The shadows lengthened, The sun's lower rim touching the hills far to the west. From the North, an illusion of a man appeared. His skin the tinge of sickly green and gray, his hair and clothes the colour of near-royal purple, Itsumo-Spiritomb came forward, wearing the guise of of a man. Behind him, a Zoroark flitted about in the shadows. Such a sight raised the eyebrows of certain onlookers - for there has been a petty but violent argument going on between the two, one whose not even E_D, their Trainer, would begin to unravel, let alone bandy about to strangers. As usual, E_D himself is nowhere to be seen. There are plenty of rumours concerning his behaviour, of course, but until they were verified or discarded, rumours they remain - and it is not my place to speak unfairly and dishonestly about others.

Mirage (Female Zoroark)
Hasty Nature

Type: Dark
Dark STAB; immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.
Abilty:
Illusion:
Type: Passive
Whenever you send this Pokemon out, it can feign the appearance of another member on your squad. If this Pokemon is damaged by a direct attack, the Illusion will cease at the end of the round. Direct damage is any attack that does damage to the Pokemon's HP. Attacks that are evaded, blocked via Protect, or damage a Substitute are not considered direct damage. It will retain the typing and moveset of the Pokemon with Illusion. [Usage Note: PM the ref if you are sending out a Zorua or Zoroark with the info on Zorua/Zoroark and one of your squad members in a Switch=KO battle. You must use that squad member later in the battle though.]

From the south, a robed man materialised from the low mist clinging to the arena. His brown hair flowing behind his hair, Lou didn't walk so much as glide forward, his eyes like the starry night that may cloud with rumbling thunderstorms within a mere blink. It is said that those who looked into Lou's eyes and listen to his beguiling speech would soon fall to his thrall, never to awaken until it pleases him. Granted, most of Lou's closer acquaintances have their own protection around him, but nevertheless, those eyes now showed something faintly resembling amusement as he approached the center of the arena with his counterpart.

Absol stands apart from other individuals - even teammates - as a matter of choice. She approaches conflict slowly, and after much thought. Bringing a cold stare and colder temper to bear, Absol favors a prudent offense to more zealously aggressive strategies, and always prepares a backup plan.

Voodoom ♂ - Fables
Nature: Naïve (Spe +17, Accuracy +19%, SpD: -1)
Type: Fighting / Dark
Fighting Type - Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions of throwing/grappling moves. Superior reaction time in close quarters.
Dark Type - Dark STAB; Immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.

Abilities:

A Pokemon that attacks itself with electricity to heal only recieves 25% of the damage that attack would do to itself. Thunder Wave has no effect on the Pokemon.
Lightningrod - (Innate) These Pokemon naturally attract electricity to themselves and away from partners in double battles. When struck with an Electric attack, they transfer the energy into their body, using it to increase their Special Attack by one (1) stage.

If a Pokemon has a type immunity to Electric attacks, Lightning Rod will not activate.

Thunder Wave) into an energy source that allows it to boost its speed by one (1) level. A boost gained this way by an opponent's attack will be maintained at the end of each round.

Built of cloth, stuffing, and rage, Tee Hee finds enjoyment in battle. Toying with foes if he's ahead, or growing frustrated if he's behind, is his norm. He's quick to hold a grudge against troublesome foes, but just as quick to be distracted by a new challenge.

Loyal to a fault, Oddjob is lost without a guiding authority to direct himself with. With little initiative of his own, Oddjob requires constant orders to perform in battle. When given the proper guidance, however, Oddjob is ruthlessly efficient and unflinchingly zealous in his efforts, often foregoing sleep in order to complete a directive.

Scrafty ♂ - Love Machine

Type: Dark / Fighting
Dark Type - Dark STAB; Immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.

Ever up for a challenge, Love Machine is defined by a curiosity that blends with a distinct stubbornness. If he wants to get a better look at something, any obsticles between him and that thing are due for a rude awakening.

Sableye ♂ - Washington
Nature: Brave (Atk: +1, Spe -7, Evasion -10%))
Type: Dark / Ghost
Dark Type - Dark STAB; Immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.
Ghost Type - Ghost STAB; brief intangibility that nullifies Normal and Fighting-type attacks. Can move through walls for a brief period of time but must remain in motion. Superior senses in low light and inside dark buildings. Have no vision reduction in hazes.

Abilities:
Keen Eye - (Innate) This Pokemon has extremely good vision and cannot have its accuracy lowered by an opponent through any means (including accuracy lowering attacks, Smogs, Hazes, Fog, etc.). Its attacks are still affected by an opponent’s evasion and the Pokemon's own accuracy.
Stall - (Innate) This Pokemon has a watchful eye and immense patience. It can be ordered to attack last on any action regardless of ordinary attack priority. If an opponent orders their Pokemon to attack after Sableye, that attack will fail. Against another Sableye, the trainer who issues attacks first has precedence and the opponent's attack will fail.
(DW) Prankster - (Innate) The Pokemon is always prepared for engaging in sneaky tactics and trickery, giving its non-damaging attacks an increase in priority level.

An utter scoundrel, Washington is easily swayed by the charms of others. Attempting to work his charms on others carries mixed results, but he still puts out a solid effort in battle... Presuming that the foe hasn't wiled him with its charms.

Colossoil ♂ - Duskdale
Nature: Naïve (Spe +15, Accuracy +14%, SpD: -1)
Type: Dark / Ground
Dark Type - Dark STAB; Immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.

Guts - (Innate) This Pokemon is tenacious and will work ever harder when under a status condition, raising the Base Attack Power of all its physical attacks by two (2). Pokemon with Guts ignore the attack drop from burn.
(DW) Pressure - (Innate) This Pokemon’s presence fills the air with intense anxiety, and any damaging or status attack launched at this Pokemon costs the opposing Pokemon two (2) more energy to perform.

And what of I? I am merely a journalist and a herald, recording the events that take place tonight. I fear the dark, true, but it is the unknown within that reproaches me, and as duty brings me, so I shall tread the dark. Few others are observing this as well, albeit from a safer distance. But no matter, for tonight, an aristocrat of the darkness shall claim his right.

Neither spoke as they came face to face, thirty feet away from each other. The shadows lengthened, and danced as they became... substantial.

Itsumo-Spiritomb's facade curled it's lips in an attempt at a sneer. Lou simply inclined his head in return. From the near-black skies, two strange avian shadows swooped down. Upon closer inspection, it was made clear that they look misshapen because they were carrying loads - OK-Scrafty riding on FTD-Hydreigon from the north, Washington-Sableye dangling upon the claws of Oddjob-Honchkrow from the south. The self-styled Oblivion Knight loosed forth a chilling battle cry, and Lou's team seemed to shuffle a bit, unsure of their intentions to battle. But a raised eyebrow from Lou got them both on the go again, for they rather face brutal combat rather than their Trainer's dark displeasure. Despite the liveliness on Lou's team - E_D's are just ominously melancholic, by comparison - there was not a soul on the field who did not know the importance of this battle. Lou's pair mockingly saluted, as I tossed the coin upwards, letting it vanish into the darkness. And it dropped.

(Nice choice of music for this battle, LouisCyphre. I'll probably put up a link to another battle theme later on, though, once a couple of my Pokemon are out. Until then... I do not think I could hope for a more worthy opponent for this position. Good luck to both of us!)​


"So we meet on the field of battle at last! I hope you manage to give me an entertaining battle! There can be few masters of darkness... one needs tricks, power, and skill. Do you have all three? Can you even hope to face the might of the Demons? Kekekeke!"​

Due to Sableye's exceptionally low BST, he gains two ranks per stat from Everstone, making him 6/5/3/3.

I'm also suddenly uncomfortably aware that Colossoil, post-revision, doesn't learn Torment anymore. That should... probably be taken out.


My strength doesn't come from trickery. It comes from knowing the tools I am given, knowing the errors of my foes, planning to best use them, and having faith that my team will carry out the plan.

Do not be fooled. Though trainers guide and shape strength, they are not the source of it.

Oddjob! Washington! Demonstrate for these supposed demons what true mastery is.

Oddjob - Whirlwind + Air Cutter | Cooldown (Roost) | Roost

Washington - Substitute (15 HP) | Focus Punch (Oblivion) | Focus Punch (Oblivion)

Always a Prankster at heart, Washington-Sableye knew better than to trust others not to do the same to him as he planned to exact upon others. Twisting a Substitute out of thin air proved easy enough for the gem-eyed poltergeist, then it laid low in wait, taking care not to show it's demented grin. OK-Scrafty failed to Knock the shadows apart before they were fully formed, and thus frustrated that his quarry eluded him, resorted to the other target at hand - Oddjob-Honchkrow. Whom, thus far, merely flapped in the air, eying both it's opponents while Terror and Despair alternately breathed and clamped their Jaws upon him.

For much of their attacks, though, it seems that the northern team is merely testing the waters, which led the southern side to exploit that moment in hesitation. Washington-Sableye suddenly rose out of nowhere to land a Focused uppercut-straight one-two at OK-Scrafty, and in that moment where hydra and brawler caught by surprise, Oddjob-Honchkrow send a sharp Shear of Whirlwind straight at them both, visibly relaxing as he could finally Roost his battle-worn wings. The resulting temporary sandstorm stung and blinded, scattering OK-Scrafty and FTD-Hydreigon's focus, but most importantly, it actually revealed Itsumo-Spiritomb's disguise.

Now in it's default form, it simply cackles. As if in answer, the very earth shook as Kyofu-Tyranitar rose mere inches in front of Lou, sloughing off mud and dirt like a waterfall. Personally, I am impressed - apart from the strain at the corners of Lou's eye, neither his composure nor his stature betrayed his surprised. But even that passed by quickly, for Lou now has a decision to make, one that will spring the counterattack laid against him in earnest - or should I say, in deceit?

Sand goes flying everywhere at Kyofu's last words, calling forth a sandstorm to the field. Can it even be hoped that one can stand against them?!?


This may not end well... even if their opponent wins, they'll be sure to take out the stadium with them...

I'm growing weary of this posturing farce. Yes, yes, you're very spooky. True demons lurk in the hearts of men.

Oddjob, I can always count on you to excel at your task. You have performed splendidly. Take an intermission!


Love Machine! Let's kick this show into the next act!

Wonderful. The Trainers watching from afar had to call out their helpful Pokemon to help shield against the stinging sands while they continue to observe the fight. Me? I get to wear goggles and face masks. By the way, LM-Scrafty's roar would have been more... Intimidating had he not been fiddling with his pants all the while.

But as soon as those girdles are properly tied, the gutter rat snapped forward and shoved Kyofu-Tyranitar back, flipping the latter with a Fake move and obstinately putting himself as a target in front of Lou. But by then the self-styled Demon Lords have another in mind... Perhaps E_D has observed well what a Sableye can do. Or perhaps Itsumo-Spiritomb cannot stand the thought of such a counterpart making a mockery of him. The Substitute is swallowed whole by Itsumo-Spiritomb's Dark maw, only to be spat out as a Sphere of Flames ("Such a petty name for a petty shadow.") phased into the poltergeist, inflicting some ghostly internal burns.

Yet Washington-Sableye stomached it all as he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with LM-Scrafty, going toe-to-toe with the rock behemoth who is actually retreating from the Kickboxing - could be strategically executed, but a retreat nonetheless. Digging down to avoid the first blow, warping a Substitute to deflect the second - for such a size, Kyofu-Tyranitar is certainly faster than what appearances belie. Or maybe it is simply the night playing with perceptions of space and time. The dark underworld has shown today that nothing is out of ordinary when out of the sun - the very nature of offence and defence takes on roles that were verily anathema to their own definitions.

ONe thing's for sure, though, the mega-egoistical Itsumo-Spiritomb sure didn't like being insulted and ignored...

Alright, we've waited long enough. Washington, you've done fantastically, and you're exiting the stage with a bang! Love Machine, your time is now! Blow a hole in these illusions, and in this match!

Foresight: The Pokémon's eyes emit a red scanning beam that reveals illusions. This allows both the user and other Pokemon to hit the target through all evasive maneuvers, evasion boosts, and the user's own accuracy drops, as well as Ghost-type Pokemon with Normal- and Fighting-type attacks. This effect lasts for six (6) actions, but only against the target of the move.

Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 6 | Attack Type: Other | Effect Chance: -- | Contact: No | Typing: Normal | Priority: 0 | CT: Passive


Washington - Foresight (Itsumo) | Embargo | Protect (Love Machine)

Love Machine - Hi Jump Kick (Itsumo) | Drain Punch (Itsumo) | Focus Punch (Itsumo)

The thing with Gym qualifiers - you're very liable to see doppels. So I'm not surprised when LM-Scrafty meets OK-Scrafty. And I'm not going to comment on who's the evil twin of whom. Suffice to say, E_D still plays a long-term toolbox defensive strategy, Knocking Off items from Lou's team while slowly sapping them of power and speed. On the other hand, Lou pulls a standard artillery strategy - with one member having the Foresight to do the scouting and the Protective support, while the other Focus Punches from the High. Unfortunately - or perhaps fortunately - Washington-Sableye survive despite Lou's lamenting disappointment. On the other hand...

"HOW DARE YOU, A MERE MORTAL! YOU SHALL PA-"
"Yes, yes, dire consequences, inevitable retribution, horrible fates awaiting, sudden painful death, and all that. Now go away."

Such was Lou's answer to Itsumo-Spiritomb's last words, which made every human within a one-mile radius clapped hands to ears. The Zoroark seems a little uplifted - maybe her beloved Trainer might make an appearance now......

This is a prime moment for momentum to swing back towards our opponent. Let's fix that.


Oddjob! You're tagging in for Washington!

Switch Phase - Oddjob replaces Washington.
Oddjob retains his Expert Belt.
 

"I fully expected that, even though I wanted to bring Itsumo's bane down. Carry on."

Switch last round. Cannot Counterswitch.

Counterswitch declined.

Now we simply bide our time. Let's stay productive while we do so.

Oddjob - Sky Attack (Oblivion) | Brave Bird (Oblivion) | Sky Attack (Oblivion)
Upon Oblivion's successful protective / evasive without transfer, Hidden Power Kyofu.
Upon Oblivion's Counter, Air Cutter that action.
If Oblivion is KO'd, Hidden Power Kyofu.

Love Machine - Low Kick (Kyofu) | Drain Punch (Kyofu) | Low Kick (Kyofu)
Upon Kyofu's Counter, Fake Out him only once and Headbutt on other instances.
Upon Kyofu's protective / evasive, Low Kick Oblivion.
If Kyofu is KO'd, chill.
 
(I have not used Fake Out yet this battle. This will help my plans...)

"Hmph! We may fall, but your servant is coming with us! Now, strike!"

Oblivion Knight:
Action 1: Fake Out (Oddjob)
Action 2: False Punch (Fake Out+Drain Punch Combo: Love Machine)
Action 3: Cooldown (Focus Punch: Love Machine)

IF False Punch is not a valid combo, False Slap (Fake Out+Fake Out Combo: Love Machine) instead.

Kyofu:
Action 1: Rock Slide
Action 2: Fatal Retaliation (Retaliate+Retaliate Combo: Oddjob)
Action 3: Cooldown (Counter)

I'll assume that you both chose not to activate your Scrafty's Intimidate, even when your opponent sends in a new mon.

It looks like clouds are gathering. A night storm is brewing, with the wind adding life to the shadows swirling amongst the sands. In a ploy to lure his opponent to a vulnerable position, OK-Scrafty bobbed and weaved, his first feint managed to Fake Out Oddjob-Honchkrow while Kyofu-Tyranitar's heavy Rocks rained fatal Retaliation for the lost of Istumo-Spiritomb. Be that as it may, E_D looked away too early. Oddjob-Honchkrow Bravely landed a parting gift that, oddly enough, struck OK-Scrafty cold just when the latter is spent. That attack carries the trademark of a mobster king - a counter-ploy that pulled off sucessfully, and left LM-Scrafty the only one left standing when the sand and shadows cleared briefly enough for others to see the results of the round. For Lou's gutter rat fighter has taken the opportunity to viciously land Punch after blow upon the Kyofu-Tyranitar's weak points, utilising dangerous and what others may call "dishonourable" moves to bring the behemoth Low.

What was even more unpredictable, is the fact that Lou has yet to even reveal his last team member. Will Ferre-Absol come out to deliver the coup de grace? Or will Lou prove no longer to favour his trademark Pokemon of dark, sinister disasters?

Oddjob, you've yet again failed to disappoint. Take an intermission!

I don't think it's a mystery whom his replacement will be. I call now on my most trusted, my comrade, my killer angel; Ferre! Come forth and put these false demons to rest!

Was there ever any doubt?



Ferre replaces Oddjob.
Ferre holds Expert Belt.
