Gwenfair looks upwards, toward the cave’s entrance. Judging by her opponent’s position, she should probably burrow that way…She does so, and after a minute of light digging she emerges quietly behind her green opponent. Gastro, she notices, is busy spitting up…something. Honestly, even squinting she can’t tell what the heck that stuff is. She shudders, not even wanting to know any more. As soon as the Gulpin’s little pile is complete, the blob transfers a portion of his vitality into it, turning the glob into a green-and-white dinosaur doll that hops eagerly in front of its master.

As Gwen looks at the scene, her entire body discounting her head still submerged in the tunnel, she scowls. That wasn’t supposed to happen. She’d best get rid of that thing immediately. But first, she’d better stop him from creating a new one. Her eyes flash with a gray light, and as Gastro turns to look in her direction his do as well. A lock suddenly appears on his brain on top of the skill he just used, and for his life he can’t remember it. But that seems like a painless tactic. If he can get her to keep doing that then it will probably make his life easier later on. He looks at Gwen with an adoring light in his eyes. “That was wonderful! Do it again!” Along with this he sends out a special wave to ensure that the tactic works.

…and does it ever. Gwen ends up believing the Gulpin completely. When she ponders the idea of using that attack over and over she really can’t see much of a downside. So she resolves to do so. Once again, her eyes flash a grey twinkle, and seconds later Gastro’s do as well. Another lock forms in his mind, this time around his memories of Encore. Suddenly he can’t even remember what kind of move Encore is anymore. But it doesn’t matter, because he isn’t planning to use that attack anyway. He forms a mass of electricity in his throat, letting it all out in an unfocused wave by just opening his mouth. Just before Gwen feels the shock, though, her Substitute leaps into action and blocks the attack, crumbling into pieces after it has done so. The Nidorina sighs in relief. That looked like it might have hurt.

um, shouldn't the two holes count for something under the arena notes? :o also, the amount of actions subsitute and encore are disabled for should be the other way around, since substitute was disabled before encore.

You subtracted 20% health from Gastro instead of 10%.

Uh, wasn't expecting that, but we can work with this... I think. First, get as close to Gwen as you can, then try yawn. (worth a shot) Follow up with an acid spray. If she's fully emerged from her hole on the third action, lets get a little more adventurous: try an ice beam. Otherwise, go for another shock wave. As always, use counter if she tries super fang or attacks with dig.

Yawn ~ Acid spray ~ Ice beam/Shock wave/Counter

Hm! So apparently disable has another usage; use Disable to, well, dis-able Gastro as he tries to use yawn/Acid Spray. According to this, it should leave him frozen for a few seconds and unable to move anything, so you shouldn't fall asleep or get... acid sprayed. Then I want you to use Double Team, and make about 3-4 clones if you can.

Disable ~ Disable ~ Double Team

Delighted by her opponent’s eagerness to get impaired, Gwenfair continues to Disable away. Again, her eyes glow a light grey. This time, however, her goal is not to lock up another of her opponent’s moves; this time she aims to impair Gastro’s movement entirely. Just as the Gulpin opens his huge mouth, his body starts to glow with a gray aura. Though he can’t move, the Gulpin yawns. A white cloud makes its way out of the green blob’s throat and disappears into Gwen’s body as she lets her opponent go. No sooner has it done so then the Nidorina yawns tiredly.

But she can’t let tiredness stop her! She immediately makes her eyes glow gray one more time; She’s getting tired of this move and if her opponent wants her to repeat it any more he’s gonna have to ask again. Once again, just as Gastro has opened his mouth he is captured by the familiar grey aura. But it’s still futile; the Gulpin begins to vomit up some of its [extremely toxic] stomach acid, which flies through the air in a blob and explodes all over his opponent. Gwen almost immediately lets go of her opponent. It doesn’t matter that she’s resistant to poison; that stuff BURNS! And it makes her lose her concentration completely as well. She yawns again. No, she can’t sleep at a time like this, she has to—then she falls to the ground, snoring with her eyes closed.

Gastro is immediately thankful that his opponent is out cold. That will definitely make his job easier, not having a move being locked away every two seconds or being forced to keep an uncomfortable position. He readies a mass of static electricity in his throat, releasing it in a wide wave as soon as it’s ready. Gwen’s weakened skin makes the attack strike almost twice as hard as it should—but like any newly-sleeping Pokémon, she doesn’t wake up. Gastro chuckles, then begins to breathe deeply in his new fatigue. He may have almost won, but he’s so dang tired…

•…And sorry, but neither Yawn nor Acid Spray requires physical movement.
•Gwen fell asleep on action 3, and therefore did not get to use Double Team. She’ll wake up in two actions, though.

herp well this is what I get for not reading things properly

welp just use Snore unless you wake up, in which case use Crunch to try and break that Sub. :I

Snore/Crunch ~ Snore/Crunch ~ Snore/Crunch

also you still haven't rectified Gastro magically losing 10% health from somewhere.

...You're right, I haven't. I wonder where that did come from...

I know you're tired, but we can't miss this chance. Go for dream eater while Gwen is asleep, and revert to shock wave if she wakes up and is still in the game.

Dream eater (Health)/Shock wave x3

(Does Gwen still have the special defense loss btw, or did that wear off?)

...As far as I checked, Gwen never had a Special Defense loss...

From the acid spray.

Gwenfair continues to sleep soundly, and Gastro chuckles to himself about how easy it will be to take her out. That is, until she starts snoring. The sound is horrible, and produces a wide, visible white wave of sound. Terrified, Gastro hides behind his Substitute, which takes the brunt of the attack. In the meantime, the Gulpin uses what little mental power he has and looks into his opponent’s sleeping mind for some tasty morsels to munch on. He can rest later; Now, food is more important. Suddenly, he finds Gwenfair’s one and only dream—and plops it into his mouth, ingesting the tasty morsel. Gwenfair’s snoring immediately stops, and the referee waves a flag to declare the Nidorina out.

I'd like to send out Oubliette.

<Frisk>

Acid spray, chill, then Giga drain for energy. Chill if Oubliette protects, gains your ability with skill swap or role play or tries to spite you.

Acid spray ~ Chill ~ Giga drain (Energy)/Chill

I could do something tricky but I'd rather do this.

Taunt ~ Psychic ~ Protect

Recalling her Nidorina, ultraviolet thinks for a second before tossing out her next Poké Ball. The Dusk Ball bursts open to reveal a dark purplish finger puppet which looks around curiously at its surroundings, then at its opponent. Seeing that this was a quick send-out, the referee soon waves his flags to signal the next round to begin.


Oubliette sizes up her newest opponent. He looks, quite frankly, like a whimp. And what else does one do to whimps but tease them? The Shuppet smiles, sticking her tongue out at Gastro. The Gulpin looks accusingly at her, and as soon as he does a plethora of insults and taunts come spewing out of Oubliette’s open mouth, along with an invisible wave of Dark-type energy. The attack works, riling up the Gulpin so much that he can’t restrain himself from his attack at all. A glob of horribly corrosive acid flies out of his mouth, flying through the air and hitting Oubliette squarely. The toxins sink into her body, and she shudders as a few of her nervous cells are shut down.

But that’s not going to stop her from destroying her opponent. Oubliette closes her eyes thoughtfully, using her ghost-type power to connect with the spirititual world. In this dimension she searches for her opponent’s soul, finding it almost immediately. Once she’s locked on to the fat little soul, she injects pure, mental power into it. The power is too much for the soul to contain, and back in the real world Gastro recoils harshly from the pain. He’s getting madder and madder by the second, and he wises he could do something to that accursed puppet.

…Screw it, he’ll do something anyway. The Gulpin ignores his tiredness as he glows with a greenish aura. Closing his eyes and concentrating intensely, he tries to draw pure energy out of his opponent’s body for himself. Sure it may be a dirty tactic, but at this point he’ll take what he can get! Unfortunately, though, he’s stopped by a green energy shield, conjured up by his all-knowing (or so it seems) opponent to stop his attack. He barks angrily in frustration at his opponent, almost forgetting how tired he really is.

Use Calm Mind, Taunt and Double Team.
If Gastro Chills or uses Swallow, use Snatch.

Calm Mind/Snatch ~ Taunt/Snatch ~ Double Team/Snatch

Forgot about taunt! We can still be annoying though. Since chills count toward the snatcher's limit, we'll take advantage of that. So um, do nothing on the first action, then let her snatch your chills.

Do nothing ~ Chill ~ Chill

Feeling extremely tired, Gastro is more than happy to comply with his trainer's demands. He just sits still and does nothing, acting like a completely normal pile of sludge, not one that can actually move and spew poison. Oubliette, rather than try to knock Gastro out, instead closes her eyes and blocks the entire battle out of her mind fer a few minutes, concentrating solely on heightening her mental power. As she opens her eyes, she is able to see everything in the batllefield with a new light, and she appears more focused and concentrated.

Gastro is delighted with his next commands; he actually gets to rest! too tired to notice that Oubliette is glowing with dark energy and watching his every move, Gastro closes his eyes and attempts to get some well-needed rest. However, just as he settles down, he is soon awoken. Not knowing quite what is going on, Gastro eyes the Shuppet. Said Shuppet is resting on the ground, taking a bit of a nap. Gastro feels about to cry. Why would the mean Shuppet steal his sleep?

Tired as ever, Gastro, responding to his commands, once again attempts to get some shut-eye. Yet, just as he begins to drift off, he is once again jarred awake as Oubliette snatches his nap and chills instead. The sight of the sleeping Shuppet is so tempting... Why couldn't he just fall asleep just like that? Gastro also begins to feel mad at his trainer. He must have known that the Shuppet would snatch his chills, why would he let her do that? As Oubliette wakes up, the ref reminds her side that Oubliette can no longer use chills for the remainder of the battle. Gastro finally sees his trainer's plan, but is still upset at his lack of rest.

Ref's Notes:
- I'm back. I'm also out of school for the summer. I promised myself I would stay up-to-date and on time with my battles, so expect this to be reffed pretty often.
- As Byrus strategized, Oubliette snatched both of Gastro's chills and used them as her own, even though they weren't needed.
- The lack of commands made this fairly easy to ref. Nether pokemon lost energy (due to the chills snatched, Oubliette's snatches were made up for) or any health.

Next Round:
Byrus issues commands
ultraviolet issues commands
I ref.

Oubliette used calm mind, right? Didn't see the increased stats in the status update there. Anyway, good to see you back.

Not much we can do at this point, so let's give this a go. Chill and curl yourself up tight to try and block out her taunts. Then just... try and chill normally on the last action I guess. You'll be wide open to attacks either way, so brace yourself.

Defense curl + Chill ~ Chill

*slaps self mentally* You're right, Byrus. I forgot to add that. Fix'd now.
