Alright! Let's go with Bladedge!

Damn, thats what I was afraid of. Well, can't be helped, I'll start with Snakrok.

Okay Snakrok, Start with Curse, that will get you all nice and ready, plus it's not like your gonna outspeed a Sneasel. once you've done that, go for an Iron Tail, that ought to cause some mayhem. Then when you've finished that, be evil and use Stealth Rock.

Curse ~ Iron Tail ~ Stealth Rock

Alright, Onix should be easy to take care of.

Okay Bladedge, let's start off with Metal Claw to be annoying. Then let's go with Agility and try to dodge. After that use Ice Shard.

Metal Claw - Agility/dodge - Ice Shard

Arena status: Unchanged.


Three bundles of data are carried along a deep blue background until they reach a single floppy disk, floating on the nothingness yet surprisingly stable. The data materializes into three people. Atmey Detective and Silver don't take to the artificial air too well initially, whereas Metallica Fanboy seems almost used to it, as though he'd been to a cyberspacial arena before.

After waiting a bit for the trainers to feel less aggravated by the area, the referee read the match's rules aloud, then signaled for sendouts to be made and commands to be given.

On Silver's side of the disk, what came out was a dark-furred weasel who seemed eager to sink his sharp claws into something. Atmey Detective's response was to laugh like a maniac send out a lenghty serpent with a sturdy hide of stone.

With all prepared, Metallica Fanboy marked the beggining of the duel with a yell.

Just as soon as the battle began, Bladedge showed off his exceptional nimbleness by leaping upwards, letting a metallic liquid drip from his pulse as he prepared for the landing. As he started to fall, he raised one arm. By the time he reached his arm, he viciously swung his claw into his target, hoping to strike the head. However, said target was used to defense, and quickly covered said head with another segment of her body. Regardless, the damage was made clear by the sickening noise produced by the impact between the metalified claw and the rocky armour.

Snakrok didn't seem to be planning on counterattacking so soon. Instead, she closed her eyes and quietly chanted an arcane spell that granted additional bulk but took agility away. Speaking of agility, when the mineral snake opened her eyes again, she spotted her enemy making further displays of his agility, zooming around the arena while ocasionally doing cartwheels and front flips. The time to strike was then. Similar to the attack she had received earlier, the Onix's tail started to ooze out liquid metal. While it hardened, she carefully eyed her prey. Then, with one calculated yet powerful swing, she hammered the Sneasel with her tail, sending him flying into one of the hovering disks surrounding the battle's stage.

The Dark- and Ice-type was quick to stand up and managed to leap off the disk before it was too late. Still in the air, she quickly spat a jagged, exceptionally large pebble of frost into her opponent, using up the brief stun of the attack to gain distance.

But, again, Atmey Detective's Pokémon wasn't going to make an offensive move. Rather, she noticed that the disk her foe had landed in did not come out intact from the incident. It gave her an idea. She banged her head on the disk, breaking a large section of it into multiple tiny, sharp shards. Then, using Rock-type powers, she gathered the minute bits into a whirlwind that surrounded her surroundings, ready to deal thousands of micro cuts to whomever dared to try going through.


Arena status: One of the disks has had a large section broken off. Pointed disk shards float and whirl around Snakrok's vicinty.

Additional notes:
- While the attempt to dodge Iron Tail did reduce the chances it would land, the RNG still chose to have it land successfully.
- I'm so gonna end up getting both battlers' genders wrong.
- Silver attacks first next round.

Alright! You did good, now it's time to prevent any other attacks like Curse.

First, start off with Taunt, that'll make her just have to attack. Then I want you to go with Screech, that should be good. And then go with Metal Claw again, for good measure.

Taunt - Screech - Metal Claw

Only three moves are usable per round.

Crap, sorry. Fixed.

Good, we're not gonna set up anymore anyway, so! Zvarri! Smash that thing with a Rock Slide, then go for a Slam, try to knock it away on one of those CD's, if you can't, thats okay. Then Protect against any attack that may come your way.

Rock Slide ~ Slam ~ Protect

Laughing like a maniac. I see what you did thar.

Due to recent troubles, I'd like to extend the DQ time to 2 weeks. Is that possible?

If Silver agrees to it, yes.

If you're having trouble staying active, though, posting in the Absence Sheet is also an option.

holy shit metallica fanboy actually reffed something

Arena status: One of the disks has had a large section broken off. Pointed disk shards float and whirl around Bladedge.


After a round of commands, with a ZVARRI! somewhere in between, the second round began.

Bladedge opened with a sharp move. A sharp-tongued move, that is. Because damn, you so slow, you might as well rename yourself to Lagging Tail. Yo momma so slow she challenged three Shuckle to a race and ended up disqualified.

In response to the insulting remarks, Snakrok moved eagerly to show whose momma should be on the receiving end of the sick burns. She smashed the already-damaged disk by her side with her tail and used her Rock-type powers to manipulate the largest chunks, bearing them down upon her target.

She was readying her next heavy hit, when she was confronted by a sharp sound that was a disrespect to any ears. Ugh. Sickle claws and disk surfaces should not produce this much attriction. Less focused but still doing her best, the Onix mercilessly punished her foe with a powerful whack of the tail.

The Sneasel recomposed himself during the fall and took a chance to land with style, manouvering for a quick second wind. Gaining momentum, he summoned Steel-type powers to ooze a liquid metal around his nails. Upon solidification, the metal granted a temporary boost to the average scratch, allowing the weasel Pokemon's deadly swipe to leave a clear dent on the enemy's rocky hide.

Atmey Detective's Pokemon simply refused to let that one go by. Protect, what a silly idea. Instead, she flipped the fuck out, rolling about in the play field and not giving a damn about any microcuts whatsoever. At least, it didn't miss the intended target, who was steamrolled veritably.


Arena status: One of the disks has been torn apart completely. Pointed disk shards float and whirl around Bladedge.

Additional notes:
- Stealth Rock is supposed to surrond the enemies, not the user. My mistake, fixed that this round.
- On the third round, Snakrok was commanded to use Protect, but Taunt was in effect. So, she Struggled instead.
- Isn't it the weasels who are usually flipping the fuck out instead?
- Atmey Detective attacks first next round.

Right, I suck at keeping with DQ times, big time.

This is a late DQ warning; Atmey Detective has 48 hours to post commands.

And thus, disqualification arrives.

Silver Panic gets $8; I get $5; Snakrok and Bladedge each gain one point of experience.
