Arena: Evolution Stone Cave

Our battle today takes place in the most sparkly, shiny, impossible place ever; the Evolution Stone Cave. The cave is pretty big, with enough space to comfortably fit a Wailord, and with a ring of deep water surrounding the arena. No Wailords are allowed, however. The thing that gets everyone about here though, is the millions and billions of bits of shiny evolution stones embedded in the ground, ceiling and walls. Though these bits are pretty small, if you took a piece out it wouldn't count as an evolution stone so don't try that. Also scattered around the cave are gems, all shining and glittering in some unknown source of light.

The pure power of the evolution stones is pretty concentrated here. Every round, the Pokemon have a 95% chance of changing types; from whatever type they are to either Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Rock, Dark, Ice, Psychic or Ghost. All abilities of the Pokemon remain the same, ghosts can still phase or turn invisible, Flying types can still fly. All effects dispell after the end of the round.

Arena status: Unchanged.

-----​

As it slowly grew predictable, both Pokémon stared at the ceiling, expecting it to flare up. As it did. However, this time, it seemed much brighter than the other times. It unanimously shone in a deep blue color, then invaded the battlers’ bodies in the shape of beams. As the show ended, both Haneul and Phalanx looked very different from before, bearing several fins.

The Shinx took action first, as usual. With a downward swing of her tail, now vaguely like a mermaid’s, she summoned electric-type powers and used them to alter her magnetic proprieties, until she gained some degree of repulsion for the ground, causing her to levitate a bit. Further screwing around increased the distance between her and the floor. The Substitute, of course, followed suit.

Easily catching the meaning of his opponent’s determined, almost murderous gaze, the Lileep drew psychic-type power from his essence, focusing it right in front of him. It solidified in a rectangular shape, forming a barrier.

By then, Haneul had already finished figuring her next move, taking notice of what type her foe obviously became. With a leap, she summoned her now hidden electric-type powers, as sparks crackled from her skin. As she started to land on her “ground”, slightly above the actual ground, she shot a ball of charge from her mouth. The attack completely ignored the Barrier put up previously, and just quickly spread around the target’s body, now much more capable of conducting electricity. Part of the shock was either ignored or incapable of passing through the mass of stockpiled energy, but it still hurt.

Taking such a blow made the Lileep more inclined to fight back. He couldn’t fall behind like that. First thing in order was to crush that Substitute. He made some acid out of his body fluids, spitting toward the floating opponent. It hit square, and while it didn’t look like it made an impact, it shattered the cracked life force shell.

However, the real Shinx behind remained active. Enough to follow the same procedures as just before, attacking with one more Thunderbolt.

Knowing that he couldn’t put up with these attacks much longer, the sea lily was eager to pull the next move. His yellow eyes started to become bright. Very bright. The lion cub looked straight at these eyes, and flinched for a second. Then, as she opened her eyes, colorful lights flashed around her at high speeds. She focused, trying to jump at one of them… But they moved so fast, she couldn’t do much more than stand around, waiting for a lucky break.

At that moment, all fins started to disappear, allowing the fur and the skeleton to be where they belong.

Fff, more bad typings. I think the cave hates me. Phalanx, maybe if you stopped staring at the ceiling, it'd be nicer to us :<

Well, looks like Haneul's starting to run out of energy. So, let's make Giga Drain (energy) be your default command on all actions. Now, there isn't much that he can to do weasel out of those things, except the nasty Substitute. If he does raise one, use Stealth Rock, Barrier, and Swords Dance, in that order. Use those commands as well, if he Protects. If at any time Haneul has clones, use Natural Gift instead.

Giga Drain (energy)/Stealth Rock/Natural Gift ~ Giga Drain (energy)/Barrier/Natural Gift ~ Giga Drain (energy)/Swords Dance/Natural Gift

...and once again I have the creeping feeling I've forgotten something very important...

I didn't do this before because of her post in the Absence Sheet, but this battle is two days away from being inactive for two months. I suppose I ought to DQ her.

blazheirio889 gets $8, and I get $5.

 

[Negrek]

You should always give a warning before disqualification.

Edit: I know it's not likely to make a difference in this case, but it's just common courtesy.

 

[blazheirio889]

Uh, shouldn't Phalanx get 1 EXP? And for that matter, I think Haneul should, too.

 

[M&F]

Oh, yeah, that's true. 1 point of experience for each.

Also, Negrek, I am aware of DQ warnings, I just figure not many people would remember to do it in this situation, which was my case.

 

[Negrek]

Well, I know you know of DQ warnings; I'm just saying that they're not really optional. If you forget about a battle for a really long time and someone should be disqualified, you give them a warning first. If you forget to give a warning, just suspend the DQ for another day and make the last post a warning--it's no big deal.
