Laurasia calmly focuses, in a moment later a shimmering green nexus appears. The turtwig looks up, wondering what Simba will do. Simba, noticing the shield, turns away and rushes off in another direction, picking up speed-until he slams into a jagged rock, which had conveniently placed itself in front of him. Grumbling, Simba runs in another direction, and then another, but no matter how much he swerves and dashes, the tight circle rearranges itself to block his path. Simba pouts in frustration and turns to face Laurasia, who looks guilty at putting those stones there.

The turtwig opens her mouth to apologize for the rocks, but Simba, having pieced together his orders, is more focused on gathering energy from the stones and dirt around him, concentrating it into a brown sphere of light. With a light prod (and some squinting), he sends the light hurling towards Laurasia, slamming into her face and knocking her over. Well, that wasn't nice at all, thinks Laurasia. She was only trying to say sorry, after all! Shaking aside any misgivings about the stealth rock thing, she too borrows energy from the ground around her until she has a nice brown blob, then shoots it at Simba. The shinx has no time to react, and takes it full in the eyes, bowling him over and causing some strange brown shapes to appear in his vision, making him feel even more disoriented.

Simba starts putting together some loose dirt, muttering darkly-once he finishes this, then maybe he won't get yet more eye abuse and hurt. The shinx piles his dirt and loose pebbles together, taking care to avoid the rocks, in a passable imitation of a shinx. Trying to convince himself that yes, he did construct a work of art, he places his forehead on the soil, transferring some of his life energy to the substitute. The fake shinx jerks to life, immediately moving between Simba and Laurasia...Who seems to be dancing and jumping around. The turtwig relaxes as she performs her dance, feeling better as she twists and leaps. Once she ends, she feels much more energetic-now is the time to do things!

Notes
-Stealth Rock is still in effect.
-Laurasia's Secret Power rolled 30 exactly, so Simba was merely mildly confused.
-I used the rocky ground type for Secret Power, seeing as there was just rocks and dirt around them.
-Kratos Aurion attacks first next round.

 

[Phoenixsong]

Wait, hold on. Did you subtract health from Simba for the substitute? It doesn't look like you noted how much health it has remaining in the endnotes, either.

 

[Exdeath]

Gah, I knew something was wrong. Fixed.

 

[Phoenixsong]

What a shame you can't use Earth Power yet, hm. Anyway, try this. Safeguard first, then use Bullet Seed to try and get that nasty substitute out of the way so you can see Simba again. If Bullet Seed doesn't break it the first time, do it again; if it does, give your bf over there an enthusiastic greeting with Body Slam.

Safeguard ~ Bullet Seed ~ Bullet Seed/Body Slam

 

[Grass King]

OKay Simba, start off with a Roar to try and distract her from using Safeguard. Next use Fire Fang if she didn't put up a Safeguard, but if she did, use Rain Dance. Remember this is to get back at her for using Secret Power and putting those stones around you. If after the second action, you don't have a Sub left use Protect. But if you do still have a Sub, use Thunder if you used Rain Dance earlier, otherwise use Hidden Power.

Simba grits his teeth and breathes in as much as he can, confident that whatever the turtwig has done to his eyes won't stop him now. Laurasia, content to sit and admire Simba for the time being, jumps in shock when the shinx suddenly roars at the top of his lungs, going on for a few seconds before petering out. Laurasia sighs, shaking her head—that really wasn't necessary, just loud. It wasn't even scary! Simba, seeing no apparent action from her, celebrates mentally, priding himself on making such a great roar and scaring her from doing anything. That'll show her for blinding him!

Simba pauses a bit in anticipation of what he's been ordered to do, not fancying having to dodge around those floating stones...and his vision is swirling and going out of focus and making him disoriented, too. The shinx, now resolved to make Laurasia pay for those rocks and everything else, fills his jaws with fire and darts forward. Unfortunately, he feels a rush of dizziness, and in his lapse of concentration, his front paws catch on a small rock, sending him tumbling to the ground, landing face first in the dirt. Simba angrily gets up, muttering expletives at Laurasia, and flees back behind his substitute, coughing ash out of his mouth.

...Which turns out to be a good move, as a lightning-fast volley of seeds slams into his double, pockmarking it with small holes. Laurasia breathes in, then fires another round of the seeds. While this burst was smaller than the first, it nonetheless takes out a chunk of the construct's head. Simba ducks just in time for another volley, and this time the force of the bullet seeds blasts apart the substitute, reducing it to a pile of loose dirt and revealing a horrified looking Simba. Laurasia doesn't let up on the assault, and the shinx is pelted with seeds. When it ends, Simba breathes a sigh of relief, only to be struck by yet another volley. Laurasia, tired and out of breath, finally stops, satisfied that she's done enough for now.

Simba painfully rises to his feet, glaring at the turtwig with watery eyes. Still, the force of that attack seemed to clear his head, allowing him to focus on his next move. And all the better too, in his opinion—he really doesn't feel like taking any more abuse right now. The shinx concentrates, and a moment later he forms a translucent, green barrier. Laurasia groans inwardly, but steadfastedly runs toward Simba, leaping towards the shield; predictably, she merely bounces of in a rubberlike way. Simba greatfully dispels the protect; a flying tackle was definitely worth avoiding.

[Grass King]

OKay use Fire Fang until shes burnt, then start using Thunder Fang until shes Paralyzed. If you have an extra action, use Secret Power to try and confuse her. If she puts up a Safguard or protect something of the sort, just Chill on the second action, on the first action use Rain Dance, or on the last action, use Flash.

Fire Fang / Rain Dance ~ Fire Fang / Thunder Fang / Chill ~ Fire Fang / Thunder Fang / Secret Power / Flash

 

[Phoenixsong]

Go ahead and try Safeguard again, Laurasia, until it sticks (in the event that you can't attack due to attraction, although after a bunch of attacks like this I doubt the condition will last much longer). If you can, use Leech Seed on the second action and then close your eyes and keep them shut as soon as you've done that; try not to open them for the rest of the round. Chill on the last action.

Safeguard ~ Leech Seed (close eyes afterward)/Safeguard ~ Chill (eyes closed)/Safeguard

After the failure of her last attack, Laurasia decides to take a moment to work out her feelings toward Simba. The shinx really hadn’t been acting much like he liked her at all, attacking her all the time, even after she’d made her own efforts in that regard… While the turtwig is busy ruminating on this, the object of her thoughts, no longer hampered by his own attraction, pounces forward to attack. Accepting the stings of the floating rock shards as he jumps through them, he fills his mouth with flame once again and sinks his burning fangs into Laurasia’s body. The turtwig squeals as what feel like tiny white-hot knives puncture her skin; she immediately backs away as Simba lets go, and regards the shinx with much clearer vision – it’s quite apparent to her now that this guy definitely isn’t worth her time.

Simba doesn’t really notice that he’s lost Laurasia’s affection, but he doesn’t really care about that anymore anyway. He is beginning to feel a little worn out and is anxious to deal some serious damage to his opponent. His mouth becomes hot as he coats his teeth in flames once again, and rushes through the stealth rock to attack. Unfortunately, his vision is still a little blurry from the aftereffects of Flash, and he ends up snapping his fiery little jaws shut just an inch short of his intended target. Shocked, the shinx blinks and tries to clear his eyes as he watches Laurasia, grateful to have avoided being burned, set up a Safeguard around herself. Gauzy green energy seems to bleed from her body, flowing over her until she is completely covered, appearing surrounded by a softly glowing aura.

Now assured of some measure of protection, Laurasia feels quite secure in closing her eyes for the moment – and not a moment too soon. Simba is quite ticked off at missing earlier (I was a freakin’ inch away!), and is rather pleased that his trainer is giving him the opportunity to get back at Laurasia with the same move she had used to cause his miss. The shinx gleefully anticipates her attacks missing him by close margins as his fur lights up and the arena briefly disappears in a blinding flash of light. Unaffected by his own attack, Simba looks eagerly at Laurasia, but his hopes are dashed as he notices that her eyes were firmly shut the whole time. He growls a little as the turtwig just stands and rests were she is, recovering some energy and feeling nice and refreshed.

Please let me know if I missed anything in there - I didn't want to keep you waiting, so I think I might have rushed this round a bit.

 

[Phoenixsong]

Wow okay I forgot it was my turn sorry.

Hm. Try Leech Seed first, then follow up with Toxic and end with Razor Leaf. If Simba uses Protect or is otherwise unreachable, replace that action as follows: Swords Dance, Swords Dance, Safeguard. If Simba chills on the first or second action, use Razor Leaf.

Leech Seed/Swords Dance/Razor Leaf ~ Toxic/Swords Dance/Razor Leaf ~ Razor Leaf/Safeguard

DQ warning for Grass King.

 

[Grass King]

Okay Simba, start off by usign Double Team to get some clones and confuse her. Next use Secret Power, to try and confuse her (I think), and you should still have some clones left. Finally, use Fire Fang to try and burn her.

Okay, fine, Simba thinks irritably to himself, let’s try this. Again ignoring the small floating rocks attempting to keep him in one place, the shinx takes off running in a wide circle around Laurasia, moving so fast that his form seems to split into several blue-and-yellow blurs. After a few seconds of this, all four blurry figures come to a stop in front of the surprised turtwig, each one forming into a perfect visual replica of her opponent. As the stealth rock trap settles back in around Simba, a few of the shards pass through one of the illusions, causing it to vanish immediately.

Undeterred, the three remaining shinx smile tauntingly in perfect unison, the original among them confident, even with the loss of one, that he now has at least some measure of defense against whatever Laurasia’s going to throw at him. The turtwig in question squints at the triplets, trying to detect some inaccuracy in two of them that will tell her who the real Simba is, but the fakes seem just about identical in every aspect. With a sigh, she takes aim at the closest one to her, which happens to be the one in the middle; rather than shooting out a volley of hard-coated seeds like before, she instead spits a single small one straight at the apparent shinx. The seed impacts on the shinx’s chest and immediately splits open, thin green tendrils exploding out and rapidly growing around the startled shinx, who snarls in annoyance as his two clones, thus proven fake, vanish into thin air. The vines from the seed, now fully entangled around Simba’s body, send miniscule rootlets beneath his fur and into his skin, eliciting an irritated twitch from their host as they begin draining small portions of his energy.

Simba, by now, is feeling very, very annoyed. That was totally not fair! Sitting down, he closes his eyes and focuses on the arena around him, gathering up its inherent power via a secret, arcane process. From Laurasia’s point of view, a strange brownish glow begins to gather around the shinx. When he opens his eyes, the process complete, the glow sheds off of him and gathers into a swirling ball in front of his face – then with a snarl, he releases the secret power in the form of a beam of brown energy that extends from the glowing cloud and slams straight into Laurasia.

Thrown back by the force of Simba’s attack, Laurasia takes a moment to recover, aided by the tiny influx of energy that her leech seed is sending her way. Cautiously, she moves closer to Simba, being careful to avoid the sharp rocks orbiting around him. When she feels she’s close enough, she opens her mouth once more to attack; this time, rather than seeds, she spews forth a disgusting purplish-black liquid that splatters over Simba and the ground in front of him. The shinx snarls and hisses angrily as the poison sinks through his skin and into his bloodstream (killing a few of the entangling vines in the process, though not enough to completely free him). Laurasia begins to back away, but before she can get far, the enraged shinx leaps after her, fire leaking from between his jaws. He takes another hit from the floating rock trap, but remains undeterred, darting forward and sinking his burning teeth into Laurasia’s body. His anger seems to add even more fire to his attack then usual, and Laurasia screams in pain as the shinx’s fangs penetrate deeply. When he finally releases her, idly cracking his jaw a little as he backs off, Laurasia sports a very deep and painful, though cauterized, bite wound on her back.

Trying to ignore the pain, Laurasia shakes her head from side to side; the tiny leaves sprouting from the top of her head suddenly seem to release a cloud of larger, sharp-edged leaves into the air around her. Before they can flutter to the ground, Laurasia nods her head and they suddenly become animate, shooting towards Simba at high velocity. Simba just stands stoically where he is and takes the attack; the leaves slice into him as they pass, leaving him covered in tiny scratches (and also, he notices, slicing up a bit more of the tendrils attached to him). His eyes do not deviate from Laurasia, who looks a little disheartened as the greenish veil of her protective safeguard shimmers and disappears.

Okay, Laurasia, you're doing great. Attack with Seed Bomb to start things off. I'm not so worried about the rain, because it'll just lower the damage from any subsequent Fire Fangs and you resist electricity anyway; use Seed Bomb again. And lastly, as nice as that electric resist is I don't want to take any chances. Go ahead and use Protect.

Not breaking eye contact with Laurasia, Simba begins to charge up his electrical stores once again. His fur sparks and crackles and an aura of white electric energy surrounds his body as he builds up charge. Laurasia, still smarting from the shinx’s fiery bite, takes advantage of his present inaction to generate several small seeds inside her body. The seeds pass into her mouth, where they are packed together into a dense ball, while their shells harden to an almost rock-like consistency – this completed, Laurasia spits the seed bomb at Simba with great force. The projectile slams into him and immediately explodes, the seeds cracking open and releasing an outburst of green grass-type energy, and knocking the shinx to the ground.

Startled by the severity of that attack, Simba hesitantly gets to his feet again, rather wishing that he had some cover as he meets Laurasia’s eyes again, whose hard stare tells him that she’s not quite through yet. Regardless, the shinx begins moving, confident that his trainer knows what he’s doing; dancing around in a circle so as to stay within the boundaries of the swirling rock trap still surrounding him, Simba leaps and twirls in a remarkable display of agility, performing an ancient ritual designed to summon the rain. Dark clouds cover up the sun as Simba draws to a conclusion – finally, the shinx stops moving and strikes a dramatic pose, and right on cue the clouds open up and release a downpour. A persistent crackling sound can be heard as the raindrops strike Simba’s electrically-charged fur, surrounding the shinx with a halo of tiny sparks.

Laurasia certainly has no complaints about the rain – momentarily taking her mind off the battle, she sighs in contentment, enjoying the pleasant sensation of raindrops over her skin. Quickly getting back to business, however, the turtwig generates a second ball of seeds and shoots it at Simba, with much the same explosive effect as before. Not waiting for her opponent to get back up, Laurasia shifts her focus back to defense, focusing on giving herself some protection from Simba’s upcoming attack…

Not noticing what his opponent is doing, Simba stands up again and looks to the cloudy sky, a grin appearing on his face as he feels the ambient electrical charge in the clouds, just waiting to be released – and with so much cloud cover, there’s no way for Laurasia to dodge. Simba releases the electricity he had built up into the air; then, with a loud yowl, he summons a spectacular bolt of lighting, extending down from the sky with a booming crash of thunder and striking the ground where Laurasia stands. Simba watches eagerly, expecting to see Laurasia’s charred body staggering away from the impact, barely conscious… But instead, he sees Laurasia surrounded by a transparent greenish energy shield, standing calmly inside it, completely unfazed by the lightning strike. Eyes wide in disbelief, the shinx yowls in frustration as Laurasia drops the shield; he’s not so certain anymore, between the poison and leech seed still sapping his vitality plus his own fatigue, that he can keep going much longer if he doesn’t take the turtwig down soon.

[Phoenixsong]

Very good, Laurasia! Simba's in a real pickle now. He can only chill once, and even then you're still more fit than he is... and I really don't believe that he has any way to do 67% damage to you in three actions or less.

That said, you're still running a little low on energy yourself, so here's what we'll do. If Simba chills, do nothing for that action. Obviously you can't regain any energy yourself, but at least you'll have a safe opportunity to ensure that you don't lose any more than you need to, either. Also do nothing on the last two actions if Simba is unreachable (Protect, etc., but not Substitute).

If Simba looks like he's about to use Ice Fang or Thunder, Protect, but don't do it twice in a row.

Otherwise, Withdraw, Razor Leaf and Bullet Seed.

Driven almost to the end of his endurance, and severely annoyed at all his careful preparation being ruined, Simba shoots Laurasia the fiercest glare he can muster, staring her down and snarling menacingly. Startled, Laurasia backs away a few steps, shaken into lowering her defenses slightly; trying to avoid Simba’s gaze, she lowers her head and pulls it back as far as she can into her shell. Her head is a little too big to be protected fully in this manner, but she does manage to get her neck fully shielded. Cautiously, she watches Simba carefully, hoping that her shell will protect her from any last-minute comeback strategy he may be about to employ…

Simba, however, merely gives her a patronizing look and settles down on all fours, gratefully relaxing his exhausted body and regaining some of his strength. Laurasia waits a little bit, thinking that he’ll surely be trying to hurt her as much as possible as the battle winds down; but when the shinx continues to just sit quietly doing nothing, Laurasia relaxes a bit, and begins idly pacing back and forth, waiting for something to happen.

Suddenly, Simba leaps to his feet and lets out a loud, growling roar, at a volume greatly disproportionate to what his size would suggest he was capable of. Badly startled, Laurasia flinches back, almost tripping over her back legs before realizing that the shinx hasn’t actually attacked her. Still a little distracted from the shock, the turtwig manages to recover enough to produce a small number of seeds inside her mouth; rather than packing them together into a seed bomb, this time she simply spits them out in bullet-like volleys. Simba quickly finds himself being pelted painfully in the face by the barrage of hard-shelled seeds, and he winces in preparation for the second volley he thinks is coming – Laurasia, however, finds that she is already out of seeds after only one attack, Simba’s roar having distracted her too much to make more. Still, she’s not too stressed about it – Simba’s looking incredibly battered and exhausted, a black eye already forming where her bullet seeds hit him in the face, in addition to the steady influx of the shinx’s health she’s leeching off, and she feels fairly confident now that this battle is moving quickly to its conclusion.
