Bulbasaur Beginner Trainer Battle: Balmund vs. Yuki.N

This was one of the more unstable arenas available to battle on, but two brave souls had decided that Cascadia's Geyser Park was ideal for them. Mt Aduro stood tall it very peak entering the clouds of the bright spring sky. Its dark soils were warm from the volcano that sat upon and it was home to some strong wild fire Pokemon. It was a short trek up a steep path to reach the arena, a 100 x 100 meter area of flat dark volcanic soils with several geysers dotted around. They look relatively innocent until the ground around them trembles and a blast of hot water is ejected from the earth raining down on those near it.

The two trainers make their way up to the arena talking happily amongst themselves as they catch up and spot the referee standing in a safe spot in the distance.

"Welcome to you both, let have us a good safe battle keep injuries to Pokemon and people to a minimum. For safety reasons you cannot enter the arena past your trainer boxes at any time. Now lets go over the usual rules".
Balmund vs. Yuki.N
Beginner Trainer Battle (Pokemon from Lv’s 01-25 used only)
1 on 1
72 Hr DQ Period
Arena: Cascadia’s Geyser Park: On the slopes of Mt. Aduro of the Cascadia island chain is a 100 x 100 meter area of dark, volcanic soil where every once in a while a geyser will erupt. The geysers shoot up with heights varying from 10 feet to almost 50 feet, and if a Pokémon is struck by one of them they will take good damage and will likely be scalded or burned from the boiling water. A geyser will erupt roughly every 2 minutes, leaving it up to chance whether a Pokémon will be struck or not…
She allowed them time to prepare themselves whist retrieving a coin from her pocket. She assigned Balmund to Heads and Yuki.N to Tails and gave it a quick flip: "Tails".
Once she was sure they understood the rules she went through the order of play:
– I need PM’s from both of you including your Pokemon, their stats, any healing items being declared, and your attacks for the first round (I am happy with up to 3 being used per round)
- I will then ref the first round.
- Yuki.N will then order their attacks for the next round.
- Balmund then orders their attacks.
- I ref the round, and the next round attack orders switch and so on and so forth till we have a winner!
“Better be careful where we step, for the ground itself is ready to explode!”

Personality/Misc. Info: A tad withdrawn, but courageous and ambitious. She tends to keep her thoughts to herself and prefers to wander off alone than to be in company of others. A fiery spirit lies within her, and there's not a thing in the world than can dissuade her from achieving her goal once she sets her mind on it.

Bio: Kerrigan's a unique addition to Balmund's squad. A completely new species, little is known about her origins, nor about her potential. Though she has accepted becoming a part of Balmund's family, she doesn't fully trust her companions; thinking them to be a loud and wierd bunch for the most part. They're mostly nice to her, with the exception of Chris who has taken upon herself to make her life as hellish as possible. One day she'll grow strong enough to pay her back in spades, but for now she patiently bides her time.


Few trainers dared fight on Cascadia's dangerously unstable Geyser Park, and much less with relatively inexperienced Pokémon. Kerrigan wasn't afraid however; the small glow worm carefully inspecting this new environment atop Balmund's shoulder as he trekked his way to the designated spot. Though still relatively inexperienced, she had trained along with the best from Balmund's squad and she felt ready for anything. Chris in particular was especially mean and merciless when it came to sparring time, but rather than breaking the poor Spelarva's spirit, the Seviper only managed to strengthen her resolve even further.

Along with Balmund, Jessica walked along the steep path to the arena. Even though they were both shy and quiet in nature, they got to exchange some happy chit chat until they spot their ref already waiting for them. Quickly getting into the safety zone Balmund gets ready for battle as Kerrigan gets off and into position.

He quickly salutes the brave and dedicated referee before addressing his opponent.

"This'll be fun! Good luck, Jess!"

"...Alright Kerrigan, let's do this! Start off with a Double Team and pump yourself with your Tail Glow. We'll then shake this arena up with your Earth Power. Interesting things should happen."

The warm earth sighed under her feet. Jessica swiped a bead of sweat from her brow as she appreciated the arena. A square of volcanic soil, dark as a deep sunset, pockmarked by what seemed like hundreds of craters. The gaping mouths belied their true intent - not to swallow, but to expel. For the moment the geysers were calm, and were it not for the young woman waiting to greet, Jess might have imagined she'd landed on Mars. (Although who was to say she was not an alien in disguise?)

As she was about to take a small step for monkind, the ground began to excite, and a fierce tower of water erupted from the nearest hollow. Fortunately she was still restricted to the perimeter where its tears could not precipitate, and the most impressive firerockets fizzled before they even touched down. However, she felt the blast of the afterburn wash over her, and shuddered despite the heat. Perhaps it had not been such a good idea to choose such a dangerous setting for young Pip's first battle. While the lil blue penguin had an affinity for water Jess knew she was still unskilled at swimming, and so had agreed to a place that felt moist but not flooded. However, the sight of the cascade's true command up close dampened her confidence. It seemed too late to renege now though.

Catching up to the woman, Jess listened restlessly as she explained the rules and precautions, which did little to ease the girl's anxiety. Bidding goodbye and good luck to her opponent, Jessica nervously made her way to her assigned box, a sturdy structure that would surely provide safe haven from heaven's rain of fire. As she released her Piplup, the baby water bird's innocent gaze made the girl want to hold her tight and not let her set one flipper outside the box's protection.

"Plup?" The penguin questioned her trainer's embrace. Peering over the girl's shoulder, her eyes widened as another show of fireworks and fountains loomed across the sky. She gurgled and clapped in awe, straining to touch the sparkling diamonds falling to the earth. Jessica set the squirming penguin down, maintaining a firm hold as she stared Pip sternly in the eye and shook her head.

"Listen to me, Pip. This isn't like a water park. If you get caught in one of those geysers, it'll hurt a lot. You hear me? The water's very, very hot." She took a deep breath. "Remember when the float burst into flames?"

Pippa stopped struggling then. She hesitated, then nodded.

"You don't have to go through with this if you don't want. We can go home now."

A lengthy pause. Finally, Pippa fixed her trainer with a look of fierce determination, so strong and becoming it almost startled Jess. She hadn't realized it until now, but her little darling had grown a bit during her absence, a fact which slightly saddened her both for having missed, and that perhaps it was in part due to her missing. Pippa sensed the girl's guilt and smiled softly, gently reaching up a fin to wipe a tear from mama's eye. Big brother had looked after her while their trainer was away and taught her to stand tall, but Jess would always be her support. She stretched on tiptoe to give the girl a warm peck. She wanted to pay back that kindness now by proving she could take care of herself. Jessica didn't need to worry so much; she was a big, brave girl now.

Jess seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled. "All right, you win. But please promise me you'll be careful, okay?" Pippa chirped positively. "Good luck then, dear, and have fun." Jess gave her another quick hug before reluctantly sending her off, watching with mixed pride and apprehension as her baby waddle out to the field.

"Start by trying to CHARM the opponent. Then use RAIN DANCE, followed by WATER PULSE!"

Both trainers have a sense of nervous tension about them but look eager to test their Pokemon's strength against each other. The terrain wasn't very stable or safe but both attentatively listened to the safety rules and appeared to understand everything spoken. They both wished each other luck and took their places in the marked out trainer boxes. The ground here was harder than the soft soil of the arena and felt like it wouldn't be affected by any tremors. There were no geysers near the trainers which was also a safety measure of this arena. The referee stood in a similar box to the side of the arena right in the middle so she could observe the match and intervene if necessary.

Balmund had chosen a rare Pokemon to battle for him today, a Sperlava. She was so rare she was the only one of its kinds to ever be seen. Even the referee was awed by her and broke characted pulling out her indigo Pokedex to record the find whilst she could. This little bug was called Kerrigan and looked determined despite her small size to win this battle. She has been prepared for the match and had trainer very hard with her team-mates. She wriggles her way of Balmund's shoulder and into the arena taking her place.

Jess had chosen a more commonly seen Pokemon but still a rarity around these parts. Her young Piplup was enamoured by the gushing geysers longing to touch them but as quickly reminded of the damagers they caused by her trainer. Pippa too looked as determined as the Sperlava and managed to ignore the geysers long enough to concentrate on her opponent. She waddles forward across the soft soils to take her place. Once the referee saw that everyone was ready she raised her flag and the match began!

Both Pokemon had similar speeds so moved simultaneously. Kerrigan begins to move quickly despite her lack of limbs back and forth creating 2 copies of herself with her Double Team. Pippa spots this but it won't affect her attack. She bats her eyelashes at Kerrigan and attempts to Charm her into submission. Kerrigan notices how cute the little Piplup was and felt all eagerness to attack her dissipate.

Her next orders aren't to attack though and she powers up her Tail making it Glow boosting her special attacks. Pippa smiles at her success and moves onto her next move, calling on the rain! She begins an intricate dance whilst glowing a light blue. Her Rain Dance begins to take effect and although they were on a volcano the environment was humid, good enough for the rain clouds to start to fill the sky. A few spots of light drizzle begin to fall and soon the rain will fall in bucket fulls.

Kerrigan feels the spots of water falls on her skin and thinks the sight of the little Piplup dancing is just beautiful. Totally taken by Pippa she just sits there leaving her a sitting duck. Pippa is now ready to attack and charges up a pale aqua sphere before her lips. She fires the Water Pulse towards Kerrigan, the ball exploding on contact making her squeal in pain, she managed to hit the real Sperlava. The super effective move causing a lot of pain. Kerrigan begins to realise that she was taken for a ride by the Piplup and feels her anger rise. She narrows her eyes and using her Ground energies pumps it into the ground. Pippa looks rather nervous at the pissed off Sperlava and at the ground beginning to move beneath her feet. She cries out as bursts of Earth Power's energy shoot up catching her off guard and knocking her over. The disruption of the earth causes it to rumble again as two geysers start to fill with water. Both trainers look over nervously wondering what would erupt and hope it was not near their Pokemon. The two geysers shoot off and Kerrigan shreiks in agony as one was right next to her sending her flying back into Balmund smoking from the hot water over her skin. Pippa was lucky to be well away from the other one as it erupted. Kerrigan was lucky to get away without a burn!

Breath liberated from Jess's lips as she saw Pip had managed to avoid a scalding bath, though the same could not be said for the poor Spelarva. Casting her eyes up to the rainy heavens, she prayed for their luck to carry before issuing her next commands.

"Try to MIMIC the EARTH POWER. Who knows, it may come in handy later. Boost your long-term AGILITY, then fire a widespread SWIFT to try and dispel the clones."

That didn't work quite as expected Balmund expected! He knew the risks he was taking with such a move though. Perhaps lady luck would favor him in the later rounds.

"Alright Kerrigan! Hinder that Piplup's movements with your String Shot, and then handicap her further with a well placed Mud Bomb. We'll then shake this volcano even more with another Earth Power!"

The last order was a bit of a double-edged sword, but this isn't a time to be afraid. His opponent was just as suceptible to the whims of the arena as he was, and he was counting on the tides to turn on his favor sooner than later.

Round 2

Well that sure was an explosive first round and Kerrigan was the one to suffer for it. Her Earth Power had disrupted the geysers enough to make them explode scalding her with hot water. Pippa was fortunate to be far enough away and had decided that they didn't look very pleasant at all. She would definitely not play with those! Jess was happy with how the first round had gone and hoped to continue with her lucky streak whereas Balmund appeared to be testing the lady and hoped that this time she would favour him.

Pippa has her orders and as Kerrigan regains her position trying to shake off the unexpected shot, the little Piplup Mimics her last move learning Earth Power. That could come in handy in future rounds. Kerrigan has wriggled back into the fray along with her 2 clones who all appeared to be literally steaming still. It was time to get back into the action and she spits out a String Shot the thick gooey webbing catching Pippa's midriff and sticking her flippers to her sides. She squeeks in alarm and backs away slowly making the rest of the string hit the ground in a sticky line. It had served its purpose those, Pippa was well and truly stuck up and she struggles to free her wings.

She is ordered to work on her Agility for the long term which is a good thing, had she needed it to dodge she may have tripped over in her haste. She buckles down and concentrates hard feeling her limbs becoming lighter, more flexible, her muscles loosing allowing her speed to be increased for the rest of the battle. Kerrigan is not pleased with this and decides to go on the offensive. She gathers a ball of mud in front of her and hurls it towards Pippa who opens her eyes in time to receive the Mud Shot right in her face. She is knocked to the ground and lies there unable to get back up. She can't wipe all the mud from her face as her wings are tied up so her accuracy takes a battering. She rolls back and forth trying to get up but manages only to sit up looking back and forth for her target. She knows she needs to attack now but can't see the Sperlava in order to do so. She take an educated guess remembering where the Mud Bomb came from and lets loose a flurry of Swift stars that actually hit their target! That was more luck for the Penguin and less for the bug as the Sperlava winces from the attack and loses her clones.

Shrugging off her bad luck she realises that Pippa is a sitting duck and ripe for another ground assault. She grins as she pumps more ground energy into the earth and watches as it snakes towards their target. The earth quivers and Pippa feels it tremble beneath her looking panicked as she know she couldn't move. She closes her eyes and braces herself as the Earth Power hits her again throwing her into the air landing back on her front shuddering in pain.

The round begins to quake again upset by all the energies being driven into it and two more geysers prepare to fire. Both trainers look on nervously but as the two geysers erupt far from both Pokemon they let loose a sigh of relief.

Success, that managed to even the field a little bit. The question now was how to follow up. Balmund had a crazy thought and decided to go all in by pushing his luck to the max.

"You're really a brave one Kerrigan. Now I need you to really shake things up here. Go for an Earth Power, not once, not twice, but three times."

Fireworks. Next round there would certainly be plenty of fireworks.

Altaria

Out of the blue, a 9-year-old girl ran onto the arena and tackled Jessica in a flying hug.

"HI SIS~!"

"Oof! Daisy? What are you doing here?" Confused, Jess tentatively but warmly returned the gesture, then placed a hand to try and pacify the brimming bundle of excitement. Compared to the normally mild-mannered and softspoken teen, this overwhemingly cheerful child was like a firecracker; an explosion of outward expression. Anyone viewing the scene would either find it difficult to believe the two were related, or understand completely.

Jess soothed the blustery hair of the girl, who almost buzzed audibly with content. Bright apparel plus a tiny frame made her resemble a small, colorful hummingbird. Her entire being posited good vibrations. While her smile proved infectious to anyone within radius, it was rare for the older girl to respond to direct engagement in such a familiar manner. The display of close contact demonstrated Jessica's deep affection, if not true kinship towards her sibling. "If you want to play, can we do so later? I'm kinda in the middle of a match right now." She spoke with genuine regret.

Daisy giggled and chirped in response. “I know! I’m here to cheer you on!”

“Aw, that’s so sweet. Thank you.” Jess beamed and ruffled her devoted fan’s hair into a bird’s nest again. Daisy grinned and glanced out over the field, wide eyes reminiscent of a baby penguin just minutes before.

“Ooh, this looks like fun! Can I try?” Somewhat artless, but the request was sincere nonetheless. Jess couldn’t bring herself to say no to such innocent naďveté.

“All right, wait here a bit,” she chuckled slightly as she hailed the ref and her opponent for a timeout. After explaining the situation, they all agreed to humor the 9-year-old for an extent. Returning to her restless little sister’s side, Jess glanced once more at the judge for confirmation, who gave her the okay with a furtive wink.

“Goodie~” Daisy bounced to the forefront, poised to give commands like a real experienced trainer. A beat. She turned to her sister and cocked her head, rubbing the back of it sheepishly.

“Um… What attacks does Piplup know?”

“Well, she just learned EARTH POWER…”

“Okay, got it!”

Without waiting for Jess to finish, Daisy blurted out the first “suggestion” given to her.

“By the POWERs of EARTH, EARTH, and EARTH combined… We are Captain Funk!”

Wuh oh.

Round 3

The battle had evened itself out with Kerrigan dealing the damage and getting Piplup in a tangled mess. She was lucky this time round as both Pokemon avoided getting doused by the extremely hot jets from the geysers. Whether the luck would continue would remain to be seen but it appeared that Balmund was going to push it with his next orders that had the referee rather nervous. If he kept disturbing the earth the way they were the whole arena could erupt! In a maddening scene too Jess appeared to have been overcome by a bout of insanity and started talking as if she was someone else. She appeared more perky and upbeat and gave her orders to Piplup. The referee was at her wits ends as she hears the orders and quickly released a Hypno by her side briefing him on what was about to occur. She had a very bad feeling this was not going to go well. Transulant screens appeared before all three humans on the arena as things took a turn for the worse ...

Kerrigan in a reapeat of the end of the last round begins to expend more of her ground energies pumping them into the earth. The ground around Pippa shimmies and shakes again before she can quite right herself and she screams as the Earth Power strikes her again. Everyone looks at the geysers nervously as the earth continues it rumbling. Pippa manages to just about get to her feet and the strings around her body had loosened slightly from the blows she had been taking. She concentrated hard using her new technique and copying Kerrigans movements executes an Earth Power. Kerrigan grunts in pain as the eruption of energy strikes her from underneath, it was lucky she was resistant to the energy but it still stung. The geysers start bubbling furiously and 2 more erupt near the referee, her Hypno directing the water away from her. Fortunately both Pokemon were spared but for how long?

Kerrigan was already moving and expending more Ground energy to charge the Earth ready for it to erupt under Pippa with its Power. Pippa knocked over again as the attack takes the wind out of her sails but loosens the string around her allowing her to move freely. The ground quivers and 2 more geysers erupt again far from the occupants of the battlefield. Shaking off her pain Pippa picks herself up, a little shaken ... no that was the ground still trembling beneath her. It seemed like a bad idea but she used another Earth Power feeling her ground energies dwindle to near depletion. Kerrigan is knocked back towards her trainer and looks a little panicked as the ground really begins to move with 4 geysers firing this time. Pippa screams in agony as one goes off right next to her sending her careening along the ground. Jess looks on in worry but she appears to not be burnt, smoking but not burnt.

Kerrigan is also looking a little worried at the thought of disturbing the ground again but she has to follow her trainers orders and uses her last Earth Power leaving her short on ground energies. Pippa is slammed from beneath still lying flat on the hot soils and just lands with a plop. The referee looks over from her spot but can see she is still conscious. The ground is really quaking and 4 more geysers erupt and Pippa can only watch and as she is surrounded by the she is thankful they're afar enough way not to damage her. Kerrigan on the other hand is seen as a dot in the sky as one throws her up into the air. Balmund looks on in horror as it looks like she was about to be thrown down the mountain but a pink glow surrounds her moving back into the arena and dropping her onto the ground. The Hypno grunts as he finishes he save, it was definitely as bad as his trainer predicted.

"Leaving the arena was beyond Sperlava's control, the battle will continue" the ref calls out loudly over the noise of active geysers. Balmund looks down at his little bug spotting a red raw burn on her skin. She looks to be in a lot of pain. Pippa has gotten back to her feet and closes her eyes before expending the last of her ground energies in a last (thankfully) Earth Power that throws Kerrigan into Balmund's arms. looking a little battered. He puts her back in the arena and the more geysers join those already exploding with water so nearly all the arena is becoming soaked by the water along with the Rain Dance from the cloudy sky. The arena was becoming boggy and the geysers would calm down soon but it would take another round before they do and manoeuvring around them would be difficult!

"Is it over?"

Jessica ventured a cautious peek through the cracks between her fingers. The sight of Pippa, bruised but thankfully not burnt, both dismayed and relieved her. Visibly shaking herself from the aftershock, she failed to notice the ref and her opponent casting her concerned looks. Like a metronome, she suddenly swayed on her feet, seemingly unable to keep steady. It was as if the ground were upsetting even more violently...

For an instant, the girl's eyes glazed over, becoming glass. Reflected in them were images of people, pandemonium, panic, and flames rising to the sky which was red, red, red...

A gentle tug on her sleeve, soft as down, pulled her out of her recall. She glanced down to see her sister gazing up with a mix of concern and question of guilt: Had she done something wrong?

Jessica calmed, and her eyes restored color. She smiled and bent down to give her sister a hug, telling her no, she had done great. She should probably go home now though, or Mom and Dad will be worried.

After she sent Daisy off, Jess turned to find both Stacey and Balmund staring at her intensely. Self-consciousness took hold, and she shuffled her feet in embarassment. Assuming their squints to be signs of guilty accusation for the damage she'd inadvently caused, she mentally promised to apologize after the match. ...Though come to think of it, they had been acting a bit curiously when she approached them earlier, meeting her request with long pause. Maintaining their distance, they barely even looked towards the small girl in question, almost seeming to regard her like some sort of foreign being. An alien, or perhaps a ghost.

Jessica shook her head and tried to shrug their behavior off as reluctance to bend the rules. Any impression of rudeness was probably just her imagination. Taking a deep breath, she straightened herself and called our her next orders:

"Hang in there, Pip. Let's form an AQUA RING, then BUBBLEBEAM followed by GYRO BALL."

Indeed stuff turned for the insane as Balmund saw the eruption-fest of geysers and earthly power, as well seeing his rival suddenly break down in character completely. If this was some tactic meant to send him into "wtf"-land then it was working to perfection. He would remember to try it out sometime and see if he can throw off some one else with that.

Kerrigan was having it a lot worse now as Balmund saw a very nasty burn on her skin, regret filling his face as he saw her go through such punishment. It would be an uphill battle from now on with this. It would've turned out even uglier if it the referee's Hypno's hadn't intervened, saving the small bug from falling to her doom, for which Balmund was very thankful. The Piplup seemed to look very battered too, and Balmund knew he still had a chance.

"I'm sorry Kerrigan, but I'm gonna ask you to bear with that pain for a bit. Focus your mind for battle with a Swords Dance, then proceed to FUS RO DAH! Blow Back her bubbles before Leeching the Life out of her body. You can do it!"

Round 4

Everyone looked shellshocked from the events of the last round and both Pokemon had suffered for it. Kerrigan had nearly gone flying off the mountain only to be saved by the referee's Pokemon. She had also been left with a nasty burn that would hurt her throughout the remainder of the match. Pippa had fare better but was concerned for her trainer who had ordered such a catastrophic set of attacks that had disturbed the entire mountain. The geysers continued to shoot out water into the air but the ground was slowing in its quakes down to a quiver now. Hopefully the geysers would cease their eruptions by the end of the round but for now the fighters would have to manoeuvre around them.

Jess was disconcerted by the looks the other trainers were giving her but she was not the only one to blame. Balmund had been the one to start all this, she had only tagged along for the ride. She shrugged off their stares and gave her orders. Pipps shot out a stream of water, expending a good deal of energy to do so. The water began to spiral around her and took on the form of an atom, 10 rings of Aqua Heal that would slowly replenis her health, a wise move. Kerrigan put her pain to the back of her mind and began to boost her Attack Power. She performed an intricate Swords Dance that looked elegant despite her lack of limbs.

Pippa walked gingerly around a geyser enough so she could at least see Kerrigan and let loose a stream of Bubblebeam towards her that was boosted by the rain falling. Kerrgan is prepared though and using a unique move called Blow-Back she exhales a gust of wind that sends the bubbles flying back and crashing into a geyser. Pippa frowns at the failure of her attack but is not deterred and she charged orbs of steel around her body. Using her Gyro Ball she begins to spin and head towards Kerrigan. She is clipped by one of the geysers that sends her veering off but she is very lucky that it sent her right towards Kerrigan sending them both rolling along the ground. Pippa had unfortunately lost 2 rings from the geyser but at least she had hit her target. Kerrigan rights herself before attacking right back clamping her small body around Pippa and Leeching the [b]Life out of her feeling her burn eat at some of the health she replaced. One of Pippa's rings returns to her restoring her health.

The water slows and begins to retreat into the geysers, at least the battlefield would be easier to manoeuvre now!

That had managed to net some satisfactory results, but Kerrigan was starting to look tired now, and taking into account her Burn as well as her opponent's healing rings it was just a matter of time before things started turning against them. The rain didn't help at all either. For now, it was best to keep up an offensive as fierce as possible to keep up an advantage. That was Balmund's way: when in doubt, keep throwing punches. Sometimes, all it takes is guts.

"Keep it up Kerrigan! Bite Pippa hard and keep Leeching her Life while you're at it. Then show her your horn is not just for show with your Horn Attack!" Balmund instructed, eagerly hoping for things to keep in his favor.

Jessica furrowed her brow as their attempt at a boosted bubble field blew up in their face. Upon hearing her opponent's intent for the next round, she braced herself and willed Pippa to do the same.

"All right, if he wants to play rough, let's give it to him. HYDRO PUMP his face when he gets close. Then use SUPERSONIC followed by YAWN."

Round 5

The last round had been more favourable to Kerrigan as she managed some effective counter moves and ended the round sucking the life out of the little penguin. Pippa had successfully utilised her Aqua Ring and it could turn out to be the move that secures their victory but both the Piplup and her trainer were not pleased that their attacks had mostly been diverted or dodged.

Before Pippa can utilise her water power Kerrigan attacks. She was already clamped around the little penguin so it took her no time at all to Bite down on her feathers making her squeal in pain and popping a ring. Kerrigan begins to siphon off more health with another Leech Life but Pippa was about to ruin that plan. She turns her head to face the bug that was firmly attached to her abdomen. She growls in pain and shoots forth a very powerful burst of Hydro Pump that dislodges the Sperlava easily and sends her flying across the arena skidding to halt in the wet soil.

Pippa rubs the bite marks on her skin wincing at the little line of blood forming there. She turns to face Kerrigan who had been sent careening a fair distance from her and opens her beak to let loose a piercing Supersonic. The arena is not favourable for this type of move being so open and the now heavy falling rain drowns out the sounds of the confusion-inducing move. Kerrigan is back upraight and begins to bounce towards Pippa her Horn glowing white, ready to Attack. Pippa ceases her attack pouting in annoyance, another move that didn't work! Before Kerrigan can reach her she breathes out a pink bubble of Yawn. Kerrigan bursts through the bubble her eyes drooping but she has momentum on her side and she falls into Pippa dealing a little damage with her attack. She winces from her burn but lies on Pippa's foot feeling really tired, was it energy usage or the Yawn?

A ring returns to Pippa restoring some health as the round comes to an end.

Jess scolded her forehead for not recognizing sound couldn't conduct through a storm. Shaking her head, she smiled at least to see the spell of somnus succeed. Noting Pippa's own tired state, she thanked her stars that despite the fruitlessness of a muddling move, it was ultimately a better option than her first instinct: to answer spiked jaws with steel. At this point, it behooved both of them to exercise restraint. Now, she just needed to progress with her recovery plan.

"Make a WISH, Pip. Then, take a REST and use SLEEP TALK," she called hopefully, crossing her fingers for few interruptions.

As expected, things were turning sour now. That Hydro Pump had nailed a critical blow, and to top things off Kerrigan seemed to look very tired, and while Pippa didn't look all that better in that aspect, but if she gets a chance to regain that energy Kerrigan's fate might as well be seal.

"I need you to pull everything toghether for another Earth Power! No one will get any quality sleep surrounded by exploding geyseys. Then keep sucking every ounce of penguin juice with your Leech Life, for as long as you can!

Round 6

Both Pokemon looked to be about ready to collapse for the heavy attacks they had used and even though Pippa was in a worse state with Kerrigan drowsy at her feet she may have the advantage. Pippa shuffles back shifting the weight of the bug off her feet before putting her flippers together before her beak. She looks to the sky and begins to glow a faint white. She makes a Wish and feels a much needed boost in her energies and feels herself enter a trance. Kerrigan looks around blearily from the yawn and can hardly make out her trainers orders through the rain despite the fact that it was beginning to die down. This gives Pippa a chance to sit down and Rest falling asleep in the process. Her health begins to improve, some of her more light injuries healing and yet more energy is drawn from the ether.

Balmund is yelling now trying to snap his Pokemon out of her sleepy stupor but she is deaf to his voice. The rain receeds to a light drizzle as Kerrigan blearily turns to face her trainer. What was he saying? An order? Earth Power? Pippa manages to go three for three before Kerrigan can move as she begins to Talk in her Sleep. She gets to her feet and turns to face Kerrigan her eyes closes as she sleeps. She opens her mouth and Balmund pales as he begins to realise what move she was about to use. She lets loose a vicious point-blank Hydro Pump that smashes into Kerrigan sending her flying back across the arena crashing into ground looking sodden and very much done. She was wide awake now but didn't want to be. She slowly makes it back to her feet and can hear her trainer calling out to her. She feels a little dejected as her surroundings blur but she would still fight. She still was concious and using the last of her ground energies she pumps the Earth full of her Power. The waves of energy cause the ground to rumble and explode beneath Pippa sending her flying before landing back down with a crash waking her up and popping an aqua ring.

Kerrigan makes a slow painful shuffle towards Pippa feeling the ground tremble as the geysers prepare to erupt again. She is only 3 metres away when the geysers explode, two of the neither near either Pokemon, lucky perhaps but Kerrigan could have used one to hit Pippa right now. Pippa was trying to remember just what had happened when Kerrigan catches up to her. She notices Kerrigan too late as she clamps down on Pippa with her Leech Life sucking the life out of her and popping another ring. She feels her health rise slightly along with her energy and sighs. She releases her hold as Pippa backs off hold her abdomen which had fresh bites on it and both stare each other down. It looked like both Pokemon would have to go another round to decide the victor when Kerrigan suddenly looks shocked. Her eyes widen and she shudders in pain before collapsing to the ground, her burn having robbed her of that health she just recovered.

The referee using a pair of binoculars, not daring to go on the field, checks on the status of both Pokemon before waving her flag towards Jess.

"Kerrigan is unable to battle, Jess and Pippa are the winners"

Congratulations to Yuki and Pippa who won a pretty damn good match. It was even throughout and your strategy at the end was great and a dash of luck with drawing Hydro Pump again really helped.
For winning the battle you receive this Beginner Trainer Battle Trophy . Pippa receives two Levels for her victory.

Commiserations to Balmund and Kerrigan who fought hard in a very close battle. The RNG was not your friend with move drawing and the burn that finished her off. Despite the type disadvantage you did really well and your gutsy moves were admirable. Kerrigan receives 1 XP for participating in the battle. See this thread to see how XP works.

Jessica released her lip, swelling with satisfaction. The stars had answered her prayers, it seemed, and forwarded them lots of luck. But it wasn't just fate that won them; it was the courage and fortitude her fighter showed throughout the match, which Jess now fully recognized as proof of her independence. Pride and momentum would have propelled her onto the field to retrieve her little - no, grown-up victor in a swinging embrace, but the ref's warning look and threat of latent geysers gushing stayed her. Instead, she serenely pointed her Pokéball at Pip, who exchanged a weak but warm smile before restoring to her home for a much-needed rest. Planting a soft kiss on the red surface, she whispered, "Good job."

Pocketing the capsule, she turned to trace the edge of the perimeter in order to reach Balmund's side and thank him for a hard battle, congratulating his prowess. (She was far too elated to notice any concerned looks at this point.) After giving her gratitude to their referee, she began to head back down the mountain, eager to go home and tell her sister the good news...

OoC - Picking up my Beginner Trainer Battle Trophy and +2 Levels for Piplup, raising her from Lv. 22 to Lv. 24. Thanks for a great match, Balmund! And thanks for breaking my character's mind reffing, Stacey! <3

It was bound to happen, and Balmund knew it though a part of him fiercely hoped luck would favor him. It didn't matter, Kerrigan had given her best and this was certainly a battle to be proud of. They would train even harder and hopefully, ahieve victory next time.

"You've done well, hun, you can rest now," Balmund said serenely as he returned the small Spelarva to the safety of her Pokéball. He thanked Jess for such an exciting match and congratulated her on her well-deserved victory. After showing his gratitude to he referee, he headed back down, his mind still immersed on the battle he had just witnessed; ever wondering about the many instances that could've been.

OoC - This was very fun! Thanks for a great match, Yuki! Kerrigan will want sweet revenge one day, that's for sure. xD

Thanks for reffing Stacey! Hope you enjoyed all the randomness~
