Beginner Trainer Battle: MarbleZone vs. kaisap112
The first match to be begin in February and the weather had started to improve, the sun was even shining through the clouds today and so two intrepid trainer make their way towards the Energos Quarry. It had been reopened especially for this battle today and as they reach the edges they peer down into the deep drop to the arena floor before, better find a safe way down. They feel a tingling along their skin from the electro magnetic field making their hair slightly frizzy. Fortunately a path had been made leading the the arena ground which was strewn with metal drums, old broken down machinery and piles of rubble that had fallen down the side of the quarry. The referee stood in the centre waiting for them patiently.
"Ey Up guys, I'm glad you made down here in one piece. I hope you like the arena I chose for you, since you're both using electric type I thought it would be fitting. Lets go over the rules so we can get this battle under way, you've waited long enough." MarbleZone vs. kaisap112She allowed them time to prepare themselves whist retrieving a coin from her pocket. She assigned MarbleZone to Heads and kaisap112 to Tails and gave it a quick flip: "Heads". 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."We`ll always be together However far it seems (Love never ends) We`ll always be together Together in Electric Dreams" Last edited by Arc_Angel; 02-02-2013 at 10:15 AM. |

Round 1

Quote:
Crix shakes off the tingle of nerves running down his spine and being the quicker of the two he lets loose a Thunder Wave that hits Elmira making her eyes bug out before Paralysis takes over small sparks flying off her body. The sparks die down and she moves slowly towards a nearby small boulder. Her body is screaming at her but she manages to just push through her paralysis enough to kick the boulder towards Crix in a show of Strength. Crix cries out as the boulder slams into him knocking him back into the dirt, that was painful, the boulder was nearly as big as him! Crix picks himself up and sparks fly from his antennae and he shoots the charge forwards. As it heads towards Elmira it opens up into a yellow Electroweb that covers her pinning her to the ground and dealing light shock damages. Elmira tries to free herself but with her paralysis she's stuck fast. Crix takes the opportunity to Meditate resetting his attack power to its normal level. Elmira takes another stab at getting out of the web and manages to do so this time but locks up with paralysis unable to capitalise on her freedom.

((I'd like confirmation if Electroweb lowered Speed by 1 stage or not, please.))
Alright, going well so far. We cancelled Intimidate and have a clear speed advantage... but we're moving first now, which is never good. - She's already having trouble moving, let's make sure she stays put! Blind her with Flash before she tries to close in, then pin her down again with a second Electroweb and hit home with a Swift she can't dodge! She's bulkier than Crix, and her attacks will put a bigger dent on us than the other way around. Gotta wait for an opening... |

Darn paralysis! Status effects were developing a track record of leading Noriko's battles to ruin. But giving up now wouldn't help...
"Elmira, don't panic! Charge up and then Flash, before staring him down with a Leer!" |

Round 2
It had not been a good start for Elmira having been inflicted with Paralysis and having to fight to escape another electric attack. She had dealt the greater damage but she had to fight even harder to be able to deal that kind of damage. Crix had a couple of bruises on his yellow hide but he was more than ready to inflict more status on the kitty. He starts by unleashing a bright Flash making the kitty mewl in pain and shut her eyes feeling spots forming there. Even with her reduced vision she could still get up a Charge boosting the power of her electric attacks should she use one soon and raising her special defences.
Crix isn't at all concerned by this and traps the Luxio in another Electroweb the shock dealing light damage as it pins her to the ground. Elmira tries to break free of the web but is unable to do so letting loose a howl of frustration. Crix laughs at her predicament but he yelps in surprise as she uses her own Flash from within the web reducing his vision too. Despite this he is ordered to use a Swift and the golden sparkling homing stars find her slamming into her dealing damage but cutting up the web in the process. Elmira stretches her legs and grins before she realises that she can't quite make out Crix. She attempts a Leer but with his poor vision he can't see it either, its like the blind leading the blind and the move fails. Health: 88% Energy: 77% Status: Acc - Health: 85% Energy: 82% Status: Sp.

Noriko jumped with joy when the opponent's Swift clipped the electric web right off Elmira. The battle was far from over though, and that darn Paralysis...
"Elmira, let's play it safe. Use Swift, then Charge some more and then use Swift again!" |

Crix had taken the lead this round, but his vision was blurred from Elmira's own Flash. She, in turn, was gonna try to bypass her own loss of accuracy with a couple of Swifts, the reasonable thing to do. How would they counter that without wasting too much energy?
- Use your own Swift to cancel hers, then use your speed advantage to Cross Chop her head-on as she starts to Charge! Then step back and take a breather, and brace for that last Swift, mate. |

Round 3
With both Pokemon's poor vision their trainer decide to use their homing attacks to pinpoint the target and attack. Both Elmira and Crix let loose a flurry of Swift stars that collide with one another causing a shower of beautiful sparkles but neither Pokemon takes any damage. Elmira starts to Charge again but Crix is already moving to her position He has his arms pulled across his face and leaps at herCross Chopping ... a steel drum next to her having missed her position allowing her to finish her Charge.
Crix backs off rubbing his sore arms and braces himself for the incoming attacl. Elmira roars as she sends a second wave of Swift at Crix who this time takes the attack head on wincing as little cuts appear all over his body. Elmira's paralysis appears to have worn off now as she takes the lead in this battle. Health: 76% Energy: 63% Status: Acc - Health: 85% Energy: 71% Status: Sp.

Levin sighed. The only thing that could have gone wrong just did.
One Flash and he goes and misses a huge freaking lion right in front of him. Still, he wasn't as upset as he would have been some time ago. As long as his failures were attributed to bad luck rather than bad calls, he could live with it; besides, this was a lot more fun than fighting wild Pokemon - a whole different level. Nevertheless, he knew what this last round meant. It might have been his first match, but he was sensible enough to know that missing a Cross Chop with the opponent wide open, at such a critical juncture, could well have sealed the fate of the match; as conservative as he tried to be with Crix's energy, he had to gamble at some point, and it had failed. All they could do now was pick up the pieces and hope for better luck. - Hang in there Crix, you're doing great! We can still turn this around! Inexperience in battle as he may be, he did know theory. Unless he miscalculated, a Luxio of Elmira's level only knew one Electric attack - Spark should be her only move that could capitalize on Charge boosts. - She might try to close in on us, but we still have the speed advantage! Use it to unleash a Flash before she can act, then follow it up with another Thunder Wave and close the round with Electroweb! His health was lower, his energy was lower. The only edge they retained was speed, so that's what he'd bank on. It was their only choice, anyway. |

Noriko gritted her teeth; as much as the disappearing of the Paralysis helped, Elmira had to be careful about spending her stamina. Some new moves wouldn't definitely go on the "to get" list. That Elekid's Flash was bothersome as well...
"Elmira, use Swift three times: first to hit Crix, then the other two to counter his attacks!" |

Round 4
Levin was fighting his own internal battle not looking at all happy with how the battle was transitioning so far. His Pokemon was trying his hardest but him missing his Cross Chop was a mistake they couldn't afford. They had to gain the lead again and so hoping to lower their opponent's accuracy once more Crix lets loose another Flash catching Elmira by surprise ... and she had only just cleared the spots from her vision from the last bright flash! She grits her eyes and relies on her heat-seeking stars once again using her Swift to deal more pain to Crix, payback for the Flash.
Crix easily shakes off the pain and lets loose a Thunder Wave before Elmira can attack and yet again she's paralysed. She growls deep in her throat and manages to move enough to let loose another Swift leaving even more cuts across Crix's body. Crix glares at the Luxio and shoots a beam of yellow electricity that opens out into the familiar Electroweb ensnaring the big cat. She tries her Swift to free herself again but her body locks up and she's left in a vulnerable situation. Health: 60% Energy: 51% Status: Health: 83% Energy: 63% Status: Sp.

"Are you kidding me?!" Noriko wanted to punch something. Status effects never seemed to be on her side. Calm down Noriko, it's not over yet, we can still turn this around. She took a deep breath, knowing a panic wouldn't help Elmira's situation.
"Elmira, keep calm and use Flash three times! He can't hit you if he's blind!" |

A smile formed on Levin's lips, unintentional but honest. This girl really didn't like to mix it up, twice in a row ordering a string of repeated commands. To be fair, it wasn't working out too bad for her, since she had the lead, but it was still a curious style.
The Luxio was still trapped in Crix's Electroweb, having failed to break free earlier due to paralysis; it was a good time to either slow down, or go all out. But considering the last time they went all out, it went all wrong, he'd take it easy for now. - You heard her Crix, it's a free round. Close your eyes and Meditate twice, then take a breather. As much as he wanted to charge head-on with a powerful move, and perhaps they should, the memory of their earlier failure was still too fresh; and if it had only taken one Flash to stop his offense last time, how sensible was it to rush into three? He took a deep breath; stale rounds annoyed him. Sorry Crix, I know you hate it too, but it's for the best. |

Round 5
Noriko was becoming a little frustrated with how the battle was going, her poor Luxio was paralysed ... again and trapped by an Electroweb ... again! She wasn't having much luck here and Levin appeared to be amused by this as he grinned a cocky smile. He cheered up as his opponent did poorly, did this make him a bad person? Perhaps but either way he had a perfect strategy to overcome the Flashes ordered by Noriko. Elmira glows a bright white and lets loose a Flash that fills the arena but Crix had his eyes shut preventing the light from burning his retinas. He begins to Meditate boosting his attack power. Elmira tries again but Crix still has his eyes shut and Meditates once more. She doesn't bother trying again as the Elekid keeps his eyes closed throughout the round.

This was it. Their opening was right there, the target helpless. Crix was faster, and now stronger, than Elmira. No time would be better, even if it cost them their energy... they had to turn this around now.
- Crix, let's do this!! Take advantage of your speed and let loose a Cross Chop while she's in the web, then chain it immediately with an Ice Punch! When she attacks, wait for the move and try to disrupt it with a Quick Attack! He'd bet on Crix's higher Attack, Speed and the off-chance of paralysis. Elmira's poor eyesight meant he should expect a Swift once again, but he couldn't try to shield everything all the time; his friend's energy reserves were running low, so if he was going to spend them, it might as well be to deal some proper damage for a change. Elmira likely wasn't going to faint this round, but he refused to stall the hell out of his first match. |

Elmira was in a better condition healt- and stamina-wise, but that darn paralysis...as much as Noriko enjoyed a tough battle, she didn't enjoy losing. She was fairly sure Elmira felt the same way.
"Elmira, I need you to focus! When the Chop comes at you, Bite into Crix's hand, then throw him hard to your right with Strength! We'll finish with Night Slash, don't let him get back up!" |

Round 6
It appeared that Elmira was helpless, waiting for the next attack to knock her back. She may had the advantage on health but she was a sitting duck for what was to happen next. Crix charges towards her using his speed advantage and Crossing his arms in front of his face he Chops down hard on her head before she can even react making her roar in pain her eyes clamped shut. Crix appears to have used his fighting energy reserve though so it was lucky he hit his target this time. Elmira opens her eyes and using what movement she can muster Bites down on Crix's right hand making him wince and ripping the webbing holding her down.
Crix shakes off the pain and using his free arm slams it into Elmira's face with an Ice Punch freezing over her face. Elmira stumbles about in alarm trying to get the ice off her face eventually using her Strength slamming into a piece of machinery smashing the ice but bruising her head too! Crix watches the show with a smile on his face, this battle was going his way ... even if he was feeling a little tired. Elmira locks up before she can try her last attack and Crix is glad not to have to use the energy to dodge.

"Elmira, hang in there!" Noriko bit her lip, worried about her friend's condition. Crix had taken the lead, but Noriko's team wasn't known for using white flags in battles. A more straight-forward approach was required now though...
"Elmira, stare him down with a Leer, then hit him with Night Slash and finally shoot him with Signal Beam!" |

The tide had turned... finally. But it took a huge amount of Crix's energy to do so; the Electric-type was gasping for air, and Levin had a feeling there'd be no more Cross Chops coming from the spunky little guy. Still, he was doing wonderfully against an evolved opponent, and Levin couldn't ask for more. Be that as it may, they had to go back to being conservative, and that Leer might give them the opening they needed.
- Crix, take advantage of her intense staring to unleash two Flashes dead in her eyes, then try to rest up a bit! He could almost hear Crix telling him to man up and attack, but he was sure that deep down inside, the Elekid agreed that they couldn't be reckless, as much as it ate him up. |

Round 7
Elmira was now suffering quite badly from her paralysis and her health had dipped below Crix but she had the advantage of energy and the Elekid knew it. The Luxio pushes through her paralysis enough to fix Crix with a fierce Leer but the Elekid was much faster than her and had released a bright Flash before the effects of her attack could kick in making her mewl in pain slamming her eyes shut against the bright spots of light now dashing across her vision. She barely opens her eyes again when Crix lets loose another Flash the bright white light making her eyes even more sore. Crix then settles down hoping to gain back a little energy before the next round.
Elmira sighed in annoyance and shook her head, this was taking the biscuit. She had to attack she just had to! She looked across the arena and pushing through the paralysis she charges towards what she thinks is Crix and unleashes a Night Slash ... and actually hits him! He grunts in pain and holds his abdomen. She grins as she feels her muscles totally free of the static holding her and shakes out her limbs, that was much better. With Crix in such close quarters she manages to hit him once more this time with a Signal Beam and he looks confused from the attack too! Now the shoe was on the other foot and Elmira had taken the advantage right back ... if she could keep it up and hope her poor vision wouldn't hinder her in the next round.

Paralysis had failed, Flash had failed, and even the minuscule chance for Confusion had triggered. Against luck like this, no amount of skill could even the odds.
Levin clenched his fists; it was inglorious to lose like this, victim to Murphy's Law, helpless. If anything, they could try to go down fighting; Crix would pass out this round anyway. - Crix... you were great. I couldn't have asked more from you. If you can still hear me somehow, end this with a bang. Go for Crossfire, then two final Quick Attacks if you're still standing. And whatever happens, know that you made me very proud to be your Trainer today. |

Noriko resisted the urge to let her jaw drop from the incredible boost of luck their team had just received for reasons unknown. The battle wasn't over yet, and taking big risks now could backfire in the worst way. Noriko took a deep breath.
"Elmira, it's time we wrap up the show. Use Flash and quickly back away when Crix is blinded, then hit him with Swift from a distance and lastly, run up to him and hit him in the face with Night Slash! Don't give him a chance for an encore performance!" The rest was up to faith. |

Round 8
Levin was shaking with frustration ans rage, his perfect strategy had fallen to pieces and it looked as though the battle could be over. Crix was running real low on energy and could possible faint if he used too much this round but Levin wasn't one to sit back and do nothing. Crix would want to battle on and so they shall, rather admirable. Noriko however couldn't help the thrill of excitement that ran down her spine, Elmira had turned the tide of battle and she could feel victory within her grasp, now to finish the Elekid.
Crix was still faster and although confused had been given his orders, and perhaps a little luck was still with them as he appeared to hear them. His arms burst into flame and he leapt at Elmira with a harsh Crossfire attack that had her stumbling back in shock. She recovers and winces in pain as she feels the burn along her right shoulder. She growls low in her throat, no this was her match to win! She lets loose a bright Flash but Crix had started to look around in confusion and misses the light show. Crix hears his next order and it gets through his muddled mind again and he charges into Elmira with a Quick Attack pushing her back but he falls to his knees totally exhausted, he was about to collapse! Elmira didn't need to be able to see properly to know her next attack would hit. She let loose the Swift and the seeking stars ripped into Crix dealing light damage. Crix gets back to his feet, he knew his next attack would make him faint, his mind could sense that over the confusion and as he receives it he decides to go down fighting. He runs into Elmira with his last Quick Attack before collapsing at her paws unable to carry on. "Crix is unable to battle, Elmira and Noriko are the winners." Health: 19% Energy: 00% Status: Atk ++ KO'd from exhaustion Health: 07% Energy: 17% Status: Sp. Def ++ Spd --- Acc -- Burnt Congratulations to kaisap112 and Elmira on your victory. Gosh all these battles lately have been really close. You lucked out in a lot of ways but your use of Swift when Elmira was blinded was good and you used your attacks in such a way as to outlast your opponent in energy levels so well done. For her victory Elmira receives this . She also receives two levels. Commiserations to MarbleZone and Crix, it was very close you and had you not used so much energy at the end Elmira would have fainted due to the burn. You had some good and bad luck but that's the way these battles can go sometimes. Your strategy was very sound, an example of a great thinker. Crix receives 1 XP for participating in the battle. I hope to see you both back here again soon ^-^ |

(Elmira grows from Lv. 20 to Lv. 22.) Noriko picked Elmira up and walked over to the referee to receive their trophy. It would certainly get a spot in Noriko's team's future trophy case. "Thank you for your hard work", she said while bowing to the referee before calling Elmira back into her Pokéball and walking over to Levin for a handshake. "That was a great match, Crix is a tough one to battle against. Good luck in all your future matches, the both of you!" |

Kneeling beside his fallen companion, Levin took him in his arms and whispered a "thank you" before calling him back to his Pokeball. Taking a deep breath, he reviewed the battle in his head, thinking what he should have done differently - he couldn't tell yet. Maybe in a year's time, looking back at htis moment, he'd have the answer, but right now, all he could attribute the loss to was bad luck. And he was fine with that. He rose back to his feet, walked over to Noriko and shook her hand. - Elmira is a remarkable fighter, both of you did great. Thanks for agreeing to this battle and being my first opponents, I couldn't have asked for a better start! He actually meant it this time. He thanked Stacey as well, for accepting to take his debut match, and for the compliments regarding his battle style - it was a much needed boost of confidence, coming from the very best. Waving at both, Levin left Energos Quarry, with one last lingering thought that made him smile all the way. This... is incredibly fun! |
