Arena:

A subterrainean cavern plays host to this pokemon battle. The cavern is 50ft x 30ft x 100ft. There is a 15 ft circle opening from the top of the arena, the only source of light in the arena. The ground is soft, making it easy to dig. The walls are made of jagged rock. You can see anything in the circle clearly, 5ft outside the circle dimly, and nothing at all outside of that.

And without further ado, our challengers!

3... 2... 1... FIGHT!

[FinnRagetti]

Zuruggu, show your stuff! (holding Oran Berry)

Payback-->Drain Punch-->Faint Attack into the Shadows

[Tortferngatr]

"Okay, Freeze. You can beat this guy-even if he LOOKS tough on the special side, you can make yourself tougher. Tail Glow, move away from Drain Punch using your superior speed, then Tail Glow a second time. The light ought to prevent Scraggy from sneak attacking from the shadows."

-Tail Glow-Command: move away from Scraggy using superior speed-Tail Glow-

Not sure if consecutive move rule applies when separated by a command.

Shouldnt imo

[Limewire]

And we are off!

Freeze, gaping at Rex's enormous Special Defense stat, decides to pull of a Tail Glow. Rex is annoyed that Freeze is trying to stall it out instead of directly attacking it, and launches a Payback at the bug. The attack does quite a bit of damage and Freeze winches.

Next, Rex attempts to rub salt onto the wound by firing off a Drain Punch. Freeze, however, is almost twice as fast as the little gangster and easily dodges the attack. Rex's patience is running low, and decides to launch a sneaky Faint Attack by running into the shadows. Freeze anticipates this, though, and fires off another Tail Glow. This catches Rex off a bit, and he only scratches Freeze before stumbling back.

Freeze is near the center of the arena. Rex is about 9 feet behind him, still rubbing his eyes.

Out-of-character refereeing callout: Waitwaitwait.

I used Tail Glow twice. Doesn't that mean that at the end of the turn, I should have +5 special attack, counting boost decay? (Explain your reasoning as to why TG only boosted special attack a single time)

[FinnRagetti]

Its Tortferngatr's turn as well.

EDIT: Never mind, you were right. I assumed that the first boost automatically dropped to 0 instead of +2 at the end of the round.

[Tortferngatr]

"Alright then Freeze, he looks dazed, so it's time to pay up front would some CompoundEyes-boosted power. Blizzard-Earth Power to conserve energy-Blizzard."

[FinnRagetti]

Rex, Dont let the Tail Glow to you! Keep warm with your fists of fury! Avoid being directly infront of the little bugger's blizzards (attack at the sides)

Freeze is all pumped up and ready to go. He fires off a powerful Blizzard at Rex, who tries to escape my moving diagonally, but is a bit too slow. Rex shivers a bit and quickly gets to his senses. He retaliates with a Fire Punch, which knocks back Freeze quite a bit into the dark.

Freeze gets back on his feet, and sends a sonar pulse using the power of earth throughout the ground. Rex is looks confused until the pulse reaches his feet and explodes, sending him back into the dark as well. Rex smiles, as the darkness makes him feels at home. Suddenly, the 'lil gangster pulls out his shades and starts to break dance. Freeze is completely pissed off at Rex's swagger and confused as well. The ice bug tries to launch a Blizzard at him, but is stunned by his awesome dancing skills and hurts himself. Rex takes advantage of this moment by attacking again with Fire Punch, knocking Freeze away again. The intensity of the attack snaps Freeze out of confusion.

FinnRagetti, go!

[FinnRagetti]

Rex, show off your Swagger some more. That seems to slow the little bugger down.

Swagger-->Fire Punch-->Rock Slide

That'll finish it off I hope.

[Tortferngatr]

"Ignore Rex's girth as he Swaggers like a fool. Use Icy Wind to cool his fists down, and then Blizzard. You're a Mountaineer-you can dodge rocks any day of the week."

Rex pulls out his shades again and attempts to unnerve Freeze with his Swaggah, but Freeze isn't going to fall for the same trick twice. Nope, the little ice bug instead ignores him and fires a blast of icy cold wind at his hands. Rex is enraged that Freeze would dare interrupt his awesome break dancing skills, and pimp slaps him with a Fire Punch. However, because his hands are frozen solid, the punch dealt only neutral damage (his hands are unfrozen now). Freeze now retaliates with a mighty powerful Blizzard, sending Rex flying across. The lil' gangstar attempts to counter by ramming the ground and creating a Rock Slide, but Freeze's Mountaineer ability allows him to dodge the rocks easily.

*Icy Wind did not cause any damage nor a speed drop since it was aimed at Rex's arms rather than his body.

Freeze is in the center of the arena. Rex is 20 feet away, in the darkness where Freeze cannot see him. In addition, the darkness may give Rex, a Dark-type, an advantage. Keep this in mind, battlers.

Tortferngatr, it is your turn now. Go!

[Tortferngatr]

"Blizzard, Blizzard, Blizzard! Go all-out, Scraggy's almost down! Use your CompoundEyes and residual Tail Glow light (the stuff from a couple rounds ago) to observe him in the dark!"

[FinnRagetti]

He cannot see you if you are invisible.

Faint Attack him through the shadows. Be invisible when you strike him

Follow it up with two Fire Punches to finish him off

[Tortferngatr]

"He has 20 feet to cover-you have 6 eyes. Stay on guard."

You cant see a shadow in a dark now can you?

Syclar is in the center of the arena-the umbra of the shadow is 20 feet away. If Syclar were to see Scraggy from either the side or the front, he would be able to quickly move and pinpoint a Blizzard at it. (Compoundeyes, remember?)

Though I see the concept of a backstab...

Fair point. We'll see how sneaky a Dark Pokemon can truly be!

Freeze uses his residue Tail Glow and his Compound Eyes to squint and search for Rex in the shadows. He sees a sillhoute, and fires off a Blizzard. Rex, however, is in his element- he easily dodges the attack with a Faint Attack and slams into the ice bug from the behind. Surprised, Freeze attempts to fire off another powerful Blizzard, but not before getting slammed by a nasty Fire Punch. Both attacks send each other flying (Fire Punch somewhat softened the damage Rex recieved from Blizzard) ten feet apart. Their HP are dangerously low, and both Pokemon are panting and struggling to get on their feet. After much effort, Rex gets up and attempts another Fire Punch by stepping into the shadow and attacking Freeze from the rear. Freeze anticipates this, however, and musters off all of his energy to create one final Blizzard. The attack misses Rex's body, but puts out the fire in his arms, so Fire Punch only dealt neutral damage to the bug.

Both Pokemon are in the center of the arena, 7 feet apart. They are panting heavily and both of them look as if they will fall apart in any second. This could be the final round! FinnRagetti, go!

[FinnRagetti]

ONE MORE TIME!!!

Rex tried to win the match for his beloved master, FinnRagetti. He tried very hard. But in the end, Freeze was faster and ended it all with a +2 Blizzard. Rex hangs his head in shame as the cold blast of wind knocks him unconscious.
