Temperantia vs. Orkonaut [ref: i have no idea] (Temperantia wins by DQ!)

[HD]

3v3 singles
DQ time: 3 days
2 recovers; 5 chills
Arena: The Forest of Souls, said to be over a thousand years standing. The ancients used to bury their dead in the relative seclusion of this mysterious and dark grotto. The ancients' souls are now said to inhabit the various flora (trees mainly) and thus has caused them to gnarl and grow throughout the forest floor. Dark, Bug and Ghost-type Pokemon are known to flock here. Various "circumstances" that may happen in this arena are up for the ref to decide.

tl;dr Darkly lit clearing in a forest, Bug, Dark, Ghost-types may be about, the Ground is o'ergrown with roots preventing Digging.

I will accept the challenge, like a pro.
Switch = KO
No Items
Ability = ONE!

i have not yet decided what the circumstances may be - but be warned, don't disturb the fauna

"Let's go, Mr. Bubbles (Croagunk)!" Lenneth says with a following sadistic giggle.

"I see you're starting with a subtle approach as always, sister."

 

[Orkonaut]

Let's go towards Victory! Get em' Staryu!
Start with a Cosmic Power, then Thunderbolt, and Cosmic Power again!

 

[Temperantia]

"Croagunk, you're not just let him set in frony of you like that are you?"

Croagunk answers this question with an emphatic shake of the head, not quite understanding its rhetorical nature.

"Give him a Fake Out to knock him down a few pegs. Continue with the dirty tricks using Sucker Punch, and following by giving Staryu a healthy dose of your Swagger!"

Fake Out-> Sucker Punch -> Swagger

Mr. Bubbles and Victory stare each other down in the center of a small clearing surrounded by gnarled trees on all sides, eager to start destroying each other with powerful attacks. As the rising star starts to initiate a Cosmic Power, it's cut off with a sharp Fake Out! Victory flinches, forgetting what it planned to do and reconciling from the frog.

Victory, angry at Mr. Bubbles for interrupting its concentration, is about to fire off an attack when the poisonous frog leaps forward and Sucker Punches it. Victory is surprised, although not to the point to flinching, and fires off a Thunderbolt from the point blank range.

Victory, after pausing for a moment waiting for Mr. Bubble's jumping in, starts to draw in Cosmic Power. The power from the cosmos boost the starfish's Defense and Special Defense to allow it to handle stronger moves in the future. Mr. Bubbles, on the other hand, starts to suck Victory's e-dick; raising the star's Attack stat two (2) stages but intensely confusing it.

temperantia first

 

[Temperantia]

"Lenneth, it's our move first, so I suggest we plan for every possible attack and calculate the best pos-"
"Whatever, poindexter. You can play with your silly little numbers and charts, while I do the actual battling. Bubbles, first use Poison Jab, then follow through with a Taunt to the opponent. Finally, use Poison Jab again."
"But if on the 1st or 3rd turn (not on both though) a Psychic attack or Thunderbolt is used, Sucker Punch the opponent!"
"What did I tell you about backseat battling! Wait your own turn, sheesh!"

The squabbling dies down as the twins wait for their opponent's move...

Poison Jab-> Taunt -> Poison Jab
Replace Poison Jab once for Sucker Punch if Thunderbolt or Psychic type move is used

 

[Orkonaut]

Alright Victory! Our opponent is playing the contingency game! Let's not let him get at us!
Recover off your wounds, and Cosmic Power! Then, smash him with another Thunderbolt! Let's destroy this bloated frog!

Cosmic Power - Recovery - Thunderbolt

round two... of a match between two fish

Mr. Bubbles launches forward, toxins covering his paw, with a Poison Jab aimed at Victory. The starfish weathers the attack and starts to collect cosmic energy in a ball in front of it, and then absorbing that ball - however, in Victory's confusion, the ball of energy was actually damaging. The starfish hit itself in confusion!

Victory's center starts glowing brightly as the yellow starfish gathers energy in an effort to Recover its health. Mr. Bubbles, undaunted, Taunts Victory to prevent the starfish from pulling this shit again. No more health and defenses for you!

Victory starts to gather electrical energy from the atmosphere. However, it is interrupted as Mr. Bubbles leaps forward in a Sucker Punch. This does not stop the gathering of electricity and firing it off in a Thunderbolt. Mr. Bubbles is sent backwards, near a tree. There seems to be some rustling. Maybe if some of the fauna was disturbed, there will be an occurrence? Victory is still in the rough center of the clearing, Mr. Bubbles is in between two of the northernmost trees.

round three...calamari?

Victory, angry at the bitch slapsSucker Punches (of whom the receiver is the sucker), begins charging electrical energy from the atmosphere. Mr. Bubbles, on the other hand, runs forward, poison coating his hand. The Poison Jab collides, and, but the toxic frog gets sent flying back from the Thunderbolt into a tree. A Pokemon cry is heard, however nothing emerges from the depths of the forest.

Victory begins gathering water from the depths of his bowels. Meanwhile, Mr. Bubbles, from his martial arts training, takes leaps forward (emphasizing his frog-like nature) before placing a Cross Chop on the starfish. Damaged, although undaunted, Victory releases the water in the torrential blast known as a Hydro Pump. Mr. Bubbles takes the blast head-on, hoping that his Dry Skin will absorb the water. However, that is not the case due to the toxin secreting from his skin that makes it dry did not drip out yet.

Since apparently you dicks like to repeat actions, I like to copy flavor: Victory, angry at the bitch slapsSucker Punches (of whom the receiver is the sucker), begins charging electrical energy from the atmosphere. Mr. Bubbles, on the other hand, runs forward, poison coating his hand. The Poison Jab collides, and this time, the toxins enter Victory's skin, Poisoning him, but the toxic frog gets sent flying back from the Thunderbolt into a tree. This time, however, it hits a vital organ, resulting in a Critical Hit! A Pokemon cry is heard, however nothing emerges from the depths of the forest.
