Croagunk (Kailu) (M)
Nature: Lonely (Attack increased by *, Defense decreased by *)

Type: Poison / Fighting
Poison STAB; immunity to Poison/Toxic, see and breath through smog/smokescreens/haze uninhibited. Able to use Wrap and Bind without losing focus. Superior senses in urban settings.

Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions of throwing/grappling moves. Superior reaction time in close quarters.

Abilities:
Anticipation: (Innate) This Pokemon is better at sensing dangerous attacks, and reduced the Base Attack Power from super-effective attacks, Selfdestruct, and Explosion by two (2).
Dry Skin: (Innate) This Pokemon has spongy, yet sensitive skin, causing it to burn in bright sunlight for damage but absorb water and heal damaged tissues in rain. This effect results in dealing 2 damage/action to this Pokemon in sunlight and recovering 2 HP/action in rain. In addition, the dry skin is very vulnerable to flames and the Base Attack Power of incoming Fire attacks is increased by 2. The Pokemon absorbs the damage of water attacks and recovers 25% of HP the damage that would have been inflicted.
Poison Touch (LOCKED): (Can be Disabled) This Pokemon's body is covered with a film of poison. Whenever it hits an opponent with a contact attack, that opponent has a 30% chance of being Poisoned.

-----------------------------------

Round 1: Clash!

Yaaaaay another battle! One side looks terrifying with a Poison team while the other seems a bit too pure for my likings. How will this battle go, only time will tell!

With the help of his lightness, Youma moves into combat first and attempts to Hypnotize Pengwin. It works! It works! And lo behold, Pengwin takes a nap for THREE FREAKING DARN ACTIONS! Uh I guess that means he technically doesn't exist for the round. Bye-bye! Verc stomps the ground in fury of her partner's sleep and rushes toward Youma in revenge. There she fuses with the shadow and swipes a quite mad claw that blows Youma in circles!!! Kailu helps support Youma from behind by jumping onto the unaware Verc and Cross Chopping her neck! Aha! It manages to break tons and tons of bones due to the sparkly (high) critical hit (ratio)! Gosh, isn't this so one-sided?

...

---

During action
Youma (Hypnosis with 87.29% Acc): [7 EN]
3 action sleep for Penqwin
Verc (Shadow Claw Youma): (7+4.5) x 1.5 = 17.25 ~ [17 DMG/5 EN]
Kailu (Cross Chop Verc): (10+3+3+4.5) = 20.5 ~ [21 DMG/6 EN]
Penqwin sleeps

After the success that is sleeping Penqwin forever, Youma decides to deal some damage and shocks Penqwin with a Thunderbolt!!! Verc, scared of everything, decides to just dig a hole and burrow away. Kailu... waits patiently in anticipation of Verc's arrival. And there she is! She pops out and smackles Kailu a new leg!!! However, the measly attack was so easy to absorb that Kailu just Counters it right back onto Verc for MASSIVE MASSIVE damage!

...

---

During action
Youma (Thunderbolt Penqwin): (10+1.5) x 1.5 = 17.25 ~ [17 DMG/7 EN]
Verc (Dig Kailu): (8-2+4.5) x 1.5 = 15.75 ~ [16 DMG/6 EN]
Kailu (Counters Verc): (16x1.5) = [24 DMG/14 EN]
Penqwin sleeps

At last we arrive to the final stage of the round. Youma decides that Verc's pathetic Shadow Claw's damage will be washes away and Giga Drains Penqwins life for his own!!! Mmm, juicy! Verc reddens with fury and jumps right onto Youma for a crunchy hit!!! Thinking that the foe has taken too much of a beating, Kailu takes this action lightly and fires some Poison Stings into Verc's body. It manages some damage, but no poison!

...

---

During action
Youma (Giga Drain Penqwin): (8+1.5) x 1.5 = 14.25 ~ [14 DMG/7 HEAL/12 EN]
Verc (Crunch Youma): (8+4.5) x 1.5 = 18.75 ~ [19 DMG/6 EN]
Kailu (Poison Sting Verc): (4+3+4.5) = 11.5 ~ [12 DMG/2 EN]
Penqwin sleeps

So far, it looks like TravelLog got completely jacked. Period. As a result, with the help of God, I am giving Verc a Swords Dance boost and Penqwin a Tail Glow boost. Use them well! (Although how much they will help I have no idea.)

-----------------------------------

Round 2: Crash!

Noticing the danger that is Pengwin, Youma attempts to destroy him as soon as possible. However, some odd power awakens within Penqwin and he's... Biding! The penquin takes the Giga Drain with terrible terrible strength and courage!!! No other penguin could have took that! Verc goes ahead and snaps onto Youma with desperate measures. Crunch! This isn't any regular crunch though - Verc is keeping his bite still on the pesky Ghost and places him directly in front of Kailu! When Kailu attempts to Cross Chop through... well... you know... how the arm actually goes through Youma? As in, right through? Yeah, it seems as if this "Youma wall" isn't really doing Verc any favor as the Cross Chop goes straight through Youma courtesy of the immunity and right toward Verc for a... uh... miss? lol stone edge accuracy

...

---

During action
Penqwin (Bide)
Youma (Giga Drain Penqwin): (8+1.5) x 1.5 = 14.25 ~ [14 DMG/7 HEAL/16 EN]
Verc (Crunch Youma): (8+4.5) x 1.5 = 18.75 + 3 ~ [22 DMG/10 EN]
Kailu (Cross Chop Verc): (10+3+4.5) = 17.5 ~ [18 DMG/6 EN] (MISS)

Youma decides to just hurt Penqwin more by firing a Thunderbolt at his face for some major damage! Kailu goes wild and smacks Verc with his Cross Chop, which actually hits! Luckily, Verc manages to survive the hit and Counter back for huge damage! As for Penqwin, well, he's continuing to Bide!

...

---

During action
Penqwin (Bide)
Youma (Thunderbolt Penqwin): (10+1.5) x 1.5 = 17.25 ~ [17 DMG/7 EN]
Kailu (Cross Chop Verc): (10+3+4.5) = 17.5 ~ [18 DMG/10 EN]
Verc (Counter Kailu): (18x1.5) = [27 DMG/15 EN]

Right off the bat, Penqwin decides to unleash his strength. The bide overwhelms one little creeper - Youma - and destroys all of his life force! "But wait! Isn't Bide a Normal-type move? It can't affect Youma! THIS IS BULLSHIT!" Yes, but Bide affects everything the same way, sorry. Rock and Steel Pokemon should resist it by that logic then! And there we go, a Youma as crippled as a false bird, falling from the air and fainting onto the ground. Ouch. For Verc, she's still alive! But she's not really ordered to do anything now that Youma has fainted so uh yeah. Well, there's Kailu going happily for the KO on Verc! A Cross Chop attack! There the arms slam onto the little aura creature and pummel him onto the ground, fainted! That seems to wrap up this round for sure!

...

---

During action
Penqwin (Unleash Bide on Youma): (17+14) x 2 = [62 DMG/37 EN]
Youma fainted!
Verc (Not ordered to attack Kailu)
Kailu (Cross Chop Verc): (10+3+4.5) = 17.5 ~ [18 DMG/14 EN]
Verc fainted!

[TravelLog]

Dig~Drill Peck~Dig
If he uses counter use Yawn~chill x2 based on the number of counters. (I.e. counter A1 but nowhere else results in Yawn~Drill Peck~Dig, Counter A1 AND A2 results in Yawn~chill~Dig)

[Engineer Pikachu]

well, it seems that biding penguins are quickly making their way up the threat list...

Throw Verc at Prinplup - Cross Chop - Cross Chop

With any luck, having a corpse flung into your face will deal damage and flinch?
IF (This wouldn't flinch and deal more damage than Fake Out) THEN (Use Fake Out instead)

Round 3: Smash!

With their partners out of the ring, it's up to them to save the planet! Oh oops, wrong channel. Anyway, Kailu seems like he's one dirty frog. In fact, look! He has lightning smackled Pengwin with a Fake Out! Oh boring! Look what he did - he flinched! See me after class.

...

---

During action
Kailu (Fake Out Pengwin): (4+0) = [4 DMG/4 EN]
Pengwin: flinched

Now it's time to get serious! Kailu, still close-by, jumps Pengwin and chops with a cross! Or Cross Chop maybe. This doesn't really dent the big boss Pengwin hard enough as he retaliates with a cork-screwing Drill Peck! It rotates on Mach 9999 and rapes Kailu through and through!

...

---

During action
Kailu (Cross Chop Pengwin): (10+3+0) = [13 DMG/6 EN]
Pengwin (Drill Peck Kailu): (8-2+3) x 1.5 = [14 DMG/6 EN]

Not seeing any other alternative, Kailu continues to Cross Chop Pengwin up with precision, but it's too early to say he's dead meat! Penqwin just burrows underground like a pimping mole and comes right under Kailu for a Dig attack!

...

Round 4: Finale!

Kailu executes the easier to use Poison Sting compared to a full-powered super duper Hydro Pump and manages to tickle Pengwins skin with poison needles before anything else happens. It manages (4+3+0) = [7 DMG/2 EN] so Pengwin survives with 1 HP! No poison too! So that means... what exactly? Pengwin's blasting himself into the air with his Hydro Pump on the ground! He's flyyyyyiiiiing! ! ! ! . . . . . . until Kailu just fires projectile Poison Stings and causes him to fall and faint. :( (and no he doesn't fall on him, not like he was on top of Kailu!) Even though he's fainted, Pengwin's still falling from the sky! Sheesh, how high did he go? Must've done some drugs before he got here!

And we never know when he's going to land.
