and bothered than he was before. He growls, and rushes forward, striking quick and precise, driving his lance into Zoroa's side, leaving the small fox with a painful wound. Oblivious to the small pokemon fighting beneath them, Zekrom and Reshiram continue their epic struggle. Zekrom notices a few embers creeping on his foot but grunts and ignores them as they hardly even register. It jumps and spins, aiming it's hefty engine-like tail at Reshiram, but the white dragon hits a high note with a screech that rattles everyone's brain, including the two little pokemon beneath him. Zekrom falters in mid air, but a huge tail and a huge target aren't likely to miss entirely, and whilst only hit partially, Reshiram is thrown backwards by the force of the blow.

Zekrom HP(-2) PP(-8) ~ HP(-20) from Hyper Voice

Yami HP(-5) PP(-1) ~ HP(-10) from Hyper Voice
Reshiram HP(-10) PP(-10)

With their ears still ringing, Knight and especially Yami look at Rshiram with disdain. Never-the-less, Knight shifts left and right, and jabs Yami with the tip of his lance, having already spat a sticky poisonous substance onto the weapon. The poison sinks into Yami, but he is lucky to avoid any further infection, this time. In retaliation, he spits a darker, thicker liquid over the armoured pokemon, but Knight simply laughs it off, as it slides harmlessly over his steel defences. At the same time Zekrom spits the same toxic fluid at his foe, but it too turns into soap bubbles that pop and vanish, as it strikes a hastily created safeguard, shielding Reshiram from further affliction.

God I hope my maths is right..

[Cynder]

Okay, psychic last turn was a stupid idea ^^;

Reshiram, I'm gonna simplify this round. Start off with double team, and follow up with outrage.

Yami, now that your cover is blown you can start off with Nasty Plot x2. Then finish off with incinerate to burn that bug. If he uses Taunt or Torment just use Foul Play or Faint Attack.

Reshiram: Double Team ~ Outrage ~ Outrage
Yami: Nasty Plot / Foul Play ~ Nasty Plot / Faint Attack ~ Incinerate

[crown34]

Knight use Focus Blast and X Scissor and end with a rain dance to stop the sunlight
Zekrom, use Thunder and and then use a Dragon claw and end with a stone Edge.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Tres sorry for long delay..

ROUND ONE

Yami ducks his head and looks around quickly. He forms plots and plans in his head, boosting his self-esteem and special attack at the same time. His concentrating is broken when a massive pulse of energy flattens him. The small dark type rolls with the blow but struggles to get back on his feet. He glares at Knight, who simply swings back and forth with a wicked grin on his face. Above them, the massive form of Reshiram crackles and splits in three, but a duo of dragons watch as a massive bolt of electricity from Zekrom frazzles one of the clones, destroying it completely.

The two dragons face each other, and their attack suddenly cause untold damage to the top of the tower. Reshiram roars and throws it's entire body into an attack, crashing into Zekrom, as well as the sides of the tower. The two pokemon below have to dodge between the feet of the giants to avoid getting crushed, the result of which distracts them both from their planned attacks. Zekrom retaliates with a powerful slash, cutting across the body of the true white dragon, delivering a sharp and deadly cut across Yang that simply provides the outraged pokemon with yet more fuel.

Continuing it's outrageous flailing, Reshiram throws itself into pillars and walls, breaking chunks of the ancient tower from it's foundation, opening up the inner sanctum to the outside world and bathing the pokemon in the heat of the sun a little more. It batters it's body against Zekrom, who in retaliation, kicks some of the debris hard at it's foe, sending the fire type tumbling down, where it finally comes to a halt and starts to ramble aimlessly in it's confusion. Beneath them, a burst of flame strikes Knight, just as the armoured bug summons a massive rain cloud. The sun is immediately blocked, the temperature plummets, and droplets of rainwater start to spill into the tower through the numerous holes.

ROUND THREE

Knight spins his lance, using the repetitive motion to pump adrenaline through his body and increase his attack two fold. Yami on the other hand lets out a howl to cast away the rain and bring back the sun. Unfortunately, as the Rainfall has only just started, and is at full srength, all it manages to do is banish the rain, leaving the weather calm and balmy. The change in weather has no effect on the dragons, as they are paying no attention to anything outside of their own battle.Reshiram breaths and focuses its mind, ridding itself on the confusion and boosting it's special abilities at the same time. It's not enough to stop a massive blast of thunder from Zekrom, hitting it firmly in the chest. The blast leaves a static charge, but thankfully it bounces harmlessly off the safegaurd.

Calm Weather

Knight chitters rapidly and the powerful vibration turns into an audible noise. The noise and vibration rubs painfully against Yami's fur, but the little fox retaliates with a short sharp cough, sending a ball of fire into the bug's face. The vibrations come to an abrupt end, as Knight concentrates on putting out the fire. Zekrom and Reshiram face each other, neither really aware of the chittering vibrations that tickle their legs. Zekrom charges its turbine, and surrounds its dark body with electricity, before ramming into Reshiram. Likewise, the light bodied dragon bites dark hard on its opponent, breaking through armour and leaving a tinge of darkness in the wound. The two slam into a wall, sending more chunks of rock to the floor, forcing the smaller pokemon to dodge around them.

Focusing, Knight crosses it's twin blades and hurtles forward, bringing both weapons down in a sharp crossing slash over Yami's body. The Zoroa yelps, but as the blades fall, he leaps through the gap and pounces landing hard and firm, square in the bug pokemon's chest and face, before leaping over the top and landing gracefully. Knight wobbles as he spins back around to glare at the sneaky dark type. With more than enough fallen rock to give it ammunition, Zekropm wastes no time in lifting a few sharpened chunks of building and throwing them at Reshiram, a few hit the real Reshiram, but the others pass harmlessly through the clone, destroying it in the process. At the same time, the sharp rocks manage to hit the dragon in just the right places, resulting in the damage being higher (Critical Hit). Reshiram retaliates by blasting Zekrom with a pulse of ancient and draconic energy.

Well this is well over the 2 day DQ, and there have been no posts from crown34. I'm inclined to call the battle but I'll allow until Sunday night for the sake of it.

[crown34]

Sorry bout that I forgot, Anyhow Knight use X-Scissor 3 times
Zekrom, use Draco Meteor to counter then rest and finally Protect.

[RaZoR LeAf]

ROUND FOUR

Yami and Knight both dart forward deter mined to deal as much damage as possible in this round. Knight lets loose another X crossed attack, slicing his sharpened blades across Yami, whilst the dark pokemon uses his foes own strength against him with a nefarious attack that may as well be considered foul play if it weren't an officially recognised strategy. The two pokemon back away, both clearly bruised form the twin attacks. The mighty dragons are battling just as hard. Zekrom lets out a powerful roar, and the skies seem to darken. Rocks begin to fall from the heavens, burning with blue and black flames. One crashes through the tower and slams into Reshiram causing the white dragon to howl in pain. Reshiram grits it's teeth and focuses its will on the enemy before it. A second meteor breaks through the tower and hits Reshiram on the back, forcing the two smaller pokemon to take refuge beneath Zekrom. The other meteors suddenly fizzle out and drop straight out of the sky, vanishing before they hit the ground.

Moving out of Zekrom's shadow, the two little pokemon commence battle once more. Knight continues to use X-Scissor, leaving great scars across Yami's body, whilst Yami retaliates with another incinerating flame, that cascades over Knights body, hitting him right where it hurts, (Critical Hit!) thanks to both Turbo Blaze and Terra Volt nullifying Knight's protective Shell Armour. Reshiram now takes revenge for Zekrom's previous attack, and summons a second rain of meteors. This time, they fall with a red and white flame, and they son begin to crash through the tower. Zekrom seems to ignore the attacks though, and settles down for a quick nap(!?) As it is battered by one meteor after another, it begins to restore its health, albeit slowly rather than in one swift instance.

Zekrom HP(-38) PP(-15) ~ Resting HP(+30)

Yami HP(-12) PP(-1)
Reshiram HP(-0) PP(-20)

Tired of hiding from big scary attacks each turn, the two little pokemon continue their battle, just beneath Reshiram. Yami resorts to Foul Play again, and Knight once more uses X-Scissor. The only difference this time, is the attack is simply too much for Yami to take. Whilst reeling from the Foul Play, Knight watches the Zoroa collapse under the strain of the attacks, and finally winks out of consciousness, resulting in Knight becoming the winner of the little league match. Above them, the dragons epic battle is also nearing a close. Whilst snoozing away, Zekrom is still slowly restoring health, but cannot hope to follow any commands its trainer gives whilst asleep. Sitting open for attack, it is blasted head first with a pulse of draconic energy, courtesy of Reshiram.

No, Knight is out of the battle now, it's just between the two dragons.

[crown34]

Okay then, Zekrom wake up as soon as you can, when you do let out a Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw and finish with a Zen Headbutt.

[Cynder]

Muahaha, he's a sitting duck right now! Bombard him with Draco Meteor until he wakes up, and then use Dragon Pulse to hopefully finish him off.

ROUND FIVE

A sleeping Zekrom is deep in rest, healing its loss of energy, but completely unable to wake from the deep sleep. Whilst doing so, it cannot hear is trainers attack commands, but cannot defend against anything Reshiram throws at it. Such as a massive bombing of meteors, falling form the sky with intense fury, burning with a white and red flame. The meteors crash through the tower, destroying the side of the tower and slamming into the sleeping black dragon. Still asleep, Zekrom's healing barely scratches the surface of the damage caused by the attack.

Zekrom HP(-36) PP(-0) ~ HP(+20)
Reshiram HP(-0) PP(-20)

Again, Rshiram roars, and a second wave of meteors fall from the sky. Zekrom is nearing waking up, but its energy levels are beginning to falter under the onslaught. Two massive chunks of rock batter it, followed by a rain of smaller stones. For Reshiram however, it is nearly exhausted, and has just enough energy left to stay standing.

Zekrom HP(-36) PP(-0) ~ HP(+16)
Reshiram HP(-0) PP(-20)

Reshiram just manages to summon a third rain of meteors, but falls foul of exhaustion before a full compliment can be called upon. A few larger rocks hit Zekrom, but the black Dragon finally wakes up before the attack is completed, and even manages to dodge a few. Zekrom is too jaded form the sleep to perm and cannot attack this turn, but watches in amusement as its foe takes slow and cautious steps to preserve its minute energy and health levels.

Just keep shooting Dragon Breaths at Reshriam.

[RaZoR LeAf]

ROUND SIX

Reshiram barely has the energy to move, let alone the energy to attack. It stumbles as it moves, but not even the mighty white Dragon can defend against the ancient fiery breath of Zekrom, who's attack engulfs the exhausted pokemon and knocks it out once and for all. Ancient mystics appear and start to rebuild the Dragonspiral Tower, as Reshiram curls up and transforms itself into a White Stone.
