00:49 RMankey Sunon walked into an event he knew nothing about, and only became more confused as a result. It prompted him enough to ask: "Really, what's going on?" He hoped Leith wouldn't drizzle him with negativity, having just walked away from fools.
00:51 DaiRef Leith glared at Sunon and just stood there with a confused look on his face. "Hmmm? What are you going on about?" He wasn't sure what he was talking about.
00:55 RMankey "I-" and Sunon stopped. "Best not get puzzled over nothing." Sunon felt a chill in his stomach, a feeling that, while not all-encompassing, made him shiver. Sunon pondered over this feeling, and decided it was just a fluke in a huge, adventurous continent.
00:57 DaiRef Leith looked at Sunon and sighed, "Well, are you ready for some training?" He asked him curiously. He knew that they had to stay focused and Sunon need not get sidetracked. "Quit wasting time, hm?" He placed his hands on his hips.
00:59 RMankey Sunon grabbed a Pokeball from his bag. He wasn't aware of the Pokemon within, but it was bound to be a productive day, however it went. "Yeah..." he begun, but not before making haste, "let's go!" And out of the Pokemon Center Sunon went.
01:03 RMankey The rain about Mauville began to expand, rapidly. The drizzle that once pat shoulders became more intense. Electricity in the town, once rampant, was tuned more finely, as to kee-*zap*
01:03 RMankey *KO*
01:03 RMankey Wingull F 0/20 HP
01:03 RMankey from happening again.
01:04 DaiRef Leith looked at the rain with a sigh and looked about the city for a clearing. Maybe there was a place nearby like a park or a clearing. However, the lightning surprised him and so did the wingull that fell from the sky. It was an incredibly strong rain storm it seemed like, but it was common in this region.
01:07 RMankey There were a few onlookers, but Sunon ignored these, and looked at his options. There was Route 117, Magma-infested and all, but it was a simple route with many options. Routes 118 and 112 were also diverse; the former he'd been told a great deal of time ago. Perhaps Route 111 was open again, the same spot he found a rebellious little creature. "I take it
01:09 RMankey "we're headed east, then?" Sunon claimed, pointing towards where he remembers Route 118 being placed. He knew nothing about it but the fact the routes held many Pokemon, wild and owned, because of the beach there. Already, Sunon began to walk, putting back his Pokeball.
01:12 DaiRef Leith followed Sunon quietly, feeling the cold drips of rain increase the moisture around them. It felt good when the rain hit his face, but the humidity was killing him. Leith continued on to Route 118 ready to battle this newly met traveler.
01:16 RMankey At once, Sunon faced the entrance to Route...111! "Oh, wait! Nope!" He tried to brush this off when the actual Route 118 wasn't too terribly far away; there was a map that led there, for goodness's sake! This correction in mind, Sunon finally stepped towards the entrance to Route 118, an area whose scent already felt strange to him.

01:17 *** DaiRef joined #HoennRoute118
01:21 RMankey There was little rain on Route 118. Considering there was an ocean no less than a mile away, this transition felt awkward to Sunon, who didn't feel such changes in weather since...since he met the weather-shifter. The sand here was firm, and kept its form even after being stepped on. There was a tiny patch of grass to the right of the area, and only a slight
01:24 RMankey percentage of these blades were dancing to this shifty tune. What wasn't grass, soil, or water was made up of trees, these whose patterns were geometric from root to leaf. A huge, spherical object rested atop these trees, sturdily latched onto the bases.
01:27 RMankey Sunon searched his bag for a Poke Ball. The first step to Pokemon training was to have a Pokemon, according to Sunon, and he was more than willing to prove this when he *sent* Cornerstone. The ball lied flat on the ground at first, but with some patience
01:27 RMankey *bof*
01:29 RMankey ...the creature revealed itself. It gave Sunon a dirty look as it began using the sand around it to cover itself. With a few seconds, it could only get sand to its knees...
01:29 RMankey Sandshrew M 20/20 HP
01:29 RMankey ( long post alert? )
01:30 DaiRef "Alright...so who should we use against this little guy... hm? I'm sure Zuzu would definitely defeat it in one go... so I'm going to go with you." He stated with a smirk. He grabbed a pokeball from his bag and threw it on the ground lightly which *sent* Ruru from it's ball.
01:31 RMankey *bof*
01:31 RMankey Cornerstone M 20/20 HP VS Ruru M 20/20 HP
01:31 RMankey ...Cornerstone instinctively used *Defense Curl*!
01:31 RMankey Defense Curl...was used...
01:32 DaiRef "Starting to make moves already hm?" Leith glared at the shrew with a sigh and chuckled. "Oh well... that's not going to help much." He stated, placing a hand on his hip.
01:35 RMankey Sunon took a good look at Cornerstone. It was a very strange creature, one that'd use moves on its own accord. But it was not his Pokemon's demeanor, but Leith's talk that got Sunon ready for the challenge ahead. "Cornerstone, come here," he ordered, and the Mouse Pokemon did...
01:35 RMankey Cornerstone M 20/20 HP {+1 def} VS Ruru M 20/20 HP
01:35 RMankey ...and spit sand all over its Trainer's shoes.
01:36 DaiRef "So, when are you going to control your pokemon? Or is that too much to ask?" He asked, crossing his arms. He wasn't impressed whatsoever, even his team listened to his own commands at his own will.
01:39 RMankey "Wa-OK, that's enough, Cornerstone" Cornerstone finally decided to turn around, facing the worm. It didn't identify a threat; Heatmor, Magnezone, all bigger, more feisty-looking Pokemon than this. But at once, it opened its arms and prepared for a battle. "Just give me the signal," Sunon said, "and we can begin."
01:40 DaiRef "Alright... we will begin now!" He stated swiping his arm in the air.He looked down at Ruru with a command escaping his lips...
01:40 DaiRef "*Poison* *sting*!"
01:40 RMankey "Cornerstone, roll away from it!" Cornerstone sidestepped!
01:40 RMankey Poison Sting...
01:41 RMankey ...barely missed its mark, as Cornerstone was just too sneaky for it!
01:41 RMankey "Now, Cornerstone, counter with SCratch!" But Cornerstone had a better idea...*rollout*
01:41 DaiRef "Ruru sidestep!"
01:41 RMankey "Wait, when did you learn to do that?"
01:41 RMankey ...
01:42 RMankey ...Ruru got away from Rollout by the tip of its horn!
01:42 DaiRef "Follow up with poison sting! Sting it!!"
01:42 RMankey "Keep...doing that, then!"
01:42 RMankey The attacks...
01:42 RMankey *slam*
01:42 RMankey ...by the grace of Arceus, it was a collision!
01:43 DaiRef Leith cringed, hoping that Ruru would finally pull something off.
01:43 RMankey Sunon looked at Cornerstone. This move...it looked like something Electrode pulled off! HE thought about the bricks on its back, and got a grasp of his Pokemon's strategy.
01:44 RMankey ...and felt no more relieved when Cornerstone *rolled* over Ruru like it was roadkill.
01:45 RMankey ( uhh I need to calc this )
01:46 RMankey ( alright, calculated. looks like that did 24 damage considering Defense Curl, collision and type effectiveness )
01:46 RMankey *KO*
01:47 RMankey "...goodness gracious, Cornerstone! You'll make epitaths with attacks like that!"
01:47 RMankey Cornerstone M 20/20 HP {+1 def, ROLL T3} VS Ruru M 0/20 HP
01:49 RMankey ( +1 exp to Cornerstone! Cornerstone learned Rapid Spin! )
01:52 DaiRef Leith returned Ruru. He was disappointed in it's performance. "Tch, not bad so far..." He stated *recalling* the small worm back into it's pokeball. He glared at Sunon and the little pokemon awkwardly, changing his selection in pokeball.
01:52 RMankey Sunon was already surprised by just how capable this speed demon was. Rolling over a Pokemon with such force should be reserved for Gods. "I...should make my Pokemon more autonomous."
01:52 RMankey *whoosh*
01:52 RMankey Cornerstone M 20/20 HP {+1 def, ROLL T3} VS ???
01:54 DaiRef "Alright, next...Yoyo!" He threw out his next pokemon.
01:54 RMankey *bof*
01:54 RMankey Cornerstone M 20/20 HP {+1 def, ROLL T3} VS Yoyo 20/20 HP
01:54 DaiRef "Water gun!" He called out quickly.
01:54 RMankey Sunon took time to investigate this strange Pokemon, but then decided to give Cornerstone a comma-
01:54 RMankey *rollout*
01:55 RMankey "...break through it!"
01:55 RMankey ...
01:55 RMankey Sunon clenched his fist. That was a great stream of water - one shot and his Pokemon bites the dust.
01:56 RMankey ...damn right it DID! *splash*
01:57 RMankey Cornerstone felt its spunk running out; despite this, it understood but one thing; keep on rolling.
01:58 RMankey Cornerstone M 4/20 HP {+1 def, ROLL T4} VS Yoyo 20/20 HP
01:59 RMankey Cornerstone was digging a trench with its Rollout, with how strongly its was moving!
01:59 DaiRef Leith crossed his arms and looked down at the staryu with a fierce look on his face. "Don't fail me now Yoyo. Water gun once more!"
01:59 DaiRef The staryu sprung up and quickly spun about the field splashing water down on the shrew.
01:59 RMankey Sunon clenched his fist. This wouldn't be the first time his Pokemon would feel such an attack. But as it charged, Snon could only order: "Breakthrough it again!"
02:00 RMankey Sandshrew, this time, dispersed a very special kind of rollout. This one...
02:01 RMankey "...oh." *smash*
02:01 RMankey "...oh, my."
02:02 DaiRef "Push it back!" Leith called out, hoping the water was enough to send this shrew back. Leith's eyed the staryu closely, hoping it would be enough to stop it from advancing.
02:03 RMankey There was a trail of dust where the Mouse put its brick body, to the point where Yoyo was aiming at the inevitable. This Sandshrew...refused to give up in this ball. It was, at once, in its element.
02:03 RMankey *ko*
02:05 RMankey Cornerstone M 4/20 HP {+1 def, ROLL T5} VS Yoyo 0/20 HP
02:05 RMankey ( 48 damage Special rollout with a Defense Curl )
02:05 RMankey ( I...I cannot say )
02:06 DaiRef "You've got to be kidding me..." Leith was losing to this little thing? He wasn't through yet though. He sent out his next pokemon, a little bit with a flustered expression on his face. "ZUZU!" He threw it out harshly, ready to put it in it's place.
02:06 DaiRef *switch*
02:06 DaiRef *Zuzu*
02:06 RMankey ( Cornerstone learned Swift! But it didn't give a crap )
02:06 RMankey *bof*
02:07 RMankey Cornerstone M 4/20 HP {+1 def, ROLL T5} VS Zuzu M 45/45 HP
02:07 RMankey "Just...one more of those!"
02:07 DaiRef "Zuzu... you know what to do...." He stated. "Protect."
02:07 RMankey "Cor-huh?"
02:07 RMankey Cornerstone charged at full force!
02:07 RMankey *BANG*
02:09 RMankey The mouse's murder streak came to an end when it met the shield in front of its next victim. With such a protect, it tumbled, hit the ground, and stood there for a good few minutes.
02:09 RMankey Cornerstone M 4/20 HP {+1 def} VS Zuzu M 45/45 HP
02:09 RMankey *seconds
02:09 DaiRef "Now, just like you were a little mudkip... water gun!" He shouted out.
02:09 DaiRef *like when
02:09 RMankey "My good man! Dodge!"
02:09 RMankey Zuzu used water gun...
02:09 RMankey ...but Cornerstone refused to dodge. It pulled *swift* from its arsenal!
02:09 RMankey "Where do you learn this stuff?"
02:10 RMankey ...
02:10 RMankey *slam*
02:10 RMankey ( wait, Swift never misses )
02:11 DaiRef Marshtomp gushed out as much water as it could for the water gun, pushing it out of it's belly with pure force. It was definitely not it's typical hydro pump, so he increased as much as he could.
02:11 DaiRef ( yup )
02:11 RMankey ( I assume it's a collision, but it could be a move that hits no matter what? I think the former )
02:11 DaiRef ( It's a collision )
02:11 RMankey *thud*
02:11 DaiRef ( meaning dodge, sidestep, slide don't work against it )
02:11 DaiRef ( so it will hit a dodging pokemon )
02:12 RMankey ( gotcha, what I needed to know )
02:12 DaiRef ( always )
02:12 RMankey Sandshrew began to throw these stars with unrelenting force. It was a new technique, and it was already tossing away against this burst of water!
02:13 RMankey Alas, its efforts were for naught, as Zuzu pushed it to rest before it could send another attack.
02:13 RMankey *ko*
02:14 RMankey Cornerstone M 0/20 HP {+1 def} VS Zuzu M 45/45 HP
02:17 RMankey Sunon could only foresee the day Cornerstone's antics would bring its demise. Sturdy fighter, sure, but not enough for foes of this size. Sunon walked towards this creature, and saw it was clearly in no condition to fight. "It works, I admit. Sometimes." and *returned* Cornerstone.
02:17 RMankey *whoosh*
02:17 DaiRef Leith stared at the sandshrew with a smirk on his face. "Heh, not bad... however, it was rather a pathetic display of leading the pokemon. Why won't it trust you hmmm?-" Leith looked at Sunon directly into his eyes, and at that moment that's when it happened... Zuzu began to glow quickly from fainted pokemon, and it's form began to change.
02:17 DaiRef Zuzu began to grow in size and bulk, and then.... *DING*
02:17 RMankey *whoosh*
02:17 RMankey "W-woah!"
02:18 DaiRef
02:18 RMankey ??? VS Zuzu M 60/60 HP
02:20 DaiRef Leith crossed his arms and then looked at his jewel of a pokemon. "See? This is the result of trust and proper training..." He stated sticking his nose a little too high. "Of course, your sandshrew does have the power, how will you control it's actions?" He wondered about troubled pokemon like that, typically that behavior came from some form of human
02:20 DaiRef interaction of some kind.
02:22 RMankey This was a moment of awe for Sunon, to see the beauty of Pokemon Evolution with his own eyes. It was a spectacle unlike any other he'd seen before, a creature changing forme from not just training, but /control/. "I...I see now" the trainer admitted, eyes away from this great beast.
02:24 RMankey "...of course, this session isn't over yet," Sunon exclaimed, and at once brought out a very new Pokemon. He eyed it closely, but without force, and asked within its Poke Ball: "This, Thara, is an introduction to Pokemon Battling."
02:25 RMankey With that he *sent* his Pokemon, one which had so little experience, it landed roses-first. This error Thara thought about, and decided not to make again.
02:25 RMankey Thara F 20/20 HP VS Zuzu M 60/60 HP
02:26 DaiRef "Hmph...I'm afraid to do this to you, however..." He pointed at the small Roselia and smirked. "I fight with all of my energy, so you better do the same!" He stated looking into Sunon's eyes with intensity.
02:27 RMankey "I probably shouldn't," Sunon thought to himself, but what came from his mouth: "Thara! Show 'em what you know!" And Thara willingly used *Absorb* on the great Zuzu, seeing far greater dangers than the Swampert!
02:27 RMankey it...
02:27 DaiRef "Earthquake"!
02:27 RMankey "Thara! Jump!"
02:27 RMankey ...
02:27 RMankey *quelch* *RRRRRRUMBLE*
02:28 RMankey There was a collision that shook the ground and caused a Pineco, which was once relaxing in a tree, to awaken from its slumber!
02:29 RMankey *RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
02:30 RMankey Not. Even. Close. Thara made its best attempt, and at the moment of connection...was sent flying back into Sunon's general direction. He took the time to *catch* Roselia in its fall, but it mattered not, as the attack was a clean
02:30 RMankey *KO*
02:33 RMankey "Thara...you tried! And it was a good attempt, I will remark," Thara was impressed by the trainer, but it understood one thing: this Pokemon wasn't a joke. Sunon *returned* Thara to her ball shortly after the Quake.
02:34 RMankey Sunon was less concerned with the Earthquake than the Pineco that was rolling its way towards Zuzu. "Woah, look out!" Sunon exclaimed, and with that Pineco glowed red...
02:36 DaiRef Leith turned his head towards the Pineco. "H-huh?" He looked at it curiously. "Ugh....what's up with wild pokemon always showing up at the wrong times?" He stated with his eyes glaring at the pineco.
02:36 RMankey Pineco prepared a Selfdestruct!
02:36 RMankey It...
02:36 DaiRef "Hydro punp!"
02:36 RMankey "No-!"
02:37 RMankey Sunon *sent* a Pokemon he didn't anticipate sending out!
02:37 RMankey *bof*
02:37 RMankey *slam*
02:37 DaiRef Leith covered himself from the move, allowing for Zuzu to take the brunt of the damage if it failed. He trusted the blue pokemon.
02:37 RMankey Selfdestruct was used! But it collided with Hydro Pump...
02:38 RMankey *BURST* *WHOOOOOOOSH*
02:38 RMankey Pineco's anger came to a crisp end when Hydro Pump sent shrapnel flying all over the air!
02:39 RMankey *ko*
02:39 RMankey ( +2 for both wild Pokemon, btw )
02:39 RMankey ...but none of it was lethal.
02:39 DaiRef ( wait what there were two pineco? )
02:39 RMankey ( both defeated Pokemon, I mean )
02:40 DaiRef ( oh ok )
02:40 RMankey ( you fought roselia and didn't clarify exp )
02:40 DaiRef ( oh I already put it in )
02:40 DaiRef ( hammer arm holla )
02:41 RMankey It was at this point Castform decided to make an appearance, in the wake of an explosion. It stood unfazed by the giant, with an incredibly simple smile that's impossible to anger at.
02:42 RMankey Castform M 20/20 HP VS Zuzu M 60/60 HP
02:43 DaiRef "Oh...we're continuing huh?" Leith looked at the small ball of happiness and smirked. "Alright then...." He stretched his arms behind his body and then placed his hands back in his pockets. "Back to the main attraction."
02:44 RMankey "Well, with all distractions out of the way," Sunon claimed, "it's time to continue. My friend!" Castform responded from afar, "prepare for an attack!"
02:44 RMankey Castform responded from afar, to which Sunon continued, "prepare for an attack!"
02:45 RMankey ( that needed to be fixed, as it looked awful )
02:45 DaiRef Leith grabbed his pokedex out from his pocket, observing the moves that were scanned from the high tech device. "Hmmm...I haven't used the attack function in awhile hmmm?" He then spotted a handy move and then looked back at Sunon...
02:45 DaiRef "Hammer Arm, Zuzu!" He shouted.
02:45 RMankey Castform had its sights set on Zuzu...
02:46 RMankey "Now, Water Gun!"
02:46 DaiRef "Breakthrough it!"
02:46 RMankey Castform launched a stream of water...
02:46 RMankey ...and Swampert, with its huge arms, failed to break through! *whoooooosh*
02:47 RMankey Castform M 20/20 HP VS Zuzu M 52/60 HP
02:47 RMankey "Very good!" Castform felt /ready/ for the next command!
02:48 DaiRef "Heh..." Zuzu still hung in there strong, the blast of water sent it back around 5 or 6 feet, but it still stood it's ground as it's legs were planted into the ground.
02:48 DaiRef "I see what you're trying to do..."
02:48 DaiRef "Planning for my next move. Smart... however..."
02:48 RMankey "...you sure?"
02:48 DaiRef "Jump Swampert!"
02:48 RMankey "Jump as well!"
02:48 DaiRef "Now slam down on it with *HAMMER* *ARM*!"
02:48 RMankey "Prepare a Headbutt!"
02:49 DaiRef ( this just got kind of intense with both pokemon in the air )
02:49 RMankey Castform ran into Swampert, head-first! But Swampert came, arms in the sky, ready to bust a head!
02:49 RMankey *SLAM*
02:50 RMankey In the wake of chaos, Sunon could only whisper, "...shit." to himself. Sending your head against a fist? Why would that do any good? That's asking for a fallen Pokemon!
02:50 RMankey ...or was it? *smack*
02:51 RMankey ...Castform could barely prevail over Zuzu, if only because of its finesse! It didn't manage to hit Zuzu critically, however...
02:52 RMankey Castform M 20/20 HP VS Zuzu M 38/60 HP
02:52 DaiRef "Zuzu, keep jumping! Slam it hard in the ground with hammer arm!"
02:52 RMankey "...I should watch myself, but well-placed!" Sunon was getting amped up for this battle, his arms at his sides, and preparing to do something great!
02:52 RMankey "Sidestep away!"
02:53 RMankey ...
02:53 RMankey *SMASH*
02:53 RMankey Swampert put a mighty dent into the sand! But no Castform was found...
02:54 RMankey "Now, get him to chill!" *Powder Snow* was used...
02:54 DaiRef "Hydro pump!"
02:54 RMankey it...
02:54 RMankey *freeze*
02:54 RMankey There was a collision once again!
02:54 RMankey *click*
02:55 RMankey *FREEZE*
02:55 RMankey Castform prepared a perfect concoction for a Pokemon like Swampert: a taste of its own Hydro Pump, which froze the poor Shellfish Pokemon! Castform was getting very peppy!
02:56 RMankey Castform M 20/20 HP VS Zuzu M 34/60 HP {FRZ 2}
02:56 DaiRef "No way..." Leith began to sweat in frustration. This was definitely not what he was expecting. "Tch, come on...break out o it with hammer arm Swampert!"
02:56 RMankey ...Swampert was frozen!
02:57 RMankey "Take it out with Headbutt, while it's encased in ice!"
02:57 RMankey Headbutt...
02:57 RMankey *click*
02:57 DaiRef "Come on Swampert, break free!" He shouted.
02:57 RMankey Far from a fatal attack, but it still made Swampert move backwards...
02:58 RMankey Castform M 20/20 HP VS Zuzu M 27/60 HP {FRZ 1}
02:58 DaiRef "Come on...hammer arm!"
02:58 RMankey "Maybe...maybe I can get it to flinch? Try a Headbutt again!"
02:58 RMankey Castform used Headbutt...
02:58 RMankey *click*
02:58 RMankey *CRACK*
02:59 RMankey ...Zuzu was released, but flinch it did not. It stood, ready for combat.
02:59 RMankey Castform M 20/20 HP VS Zuzu M 20/60 HP
02:59 DaiRef "Alright let's go one more time Zuzu...slam it down with hammer arm!"
02:59 RMankey Sunon thought about his opti-nope
02:59 RMankey "Sidestep! Go!"
02:59 RMankey Hammer Arm...
03:00 DaiRef "Don't let it get away this time!" He shouted.
03:01 RMankey ...it was a moment too late for the young traveler. being caught by the tail and brought down by sheer force. It did not go down frowning, however...
03:01 RMankey choosing to stay positive, almost infinitely so.
03:01 RMankey *KO*
03:03 RMankey This was becoming quite treacherous for the new Trainer. A Pokemon Leith had never seen before, ready to clear whatever threats were ahead of it. For a second, he pondered mercy; that was the worst second of his life, he decided.
03:03 DaiRef Leith looked at Sunon curiously, not sure how many more pokemon this man had. But this was definitely worth the training for himself and for Sunon. Since this was a friendly battle, they didn't need to continue unless Sunon really wanted to. However, if Zuzu were to become defeated that would definitely be a reward for Sunon. Training pays well. "Well?"
03:05 RMankey "...huh," Sunon claimed, *returning* Castform to its ball. An inkling Pokemon, yet a wonderful fighter. "This is rough," Sunon claimed, brought back to memories moving soil and plants, "...but the same can be said of life."
03:06 RMankey "No way I stop here!" Sunon grabbed a choice Poke Ball, "Come on, Timurlane! I put my trust in you!"
03:07 RMankey *W-CHOP*
03:07 RMankey The Mighty Timurlane M 20/20 HP VS Zuzu M 20/60 HP
03:08 RMankey "Alright, Timurlane! Lead with Focus Energy!"
03:08 DaiRef ( also Zuzu's speed is lowered )
03:08 RMankey FE was used...
03:08 RMankey ( bingo )
03:08 RMankey The Mighty Timurlane M 20/20 HP VS Zuzu M 20/60 HP {-1 spe}
03:08 RMankey The Mighty Timurlane M 20/20 HP {FE} VS Zuzu M 20/60 HP {-1 spe}
03:09 DaiRef "You're in for it now you know.... all of the damage will now be your downfall..." Leith stated with a smirk.
03:10 RMankey Sunon was...baffled. His Pokemon took the blunt of the attack, but this statement was outright confusing to him. Damaging...Swampert? Huh?
03:10 DaiRef "The more you take out on my Zuzu, the more you will suffer..." Leith stated with a chuckle.
03:10 DaiRef "Now, let's start this off with whirlpool!" Leith snapped out.
03:10 RMankey "...Reversal?"
03:10 RMankey "No! Timurlane, slide away!"
03:10 RMankey Whirlpool...
03:11 RMankey ...definitely did not hit Timurlane, who was already behind Zuzu,
03:11 DaiRef "Bide!"
03:11 RMankey and it received its command! "Low kick!"
03:11 RMankey Bide was used...
03:12 RMankey But Low Kick...
03:12 RMankey *slam*
03:12 RMankey *Ba-SLAM*
03:12 RMankey *CRIT*
03:12 RMankey *KO*
03:14 RMankey Swampert stored energy, sure; it was not prepared for the massive pummeling Timurlane dealt to it. It aimed for the fins, and stopped Zuzu cold in its tracks.
03:15 DaiRef ( + 3 exp )
03:15 DaiRef ( Machop learned Vital Throw, Submission, Wake-Up Slap! )
03:17 RMankey Machop walked towards Zuzu, and stood no less than a foot away from the humongous axolotl. From there, it unleashed a great bellow, almost causing the sand beneath Zuzu to collapse. "Timurlane," Sunon exclaimed, baffled even more, "You...you've went and done it."
03:17 DaiRef "Heh...." Leith decided to *switch* for *Tata*. The bird appeared from it's pokeball with a graceful landing on the ground and stare with keen eyes into machop's. It spread out it's wings and it prepared for the worst.
03:19 RMankey *whap*
03:19 RMankey Timurlane M 20/20 HP {FE - O} VS Tata F 45/45 HP
03:20 RMankey "Now, Timurlane...take aim. This will be an uphill battle."
03:20 DaiRef "Focus energy!" Leith quickly snapped out.
03:20 RMankey Foresight was used...
03:20 RMankey Focus Energy was used...
03:20 RMankey Timurlane M 20/20 HP {FE, FS} VS Tata F 45/45 HP {FE}
03:21 DaiRef "Now...aerial ace!"
03:21 RMankey "And strike this swallow with all the force your great muscles can handle! Aim your Wake-Up Slap!"
03:21 RMankey ...
03:21 RMankey *slap* *slap*
03:21 RMankey The attacks collided!
03:22 RMankey *KCHAW* *SLAP*
03:22 RMankey *SLAP*
03:22 RMankey *SLAP*
03:22 RMankey *CRIT*
03:22 RMankey "That was an actual move?"
03:23 RMankey Sunon, oblivious to the fact Timurlane understood this mystical command, was now aware of just how strongly a Wake-Up Slap damages even flying opponents.
03:25 RMankey Timurlane M 20/20 HP {FE, FS} VS Tata F 33/45 HP {FE}
03:25 DaiRef "Come on Tata...Now...strike with *air* *slash*! You are far stronger than that!" Leith yelled out. "Keep your distance!"
03:25 RMankey "Timurlane...struggle!"
03:25 RMankey Air Slash...
03:25 RMankey *dink* was shrugged off with Timurlane's fist!
03:26 RMankey Timurlane M 19/20 HP {FE, FS} VS Tata F 45/45 HP {FE}
03:26 DaiRef ( Tata doesn't have 45 HP )
03:26 RMankey ( ah wait why oops )
03:26 RMankey Timurlane M 19/20 HP {FE, FS} VS Tata F 33/45 HP {FE}
03:27 DaiRef "Air slash again! Keep your will power up!" He shouted out to bird pokemon. Leith knew that he couldn't keep blocking the moves forever.
03:27 RMankey "Now, break through it with Low Sweep!"
03:27 RMankey Timurlane...
03:27 RMankey ...barely dispersed the Special Low Sweep!
03:28 RMankey ...*slam*
03:29 RMankey Timurlane barely hurdled over Tata to deliver this Low Sweep! The bird tumbled towards the sand now, feeling the potency of a *crit* Low Sweep!
03:30 RMankey Timurlane M 19/20 HP {FE, FS} VS Tata F 19/45 HP {-1 spe, FE}
03:30 DaiRef "Agility!" Leith commanded the bird pokemon, was he really losing to this guy? How was this even possible? Leith was starting to sweat even harder, standing his ground.
03:31 RMankey Agility was used...
03:31 RMankey "Timurlane, stand still!" It...did
03:32 RMankey Timurlane M 19/20 HP {FE, FS} VS Tata F 19/45 HP {+1 spe, FE}
03:32 DaiRef "Double team! Multiply!!"
03:32 RMankey It used Double Team...
03:32 RMankey "Don't let it get to you! Jump, and aim low!"
03:33 RMankey *low kick* was used!
03:33 DaiRef "Air slash!"
03:33 RMankey Timurlane M 19/20 HP {FE, FS} VS Tata F 19/45 HP {+1 spe, +2 eva, FE}
03:33 RMankey ...*slam*
03:33 RMankey Just another collision~
03:33 DaiRef ( double team increases evasion by 1 )
03:34 RMankey ( I keep forgetting this! )
03:35 RMankey Timurlane M 19/20 HP {FE, FS} VS Tata F 19/45 HP {+1 spe, +1 eva, FE}
03:36 RMankey ...at long, bloody last, Tata landed an attack. Its air slash was ready to chop, and it did...it chopped a palm tree in two. *SLAM*
03:36 RMankey *CRIT*
03:37 RMankey Alas, it took a great force from the air to disperse such a move, and here he was...Timurlane.
03:38 RMankey Timurlane M 19/20 HP {FE, FS} VS Tata F 5/45 HP {+1 spe, +1 eva, FE}
03:39 DaiRef "ARGH! Use air slash one more time!" Leith was frustrated now.
03:39 RMankey Sunon took a good look at Leith, and back at the bird Pokemon, and back to Timurlane in a circle. "I feel you should roost," he claimed. "Here, Timurlane, return." *return* Timurlane
03:40 RMankey ...Air Slash...
03:40 RMankey ...missed its mark!
03:41 RMankey "I still have one Pokemon that can use training." Hama shuddered somewhat within its ball, but it stopped as soon as Sunon *sent* it.
03:41 RMankey *bof*
03:41 RMankey Hama /f/ 20/20 HP VS Tata F 5/45 HP {+1 spe, +1 eva, FE}
03:41 DaiRef " Very well... Double team Tata!" He commanded.
03:42 RMankey Sunon was not entirely sure of how birds worked, but he believed this Pokemon could sit down to restore their condition.
03:42 RMankey Double Team was used...
03:42 DaiRef ( Swellow doesn't know roost )
03:42 RMankey Hama /f/ 20/20 HP VS Tata F 5/45 HP {+1 spe, +2 eva, FE}
03:42 DaiRef "Now use endeavor!"
03:43 RMankey "oh, Hama, Struggle it off!"
03:43 RMankey Endeavor...
03:43 RMankey *smack*
03:43 RMankey ...too late, as Hama now took the blunt of the endeavor, feeling the absurdity of Tata's situation.
03:44 RMankey Hama /f/ 5/20 HP VS Tata F 5/45 HP {+1 spe, +2 eva, FE}
03:44 DaiRef "Now...air slash!"
03:44 RMankey "No-! Hama, hit it with electricity!"
03:44 RMankey Air Slash...
03:44 RMankey Thundersho-*bzzt*
03:44 RMankey *crash*
03:45 RMankey You guessed it: collision!
03:45 RMankey "Let no edge of the wind deceive you, Hama! The match is yours!"
03:46 DaiRef "Tata, come on girl!" He shouted as he stood still, trusting in the bird to do it's job.
03:47 RMankey The match quickly took to the skies, with Tata pulling away from the current Hama created. Hama's electricity trailed Tata to the sky, and until the two met the horizon, there were two Pokemon in the sky.
03:48 RMankey ...the winner cackled in thin air.
03:48 RMankey and the winner hadn't a need in the world to breathe.
03:48 RMankey *KO*
03:51 RMankey Sunon watched this entire dogfight, top to bottom, and what shocked him wasn't the fact that a bird hit dead-center, but how ruthless Hama was in her chase of the bird, right to the last jolt. Such energy wasn't expected from Sunon's Pokemon...at all.
03:52 DaiRef ( +2 exp Magnemite learned Spark and Mirror Shot! )
03:54 DaiRef Leith recalled Swellow before it hit the ground and he sighed in frustration. Was he seriously losing to these smaller fights too? He had some serious training to do, but it was worth the fight. He looked at Sunon and shrugged. "Heh, good go... but next time it'll be a different outcome..." Leith started to head back towards Mauville City in disappointment
03:54 DaiRef and satisfaction at the same time. "How are you feeling after that?" He asked him.
04:00 RMankey Sunon was, above all, amazed by the effort put into the fight by his Pokemon. Every attack, even those he knew nothing about, came with absurd levels of Power. Timurlane, especially, kept Leith in checkmate with its...magic. "That was a good fight, and a heck of a refresher," Sunon claimed, looking at the road behind him, "...but I should be much more
04:01 RMankey cautious. Much, much more cautious." Sunon thought about what the match would've looked like if the shifter failed to land a headbutt, or if Timurlane missed any one of its powerful attacks, and saw a well-deserved loss.
