[Steel] Steel Meets Fist: Kaxtar Challenges the Steel Gym! [LEADER WINS!]
 
In a strange turn of events, another Gym Leader faces off against the Leader of Steel. Can C$FP, the Iron Trainer, hope to defeat this master of Fighting?

Such harsh weather. The cold of Russia really is the wrathful mistress the stories say...

Good thing this is all just a simulation! (At least for the audience; the trainers and their Pokemon are feeling all the effects in the VR room...)

Welcome trainers and spectators to a rare (or not) ASB treat: a clash between 2 Gym Leaders! The famous master of Fighting-types, Kaxtar, has decided to challenge the ruler of the house, C$FP to a magnificent battle. Does this mysterious and powerful challenger stand a chance against a master of Steel Pokemon? Let's take a quick look at their teams, first.


C$FP:
Magnezone

Metagross

Lucario

Kitsunoh

Steelix

Bronzong

Registeel

Empoleon



Kaxtar:
Infernape

Tomohawk

Arghonaut



Although Kaxtar's Fighting types are powerful and C$FP's Steel Types are weak to their attacks, Kaxtar must contend with C$FP's advantages as a Gym Leader and the challenges of the arena. Can this brave (foolish?) challenger break the steel bodies of these Pokemon along with their spirit? Or will his fists of fury fall to the iron resolve?

I am still a bit surprised to see you didn't start with Infernape. Anyway, let's go, Electro!

A flash of steel; a blur of motion as fists and metallic bodies collide. These are the sights in this fateful meeting of two trainers.


Beginning the battle, the challenger sends out his Tomohawk, Chinook. While the strange bird (lion?) flies around, C$FP sends out what may be a hard counter to the Pokemon, his Magnezone, Electro.

Seeing that his foe is trying to prepare for the coming rounds with a Rain Dance, Kaxtar orders Chinook to grab ahold of Magnezone and perform a Sky Drop attack. Chinook brings his heavy steel foe high into the air, preventing him from doing much of anything, and then drops him to the ground, dealing very little damage.

Having successfully prevented his foe from improving his electrical powers, Chinook fires a powerful Earth Power to crash into his foe from below.
Electro seems prepared for this though, and seems to be harnessing the energy provided by the Tomohawk's attack into his Mirror Coat. It then fires back all the energy stored at the Tomohawk, leaving her severely injured.

Oddly enough, Chinook doesn't seem phased by the attack, and she even feels the need to nonchalantly Yawn at Magnezone. As we all know, yawning is quite contagious and, upon seeing his foe do so, Electro feels the need to make an odd combination of beeps and whirs that come as close to a yawn as a machine can really get.
Feeling a bit drowsy, but still ready to fight, Electro calls down a terrible Thunder attack to strike his foe with lightning. Somehow, this normally wildly inaccurate attack manages to hit the Tomohawk. Maybe she shouldn't be falling asleep in the middle of a battle?


This battle is just heating up folks, so stay tuned!

As a creation of steel toys with a bird of prey, a slight lull in the intense action occurs...


Welcome back, dear audience! I'm sure the Pokemon are just as happy to get back to the action as we are!

Tomohawk begins the round by Protecting against any attack Electro may throw against her. However, her attack is wasted as the Magnezone simply Teleports back into its Poke Ball quickly, reappearing moments later, cured of its drowsiness. I feel I spoke to soon about excitement...

The next set of actions doesn't seem to be too thrilling either. Chinook merely rest her wings and takes a Roost on the ground to heal herself, while Electro sets up a Light Screen to protect from any special attacks used by Chinook.

For how dull those last actions were, they sure came in handy in the last set of actions, as Chinook fires another Earth Power at Electro that deals significantly less damage thanks to the Magnezone's Light Screen.
This is immediately followed by Electro charging itself up to perform a Volt Switch that narrowly misses knocking out Chinook after she is buffeted by shrapnel and suffers recoil from her attack.


This next round is bound to set the tone for the rest of the match. Can Chinook go out with a bang? Or will her defeat be relegated to a mere whimper as Electro continues to dominate Kaxtar's team?...

Nice work, Electro! This is just beautiful! Surely you will be able to get me the upper-hand against whatever Kaxtar sends out next (coughcoughInfernapecough, but maybe Kaxtar wants to surprise me).

P.S. In the post round it shouldn't say Magnezone is drowsy or that Electro still has -1 Atk (not that it matters), and it should mention that Light Screen is up (don't worry about it, I forget stuff and/or get lazy a lot when I ref)

The challenger's first Pokemon falls. Does this mean an unbeatable advantage for the brave warrior?


Chinook bravely takes a bow as she exits the stage, spreading Stealth Rocks as she does so.
Meanwhile, Electro Protects against nothing in particular.

Finally, the shrapnel finishes off the poor, battered Tomohawk, prompting Kaxtar to send out his next Pokemon.

The deafening whir of machines drowns out the cries of the battling Pokemon within this cruel factory.


Seeing the enemy Magnezone is going for an Explosion attack, Infernape uses Fake Out, surprising his opponent enough to stop its attack.

The Infernape doesn't wait for his opponent's move this turn, as he strikes the Magnezone head-on with a Fire Punch.
The flaming fist is enough to wound Electro gravely, but the Magnezone takes his chance with the enemy near to pulse a Thunder Wave into Infernape. The blast has damaged her nervous system, slowing her down and making it possible for her to seize up at any moment.

Electro again charges up for an Explosion, and Infernape again uses Fake Out. Unfortunately for the fiery monkey, Magnezone remains unflinched and its attack succeeds, blowing itself and Infernape sky high.

Infernape escapes from the blast looking worse for the wear, but Electro has fainted from its attack...

A shadow stalks its foe onto the battlefield. How will the fiery challenger deal with this?


Slinking onto the battlefield, Big Poe suffers some minor damage from the Stealth Rocks on the edge of the arena.

Un-phased by this bothersome damage, Kitsunoh begins the match by summoning a fearsome Earthquake. The tremor rips through the ground beneath Infernape dealing heavy damage.
Not wanting to be outperformed, the ailing monkey conjures up all of its inner flame to launch a focused Blast Burn. Despite being weakened by the cold, the fiery blast deals intense damage to Big Poe.

Kitsunoh may seem slightly less confident than it did last round, but its Bulldoze attack strikes the earth around Infernape with enough force to bring the ape to its last reserves.
It seems the power of Kitsunoh's attacks may be affecting Infernape, as it becomes fully paralyzed and is unable to move...

Seeing its chance, Big Poe strikes the ground yet again, creating another massive Earthquake to finish off the now-on-the-ground Infernape. Talk about kicking your foe while (s)he's down!

Can the gym challenger, overcome such an extreme disadvantage? Not even the fates know for sure...


The challenger, Kaxtar, sends out his last Pokemon, an Arghonaut named Pirate Man in his hope to defeat Kitsunoh.

Seeing his foe charge up a Waterfall attack that could prove disastrous, Big Poe decides to craft a light Substitute to soak up the damage.
The doll manages to just barely hang on as the water rushes over it, surviving to block another attack.

Kitsunoh takes a less reactionary approach on the second action, firing a Will-O-Wisp to cripple Pirate Man in the rounds to come.
Enticed by the Kitsunoh's trickery, Arghonaut also attempts to inflict him with a status. He does so with a Yawn to make Big Poe drowsy. This Yawn fails to elicit a reaction from the ghost Pokemon, though, as the tiny substitute was the only witness to his attack.

Seeing his attempt at tricks fail, Pirate Man goes back to his tried-and-true "hit things until they stop moving" strategy with another Waterfall. His attack manages to destroy Kitsunoh's substitute, but does not damage Big Poe.
After biding his time, Kitsunoh unleashes a horrible screeching that could, in some cultures, be considered music. The Perish Song afflicts both Big Poe and Pirate Man, ensuring that they will both faint soon...
