MEXICAN STANDOFF!
PIXEL vs DARKESTLIGHT vs AYEUN
ROUND ONE!
Three trainers stand in a triangle formation in the center of this derelict town. The buildings are all worn and decrepid, showing signs of their age. What started as Ayeun passively saying something about Darkly's mama, and him absent-mindedly punching Pixel in the jaw as a result, turned into a standoff. Three trainers, eager to defend their own honor, and no understanding of what it means to lose a standoff, eye one another for a few seconds before releasing their first three pokemon.
Pixel's ball hits the ground first, releasing a spry and agile sandshrew; the hot, sweaty city is the perfect arena for him. Darkly's poke ball is second -- a clefairy emerges. Finally Ayeun's milotic is summoned. The majestic sea serpent looks none too happy with her trainer at the moment.
Milotic, the fastest of the three, has trouble locating a source of water to drown her opponents. For a few seconds, she frantically looks around until her eyes lock onto a desolate water tower. The city's empty anyway, might as well use it. With a telepathic grasp on the water inside the tower, Milo forces the water to burst from it, sending a rush of water down through the main streets. Sandshrew and Starscream are easily washed away [ -9HP Starscream, -14HP Sandshrew / -5PP Milotic ]. Sandshrew pulls himself free from the watery prison and stares at the orange sky. Within seconds, a storm of sand engulfs the city [ -5PP Sandshrew / Sandstorm activated / Sand Veil activated / -1HP Milotic ]. Starscream, with his Magic Guard protecting him from harm, snaps his fingers. His body becomes hardened and his muscles become tighter [ -3PP Starscream / +10% SpD/Def Starscream ].
Milo whines at the sand as it scuffs against her scales, but she remains poised. She fires off a concentrated blast of water from her mouth that collides into Sandshrew easily [ -18HP Sandshrew / -8PP Milotic / -1HP Milotic ]. Sandshrew again picks himself up out of the water and slashes at the sands below. A series of sand clones surround the real Sandshrew, making it difficult for anyone to tell which is which [ -5PP Sandshrew / +50% Eva Sandshrew ]. The clones, however, aren't as helpful as he'd hope, as the pink clefairy comes down hard on his torso with a balled up fist [ -8HP Sandshrew* / -7PP Starscream ]. Sandshrew's concentration wanes and his clones instantly crumble [ -50% Eva Sandshrew ].
Milo's eyes begin to burn as the sandstorm rages on -- she wails loudly, shooting a blade of draconic energy through the sands, striking Starscream down easily [ -8HP Starscream / -5PP Milotic / -1HP Milotic ]. Sandshrew, meanwhile, focuses energy on himself as he creates a safeguard veil [ -5PP Sandshrew / Safeguard activated ]. Once more, Starscream is the last to act, pummeling the dragon-like pokemon with his electrified fist [ -11HP Milotic / -6PP Starscream ].
