Beginner Trainer Battle: Missingno. Master vs. Marion Ette
The Deserted Fairground was a forgotten old playground, disused in favour of the newly built one on the other side of town. There were broken down rides covered in dust and cobwebs, stalls that sold food with their rotten remains strewn along the floor, prize stalls with forgotten toys, their stuffing torn out looking miserable ad unloved. In the centre of this sad place was a makeshift arena, cold steel lined carefully along the ground in a 50m x 50m square. It was lined with a hard chain-link fence topped with vicious barbed wire that glinted under the moonlight. All battles that took place here were done so at night when all the occupants of the fairground could truly enjoy them. One of the trainers who came here for a proposed battle appeared to meld into the night as if she was one with it. She was used to such an environment and it didn't affect her at all. The other trainer was putting on a brave front but he couldn't help the little tingle of concern that ran down his spine; you never know what might jump out of the shadows in this place.
They both find their way over to the arena to see a throne right at the back with a figure swathed in black sat lazily upon it. She pulled her hood back to reveal her dark blue eyes and blood red lips grinning at them. She walked towards them humming a tune smiling wistfully at something whispered in her ear by a sight unseen before she reached her guests. "Good Evening. Isn't it a beautiful night for a battle, the spirits are out and ready to watch what I promised them to be a thrilling match. You won't let me down will you?" She whispers the last part in their ears with a haunting smile on her face. She sways away taking her place on her thrown that had been made for especially for her. "Hmm ... so there are some rules apparently ..." Missingno. Master vs. Marion EtteShe allowed them time to prepare themselves whist retrieving a coin from her pocket. She assigned Missingno. Master to Heads and Marion Ette 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)"It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes You're paralyzed” |

Round 1

"So it is the bugs that shall battle, very well. Begin the bloodshed! the referee said slouching back into her throne to observe the battle. Taryn charges up electrical energy into his body before sending out a Wave of Thunderous energy that crackles as it approaches its target. Scorpius was prepared for this however and quickly dodges out of the way and closer to his target with his Agility. Both Pokemon stare each other down and move as one. Scorpius fixes Taryn with a fierce Leer whilst Taryn Screeches his little guts up. Both Pokemon reel from the other's attacks cancelling the effects of each out; it was a stalemate! Now it was time to deal some physical damage. Scorpius charges up dark energy into his right claw and leaps up towards Taryn ready to Night Slash but the little Joltik wasn't going to stand there and take that. He manages to Bounce high enough up to be 30cm above Scopius before landing down on him surrounded in flying energy. Scorpius grunts in pain before shaking his opponent off to the ground.

Marion had already sensed that Scorpius would be a tough opponent, and that was certainly the case so far. Evading Taran's thunder wave and cancelling out his screech... The opposing bugs were evenly matched in power, and it was certainly showing! Even so, Marion cannot help but cheer at Taran's well-executed bounce, which becomes the first damaging hit of the match. The ghostly trainer would have to think fast if she was going to help Taran keep the advantage.
"Taran, quickly use your Spider Web to trap Scorpius, then try another Screech! Follow up with a brutal Cut! You're doing great!!" |

Though Scorpius hadn't managed to land a hit, he didn't seem discouraged. On the contrary, a fire seemed to be burning in the Skorupi's eyes now. If anything, he was more pumped up than ever. Keith grinned, knowing the battle could only prove to be more and more intense as time went on. Right now, he had to help Scorpius gain an advantage, though.
"Scorpius, another Agility to evade that Spider Web!" Keith shouted. "Then hit Taran with Night Slash, and follow up with your own Cut!" |

Round 2
Taryn appeared to have the early advantage as he had been the only one to land a hit. The referee smiled at the success of the Joltik and waited eagerly for more actions as did the ghosts that had begun to lurk around the metal fencing surrounding the arena.
Taryn wasn't going to disappoint her 'fans' and he launched a Spider Web towards Scorpius but again he uses his Agility to move out of the way letting the webbing fall uselessly to the ground. Taryn narrows his eyes annoyed at the dodge and so Screeches at Scorpius who groans and tries to cover his head to protect him from the noise, his defences lowered. Taryn takes advantage of this and using a tiny claw he rakes it down the Skorupi's body with a Cut that startles the Scorpion Pokemon into backing off. Scorpius decides to exact some revenge and so charging up dark energies into his claw he swipes back at Taryn making him squeal. Scorpius then follows up with a Cut of his own leaving another scratch mark upon his little yellow body. The spectators howl in pleasure and the fencing vibrates with force of them shaking it. Health: 70% Energy: 57% Status: Def -- Health: 84% Energy: 65% Status: Missingno. Master to post followed by Marion Ette |

Both Keith and Scorpius were feeling better after this round. Indeed, as the fence vibrated from the howling of the spectral spectators, Scorpius actually waved in that direction with their stingers, appearing to enjoy the attention. The Skorupi had still lost more health than Taran, but he had managed to land some decent hits this time. Keith considered for a moment the possibility of ordering Scorpius to use his secret weapon, a move he had learned very recently, but thought better of it, and decided to wait until the time was right.
"Scorpius, use Leer! Then another Cut, and follow up with Sludge Bomb!" Keith ordered. |

Marion does not waste a single moment ordering Taran into action. Though her attempts to immobilize Scorpius had thus far been unsuccessful, perhaps this round would give her and her Joltik the opportunity they needed.
"Taran, tie Scorpius up with String Shot while he's leering, then use Thunder Wave to incapacitate him! Then Bounce out of the way of his Sludge Bomb and hit 'em hard!" |

Round 3
Neither Pokemon or trainer appeared concerned about the spirits surrounding them as the third party in this battle, no they were far too into their own strategies. Scorpius appeared to be faring worse then Taryn but he had been effectively evading the bugs attempts to pin him down and this annoyed Taryn. Scopius this time starts off with a fierce Leer his eyes glowing red in the darkness only adding to the effect of the scary move. Taryn was preparing his String Shot and he nearly chokes on it pinned down by the Leer feeling his defences drop and shuddering, that Skorupi looked wicked evil right now!
Having effectively halted another attempt to slow him up Scorpius rakes his claws down the Joltik's body once again in another Cut only adding more marks down the poor bug's body. Taryn skitters back a bit brought out of his daze by the blow. He narrows his gaze at the smug poison bug and point-blank blasts him with a Thunder Wave and this time there was no avoiding it. Scorpius winces and scrunches his eyes together and paralysis takes over his body. Scorpius was slowed down by his now paralysed state and so Taryn easily Bounces up and over the bug landing back on his back again dealing more super effective damage but eating up all his Flying Energies in the process. Scorpius shakes his body ridding himself of Taryn and takes a deep breath hoping that he can push through his paralysis to attack. He successfully launches a Sludge Bomb at point blank range the bombs exploding sending both Pokemon flying backwards. The ghosts howl with laughter and applaud the violence, the referee following suit.

Marion knew she had utilized her trump card early, but she did not regret it. Taran still looked plenty energetic and full of vigor, and though she knew Scorpius likely had a powerful attack of his own, she and Taran would deal with it as best as they could.
"Taran, use Cut twice! Try to Dodge if a powerful attack comes your way! Do your best, hun!!" |

"Paralyzed..." Keith grunted. At this rate, Scorpius might not have an opportunity to unleash his secret weapon. It might literally be now or never.
"OK, Scorpius, when Taran comes in close, Leer at him, and immediately follow up with your Flamethrower attack! Wrap the whole thing up with Bite!" |

Round 4
It looked as though Taran had gotten an edge in this battle by paralysing his opponent, now all he had to do was to capitalise on this. Taran scuttles his way towards Scorpius ready to attack as the scorpion Pokemon comes to his senses after his attack struck him too. He tries to Leer at the Joltik to halt his process but sparks fly from him forcing him to wince and close his eyes. He grunts as he feels Taran's Cut slice across his face. Taran squeaks in approval and goes in for another Cut leaving a small bleeding scratch next to the previous one.
Skorpius takes some deep breaths trying to cut through the pain and paralysis enough to use his secret weapon. He breathes in feeling a searing in his stomach. It hurt to do but he churned up a Flamethrower in his mouth and fires the line line of flames towards Taran who had not time to dodge due to his proximity to Skorpius. Taran screeches in pain and howls of approval blend in with his screams from the spirits watching. Marion can only look on in horror as the flame die down leaving Taran stumbling around with a nasty burn along his back. Skorpius looks drained from that one attack and all his fire energies are gone but perhaps now the playing field is even once again Health: 22% Energy: 25% Status: Def -- Paralysed Fire Energy Depleted Health: 21% Energy: 44% Status: Def - Burnt Flying Energy Depleted Missingno.

Keith couldn't help but grin as Scorpius's Flamethrower connected at point-blank range. This evened things out for sure, and the burn was bound to help them out as well.
"Way to go, Scorpius!" Keith cheered on his Poison/Bug-type. "Ready to win this?" "Skorrrrupi!" exclaimed Scorpius, ready to go in spite of his paralysis. "Let's do it! Two Cuts and a Night Slash!" |

Marion grimaced at the vicious flamethrower, and the damage it inflicted upon her poor Joltik. Even so, with Scorpius still paralyzed, perhaps she could turn Joltik's high speed to her advantage...
"Taran, tangle him up in your Spider Web before he has a chance to attack, then double Cut! You can still win this!!" |

Round 5
Both Pokemon were afflicted with a status now and it would affect both their ability to battle. Taran's attack power is reduced with his burn and Scorpius was not always able to move if the paralysis took hold of him. Neither Pokemon had given up though and both were ready to finish the battle and come out of top despite their disadvantages.
Scopius scuttles back towards Taran but as he prepares his attack his claw locks up and his eyes look worriedly at his open position. Taran is not so afflicted and he spits out a [b]Spider Web[b] that covers Scopius and pins him to the ground. Scopius whimpers as he tries to get free but he's stuck fast, he's a sitting duck! Taran comes ever closer and lifting up a tiny claw he Cut's Scorpius' skin making him wince in pain. He was not finished and he raises his other claw and performs another Cut but had failed to notice that his attacks had shredded the webbing, oh well it had done its job. Scopius picks himself up looking weak and tries to use his own Cut but again his muscles lock up. He has tears of frustration in his eyes and pushing really hard he manages to charge up dark energy into his right claws before unleashing the Night Slash across Taran's face, a little payback but was it too little too late? Suddenly Taran's burn eats at his flesh and he too wobbles from the pain ... maybe not!

"CUT! NOW! If you miss, CUT again, and again, until he's out! YOU CAN DO THIS! SLASH HIM TO RIBBONS, TARAN! C'MON, LOVE!!" Marion screams out with a real sense of urgency. They had to act fast! Granted, Marion wouldn't normally be so violent in her description of her orders, but in the heat of the moment, with the battle so close, it was hard not to really get into it!

This was it. Both Scorpius and Taran were nearing defeat. There was no doubt that this was to be the final round. Indeed, Keith could not blame Marion for becoming somewhat more violent in her attack orders. However, Keith had a plan of his own. Though Scorpius's energy reserves were dwindling fast, he knew he'd be able to pull off these moves, at least.
"Scorpius, fire off a Poison Sting to keep Taran at bay! If he manages to get close anyway, Leer at him, then grab him with your tail claw and slam him to the ground with your best Strength attack!" |

Round 6
It was down to the wire now and both trainers were feeling the desperation, the need to win. Both Pokemon were near their end, their vision swam with darkness as their health reached critical levels. The spirits were howling and shaking the fencing eager to see the blood end of the match. One blow should be efficient enough to finish the other off, it was only a matter of who would strike first.
Taran pulls back his claw as Scorpius pushes through his paralysis to breath in ready to attack himself. Taran releases a Cut across Scorpius' face as he spits out a few Poison Stings. Scopius winces from the blow turning his head and sending the majority of his attack wild into the spirits who cackle. He collapses to the ground KO'd from the blow, his defences were too low to hold on any more. Taran has a few barbs in his skin but he's barely hanging on panting heavily. His speed advantage had won it in the end for him! The referee rises from her throne and beams a blood red smile at the Pokemon. "Well that was a lot of fun, we thank you for the show. Oh the Joltik won, such a fierce fighter despite his size ... interesting" She leaves swiftly leaving the trainers with their Pokemon and prizes. Health: 00% Energy: 15% Status: KO'd from his injuries Health: 01% Energy: 23% Status: Atk - Def - Burnt Flying Energy Depleted Congratulations to Marion and Taran. This is the first battle I've reffed for you and you've won so very well done. Not many people can boast that. There was a lot of good and bad luck for both of you that really pushed the bar of victory back and forth so I wasn't sure who was going to come out of tip. That's the best kind of match, one that's so close I can't predict it. For his victory Taran receives this Beginner Trainer Battle Trophy.. He also receives two levels. Commiserations to MM and Scorpius, this was extremely close and it came down to the paralysis slowing Scorpius down. There was a lot of good and bad luck on both your parts. You were lucky with the burning from the Flamethrower. Keep trying though, you've won some and lost some now. Scorpius receives 1 XP for participating in the battle. |

Keith scooped the unconscious Skorupi into his arms, where he slowly woke back up, the fact that he lost just now dawning on him. This was the first time Scorpius had ever lost a match, and he couldn't believe it, he just couldn't believe it.
Keith took the loss rather better than his Skorupi had, graciously congratulated Marion on her victory, thanked her for an exciting battle, and then thanked the referee. (Collecting 1 XP for Scorpius. Thanks for reffing, Arc!) |

Marion rushes onto the battlefield with Keith the moment that the final blows are exchanged. Carefully removing the poison barbs from his body, she gingerly scoops up her little Joltik, who looks up at her with excitement despite barely hanging on to consciousness. "You did it, Taran!! I'm so proud of you!!" Marion grins at her tiny champion. She places Taran back on her shoulder, where he begins happily feeding on the static in her clothes and hair once again. She thanks the ref for presiding over their exciting match. Marion then extends her hand to Keith, bowing her head in respect.
"It was a close one, Keith. I think it could have gone either way. Scorpius should be proud of how well he fought. He's really impressive!" Taran manages to cry out in agreement despite his lack of energy. ((Raising Taran from Lv.7 to Lv.9, and picking up Taran's . Thanks so much for reffing, Arc~!)) |
