Kammington vs Patar

Today’s battle is guaranteed to be an awesome one (Yeah, I said it). After all, how can it be anything else when the battle is going to take place on a giant awesomeface? The field is otherwise a standard open field, except that it has the image of an extremely happy face painted on it. Off to the east, on the right side of the giant face, Patar tosses his pokéball, revealing Mongrel, his male Zangoose. Meanwhile, on the left side of the face in the west, Kammington releases his Pokémon; an unusual Teddiursa named Slash Grizzly. The little bear grins as she meets her opponent’s eye. The Zangoose stares in surprise at the bear for a moment, briefly taken by surprise at the two metal arms that seem to have replaced Slash’s normal ones, and thinking this little bear might just be more trouble than he anticipated.


Kammington (OO)

[Slash Grizzly] Teddiursa (F)
Intimidate Ability
Signature Attribute: Hackenslash Claw Armor
Slash was originally a test subject at Hackencut Armor Co., a company that created armor. She was equipped with two powerful metal arms. These arms were equipped with humongous metal claws, giving its wearer access to a wide variety of moves.
However, this comes with a series of side-effects. For one, the arms are rather large and heavy. It also makes Slash look rather intimidating, screwing over all chances of luring opponents off guard.

Effects:

Slash gains access to X-Scissor and Poison Jab. She cannot use Fling, Focus Punch, Fire Punch, Belly Drum, Fake Tears, or Charm.
Slash's humongous claws slow her down, effectively giving her a speed modifier of -6. It cannot be changed in any way, and cannot be given to the opponent through psych up or any other such moves.
In addition, each move used involving her claws requires 1% more energy to perform after all calculations, as a result of how heavy these claws are.
Slash's claws give her an intimidating appearance, changing her ability to Intimidate.

Round 1
Although the claws intimidate him, Mongrel knows he will have to attack at some point, so he reacts first when the ref signals for the battle to begin. He charges at Slash Grizzly, his own claw held high in a kind of fist, glowing faintly with fighting spirit. The Teddiursa is greatly slowed by the heavy metal and is caught completely off-guard as the Zangoose delivers a series of quick, furious punches. She squeals in agony as the Zangoose finishes his brutal assault before retreating back to his side of the field. The Teddiursa is not pleased, and is more than happy to begin hurling insults at the fleeing Zangoose, who turns and growls menacingly as Slash says something about him being afraid of a cute little bear.

Zangoose thinks over his next order. Protect? He doesn’t want to go on the defensive now; he wants to show that little stuffed animal that he is not afraid of it! While he is busy being angry now about his orders, Slash runs up to him and decides to give him a little payback. Using her metal claws, she delivers her own series of powerful, albeit slower, punches.

Mongrel recoils a few steps back as Slash finishes her punches. Now rather infuriated, he grins a sinister grin as he retracts his claws. When he extends them again after a few seconds, they have taken on a slimy purple coating. Mongrel punches Slash again, making sure his poison-coated claws rake her body in the process, knocking her several feet backwards. Slash notices that the poison appears to have no effect as she regains her composure; the quick slash did not penetrate her skin too deeply, though the punch itself still hurt. With a dark grin of her own, the Teddiursa runs back at Mongrel at a speed that seems almost impossible with those heavy arms, which she uses to strike the Zangoose’s stomach hard. Now it’s his turn to stumble backwards from his opponent’s strike. He certainly wasn’t expecting the bear to be able to move that fast. Regardless, having struck her and vented some of his rage, the Zangoose already feels a little calmer.

Round 2

As the round begins, Mongrel decides that a direct offensive is not the right way to approach this battle after all. Instead, he begins running laps around the awesomeface at a rather high speed. As he runs, the Zangoose appears to split into three separate Pokémon. The three Zangoose slow down and come to a stop a short distance away from Slash, each one with a malevolent smirk on his face. The Teddiursa remains calm, however, assured that her trainer anticipated this kind of situation. Thankful that she doesn’t have to drag her heavy arms, the crescent-shaped mark on her forehead begins to glow and she opens here mouth, from it firing a barrage of star-shaped bits of energy. The stars speed towards Mongrel and his clones. They make a sharp turn to the right as they approach and proceed to bombard the real Zangoose, who screams in agony as the stars strike him relentlessly and his clones fade away into nothingness.

As soon as the star barrage is over, the crescent mark changes from a white to a green glow. Not even a second later, a large, semi-transparent green bubble has formed around Slash. Mongrel growls in frustration as he returns his focus. Not noticing the green dome, he closes his eyes and begins to gather a ball of pure fighting spirit in between his claws. Focusing hard, Mongrel allows the ball to grow to about the size of a basketball before snapping his eyes open and, hardly bothering to aim, tossing the ball of energy at Slash. The Zangoose’s effort was in vain, however, as even though the attack would have struck, once again the Teddiursa was ready for him. With a bit of effort, the ball of fighting energy rams hard into her protective bubble, rendering it harmless.

Now positively furious, Mongrel starts to gather poisonous toxins in his mouth from the special glands in his body. He doesn’t even notice the usually horrible taste of the poison thanks to his natural immunity. When he feels he has gathered enough to really make Slash sting, the Zangoose spits the toxic glob at his opponent with a loud and angry roar. In his anger, however, he aimed just a little bit too high, and the poisonous goop flies right over Slash’s head and lands in the eye of the awesomeface a few meters behind her with a sickening plop. The little metal-armed bear retaliates by running up right to the Zangoose, who simply stands there in disbelief that yet another attack has failed, and begins to punch, scratch, kick, and bite any part of him that she can reach. Yet again, Mongrel howls in anguish as he is repeatedly hammered by the vicious bear. He finally manages to scramble backwards away from his attacker, but not before she dealt significant damage.

Round 3

After that last beating, Mongrel decides it would be a good idea to end his opponent fast. He remembers how tired Slash looked after blocking his attack earlier, and figures that would probably be his best bet. The Zangoose enters the same state of focus as before, gathering the same pure-fighting energy in between his claws. He grows the ball to about he same size as the previous one before opening his eyes again and, this time seeing his opponent and aiming carefully, hurling the ball of energy at the little bear. Slash squeaks in surprise as the powerful blast knocks her backwards. She thought she had the battle won, perhaps a little too early. For her counter attack, she begins charging electrical energy in her own claws, enhanced by the metal, and charging back at her opponent. She draws back her fist and punches Mongrel hard in the gut. He gasps for breath as the electricity shocks his system and the punch throws him stumbling backwards, though he manages to stay on his feet.

Mongrel, quickly thinking over his orders, raises his claws defensively. Slash wastes to time in charging up electricity for another punch. Hoping to catch Mongrel off-guard, she forces her metal arm forward. The Zangoose, however, was well prepared this time. He caught the Teddiursa’s metal arm in between his claws, a bit less effectively than expected due to the arm’s heaviness and the electricity surging in it that shocked his system. He tried to ignore the electrical surge as he pushed Slash aside, raking her body powerfully with his claws in the process, and throwing the little bear onto her back.

While the bear was down, Mongrel began to prepare yet another ball of fighting energy. Feeling confident after the last blow, he carelessly hurls the ball of energy towards the ground, where Slash is halfway through the act of pushing herself to her feet. Her eyes grow wide as the ball approaches, and she raises a metal arm in anticipation. The pain never comes, however; Mongrel’s attack flies easily over the head of its target. Slash grins as she finishes standing up, electricity already charging in her arm again. She runs the few feet towards her opponent and thrusts her arm into his side, throwing Mongrel backwards again and this time knocking him to his knees.

Round 4

Thinking over his orders, Mongrel glares at Slash. Though the bear is in a defensive stance, there doesn’t appear to be any form of protection around her, so Mongrel decides to take the chance to turn the tide of the battle. He runs up to the little bear, claws raised, and delivers a series of brutal punches. Slash remains in her defensive position bravely, taking each hit without so much as flinching until Mongrel begins to retreat to a safe distance. He throws one final punch towards Slash, who suddenly reaches out and catches his claw in her metal ones, and whips Mongrel powerfully around in a full 360 before releasing him and he is hurled far through the air before crashing hard to the ground.

Mongrel growls as he stands. Slash appears to have been worn out from the force of her last move, however he is feeling pretty tired as well. He begins to panic, and so he rushes forwards to punch Slash some more. Slash squeals in response and raises her metal arms in defense again as the Zangoose beats her down. Just as before, however, she sees an opening as Mongrel begins to step back. This time, she manages to slam one of her metal arms into Mongrel’s side, knocking him to the ground. She proceeds to channel her pain into her claws, pounding the injured Zangoose relentlessly.

Mongrel manages to crawl away from his attacker as she tires, and again forces himself to stand – he’s really starting to feel fatigued now. By the look of his opponent, she isn’t feeling any better. Mongrel decides he’s still probably better off staying away from her claws, and instead begins to form another ball of fighting energy. It takes longer for him to enlarge it to his usual basketball shape now, though he does manage to do it. He doubts that the little bear will be able to avoid his attack this time but he has been deceived by her seemingly tired appearance once before, so he aims carefully before throwing the energy ball at his target. Indeed, it strikes her powerfully, and knocks her on her back. Mongrel grins quickly, but it fades almost immediately as Slash begins to stand. As she does so, she shouts several degrading comments in his direction. Mongrel growls as he hears her say something that sounds like “That attack is so weak, you can’t even beat me when I’m this tired”.

Both Pokémon glare at each other, panting furiously but determined not to go down without one more confrontation.

Round 5

Both Pokémon watch each other carefully, each of them gasping for breath, as the final showdown between mongoose and teddy bear begins.

With Slash Grizzly slowed down by her metal arms, Mongrel takes action first. He lunges at Slash with raised claws. Too tired to even think about defending, the little bear is pummeled by the Zangoose’s reckless punching, clawing, and scratching, adding to her already severe collection of bruises and scars. Mongrel falls to his knees in exhaustion, delivering one final slice to the Teddiursa’s stomach in the process.

Slash grins maliciously as she somehow manages to stand after the barrage of blows. The attack, though brutal, was not enough to take her down, and it left Mongrel wide open to a counter-attack. Eager to take down her opponent before she collapses herself, Slash uses her remaining energy to swing both of her heavy metallic arms into the side of Zangoose’s head. Mongrel harshly crumples to the ground, followed by a loud ‘clang’ as Slash’s arms hit the floor next to her fallen opponent. She barely has time to register her victory; Mongrel’s final assault, combined with her retaliation attack, left her just about dead on her feet.
