Dark sage accepted the challenge (ref: Tsuki)

[Silencer]

Overlooking your pokémon I figured you would chose that one.

taunt your foe so he'll only be able to attack you. If succesfull then use toxic to hinder him alot and finish by relaxing, we might still last 1 more round

If taunt wasn't succesfull then relax first and then strike with thunderbolt

taunt~toxic/relax~relax/thunderbolt

[Dark Sage]

Lily, use Protect to avoid either the Taunt or the Toxic.

Venus was tired, but you're fresh - you can do it easily.

Then, use the rain to your advantage. Soak that spook with Hydro Pump.

Then continue the onslaught. Use Water Pulse.

[Dark Sage]

Making sure this battle isn't forgotten...

[Chris 2.1]

Tsuki has posted in the absence tower that she may be busy during the next week

[Silencer]

Should we get a sub ref or wait?

[Dark Sage]

Bumping...

Is Tsuki back yet?

Chapter Ten: Busy Busy Busy!!

Right from the signal to go, both trainers are at each other's throats. Dark Sage has released Lily, his first fully evolved pokemon, and she looks angry.

Spookster, though tired, still has his ego. He begins to taunt Lily, throwing insults and obscene gestures, but the defiant Lily smiles, a glimmer shield of hexagons that have forged together shine for just a second to show that Lily isn't going to be effected, in fact, she's barely paying attention.

Spookster decides to rest, panting heavily, he doesn't even see the joyously dancing Ludicolo do a little jig and then fire off a well sized jet of water, which slams relentlessly into ghost pokemon, whose spent spiralling back.

Annoyed, and rather wet, Spookster retaliates with firing off a brilliant thunderbolt, which flies threw the air and strikes Lily, who dazed, fires off another jet off water that smacks into Spookster, weakening him further, but he's still hanging in there.

Notes: Not much to say, Lily is out.
I have a lot of school work, so sorry if the reffings are late.

[Dark Sage]

I'm glad this is back up.

Lily, first use Water Pulse.

Then, hit that spook with Blizzard!

Then, use Water Pulse again.

If he tries to use Taunt or Toxic, switch your current move to Protect again. We don't want that.

[Silencer]

This may be a little cheap but we'll need the lead. So Spookster toxic till succesful. If you have another move left then fire of a psychic.

toxic till succesfull~psychic(if move left)

[Dark Sage]

From now on, I am outlawing Toxic in all my battles.

And Silencer, as soon as you send out a pokemon that isn't immune to Toxic, that's the first move I'm gonna use. That's the cheapest thing I've ever seen.

Chapter Eleven: Cheap, but Still a strategy.

With a few harsh words being thrown about by the trainers, the Pokemon are left to fallow out their commands.

Spookster begins to cough and gag, spewing out disgusting purple goo that flies towards Lily, but slams into the hexagon shield. Lily Smiles, her shield worked.
The strategy is repeated again, Lily summons the shield again, though weaker, it stops the liquid.

The third and final time however, Spookster, with a very sore throat, spews out the purple toxins again; it slams into the shield, which had hexagons missing! The liquid unfortunately hits Lily’s body, and seeps in.

“That’s the cheapest thing I’ve ever seen!” Dark Sage growls, as Lily looks back at him saddened.

“A Strategy is a Strategy!” Silencer calls back.

Summary of Chapter Eleven: Cheap, but Still a strategy.

Spookster <> ♂ <> Gastly

Lily <> ♀ <> Ludicolo

Energy: Okay!
Poison: 6% Next Round

Notes: Ok.. Though you might be annoyed with the strategy, there is no reason to start throwing unkind words about. As stated in this reffing, a strategy is a strategy. Whether it was ‘cheap’ or not, Silencer wanted to poison Lily, and he successfully did so. It wasn’t unfair, he saw a flaw in your plan, and exploited it. Through out this match their will be chances to get him back, so please, refrain from insulting each other or each others strategies.
Rain is beginning to die down, will stop in 4 rounds.

[Dark Sage]

I retract my earlier statements and apologize...

Silencer, it is your move...

[Silencer]

I also feel the need to apoligize DS. I will confess the strategy was cheap but this is a flaw that I have falling inro several times during the old ASB (especially by people sorted out high in the unkept rankings).

Anyway, Spookster start off with a confuse ray. If your foe looks away just relax. Then use all your remaining energy into a big shadow ball. You did great Spookster, I'm proud of you

confuse ray/relax~shadow ball(as big as possible)

[Dark Sage]

Lily, first, cover your eyes and look away.

Then, use the move you were born with - Astonish. Try to disrupt his concentration.

Then, hit him with a Blizzard!

[Silencer]

Very well. Let's finish.

Round Twelve, Begin!

After a long period of hiatus, the battle begins once more. Tiring, Spookster begins end-game tactics. His dark pupils flash, preparing a Confuse Ray but Lily has already covered her eyes in anticipation of the move. Frowning, the ghost cancels the attacks, choosing to relax instead.

As Lily uncovers her eyes, Spookster immediately begins preparing what he hopes will be his last attack. His very body seems to flicker and fade as spectral energy collects in front of him, shaped in a loose sphere. Lily charges in without fear, her fist surrounded in a light blue energy, and takes a swipe at the spook. Spookster grunts, releasing his Shadow Ball before completion, and fires it early. The attack is too large, and Lily is too close to avoid being clipped by the sphere of dead energy. (9% damage) Even so, the blast has taken a great amount of energy from Spookster, who appears much less substantial than before.

His fatigue proves to be too much, as Lily overwhelms the ghost with a miniature storm of subzero power. As the blizzard clears, Spookster is revealed, barely afloat. Silencer recalls the defeated Pokemon, congratulating him on a job well done.

Rainfall- 3 more rounds.

Notes: Since Tsuki doesn't use energy, it doesn't make sense to add it now. I guessed from Silencer's orders that you wanted Shadow Ball to be your very last attack, so what would have been energy cost came from health instead. It won't always be like that, it's only because you wanted to go down fighting.

[Dark Sage]

Okay, I think Silencer has to send out his next Pokemon, then I have to state my attacks, then he states his attacks.

So, Silencer...

[Silencer]

I'll send out Sting, my male nidoran

[Dark Sage]

Clever. You remembered how I threatened to use Toxic.

Lily, start with Fake Out.

Then, use Facade. Try to benefit from the poison.

End with an Ice Beam.

If he tries to use Horn Drill when you're doing anything except Fake Out, simply dodge and run away. He'll never hit you, and he'll just use a whopping amount of energy trying.

Since this guy can't use any Flying attacks, not much in his arsenal can hurt you badly, so remember that.

[Silencer]

Alright, with the fake out she's coming straight at you so fire of an ice beam.

Then let's try to get to her muscles with shock wave

then attack from below with dig

Round Thirteen, Begin!

Silencer decides his second choice will be Sting, his male Nidoran. The rabbit-like Pokemon, rarely seen in ASB, screeches sharply as he takes the field, determined to do his best. Lily, for her part, isn’t ready to lose. She springs forward, and tackles Sting suddenly with her shoulder lowered. (4% damage) Sting squeals, knocked backwards. His Ice Beam attack is slightly off when fired, grazing the right arm of the Ludicolo and creating a thin layer of frost along the surface. (7% damage)

Growing annoyed, Lily focuses on the painful toxins bubbling within her and strikes the Nidoran with a flurry of quick physical strikes. (8% damage) As she was only poisoned two rounds ago, the pain is fresh in her mind, and she has no problem letting out some steam. Battered, Sting leaps backward and releases a barrage of small electric volts, which home in on Lily immediately. (6% damage) Fortunately, she suffers no permanent nerve damage.

Lily rubs her numb arm, irritated, before creating a similar beam of icy energy. She releases the Ice Beam with a flash, hoping to freeze her opponent to the spot, but Sting has already disappeared. The beam dissipates harmlessly into the earth, freezing the patch of earth serving as Sting’s entrance shut. The poison Pokemon bursts from the earth in front of her like a fish out of a pond, and strikes her in the face with a jab of his horn. (6% damage) Lily falls back, her pain increasing as the poison within takes effect. (9% damage) Round Thirteen comes to a close…

[Silencer]

Let's move in for close combat, but don't run at him in a straight line, move unpredictable.

We'll start of with a horn attack.

Then switch over to fury attack.

And we'll finish it up with a double kick to knock him back.

If you are running at him and he's gonna use a wide spread attack (like blizzard) use dig unless it's E-quake. In that case try to dodge by jumping

[Dark Sage]

So, you want to wrastle, huh?

Lily, as he comes at you, use Double Team.

Then, drain him with Giga Drain.

Then, knock him silly with Brick Break.

Round Fourteen, Begin!

Sting decides to use his best asset, his horn, and charges Lily, zig-zagging from left to right. Lily ignores him, concentrating and forming two clones from nothingness. Sting decides to pick a target at random and lunges forward, bearing his horn. Fortunately for him, his horn pierces the true Lily, causing her to cry out in pain. (6% damage) With her concentration lost, the clones fade away.

Happy to have found the right Lily, Sting quickly follows up on his attacks, jabbing his horn this way and that in a flurry of quick pokes. (6% damage) Small bruises and scrapes appear with each jab, and Lily is pushed backwards in order to avoid worse injuries. However, as she is hit, she stealthily brushes a thorny vine against Sting’s side, sapping his strength. Sting barely notices as some of his health is drained away. (7% damage, 3% health returned.)

Sting ends his combo horn attacks by turning about quickly and smacking Lily square in the face with his hard back paws. SMACK! (7% damage) Lily rubs her face gingerly, then leaps forward and punches Sting hard in the back with a fist. (8% damage) Sting squeals, falling forward on his face from the force. He whirls around angrily, to see Lily grimace as the poison in her body takes effect.

All right Lily, time to get tough...

Use Facade three times!

It should do some damage.

[Silencer]

Fire of an ice beam to knock it back and hopefully slow it down. After that use a mud slap, the rain from before should help. Then finish it with dig

Round Fifteen, Begin!

With the poison in her system increasing, Lily's rage soars to new heights. She lays into the Nidoran, striking everywhere she can. (8% damage) Sting cries out in pain, thoroughly bruised now, and climbs to his feet. While the Ludiculo is catching her breath, Sting takes aim and fires a ray of of subzero energy.(8% damage) Caught by surprise, Lily's already cold right arm solidifies into a solid mass, completelely frozen.

Shivering, Lily strikes again, hampered somewhat by her frozen limb.(7% damage) Her frozen arm keeps her from attacking effectively, but at the same time, serves as a handy bludgeon. Sting leaps back, aching, and splashes up some loose, muddy dirt. His aim is on target, striking Lily square in the eyes, blinding her. (3% damage)

Lily isn't sure where her opponent is, focused on blinking the mud out of her vision. She charges in roughly the same direction where she sighted Sting last, flailing out at random. Her blows meet only air, and she nearly falls over a freshly dug hole created by Sting. The muddy earth is surprisingly easy to tunnel into. With the poison once more traversing deeper into her circulatory system, Lily hiccups, then collapses in pain. Dark Sage quickly approaches his fallen Pokemon, trying to ease her pain, while Sting resurfaces, happy with his victory.

Good job Sting.

Hey DS, maybe we can have a rematch with toxic banned sometime.

PS thx for helping me with my fic

[Dark Sage]

Look me up later. In a little bit, I'll have an evolution, then I'll gladly give you a rematch.

Thanks for the match.

[Silencer]

I'll prob gonna evolve some of my own pokémon first so it may take a while
