Mowtom's Pokemon:

Aura the Riolu

Riolu [Aura] (F)

Aura is yet another of Mowtom's Pokemon who first hatched from an Egg. She is wiser than all of the others together, though, being able to sense what no others can. Except when it comes to the secrets some of Mowtom's Pokemon hold, including Mystery, Gamzee, Mummy...ok, that is a fairly major blind spot.

Type: Fighting

• Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions on Circle Throw, Seismic Toss, Sky Drop, Storm Throw, Submission, and Vital Throw.

Abilities: Steadfast / Inner Focus / Prankster (Locked)

• If this Pokemon is flinched, it becomes aware of the speed difference and increases its Speed (adjusting the natural stage) by one (1) stage to make up the difference.
• When an opponent attempts to flinch this Pokemon, it stands firm and continues its attack. If it has another ability that would be activated by flinching, that ability activates.

End of Round

Riolu: -27 HP, -19 EN
Buneary: -40 HP, -22 EN

As the first round of this riveting battle gets started, Riolu can can sense the oncoming danger and forms a barrier around herself. That is sure to keep her safe from any harm. Buneary's plan of attack is to slow the enemy down to try and overcome the type disadvantage, but the blue waves of thunder he produces just hit the barrier and fizzle out.

Riolu plays a patient game, and lets Buneary execute his next attack first. Buneary capitalizes, and begins to burrow underground. Riolu bides her time as Buneary emerges from beneath the earth and strikes her with a powerful Dig. Riolu, however, is able to grab onto Buneary's ear and throw him into a nearby wall. Ouch.

Buneary is quite angry about that last attack, and channels his rage into a fierce tackle that knocks Riolu back. Riolu recovers from the attack and jumps into the air, gaining position on her opponent. She strikes from above, nailing Buneary right in the chest with a powerful kick. That last attack from Riolu did a lot of damage; how will Buneary be able to cope?

Wait, is that Agility the boosting one or the evasive one?

Lopish: "Ah, if I could see her aura I'd know for sure which version she'll use -- at least I think I would. What exactly is an aura anyways?"

Dig ~ Dig ~ Dig
IF Riolu is faster than Buneary a2 THEN Teeter Dance + Baby-Doll Eyes a2 and pray for the best.

End of Round
Riolu: -11 HP, -18 EN
Buneary: -45 HP, -25 EN

As the battle continues, Buneary burrows underground in an attempt to dodge Riolu's attacks, as he wasn't about to take another powerful hit. Riolu, however, took the time while her opponent was out of sight to focus on making himself faster, so her opponent couldn't get the jump on her again. Buneary then emerged from the ground, striking Riolu with his Dig attack.

Buneary knew that Riolu was now the faster opponent, and that he was running out of options. In a swift movement, he began dancing around, shooting quick glances at Riolu every time he turned around. This display confused Riolu, but she was able to shake herself out of it and preform another powerful kick to Buneary's chest. However, this kick came with slightly less power, because those glances caused Riolu to take pity when preforming her attack.

Riolu was still quite confused about the dance, but again she was able to overcome that confusion. Using a special technique, Riolu preformed a palm-strike on Buneary. Riolu was able to aim for a weak spot in Buneary's fur, causing the attack to deal extra damage. As Buneary has to rest from performing his combo, things certainly look dire.

Yep, this seems about right.

Lopish: "You know, if I knew you were asking me to dig my own grave I would've put a bit more effort into it. This one is too long -- and narrow, too.
