Arena: whatever challenger or ref wants

Gonna try out a new thing here, you can bring whatever poke you want although something that isnt going to just sweep me in one round would be excellent. Also I would like Items to be on for this fight if thats not a problem

Since neither of these two picked an arena, I get to do so! Happy SoS be happy... That means you get to have fun at the 11th Street Lot, an arena of my own design...

Arena: The 11th Street Lot - The iconic location from Rent, where Maureen performs the seriously what the fuck number, Over The Moon (fo shizzle, look it up, be baffled.) It consists of a small performance stage with a microphone and several monitors, and the lot itself, where several bums mill around. At the end of the round, there is a 33% chance of them beginning to moo, which has a 20% chance of inflicting intense confusion to each Pokémon. If a stray attack hits a bum (at the ref and RNG's discretion), they will begin to riot, seeing it as police brutality. The effects this will have on the battle, I leave to the ref's discretion, but passive damage and lowered accuracy, plus a distinct difficult to co-operate sounds logical to me. And the chance of mooing doubles.

Lady Salamence, if you want to give Van Pig an item, now is your last chance to do so.

[Lady Salamence]

no thanks

[Ragnarokalex]

Dont forget that since I issued the challenge that you order first

[Lady Salamence]

I thought it is the other way around"?

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Nope, challenger orders first, so that's you, Lady Salamence.

Bump, were hitting DQ......

Stats: 0
Status: Fine
Actions: Double Team (4 clones) - Sunny Day - Flare Blitz

The battle begins with Gage flipping the bird at Van Pig, enraging him into only being able to attack, meaning his attempts to create illusory copies and make the sun shine, utterly worthless. This means Gage is free to inject Van Pig with a deadly toxin, that will only intensify. God I love Toxic. Gage follows up by flipping a coin straight into Van Pig's eye! Where did he get that? Who knows. But it transforms itself into a TC for Ragnarokalex's use after the battle... But then Gage's Amulet Coin glows brightly, causing the TC to split into two, in some bizarre meiosis (fuck yeah A2 Biology). I think I'm seeing Ragnarokalex's plan here... But Van Pig, frustrated at his inability to do anything significant this round, crashes into Gage whilst ON FIRE. KA-BLAM. There goes a fifth of his HP! As for the bums around the arena, they're doing nothing... FOR NOW! Now, let's look at the standings...

Meanwhile back at the 11th Street Lot... Gage starts off by forming a mental link with Van Pig, and temporarily erasing that nasty Flare Blitz from his memory. Smart move. Van Pig responds with a Magnitude attack, not quite an Earthquake, but still pretty hard! Magnitude 7 in fact. But this may not have been a bright move on Lady Salamence's part, as the bums do NOT react kindly to the shockwave!

"Police brutality, police brutality!"

"We're not gonna pay rent! Cause everything is rent!" Looks like the chance of them becoming restless and mooing just went up 10%. In addition, one of the more drunken bums staggers over to Van Pig, and smacks him upside the head with his bottle of Jack Daniels (I did WHAT with my sister?!). Goddamnit, where's Maureen to calm these guys down? Sensing danger, Van Pig tries to set up a protective shield, but he's still under the effects of Taunt, and cannot! This allows Gage to once again, flick a coin into his eyes. More TC for Ragnarokalex once we're done here! Gage follows up by blasting Van Pig from below, with the almighty power of the earth itself. Van Pig tries another Magnitude, but this time it is slightly weaker. Magnitude 6, exactly. Again, the bums do not like this, and the chance of them protesting and mooing rises again! The same drunken bum smacks Van Pig, and grumbles "Cuh dat ow..." I think he meant "Cut that out?"
