In a remote mountain range, a battle is about to take place. Croaks, a newly evolved Toxicroak is standing on top of a fallen tree that has been there for several years, while Ferdinand, a cute little Flaaffy, is standing beside a pine tree, ready for battle

The fight starts off with Ferdinand splitting into various copies of himself (4 ENG @ Ferdinand). Croaks glares at each other, focusing on one in particular, he begins to throw insults around (3 ENG @ Croaks) and seems not to care who he insults, as long as one gets mad. Flaaffy growls, infuriated by the nerve that… That.. TOAD seems to have.

As the clones disappear from the last action, Croaks leaps off the log and slams all four of his feet onto the ground. The mountain side trembles and quakes and suddenly the trees are toppling while the snow loosens and begins to slide. Jagged rock stalagmites and boulders shot up from the ground or roll, destroying all in their path (13 DMG @ Ferdinand, 5 ENG @ Croaks). The electric type shakes off the snow and dirt that has covered him, and leaps angrily towards frog, slamming him to the ground (5 DMG @ Croaks, 3 ENG @ Ferdinand).

Content with the damage he has done, Croaks concentrates, focusing his power while picturing himself doing an elegant dance with swords (4 ENG @ Croaks). Ferdinand growls, he gathers energy that forms into a glistening gem. With haste he flings the gem at Croaks, whose hit straight in the face (5 DMG @ Croaks, 3 ENG @ Ferdinand).

Round two kicks off with Croaks focusing his energies before he leaps towards Ferdinand, elbow brought forward in the most menacing of fashions. He slams his elbow into Flaaffy’s head (12 DMG @ Ferdinand, 4 ENG @ Croaks). Ferdinand growls, he has his opponent right where he wants him. Furious from the taunting and the earthquake, the electric type grabs hold of the frog’s foot and swings him around. Bashing him into numerous rocks and trees before standing the dazed frog in front of him and slamming a glowing fist into Toxicroak’s face (20 DMG @ Croaks, 5 ENG @ Ferdinand). Croaks’ falls onto his face, completely dazed.

Recovering from the brutal attack; Croaks backs away from the fuming Flaaffy back onto his trusty log. There he proceeds to pump his muscles and show off his strength (2 ENG @ Croaks). Unfortunately, it’s hard to buff the muscles and dodge at the same time. Croaks is slammed hard by a angry sheep, bent on revenge. Toxicroak yelps and cries out as Flaaffy proceeds to punch, scratch, kick, and head butt the living hell out of the frog (11 DMG @ Croaks, 4 ENG @ Flaaffy). This attack leaves Ferdinand feeling calmer and much more level headed.

The final actions are about to collide. Croaks allows yucky purple goo and purple energy to drip and cover his hand, while Ferdinand begins to spark and crackle wildly. Toxicroak doesn’t hesitate any longer; he bounds forward and slams his poisonous hand into Ferdinand (13 DMG @ Ferdinand, 3 ENG @ Croaks), who in turn, releases a horrid thunder. The energy hits the frog like the train and sends him flying back (15 DMG @ Croaks, 4 ENG @ Ferdinand)! Croaks slides down the hill somewhat, his body ends up lying on the edge of the river.

nice job Croaks, at least now your pumped for the next round.

but for now Grey the floor is yours

[Greyfox]

Well-played, Ferdinand. Now that you're frustrations have been purged, I want you to play defensively. Close your eyes and your ears - anything to keep you from being taunted again - and use Safeguard. Once that protects you, I want you to use Flash so that Croaks is blinded. Finally, use Thunderbolt!

Safeguard / Flash / Thunderbolt

[Unsolved Puzzle]

shouldnt ferdanan still be taunted?

ok croaks now we beat down! ok start with a sucker punch, then an earthquake if the flashed worked, if not a X scizzor, and end with a focous blast if the flash didnt work, but if it did, then use another poison jab.

sucker punch ~ earthquake / X scizzor ~ focous blast / poison jab

RUMBLE TIME!

shouldnt ferdanan still be taunted

Nope; according to Crystal Tears, the Frustration attack calmed his nerves.

Another exciting round, with Ferdinand preparing to use safeguard, however, Croaks has secretly crawled behind Flaaffy, and with no remorse, takes his dark enchanted fist and slams it into the back of Ferdinand's head (11 DMG @ Ferdinand, 4 ENG @ Croaks).

OW.

The sheep flies forward, tumbling down the hill until he comes to rest as the shore of the river. Almost exactly where Toxicroak landed. He groans, resuming his attack, he summons a faint blue shield around himself (4 ENG @ Ferdinand).

Ferdinand growls, annoyed at this 'frog' he concentrates. His body glows faint and then suddenly, the light explodes, enveloping the entire arena (3 ENG @ Ferdinand). Poor Croaks' vision fades away and now all he sees is a horrifying white that doesn't seem to fade. Remembering his plan, he slams his feet on the ground again. And the rumbling ensues. More trees topple while the snow is weakened further. Rocks and various other objects tumble down the side of the mountain (15 DMG @ Ferdinand, 5 ENG @ Croaks). Another earthquake and that snow might just turn deadly.

The last action commences, Croaks can't see, but even so, he's going to attempt to strike Ferdinand like he has done this entire round. His fist glows and then is covered by thick, purple goo. He launches forward, yet hits a tree instead of his target (3 ENG @ Croaks). Ferdinand doesn’t let this chance pass, his body sparks wildly and then a crackling thunderbolt slams into Toxicroak, doing good damage (12 DMG @ Croaks, 3 ENG @ Ferdinand).

ok croaks. use another earth quake, then use bulk up, u are going to need the extra strength, and end by using strength to pick flaaffy up and throw he in to your trusty tree.

earthquake ~ bulk up ~ strength

[Greyfox]

Immediately, Ferdinand, and I mean "immediately" in the strictest sense of the word, Disable that toxicroak's earthquake. Then, as he bulks up, I want you to as well with Charge! Then, let him grab you with his strength, and show him who's boss. As he has you in his hands, I want you to fire off a super-powered Thunder! The sheer power of the attack should keep him from launching you anywhere.

Croaks immediately starts off with another earthquake, and Ferdinand tries to stop him. But the Toxicroak isn’t even hindered! Poor Flaaffy cannot learn Disable, and thus the attack failed. Croaks’ attack however, is a complete success. The mountain once again shakes and rumbles, trees topple, more stalagmites shoot up from the ground, and Ferdinand takes a heavy beating (14 DMG @ Ferdinand, 5 ENG @ Croaks). However the rumbling doesn’t stop, both Pokemon look up the hill to see a wave of snow and ice that has been loosened by the earthquake coming towards them. Despite this, they continue to battle.

Ferdinand watches as Croaks boosts his ego once again with a muscle show (2 ENG @ Croaks), annoy by his previous attack not working, Ferdinand sparks wildly and powers up his own attack, in preparation for what’s coming next (2 ENG @ Ferdinand).

The final action commences, though the rumbling of the snow has grown louder, both Pokemon are quite fixated on killing each other. The blind Croaks stumbles about, trying desperately to find his enemy, however he runs SMACK into a tree (4 ENG @ Croaks). Ferdinand doesn’t waste time, now realizing his opponent cannot pick him up, he charges up a thunder that has received double the power from charge and fires it at Croaks. The attack is a success; frying the frog all to hell (20 DMG @ Croaks, 4 ENG @ Ferdinand). Croaks groans, even after the horrendous attack, his body is still sparking, constricted by a horrible paralysis.

Grey, if you can provide me with evidence that Ferdinand can learn Disable, I will ref this again, but as far as I know. Flaaffy cannot learn Disable.

[Greyfox]

I could've sworn he did according to Veekun, but I must've been looking up stats on a different pokemon. No matter...

Ferdinand, with the avalanche persuing, we have to be hasteful. Immediately Discharge your electric energy onto Croaks - that should be enough to take him down; then run to safety regardless.

croaks my comands are simple

The avalanche coming closer and closer, both Pokemon must finish this battle before that hell storm is on top of them. Ferdinand concentrates, though the fear is begin to grip his heart as he can hear trees snapping under the pressure of the snow. He stares wide-eyed at the insane Toxicroak who slams all four feet onto the ground. The rumbling increase and more loose snow is drawn into the chaos (14 DMG @ Ferdinand, 5 ENG @ Croaks). Despite the world around him shaking, Flaaffy releases the energy he has built up and zaps Croaks (15 DMG @ Croaks, 3 ENG @ Ferdinand). The frog collapses defeated.

With the avalanche right on top of them, Unsolved Puzzle is left to choose his next warrior.

Ok. Arena’s about to go through a major change. Just so you know. You CAN battle in the Avalanche, as it will be here for probably two rounds. Visibility is poor, and I suggest being careful. There is a high probability of being thwacked by something, whether it be a tree, rock, or a random skier.

Good luck

ok lets go Purrs , my female Glameow, your agility should be enogh to survive on this mountain.

ok purrs, use double team , then a furry swipes, then if Flaaffy isnt already down, then hit it with Assurance, if it is down however, just chill out

double team ~ furry swipes ~ Assurance / chill out

[Greyfox]

Ferdinand, you've done well; Cheesey would be proud. Now let's go down fighting, shall we? For starters Double Team is gonna be useless in the oncoming storm; even if it isn't, she's gonna make herself apparent by attacking you anyway. As she attempts to use Double Team, Charge up once more, Ferdinand. Then, when she comes at you with Fury Swipes, I want you to leap away and fire off a powerful Thunderbolt!

With two seconds of being released, the arena is suddenly white. Both Pokemon can barely see each other, and it is impossible to hear. Flaaffy ducks; watching awestruck as a giant log rolls over him, inches away from his head. Staying concentrated, he once again charges himself up (2 ENG @ Ferdinand). Purrs however attempts to summon clones (2 ENG @ Purrs), yet they are blown away by the current of the snow.

Flaaffy gets ready, a blur of grey appears before him, and suddenly there are claws (3 ENG @ Purrs). Using a substantial amount of energy, Flaaffy leaps back into the main current of the avalanche, dodging rocks, trees, and… Was that Chris 2.0? Nah, just a slip of the eye (6 ENG @ Ferdinand).

Now forced a bit downhill, Flaaffy just manages to spot a Glameow carefully making her way down. Ferdinand’s body sparks and glows firing off a thunderbolt that arches and gives Purrs a good shock (17 DMG @ Purrs, 3 ENG @ Ferdinand). Purrs hisses and bravely leaps through the current her body glowing with dark energy. She slams into Ferdinand, doing light damage (5 DMG @ Ferdinand, 2 ENG @ Purrs).

ok glameow, while Sneasel is danceing use a Hypnosis, if for some reason the avalanch dosnt permit it, use a flash instead. then end with a combo, use quick attack to gain speed, then when u are close enogh to the Sneasal use shadow claw, if you do not get to use shadow claw, use your last action on water pulse.
