Turtleshotz vs. Underscore (Ref: Puma)

[Turtleshotz]

Who wants to be my first?
I challenge anybody to a 2v2
The arena you ask?
How about an abandoned cellar. Rusty chains hang from the ceiling and shattered glass litters the floor. Pokemon who need to stand on the ground take a small amount of damage from the broken glass each round. Those Pokemon that can fly/levitate or hang from the chains in the ceiling will have an advantage here.

Who is up to the task?

[Puma]

I shall be reffing this if you're okay with that. Sounds fun! (:

[Turtleshotz]

Sounds great man thanks. Now we just await a challenger.

[Underscore]

I'll fight you. So who sends/attacks first, then?

[Turtleshotz]

Awesome looking forward to it
I'll send first, then you choose and attack
I choose Spectre the shiny Male Duskull with Levitate

[Underscore]

I choose Ralts M Trace.
Taunt~Thunderwave~Shadow Ball

Taunt again if it fails the first time, then proceed with Thunderwave.

[Turtleshotz]

Ok Spectre, see if you can get a confuse ray off before the taunt then follow up with shadowball x2

If you can't confuse ray then just shadowball x3

[Puma]

Trying to get this up tomorrow (:

------------------------------------------
Uhm... Hello, ladies and gentlemen, well, actually we are comepletely on our own. Who the hell would join us in a freakin' haunted mansion? if that's not enough, we even get to fight down in the cellar. Amazing. I love it. It's not scary at all. Turtleshotz, our newcomer, doesn't seem to be bothered though. He is just chilling with his Duskull and waits for his opponent to get into the room. Aw, great. Now Ghosts get involved too.
Suddenly, a red flash lightens the room, leaving me and my pants in total shock. AAALLLRIGHT, this is going to suck so hard. Anyway, Ralts without a nickname appears on the battlefield, starting to fly as it sees the Duskull.
Uhm, does this work for real? I should take a closer look at levitating Pokémon more often.

Anyway, let's get this over with! I don't want to wet my pants anymore.
♣ROUND 1♣

Psycho versus Ghost, eh? The mental counterpart to Duskull starts out with... Wait. Are these noises supposed to anger the Duskull? Seriously, it sounds like a bee rampaging. Duskull seems to fall for the "taunt" and starts to fling a ball of shadows into Ralts direction. That is absolutely not working out as much as Ralts thought. At least I suppose it doesn't, since he gets launched across the whole room, directly into the sharp shards. In addition, we have a pissed off ghost here. Great.
[ Spectre | -0 HP |- 9 EP | Taunted ] - [ Ralts | -14 HP; -2 HP due to crashing into shards | -5 EP | ~ ]

Duskull starts grunting angrily, preparing to attack again, Ralts in the meantime, conjures a wave of electricity to piss Spectre even more off. He flung another Shadowball, except this time, he doesn't, since his body just won't respond to his actions. At least it is able to continue looking like a mad scientist, seeing someone in his way. Shivering over here!
[ Spectre | -0 HP |-8 EP | + Paralyzed | Can't move! ] - [ Ralts | -0 HP | -6 EP | ~ ]

Ralts finally decides to attack. Just as I thought it couldn't get any more passive, the little psycho typeling starts to form a ball of shadows. Spectre, seeing his enemy copying his trick gets even angrier at him and conjures a shadow ball of his own. Both Pokémon release them at once, maneuvering around the battlefield as it crashes exactly into both Pokémon. Duskull seems to take it a bit better though, since it doesn't seem like Ralts is used to mean ghost attack-shenanigans.
[ Spectre | -12 HP | -8 EP | ~ ] - [ Ralts | -14 HP | -9 EP | ~]

------------------------------------------

...Afterwards...

Referee Notes

• Nice start, remember, switching is possible at any given time, but it takes away an action.
• Turtleshotz will issue his commands next!
• Unless overcome, the effect of paralyzis will slowly decay over the next 4 actions. Taunt will end after the next 6 actions, unless somehow stopped.
• If the Energy of a Pokémon happens to reach 0, it will lose 1 HP for every 2 EP consumed. Also, it's action pool is reduced to two per round. However, the effect of "Relax" is doubled.

[Turtleshotz]

Great Reffing Puma, but just wanted to mention that I'm pretty sure I command next

[Puma]

Shhh... You saw nothing. (:

[Turtleshotz]

Great job Spectre keep it up!
Lets change it up a little bit
Dark Pulse~Shadow Ball~Dark Pulse
If your paralyzed during the second action change the third to Shadow Ball

[Underscore]

Swagger~Shadow Ball 2x

[Puma]

Well, once again, I see if I can bring it up today (that's here like, for 3 more hours), if not, tomorrow for sure!

Yo, you ready for some more?
♣ROUND 2♣

And we are back in the mansion. For my pants sake, I don't want to stay here any longer. It is eerie, scary and there is some kind of little psycho dude, showing off his moves. Aaaalright, did he really just started dancing? This does make me feel even more uncomfortable. Spectre, still in anger, watches the dancesteps. Confused by the sudden stop of fighting, his dark pulse explodes right into it's own face. Ouch, that was quite painful to watch!
[ Spectre | -6 HP due to hurting itself super effectively | -8 EP | + Confused ] - [ Ralts | -0 HP | -6 EP | ~ ]

Aww, at least it didn't hit itself, that would've done way more damage. Don't even want to think about it. Spectre, having mixed feelings, starts to conjure a shadow ball, however, Ralts takes the upper hand and hurls a ball of it's own into Spectre's direction. Ouch! Payback time! His Ball directly hits Ralts head, leaving it so disturbed that even it's Special Defense seems to go down a bit! Spectre starts giggling silently.
[ Spectre | -13 HP |-9 EP | ~ ] - [ Ralts | -14 HP | -8 EP | Sp. Defense down! ]

Time for the little Ralts to strike back! Once again, which is quite a bit repetitive, it hurls ANOTHER shadow ball. Damn, I don't even get scared anymore. Now seriously, you need to be a tad more creative, even Spectre is not impressed, right? What? You can't move? Oh. Might be just me then.
KAWOOM! Making special sound effects, because there's not much to hear from a ghost getting hit by a, well ghostly ball as it's trainer shouts commands it just can't fulfill at the given time. Well, yeah. Spectre is even angrier now, as it seems to forget how to ward himself from these kind of attacks, since, as randomness declares, also Duskulls Special Defense goes down! That is unfortunate, we are right at where we were.
[ Spectre | -12 HP | -8 EP | Can't move! | Sp. Defense down! ] - [ Ralts | -0 HP | -9 EP | ~]

Referee Notes

[Underscore]

I like how you ref confusion

By the way, if anything seems obscure or needs explanation, feel free to ask, even in advance. (Like, if you want to know how I ref a certain status infliction for example)

Aw man, let's continue this!
♣ROUND 3♣

Oh god. I'd be extremely angry on Ralts if I were Spectre. The treatment it has to go through, for real now. Paralyzed, Taunted, Confused and Special Defense reduction. What a dickish move! Anyway, as if that was not enough, Ralts slowly approaches and stares into Spectre's eyes. We'll never know if it closed his eyes due to feeling uncomfortable, but it looks like he just fell asleep in an instant. Still, it is able to talk a few syllables in it's sleep. Suddenly, a strong feeling of vengeance overcomes Spectre, and it slaps Ralts face. However, since it wasn't hit before, the damage is bearable.
[ Spectre | -0 HP | -10 EP | + Asleep (Deep Slumber) | Sleep Talk: Payback ] - [ Ralts | -8 HP | -6 EP | ~ ]

Oh, what a beautiful day to be a Duskull! The air in the graveyard smells rotten in a wonderful way, and a few corpses just lie there on the ground. Oh, nothing could nullify this entirely-happy moment. What is that in the Sky? A giant vacuum cleaner? What the? A bright light interrupts it's imagination and the graveyard disappears, leaving Spectre behind in a bright light. It feels like it's dream just vanished, got sucked away. NOOOOO! It mumbles a few words, trying to get it's dreams back, but Spectre's efforts are useless. The bright light continues to shine right at it's face, almost hurting.
[ Spectre | -17 HP |-10 EP | Sleep Talk: Rest ] - [ Ralts | +5 HP | -12 EP | ~ ]

Spectre managed to get back to the Graveyard. It's so wonderful! This time nothing can tear him apart from his treasure! Oh, nevermind. Ralts starts to destroy his dreams once more... but wait? What is this? A purple-ish barrier raised in front of Spectre, rendering the dream-eating attempt useless.
Spectre is able to enjoy the graveyard for a longer period this time around it seems!
[ Spectre | -0 HP | -10 EP | Sleep Talk: Protect ] - [ Ralts | -0 HP | -12 EP | ~]

It was a relieving round! Spectre recovered from all his status ailments.
[ Spectre | No longer Paralyzed, Taunted, Confused]
------------------------------------------

...Afterwards...

Referee Notes

• Turtleshotz will issue his commands next!
• Taunt did not come into effect, because Duskull was asleep. Just in case you are wondering.

  (Deep Slumber: 15 Actions asleep, this number is being reduced for hits the pokemon get. -1 per weak attack, -3 for a strong one, and -5 for dream eater.)
• If the Energy of a Pokémon happens to reach 0, it will lose 1 HP for every 2 EP consumed. Also, it's action pool is reduced to two per round. However, the effect of "Relax" is doubled.

♣ROUND 4♣

Back in the eerie mansion, great. At least the ghost is sleeping, so my soul will probably stay where it is for a little longer. Ralts does approve of the immobility of it's opponent and hurls a strong shadowball in Spectre's direction. It sends the Duskull flying... Oh, wait, no. It flew before, right?
Spectre once again mutters in his sleep and starts singing a song. Pretty effective at that, causing a fair bit of damage to Ralts. It was not the best song, but it had it's... uhm... charm?
[ Spectre | -14 HP | -10 EP | Slumbercounter: -3 | Sleep Talk: Round ] - [ Ralts | -6 HP | -8 EP | ~ ]

Ralts starts thinking about it's next move. Something creative? Nah, just going to spam more shadowballs. Never change a working system, ey?
Spectre got knocked into the shards, resulting in him waking up. Uh-oh.
The Ghost unleashes a Shadow Ball of it's own, tossing the now a bit uncomfortable Ralts right at the walls of the cellar. Ouch.
[ Spectre | -13 HP |-8 EP | Woke up! ] - [ Ralts | -18 HP | -9 EP | ~ ]

Seems like this battle is going to get interesting now!
Oh wait, no it doesn't. Both Pokémon create ANOTHER ball made out of shadows, and fling it at each other. I'm going to sit down in the corner and wait for something amazing... Nevermind! After both Pokémon got knocked back again, Spectre doesn't seem to levitate back into battle anymore. Now that was exciting! In addition, I don't have to worry about the Ghostproblem any longer.

I.. don't... wanna.. be here anymore. It's dark, cold, eeriee, scary, and what not. Anyway, another flash or red light and a poisonous frog joins the battle. ALRIGHT. I'M OUT.
.
.
.
Nevermind, the door is locked. Anura, following her trainer's commands, starts walking on the wall and hurls a purple-ish blob at Ralts, who unfortunately happens to survive the hit and focuses on re-arranging gravity. Whoops, Anura's not-standing-on-the-shards-plan that needs a major shortage seems to have failed right there. She crashes right into the shards, getting double damage by the sharp glass. Unfortunate for Ralts, his levitate doesn't seem to work anymore either, and he facepalms into the shards, next to Anura. What a brilliant way to get knocked out.

Finally a bit of progress!
♣ROUND 6♣

Another red of flash light, and I'm eagerly waiting for the next monstrosity to screw my sanity over. OH GOD IT'S... actually it's quite adowable!
At least it's a lot more calming than this frog over there, trying to throw up some poisonous goo. Ew, this stuff is all over the little bird's face now. However, Anura seems to like the Rufflet with his new color a lot, and starts hugging him.
Due to gravity, that's quite possible I guess.
[ Anura | -0 HP | -9 EP | Attracted! ] - [ Rufflet | -11 HP | -6 EP | ~ ]

But wait, there's more!
Quite literally, since Rufflet decided to create a few copies of himself. Making a backup for later, eh? Croagunk meanwhile toughens up, ready to take the little bird on.
[ Anura | -0 HP | -5 EP | Attack and Defense (+1) ] - [ Rufflet | -0 HP | -6 EP | Doppelgangers (+3) ]

Rufflet and his company of not-so-tall birds, decide to get serious now. They want to charge in union, however, Gravity keeps them down at the ground, resulting in a weak gangbang attack. Well, at least there's no recoil due to the loss of speed. It's something!
Anura, dazzled by the possibility of having 4 Rufflets to cuddle, ignores her trainer's commands and proceeds to hug one of the them. However, it was only a clone, and it vanishes due to Anura's contact. She sheds a tear. Sad Face.
