[RaZoR LeAf]

Edit: Darn it, I just realized I'm over the DQ time...just when I thought we were waiting for RaZoR LeAf to post...can I be spared from being DQed, just this once, please? I don't like having my battles end in a DQ, regardless of who wins in the end.

No, and as punishment you must give me all your points and the life of your first born.

Honestly, I hadn't noticed. Reffing up soon.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

no worries dude just remember to post from now on

EDIT: I'm nominating that as quote of the year as well RL

[Knight of Time]

Thanks, both of you.

I usually am lenient with the DQ time, but I have a tendency to sometimes overlook things, like when I thought RaZoR LeAf still hadn't reffed the last round...it just goes to show that even veteran ASBers make mistakes here at times.

Round Nine

Boosted by ancient dragon dad dancing, Celeste charges both her fists with pure cryo-energy. A blue-white glow shines around them and she runs at Seze, malice and purpose glinting in her eyes. Seze barely has time to react before Celeste delivers not one, but two powerful head punches, slamming ice cold fists into the dragon's face. The sheer force of the attack, combined with Seze' terrible double weakness to ice results in the dragon instantly keeling over, unable to battle. Without even getting a chance to retaliate, Seze is recalled from battle and Celeste takes a deep breath as she waits for her final opponent. At the same time, the feeling of being forced downwards fades away, and the increased gravity ends.

Celeste HP -0, PP -14 ;
Seze HP -26, PP -0 ; KO'd
Gravity no longer in effect

Alright I'll be using my Gallade (M/@Justified/Lloyd Irving) you have the sprite boy-o so I won't be givin' it

[DarkestLight]

Yeah let's see this Lloyd Irving :/ If it looks hot, I'm getting my Gallade a make over befitting this shenanigans.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Dude if you make yours like Kratos, Regal, or Zelos I will pay you 50 of my points at the next tree, assuming there is another one soon

[RaZoR LeAf]

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, this is one interesting Gallade...even if he prevails over Celeste, he's still going to go down. I've used my own Gallade twice in this ASB, so I know that they can be a really tough opponent when in good hands.

Celeste, we need to watch out here, hitting Lloyd Irving with a supereffective move anytime you're attacking first is a bit too risky here, so instead, we'll try to keep him at bay with a barrage of Ice Beams...but as always, be ready to use Snatch or Magic Coat if you find an opening to use either of these two moves.

[DarkestLight]

....That is a sexy ass Gallade. :/

..I got you Em. I got you.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Alright start off with a leaf blade followed by close combat and finally rain dance

[RaZoR LeAf]

Round Ten

Emerald calls out his final pokemon, a Gallade in red, black and brown by the name of Lloyd Irving. Modelled after the legendary symphonic swordman, will this Gallade succeed where Seze and Flamberge have failed? Celeste hopes not, and unleashes a powerful burst of ice energy in concentrated beam form, that slams into Lloyd's chest. Unperturbed, Lloyd rushes at Celeste; his right arm glowing with a green solar energy; and runs it across her body in a downwards slice. The bladed attack seems to do more damage than Celeste expected, and she cries out in pain form the critical blow.

Celeste HP -15, PP -8 ;
Lloyd HP -10, PP -8 ; Critical hit!

Celeste grimaces, half hoping her opponent makes a mistake of sending a boost her way she can use. It doesn't look like it's happening, so she unfurls another beam of crygenic energy at the Gallade that's moving towards her. Lloyd catches the blast on one blade and uses it as a shield to continue running without loosing momentum. For a moment Celeste panics at this relentless onslaught, then is overcome with pain. Lloyd gets in close, ducking and weaving beneath limbs and body mass, delivering punches and kicks to vital areas, leaving no spot untouched with combat that's rarely seen outside of an action film. Despite leaving himself open to attack, he inflicts a great deal of damage on his fairy opponent.

Celeste HP -20, PP -8 ;
Lloyd HP -10, PP -10 ; Dfc-1, SDfc-1

Recoiling from the attack, Celeste continues with her frosty barrage, attacking a slightly defence impaired Lloyd with yet another ray of arctic power. This time Lloyd feels the chill a little more, but instead of fighting back, he opens his arms to the sky and summons black clouds and a cold wind. The arena grows dark and spots of water start to land. Quickly, the arena is under a deluge of water, and not only do umbrellas pop up amongst the audience but flood lights turn out to light the battle zone. What does Emerald have planned?

Lloyd HP -11, PP -6 ;

[Emerald_Gen.3]

And now it's time for my plan to hatch first start with a toxic then thunderbolt followed by charge beam

If she uses magic coat then use facade twice if protect is used on the 2nd and 3rd turns only then use calm mind

[Knight of Time]

Celeste, you have a speed advantage here, so let's use it! Use Safeguard first so that hopefully you won't get poisoned or even paralyzed from the Thunderbolt, then hit him with a nice pair of Shadow Balls.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Why do I have no logic, I knew it in my gut that you would use that!

[RaZoR LeAf]

Round Eleven

Still retaining the speed of an ancient dragon, Celeste summons a protective aura that surrounds her body and shields her from negative afflictions. Just in time too, as Lloyd throws a glob of sticky, toxic poison at the Clefable. The attack hits the Safeguard, which flares up to deflect it back into the ground. Although Celeste's 'Magic Guard' would have protected her from the damage anyway, it's better safe than sorry.

Celeste HP -0, PP -6 ; Safeguard
Lloyd HP -0, PP -5 ;

Lloyd grumbles, but starts to spark with electricity. Celeste gathers up shadows being cast form the dark clouds and throws them all towards Lloyd, the psychic type engulfed by the chill and subtle terror the attack leaves behind. But as a proud fighting type too, Lloyd fights back to fear and launches a powerful thunder bolt, that courses through the falling rain in seconds, slamming into Celeste's body.

Celeste HP -10, PP -5 ;
Lloyd HP -13, PP -8 ;

Again, Celeste gathers up shadows from nearby, moulding them into a sphere of loathing and distress. She tosses the mass at Lloyd just as he springs his own attack, a concentrated beam of highly charged ions. The shadow ball explodes on contact, but as the beam hits Celeste, a little of it feeds back through the rain to give Lloyd a much needed boost.

[Knight of Time]

Alright Celeste, let's see if we can do some more damage to Lloyd before he brings you down...this time, let's use Thunderbolt as many times as we can this round.

As usual, be ready to use Snatch or Magic Coat if you find yourself in a situation where one of those two moves would help you.

Celeste, even if you go down this round, you've put up a great fight, and I promise your successor will end this battle as quickly as possible.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Alright lets use Close Combat three times

[RaZoR LeAf]

Round Twelve

Celeste uses her speed once again to bolster her attack, charging a ball of electrical energy in her fist, she tosses it through the rain where it jumps from droplet to droplet before exploding over Lloyd. The Gallade isn't at all fazed, and he rushes towards his highly fatigued opponent, diving in close to deliver a swift flurry of punches and kicks to all the vital areas, blow after blow striking all the squidgy soft spots. He ducks back away to admire the damage he has done.

Celeste HP -18, PP -8 ;
Lloyd HP -11, PP -10 ; Dfc-1, SDfc-1

After leaving himself open to attack, Celeste continues her onsliaght with another bolt of thunderous electricity. This last attack is enough to pull all her energy out from under her, and she falls to the ground panting from exhaustion. Lloyd takes full advantage jabbing those vital spots again and finishing with a powerful uppercut the knocks Celeste out. The Clefable falls to the ground defeated, and Emerald finally gets a notch on his scoreboard. But is it going to be enough?

Alright, my final Pokémon will be my (currently nameless) male Slowpoke, whose ability is Regenerator.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Alright combo time...

Pain Split+Leaf Blade+Night Slash

Subs: If protect is used at all then use Feint for the first action and continue the combo from there.

Pain Split/Feint+Leaf Blade/Pain Split+Night Slash/Leaf Blade

[Knight of Time]

Slowpoke, while Lloyd is using Pain Split first, use Amnesia as he is forming the conduit to make him forget Pain Split before it can connect with you, then let him have it with a double Shadow Ball combo to try and knock him out!

[RaZoR LeAf]

Round Thirteen

Knight of Time sends out his final pokemon, a currently nameless Slowpoke, who will from this point go by the name 'Currently'. Because it's kinda funny. Lloyd intends to use all his attacks in one go. His left blade begins to glow with a green aura, whilst his right blade takes on a darker, shadowy hue. Between both blades, he begins to weave a rope of energy, which he throws out to latch around Currently. The little slowpoke begins sending waves of amnesic psychosis at the Gallade, but they are dampened by the sudden dual attack of both grass and ghost energy. Still, Lloyd backs away from the attack, his head aching. He's not quite sure what's going on, and is having a little trouble focusing on whether or not to attack or keep draining energy. As the energy conduit was his biggest concern, he stops concentrating on it, and lets it fall away, but it has fortunately done enough damage already.

Currently HP -27, PP -5 ; [PS]-20
Lloyd HP -0, PP -21 ; [PS]+20 ; Pain Split

Having taken a considerable blow previously, Currently has a chance to pull victory back to his side. He charges not one, but two balls of darkness and terror, and bats them both across to Lloyd. The first one lands straight in Lloyd's face, where it startles him so much that it strips away a layer of his defensive capabilities. The second lands seconds later, devouring his energy and dropping him into a metaphoric pit of loneliness and darkness. At the same time, the rain that has been falling finally comes to an end.

Currently HP -0, PP -10 ;
Lloyd HP -31, PP -0 ; SDfc-1

[Knight of Time]

Okay, before I post my Slowpoke's moves, I've decided on his name. From this day forward, his name will be...Socrates!

Alright Socrates, Lloyd may have slowed your victory plans a bit, but this is the end of the road for him. One way or another, we have to ensure he falls in this round!

If he tries to use any attack on you (except for moves that are not very effective against him, such as Fighting type moves and Rock type moves), use Me First so you can get the jump on him despite your low speed, otherwise, use Brine until the Gallade falls.

Be ready to use Magic Coat if he tries to use any move prone to being reflected back through Magic Coat, and if he tries using Double Team, we'll have to improvise since you cannot use Snatch...in the case of Double Team, use a widely-aimed Blizzard so that he has little chance to avoid a hit this way.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Lloyd remember Dwarven Vow number 1: Lets all work together for the sake of a peaceful world. Get all of your friends then put up a Guardian and finally Tempest.

Double Team+Protect+Fury Cutter

[RaZoR LeAf]

Round Fourteen

Lloyd has little health left to survive long in this battle, and has to do as much damage as possible to his foe to make a difference. He bundles all of his attacks into one go, throwing several copies of himself up and at the same time shielding himself from any damage. He rushes at Socrates, blades glistening with an 'insectoid' aura. Socrates sighs and summons a powerful wind filled with ice and snow. The blizzard collides with Lloyd's shield, leaving him unharmed, but the cloens are nothing more than light and the shields protecting them similarly so. They are destroyed by the Blizzard in seconds. Lloyd slashes at Socrates, delivering an attack that digs deep into the Slowpoke's skin, but doesn't do anywhere near the damage Lloyd was expecting.

Socrates HP -4, PP -10 ;
Lloyd HP -0, PP -5 ;

Exhausted from the triple combo, Lloyd is left wide open to attack from his foe. Socrates takes his time, creating a ball of water above him. He mentally directs it over Lloyd, where it picks up debris from the atmosphere and arena, becoming something akin to sea-water than the pure aqua it started as. It empties out of Lloyd's head and is enough to knock him out. Lloyd Irving is recalled by Emerald, and Knight of Time is named the victor of the battle

Lloyd HP -9, PP -0 ;
