Re: Pokémon Registration Office
Sorry, I'm going to have to overturn Mike's approval for the signature move. First of all, signature moves are not allowed in contests, so you should take the contest info out.
Second, the drawback doesn't balance with the effects, especially considering that Pichu is a baby Pokemon. I'd suggest 4% recoil damage in addition to having Soundproof removed because, as Mike said, I'd expect significant ear pain if the move is able to deafen the opponent. Also, as Soundproof doesn't affect a whole lot of moves, having it deactivated is a minor inconvenience at worst, I'd think.
Finally, I'm not quite sure I know what you mean by "This also prevents the electricity stored from being used for other attacks, such as thundershock." Do you mean that because the headphones absorb electricity, Anarchy's electric attacks are weaker? If so, it should be mentioned in the body mod, not the move mod. If it doesn't mean anything of the sort, I'd suggest removing the line or at least clarifying it, as it seems to be a bit of unnecessary information at this point.
Two Pichus and a Cubone - $30 altogether.
[Anarchy] Pichu (Female)
Ability: Soundproof
Signature Attribute: DJ-Chu
Anarchy has been surrounded by sound all her life, being born, raised and eventually caught in an area known for it's festivals and raves. She discovered a pair of headphones with a built in mp3, lost by their owner during one of the festivals (I say lost, she found it in one of the tents and presumed it lost) and took it for her own. It didn’t take long for her to find out how it worked, after playing with her new toy and watching other humans wear a set of headphones.
Since obtaining them, she refuses to take them off. Seeing this, they’ve been modified to suit her. This creates a block between outside sounds and Anarchy’s ears, which softens noise and means that sound based attacks, which depend on clarity and volume, can’t break through to her ears. At least, not with enough power to cause damage. In battle her trainer gets around this by wearing a headset herself when using her, speaking directly into the headphones to tell her what to do. Her static ability is lost as the headphones absorb the excess electricity, which is used in her attack.
Effects: Replaces Static with Soundproof
Move Mod:
Name: Tempo Push
Type: Normal / Base Power (if any): 80 / Accuracy: 100%
Target: All
Class: Special
Stat: Special
Description:
Learning to use electricity as a Pichu usually results in multiple shocks and accidents as they learn to control their abilities. Not so much for Anarchy. The headphones absorbed the excess electricity, almost acting as a second store besides her cheeks (and robbing her of her Static ability. This also prevents the electricity stored from being used for other attacks, such as thundershock). Using this extra power, she amplifies the music from her headphones to release it in a blast.
The attack is strong as it uses stored power, rather than what Anarchy can generate on the spot. There’s a 20% chance of also deafening her foe too. As the headphones rely on built up static collected by her headphones over they have a long build up time (four actions). During this time, they malfunction and no longer provide Soundproof protection, leaving her open to sound based attack until they recharge.
Effects: Doesn't affect Pokemon with the Soundproof ability. Removes Anarchy's Soundproof ability for four actions as the headphones recharge. 20% chance of deafening foe for two to three actions. When a foe is deafened, they are effectively given the Soundproof ability and cannot understand verbal commands. If there is no other means of commanding the pokemon, they must act of their own accord until their hearing returns.

Changes made. I put in the contest info since it was on the temple for these...ignore it if you so wish, I was just being careful.
