Re: RespectTheBlade vs. Maniac Panic
The Land of Heat and Clockwork
The land of Heat and Clockwork is a mass expanse of lava, dotted with a few towers made of solid metal. There is also an island of metal in the distance that looks somewhat like an industrial complex. For some reason, the two battlers and their pokemon have been transported to a giant floating turntable over the lava. The turntable has a diameter of about 120 feet, and has a center red circle with a diameter of about 40 feet.
Each round, there is an 70% chance of a spray of lava erupting and hitting a random battler for 10% fire-type damage, and a 30% chance that a column of lava will erupt from the center of the turn table and explode, damaging both players with a Lava Plume.
BATTLE START!
Two trainers and a referee have met amidst this lava-infested world, dotted with steel structures. The trainers have selected their pokemon; one RespectTheBlade has sent out a kirlia that is currently intently observing its surroundings, while Maniac Panic has chosen a shinx that has just narrowly missed being by sprayed by some stray lava. The referee blows his whistle, signaling the beginning of a battle between these two aspiring members of the League.

Sir Galahad glances at his opponent, meaning to observe him more closely, but is caught off his guard when he sees Shax grinning at him. As if the clear bloodlust in his eyes weren't enough, Galahad can practically
feel Shax' malicious intent. Looks like being a Psychic-type has its disadvantages. Well, time to counter some of that shinx' confidence. The kirlia launches a concentrated electric wave at Shax, whose grin quickly fades as his muscles tense up. The cub growls. Time to get serious. His eyes narrow, and he smiles coyly, looking Galahad straight in the eye. The kirlia doesn't quite know how to react; didn't he just launch a miniature lightning bolt at that shinx? Either way he's sure he wants to launch him straight into the endless sea of lava. That ought to wipe that smirk of his face once and for all.
Galahad knows he can't quite do what he wants to, but some second-degree burns ought to be good for now. He forms a blue-hot orb of flame in his hands and launches it at Shax. The shinx yelps in pain as the kirlia's attack scalds his fur. First he strikes him with
lightning, and now he burns him. Well, Shax is going to show him just what happens when you mess with a shinx. He leaps forward, opening his jaw and biting down on Galahad's
stupid skirt-thing. The kirlia whimpers; he had let his foe get the better of him again.
Well, maaaybe it was time to use some attacks that would bring immediate results. Galahad seeks out his opponent's mind and seizes it, gaining control over the shinx' actions. Then, he lifts Shax up and slams him down into the turntable. The shinx growls again; now his fur is all mottled too! Angrily, he jumps at his foe, baring his fangs- er, teeth- and chomping down on Galahad. As he returns to his original position, however, Shax recoils in pain- the burn that kirlia had inflicted is painfully fresh. Then a flash of light catches his eyes- he turns to look and sees a column of lava rising from the surrounding sea., headed straight for Galahad. The molten rock washes over him, bringing the bite marks left by the shinx to his attention again.
