Denryu vs. The Omskivar

[Blastoise Fortooate]

DQ warning for Denryu. 24 hours to post.

 

[Eta Carinae]

DragonBreath until he's paralyzed, then Dragon Pulse.

DragonBreath ~ DragonBreath/Dragon Pulse x2

 

[The Omskivar]

Hm. Maybe we can make this work.

Sleep Talk until you're paralyzed. Then take an action to Natural Cure. If you wake up but you're not paralyzed, throw up a Light Screen; also do this if you have an action that doesn't fit the above criteria.

Sleep Talk/Natural Cure/Light Screen x3

Magni's mouth gaped open wide, the back of her fishy throat glowing with an eery light. Turquoise and lime-green light spilled forth, speeding out of her mouth like a roiling, angry cloud. The Dragonbreath attack hit its target, blazing over Yuno's bottom-left leg and leaving it burnt-looking. Although it was hard to tell, it didn't seem to Magni that her attack had done anything to paralyze her opponent.

Yuno slumbered on, but on some subconscious level knew its commands. The staryu's central gem glittered randomly as Yuno quietly cried its own name. Suddenly, Yuno began to glow blindingly white. However, the referee pressed a button on his flag and the attack, whatever it was, seemed to stop immediately. The Omskivar scowled a bit at the referee, but rules were rules; Recover was a direct healing move, and thus illegal.

Magni, cheered by this turn of events, spat forth another blast of burning dragon energy. It spun its way quickly to Yuno once more, this time coming into direct contact with one of its breathing tubes; the noxious burn of the Dragonbreath immediately made Yuno seize up, restricting its movement. On the plus side, the burning, however short-lived, served to make Yuno a bit more lucid a bit more early than it otherwise would have been.

However, it was here that it reached an impasse; the staryu's commands said to Sleep Talk until it was paralyzed... and now it was, but still Yuno remained in the cold grips of forced sleep. Yuno wrestled with this in its groggy, sleeping mind for some time but eventually decided to repeat its last action. Once more the central gem on Yuno's body began to sparkle as it mumbled quietly, randomly selecting a move. Oddly enough, the staryu's subconscious once more chose Recover; the pokémon glowed briefly once more before the attack was once more canceled out by the referee. It was at this point that The Omskivar had to be restrained from throttling whatever was within arm's reach.

Magni, who would have been cackling by this point if that was something that fish could or wanted to do, nevertheless had her mouth wide open. Once again, dragon energy pulsed forth, this time in a bubbly wave that shot forward in a straight line at her opponent. The attack struck Yuno in the very center of its gem, and the starfish spasmed violently before settling back down. The attack had been unusually strong; in fact, perhaps it was too strong, since Yuno was now spinning rapidly again, if a bit jerkily.

Awake finally, Yuno felt a strong urge to attack attack attack. However, it felt that it would in fact be wise to try to heal itself. Too bad it was a Glowing staryu and not one of those Natural Cure ones. Yuno, feeling helpless and quite confused, decided to put up a Light Screen. When it was doing the complex mental dance that this required, however, Yuno's respiratory system seized and broke its concentration. The Omskivar then hurt his hand punching a plastic wall.

2. Natural Cure not only takes a round to use, but also isn't Yuko's ability. Refresh, which might be what you meant, is only learned by Starmie in XD.
3. I hope my new status icons aren't confusing.

[The Omskivar]

...Bollocks.

Facade all the way. If they hide like pansies or they're too far away use Swift. If you can't hit them with anything use Double Team because you can.

Facade/Swift/Double Team x3

 

[Eta Carinae]

Dragon Pulse x3

This seems like a better idea than thinking through every possibility.

Magni, still feeling great about the Random Number Gods' favor of her, is only too glad to fire another turquoise-hued beam of dragon power at her opponent. Whether it's due to her irritated eyes or some cosmic balancing of luck, however, the blast of energy passes in between Yuno's spinning legs and right past the starfish, melting some of the ground's plastic-flake covering into an irregular lump. Magni narrows her eyes at her opponent, feeling that it has somehow cheated.

If Yuno notices the glare, then it doesn't show it. For a moment, the staryu allows its legs to sag a little, showing just how terrible these status effects are for it to deal with. After a moment it perks them back up and flings itself forward to attack; however, halfway through its pseudomuscles seize up and Yuno ends up spinning harmlessly past Magni, clipping her fin with about as much force as a falling paperback book.

Once again, and feeling a bit reassured now that everyone was having bad luck, Magni spat out another roiling cloud of draconic power that headed straight at her opponent this time, sending her opponent into a faster spin as it hit one of the legs.

Yuno didn't even get a chance to attack this time, as its spin halted momentarily and Yuno, once more, was rendered incapable of moving. The Omskivar, at this point, had to be placed in a pair of fuzzy pink handcuffs that Blastoise just happened to have, cough cough. Towards the end, at least, Yuno seemed to loosen up a bit more permanently. :D?

Magni (by now thinking that the RNGs were becoming a tad excessive in their protection of her) spat a halfhearted Dragon Pulse at her opponent, perhaps giving Yuno a bit more leeway than she otherwise might. Nevertheless, under the stern gaze of her trainer, Magni's attack hits Yuno squarely and at this point The Omskivar just punches himself in the face with the handcuffs.

Yuno, although less expressive than its trainer, is also seething with anger at this point. Focusing this anger into physical action, Yuno spins at great speed and rushes forward, smashing into Magni with amazing power and absolutely beating. Her. Down. She flies one way, Yuno slams her back in the opposite direction, she gets tossed into the air, and Yuno smacks her down into the unyielding floor. By the end of it, the area surrounding the pair is filled with wildly-churning plastic flakes and more than a little blood. The Omskivar immediately stops hitting himself and cheers, and the other two participants clap politely, although Denryu requires a bit of urging.

Also what's making the water red around Yuno?

That'd be Illuminate.

Late-as-cripes DQ warning for Denryu. I had no idea this much time had passed.

Chill to start, then a couple more Dragon Pulses. If your Chill was stopped somehow on the first action, try again on the second.

Chill ~ Dragon Pulse/Chill ~ Dragon Pulse

He's got a post in the Absence Sheet but it isn't really for the battles he's a trainer in so... Tentative DQ Warning for The Omskivar. This is really more oof a bump so he can find it, so.

Hrmph. I'm active enough to post hopeless commands. Let's try something I haven't yet. If you paralyzefail on the first action, keep Resting until it works.

Her nose still streaming blood into the water around her, Magni swishes her fin to propel herself away from Yuno's immediate perimeter. This having been accomplished, she allows her eyes to close for a moment; although her retinas are still ablaze with blue afterimages, she manages to relax her fishy brain enough to slow her heart and take stock of her injuries.

Meanwhile, Yuno is doing something similar. Its gem starts to glaze over as the staryu's carapace lights up purple-blue; however, its Rest is interrupted by the referee and his Move Disruptor. Said referee reminds The Omskivar that direct healing is banned, and Yuno reminds him that she is capable of electrocuting him in his sleep.

Opening her eyes and feeling rather refreshed, Magni looks about and, noting that nothing noticeable has changed, gives her familiar grin. She whips about for a moment or two, getting back into fighting mode, before taking a wide left around Yuno. Before long she swivels to point at her opponent and, still moving laterally, looses a bubbling torrent of turquoise at her flagging opponent. The attack flows over the staryu, temporarily drowning the sea-star's own light.

Yuno, with a weak tinkling noise, hides from all the pain deep within its own mind, attempting to calm itself down and perhaps muster energy for some final push. In moments, the staryu's red light evens out and turns a color less like blood; its spinning evens out rather nicely and its central gem looks a bit less drained.

Magni quirks a nonexistent eyebrow, wondering what her opponent might be up to. Certainly this wasn't the time to be lazing about, what with the staryu's poor health. However, Magni wasn't one to pass up an opportunity when one presented itself, and so she swam cautiously closer, checking for any tricks, before letting out another Dragon Pulse. As it slammed through her target, the staryu went spinning away.

A tense moment passed between all of the participants, although the effect was a bit muddled by the swirling snow and cheery atmosphere of the arena itself. Yuno pulsed weakly for a moment more before its inner light faded, its aura of bright red disappearing along with it.

The Omskivar sends out and attacks, then Denryu attacks.​

 

[The Omskivar]

Well shit. I really need to start paying attention to all the things.

Ehh...let's go with Schwarzengerman. Why not. Let's lead off with a Swagger. On the second action, Focus Energy; third action, Bullet Seed. If there's a Sub on the first action, Bullet Seed until it dies and then Swagger if you've got the time. Focus Energy on the first action and Amnesia on the second and third actions if you are Protected against.

Hypnosis, Chill, Toxic. Move everything back if Hypnosis misses on the first action.

[Blastoise Fortooate]

The Omskivar grimly recalls his unlucky team member and reaches back into his waterproof bag for another poké ball. After selecting one that he thinks might work, the trainer tosses the ball through the water- or tries to; the water in the snowglobe is not conducive to throwing, and so the ball slowly drifts down. Landing soundlessly in a mound of plastic snow, the ball's release mechanism nonetheless engages and, in a wash of white light, reveals a medium-sized grey fish. The remoraid blinks, flipping himself around to investigate the area around him. He quirks his brow when he sees Magni but otherwise looks unimpressed.

As Schwarzengerman continues to look about, Magni pushes herself towards her new opponent. Although he immediately gets on guard, preparing for an attack to come his way, all that happens is that the other fish tries to make eye contact with him. Confused, Schwarzengerman looks back, trying to look intimidating and unconcerned. This plan goes out the window when Magni's eyes turn solid red and terrifying; before the remoraid can break eye contact, Magni sends a pulse of delta waves through Schwarzengerman's optic nerves and straight into his brain. Before he can do a thing, the grey fish's eyes close forcefully and he begins drifting with the fake snow.

The next action is boring; Magni simply sits back and, as before, calms herself and takes a break from it all. Meanwhile, Schwarzengerman mumbles in his unnatural sleep, twitching occasionally and looking much less restful than his opponent.

The third is slightly more eventful, as Magni swims forward and hacks up a mess of Toxic sludge and bile. However, the attack doesn't fly too far in the watery surroundings, floating like some kind of sick purple landmine before being slowly dissolved by the shifting liquid around it. Magni swims away from the fizzy mess, and (despite his proximity), Schwarzengerman appears to similarly be unaffected by the gunk.

Herp, forgot about that little added tidbit. Sooo, get close enough that it won't dissolve, like when you used Toxic on the Staryu, then use Toxic. Follow up with a Dragon Pulse. He should be awake on the final action, so use Confuse Ray, unless he Protects, or something else that prevents you from hitting him, in which case put up a Light Screen. Dragon Pulse if he's still asleep for some reason.

Toxic ~ Dragon Pulse ~ Confuse Ray/Light Screen/Dragon Pulse

Eugh...well, not much you can do now. Try to...swim away, I guess. If you're awake on the first action, Swagger; second action, Bullet Seed; third action, Protect.

​

As Schwarzengerman snores softly and peacefully, his opponent swims forward, easily and agilely avoiding the mess she's already made. Slipping cautiously forth, Magni belches up some Toxic gunk directly into her enemy's face. It takes some time and some doing, but in the end Magni manages to poison her opponent with about as much effectiveness as she would be able to in open air. Relieved, the feebas paddles away backwards as Schwarzengerman's snoring is replaced by groaning.

Magni looks at her opponent critically, wondering if he's awake. It appears that the answer is no, though, so the feebas's jaw pops open and she releases a torrent of jewel-like energy; the Dragon Pulse bounds forth and strikes Schwarzengerman in his tailend, sending him swirling through the snow and flipping him about in all directions. When the flurry clears, though, the remoraid has been roused from his slumber by the attack, and he seems quite incensed by it.

As if to prove that he is, in fact, incensed, Schwarzengerman rights himself with precision and spits out an attack of his own; little green seeds, wickedly pointed at one end, blur out of his mouth at blinding speed in five short bursts. Although a couple of the rounds miss their mark, three of the volleys hit directly, digging tiny holes into Magni's skin before twisting off alongside the fake snow around her.

Gurgling indignantly, Magni nevertheless hangs back a bit, as ordered. This pays off when she sees her opponent's next move. Schwarzengerman focuses his mind through a haze of poison and calls forth a translucent green wall in front of himself. Snickering to herself, Magni does something similar, focusing her mind and flapping her tail in the water. The water solidifies and turns a pale blue in a matter of moments, although it is obvious that it is truly held in place by her will. Schwarzengerman glares disappointedly at his opponent as his Protect fizzles out uselessly.
