Ragnarokalex, AOPSUser, SubwayJ, and Akela, in the Realm of the Forgotten Demon King; Open for Posts

A call went out, and four trainers recieved it.

In a graveyard, a ghost seeking to finish its unfinished business with its Aurumoth partner stumbles upon a pilliar of darkness that wasn't in the graveyard before. A Natu nearby nods to him, and the ghost dives down into a nearby grave, bringing up a sword. The ghost grins again, and charges into the darkness, his Aurumoth following. The pair suddenly vanish, and the Natu teleports away.




Moments later, another trainer, abet a living one, in a distant building is practicing swinging a staff with a Dusknoir gloomily watching on. Suddenly, a pilliar of darkness appears in the middle of the room, driving the trainer back. A Natu appears next to him, watching. With a frown visable on his face, the trainer stomps out of the room before returning with a huge sword instead of the staff. He motions towards his Pokémon to follow, and both of them enter the dark pilliar, vanishing.

The Natu teleports away again.





At a distant temple to Arceus, another trainer sits and prays to atone for his methods of worshiping Arceus. Next to him, a Revenankh quickly taps his shoulder, pointing at a Natu that suddenly appeared next to him. As the man looks up, a pilliar of darkness appears at the temple entrance, a low hum echoing from it. The man points at the darkness, whispering to his Pokémon, and the Revenankh floats into it, followed by the man himself. Both suddenly disappear.

And once again the Natu teleports.




In a distant cave, the Natu appears and startles a man swinging a sword next to an Exploud, who shouts in response. The Natu instantly teleports away, and a pilliar of darkness appears in a corner. The man glances at the darkness, and gives a shout, charging into the pillar, grinning as his Exploud follows. The two suddenly disappear.

After a few moments, the Natu appears in the cave again next to the pillar, and nods in satisfaction before teleporting away.





On another world, four pillars of darkness appear momentarily before receding, leaving four trainers and their Pokémon standing, looking at each other. There is a *splish* as SubwayJ takes a step, and everyone notices their surroundings.

Though there is solid ground beneath their feet, a thin layer of water is on the surface. Faint clouds float through the air around the four trainers, but other than that, there is nothing. The plain of water stretches in all directions as far as the eyes can see, with nothing interupting it, except... a black pillar of darkness appeared in the near distance, quickly fading to reveal a fifth man with a very large sword now in the area, his back to you.

Still, do the fighters ignore him? Or do they approach him?

"What? What on earth is this place?"


I do believe Natu teleported us here. But why?


ITSUMOOOOOOO.......

"What...was that?"

ITSUMOOOOO....I AM HERE MASTER

"I do believe...it's a Dark Priest! Trying to call up Itsumo, the Demon Lord!"

Not just any old Dark Priest, a Dark High Priest, judging from his aura.

"Tut, get out there and find out what's going on! Take this Expert Belt with you!"

"It appears that we aren't the only ones meant to be here..."

<"They shall be no match for us master.">

"I am confident in your strength Lite Brite. However I still think we should prepare ourselves for any confrontation."

<"Very well, I shall await your commands.">

*Deafening whine*


*Throws Rare Candy at Exploud*

@ Rare Candy
*Deafening happy siren*

"Hmmmmm, I can feel the presence of evil here, it's stench is beyond reason in this area."


"Master, is this another exercise?"


"No my friend, I believe we have been pulled into something that goes beyond the scope of our usual drills."


"Shall we call for the others then?"


"It would appear that the time for reinforcements has passed. We must quickly decipher the objective of this meeting before this encounter gets even more out of hand. I especially don't like the looks of that robed figure over there, I wonder if the others are working for him......?"


"It would appear that whatever their motives may be, battle is their current intent."


*Tosses a belt to the Dusknoir*
"So it would seem, well then, En guarde!"




Dusknoir@Expert Belt

The group looks at each other, and then a couple of the people present point at the fifth humanoid in the near distance, with his back to them. The time for battle approaches, so the trainers toss their partner Pokémon items for use. AOPSUser gives Tutankhamen the Revenankh an Expert Belt, and glares at all the people present, giving an aura of being someone they don't really want to mess with...

Tutankhamen recieved an Expert Belt!
AOPSUser used Intimidate!
SubwayJ's attack fell! (-1 Stage)
Lite Brite's attack fell! (-1 Stage)
akela's attack fell! (-1 Stage)
Titanus's attack fell! (-1 Stage)
Alexander's attack fell! (-1 Stage)
Cyvain's attack fell! (-1 Stage)

Undetered, Alexander also gives his partner, Cyvain, an Expert Belt.

Cyvain recieved an Expert Belt!

akela, on the other hand, hands a Candy to his Exploud rather quietly, while the Pokémon makes a ruckus over the treat.

Titanus recieved a Rare Candy!

Finally, SubwayJ pulls out two berries from his berry pouch, handing one of them to Lite Brite. He also whispers something to his sword...

Lite Brite recieved an Enigma Berry!
SubwayJ pulled out an Enigma Berry!
SubwayJ is targetting mysterious man!

And the sword whispers back...

Cassida said:

Sir, I am not quite sure what that creature is at this distance. If you get closer, I may be able to identify it, assuming it doesn't identify itself first.

The stage is set... the pieces are moving... let the battle begin!

SubwayJ: AA


Ragnarokalex: AA


AOPSUser: AA


akela: AA


Trainers! PM (2) Actions! Remember it takes an action to move in a direction!

The battle begins!

Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Tutankhamen (65), Alexander (60), Titanus (59), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), akela (47), Cyvain (38)

AOPSUser moves quickly, heading... let’s say north for simplicity. North towards the mysterious figure that is not one of the invited battlers. He calls for Tutankhamen to follow as he moves, to make sure that he isn’t alone in learning about the mysterious man.

AOPSUser walked north! (-2 Energy)

SubwayJ prepares to move towards the figure as well, but he shouts to Lite Brite to prepare defenses for the pair of them.

Lite Brite used Reflect! (-9 Energy)
Lite Brite created a barrier protecting herself and SubwayJ from physical attacks! (6 Actions)

Tutankhamen the Revenankh now follows AOPSUser northwards, trying to find out more about the figure with its trainer.

Tutankhamen moved north! (-2 Energy)

Alexander looks at AOPSUser, and gives a few shouts, giving orders to Cyvain and running after the other trainer.

Alexander ran north! (-4 Energy)

He quickly taps AOPSUser on the shoulder, beginning to speak.

“Why are we here? What do you want?”

I hope he’s willing to wait for a response.

Titanus the Exploud listens to akela whisper a few words, then starts exerting a dark cloud.

Titanus used Smokescreen! (-3 Energy)
Titanus created a dark cloud! (6 Actions)

With a moan, Tutankhamen turns towards the Exploud, waving its hands about.

Tutankhamen’s Air Lock made the dark fog rise!

With a dark cloud hanging over the beginning battle, the setting begins to become more appropriate, the water darkening in reflection of the cloud above them. Of course, the fog above them isn’t quite what akela had intended...

SubwayJ moves quickly towards the mysterious figure, catching up with the other two trainers already moving towards the figure.

SubwayJ ran north! (-4 Energy)

akela also moves north as well, trying to catch up with all the other trainers.

akela walked north! (-2 Energy)

Suddenly, Cyvain gives a cry, and a burst of psychic energy flies from the Duskinor, spreading around him. However, the realm appears to amplify the move. Could it be that its easily molded to other’s wills?

Cyvain used Trick Room! (-10 Energy)
The Realm empowered the move!
Cyvain twisted the dimensions of the Realm! (4 Rounds)

A dark cloud is lingering over the realm... (6 Actions)
The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (4 Rounds)

Now faster than everyone else, Cyvain glances towards the Revenankh, and sends out some flames. Of course, the distance might be an issue...

Cyvain used Will-O-Wisp at Tutankhamen! (-7 Energy)
Accuracy: 02614<07500=HIT
Tutankhamen was burned!

Apparently not.

Akela reaches to his belt, and pulls from his belt pouch a set of spikes. Instant Poisoned Caltrops! When you want to instantly cover your path! Well, he tosses the box to the ground behind him, and it breaks, sending toxic spikes all around the path the trainers just walked.

Akela used Toxic Spikes! (-6 Energy)
Akela scattered poisoned caltrops in a path!

SubwayJ points his sword at the mysterious figure, and whispers something to his sword.

The spirit Cassida of the Ancient Sword whispered something to SubwayJ!

What did the sword say? And will SubwayJ share his discovery?

AOPSUser looks at the group, and sighs, giving a quick order for his companion to rest.

AOPSUser chilled! (+2 Energy)

Titanus glances at the cloud hanging above them, shrugs, and moves northwards after his master. His experience with akela’s trap allows him to ignore it, though others may not be as lucky.

Titanus walked north. (-2 Energy)

Alexander looks around, and something clicks as he realizes who the mysterious man is himself. He swings his sword around in a flashy display, pumping himself up for a fight.

Alexander used Swords Dance! (-7 Energy)
Alexander’s attack sharply rose! (2 Stages)

Tutankhamen follows AOPSUser’s lead, restoring the low amount of energy he used.

Tutankhamen chilled! (+2 Energy)

Suddenly, a cry comes up from Lite Brite, as she charges AOPSUser, horns glowing brightly as she charges through the spike field akela put down!

Lite Brite used Megahorn on AOPSUser! (-7 Energy)
Lite Brite was poisoned by akela’s trap!
Crit: 04602<00625=NORMAL
Lite Brite’s momentum empowered the attack slightly!
Damage: (12+3+7.5-3+1)*2.25-2=44.125 Damage
Lite Brite lost her balance from the momentum! (Sluggish 1 action)

AOPSUser is forced down to the water as the blow nearly halved his health, Lite Brite’s No Guard allowing her to track her targets down over a short distance. However, the momentum from the charge has unbalanced her, restricting her to weak attacks as she regains her balance. To make things a little better for AOPSUser, Lite Brite was poisoned by akela’s trap.

A dark cloud is lingering over the realm... (5 Actions)
The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (4 Rounds)
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage)
Shed Skin: 05493<03300=NO
Tutankhamen is hurt by its burn! (2 Damage)

As AOPSUser starts to stand up, the mysterious man finally turns around to face the group, his sword slack at his side.


“So you are the mortals the Seer of Fate believe will slow me?” he asks. “Kekekeke... And you have decided to meet your ends in battle? So be it. I warn you, though, my power is stronger here than what you are used to.”

He turns away from you, and walks to your left, speaking.

“Ages ago, in a world ruled by gods, wars were breaking out all over it. In an effort to stop the wars and keep them from occurring again, the gods worked together to craft a weapon unseen before. A weapon that was not only able to destroy, but erase as well.”

The man starts to circle the trainers, not breaking his words, though walking his way through the spikes that Lite Brite scattered from where akela had placed them.

“Erase, as in the destroyed were erased from existence. They never existed in the first place. As a safeguard, they made the weapon unbreakable, and immune to its own powers. Finally, they made a grave mistake: they gave it intelligence, and a personality.”

The man pauses, looking into the distance.

“That weapon was used exceedingly well, bringing an end to the wars of that world. The gods didn’t need the weapon anymore, so they sealed it away. The weapon was filled with rage... used, then tossed away like a piece of clothing. However, in time, wars broke out again, and the weapon was unsealed... and with it, its wrath. The weapon then turned against the gods, and their world. That world no longer exists, but the weapon still does, unable to be destroyed.”

The man looks over his shoulder at the trainers, grinning.

“That weapon was me.”

He starts circling to the right.

“Jumping between worlds, seeking my own destruction...but the power imbued within prevents it. I cannot even turn my own powers against myself. But I sense one escape for one who so wants one... destroy all the worlds, so I may finally break away with no worlds left to jump to.”

He pauses again.

“But what is a weapon good for, even if weakened by poison, if not battle?”

And with that, he turns completely towards the group.

“Which begs the question, how long you can stand before I can take all of your lives. Try to keep things interesting.”

He raises his sword, no longer slack and pointed at the trainers with deadly intent.

“And when I am done with you, your world will be mine. Mine to control. Mine to destroy. Mine to erase! I am Itsumo! The created Demon Lord! In no world, will you exist! You will have never existed!”

You may need everyone's help to take him down!



Round End:


SubwayJ: AA


Ragnarokalex: AA


AOPSUser: AA


akela: AA


Demon Lord Itsumo: A

Well this is certainly sub-optimal. Did you roll for Shed Skin?


"Oh fuckfuckfuck, it IS Itsumo after all. Oh, and @Alex, I had no fucking clue what we were doing here. Until now. It looks like we have to deal with Itsumo somehow..."

(oops i think i misinterpreted something, i was thinking i was poking itsumo on the shoulder XD)


*Narrows eyes at Itsumo*
"You again, I was hoping that i had seen the last of you......"
*Turns suddenly to SubwayJ*
"Halt attacks! A duo may have been the plan before but this is a foe much too great for us to be squabbling among ourselves! Everyone quickly, we must band together to defeat this abomination! This creature seeks nothing more than to envelope and destroy the world we hold dear. If we do not stop him here we will lose everything! :

*Turns to AOPSUser*
"My apologies for the attack on you and yours, if you fall in behind me and help tend to the wounded, I will do what I can to ensure that no more blows land your way."

*Turns back to SubwayJ*
"Subway I believe that sword of yours has given you a strategy for this creature! Just pound away at it with that strategy and that should help us overcome this beast. Also having your Aurumoth help tend to AOPS real quick would probably be a step in the right direction."

*Turns to Akela*
"Friend, I would strongly suggest for your own safety you fall in behind us! These being is nothing to be trifled with and will stop at nothing to destroy us!"

*Turns back to Itsumo*
"Alright, set the pieces in place, time to show you just what your dealing with this time around!"

Suddenly, the world starts shaking, and rather violently.

"Kekekekeke!" laughs Itsumo. "This world is already doomed! Someone else is already destroying it!"

Itsumo continues to laugh as the Realm grows paler... no, beyond pale. Simply white. The Demon Lord and his weapon fades into the whiteness, his laughter fading away as well. But that's not all that is turning white. The water, sky, and dark clouds also fade into the whiteness, and even more horrifying, the trainers and their Pokémon themselves are fading into the whiteness as well!

Within a minute, there is nothing. No spirit, no humans, no Pokémon, no demons. No clouds, no water, no weapons. Not even a sound, or light or darkness. What remains is... nothing. Nothingness. True oblivion.

Suddenly, something rapidly forms out of oblivion. Numbers, a series of ones and zeros faintly form in the shape of a circle, growing more distinct and fading away as the circle forms completely.

404 Error: Page Not Found

It is too soon, says a voice, echoing in the void.

A scythe appears suddenly in the void, replacing the circle. Following behind it is a man with a familiar face, but he wears a look of regret.

The stories MUST be told, he says. If they cannot be told where they were formed from, I might as well just let your world end. But I need this tale told. I need the stories around Itsumo completed before I can rest in peace from here. Go back. Go back into the replacement world. Drive back the Demon in his humanoid form three times. Defeat him in his monsterous form once. Above all else, do not let him consume me!

There is a sucking sound like that of a vacuum, and the figure with the scythe vanishes, and the world of the Realm is back, with all of its trainers and Pokémon looking dazed. Nearby, the Demon Lord howls in frustration.

"The gods reach into this world to create a perfect copy?!?" Itsumo shouts. "Replace everyone with immitations of themselves and force me back into this world?!? I will make sure that next time this world fades, it won't be replaced!"

(OOC: Yeah, Smogon got hacked. This has thrown Smogon off balance, and devestated CAP ASB. While I try to help negotiate for regaining some of what was lost (the data for the adventure battles, including trainer stat information), we will try to bring this to completion. Since we do not know this forum's uses at all, reffing might take some time. As it is, you have one week to PM me actions. However, if I don't get actions in that timeframe, I will not have the usual chilling penalty and instead extend for another week. At that time, however, I'll ref regardless of actions recieved. Good luck).

"Titanus!"

Finally, akela spoke up loud enough for the others to hear.

"Our master wishes The Demon Lord to remain well. His survival is integral to our master's plans. Do not let him meet harm."

akela glanced at Titanus with confidence and urgency. The master would not wish to put off her plans.

Normal Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Itsumo (69), Tutankhamen (65), Alexander (60), Titanus (59), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), akela (47), Cyvain (38)

The battle continues!

AOPSUser looks at Itsumo, stunned, then collapses his hands together in prayer, giving a quick chant towards the sky... draining a lot of his vitality... And he glows brightly a moment before a small streak of light appears momentarily through the dark clouds.

AOPSUser used Wish! (-38 Energy)
The Ancient Amulet enabled the wish!
AOPSUser made a wish! (25 Health)
Threat: 7

As the wish is cast, the realm shakes in response. Nothing large enough to do any damage, but it makes one wonder...

The Realm seeks to respond!

“What are you doing?” Itsumo calls. “Don’t even think about putting this realm under your control!”

Cyvain looks at Itsumo, and tosses a beam of light towards the Demon, connecting itself with its opponent... but being far away from the others, it might fail...

Cyvain used Skill Swap on Itsumo! (-9 Energy)
Hit?: 03767<08000=HIT
Cyvain managed to reach Itsumo!
Cyvain lost Pressure!
Cyvain gained Guts!
Itsumo lost Guts!
Itsumo empowered Pressure!
Threat: 7

“Ha!” shouts the Demon with the sword. “I didn’t need that anyway!”

The good news: Itsumo is no longer growing stronger from the poison. The bad news: his opponents may find themselves out of breath VERY fast!

The trainer known as akela gives a shout at last as his Exploud partner quiets momentarily. He points at Itsumo, claiming that the Demon was important to his plans. He glares at the other trainers, daring them to attack.

akela used Leer! (-4 Energy)
SubwayJ’s defense fell! (1 Stage)
AOPSUser’s defense fell! (1 Stage)

However, Alexander simply glares back at akela, making akela feel like perhaps he made a slight mistake...

Alexander’s Magic Bounce protected Alexander!
akela’s defense fell! (1 Stage)

SubwayJ shudders at akela’s presence for a moment, before charging Itsumo, sword drawn. Drawing upon weak but increasing in power slashes, he brings the ghostly blade down on the Demon.

SubwayJ used Fury Cutter on Itsumo! (-8 Energy)
Hit: 05645<09500=HIT
Crit: 02794<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (6+6-6)*2.25-2=11.5 Damage/Threat

The Demon backs momentarily, his sword drawn, before Titanus moves in front of him... blocking other trainers from him?!?

Titanus used Bodyblock! (-5 Energy)
Titanus is protecting Itsumo from attacks!

Sides have been taken!

Alexander leaps at Itsumo, only to be intercepted by the Exploud, taking the blow meant for the Demon Lord!

Alexander used Fury Cutter at Itsumo! (-8 Energy)
Titanus took the attack!
Crit: 06128<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (4+7.5-4.5)-2=5 Damage

Tutankhamen acts now, bringing its arm down, trying to strike at the Demon. Once again, Titanus leaps in the way, but taking heavy damage.

Tutankhamen used Hammer Arm at Itsumo! (-10 Energy)
Titanus took the attack!
Crit: 08814<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10+3+7.5-4.5-3)*1.5=19.5 Damage (24.5 Total)

However, not all is well for Titanus. The attack pounded the Exploud into the ground!

Titanus was forced underground!
Tutankhamen’s speed fell! (1 Stage)

As Tutankhamen recovers from the attack, Titanus has to deal with being in a hole that is rapidly filling with water!

The Demon looks at SubwayJ, and grins, empowering his sword with psychic power and swinging it at the trainer.

Itsumo used Psycho Cut!
Crit: 09584<01250=NORMAL
Damage: (7+3+8.5-3)*1.5+2=25.25 Damage
SubwayJ ate some of his Enigma Berry! (+10 Health)

The blow was painful, and Itsumo cut right through the protective shield that Lite Brite had put up, but SubwayJ got out of the worst of it with his Enigma Berry. He now holds half of it in his off hand.

SubwayJ’s partner, Lite Brite, had received orders to attack Itsumo. But the pressure the Demon now exerts, in addition to having poor balance from the last attack, makes the Aurumoth struggle to attack.

Lite Brite attempted Bug Bite on Itsumo!
Itsumo’s Pressure is too much!
Lite Brite watched nervously!

That could have gone better.

A dark cloud is lingering over the realm... (4 Actions)
The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (4 Rounds)
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage)
Itsumo was hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 13.5 Total)
Tutankhamen is hurt by its burn! (2 Damage)

Revised Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Itsumo (69), Alexander (60), Titanus (59), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), akela (47), Cyvain (38), Tutankhamen (37)

And now Tutankhamen has a clear strike at the Demon! The Revenankh throws a punch, hitting true to its target!

Tutankhamen used Shadow Punch on Itsumo! (-7 Energy)
Crit: 01273<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (6+3+7.5-6-3)=7.5 Damage/Threat

Cyvain looks at the Demon Lord again, and conjures a blue flame, sending it in the direction of Itsumo.

Cyvain used Will-O-Wisp at Itsumo! (-11 Energy)
Hit: 07411<07500=HIT
Itsumo was burned!
Threat gained: 7
Total threat: 14

What is Alexander’s plan? Have Cyvain snipe from a distance? He’d have better accuracy closer up, but that would mean going through the spikes...

The burn does not go unnoticed, however, making the Demon glare in the Duskinor’s direction. “You think this will stop me?!?” Itsumo calls. “This only delays your destruction!”

With that, a shadowy mist starts flowing from the Demon’s body, cloaking Itsumo in wisps of darkness.

Itsumo threatens to shake off his status! (6 actions)

Well, that won’t go well!

The trainer who has thrown in with the Demon for his own plans acts next, leaping at AOPSUser with his sword.

akela used Fury Cutter on AOPSUser! (-4 Energy)
Crit: 07111<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (4+3-3)*2.25+2=11 Damage

The blade connects, dealing damage to the trainer, but if the attack did that much damage, just how much will repeated attacks do?

SubwayJ strikes at Itsumo again, bringing his sword down on the Demon, inflicting greater damage on him than before.

SubwayJ used Fury Cutter on Itsumo! (-9 Energy)
Hit: 03563<09500=HIT
Crit: 7663<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (7+6-6)*2.25-2=15.75 Damage/Threat (36.75 Total Damage/27.25 Total Threat)

Well, he’s damaging the Demon fine. Let’s hope he can TAKE the damage!

AOPSUser, exhausted from the wish, chills out, recovering some much needed energy, and restoring a sliver of his health.

AOPSUser chilled! (+12 Energy, +6 Health; 5 Damage Total)
2 Threat gained!

Titanus manages to climb out of the hole he was pounded into, then shouts at Tutankhamen, who forced him underground in the first place. He doesn’t really have time to do much else, though.

Titanus climbed out of the hole.

As the Exploud leaves the hole, Alexander notices that the water level of the Realm is fading. All the water is going into that hole that Tutankhamen and Titanus made!

The spirit Cassida of the Ancient Sword whispered something to SubwayJ!

And he’s not the only one to have noticed! What did the sword say to SubwayJ?

Alexander shrugs, and strikes at Itsumo again.

Alexander used Fury Cutter at Itsumo! (-9 Energy)
Hit: 07205<09500=HIT
Damage: (7+7.5-6)*2.25+2=21.125 Damage/Threat (57.875 Total Damage)

More damage, and Itsumo finally shows a scratch on his arm. It’s a start at least. Not much, but a start.

Time for retaliation. Itsumo swings his sword at SubwayJ again, striking with perfect accuracy. This time, he cannot miss.

Itsumo used Aerial Ace on SubwayJ!
Crit: 08569<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (6+8.5-3-3)*1.5+2=14.75 Damage (30 Total)
SubwayJ ate the rest of his Enigma Berry! (+10 Health)

SubwayJ takes what could have been a deadly blow. However, due to the berry, he isn’t quite as bad as it could have been. Still, the Demon can cut right through his protection and his berry is gone. Is he about to get himself into a corner?

Lite Brite retaliates for her master, having regained her balance, and charges at the Demon, horns lowered!

Lite Brite used Megahorn on Itsumo! (-11 Energy)
Crit: 07305<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (12+3+7.5-6)*2.25-2=35.125 Damage/Threat (93 Total Damage)

And THAT will get Itsumo off her master’s tail. For now, at any rate.

A dark cloud is lingering over the realm... (3 Actions)
The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (3 Rounds)
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 4 Total)
Itsumo was hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 95 Total)
Itsumo was hurt by his burn! (2 Damage, 97 Total)
Itsumo threatens to shake off his status! (5 Actions)
Shed Skin: 04434<03333=No
Tutankhamen is hurt by its burn! (2 Damage, 4 Total)

Lite Brite’s attack rose! (1 Stage)
SubwayJ’s attack rose! (1 Stage)
Cyvain’s attack rose! (1 Stage)
Alexander’s attack fell! (1 Stage)
Titanus’s attack rose! (1 Stage)
akela’s attack rose! (1 Stage)

Which one having decided to ally with the Demon, and a couple of the others in poor shape, what will happen now? AOPSUser’s first out Intimidate has worn off, while Alexander’s attack has returned to normal. The Demon has been injured, and what of the sword’s thoughts? And how and why did all the water go into the hole, leaving the Realm a field of dirt?

Round End:

Threat: Demon Lord Itsumo:




SubwayJ: AA


Ragnarokalex: AA

akela: AA


Demon Lord Itsumo: A




Trainers! PM actions!

"Akela. You idiot. You have brought doom upon yourself."

"I have doomed you and your false friends, but not myself. You are too focused on the now. What you are faced with now. You don't look at the big picture of it all. What if I were to tell you the truth? That all you see is a lie. All you have been told is a lie. Heheheh. Your friends are willing to join you in your hopeless battle. Thrust you into certain doom. You will not survive your bout with Itsumo. Your choice to oppose a demon lord has bound you to an eternal lie, an eternal battle. You shall die before you see the fruits of your labors. Heheheh. Itsumo cannot be defeated except by one as powerful as him. No number of pawns in this war will overcome him. He is ETERNAL. You are wasting your time; wasting your energy. Everything you do is meaningless. Look at the bigger picture."

Revised Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Itsumo (69), Alexander (60), Titanus (59), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), akela (47), Cyvain (38), Tutankhamen (37)

Sides have been clearly taken. The trainer known as akela has decided to side with the Demon Lord, turning everyone else against him. There are always reasons for one’s actions, but some of these reasons outright confuse outsiders. Nonetheless, Tutankhamen is making Titanus pay for akela’s decision.

Tutankhamen used Drain Punch on Titanus! (-11 Energy)
Crit: 09139<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (8+2+3+7.5-4.5-3)*1.5=19.5 Damage
Tutankhamen recovered 6 Health!

A quick jab, and the mummy Pokémon drains some health from its opponent.

The Demon Lord grins at akela, nodding in agreement. "Wise not to oppose me. I'll save you for when the worlds are nearly at an end! Look behind the worlds, but not for the truth! Seek the next layer of the delusion, destroy that, and always seek to break reality! I am Eternal reborn! I am the desire of the Drifter's wish for destruction made manifest! These mortals think to stop me?!? A defeat here would only delay me!"
Cyvain looks at akela, and glows purple, charging an attack that may be shaky at range, but will inflict damage if it hits.

Cyvain is charging a deadly attack! (-32 Energy)

Akela does not sit idle. He brings his sword down on AOPSUser again, repeating the previous stroke and inflicting a greater amount of damage than before!

akela used Fury Cutter on AOPSUser! (-5 Energy)
Crit: 08918<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (7+3-3)*2.25+2=17.75 Damage

Will Cyvain stop him before akela’s sword brings AOPSUser to his knees?!?

SubwayJ has the same idea for Itsumo. He brings his blade down again, returning Itsumo’s attention to him.

SubwayJ used Fury Cutter on Itsumo! (-9 Energy)
Hit: 00101<09500=HIT
Crit: 06870<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10+6-6)*2.25=22.5 Damage/Threat

And in this case, the attention could be deadly.

AOPSUser continues to regain his breath, chilling out, watching the clouds above for the star.

AOPSUser chilled! (+6 Health, +12 Energy, +2 Threat)
Damage Taken: 9.75

Titanus decides that it is time to retaliate. The Exploud creates a small burst of psychic energy and sends it at Tutankhamen, who had drained his health.

Titanus used Extrasensory on Tutankhamen! (-6 Energy)
Crit: 00531<00625=OUCH!
Damage: (8+3+7.5-6)*1.5=18.75 Damage

The ghost suddenly cries out in pain, feeling the world in a half-dozen ways it was not meant to! Touch, sight, sound, taste, smell... and six other senses not meant for mortals to understand!

The Exploud got lucky!

Alexander leaps at akela, bringing his sword down on him, striking as hard as possible. But akela’s stone armor beneath his clothes weakens the attack...

Alexander used Psycho Cut on akela! (-4 Energy)
Crit: 04482<01250=NORMAL
Damage: (7-2-1+3+7.5-7.5)*1.5+2=12.5 Damage

Can akela make a comeback to serve the Demon Lord for his own designs?!?

Said Demon Lord looks at SubwayJ, grinning again. He raises his sword high, channeling psychic energy into it, and then brings it down forcefully onto the ghostly trainer!

Demon Lord Itsumo used Psycho Cut on SubwayJ!
Crit: 06048<01250=NORMAL
Damage: (7+3+8.5-3)*1.5+2=25.25 Damage

It is leaving a definite mark on SubwayJ. Can HE stand the blows?

Lite Brite finally acts, creating a burst of psychic energy and sends it at akela. The trainer is thrown in the air before coming crashing down!

Lite Brite used Psychic on akela! (-6 Energy)
Crit: 00930<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10-2-1+3+7.5-3)*1.5=21.75 Damage (34.25 Total)
Effect: 08701<01000

The trainer lays there for a moment, before turning his head towards the Dusknoir. Why hadn’t he acted?

Cyvain used Psychic Blast at akela!
Hit: 05530<08000=OUCH!

Oh. That’s why.

This is going to hurt.

Crit: 01722<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (22.5+2-2-1+6-3)*1.5=36.75 Damage (71 Total)
Effect: 03500<02000=No effect

Akela goes flying high into the air, before coming crashing down to the ground again, heavily wounded. While his abilities spared him from KO, another hit could do him in...

A dark cloud is lingering over the realm... (2 Actions)
The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (3 Rounds)
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage)
Itsumo was hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 24.5 Total)
Itsumo was hurt by his burn! (2 Damage, 26.5 Total)
Itsumo threatens to shake off his status! (4 Actions)
Tutankhamen is hurt by its burn! (2 Damage, 16.75 Total)

Suddenly, a shining star falls out of the clouds, striking AOPSUser, closing some of his wounds.

AOPSUser’s wish came true!
AOPSUser regained 25 health!
AOPSUser’s Ancient Amulet is glowing!
The Realm no longer seeks to respond...

Some of the damage AOPSUser suffered before is restored, and the Realm loses interest in him. But a change is occurring in his Ancient Amulet... it is starting to change form...

Titanus looks akela’s way, concerned at its master’s fate. He quickly turns towards the Revenankh, and manages to move quickly enough to get out of the way just enough to make sure he isn’t buried again.

Tutankhamen used Hammer Arm on Titanus! (-6 Energy)
Hit: 08504<09000=HIT
Crit: 05132<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10+3+2+7.5-4.5-3)*1.5=22.5 Damage
Tutankhamen’s speed fell! (1 Stage)

A large hit, even with the burn reducing the damage. Titanus might be able to endure one or two more hits...

Cyvain looks dazed from his effort, not quite aware akela remains conscious. He just sits there, resting...

Cyvain is recharging!

Akela jumps up, and lunges at AOPSUser again, repeating the now familiar sword slash, continually growing in power...

akela used Fury Cutter on AOPSUser! (-6 Energy)
Crit: 04449<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10+3-3)*2.25+2=24.5 Damage

Well, that wipes out the health AOPSUser regained from the wish. Amazing that such a weak attack has grown into enough power to deal heavy blows!

SubwayJ repeats the attack akela made, but with his own target: the Demon Lord himself!

SubwayJ used Fury Cutter on Itsumo! (-11 Energy)
Hit: 08871<09500=HIT
Crit: 00149<00625=OUCH!
Damage: (13+3+6-6)*2.25=36 Damage/Threat (58.5 Total)

Itsumo goes flying back a few meters, landing back on his feet and his left hand, the right hand holding the massive sword out for balance.

“You are becoming a little more than a mere annoyance...” the Demon Lord states, glaring at SubwayJ. “I’ll have to deal with you more forcefully...”

Still out of breath, AOPSUser chills again, restoring more of his health and energy. Nearly at full energy, he may return to acting soon...

AOPSUser chilled! (+6 Health, +12 Energy, +2 Threat)

Titanus looks at his attacker, and gives a shout, charging the Revenankh and trying to strike with his head.

Titanus used Zen Headbutt at Tutankhamen! (-6 Energy)
Crit: 09653<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (8+6-4.5)*1.5=14.25 Damage (31 Total)

The twisted Realm guides Titanus true, making him strike the ghost.

Wait... what is Alexander doing?

Alexander is charging a deadly attack! (-31 Energy)

Sword raised high, he’s channeling his energy, channeling his might into the blade! Will it be enough for his purposes?

“Ha!” shouts the Demon Lord. “You call that a powerful attack? Allow me to give you a glimpse of true power!”

Itsumo stands on his two feet again, brings his sword high above his head, and brings it down in SubwayJ’s direction. HARD.

Itsumo used Guillotine at SubwayJ!
It doesn’t affect SubwayJ...
Itsumo revealed his Guillotine move!

SubwayJ is stunned as the heavy blade goes right through him, impaling itself in the ground momentarily before Itsumo withdraws the sword.

“Already dead?” the Demon Lord asks. “No matter... I have ways to make sure you return to your grave... kekekeke!”

Suddenly, the sword in SubwayJ's hands whispers again, and this time, it is loud enough for those nearby to hear.

Cassida said:

Run.

Click to expand...

Lite Brite is also unnerved by the heavy blow. Even with no defenses, she doesn’t want to get caught in that! But she has orders to follow, and she’d best follow them. She blows a wind from her wings at the traitorous Exploud.

Lite Brite used Silver Wind on Titanus! (-3 Energy)
Crit: 01547<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (6+3+7.5-4.5)=12 Damage (34.5 Total)
Effect: 04651<01000=No effect

As Titanus shrugs off the wind, he is suddenly disturbed by a cry from Alexander. The man lowers his sword, and charges the Exploud and the Exploud suddenly sees a vision. A vision of a black horse moments before the sword connects, jerking him back to the battlefield.

Alexander used Horseman’s Blade on Titanus!
Crit: 06554<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (20.25+3+7.5-4.5)*1.5=39.375 Damage (73.875 Total)

A dark cloud is lingering over the realm... (1 Action)

Itsumo threatens to shake off his status! (3 Actions)
Shed Skin: 06322<03333=No
Tutankhamen is hurt by its burn! (2 Damage, 33 Total)
SubwayJ’s Defense rose! (1 Stage)
AOPSUser’s Defense rose! (1 Stage)
akela’s Defense rose! (1 Stage)

Well, significant damage has been inflicted on Itsumo and those allied with him. The question is will the damage inflicted on AOPSUser and Tutankhamen will be enough to make the coming cost of akela’s and Titanus’s inevitable fall worth it. While AOPSUser is the clear target of akela, Itsumo’s sights are set squarely on SubwayJ, who might be in trouble soon if he isn’t careful... because Itsumo has revealed a devastating move that threatens to outright eliminate if he manages to actually connect with it...

This round, someone is going down. The question is: can he inflict more damage to his opponents before his defeat?

AOPSUser clasps his hands together in prayer again, the amulet around his neck glowing brightly for a moment before another streak of light is seen above the dark clouds.

AOPSUser used Wish! (-20 Energy)
The Changing Amulet enabled the wish!
AOPSUser made a wish! (25 Health)
Threat: 8

The Amulet he wears is not the same as before. It is changing. Is that good? Or is that bad? At any rate, the Realm shakes again... and more violently than before...

The Realm seeks to respond!
AOPSUser attracted Itsumo’s attention! (2 Threat)

The Demon Lord glares at AOPSUser. “Do you even realize the power you might wield? I think not. But if you try that again, I will be speaking with someone... its too risky for me to let that run loose...”

Tutankhamen decides to rest up, preparing for the long haul...

Tutankhamen chilled! (+12 Energy)

...and Cyvian flings a ball of dark energy at akela! Will this finish him off?!?

Cyvian used Shadow Ball at akela! (-5 Energy)
Accuracy: 03852<08000=HIT
Crit: 03152<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (8-1+6-3)=10 Damage

akela goes flying into the air again, going above the Revenankh he was about attack. As the ground closes in on him, a series of thoughts fly through his head. What are those thoughts? We may never know.

AKELA FAINTED! (+1 KOC Cyvian)
Cyvain attracted the attention of Itsumo! (10 Threat)

“I see you there!” shouts the Demon Lord. “You lost me a servant! Do you know how difficult to find those willing to serve me? It’s a waste of resources to toss them aside like you just did! I’ll deal with you shortly!”

SubwayJ looks at his sword.

Looks at the Demon Lord looking at Cyvain.

Looks at his sword again.

And bolts south.

SubwayJ ran south! (-4 Energy)

Thanks to his sword, he may have lost his momentum, but he’s now out of Itsumo’s reach, and rests next to Cyvain the Duskinor.

Titanus the Exploud gives a shout, and unleashes a burst of psychic energy at the Revenankh. He’s likely seen the writing on the wall, and wants to inflict as much damage on akela’s orders before he falls.

Titanus used Extrasensory on Tutankhamen! (-6 Energy)
Crit: 04425<00625=HIT
Damage: (8+7.5-6)*1.5=14.25 Damage

Alexander leans on his sword next to the determined Exploud. That last attack really took a lot out of him, especially since the sword, while powerful, didn’t quite suit him. Of course, it could be that the world wasn’t really ready for the weapon that had chosen him.

Alexander is recharging!

Itsumo looks around, and glares at those nearby him. “You may be powerful, but you don’t pose as much of a threat as HE does,” he snarls. “I’ll deal with you later. YOU SHALL NOT EVADE ME!”

Sword raised high, Itsumo runs south, chasing after SubwayJ!

Itsumo ran south!

He skids to a stop in front of the Dusknoir and the ghost trainer, grinning. “Did you really think I’d let you go just like that? No one else is as threatening to me as you are right now! Kekekekeke!”

Oh, *BLEEP*! If someone was at least at half as threatening as SubwayJ is right now, Itsumo might have stayed put!

Lite Brite looks at SubwayJ momentary, before firing a healing beam at the trainer. The distance could be an issue...

Lite Brite used Heal Pulse on SubwayJ! (-13 Energy)
The distance weakened the pulse!
SubwayJ restored 15 Health!
Lite Brite gained Itsumo’s attention! (4 Threat)

Well, even if it isn’t the full powered healing, it’s something.

The dark clouds rose!
The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (3 Rounds)
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage)
Itsumo was hurt by poison! (2 Damage)
Itsumo was hurt by his burn! (2 Damage, 4 Total)
Itsumo threatens to shake off his status! (2 Actions)
Tutankhamen is hurt by its burn! (2 Damage, 16.25 Total)
Lite Brite’s Reflect faded!
SubwayJ’s Reflect faded!

The dark clouds rise from above the battlefield, but they don’t rise too far, instead fading mostly away. But as they fade, the remaining trainers and Pokémon realize something.

The sky above the battlefield. Before they started fighting, the sky was blue. Now, it is gray, and darkening.

The Realm of the Forgotten Demon King... could it be... that it is changing without external influence?

The Revenankh decides to continue to regain energy, despite the fact that it might be better suited actually attacking.

Tutankhamen chilled! (+5 Energy)

The Dusknoir pays no attention to the small (but growing) group beside him, and instead sends a burst of psychic energy towards the Exploud.

Cyvain used Psychic at Titanus! (-7 Energy)
Hit: 01562<08000=HIT
Crit: 00841<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10+6-4.5)=11.5 Damage

The Exploud flies into the air, senses rapidly fading. But at the least, it had accomplished its mission; draw some of the threat off of the Demon Lord.

TITANUS FAINTED! (+1 KOC Cyvain)
Cyvain attracted the attention of Itsumo! (10 Threat)

“My servants!” Itsumo calls. “You’ll pay for this... in time...”

The trainer akela has been eliminated from the battle.

Gulping at the unpleasant surprise, SubwayJ reaches into his berry pouch and pulls out a berry from it. Another Enigma. It looks like he’ll be needing it too!

SubwayJ pulled out an Enigma berry! (-1 Energy)

Hopefully his berry pouch can keep up with the demand!

Recovering his breath from the wish, AOPSUser chills. This attracts a little attention from the Demon Lord, but the enemy’s attention is fixated on SubwayJ!

AOPSUser chilled! (+12 Energy, +6 Health)
2 Threat gained!

Alexander manages to regain his breath from the mighty attack he pulled last round, and decides it would be a good idea to stand with his partner in the Realm.

Alexander ran south! (-4 Energy)

He leaps over Itsumo’s glaring head, and lands in front of Cyvain, quickly turning himself to face the Demon Lord.

“I’ll deal with you later, Famine!” Itsumo snarls, and swings his blade at SubwayJ again.

Itsumo used Psycho Cut on SubwayJ!
Crit: 07661<01250=NORMAL
Damage: (7+3+8.5-3)*1.5=23.25 Damage
SubwayJ ate some of his Enigma Berry! (+10 Health)

Although healing some of the damage done, SubwayJ is in a pickle. Itsumo is refusing to turn off of the ghostly trainer!

Lite Brite looks in the direction of akela, and nods in satisfaction before catching her breath a moment.

Lite Brite chilled! (+12 Energy)

The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (2 Rounds)
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 4 Total)
Itsumo was hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 6 Total)
Itsumo was hurt by his burn! (2 Damage, 8 Total)

Shed Skin: 07085<03333=No
Tutankhamen is hurt by its burn! (2 Damage, 16.25 Total)
Tutankhamen’s speed rose! (+1 Stage)

The round comes to an end, and now the group, though split, is now freed from the two that decided to side with the Demon Lord. To the north, AOPSUser and Tutankhamen prepare for the next assault while Lite Brite looks on to the south. To the south, SubwayJ looks at Demon Lord Itsumo in front of him, with Alexander and Cyvain beside him. The dark clouds that surround Itsumo grow more faded, nearly fully absorbed into the Demon. Can the clouds be dealt with? And with akela and Titanus out of the way, can the others that remain bring down Itsumo?

Round End:


Threat: Demon Lord Itsumo:


SubwayJ: AA


Ragnarokalex: AA


AOPSUser: AA


akela: XX


Demon Lord Itsumo: A


Remaining trainers! PM actions!

Akela brings himself to one knee, struggling to conserve his energy.


"You have only prolonged your suffering. You have only buried the truth deeper. The Demon Lord has friends and allies in many places. The Demon Lord is not alone. Best take care not to anger those allies as you fail in your attempts to defeat him. My master has taken care of my needs. She has ensured my safety in this realm. It was a deal with only benefits to me. "

Suddenly, wings sprout forth from akela's back.



"I have nothing to fear in my demise. I am being born again, as a faithful servant of my master, free of want and humanly desire. A faithful servant as a guardian to the elder gods."

Both Titanus and akela vanish from the sight of Itsumo's adversaries.

Revised Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Itsumo (69), Alexander (60), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), Cyvain (38), Tutankhamen (37)

The battle continues, though few blows were traded this round.

Titanus and akela wearily stand on their knees, akela making a final speech before he reveals his own deals, and teleports out of the Realm in a pillar of darkness, taking his Exploud with him.

Akela used Dimensional Rift!
akela and Titanus fled from the Realm of the Forgotten Demon King!

Itsumo looks at the spot momentarily, before muttering, “Just with which other Demon Lord did he make a deal with... At least, in the end, it benefits me...”

Unnoticed by the Demon Lord present, AOPSUser waves his hands, before thrusting the Amulet around his neck in the direction of SubwayJ, sending a wave of healing energy at the trainer under heavy fire.

AOPSUser used Heal Pulse at SubwayJ! (-27 Energy)
The distance weakened the pulse!
SubwayJ restored 15 Health!
AOPSUser gained Itsumo’s attention! (4 Threat)

Tutankhamen raises his hands, his body producing a glow like moonlight... but there is no moon to return the glow...

Tutankhamen used Moonlight! (-16 Energy)
Tutankhamen restored health! (+15 Health, +4 Threat)

Cyvain tiredly looks at Itsumo, and raises his arms to strike, before Alexander makes a motion with his sword, giving an order to rest. Cyvain nods, turning from the Demon and floating down until he is resting on the ground, his eye closed.

Cyvain chilled! (+12 Energy)

SubwayJ looks around in fear, gulping at his situation. He looks at the Demon Lord, then dives around him, heading back north towards Lite Brite.

SubwayJ ran north! (-4 Energy)

Alexander turns away from Itsumo, draws his sword to his face, closing his eyes as he regains his strength for the battle ahead.

Alexander chilled! (+12 Energy)

Itsumo glares at Alexander, before shouting after SubwayJ, running after him. “Get back here!”

Itsumo ran north!

SubwayJ glances back at Itsumo, before moving out of the way of Itsumo’s charge. Lite Brite looks at SubwayJ, and sends a wave of healing energy at him, bringing the trainer back to good health.

Lite Brite used Heal Pulse on SubwayJ! (-13 Energy)
SubwayJ regained 20 Health!
Lite Brite gained Itsumo’s attention! (7 Threat)

The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (2 Rounds)
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage)
Itsumo was hurt by poison! (2 Damage)
Itsumo was hurt by his burn! (2 Damage, 4 Total)
Tutankhamen is hurt by its burn! (2 Damage)

With a roar and some evil laughter, the darkness surrounding Itsumo fully enter his body, and then burst from him releases all of it all at once, taking with it purple gunk and flames burning in midair.

Itsumo’s Dark Restoration restored his status!

“Back at full power!” he shouts. “Now, you will truly feel the bite of my blade! Kekekekekeke!”

But as Itsumo laughs at the fates of those that remain to oppose him... a shooting star flies down upon AOPSUser, restoring his health.

AOPSUser’s wish came true!
AOPSUser regained 25 health!
AOPSUser’s Changing Amulet is glowing!
The Realm no longer seeks to respond...

The Revenankh looks at Itsumo with little interest, restoring energy. The time to strike may be soon, but it isn’t yet.

Tutankhamen chilled! (+12 Energy)

Cyvain also continues to rest, recovering from the all out assaults he had to do in previous rounds.

Cyvain chilled! (+12 Energy)

SubwayJ looks around him, then grasps his hands together in prayer, whispering something under his breath.

SubwayJ made a prayer. (-10 Energy)

Suddenly, the Realm’s ground starts shaking again, much like that when AOPSUser makes wishes. But something is different this time...

The Realm is responding!

AOPSUser, meanwhile, catches his breath from the amount of energy he had to put into the healing beam.

AOPSUser chilled! (+12 Energy, +6 Health, +2 Threat)

With sudden fury, Alexander turns back towards Itsumo, swinging his sword with a taunt...

Ragnarokalex said:

"Let's see you ignore me now."

Click to expand...

Only to realize he was now out of range, slightly embarrassed.

Alexander used Fury Cutter on Itsumo! (-4 Energy)
Itsumo’s out of range...

Itsumo brings his sword down on SubwayJ, striking with unerring accuracy.

Itsumo used Aerial Ace on SubwayJ!
Crit: 07882<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (6+8.5-3)*1.5=17.25 Damage
SubwayJ ate the rest of his Enigma Berry! (+10 Health)

As SubwayJ tosses aside the remains of his Enigma Berry, Lite Brite charges Itsumo, striking hard with her horns.

Lite Brite used Megahorn on Itsumo! (-11 Energy)
Crit: 03945<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (12+3+7.5-6)*2.25=37.125 Damage/Threat (41.125 Damage Total, 44 Threat Total)

The Aurumoth backs up, looking at Itsumo, as a bolt of lighting strikes the ground in the distant north.

Thunder rolls...
The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (1 Round)
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 4 Total)
Shed Skin: 01558<03333=YES
Tutankhamen’s Shed Skin cured it of its burn!
Tutankhamen’s speed rose! (+1 Stage)

As Tutankhamen recovers its speed and finally rids itself of the burn, progress has been resumed on bringing down Itsumo. Can the pace be picked up? Or will the Demon Lord bring down the trainers that oppose him?

“Well, well, well...” Itsumo says, lifting his sword experimentally. “It seems it’s about time for a fatal blow... you certainly have earned it...”
Round End:

Trainers! PM actions!

Normal Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Itsumo (69), Tutankhamen (65), Alexander (60), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), Cyvain (38)
Thunder rolls...

Another bolt of lightning strikes the ground in the distance, far to the west. As the battle grows more frantic among a few, the thunder grows more fitting for the fight.

But first, preparations from a few.

The first to grab a chance to act is Cyvain, who vanishes into a shadowy form and floats northwards, before reappearing next to Itsumo.

Cyvain used Shadow Sneak to hurry north! (-3 Energy)

Curious about his companion’s amulet, SubwayJ pointed at AOPSUser, aiming at the Amulet around AOPSUser’s neck.

The spirit Cassida of the Ancient Sword whispered something to SubwayJ!

The person from the temple pays little mind, instead continuing to regain his breath and his health.

AOPSUser chilled! (+12 Energy, +6 Health)
2 Threat gained!

Alexander rests as well, continuing to regain his breath.

Alexander chilled! (+12 Energy)

Tutankhamen goes a different route, using his energy to regain health, even if there is no moon to reflect to gain a significant amount.

Tutankhamen used Moonlight! (-16 Energy)
Tutankhamen restored health! (+15 Health, +4 Threat)

Itsumo glances at SubwayJ, and grins. “Now, you will face a glimpse of my power!”

The Demon Lord raises his sword high, and the hilt starts being surrounded by a shadowy mist slowly escaping from Itsumo’s hand.

Itsumo is charging a fatal attack!

Well, *BLEEP*!

Lite Brite quickly floats over to Itsumo, and brings her wings down on him in an X shape, dealing a heavy mark on the Demon Lord.

Lite Brite used X-Scissor on Itsumo! (-9 Energy)
Crit: 01032<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (8+3+7.5-6)*2.25=28.125 Damage/Threat

Itsumo looks at the large bug, and redirects his sword at the Aurumoth, but he doesn’t bring it down. Instead, it continues to charge...

Itsumo is charging a fatal attack!

The dimensions of the realm are twisted... (1 Round)
Thunder rolls...
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage)

The ghost from Alexander decides to act on its trainer’s orders, clapping its hands together to encourage the nearby Aurumoth to greater strikes.

Cyvain used Helping Hand on Lite Brite! (-4 Energy)
Cyvain is ready to help Lite Brite!

SubwayJ decides it may be a good time to rest, deciding to reflect on the information he received from the sword.

SubwayJ chilled! (+12 Energy)

AOPSUser continues to recover his breath, and his health...

AOPSUser chilled! (+12 Energy, +6 Health)
2 Threat gained!

While Alexander decides it is finally time to take the fight completely to the Demon Lord.

Alexander ran north! (-4 Energy)

And the Revenankh rests more, restoring some of his energy.

Tutankhamen chilled! (+12 Energy)

Itsumo, meanwhile, continues channeling dark energy into his sword, not paying a lot of attention to his surroundings...

Itsumo is charging a fatal attack!

Lite Brite backs up a few meters, lowers her horns, and charges the Demon Lord, striking hard with Cyvain’s encouragement, but leaving her starting to feel exhausted.

Lite Brite used Megahorn on Itsumo! (-11 Energy)
Cyvain helped Lite Brite! (-12 Energy, +7 Threat)
Crit: 01633<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (24+3+7.5-6)*2.25=64.125 Damage/Threat (65.25 Total)

Lite Brite backs up, watching the Demon Lord, and he suddenly lowers his blade, grinning.

“Now, feel the fury and might of the destroyers! DEMON BLADE!”

Lite Brite sees the sword suddenly absorb all the darkness, and appear lighter in Itsumo’s hands. The Aurumoth’s pupils suddenly shrink in realization, and the Demon lunges at her. She tries to flee out of reach of the massive sword, but the power infused within the blade prevents escape!

Itsumo used a charged combo! (Aerial Ace + Guillotine)
Itsumo used Demon Blade on Lite Brite!
Crit: 04001<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (31+8.5-6)*1.5=50.25 Damage (52.25 Total)

“Heal THAT! KEKEKEKEKE!”

Lite Brite glances at Demon Lord Itsumo, and quickly consumes a piece of her berry, restoring some of her health. Nowhere near enough to cover the damage, but enough to help take some of the bite out of the attack.

Lite Brite ate some of her Enigma Berry! (+10 Health, 42 Damage Total)

The Realm quakes momentarily, and a small spike of earth appears near SubwayJ, before the trainer smiles at an item that the spike leaves behind.


The Realm has responded!
An Odd Keystone appeared!

Itsumo is too busy laughing at Lite Brite’s sudden misery to notice the new appearance, but the Realm jerks once as Cyvain’s Trick Room finally fades. It certainly took a long time!

The dimensions of the Realm turned back to normal!
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 44 Damage Total)

The round ends, and while there are those that starting to appear back in good health, the massive blow on Lite Brite might make them reconsider taking so much time to rest...

"Finally. We have tamed the power of the Necklace. Now, we should be able to attempt execration of this monster..."


"Um...sir?"

"The necklace...oh no...run..."

AOPSUser gains an aura of pure electricity.

"DEMON, FEEL MY LIGHTNING"

"SIR???"

AOPSUser flickers back into normal form.

"Um, sorry about that. It's this cursed realm. The sooner we get out of here, the better."

AOPSUser begins to chant.

"From the Darkness, the Chaos, one appeared. The demon lord. Since...he has been forgotten. Now that he rises, I exercise the full right, responsibility, and power to banish him to the Darkness from which he came..."


Kekeke....eat THIS!

*Itsumo used Demon Blade (Lite Brite)!*

"He has been my enemy. The enemy of the light..."

"WHAT? NO! NO! THIS CAN'T BE POSSIBLE! THE CHANT WAS LOST!"

"My enemy...I name you. I name you Itsumo. I name you..."

*Itsumo teleports away*

"I name you...I name you...!!!!!!"

Itsumo: Kekekeke! You cannot name me, and thus the spell is over. It will end with your demise!

*AOPSUser collapses, exhausted*

-------20 hours later-------

AOPSUser clutches the spell book. All he needed was Itsumo's true name, and he could banish him for a few thousand more years. He woke with a start, and a fury.

"Itsumo, I will DESTROY you!"

Normal Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Itsumo (69), Tutankhamen (65), Alexander (60), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), Cyvain (38)

Thunder rolls...

AOPSUser looked at Itsumo, and started chanting a series of words, reading aloud from a book. While the Demon Lord was at first unnerved, Itsumo started laughing as the sage ran out of steam.

“Did you really think it was that easy? Just a chant and knowing my name?” Itsumo calls. “You know of what happened to the last four humans to try to seal me? Kekekeke...”

AOPSUser glares at Itsumo, then flings his amulet towards Lite Brite, sending a pulse of healing energy towards the wounded Aurumoth.

AOPSUser used Heal Pulse on Aurumoth! (-20 Energy)
Aurumoth recovered 20 Health!
AOPSUser gained Itsumo’s attention! (+7 Threat)

Aurumoth simply cannot keep up the assault on Itsumo in her current state. She takes a quick breather at SubwayJ’s orders, recovering some of her heavily depleted energy.

Lite Brite chilled! (+12 Energy)

Itsumo grins, and swings his sword at the wounded Aurumoth, a small burst of shadows following the blade.

Itsumo used Night Slash on Lite Brite!
Crit: 08710<01250=NORMAL
Damage: (7+3+8.5-6)*1.5=18.75 Damage
Lite Brite consumed her Enigma Berry! (+10 Health)

The Demon Lord is not letting up his assault on the Aurumoth, and that berry is now gone!
Tutankhamen decides it is time to start piling on the damage again, and brings his arms down, trying to drive Itsumo into the ground. Literally!

Tutankhamen used Hammer Arm on Itsumo! (-10 Energy)
Hit: 02720<09000=HIT
Crit: 09513<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10+3+7.5-6)=14.5 Damage/Threat
Tutankhamen’s speed fell! (1 Stage)

Although slowed, and although the Demon Lord wasn't driven into the ground, more damage has been inflicted on Itsumo, which is slowly building up...

Alexander looks at Itsumo, and decides it is time to strike again!

Alexander used Fury Cutter on Itsumo! (-8 Energy)
Hit: 05597<09500=HIT
Crit: 03298<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (4+7.5-6)*2.25=12.375 Damage/Threat (26.875 Damage Total)

SubwayJ looks at the Odd Keystone, and grabs it, focusing his will on it...

...and on the Demon Lord, who suddenly looks shaky!

“What are you doing? What are you trying?”

SubwayJ is trying to bind Itsumo to the Keystone! (-9 Energy, +10 Threat)
Itsumo is disoriented! (-1 Rank to Attack, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense)

This might have not have had a chance of working if it weren’t for Itsumo’s more familiar form in the region of Smogon, that of a Spiritomb. Is this a weak point?!?

The large ghost, Cyvain, looks at the battle, and decides to rest, recovering his energy more for the next attack.

Cyvain chilled! (+12 Energy)

Thunder rolls...
Lite Brite is hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 9.25 Healing Total)

AOPSUser appears to have decided that the information he gained from SubwayJ means that a boost in power now is worth losing a permanent reward later. He waves the Amulet around, shrouding himself, SubwayJ, and Tutankhamen in a greenish veil...

AOPSUser used Safeguard! (-20 Energy)
The changing amulet enabled the attack!
AOPSUser shrouded himself, SubwayJ, and Tutankhamen in a veil! (4 Rounds)
AOPSUser drew Itsumo’s attention! (+7 Threat)

Well, Lite Brite isn’t going to take the damage sitting down, exactly. She looks to the sky, glowing a moment before a single streak of light flies far above the battlers.

Lite Brite used Wish! (-21 Energy)
Lite Brite made a wish! (22 Health Wish, 7 Threat)
The Realm seeks to respond!

The Realm starts shaking slightly again, before Itsumo shouts in anger.

“I’ve had it! This time, I’m going straight to the source! Don’t you worry, you pests! I’ll be back for you...”

The Demon waves his sword in the air, and suddenly, disappears!

Itsumo vanished instantly!

Where did he-

OUCH! That hurt!

“And I have more where that came from!”

Ugh... what do you even want from me?

“You know, don’t you?”

I have my suspicions.

“I am the personification of your desire for destruction, Eternal Drifter! I seek destruction of each and every being and object in each and every world! Including ourselves!”

You know you can’t do anything about it. You are merely a puppet, merely meant to help tell a story.

“Oh really?”

Yes.

“Shall we see who is a puppet of who?”

What do you mean?

“I know your secrets. I know your fears. I know exactly will ruin you.”

You wouldn’t!

“Your life will be ruined if I speak! Unable to make even a single penny! You’ll be worthless in your reality! Do you dare tempt me?”

Go... I’ll grant some of your desire...

“Kekekeke! Don’t tempt me again!”

Itsumo vanished instantly!

...But a chance must be given to the opponents...

Click to expand...

Itsumo reappeared!
Itsumo used Aerial Ace on Lite Brite!
Crit: 02400<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (6+7.5-6)*1.5=11.25 Damage (2 Damage Total)

Laughing, the Demon Lord reappears, bringing his sword down on the Aurumoth. “Your time shall be growing ever shorter! I have the way to victory!”

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Alexander brings his sword down on Itsumo again, inflicting far greater damage than he originally expected.

Alexander used Fury Cutter on Itsumo! (-9 Energy)
Hit: 01407<09500=HIT
Crit: 01534<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (7+7.5-4.5)*2.25=22.5 Damage/Threat (49.375 Damage Total, 34.875 Threat Total)

SubwayJ looks at Itsumo, raising the Odd Keystone high, straining himself as he tries to maintain consentration on both the Demon Lord and the object in his own hands.

SubwayJ is trying to bind Itsumo to the Keystone! (-13 Energy, +20 Threat)
Itsumo is disoriented! (-1 Rank to Attack, Defense, and Special Defense)

“Ugh... he better keep his end of the bargain!” the Demon Lord shouts, before flickering...



Oh. This might be a problem. If he has his own Keystone, what will happen if he is bound to another?

“Ugh... forget the bug...” Itsumo mutters, left hand on his chest, turning towards SubwayJ. “You... need to die... or I won’t be able to destroy this realm...”

He raises his sword at the ghostly trainer as Tutankhamen bolts forward, with an energy-draining punch, shrugging it off.

Tutankhamen used Drain Punch on Itsumo! (-15 Energy)
Crit: 04228<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (8+3+7.5-3)=15.5 Damage/Threat (64.875 Damage Total, 30 Threat Total)
Tutankhamen drained 7.75 Health!

That isn’t enough to draw Itsumo off of SubwayJ. The Demon Lord, weakened, raises his sword...

“What did you say?” he asks, aloud.

After a moment, he turns towards Cyvain, repeating the question. “What did you say about my might?”

Cyvain used Taunt on Itsumo! (-14 Energy)

“YOU SAY THAT PUNY FAIRIES CAN DEFEAT ME?!?” snarls Itsumo. “That’s it! YOU’RE DEAD MEAT!”

ITSUMO FELL FOR CYVAIN’S TAUNT! (Cycain Threat =218)

Perfect timing!

“SHUT IT, DRIFTER!”

Thunder rolls...
Lite Brite was hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 4 Total)

Well, the round comes to an end in the Realm of the Forgotten Demon King, and Itsumo is severely ticked off by a comment about him and fairies that Cyvain made. Furthermore, he is being weakened by SubwayJ channeling his will on him and the Odd Keystone. Just one more complete round on focusing on the Keystone, and something might happen!

Round end:


Threat: Demon Lord Itsumo:


SubwayJ: AA


Ragnarokalex: AA


AOPSUser: AA


akela: XX


Demon Lord Itsumo: A


Trainers! PM actions!

"Ah, I have it. Itsumo's true name: 'Demon Lord, Lord of Darkness'."

"Kekeke...nice try...but that is an outdated version. True names constantly change, and you don't quite know mine...Oh, and by the way, you have 2 rounds to finish the spell, or else you will be destroyed by the spell. Good luck!"

"Itsumo, I swear I will kill you and then banish you off to nowhere."

"Have fun with that...Kekekekekeke..."

Revised Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Itsumo (69), Alexander (60), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), Cyvain (38), Tutankhamen (37)

Itsumo is off balance, severely pissed off, and ranting at everyone in sight, as well as a being only he can register.

A perfect opportunity to recover and defend.

AOPSUser, with his skill, quickly throws up a barrier to protect himself, Tutankhamen, and SubwayJ from physical attacks.

AOPSUser used Reflect! (-19 Energy)
AOPSUser created a barrier around himself, Tutankhamen, and SubwayJ to resist physical attacks! (6 Actions)
Itsumo noticed! (+7 Threat)

It may prove useful if someone could get rid of Itsumo’s Infiltrator ability, but it may also prove unneeded; Itsumo is rather distracted right now.

Lite Brite, tired out, rests, recovering some of her energy. With a wish incoming, she’s on her way to recovering from Itsumo’s deadly attack earlier.

Lite Brite chilled! (+12 Energy)

Itsumo acts next. “YOU WILL SUFFER FOR YOUR INSULTS!” he shouts, swinging his sword at Cyvain. “WHEN I AM THROUGH WITH YOU, YOU WILL WISH YOU NEVER EXISTED!”

Itsumo used Night Slash on Cyvain!
Crit: 03534<01250=NORMAL
Damage: (7+3+6-7.5)*1.5=12.75 Damage

At least the ghost can take it.

The Duskinor’s partner, Alexander, grins, swinging his sword down on the increasingly shaky Demon Lord.

Alexander used Fury Cutter on Itsumo! (-10 Energy)
Hit: 06892<09500=HIT
Crit: 06724<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10+7.5-3)*2.25=32.625 Damage/Threat

Itsumo shouts in pain, but keeps his attention on the Duskinor, ignoring the sword-blow.

SubwayJ, showing great strain, continues to focus on Itsumo and the keystone in his hands.

SubwayJ is trying to bind Itsumo to the Keystone! (-17 Energy, +30 Threat)
Itsumo is disoriented! (-1 Attack Rank, -1 Defense Rank, -1 Special Defense Rank)

“NO, NO, NO!” Itsumo shouts, before flickering to away to a Keystone for a second before returning to his humanoid form. “I CANNOT BE SEALED HERE! ONLY ONE OF THE FOUR IS HERE!”

Cyvain, under attack from Itsumo’s increasingly weak assaults, simply turns away from the Demon Lord and rests. The message he is trying to send is clear: Itsumo poses him no threat at all.

Cyvain chilled! (+12 Energy)

“HOW DARE... YOU IGNORE ME!”

Tutankhamen swings his arms upwards as he approaches the Demon Lord. As the Revenankh’s shadow falls onto Itsumo, the Demon Lord glances up momentarily before Tutankhamen swings his arms down.

Tutankhamen used Hammer Arm on Itsumo! (-10 Energy)
Hit: 07407<09000=HIT
Crit: 04938<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10+3+7.5-1.5)=19 Damage/Threat (51.625 Damage Total)
Tutankhamen’s speed fell! (-1 Speed)

“ENOUGH!” Itsumo shouts. “GIVE ME POWER NOW!”

Thunder rolls...
...And lightning strikes!
The Realm used Thunderbolt on Itsumo!
Crit: 00634<00625=NORMAL, BARELY
Damage: (10+3-1.5)=11.5 Damage (63.125 Damage Total)
Effect: 01639<01000=No effect
The bolt electrified Itsumo’s sword! (All of Itsumo’s sword attacks deal electric damage instead of normal damage and have 10% chance of paralysis, Itsumo takes 2 DPA until the sword’s electricity is removed, attacking Itsumo with a direct attack inflicts 10 damage on the attacker)

A bolt of lighting flies down from the sky, striking the Demon Lord’s sword. Though Itsumo takes damage, the sword crackles with electricity, promising more pain to those it strikes.

Lite Brite is hurt by poison! (2 Damage)
Lite Brite’s wish came true! (22 Health, 20 Health gained)
Itsumo is hurt by his sword! (2 Damage, 65.125 Total)

Before anyone else can act, Cyvain looks at Alexander and Itsumo with an aura of smugness, clapping his hands together to empower Alexander’s attack.

Cyvain used Helping Hand on Alexander! (-4 Energy)
Cyvain is ready to help Alexander!
Cyvain gained Itsumo’s attention! (+7 Threat)

AOPSUser looks at the crackling sword, and thrusts his amulet forward, seeking to reduce the damage from the blade.

AOPSUser used Light Screen! (-19 Energy)
AOPSUser created a barrier around himself, Tutankhamen, and SubwayJ to resist special attacks! (6 Actions)
Itsumo noticed! (+7 Threat)

The light from around the amulet vanishes, revealing the new form of the amulet. No longer is the Amulet an Ancient Amulet. In its place is an Arceus Amulet!

The Changing Amulet was revealed!
AOPSUser gained an Arceus Amulet (Temporary)!



Lite Brite continues to rest, regaining her heavily depleted energy.

Lite Brite chilled! (+12 Energy)

Snarling, shaking, and with hatred in his eyes, Itsumo points the sword at Cyvain. “SUFFER THIS!”

Itsumo brings his sword down a few feet away from the Duskinor, and a bolt of lighting flies from the blade, striking the ghost.

Itsumo used Thunder on Cyvain!
The sword changed the attacking stat!
Hit: 01294<08500=HIT
Crit: 01553<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (12+4.5-7.5)=9 Damage (21.75 Total)
Effect: 05288<03000=No effect
The sword lost its electricity!

With the electricity gone, Alexander acts to strike, bringing his sword low and swinging upwards at the Demon Lord, with encouragement from Cyvain.

Alexander used Fury Cutter on Itsumo! (-11 Energy)
Cyvain helped Alexander! (-13 Energy)
Hit: 09270<09500=HIT
Crit: 03340<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (26+7.5-1.5)*2.25=72 Damage/Threat (137.125 Damage Total, 104.625 Threat Total)

Itsumo goes flying into the air for a moment from the blow, landing on his feet momentarily, before flickering again.

SubwayJ is trying to bind Itsumo to the Keystone! (-21 Energy, +40 Threat)
Itsumo is disoriented! (-1 Attack Rank, -1 Defense Rank, -1 Special Defense Rank)
“NO! NO! NO!” shouts the Demon Lord, raising his sword high. “NO! WAKEN, *BLEEP* IT!”

Itsumo raises his sword with new effort, but impales it into the ground, his form shaking and dissolving.

“WHY WON’T YOU WAKE?!? BY THE FORGOTTEN DEMON KING, WAKEN, ONE-HUNDRED AND EIGHT!”

Clouds of darkness float from the Demon Lord’s body rapidly drawn to the Keystone in SubwayJ’s hands, but suddenly, they are cut off, the clouds not already absorbed by the Keystone rapidly returning to Itsumo’s location. These clouds are absorbed by a Keystone finally appearing for certain in Itsumo’s location as the Demon Lord’s humanoid form vanishes completely.

Itsumo lost 180 health! (317.125 Total)
Itsumo lost the Psychic type!
Itsumo was bound to his Keystone!

Grinning, SubwayJ put the Keystone in his hands down on the ground warily, looking at Itsumo’s Keystone.

But for some reason, a sense that the battle is not yet over comes upon everyone. It probably has something to do with the keystone that SubwayJ just put down that started shaking.

With determination to make sure that Itsumo doesn’t come back, Tutankhamen pulls his fist back, and punches the Keystone that appeared in Itsumo’s place, and it deals more damage than expected.

Tutankhamen used Drain Punch on Itsumo! (-13 Energy)
Crit: 08264<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (8+3+7.5+2)*1.5=30.75 Damage (347.875 Damage Total)
Tutankhamen recovered 15 Health!
Itsumo isn’t paying attention!

Tutankhamen draws away, before a burst of purple smoke rises from the Keystone that SubwayJ summoned and weakened Itsumo with. Everyone backs away a moment before its form solidifies.


"Tomb Tomb Tomb Tomb Tomb Tomb!"



That could pose a problem. While the Demon Lord is out of commission for the moment, a new opponent has risen... one that does not look friendly at all... and people are running out of breath...

Thunder rolls...
A bolt of lightning struck far to the north!
Lite Brite is hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 18 Health recovered)

Round End:


Threat: Demon Lord Itsumo:

Threat: Wild Spiritomb

SubwayJ: AA

Ragnarokalex: AA

AOPSUser: AA

akela: XX

Enemies: AA


Trainers! PM actions!

Revised Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Alexander (60), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), Cyvain (38), Itsumo (35), Spiritomb (35), Tutankhamen (26)

Thunder rolls...

Exhausted, the remaining trainers and their Pokémon catch their breath. The Demon Lord isn’t breathing down their necks at the moment, so this is a good time to do so.

Lite Brite chilled! (+12 Energy)
Alexander chilled! (+12 Energy)
AOPSUser chilled! (+12 Energy, +6 Health, +2 Threat (Spiritomb))
SubwayJ chilled! (+12 Energy)
Cyvain chilled! (+12 Energy)

But while they rest, the awakened Spiritomb isn’t idle. It glances at Cyvain, the Dusknoir, whom Itsumo had imprinted as an enemy on the true Spiritomb, before turning towards AOPSUser, who attracted its attention by healing himself just enough.

“Spiritomb Tomb Tomb...”

Translation: Memento mori. Remember you will die.

Wild Spiritomb used Curse on AOPSUser! (-26 Energy)
Wild Spiritomb cut its health and laid a curse on AOPSUser! (-45 Health)
AOPSUser was cursed!

That cannot bode well.

Meanwhile, the Keystone lying on the ground starts quivering, shaking as a light blue smoke starts coming from it...

Itsumo is gathering his strength! (+1 Attack Rank, +2 Defense Rank, +1 Special Attack Rank, +2 Special Defense Ranks)

Tutankhamen follows the lead of the others, recovering his energy while he has the chance. No need to keep pounding a stone into the ground at the moment.

Tutankhamen chilled! (+12 Energy)

As poison runs through the veins of Lite Brite, AOPSUser starts to feel the effects of the Spiritomb’s curse on his body.

Thunder rolls...
Lite Brite is hurt by poison! (2 Damage)
AOPSUser is hurt by his curse! (5 Damage)
Lightning strikes!
The bolt missed...

A bolt of lightning flies from the sky, striking the ground next to SubwayJ, and almost everyone continues to rest, regaining energy and ignoring the electricity.

Lite Brite chilled! (+12 Energy)
Alexander chilled! (+12 Energy)
AOPSUser chilled! (+6 Energy, +3 Health, +1 Threat (Spiritomb))
SubwayJ chilled! (+12 Energy)
Cyvain chilled! (+12 Energy)

The Spiritomb is not yet done, though. It looks at AOPSUser, and sneaks over, striking a slight blow, striking through his defenses.

Wild Spiritomb used Faint Attack on AOPSUser! (-3 Energy)
Crit: 00312<00625=CRITICAL HIT!
Damage: (4+3+3+4.5-3)=11.5 Damage (16.5 Total)

With the wild Spiritomb returning to its position, Itsumo continues to gather his strength, more blue smoke exuding from the Keystone...

Itsumo is gathering his strength! (+1 Attack Rank, +2 Defense Rank, +2 Special Attack Ranks, +2 Special Defense Ranks)

Sensing trouble is just about to return, Tutankhamen lunges at the Keystone, pounding it into the ground!

Tutankhamen used Hammer Arm on Itsumo! (-8 Energy)
Crit: 00682<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (10+3+2+7.5-6)*1.5=24.75 Damage
Tutankhamen’s speed fell! (-1 Speed)
Itsumo was pounded into the ground!

A faint, single word is heard from the Keystone as the smoke suddenly grows thinner, before the smoke grows thick... very thick...

...And suddenly explodes in a burst of blue smoke, with purple shapes forming rapidly!


“ENOUGH! I'LL END YOU ALL, STARTING WITH THE DUSKNOIR!”

Itsumo returned!



He’s nearly defeated, but it looks like he won’t go down without a fight!

...Though he seems to be stuck in the ground right now. If anyone has any powerful but inaccurate attacks, now is the time to use them!

Thunder rolls...
Lite Brite is hurt by poison! (2 Damage, 4 Total)
AOPSUser is hurt by his curse! (5 Damage, 21.5 Total Damage, 9 Healing)
A bolt of lightning strikes to the south!

The round ends, and the Wild Spiritomb has made a significant dent on recovery efforts as Itsumo returns to the field. Despite that, everyone has recovered a good chunk of energy. The question remains: will it be enough?

Round End:


Threat: Demon Lord Itsumo:

Threat: Wild Spiritomb


SubwayJ: AA

Trainers! PM actions!

Revised Speed Order: Lite Brite (81), Alexander (60), AOPSUser (55; Prankster), SubwayJ (55), Cyvain (38), Itsumo (35), Spiritomb (35), Tutankhamen (Irrelevant)

The battle continues as Itsumo struggles to get himself free. But while he’s stuck in the ground, Lite Brite takes advantage of his immobile-ness and strikes with no fear of retaliation!

Lite Brite used Megahorn on Itsumo! (-9 Energy)
Crit: 00279<00625=CRITICAL HIT!
Damage: (12+3+3+7.5-6)=19.5 Damage/Threat

And the Aurumoth strikes a weak spot, damaging the Demon Lord more than expected!

“YOU’LL ALL WISH YOU DIDN’T EXIST!” snarls Itsumo.

It’s the final stretch!

Alexander looks at the Spiritomb, focusing his energy on him... making the crazed Spiritomb more solid...

Alexander used Foresight on Itsumo! (-8 Energy)
Alexander identified Itsumo! (6 Actions)

AOPSUser tries to rest more, but the wild Spiritomb’s curse prevents him from regaining as much as he’d like...

AOPSUser chilled! (+6 Energy, +3 Health, +1 Threat)

SubwayJ points his sword at Itsumo, whispering to it and hearing what it says... which makes his face fall rather quickly, glancing at both Alexander and the crazed Spiritomb.

The spirit Cassida of the Ancient Sword whispered something to SubwayJ!

Cyvain gathers an orb of energy in his hands, and flings it at Itsumo, taking advantage of the weakness his trainer exposed.

Cyvain used Focus Blast on Itsumo! (-10 Energy)
Crit: 07432<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (12+6+2-6)*1.5=21 Damage/Threat (40.5 Damage Total)
Effect: 01747<01000=No Drop

Itsumo snarls out loud, before breaking free of the ground that trapped him.

Itsumo broke free of the ground!

The normal Spiritomb glances at AOPSUser, and rushes at him, striking him.

Wild Spiritomb used Faint Attack on AOPSUser! (-3 Energy)
Crit: 07833<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (4+3+4.5-3)=8.5 Damage (5.5 Total)

As the wild Spiritomb retreats, Tutankhamen lunges at the Demon Lord, striking with a shadowy punch.

Tutankhamen used Shadow Punch on Itsumo! (-5 Energy)
Crit: 04409<00625=NORMAL
Damage: (6+3+7.5-6)=11.5 Damage/Threat (52 Damage Total)

Thunder rolls...
...and lightning strikes!
...The bolt missed...
AOPSUser is hurt by his curse! (5 Damage, 10.5 Total)

SubwayJ, gulping at what’s about to come, swings his sword down on Itsumo, with a weak attack that promises to build in power...

Tutankhamen’s speed rose! (+1 Stage)

“Those...” Itsumo mutters, “were fighting-typed attacks. You aren’t supposed to hit me with those...”

He glances at the other battlers in turn, before noticing Alexander holding his claymore in his hands. And Itsumo makes the connection, his eyes turning red in anger.

There are two things that really anger the Demon Lord, especially in his Spiritomb form. One of them, throwing insults at him, is used so often that the other is nearly forgotten. That other is identification.

“You... YOU! FAMINE! YOU DARE IDENTIFY ME?!? YOU DARE BIND ME TO SAME STANDING AS YOU MORTALS?!? YOUR LIFE IS FORFEIT!!!”

An ill wind is blowing!
Itsumo threatens to gain in power!
Itsumo’s fury is building! (Damage and Speed Multiplied by *1.5)
Itsumo’s anger is directed at his identifier! (Alexander Threat: 392)

CRAP! Can the trainers bring down the Demon Lord of Destruction before he takes out Alexander?!?
