Right then, I'll start with Ruiag. He also has a levitation body mod, here's the proof of purchase plus approval and here's the details:


Body mod: Levitation
For pokemon that weigh up to 100 lbs (~45 kg), levitation will cost 2% energy per action to maintain. For pokemon between 101 lbs and 250 lbs (~113 kg) it will cost 3% per action to maintain, and for pokemon 251 lbs to 440 lbs (~200 kg), it will cost 4% energy to maintain levitation. Levitation enables pokemon to reach a height no greater than 2 m, and has the visual effect of being in a state with no gravitational pull towards the earth. Pokemon who undergo this training will be classified as Consensually Levitating Pokemon. This is a two-day course, and pokemon will need to be picked up before battle.
Fighting- or Bug-type pokemon will expend an extra 2% energy to levitate, as they have less affinity with psychic energy. Psychic-type pokemon will expend 1% less energy.

I believe my Tirtouga is named Glucinum, not Glucnium (although the latter sounds more like an element).

And by "A flat grassy hill" I meant "A flat grassy plain". You have an idea of how tired I was when I typed that. Anyways, I send out Chlorine the Machop.

So, Chlorine. This looks like it's going to be a long battle. Let's Bulk Up once, then Focus Blast twice unless Ruiag Protects (it's a green shield), in which case Bulk Up again.

Bulk Up~Bulk Up/Focus Blast~Bulk Up/Focus Blast

Snatch that bulk up for yourself, then make as many double team clones as you can. Finish with headbutt.

Also, thank you for reffing this Squorn. I think you might be slightly mad though!

Pre-round Notes
This battle is fully intended to be a long one. Both combatants have their full set of ten Pokémon, and the referee is prepared to stay with the battle to the very end. The very fact that it's a 10-v-10 is novelty enough for these trainers, though, so they fly in to a nice, simple field, with a river running down the middle for whichever Pokémon should wish to use it. The trainers teleport in chairs, snacks and drinks, sit down and get comfortable, and send out their Pokémon: a Machop and a Stunky. The referee sits back and relaxes before shouting "battle begin!"

Round 1 Begin!

Almost as soon as he's sent out, the Stunky begins glowing with that appears to be a black light, in complete defiance of everything we know about light. Then he simply sits there and waits patiently until Chlorine begins to make a move: he begins flexing and exercising his muscles, heedless of the darkness that's slowly enveloping him. Just as soon as his exercising is complete, the darkness implodes on him, then pulls back to Ruaig; when it fades away, the Stunky's muscles are visibly bigger, and he grins triumphantly.

Then he begins to run around in circles, prompting a strange look from Chlorine. Already fairly fast, he begins to speed up, within a matter of seconds becoming naught more than a motion blur. When he slows to a stop, there are five, identical Stunky following behind him. Or well, it's assumed that they're behind him, anyway; he could be any one of them. And Chlorine knows this only too well; he places his hands together in front of him, palms forward, and a tiny spark of red energy appears in front of them. It begins to grow, and within about five seconds it's the size of a basketball; he launches it at a random Stunky, praying it's the real one, and looks on in disappointment as it flies straight through the Stunky and explodes on the ground, the clone vanishing.

Each of the now-five Stunky suddenly launches into a run, charging towards Chlorine and then barelling into his side, Ruaig's hard skull slamming into Chlorine's stomach and winding him, making him collapse to the ground. It takes him a few seconds to get his breath back, and by the time he gets up the Stunky have scrambled: the real one could be any of them. Shaking his head, he charges up another ball of fighting-type energy and then launches it at the nearest Stunky, hoping that he might get lucky; his prayers are answered as the ball hits Ruaig in the head, explodes violently, and prompts an agonized squeal from the skunk. Each of the clones dematerializes, the illusion revealed for what it is, and Chlorine grins: looks like things are going his way.

Shouldn't that 100 be a 70? Although it doesn't make any difference in this case .

Anyway, tough luck Ruiag. Let's spray him with acid to show our displeasure. Finish with a flamethrower. Quickly make a substitute if you don't already have one and he uses smack down. Roar at him for a bit if he uses bide.
Sweep your acid spray or flamethrower around to take out any clones.

Round 2 Begin!

Ruaig hisses, his protective clones now destroyed. He's going to make that Machop pay! He spins round, facing directly away from Chlorine, and then from a gland in his rear he ejects a powerful spray of acidic poison. It drenches the unfortunate Chlorine, and almost immediately his skin begins to break out in an ichy rash. He grimaces, and then with some difficulty, places his hands in front of him, palms-forward; he charges up another ball of fighting-type energy, launching it at Ruaig and just managing to hit. It explodes, but when the smoke clears, Ruaig seems unmoved.

And almost immediately, he launches off another spray of acid, drenching the Machop once more and irritating the rash even more. Chlorine resists the urgs to scratch madly at it - with great difficulty, it must be said - and begins stamping on the ground. Ripples, as though the gruond were water, radiate out from the impacts, and Ruaig is finally moved: his legs are swept out from beneath him, tossing him over and aside and leaving him stinging and sore.

With some difficulty, he pushes himself to his feet. Facing away from the Machop, he begins concentrating methane inside his body, and then suddenly ejects a cloud of it at Chlorine; with a tiny spark, he ignites it, and instantly Chlorine is bathed in flames. He screams, and drops to his hands and knees, while around him the flames burn; within a couple of minutes they burn themselves out, and Chlorine lies there, panting. When he finally recovers, though, he staggers to his feet and begins waggling his finger back and forth; suddenly, his skin becomes bathed in a white glow, almost as though he were evolving. It quickly fades away to reveal a very, very shiny Machop beneath, and when he touches it he realizes that it's hard and cold - in fact, his skin has become a metallic substance.

Oh, sh*t. Reason #2 why not to use Metronome just because.

Light Screen, Focus Blast, and Body Slam. If you see Ruaig Snatching that Light Screen, move it back one action and do, the current action, what you are to do the next, and move Light Screen to the next one, repeating if necessary.

Round 3 Begin!

Ruaig begins the round by shouting at Chlorine. He gives a series of insults towards Chlorine, his family, and everything he's ever done. Behind his words he leaves a tracery of dark energy, and it takes hold: Chlorine's mind is instantly filled with thoughts of tearing the Stunky limb from limb, and he can't bring himself to do anything else. He throws his palms up in front of him, quickly forming another sphere of fighting energy and hurling it at Ruaig. It explodes on impact, but Ruaig notes it seems significantly less powerful than the others.

When the smoke clears, Ruaig is again facing away from him. He once again expels a stream of methane at Chlorine, igniting it to form a stream of fire that sears Chlorine's skin - even more this time than the last, actually, which he attributes to his new shiny skin. When she stream ceases, he immediately charges up and launches another ball of energy, exploding once again on Ruaig; from inside the smoke, though, shoots another stream of fire, once again engulfing Chlorine; the smoke clears up before the Flamethrower ends, and when Ruaig ceases he turns to Chlorine. He's surprised, though, to see that Chlorine is running towards him; he jumps into the air, landing on Ruaig with significant force. As he walks away, he feels his irrational rage fading, and he feels very glad about this.

Well, you're one battered little skunk, but we're nearly there. Flamethrower all the way, but chill if he protects, detects or is currently out of range with something like dig. Make a quick substitute (if you don't already have one) if he tries to inflict confusion on you through swagger or dynamic punch.
Make sure to float up if he uses a ground move and sweep your flamethrower about to take out any clones.

Round 4 Begin!

Facing away from Chlorine once more, Ruaig begins scraping at the ground madly, throwing up a spray of dirt that lands in a neat pile behind him. Then he turns to face it and spits out a glob of thick poison onto the pile. It soaks in pretty quickly, leaving a pile of purple mud. That same mud, suddenly, pulls itself up, collecting into a bizarre Stunky-replica. Chlorine, having been concentrating his energy this whole time, leaps up and launches himself at Ruaig and, fist glowing intensely, throws himself down with as much force as he can muster, preparing to smash into the Stunky head-on. The pile of sludgy mud gets in the way, though: it shoves Ruaig out of the way and leaves itself in the line of fire. He smashes into it, and it basically explodes, mud going everywhere; Chlorine grimaces, thick globs having landed all over him.

As Chlorine immedaitely huddles over to prepare for another Dynamicpunch, Ruaig begins scrabbling up another pile of dirt, once again vomiting goo over it and letting it come to life. He jumps into the air, preparing to repeat the move, but this time the results are slightly different: the Substitute shoves Ruaig aside again but, this time, manages to get out of the way; Chlorine smashes into the ground and, injuring his fist in the process, leaves a respectable crater.

Ruaig spins round to be facing away from Chlorine, then once again launches a jet of methane at him, ingiting it with a small spark. The stream of fire engulfs him and he screams, but quickly falls silent; when Ruaig ceases the attack, Chlorine is lying on the ground, unconscious.

Round 5 Begin!

bulbasaur sends out a Tirtouga to replace his fallen Pokémon, which appears in the river flowing through the centre of the field.

Almost immediately, Ruaig turns to face the new combatant, then closes his eyes and begins concentrating; suddenly, a wave of malicious energy erupts out of him, tearing over the field in all directions. It washes over most everything, but Glucinum is less lucky: it strikes her directly, her face and the front of his body absorbing the majority of the strike. She growls painedly, and then dives under the water briefly. She sucks in as much water as can fit into her body and shell, then begins to mix in salt from sources in her body. When the water is a sufficiently strong brine, she comes back to the surface and spits a jet of saltwater at Ruaig. The Substitute leaps in the way, though, taking the brunt of the attack; it dissolves into a pile of salty mud.

Ruaig growls and then runs towards the Tirtouga. As he goes, he begins building up the methane in his body, concentrating it and preparing it for ignition. He reaches the shore of the river, gets as close to Glucinum as he can, and then with a tiny spark, ignites the entire lot. An enormous eplosion rings out, a fireball consuming a huge area of the field.

When the smoke finally clears away to something resembling visible, there's an enormous area of the ground missing, a crater there instead. The river's quickly filling it up, turning it into a little pond; Glucinum, worried about the charred and near-dead Stunky, dives into said pool, finding the unconscious form of Ruaig floating an inch from the bottom. She grabs the Stunky in his mouth and brings him up to the surface, hurling him onto the land before swimming around the new pool victoriously. Byrus recalls his Pokémon with a grim and tight-lipped expression, considering what to replace him with.

Round 6 Begin!

To replace his fallen Stunky, Byrus sends out a bizarrely intimidating Teddiursa, which flexes its arms and growls menacingly.

The very first thing that this Teddiursa does, though, is to yawn widely in the direction of Glucinum, making very sure that the Tirtouga can see him. Glucinum catches the yawn and begins to feel tired himself, but pushes it from his mind and tries to focus on the battle. He dives down into the little pond, and bites at the side of it; a portion of the ground suddenly collapses, sliding in, and a large cloud of soil quickly becomes mud. That mud then begins, in complete defiance of all logic, to contract, pulling in to a central point; it groups together quickly to become a hard, Tirtouga-shaped mud statue. Its eyes suddenly glow bright white and it begins to move, swimming around and darting between Glucinum and Shardik.

Shardik himself reaches down to the ground and picks up a plant he finds there. He begins pouring energy into it, and it expands and swells, becoming a large seed. He hurls it into the water, and it embeds itself into the mud clone; it explodes violently, grass energy tearing the mud clone to shreds. Glucinum, enraged at the loss of his clone, surfaces and, drawing toxins from within his body, spits them as one, purple glob at Shardik. It hits, and quickly soaks through her skin; she feels violently sick as it begins flowing through her bloodstream. Suddenly, though, the weariness that she felt suddenly overtakes her; her eyes slide closed and she droops, her heavy shell quickly weighing her down. As she sinks, Shardik hurls another explosive seed at her; it lodges in her shell and detonates, smashing a chunk out of her shell and causing her to twist in pain even in her sleep.
