King Serperior vs. Zhengtann! Arrival of a mysterious monk!

Zheng walked into the ASB Standard Arena - one amongst many. He'd seen quite a few in his travels. Knowing that he'd likely find the information he needs in the common room, he turned down that alleyway without hesitation - all such Arenas are designed the same, so much so that he could walk into one and out of it with his eyes close without bumping into anyone. All it takes is a clear, mindful awareness, after all.

Stepping through the doorway, an unfamiliar voice greets him straightaway-

"Hey there... Whoa wait, what's with the robe and haircut?"

<"Hmm? This is the appearance the my brothers and I take upon. Do we know each other in this life?">

139.gif

"... This life? I don't even... Hahaha it's okay. I'm bored and I could use a battle. How 'bout it? Yo Ben, we got a newcomer here! Let's have a welcoming committee!"

"Say what? Look, I'll call you later, El (snaps phone shut) Oh hi, you're a... Buddhist, right? I met a few monks back at ... (shudders)"

<"Are you alright?">

ladfinal.png

"Yeah. Not your fault - just that remembering that place brings some other memories. Not about the monks though. So back to business - you two want a go, I'm in!"

At the center of the Arena...

"Hey, good luck! Give your best shot, 'cause I won't hold back!"

Alakazam [Darth Plagueis] (Male)
Nature: Timid (+15% Speed; +22%acc)

Type:
Psychic: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.

Abilities:
Synchronize: (Innate)Pokemon with this ability mentally link their condition to an opposing Pokemon and pass on any status inflicted on them to their foe. Due to their body structure, Poison-types cannot be poisoned and Fire-types cannot be burned in this manner.
Inner Focus: (Innate)When an opponent attempts to flinch this Pokemon, it stands firm and continues its attack. If it has another ability that would be activated by flinching, that ability activates.
Magic Guard: (innate)This Pokemon is infused with a powerful psycho-electric energy that makes it immune to damage from Spikes, Stealth Rock, Hail, Sandstorm, Leech Seed, Poisoning, and Burn. It can still attack itself in confusion, but will not take any damage from it. Additionally, the energy protects the Pokemon from its own reckless recoil attacks. Toxic still increases in damage each round, although if Magic Guard is in effect the Pokemon will not suffer any damage. Life Orb recoil is not negated.

ZhengTann:
Fraxure(*) Natsu (M)
611.png

Just like his namesake, Natsu is an orphan, having no recollection of his parents’ fate. As such, Natsu loneliness made him grew to be very independent, to the point where he will erupt in great battle fury whenever his freedom is threatened. However, he is very much attached to his trainer, Zt, looking up to him as a partner as they search the wilds for Natsu’s direct lineage. Natsu doesn’t sharpen his tusks on a regular basis – unlike some Axews, he prefers a thicker tusk, even though they break off at pretty much the same intervals due to his affinity for intense fights. Natsu is always in a fierce competition with Gray, often challenging the other into mock spars, but the rivalry comes with respect and loyalty towards each other too. Natsu fights with the ferocity that comes with every Dragon – by fang and claw, for the very survival of his world and existence.

Beaten down at every turn never shakes Natsu's confidence - to him, a loss is just another step towards being stronger. Having new members to the team suddenly wrought certain changes to his fighting spirit. Willing to forsake his own safety for that of his friends, Natsu's newfound family is his main source of strength to improve himself and keep going.

Nature: Adamant (+1 Atk, -1 SpA)

Type:
Dragon Type: Dragon STAB; more in touch with legendary or special auras in arenas. Able to use Thrash without losing focus.

Abilities:
Ability 1: Mold Breaker
Type: Innate
Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)

Ability 2: Rivalry
Type: Innate
This Pokemon has a primal response to competition and mating, increasing the Base Attack Power of all its attacks by two (2) when it attacks an opponent of the same gender, and decreasing the power of all its attacks by two (2) when it attacks an opponent of the opposite gender.

Ability 3: Unnerve (DW unlocked)
Type: Innate
The Pokemon's presence causes immense tension in the opponent, preventing them from eating a held Berry. Natural Gift may still be used.

Bolderdash - Erza (F)
Gempre2-1.png

A swordsman wields the blade with graceful precision, just as Erza uses her attacks with dangerous beauty. She walked in on one of Gray and Natsu’s brawls, and the resulting free-for-all wore on for half a day before Zheng can subdue her with a Pokeball. Unknowingly for her, that fight left a lasting impression on the two – they’re cautious almost to the point of fearful whenever in her company since then. Wendy and Charla looks up to her as a role model, though, and it was Erza who took care of them, even though she was newer to the family.

Chargestone Cave is the hallowed ground for all of Erza's ancestry, yet she decides that she will withhold her instincts to evolve for the sake of her family. Small but close-knit, everyone looks up to Erza as the big sister, even though her quirks with boys sometimes astonished the girls and make the shy ones (like Juvia and Wendy) blush. After a series of long, drawn out clashes with Mirajane, both of them seemed to have settled to a cordial relationship, mutually agreeing to avoid mentioning the past conflicts, opting instead to look after the girls together and knock the boys down a peg or two when they get too loud.

Nature: Modest (+1 SpA, -1 Atk)

Type:
Rock type: Rock STAB; Take 2 less damage from all special attacks during Sandstorm. Able to use Sand Tomb without losing focus.

Abilities:
Ability 1: Levitate
Type: Innate
This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading the all seismic moves. Earth Power will have 3 less BAP. Dig and Dive can still strike a Levitating Pokemon, but only if their user is over Size Class 4, has Levitate, is 3.5m or larger, or is a Flying-type. Other Ground moves can still hit.

Ability 2: Technician
Type: Innate
This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally deal 6 or below base damage to have their base damage multiplied by 1.5. The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) damage, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2).

Ability 3: Mold Breaker (DW Unlocked)
Type: Innate
Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)

Kirlia - Lucy (F)
281.png

Born without a family in the wild, Lucy’s life has been fraught with peril of being hunted and bullied by most other wild, stronger Pokemon. One such incident left her under severe shock from poison by an unknown aggressive Poison-type. Had a human not happened by, she would’ve died or at best, crippled for life. Luckily, Zheng was the second person to found her, called by a fellow trainer who was looking for mushrooms in that region. Together they saved the Ralts, and after a brief discussion Zheng named her Lucy and brought her into his family. Gray was the first to be able to contact directly with her, but it was through efforts and enthusiasm of the whole gang that brought her out of trauma and into life again.

Despite her growing strength, Lucy still has much distaste for open, direct conflict - hence she is very much like Wendy in that regard, learning the arts of healing and support, using direct attacks as distraction rather than full-on assault. Despite that, she gets on quite well with most of the brawling boys - they respect her decision, and will not hesitate to take her side against any foes who dared to so much as insult her. In turn, Lucy is the logical voice of the whole family - her ideas always astute outside of battle, with her innate mental capabilities only enhance her charms and perception.

Nature: Relaxed (+1 Def, -15% Speed, -10% Evasion)

Type:
Psychic type: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank.

Abilities:
Ability 1: Synchronize
Type: Innate
This Pokemon can mentally link their condition to an opposing Pokemon and pass on any status inflicted on them to their foe. Poison-types cannot be poisoned and Fire-types cannot be burned in this manner.

Ability 2: Trace
Type: Can be Activated
When entering into battle, this Pokemon can copy an ability on one of its opponents for 6 EN. The Ability remains on the Pokemon for six (6) actions. Trace can be reused with an action later in battle for 5 EN.Wonder Guard cannot be Traced.

Ability 3: Telepathy (DW Unlocked)
Type: Innate
This Pokemon creates a mental link with its allies in multiple allies, allowing it to avoid taking damage from attacks that affect the whole field like Earthquake and Surf.

Castform - Mirajane (F)
351.png

Mirajane is a sweet girl, always smiling at everyone, even though she sometimes do gets into fights with Erza when the latter is not busy pounding Natsu. She helped Elfman overcome his innate fear to swimming by teaching him patiently in Lake Lucid. As a result, the latter treated her as an elder sister, always protective of her while respecting her opinions on every turn. In turn, Mirajane always stays near Elfman for guidance, often perching atop his head on journeys and summoning sunny skies to invigorate the Numel. Despite her small stature, no one else in the family looks upon her as the one to be protected - Mirajane is very capable of looking after herself, usually resolving conflicts around her in a diplomatic way but more than willing to respond with force if necessary.

Nature: Modest (+1 SpA, -1 Atk)

Type (weather-dependent):
Normal type: Normal STAB; adapt comfortably to any surrounding after 3 actions. Able to use Outrage and Thrash without losing focus.
Sunny Fire type: Fire STAB; immune to burn, emit a low glow in dark places. Superior senses in volcanic or bushfire areas.
Rainy Water type: Water STAB; Can breathe and have excellent mobility when underwater.
Snowy Ice type: Ice STAB; immune to freezing and Sheer Cold, no vision loss or damage in Hail or snowstorm conditions, perfectly accurate and 30% Protect breaking Blizzard in Hail. Superior senses and mobility in frozen caves and other frigid arenas.


Ability:
Forecast
Type: Innate
Mirajane is adept at changing and adapting to the weather, granting her immunity to all forms of weather. Mirajane can also change the typing of Weather Ball accordingly, and take different forms during Sunlight, Rain, and Hail. The Energy Cost of all weather changing moves Weather Ball is reduced to 6.

Sophisticated Fight

ladfinal.png

Goooooooood evening, ladies and gentlemen! Tonight's fight pits Hoenn Champion Steven Stone against newcomer...uh, correct me if I'm wrong - Jeng Tan?

TQuZNRP.gif

Zheng Tann.

ladfinal.png

Thanks. Anyway, it's a doubles battle tonight - Steve opening up with a Servine named Storm King and a Lairon dubbed Darth Vader, while Zheng begins with a Fraxure named Natsu and a Kirlia named Lucy.

The Storm King gets the first move, living up to his name and engulfing Lucy in a Storm of Leaves, but Natsu gets a counterattack in by slicing him with his tusks in a cross motion. Lucy WAS gonna do a reenactment of episode 3's volcano scene with Vader, but since he Protected himself, she directs her Will-o-wisp at that Servine instead.

Deciding that it's probably a good idea to shut Lucy down, Storm King whips her with a Leaf Tornado, dropping her accuracy! Of course, neither her nor her Fraxure companion will have any of this, and Natsu rakes him with Dragon Claw while the Kirlia herself blasts a Signal Beam at him. Meanwhile, slow and steady Vader Smashes Lucy with his rock-hard Head for massive damage!

Storm King conjures another devastating Leaf Storm on Lucy, who tries to freeze Steve's mons with an Icy Wind...but that Leaf Tornado last action comes back to bite her in the ass and misses the attack altogether! Although Natsu tries to take the Servine out with X-Scissor, it's not enough, and Lucy falls to Vader's Double-edge, putting the score at 1-0 Stone!

Despite this, Storm King is still critically injured and Natsu remains untouched, meaning Zheng could easily turn this around. Will he? Find out after the break!

Round 2: KER-TURNABOUT!

ladfinal.png

Welcome back, ladies and gents! As you'll recall, Lucy the Kirlia got force-choked by Vader the Aggron, leaving our monk to send out his next mon - a Boulderdash by the name of Erza!

...who, by the way, is a helluva lot faster than the Storm King, so the Servine Protects himself against the inevitable onslaught. And sure enough, Zheng's Boulderdash slashes at Steve with a Heat Wave...that Vader somehow manages to avoid! Damn, talk about bad luck! Taking a cue from his foe's actions, Natsu decides to Protect his own ally, and sure enough, Steven's sith lord rams his Iron Head into an invisible wall!

Once again, Erza's speed gives Zheng the upper hand, blasting a Flamethrower at the Storm King and giving the monk his first KO of the battle! Natsu follows up on his partner's maneuver by slamming his Aquatic Tail at Vader, who retaliates by Dragon Rushing him.

With his partner down, Steve's Aggron can only wait for his turn as Erza smashes him with Earth Power, and Rise into the air via electromagnetism. All the while, Natsu gathers a bunch of crap around the arena and fashions a crude Substitute out of it.

Well, it's now 1 and 1, and it looks like Zheng's got his turnabout. Now can he hold it? Find out after the break!

...Fuck.

*One ambulance later...*

Well, I guess that's it for that fight. Sorry about that.

Will Mr. Stone be all right?

Well, if what the paramedics said are anything to go by, he should be fine before long...can't say the same for the chief, though...

ladfinal.png

So, what brings you here anyway? Do you intend to stay?

<I travelled as a missionary, like my brothers before me. And yes, if I could, I would stay here, if the conditions are met.>

ladfinal.png

Personally, I'd like you to stay, if possible - you'd be a great boon to the locals. As for the conditions, I'm sure we could arrange that. I know of a very rich young man who'd be able to help you- ah, here he comes. Oy, dogfish!
MOvHv.gif

I came around hearing what happened to King S there. Say, why did you call me, Lad?

ladfinal.png

Just wanted to introduce you to bhante Zheng Tann here- I got the name right this time, didn't I?

<Yes, a pleasure to meet you.>

After a lengthy explanation about what transpired during the day, Zheng laid out what he would have needed to stay - a place to build and preach is what every missionary requires, after all.

MOvHv.gif

So you're asking that from me, huh? Yeah right, leave it to the platinum card holder to be the philanthropist.

ladfinal.png

Sorry, what was that?

MOvHv.gif

No, no, nothing at all. I have a place that should suit your needs, bhante. If you will, I can show you the way. In fact, I think I can even get you a helper if you needed it - there's a guy who owed me a huge favour after he took off with a whole crate of my champagne.

<A drunkard?>

MOvHv.gif

Nah, just a friend of mine. He's a Buddhist, though, so what he told me. So I think he would jump at the opportunity to meet you. Here his number, his name's Tanner. People call him Zac Tee for short.
TQuZNRP.gif

Thank you.

As Ben waved the pair goodbye, something struck him.

Tanner... Zac Tee... Zheng Tann.... Wait, what...?
