Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
"Those first three must have been pretty impressive, but you're not winning this one!"
"Delicious." Sludge Wave ~ Dark Pulse ~ Sludge Wave IF Sunny Day AND not under the effects of Taunt THEN Taunt and push back. IF Leech Seed AND not under the effects of Taunt THEN Taunt and push back.
The young girl gives out a sharp cry in fear as the final attack- another tsunami of thick sludge, drowns her beloved pokemon. The attack doesn't seem to land a critical hit, yet the shrill call of the pokemon coupled by its abrupt end sends a chill down your spine. You feel Altair reach your side, her rhythmic joggle alerting you of the presence as you stare at the child rush towards the fallen pokemon.
"Hey Cherubi! Don't w-worry, I still have one potion left from what mommy had!"
She sputters the words out in a rush, small hands fumbling through the satchel at her side that you now notice is extremely tattered and dirty- just like her clothes. When she finally pulls out a musty lavender container of healing spray, you realize that it's too late.
The Cherubi isn't moving anymore, a crumpled pink body floating in a pool of toxins.
You hadn't even thought of the chance that Altair was strong enough to-
"C-c-come on Cherubi! Wake u-up! The potion isn't out yet!"
The kindergartner snaps you out of your thoughts as her cries get louder, a wavering tremble rising up out of her tiny stature. She desperately sprays the sparse contents of the medicine onto the Cherubi, and it's obvious that the reality of the situation is quickly dawning upon her. The girl hastily tosses the potion aside and pulls her lost pokemon into her arms, the slime from the killing blow getting all over her scrape covered skin.
"Hey, don't get that stuff on y-!" You cry out in surprise, remembering that you aren't a frozen statute as you run towards the girl and try to pull her out of the muck. She's full blown sobbing now, her face buried into the soft frame of the Cherubi.
"C-C-C-HER-U-U-BI-BI-BIIII... Y-Y-YOU H-H-AVE TO W-WAK-K-KE UP PLEASE! YOU C-CAN'T G-G-GO SEE MOMMY Y-Y-YET.. I N-N-EE-EE-D Y-YOU..."
You manage to get the girl out of the sludge, but she's kicking and screaming incoherently in your arms. You try and find words to comfort her... but what can you say? You just sent her only pokemon, and seemingly her only guardian, to an early grave.
When she passes out from exhaustion, lungs heaving and body quavering until they have to rest, you're able to alert the authorities anonymously and flee the scene.

Iron Caliber has defeated round one of Battle Hall!
It has been two weeks since you've fled urban life, and you're finally starting to get into the pace of being a guilty hermit. The mountain range is abundant with the tools necessary for survival, yet lacking in company outside the rare pokemon that lurks in the forests or caves.
Until you hear your front door break open in the middle of the night.
<<I'm hungry. I'm going to eat some of your food, mmkay?>>
"I'm hungry. I'm going to eat some of your food, mmkay?"
"Those Hall officials are still following us?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just hungry!"
"Yeah, okay, sure." Swagger ~ Dark Pulse ~ Dark Pulse IF Flinched THEN push back. IF damaging Psychic-type combination THEN Fake Out on the first instance and Protect on the second, pushing back each time.

Type: Bug Bug: Bug STAB; Adds an additional guaranteed attack on all multi-hit moves (does not include two hit moves) with a total hit cap of five (5).
Abilities: Swarm / Shed Skin / No Guard (HA Locked) Swarm (Passive): When this Pokemon's HP is lower than 33% (flat), the Base Attack Power of any Bug-typed attack is increased by 2. Shed Skin (Passive): This Pokemon regularly sheds its skin and any impurities contained in its body. If afflicted with a status condition, this Pokemon has a 33% chance of removing all status conditions at the end of a round. No Guard (Passive) (H): This Pokemon has an immense confidence from perfecting each of its attacks, giving them all perfect accuracy as well as ignoring the effects of Double Team, evasive moves, Dodge, Sky Drop, and evasive damaging moves. As a result, it feels it can weather every strike, and will not dodge an attack even if ordered to. Only when an OHKO move is issued by the opponent does the Pokemon sense return, and the Pokemon acts normally. Additionally, even with their extra skill, the power and exhaustion involved in using OHKO moves prevents them from being benefited by No Guard; they will have their normal accuracy.
