Beginner Trainer Battle: Thrain vs. Balmund
The dust swirled along the arid ground as the winds picked up. This was all there was for mile around but in the distance there was a solid piece of rock that jutted out reaching for the bright sun that shone upon the land. It was this mesa that had been chosen for a trainer battle today. Two intrepid trainers were making their way across the desert fighting against the heat as the approached the arena. The referee stood ready as ever decked out in brown shorts, hiking boots, thin white t-shirt and light cream jacket and a floppy brown hat. She peered through her sun glasses at the pair and waved them over, they looked hot and sweaty from the walk.
"Hey guys, you sure picked a hot day to have this battle eh" She said with a chuckle fanning her flushed skin. "Well I know Balmund is a veteran with these type of battles but lets go over the rules for Thrain, I want to make sure you both stay and safe as possible here today; that goes for your Pokemon too!" Thrain vs. BalmundShe allowed them time to prepare themselves whist retrieving a coin from her pocket. She assigned Thrain to Heads and Balmund 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)“He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below He saw everything as far as you can see And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun And he lost a friend but kept his memory” |

Blaze barks and charges up fire energy into his mouth before breathing out a long thin Flamethrower towards Fa. The little Dunsparce looks unfazed and she Curls up Defensively as the flames wash over her skin. Balmund winces as he sees his Pokemon go up in flames but she charges through the fire and heads towards Blaze with a Rollout. Blaze halts his fire attack to put his head down towards his flaming opponent. He leaps at her with a show of his Strength and both attacks collide sending both flying along the mesa. Blaze whimpers as the super effective attack deals bad damage to his side and he looks on with horror to see that Fa had rolled off but had not lost any memento. In fact she had turned around was on her way back towards him. He could not see her eyes to Leer at her so just as she was about to strike he erects a Safeguard and she slams into it going flying back and falling out of her ball to land before her trainer. That had hurt her then! Health: 82% Energy: 70% Status: Health: 72% Energy: 84% Status: Atk - Def + Balmund to post followed by Thrain Last edited by Arc_Angel; 09-17-2012 at 05:01 PM.

"A Safeguard, huh? How mean! Spite him for that Fa, then keep up the offensive; Rollout into him before landing a crushing Body Slam!"

"Nice work, Blaze! Keep it going with an Ember. Hold your ground until the very last second, then jump up into the air as high as possible to dodge its next attack. Come back down with Strength; follow it up with a Bite."

Round 2
Both Pokemon had started off the round hard and fast dealing heavy damage to both sides. Fa had taken the brunt of the damage as Blaze showed he was not to be taken lightly but she showed that she had some tricks up her non-existent sleeves. Balmund wasn't pleased with the use of Safeguard to protect the Growlithe from her attacks and so decides to make him pay. Fa giggles as she begins to Spite Blaze who moans as he feels drained, it was if he had performed that Safeguard again. He stumbles a bit from the energy loss but soon shakes it off and sends a warning Ember Fa's way as a bit of retribution.
The fire wasn't as strong as the last one she had endures she she is quick to move onto her next attack curling up into a ball and Rolling Out towards Blaze. Blaze is prepared however and he springs up to leap above the curled up Fa but his timing is off and she clips his feet sending him sprawling back onto the hard rock ground. He winces as he gets back to his feet having failed miserably at that move and forgoes his Strength since he was no longer in the air to perform it. He turns to see Fa heading back towards him before uncurling ready to Body Slam him. He bares his teeth revealing their sharp points and as she lands on him he sinks his teeth into her side with a Bite sending both Pokemon sprawling down the mesa due to the momentum. They both come to a stop near the edge and Blaze tries to move but sparks fly off his body as the Paralysis from the Body Slam Kicks in. Fa winces at the teeth marks in her side but looks happy with how the round went overall.

Eric groaned as he saw the effects of a paralysis overtake Blaze. Both combatants looked tired, although Blaze seemed to have taken the brunt of the assault this round.
"Okay, Blaze," Eric called from afar. "We can still do this! Try to aim a Hidden Power (Ice) at the bite marks you made on Fa. Follow it up with a Leer. If they try to knock you off the side of the mesa, Safeguard. Otherwise, do your own best to knock Fa off with Dark Pulse." Eric gazed on at the coming round intently, hoping that the paralysis would wear off soon. |

Balmund couldn't help feeling a bit concerned as both Pokémon got near the mesa's edge, but he tried to not dedicate too much of his attention to that. Too risky, and chances are, the efforts would be all in vain. Rather, it was best to capitalize on the advantage he already had at hand.
"The pup's looking numb with paralysis. Fire a Thunderbolt, now!" He commanded, hoping the electricity would improve his chances even more. "Then trap him in a Rock Tomb! Spite him afterwards." |

Round 3
Eric could only groan as he saw how his Pokemon was faring in this battle and they were only 2 rounds in. Blaze was running low on energy and now he was paralysed! Fa was happy at her success but Balmund was concerned by how close to the edge of the mesa the pair had ended up. Eric was similarly concerned but was giving encouragement and support trying to bolster Blazes confidence and get him moving again. Blaze has his orders and he tries to move to perform his Hidden Power but his paralysis holds him tight. Fa takes advantage of his and summoning electrical energy into her body before unleashing a Thunderbolt that shocks Blaze making him shudder in pain feeling the paralysis worsen from the extra electricity.
Blaze gets back to his feet again and this time his eyes aren't restricted by his paralysis and he fixed Fa with a fierce Leer making her gulp in terror preventing her from executing her Rock Tomb. Blaze gives a little sigh of relief at that move working, now could he pull off another? He concentrates hard and is able to move his head enough summon dark purple/pink rings before launching the Dark Pulse towards Fa making her yelp in pain as she slides right towards the edge but she manages to hang on digging her tail into the earth. She grits her teeth and Spites Blaze draining him of even more energy as he begins to regret using that last attack.

"Quickly Rollout away from the edge and position yourself so that Blaze is between you and the edge. Unleash another Thunderbolt before ramming him off the cliff with another Body Slam!"

"Quickly, Blaze, summon your mightiest Roar to unnerve Fa. Follow with a double dose of Leer. If the Dunsparce still attacks, do your best to dodge it!"
Eric knew that he was gambling with fate here, but he could think of no other way to successfully attack in Blaze's paralyzed state without wasting energy. |

Round 4
Balmund's strategy was clear, to make Blaze run out of energy and fast, that and to try and get the Growlithe off the edge of the mesa. Growlithe was just trying to hang on and move enough to be able to attack back and make Fa think twice. Fa is quick to move away from the edge by leaping into a Rollout and spinning away to a safer spot. Blaze isn't inhibited enough that he can't Roar making Fa falter and fall out of her Rollout skidding along the ground. She gets back onto her belly and starts to charge up a Thunderbolt when she caught sight of Blaze's fierce Leer and she thinks back to the terrifying roar he gave and she shuddered with fear feeling her defences drop. Blaze grinds at his success and plans on sealing the deal making sure that Fa makes no moves this round when his body locks up his eyes closed shut and he whimpers in annoyance. Fa shakes off the effects of the Leer and remembers that she was a big strong snake and she was winning this battle! She starts slithering towards Blaze and leaps up in the air coming back down on his body with a Body Slam but doesn't manage to push him off the edge, now both Pokemon were too close to comfort once again.

"Give Fa the nastiest Leer you can manage," Eric shouted. "Then gather your last remnants of Strength to push her off the cliff. I know you can do this, Blaze!"
Tension filled the air as Eric finished ordering his commands. He prayed that the paralysis wouldn't have an effect this round, shouting encouragements to the Growlithe from afar. |

Round 5
Balmund was extremely comfortable that he and Fa had this battle in the bag now whilst Eric was desperately praying he could pull out a surprise win. Balmund was so confident that when Blaze was ordered to perform a Leer he didn't even have Fa dodge it. Blaze's muscles were loosening right up now and he didn't have a problem pulling off the move. Fa was again caught by the scary red eyes that lowered her defences and left her too startled to move. Blaze moved his feet tentatively before racing towards Fa with a show of Strength pushing her right towards the edge of the mesa. She senses the danger and squeaked in alarm. Again she dug her tail in and with increased energy levels was able to hold on.
She stared the Growlithe down whilst sparking all over before unleashing a Thunderbolt that has Blaze howling in pain. Fa grins before her tail begins to spin rapidly white energy forming around it and it elongated. She leaps up and rams the Horn Drill deep into Blaze's side making his eyes bulge out before he collapses falling off the edge of the mesa unconscious. Eric nearly has a heart attack but the referee whistles and a large Onix rises up with Blaze on its head. She thanks the wild rock snake for its help as it deposits Blaze by Eric's feet. Fa lies down nearly out from the effort of the last attack but she has a smile on her face. "Growlithe is unable to battle, Balmund and Dunsparce are the winners!" Health: 00% Energy: 07% Status: KO'd from his injuries Health: 34% Energy: 01% Status: Atk - Def -- Electric Energy Depleted Congratulations to Balmund and Fa. You've finally won a battle (weh hey!), I knew you would eventually =p. You did really well here and were all over Blaze and Thrain. You were lucky that you didn't KO Fa with the Horn Drill as its a heavy energy move but despite that you used your attacks well to not only drain Blaze of health but energy too. For her victory Fa receives this . She also receives two levels. Commiserations to Thrain and Blaze, you were unfortauntely overwhelmed by some great strategy from Balmund and some bad luck from the Paralysis (with Serene Grace's effect too. Keep up the efforts hon and you'll win the next one I'm sure. Blaze receives 1 XP for participating in the battle. |

Balmund returns the exhausted Dunsparce back to her Pokéball. She had played enough for today, and she now needed a good rest and a bar of chocolate. "Good game!" Balmund then extends his hand towards his rival. "I'll definitely be looking forward for a rematch man! And thanks for reffing yet again Stacey!" He then waved to the dedicated referee before trekking back down the mesa. (Dunsparce levels up from Lv.10 to Lv.12!) |

Standing up, Eric ran over to the referee and his opponent. "Thanks for a great battle," he said, extending his arm to shake Balmund's. "You had an awesome strategy and really deserved the win. Yeah, we'll definitely have to have a rematch sometime. I'll learn from this and improve!" "And thanks for reffing, Stacey. You always do an amazing job with battles," Eric kindly inclined his head towards the ghostly woman. "Hope to see you both again sometime!" Turning away from the duo, Eric strode back across the mesa while reliving in his mind the epic battle that had taken place. OoC: Taking Blaze's 1 XP. Thanks!
