‡ Pre-Round ‡
‡ Round 1 ‡
G’day, ladies and gents, and welcome to *double checks arena name* Tangled Vines! Here, surrounded by dense vegetation, two relatively inexperienced trainers step up to plate with that familiar competitive glint in their eyes. Standing on either side of the leaf-strewn oval that will serve as the battlefield, the trainers pluck Pokeballs from their respective belts in unison and toss them into play. Identical flashes of red light ignite our surroundings as an airborne balloon and a devious-looking weasel take to the field. Well, that’s that, then! Let the battle begin!
Bloons is the first to strike. The Drifloon locks eyes with Weavile and starts trying to exert some mysterious Hypnotic influence over him. Wise to Bloons’s shenanigans, Weavile Detects that something is up and promptly does an about face, rendering the sleep-inducing move completely useless. Bloons deflates a little bit in disappointment. D’aww.
Bloons: <-6 EP>
Weavile: <-8 EP>
All of a sudden, our lush surroundings begin rustling wildly as a snap of cold, eerie wind rises out of nowhere. An Ominous Wind begins gusting through our clearing, causing several of the leaves on the ground to blow out of place, thereby exposing the moist ground. Weavile braces himself against the sudden attack, though his natural typing renders the move less effective than it perhaps could have been against some other foe. Once the wind dies down, Weavile begins cackling maniacally at Bloons. His laughter goes on for quite a while and seems to really be getting under Bloons’s skin. (Not that he has any.) Bloons’s eyes narrow as his rage rises. Somebody’s looking a little on the Tormented side.
Bloons: <-6 EP; Tmt>
Weavile: <-4 HP; -4 EP>
Bloons tries to go for a repeat of the previous action by stirring up another blast of wind, but appears far too angered to execute such a move. With a free action at his disposal, Weaviles does a spin on the spot and creates three identical clones. All lined up alongside his doppelgangers, Weavile seems well-hidden indeed. Bloons peers from one Weavile to the next, unsure exactly how he’s supposed to go about distinguishing which is the real deal.
Bloons: <Can’t move!>
Weavile: <-4 EP; 3 clones>
‡ Post-Round ‡
