“Arena: Negrek’s Bloodstream” said:
So. There's the Battle for Asber currently going on, meteors destroying things all over the place, the tournament stepping up, and all sorts of interesting things happening in Asber right now. Things must be getting really tough on Negrek!
Let's irritate Negrek even more, by having a metronome battle in neg's body. Everyone will be shrunken down my minimize magic, and teleported into neg's veins (or something) using a similar method. Energy will be kept permanently at 100%, so there's only one way for this battle to end; with the complete explosion of our head referee. Seems like a great idea, right???
Mewtwo will certainly be pleased, not like they're going to stay conscious enough to celebrate long. Once Negrek is sufficently dead, the battle will move onto neg's corpse and the blood-jars made of rebels.
Superbird appeared in a flash of light. Dang, Doctor Kaminko’s minimizer sure was effective; he was plenty tiny in here. The trainer and referee hopped off of his Xatu, recalling it quickly as he was swept away by a fast-moving red blood cell. Figuring he might want to stay near his entry point to greet the other battlers, however, he sent the bird back out and began to fly back.
Soon enough, there was a bright flash of light, and four tiny trainers popped into existence on top of a conveniently-placed red blood cell. Superbird flew down to join them, and the five began to decide amongst themselves how exactly this battle would be conducted. Soon enough the decision had been made, and all the Bug-type pokemon of the trainers had bound together a few red blood cells so that they wouldn’t get separated. But what if it clotted?
“Who cares!” said Kusari. “I’m here to harvest Negrek’s blood anyway.” It promptly tossed a net ball out and it bounced off of the surface of the blood cell, bursting into a flash of light to reveal a luvdisc. The fish was floating in place somehow, probably because of the liquid surrounding them all. Mai was quick to follow as it threw a poke ball of its own out onto the blood cell, revealing a combee that began to flutter around. While Windragon pulled out her cell phone and called Blazhy to send her her Sharpedo, Mawile lobbed an Ultra Ball out. It burst open to reveal…a magikarp. As everyone almost died in laughter, another Net ball suddenly appeared and plopped down to explode into the shape of a much more formidable Sharpedo.
“Places, everyone!” Superbird called, taking a position on the side of the blood cell and retrieving his red reffing flags. “All right…Battle begin!”
Round One, Begin!

Luv Muffin wastes no time in opening the round by wiggling his nose back and forth. If hehad a finger he’d use that instead but he doesn’t. Then, begins to swim in circles, faster and faster, until for some reason brownish sand is whirling around the arena. Superbird takes out a notepad quickly, and begins to write down the number of attacks that cause damage or irritation to Negrek negself. Sandstorm is the first. They’re off to a good start!
Sparky the Magikarp isn’t far behind his fellow fish. He begins to wave his barbels back and forth instead of the fingers he doesn’t have. An unseen force immediately makes him swim toward ed’Rashtekaresket. The Magikarp opens his mouth, and a white light begins to form inside it. The red fish jerks forward as the light flies out of his mouth and into Ed’s eyes, exploding into a blinding flash. Everyone manages to instinctively close their eyes, sure, but the Flash is strong enough to pierce those of the one closest to it; when Ed opens his eyes again he’s seeing spots.
Now, Ed isn’t about to let that hit go without some sort of revenge. Not in a million years! The sharpedo waves his dorsal fin back and forth, and within three seconds he finds himself spinning forward in Sparky’s direction. While the Magikarp is unable to dodge the attack, the Rapid Spin isn’t exactly the strongest thing ever, and he takes only minor damage.
Finally, off to the side where no one notices her, Cersei is at a loss as to what she should wave. She eventually just gives up, shaking her wings and flying higher for a short period of time while she tries to emulate a Metronome of her own. As it turns out, the attack works and she flies upwards, cloaked in white light. As soon as she reaches the top of the blood vessel, the Combee turns and begins to dive, smacking straight into ed’Rashtekaresket’s body. The Sharpedo grunts as it’s thrown backwards. What’s making everyone attack him?
His attention, however, is caught when Luv muffin begins to use Metronome again. Another round of these things, eh? This time, the heart-fish begins to swim forward, in Sparky’s direction. Then, suddenly, he flops upwards, and slams down with all of hisweight on top of the Magikarp. Ed just watches, and bursts out in laughter when his opponent bounces almost harmlessly off of his target – after all, Luvdisc aren’t exactly known for their weight.
Sparky doesn’t really care, though. The red fish starts to wave his barbels back and forth again. He opens his mouth once more, though this time he edges away from Ed and not towards the Sharpedo. Then, for an instant, flames are visible. That instant only lasts for a fraction of a second, though, as a burst of dense flame shoots out of Sparky’s mouth, and hits Ed squarely in the face. On impact, the flame explodes with a rather large radius, singing Cersei and grazing Luv Muffin.
Well, Ed thinks, if Magikarp can use fire than so can he. As he uses another Metronome, the shark pokemon prays for a powerful Fire-typed attack. Sure enough, when he opens his eyes, he finds himself cloaked in flame. Perfect! He aims himself for Sparky, to whom he’s sure he’s going to develop a strong rivalry, and flies forward, knocking into the Magikarp with such force that he feels the damage in his own body.
Finally, Cersei gets a chance to finally use her own Metronome again. Jeez, it was her own trainer’s idea but she’s being left out of it all! Well, at least they’re not going for her with all of those Fire attacks. She wonders what will happen this time as she waves her wings back and forth even more, and soon a rock plops down on her head. Knowing instinctively somehow what to do, the Combee flings the rock upwards into a large arc. It hits Luv Muffin, and deals enough damage to ruin hischance of flight if he ever wanted to try somehow.
Then, it’s Luv Muffin’s turn. While he could retaliate, he figures, it’s probably a better idea to wear down the other pokemon instead. Less opponents means a better time. And since everyone seems to be ganging up on Ed, he might as well do so too. As he realizes the fruits of his latest Metronome, she smiles, finally having gotten an attack similar to what he’s used to using. Luv Muffin opens his mouth, takes aim at ed’Rashtekaresket, and fires a chilling, rainbow beam.
Despite how he’s been focusing his efforts on Ed, Sparky does think that’s a little rude of him. He decides quickly that Ed is his target and his target alone, and that he isn’t gonna let her take him. The Magikarp uses Metronome again – and this time the results are quite nice. As soon as Sparky realizes he has the power to conjure icicles, he smiles evilly and conjures a huge one right about Luv Muffin’s head, as well as several others in the environment. On his command, they all drop straight down; while Luv Muffin is crushed by his icicle, the rest of them fall and cause what is hopefully no shortage of pain to Negrek. Superbird wonders if neg feels this or not, and how much it hurts if she does feel it.
Ed watches Sparky attack Luv Muffin, and smiles to himself. Finally, he has the red fish on his side. If Sparky wants to team up then it’s fine with him; he’s always been a Dark-type anyway and he would’ve taken revenge no matter what. The Sharpedo waves his dorsal fin in the air, calling on the RNGgods to give him a favorable attack to use against his foe. Within moments, he finds himself summoning a large vine out of the ground, which grabs Luv Muffin briefly until he manages to fight it off. Well, at least he got something super-effective. That’s nice.
After that display, it is once again Cersei’s turn to fight. She hit Luv Muffin last action; she feels that her opponent has had enough beatings on this one. On the other hand, she really doesn’t like that Sharpedo much. The Combee uses Metronome again, and soon she is smiling widely. She winds up her body into as much of a cylinder as she can, and rockets across Negrek’s red blood cell. Ed doesn’t even know what hits him until he turns around to see Cersei sticking her tongue out at him. He decides to go hard on her next round.
Round One, End!
