Default 1v1 Flora vs Berserker Lord

On a poorly lit backstreet in the armpit of some dodgy city suburb. Cars fill the parking spaces, and their owners sit around nearby - a haphazard colelction of misfits, all manner of gangsters and thugs.
From both ends of the street, two new cars drive in - taxis in fact. The taxis meet in the middle, and their passengers get out. Eye contact between the two newcomers is almost immediate, and the shifty crowd gathers around in anticipation - it's time for a pokemon battle!
Flora sends out the first Pokemon - Tearra the Drilbur!
Drilbur

Tearra sifts her hands in order to reflect the light from the streetlamps off her shiny metallic claws and into interesting patterns - a show off really.
And the crowd goes beserk! Incidentally, so does flora's challenger. Beserker Lord then sends out his Pokemon, a Nohface named Eyes.
Nohface

This shifty looking ghost type seems eerily at home on this dark street. In fact, some of the gangsters appear to know him somehow...
Two gangsters then beat up the cab drivers and hijack the taxis, leaving the field clear and ready for the battle to come.

Ok Nohface, lets take care of this mole!

First, let off a loud Yawn to disorentate her. Then Meteor Mash the mole right into a car, then Iron Defence to help whether her assults.

Hehe, had a feeling I'd be facing a Nohface. T_T But no matter! Let's go Tearra (using Sand Force)! You can tear him apart later, because right now, he's going to Yawn at you! Use Dig to avoid the attack, and while digging, attack! He's such a fake; Levitate won't save him from the attack! (Well, I've seen in threads where Levitate Pokemon get hit from Dig; additionally Levitate's own description says "other Ground moves can still hit". Dig seems to be an upward attack anyhow.) About the Meteor Mash, uh, yeah, weaken it with a Iron Defense! Hopefully you won't get smashed to a car with this! Then about his Iron Defense, set up a Sandstorm to make your attacks a little more stronger next time around!

Dig (Attack after Yawn is used) - Iron Defense - Sandstorm

btw, love the pictures drawn inside hahaha!

Pokemon


Tearra begins by diving into a pothole - no wait, it's creating the pothole by burrowing into the road! Eyes Yawns lazily, but the grinding of gravel underground prevents Drilbur from hearing it. Drilbur then resurfaces and strikes Nohface with Dig! He seems tired however; evidently the road is harder to dig through than Drilbur is accustomed to.
As such, she decides to take a defensive appraoch with Iron Defense. Eyes, not wanting a lull in the action decides to amp things up a bit. Using a powerful Meteor Mash, he punches Tearra with colossal force. The hideous sound of metal hitting metal causes the crowd to close their eyes and cover their eyes in pain. By the time they return to their senses, it is clear that Drilbur has only been knocked back a little thanks to his defenses, while Nohface has rebounded off him and taken recoil damage.
Nohface then decides that maybe defense isn't such a bad idea buffs up his own defenses using Iron Defense. Only afterwards does he realise Tearra had already anticpated this - the violent cloud of sand surrounding the area indicates that she has conjured a Sandstorm. How she intends to use this to her advantage is unseen by Eyes, since he is immune to its abrasive touch, but Drilbur seems confident.
Someone, apparently unhappy with all the racket, leans out of their 4th floor window from a building and fires some potshots from a handgun, but only hits one of the gangsters.

Cool, that wasn't too bad! I know the road's hurting, Tearra, but what else can we do? Once you get more digging lessons around here, it'll stop hurting! You'll get used to it!

Let's keep pounding that worm thing with Dig (Attack), then Hone Claw next so you don't tire yourself out so fast, then Dig (Attack) again!

Should Nohface use Yawn when you use Hone Claw, replace that action with Dig (Attack) because you can't do much... (man that typing is lame!)

Dig (Attack) - Hone Claws / Dig (Attack if Yawn is used here) - Dig (Attack)

Ok, now that I know Yawning is the worst idea I can do at the moment, lets try something else! First, hit the car next to you with a Meteor Mash to get rid of it (hope the owner doesn't mind), then Get on the sidewalk to negate this moles Digging. Finally, Meteor Mash Drillbur as soon as she comes up from her Dig!

Pokemon


Tearra jumps back into the pothole it previously emerged from and pops up right in front of Eyes for another Dig attack! Nohface ignores this offensive however, and is if the battle doesn't simply Meteor Mashes the car behind it. The car is destroyed and the reultant damage deals 5 damage to both parties, and leaves behind a smoldering pile of wreckage.
Still in the air after bursting from the ground, Drilbur uses her recently toughened skin to sharpen and Hone her Claws as she keeps here eyes on Eyes as he climbs over the wreckage and onto the sidewalk, where a gangster offers Nohface a joint and gives him some money that he was apprently owed...
Feeling sharp and strong, Tearra lands straight back into the most recent pothole and re-emerges beneath Nohface for yet another Dig. Eyes isn't just going to take this one though and responds harshly with a Meteor Mash which knocks Drilbur on to the road raises his own attack!
Nohface's Gangster friend joins the fray, following Drilbur and kicking her while she's down - no way to treat a lady! A rival gang member however comes to her rescue, who shoots several times at the crude thug and also hits Nohface. The injured man fires back, and a shootout begins, and poor Tearra gets caught in the crossfire! Luckily the two gangsters manage to incapacitate each other and the shooting ceases.

Ok, this situation is not looking good at all, but i'll keep at it anyway (How does bullets hit a ghost anyway?)

Ok Eyes, Iron Defence right away so you camn hopefully take a couple of more hits, now Meteor Mash Drillbur twice.

I can't help but LOL at what has happened to the arena, hahaahaha! This is already so entertaining! (TY LJ!) As for bullets hitting ghosts, well, bullet is metal and metal/steel hits ghosts! Ta-da!

Anyway, we're going to do something really cool (and hopefully it works)! Tearra, using the power of the sand running around, create some rocks upon the air just like if you were to start a Rock Slide aimed at Eyes, but don't make it fall too fast! Immediately after you summon a Rock Slide that's raining upon Eyes, jump up and Dig through the Rock Slide right onto Eyes as fast as possible! That should get that super effective hit in! Afterward, run back to the streets and jump aka Dig into one of the created manholes to dodge that attack BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!

Rock Slide and Dig combo (Form Rock Slide in the sandstormy air toward Eyes, jump upward, and Dig through the Rock Slide that will crumble down while "Air Digging" onto Eyes) - Null Turn (aka recharging from combo) - Dig (Dodge, go back up on the streets after dodging Meteor Mash)

Oh yeah, and just to be clear, I didn't order Tearra to step onto the sidewalk. So basically, she's going to jump off Eyes's head right back onto the street.

Flora, I'm not suite sure what the point of the combo is, nor do I know what Yawn you think you are trying to avoid. Nonetheless...
Pokemon

Drilbur decides to try something tricky, beginning with a strange form of Rock Slide while Nohface bolsters his defensive abilities further with Iron Defense, which deflects some of the rocks into Tearra.
Tearra then, perhaps for no other reason than to show off, Digs through the still falling rocks and strikes her foes right between the Eyes for a critical hit! On his last legs (or lack thereof) Eyes throws off a desperate Meteor Mash.
Suddenly scared for no apparent reason, Drilbur dives back into the hole again and, using Dig once more, reappears somwhere up the street, avoiding another meteor Mash from Eyes.
It then becomes apparent why Drilbut ran away; a new group of gangsters arrives from Nohface's end of the street and begin a brawl with the thugs already present. Eyes gets caught in the middle, and doesn't make it out again.
This leaves Tearra to wear the Tiara of victory! However, Tearra is then mugged and has the Tiara stolen...

All in a days work guys. :D
Drilbur gets a KO counter (even though it was technically a gangster that took his last 2HP) and both players get two Trainer Counters. I get ref tokens and shit.

Yeah, I orignally had Yawn as my thrid action, but decided to switch to another Meteor Mash because I doubted Yawn would do anything.

Yeah, I guess the combo was a bit too abstract. I could just imagine it working in my head though...

As for the Yawn, well, I was pretty sure I saw a "Yawn" for BL's third action, but I think it was edited, and so I edited to reflect that.

We both get 1 EC, MC, and DC as well, right?

Nevertheless, that was quick and efficient. Thanks LJ and thanks BL for being my opponent! Good game!
