===Round 1===

Ahh. Here's a new environment. The brilliantly charged rocks of Chargestone Cave. Quite a unique cave, with all the ferrous materials and the electric current running though. No matter. I'm here for a battle. And there they are. MLG-our sovereign Headmaster finds it fit to take on Asujoll here. The newcomer however, is no to be taken lightly. With one sweep, he releases a Karrablast who stretches his horn and glares around.

MLG points and from a small mound of rocks pokes his dim colored Sneasel. Loki lunges free of the pile of gems it was gathering and lands in front of Karrablast, a smirk slithering onto his face. Arthur is undeterred, and tries to formulate a green sphere to contrast with all the blue going on here. Loki raises one finger on his right hand, and wags it in front of Arthur's face, while kicking him with his left foot. The surprise attack throws Arthur back-that was tricky!

LB: -2E ~~ KA: :/ -3H

Arthur catches Loki with the crux of his small but sharp horns. Loki pushes the small bug down as best he can, until he's lifted bodily by the might of Arthur! Loki flails as the bug goes to smash him into the charged ground, but Loki is too smart for that. He frees himself as he hits the ground, but does not let Arthur relinquish his grip. Rolling on his back and to his feet, Loki now has the momentum and spins around while holding Arthur's barbs!

Arthur is caught in a centrifugal spin that leaves him super vulnerable, and it only ends with him flying into one of those massive charged stones. He cries as he hits it and falls to the ground.

LB: -6E/-18H ~~ KA: -8E/-11H

Karra stands up and takes a moment to stop being dizzy. Loki meanwhile heads toward the bug, all the while sidestepping and slashing rocks with his claws. They seemed to be getting sharper, and Arthur braced himself....but nothing came. Crap.

LB: -3E +2 Atk ~~ KA: -.o

===Round 2===

With the Sneasel still standing there, Arthur decides that maybe its time to level the playing field. He squats and begins pumping his arms. Possibly a attempt to get him stronger, but Loki speeds right atop of him and slams his Claws right on Arthur's backside.

Arthur stumbles forward feeling his carapace split slightly.

LB: -7E ~~ KA: -3E/-11H +2Atk -Def

Loki keeps up the pressure by slicing at Arthur's back with a aerial strike. The hit is not without risk, one that Arthur planned for. His barbes are able to catch ahold of Loki's arm and twist him around and down into the ground. Loki gets a faceful of dirt for a minute before Arthur releases him.

LB: -4E/-20H ~~ KA: -6E/-12H

Loki tries to shake off the pain of that blow. It was a massive one to take and as he stands, he's caught by the waist as Arthur just waves to him. Loki manages to punch the Karra's head with an Icy Fist, but it was not enough for the Megahorn throw that sent him flying up into the ceiling.

Loki fell back to the ground for a second thud. Ouch all over man.

LB: -5E/-20H +2 Atk ~~ KA: -8E/-12H

===Round 3===

King Arthur and Loki lock gazes for a moment as they set up for their next moves. King tries something a little more permanent, and flings Toxic sludge at the incoming Kenzie. Well, it only appears incoming, until he splits into 5 warriors, and surround the Karrablast. One clone falls from the sheer mass of poison thrown at it, but nothing more.

LB: -3E +4 cl. ~~ KA: -3E

Loki takes the offensive, as King Arthur has trouble gauging which one could be real in this oddly tinted cave. He tucks his head low as he charges, Looki and the clones forced to dance away as those menacing horns skewer Loki, and cause him to fade out of existance? Craaaap.

LB: -3E +2 Atk ~~ KA: -8E

Loki smirks, loving the fact these clones puzzle King so. However, his lunch runs out. He delivers a nasty Ice Punch to the back of King Arthur and jumps away, but the bug will not be put down so fast. King lunges and actually makes contact with the real Loki....flinging him over his head! Loki lands amidst a rock pile....yikes.

LB: -4E/-20H ~~ KA: -8E/-16H

===Round 4===

The electricity in this cave only seems to charge these two Pokemon up! King and Loki run at each other like the bushido of old and slice at the last possible second. Thin lines appear on Loki's face, and Karra sports a wicked thick red slash across his belly. Both Pokemon stand with their backs to each other...until King wobbles over.

LB: -2E/-11H ~~ KA: -3E/-16H

Loki jumps backwards, to try and deal a final blow. He strikes gold with his punch and for a moment, Karra seems unable to battle. The little glowing bug twitches once...and then rages upwardd, sending Loki flying. Loki hits a massive electric crystal and lies there, completely defeated.

LB: -4E/-29H ~~ KA: -6E/-14H

===Round 5===

One down, Ghosts takes a moment to consider his options. He smirks, and releases a crimson spinning seed that looks ready for action. It sets itself up and glares at the Bug that is now Screeching its heart out at it. That sound was aggravating, but it allowed the seed to set up a nice Substitute seed.

Azu -7E/-10H -2 Def Sub: 10H~~ KA: -3E

King continues his Screeches, belting its lungs out. Azu stares, glad that the Screeches aren't bothering him so much. With the bug preoccupied, the metal seed sinks itself in the cave floor, near a electrified rock

Azu: -4E Ing. ~~ KA: -3E

King Arthur groans, miffed that this plant was trying to survive its wrath! He charges the subseed and bashes his horns right into it! With one flick of his head, the Sub was flung backwards, slamming into the electric rock!

Unphazed, the seed just calmed down for the battle coming!

Azu: -4E -Spd +Atk/Def Sub boom ~~ KA: -8E

If it Double Teams, use widespread Bullet Seeds to erase the clones.

Also, doesn't my ingrain grant me some life back?

[DarkestLight]

It does when I get an Ability for Azu

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Sorry, didn't specify that. Iron Barbs, it only gets Iron Barbs.

Wait, which you mean Arthur would've taken damage from his Megahorn?

[DarkestLight]

See, see! This is why I needed to know! Ed--no. He broke the Sub, Abilities don't apply to the sub the Sub, silly.

[Asujoll]

Use Faint Attack, Counter, Attract.

===Round 6===

Azu glares at the bug Pokemon that's... keeling over? It can't ahve anything left! Spinning in place, the ferrous seed releases a churned ball of steel energy. This sphere revves backwards as it makes a beeline for King. King gives it his all and dives behind an electric rock, the Gyroball following. The resulting explosion puts a few pressure cracks in the electrified stone, but nothing more.

Azu looks around, but sees no movement. That is - until small barbs come up from under his own ingrained self and slam him into the ground. King Arthur shows himself; successfully evading that blast.

Azu -6E/-9H ~~ KA: -6E/-2H

King scrambles free and leans against a wall. Hes proven his worth a thousand fold today. Azu has had enough however, and plans to end his run. The seed lunges forth, his barbs revolving at different speeds as they all connect with Arthur's carapace.

Arthur tries to push back against the pain, but the actual strike and the Barbs are too much to bear, and he collapses.

Azu: -4E ~~ KA: X_X

(4) Life is leeched from the earth!

Asu release and attack

[Asujoll]

I send out SoulSister, my female Litwick with Flash Fire.

Will-o-Wisp, Confuse Ray, Flame Burst

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Double Team as soon as you see the attack forming. Then Thunderwave! Finish with Payback if you have no more clones, if you do, use Leech Seed.

===Round 7===

Aki stares as Soulsister is released. Great, a fire type-the LAST thing he wants to see. Soul wobbles in place before hopping over and swinging her waxy drips everywhere. The flames land on a half burrowed Ferroseed, and vanishes on contact. Soul looks on with disgust as she notes the other 3 seeds lying along the rocky terrain.

Azu -3E 2 cl. ~~ SS: -3E

Not one to give in so easily, Soulsister tries for a more flashy attack. The bevy of lights that emit from her flame hit the rocks and create a blinding flash. Aki spinwinces and releases a Thunderwave in the air. The rippling electric pulse strikes Soulsister, rendering her paralyzed.

Azu: -3E ~~ SS: -3E par

With the clone still active, and that Confuse ray not really doing much more than aggravating these electric rocks, Aki fires off a bevy of seeds Soulsister grunts at this, and blasts that nearby seed with a fireball. The Fireball explodes upon crashing into the ground, and the fallout hits the real Aki! (-1)

Aki -6E/-9H ~~ SS: -5E LS

Are there different levels of Leech Seed in your reffings DL? Curious.

Ok, good job there Aki. Next, use a Hidden Power, and Payback twice!

[DarkestLight]

Yeah, that's a new thing. Got it from Razor. You can stack it twice.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Awesome.

[Asujoll]

First, use Protect; it's risky, but we at least know what type HP is. Then Taunt him so he can't try any more leech seeding next turn. Finally, we'll try Flame Charge and see if we can't burn these seeds off of you.

===Round 8===

As the gemstones in here glisten with pure electricity, Soulsister erects a flickering barrier that holds up agaisnt all the excess sparks, and to the strange red blasts coming from Azi. What? Fire? AWWW! (-1)

Azi -5E HP: Fir. ~~ SS: -6E

Ticked off, Soul gets ready to say something about Azi being a Indian Giver, but her mouth locks up. Azi notes the unmoving candle, and fires off a blast that should have been more powerful, but its still did the job well enough. (-1)

Azi: -5E ~~ SS: -10H par

Free once more, Soulsister immediately goes to work on eliminating her health from being ripped away anymore. In fact, she kills off two birds with one stone, as flames envelop her body and scorch those seeds away. Azi is a sitting ingrained land mine of a duck as the candle crashes into him.

With the candle so close, Azi takes advantage and fuires that same blast. This one flings the candle back hard. Yeowch!

Aki -5E/-16H ~~ SS: -4E/-15H +Spd

===Round 9===

Azi knew that at this point, sitting still meant a hell of a match. SO he tried to make the best of it. His little gearseed body spun hectically, before charging up enough excess energy from the rocks behind him to fire off a Thunderbolt. The Bolt hit Soulsister, who seemed to be contemplating actions all her own before being struck. Almost without warning, she began warning with some weird ghost tone at Aki.

...I don't know what a "Metagross's buttplug" is, but she just called it that.

Aki -8E Tnt 6 act. ~~ SS: -3E/-10H

Soul didn't quit there. She hopped forward and began laying down the firefight. Literally. Aki was in complete disapproval, and he challenged her with a Thunderbolt once again. Both parties are giving it their all!

Aki: -8E/-22H ~~ SS: -7E/-10H

Aki, saddened by the loss of its Leech Seed, tries to recoup the losses as the Second Flamethrower strikes. It singes, but the seed throws a dark sphere of energy immediately at Soulsister. The force of this blow blasts Soul back again, leaving her speechless. Why so powerful!

Aki -5E/-22H ~~ SS: -4E/-15H

===Round 10===

The candle drooped over quietly, brooding some significantly evil idea in her mind. Aki whirled, its vines unraveling a tad as it began to charge up another assault. Spying this attack again, Soulsister finally put a stop to it, belting out a hex of sorts that lathered over the plantseed.

When confronted by the ever edgy candle, Aki found itself unable to act! No....bueno..

Aki >O! *Imp* ~~ SS: -5E Got you biotch!

Aki quit trying for immediate revenge, settling on a crackling bolt of doom. The bolt slapped across Soul's body, but the candle held it together. She retaliated with a hastily built wave of fire, that surged along an electric series of granules and ignited the plant seed into near oblivion.

Not only that, those ingrained Roots were burned pretty bad, prolly ruining their effectiveness.

Aki: -8E/-36H (Brn-cancels Ing) ~~ SS: -9E/-10H

Aki really felt the burn, as he coiled up the remnants of the ingrain roots. But he was no longer able to fight, as he rolled over to his Trainer.

Asujoll wins the match!

Good job Asu, it's been a while since someone defeated me, got a pretty bad type matchup sure, but you did a splendid job. Good call on Imprison and then ending it with a deadly inferno. Nice visuals there.

As usual splendid reffing there Mr. Darkly-sama.

[Asujoll]

Beginners luck, I'm sure. T'was a fine match, one that won't soon be forgotten.
