Caffeine Addiction
Being a Zubat isn't easy - Between irritating adventurers to no end, hanging upside down wishing you could flip off the Clefairy on the ground back, and producing gratuitous amounts of guano - There's barely even time for a coffee break! Well, that is to say, noone in their right mind would give a Zubat coffee - and this is why.
Twitch is an industrial Zubat - meaning she hails from a cave near a newly developed area. The wildlife haven't quite adapted to the invasion of humans, nor their resources. Being a populated area, the infamous chain Staryubucks had the need to put no less than 3 stores per block into commission. One might guess there is an excess of coffee grounds, leftover coffee, and lazy stuck up businessmen. Naturally it's far too difficult to walk across the street to the bin when disposing of caffeine irradiated rubbish which flows off chain stores like this - But a cave in the back lot seems perfect does it not?
Now most Pokemon are rather put off by this foul beverage humans seem to consume en mass - but not Twitch. No indeed she was rather fond of it, raiding the trash piles which amassed for scraps of food, and of course, coffee~
Of course as with most natural formations which humans get their grubby mits on, the cave was eventually overfilled to the point no Pokemon could inhabit it any more. Twitch was forced out much against her will - and subsequently shooed far away as she attempted to roost into the Staryubucks building itself. (Not before corporate sales tried to market Guano Coffee Mugs, however - which didn't go over as well as planned.) Going into major caffeine withdrawal, she was eventually found bashing her head against a tree in response to a major migraine developed in the morning sunlight. Easily captured - she was also quickly put up for adoption for a certain kind-hearted and similarly caffeine addicted individual to take into their arms.
Naturally, Twitch is one hyper batty. As opposed to the normal, fairly calm and collected nature of a Zubat - Twitch is erratic and sleepless. Instead of the normal focus presented, she is a hopeless insomniac. Sleep inducing techniques are essentially completely useless as she flies around in confounding patterns and speeds. This also grants her a certain manner of unpredictability - she will sometimes catch her opponents very off guard, making her slightly harder to hit and occasionally granting surprise attacks. Of course, being hyped up and extra-reactionary as she is, she is not only vulnerable, but in fact more prone to the flinching effect.
Effects
Inner Focus ability replaced with Insomnia ability. Permanent 5% boost to Accuracy and Evasion. Attacks with the "Flinch" added effect have a 10% added chance of causing the Flinch effect on use.
Sig Move: Coffee Break
Type: Dark / Stat: Supportive / Base Damage: N/A / Accuracy: 100% / Target: Self / Energy: Varies / Duration: Varies
Effects:
Just as the name may suggest, Twitch takes a turn for a breather and a nice cup o' joe. She simply flies back to her trainer for access to the thermos she will undoubtedly have on hand for a shot of whatever delicious treat may be inside. Depending on what she receives (The choice is random, with an equal chance of any one type of coffee being selected) she will receive one of various effects. Unfortunately, it's impossible to carry more than one serving at a time, thus she may only access this move once per battle.
Strong Brew: A nice, basic cup of strong, black coffee; unimpeded by fillers and wonderfully energising. Restores Energy (Approximately 5% more than a Chill).
Ice Mocha: A cold, creamy, refreshing chocolatey blend sure to melt the worries of the world away. Restores 30% Health. (May not be used in matches with Direct Healing banned; counts for limited direct healing counter) It still costs energy to relax the body into accelerated healing, but is assisted by the caffeine. Costs 10% energy.
Espresso: A sharp and super-strong shot of condensed caffeine; even the most attuned individual will get a jolt from this stuff. Gives an immediate +4 Speed; This speed will fade by one point every round (3 actions) until it vanishes, or is dispelled. It costs 5% energy to use this move due to the fatiguing amount of activity this blend sends drinkers into.
Espresso Latte: A slightly toned down and slower effect double-shot of Espresso; still packs a major punch, but not all at once. Grants the Speed Boost ability in addition to all other abilities for the duration of the match, causing Twitch to slowly speed up over time up to the normal cap. (Ability remains through switches; meaning Twitch will have to gain the speed back +1 at a time after switching out and back in) However, Sleep-Inducing moves have the ability to cancel the Speed Boost ability at their normal success rate. (They will still not put Twitch to sleep) Twitch will lose acquired boosts in this case. All moves used while under the effect of this move will cost an extra 1% energy after all other calculations. In addition, it takes 3% energy to activate this move, and 3% more each time if Twitch is ever sent back out from being recalled after usage.
Vanilla Latte: A hot, yet refreshing and creamy blend sure to make one feel ready to take on the world with it's comforting vibes. Grants +3 Defence and Special Defence at the cost of -4 Attack and Special Attack. Costs 5% energy to consume.
Exotic Brew: A bracing, strong brewed blend hailing from a remote region. It has a rare flavour and texture, and a balance of caffeine that has the strange tendency to make one feel confident and aggressive; traditionally consumed by native warriors in it's home land. Grants +3 Attack and Special Attack at the cost of -4 Defence and Special Defence. Costs 5% energy to consume.
Usage Gap: Once per battle

Kadabra
Ansem [M]
Ability: Synchronize
It is well known that Kadabra have incredible psychic powers. Many have reported strange phenomena happening just as a result of Kadabra being nearby- clocks running backwards, eerie shadows on television screens, people experiencing headaches and so on. Ordinarily these are just useless side-effects. However, this particular Kadabra accidentally exploded a toaster in the middle of using an innocent Kinesis attack and had a brainwave; maybe these accidental psychic powers could be used to his advantage in battle! He trained to amplify these inherent psychic waves until they affected artificial and technology-related Pokémon, sending them berserk and making them weaker merely from being in battle with Ramuh. Of course the effort of putting out these powerful waves is a great strain on the Kadabra's other, intentional psychic abilities.
Effects: When battling Magnemite, Magneton, Magnezone, Porygon, Porygon2, PorygonZ, Beldum, Metang, Metagross, Bronzor, Bronzong, or any appliance-form Rotom, there is a 10% chance that the Pokémon will be afflicted with Confuse at the start of each round. The waves also have an ability to weakly control electrical currents, meaning that every Electric-type attack aimed at Ramuh has its accuracy reduced by 5%. However the effort of boosting its paranormal PSI-waves causes it to use up 1% extra energy each action (even if idle, sleeping, frozen, flinching, paralysed, or using Chill). On top of this, as the waves are inherently released by all Kadabra they cannot be "switched off", even when they serve no purpose. The waves are also indiscriminate, so any friendly Magnemite, Magneton, Magnezone, Porygon, Porygon2, PorygonZ, Beldum, Metang, Metagross, Bronzor, Bronzong or Rotom will stand a chance of being confused also.

Cappun
Faris [F]
Ability: Pickup
Sig attribute: Gender Cloak
Piracy is a notoriously male-oriented business. Historically, human pirates were loath to allow women in their crews, a practice that has not been ignored by Pokémon. This discrimination was a big blow to Faris, who since her childhood had dreamed of sailing with a crew of famous Cappun pirates, seeing far-off lands, finding treasure and having amazing adventures. Her disappointment ate away at her until one day, she decided to disguise herself as a male Cappun, run away from home, and join a Cappun crew in hopes she wouldn't be uncovered. As luck would have it, she disguised herself well enough to blend in and was accepted into a crew of the most notorious Cappun on the high seas. For years, she lived her dream, sailing to every corner of the world and seeing places she'd only envisioned in her fantasies. After a while, she left the crew, now a famous pirate with a lifetime's worth of tales and memories of her journies, and was eventually captured by Mike for use in the ASB. Though she no longer practices piracy, she still conceals her gender, fiercely protecting her reputation and secretly fearing that one day her deception would be revealed.
Effects: everyone on the field besides Faris and myself will believe her to be male. Attract, Captivate, and any other moves, attributes etc. requiring a Pokémon to be a certain gender will fail as male opponents will believe Faris to be the wrong gender for them to work, and if a female opponent used one it'd fail regardless. The effects of Rivalry will also be reversed; female opponents with Rivalry will receive an attack boost and males will have their attack reduced. However, this obviously means Faris is unable to use such moves as described above either, as doing so would give the game away. Also, if in any way Faris' true gender should be revealed (for instance, being attracted by something not requiring a Pokémon to know she is female, such as Cute Charm or an arena condition), she will become ashamed and reluctant to attack, meaning there will be a 30% chance she will be too embarrassed to act for three actions from the event that reveals it, and Gender Cloak will cease to function for the rest of the battle.
Ralts
Cloud [M]
Ability: Trace
Item: Dawn Stone
Sig Attribute: Buster Sword
For several generations, all of Cloud's male ancestors have been Gallades. This has resulted in a freak birth mutation that gave Cloud a considerably large blade in place of his right forearm. Because of his size and physical frailty, the blade is very hard to lift and makes moving about very difficult, as well as making it impossible to use several of his natural techniques. However it also opens up the possibility to use several other moves, and when he is able to wield it gainfully, it packs a painful punch.
Effects: Cloud has a constant 1-level speed decrease due to the heaviness of his arm, and is unable to use most high-priority or hand-based moves. Any command requiring him to lift his right arm require an extra 2% energy to execute. However, all moves based on cutting, stabbing or slashing get a STAB regardless of their type, at the expense of a 10% drop in accuracy.
Movepool changes:
- Shadow Sneak, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunderpunch, Helping Hand, Fling, Snatch, Double Team
+ Swords Dance, Cut, Psycho Cut, Slash, Night Slash, Leaf Blade, Fury Cutter, Poison Jab

Broadband High-Speed Internet Connection
Porygon are known as the virtual pokemon -- besides being the first pokemon created by humans, they basically live their lives in electronic equipment and can even turn themselves into data. Because of their special ability to work in cyberspace, porygons are widely used to help write programs, fight viruses, and even hack into other computers. However, the most common usage for porygon is actually as a browser for the internet. A porygon can connect itself (provided that it has the permission to) to the internet and access the numerous data in many different servers around the world, obtaining information otherwise inaccessible, chat with people in the other side of the globe, or perhaps just play online flash games. However the cheaper or free connections are usually flooded with porygon, all trying to get to the internet without paying. This cause the information flow to slow down, causing most porygon to be extremely sluggish and slow.
However, Death Cannon's owner had decided to spend some cash and bought some broad band high-speed internet connection for its porygon. Death Cannon can now access the internet faster than ever, giving it an edge in battle as well as the ability to load The Cave of Dragonflies Forums in under a second. Death Cannon's owner isn't the only one who decided to buy broad band connection though; sometimes, too many people will decide to go on the internet at once and cause clogging, thus lowering Death Cannon's speed.
Effects: Death Cannon gains +2 Speed at the beginning of a battle, although, every round, there is a 15% chance of that its speed will go down by 1. The speed boost is not permanent, meaning that attacks such as Scary Face can lower it, although it still cannot reach past the +- 6 limit.
