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.
"This is a very pretty place...If only we weren't tasked with a dire mission, I would love to explore Mt. Coronet again. And with these powers..."
"Ma'am, I see something in the lake. Near where most of the Magikarp are swimming about."
"Can you tune into it? See what it is?"
"...its important, that's for sure. How do we go about getting it?"
[Glacier, who is always hovering due to their ghostly properties, begins to float slowly over the water. She turns back to Bidziil and winks, phazing out of sight as she glides across the underground lake towards the magikarp. They cannot see her, and Glacier floats easily over the special item and the fish]
<<Oh, so that's what it is. Yeah, We definitely need it. But how to get it...?>>
<<...Magikarp aren't very bright. Communicating would be a drag... I think I have an idea...>>
<<I hope this doesn't hurt, "Karps Krun"! I have no idea what that means, but you seem special!>>
Glacier: Floats across the lake [Levitate ability], and locates the "Karps Krun" Magikarp. Dives in and Possesses "Karps Krun" [Ghost Type] body
[Magikarp Glacier]: "Swallows" the special item, holding it in its mouth. Avoids the other Magikarp and swims back to the shore, spitting the special item back out by Gallade's feet. Once Gallade secures the item, Jump out of "Karps Krun"'s body and stop possessing.
Gallade: Wait for Glacier to finish the task, and pick up the Special Item once it reaches the shore
Just a PSA to acidphoenix here. As stated before there does need to be a bit more emphasis on flavor, as this is a flavor-centric roleplay. So I'll reiterate that.
The second thing is that going over DQ as a ref is not a good thing. I've been guilty of this myself, and it has caused delays of months at a time, so we're really stressing sticking to DQ time.
To that effect, I'm giving phoenix 48 hours to post a reply here, and if he goes over DQ again then we will look for a subref. I don't think I have to state what that means for reffing AB's as a whole.
'Maybe this ghosthood thing could turn out well after all..' is something one might think, in Glacier's situation at this particular moment..
She floats above the water, radiating a ghastly aura with a sense of foreboding and evil about it.. one could easily tell she was dead just by looking at the display.. and floats across the surface of the lake, locating the smartest(probably) of the Magikarp, and wrestling it for its mind, taking that after a short battle from the weak-willed creature, and asserting her will into the limp body, taking total command of all its functions.. (-9 EN)
With the weakling of a fish as a vehicle, Glacier dives downward, for what takes only seconds in reality yet feels like minutes feeling some of the urges held by the Magikarp, to grab the shiny object.. a blade of a broken sword.. and come up. The Magikarp stop in the water, mindlessly floating in place, confused by their leader's actions..
Glacier, in her last act in the Magikarp's body, spits the blade out onto the shore.. Leaving the Magikarp's body, it spasms violently on the shore, then falls back into the lake and regains its mobility..
Arena: Lake Cavern Electric-type moves are treated as spread moves against all Pokemon in the lake if used on a Pokemon in the lake. Accuracy of all moves is decreased by 1 stage without a light source, except Dark- and Rock- type mons and cave-dwelling Pokemon. Seismic activity could be dangerous and is not recommended. Fire-type attacks have their BAP reduced by 2.

Rampardos circles the cavern to its south side, being as stealthy as a giant heavy rocky dinosaur can really be.. the Nosepass watches this, and though its face shows no real expression, you feel as if it is amused at this attempt..
Forte approaches the Nosepass from the direction the pair had started from in the first place, crouching down prepared to leap and tickle the power out of it..
Rampardos decides the blade might as well be a shiny rock and knocks it out of Nosepass's hands, grabbing it with its monstrous paws just before it clangs on the hard, metallic floor... (-2 HP, -4 EN)
The Nosepass just at this magnetically draws a new piece of metal from the wall, and sits in its sole spot, hoarding the junk to itself.. Arena: Metallic Cavern Steel-type attacks have +1 BAP. Spread moves have x0.1 recoil. All Pokemon have -1 accuracy without a light source. Seismic activity is not recommended.

"...Welcome back ma'am. What is it like to be a Magikarp?"
"The possession part is pretty damn exhilarating, I'm not going to lie. But It makes me feel kind of sinister... there were these voices in my head telling me to do terrible things to the magikarp..."
"Perhaps it's the... you know. Whatever has a hold of your soul?"
"It's quite possible. Let's avoid doing that again for now, save it for a really rainy day. That was a good call though. I've looked into the brain of a Magikarp... negotiating would have driven us to homicide."
"As expected. Poor, intellectually sparse, fish."
"Let's meet back up with Forte and Yoda in the main chamber, see if they are done yet. Mmkay?"
"As you wish, ma'am."
Glacier: Pick up the Sword and follow Bidziil back into the main chamber
Bidziil: [Fire Punch Torch should still be lit] Lead Glacier back into the main chamber
May I see it? I wonder what it's made of, to have been here untarnished so long.
Let's head back. You can satisfy your curiosity on the way.
Yoda: Leads the way back up the tunnel, heading towards the room where they split from Glacier. Forte: Follows Yoda, examining the hilt and watching for any signs of power.
Exhausted and annoyed from the experience of having to coexist her thoughts with those of a Pokemon as dumb as Magikarp, Galcier materializes onto the shore, holding the blade from the bottom of the lake in an opposite hand to his Red Rider's sword clumsily, revealing of the weaponless style she fought with in her life..
Bidziil, continuing to burn its fist of fiery light(-2 EN), leads the way for the pair back into the main chamber.. again each second feels like a minute as you pass the drawings left by those who came before...
You arrive back in the main, large cavern to meet up with your friends the rock collectors...
Rampardos circles the cavern again, returning to the entrance to the small cavern, with Forte coming behind him to follow him down the passages back. Maintaining his fiery paw(-2 EN), Yoda leads the way back down the twists and turns that led in the direction they came..
While Yoda generally effortlessly goes around the pieces of metal scattered across the floor, walls, and ceiling, Forte, in his distracted state of lookin over and over the hilt for any signs of legends he remembers, kicks half the pieces of metal in the room...
The hilt doesn't seem to be indicative of any of the legends you've heard.. but it might well be one of them anyway, as it bears the rusty marks that could only have been placed by a hundred years stored away, and you cannot truly see what may have been distinctive marks from one of your wonders...
Both groups arrive together in the main cavern of the chamber just past where you saw the Clefairy. Your fiery fists allow you to clearly see that the shape in the hole of the middle door is the same as that of the hilt and blade you have gathered...
However, as you turn toward the door as the source of this oddity, you see a bat Pokemon, which aims to outright attack you for whatever reason.. an agent of the Demon Lord, perhaps? You are caught just enough off-guard to not be prepared for its onslaught.. but notice it just in time to not give it any free attack against you.

(It appears that phoenix forgot to make a threat table...sigh. Gonna just start keeping track from this round.)
Having come to a ridiculous speed, Yoda decides to punch the Crobat. In the face.
Rampardos used Thunder Punch
To Crit: [1=yes]=11=No
To Paralyze: [10>= Yes]=63=No
Damage: [8+3+5.5]*1.5=24.75
[24.75 Damage C] [-6 Energy R] [2 Recoil]
In response, the unusual Crobat gives an unearthly glare of pure hatred, and lunges towards Bidziil. However, before he can reach them, Glacier and Bidziil put up protective barriers in front of themselves!
Glacier used Protect
He was protected!
[-7 Energy Glac]
Gallade used Protect
It was protected!
[-7 Energy Gall]
However, the Crobat does not seem to be falling for it, and instead turns it's hateful gaze towards Forte, and slashes at the child with a blade of air. It cuts into Forte, but thanks to his defensive techniques - Rock Armor perhaps - it does not penetrate too deeply. The shock of the blade though was enough to make Forte flinch.
Crobat used Air Slash at Forte
To Hit: [5>= Miss]=93=Hit
To Hit Self: [50>= Yes]=79=No
To Crit: [1=yes]=3=No
To Flinch: [30>= Yes]=24=Yes

Yoda has not had enough of his enemy yet, and decides to throw rocks at it. The Crobat desperately tries to dodge, but to no avail!

To Crit: [1=yes]=16=No
To Flinch: [30>= Yes]=79=No
Damage: [8+3+3+5.5]*1.5=29.25
[29.25 Damage C] [-5 Energy R] [2 Recoil]
Strangely, the Crobat makes no sound, but the party can feel hatred seething out of it. Forte attempts to bodyblock Gallade, but finds that he's slower than he thought. Thus Crobat starts flying fast towards Bidziil. Fast as lightning Bidziil counters with a psychic slash of power. Crobat, still a little dizzy, gets flung onto the ground by Gallade.
Gallade Psycho Cut
To Crit: [2>=Yes]=14=No
Damage: [7+3+5.5]*1.5=23.25
[23.25 Damage C] [-4 Energy G]
Crobat used Acrobatics
To Hit Self: [50>= yes]=40=Yes
It hit itself

Glacier decides that he's had enough of Crobat's attempted Acrobatic antics, and uses a ghostly pulse to make Crobat forget those moves! Meanwhile Forte finally reaches Gallade.
Glacier used Disable
Crobat's Acrobatics was disabled
[-7 Energy Glac]
Forte Bodyblocked Gallade
[-5 Energy F]
Burn:
[-2 HP C]
===============================
Yoda continues the assault with another electric punch. One flash later, the Crobat seems even more dazed.
Rampardos used Thunder Punch
To Crit: [1=yes]=8=No
To Paralyze: [10>= Yes]=53=No
[24.75 Damage C] [-6 Energy R] [2 Recoil]
Bidziil seems rather discontented by Crobat, and opts to wish for a better day. Crobat, rather confused, decides to just ram it's head into Bidziil.
Bidziil used Wish
It made a healing wish.
[-14 Energy Gal]
Crobat used Struggle
To Crit: [1=yes]=10=No
Damage: [5-3-1.5]=1

Glacier, needing a break after that, decides to rest for a moment. Meanwhile Forte tries again to protect Gallade. Uh...buddy.
Glacier Chill
[+12 Energy Gla]
Forte Bodyblocked
[-9 Energy F]
Burn:
[-2 HP C]
The Crobat seems weakened, but it still has far more resilience than normal. Clearly this isn't a normal Crobat.

The team members continue the assault, with Yoda leading the way. He swiftly tosses rocks at the Crobat. However...

...Crobat fled!
...the Crobat, not confident enough in his cause to give his life for it, speeds away before the rest of the team can intercept him. The team celebrates, but before they can get very far, they suddenly feel an ominous presence further in the tunnel. A cold sweat sweeps across the team, despite the fact that there is no wind blowing through the tunnel. They make their preparations, and then descend into the void. Or possibly run away, but we wouldn't have a story if that happened would we?
