With the way it had worked previously, Bugophobia felt confident that his Poison Tail attack was well worth the effort. Caza was also aware of this, and didn’t like it. As he started to spray a fine powder into the air, Bugophobia was already half way to her target. Hitting solidly, Caza flew back from the impact of the toxic appendage that had beaten him once again in the face. Still a bit winded from last round, Bugophobia breathed deeply as she retreated back to avoid any further confrontation. Unbeknownst to her, she had inhaled a large portion of the sleep-inducing spores that Caza had released beforehand.

Bugophobia knew she as tired, but didn’t think she was this tired. She began to woozily stumble about, and while she recalled her trainer’s order to attack a couple more times, she somehow felt that she could barely walk, much less attack. Soon she was lying on her belly, fast asleep and Caza was winding up for an attack of his own. Charging forward with as much speed as his little legs could muster, Caza jumped when he was with a few feet of Bugophobia and smashed into her with his head. Her limp body flipped over, but she didn’t stir. The chemical sleep she had undergone had her comatose. Caza grinned victoriously, before leaping at her once more, slamming his skull right into her underbelly. Again, Bugophobia did not stir; instead she let out a soft snore, and dreamt of the next round.

Oh jeez, sorry guys. For some reason RK-9's post didn't update the thread so I thought he hadn't attacked yet. I'll edit the reffing into here in a bit.
 
Double posting to make sure you two see this. I'm going to be gone for a week so you might want to find an e-ref for one or two rounds. I'll be back soon.

Round something

Caza charges towards his sleeping opponent, his stubby legs pedalling madly. He then leaps up and bashes into Bugophobia with his head, knocking her onto her back. He lands somewhat shakily, feeling a little bit head-achey after all the hard knocks. Bugophobia looks worse off though – her armour is quite heavily battered now, and her antenna look somewhat frayed.

However, the impact also causes her to awaken, and she looks around woozily at her surroundings before she attempts to right herself again. She frantically wriggles her legs and flips over, shaking her head to clear away the drowsiness. She feels like he's been hit with several.... large mushrooms. It's a weird thought, but it seems appropriate.

When she regains her bearings, she scuttles forward and tries to recall her commands. Apparently she was supposed to taunt her opponent, although she can't figure out how useful that would be. It'd probably just get that stupid mushroom to hurt her even more. She racks her brain trying to think of a good insult to throw out, but the pain and discomfort she's currently in makes it difficult to focus on one. Eventually, she dismisses the command with an irritated shake of her antenna, and instead scuttles rapidly towards her foe, generating a mix of lethal toxins in the sting of her tail.

Caza looks on warily as Bugophobia scampers towards him, and braces himself for the incoming attack. Bugophobia leaps towards him with an angry hiss and delivers a quick swipe with her venom-laced tail, striking him square on the face and knocking him flying.

Caza gives a pained groan as he lands harshly on the ground, his face stinging horribly. He wriggles his body as he awkwardly attempts to get back on his feet, determined to send that bug back to dream-land. When he's back up, he cringes as he sees Bugophobia charging towards him again, and he hastily starts to shake out the cluster of spores that’ll send her back to sleep. Bugophobia is quicker however, and she lashes out with her tail, sweeping the Shroomish off his stubby feet and onto his face. Caza gives an embarrassed yelp, and waves his feet madly as he attempts to right himself, however, the movement also serves to loosen the spores he had been building up, and they drift lazily away from his flailing form.

Bugophobia’s antenna perk up as she sees the familiar cloud of green, and she gives a squeak as she attempts to scamper away. Unfortunately, the cloud moves deceptively fast, and it’s already surrounded her in a haze of spores. Bugophobia struggles not to breathe in the nasty stuff, but her eyelids are already beginning to droop…

As Bugophobia rolls over and begins to snore again, Caza breathes a sigh of relief and finally hops back onto his feet. He then promptly charges at her again, and gives her another good bash with his now considerably sore head. She gives a sleepy squeak of pain as her armour is further dented, and Caza shakily backs off, trying to keep his balance.

Battle notes

- Bugophobia woke up on the first action. Her first poison tail was a critical hit.
- Yeah, those boosted headbutts are doing a lot of damage.
- Venipede cannot learn taunt, so she defaulted to poison tail. (hint, there are other ways to avoid status moves like spore) KR-9, it'd be handy if you could lay your commands out in a format like Sizz-lorr's.
- I added in the battler's abilities for reference. KR-9, you're lucky you haven't inflicted a poison status on Caza so far.
- Normally I go by Kratos' scale, but I think I know what one Aethelstan was using, so I'll be following that for this battle, give or take a few points.
- KR-9 attacks first.​

notes: WAKE UP

Commands: Poison tail 'till you wake up. If she tries to put thou to sleep, use Protect. Do not protect twice in a row.

POISON TAIL/PROTECT~POISON TAIL/PROTECT~POISON TAIL/PROTECT
 
Well, I really think this is simple.

First, use Headbutt. Then if he wakes up and hits you with Poison Tail, use your signature move, Barbaric Rage. After this, if you're poisoned use Facade but otherwise use Headbutt.

Round something

Caza wavers around woozily for a few moments, then slowly makes his way over to his immobile opponent. He gradually picks up speed until his stubby legs propel him into a sprint, and he leaps forward with a yell, bashing into Bugophobia head-on. She gives a muffled squeak of pain as she is forcefully sent flying again, and she lands in an undignified heap, grumbling and muttering sleepily.

Caza staggers back a little, wincing considerably, then flops down on the ground for a moment to catch his breath. He keeps one eye on his foe though, which turns out to be a wise decision. Bugophobia awakens with a start, and she weakly wriggles her legs as she attempts to upright herself. She scrambles around clumsily on the ground, waving her tangled antenna about as she tries to regain her bearings. She’s getting really sick of these involuntary naps, and they’re making her feel horribly disorientated and cranky.

She drags herself forward and glares at Caza through half-lidded eyes, all the while generating a mixture of toxins in the tip of her tail. Caza quickly pushes himself up as he sees her angrily charge towards him again, but he is caught off guard as she swiftly lashes out with her poison-laced tail.

Caza gives a hiss of pain as he gets another face-full of poisonous barbs, and he irritably shakes his head as the lash-marks on his face start to sting worse than ever. He backs away and crouches down, panting from a mixture of exertion and pain, and tries to block out his surroundings. He closes his eyes and allows himself to concentrate on a mixture of angry, vengeful thoughts, as he tries to get himself pumped up and full of rage. He thinks back to all those Taillows and Swellows that tried to push him around, and how he taught them a thing or two… and he sure as hell isn’t going to let some bug push him around either. He puffs himself out as he repeats this little mantra to himself, and he finds himself becoming more invigorated and energized.

When he opens his eyes, Caza gives a guttural sounding snarl as a green aura flares up around him like a bonfire, engulfing his enraged features in an eerie green glow. Caza’s gaze is firmly locked on the Venipede, and his unwavering stare is starting to creep her out. He looks like he's completely snapped.

Bugophobia cringes and scuttles backwards, feeling more than a little unnerved by the livid Shroomish. She never would have imagined a mushroom could be so… terrifying. She flicks her antenna nervously and twitches her tail, then hesitantly moves a little closer.

Caza glares at her with his beady eyes, and holds his ground as she nervously scampers up to him and swings her tail, striking him with the venomous barbs. She hits him square in the face, but this time, Caza remains steady on his feet, and Bugophobia is left staggering back from the unexpected resistance the Shroomish puts up.

She scuttles round to look at him, and gives a startled squeak as he charges towards her, the green aura around him flaring up menacingly. He leaps towards her with gusto and bashes into her, sending the bug flying through the air. She gives a shrieking hiss of pain as she lands harshly on the ground, covered in bumps and bruises. Caza continues to glare at her as she shakily picks herself up, and she staggers around uncomfortably, frightened and in a world of hurt.

p-p-plus six?! HOW WAS THIS APPROVED

Aaa stall it out protect~p.t~protect
 
wait what happens if I use a pokemon that has evolved/I don't own anymore?

Is there a paradox that we live with or does it get altered? :/
 
Why? Planning on using that Frillish?

*sneer* *snicker* *evil planning*
 
No, the pokémon gets the experience still, no matter where or what stage it is. So if you were planning on using the Frillish, thank you in advance.
