Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
Kalameet, hit Sekhmet with a Super Fang. When you've landed one, or if she protects, use Dragon Pulses on Korra. If Sekhmet puts clones up take them out with Air Cutter.
Super Fang @Sekhmet/Dragon Pulse @Korra/Air Cutter x3
Artorias, keep smacking Korra with Iron Heads. If she changes herself back to Water-type, make that a Shadow Claw, and if she protects, use Iron Defense.
Iron Head @Korra/Shadow Claw @Korra/Iron Defense x3

------------------------------
A shrill, pathetic, adorable mewl echoes through the subway carriage. Kalameet and Artorias find themselves utterly enraptured by Totodile's ADORABLE MEWLING LION oh it's just a plain old cat. It's still pretty adorable, though.
Shaking herself free from her existential crisis, Intrepid Frog surrounds herself with dark energy that flows into her veins as she leaps toward Artorias. She clubs him right over the hilt with a froggy fist and snatches his Dusk Stone for her own while he's distracted, scurrying back to her partner before he can take it back. A true demonstration of the honourable tactics of her tribe! Intrepid Frog is quite pleased.
Meanwhile, Sekhmet pounces enthusiastically on a heap of stuffing left over from Anput's destruction of the seats earlier and proceeds to scatter bits of cotton everywhere. The other Pokémon, two trainers, and the referee end up completely covered in a coat of fluff before she remembers her real objective and begins shaping a likeness of herself, tiny jolts of electricity erupting from her mane as she purrs happily at her new toy. A few of the sparks touch the pile of fuzz and it jumps to life, echoing its master's purrs, albeit with a grating, cotton-like sound to them.
Unfortunately, this new companionship is doomed to be cut short. Kalameet's fangs begin to glow blindingly white as he charges them up with as much energy as he can possibly muster. He streaks through the air toward Sekhmet with a low hiss, and Sekhmet's double cries out in horror and leaps at the last second to intercept the attack. Its last, pitiful attempt at a yowl rings through the room as Kalameet's supercharged fangs tear it to pieces, and Sekhmet crouches down to mourn her lost creation, completely ignoring her partner's distressed croaks for help as Artorias clunks her over the head with his blade again and Korra retaliates by cloaking herself in a veil of water droplets and ramming straight into said offending blade.
When she finally raises her head again, Sekhmet turns a vengeful gaze on her Substitute's destroyer. Kalameet stares back with unblinking yellow eyes, completely unfazed by Sekhmet's attempt to appear intimidating. Sekhmet bats a paw oh-so-threateningly at the air on front of her, and a thin jolt of electricity jumps out of it, flying straight to the air to electrify Kalameet's wings. The Noibat frantically attempts to flap his wings and fails, falling halfway through the air before regaining control of himself to hover at a much lower height.
Kalameet looks at Artorias, and Artorias looks at Kalameet, and the two teammates nod to each other in understanding and turn upon Korra as one. Kalameet charges up a sphere of bright green dragon energy and lets it fly to engulf Korra in a burst of blazing draconic flame. The fire burns for so long, in fact, that Artorias has to wait a bit for it to die out before enshrouding the tip of his sword in ghostly energy and hacking away at Korra's neck through her frothy white scarf. The dual assault is too much for our intrepid hero, and she falls to her side with a final croak of despair.
Sekhmet sees her partner fall and begins yowling in anguish, unconsciously emitting a strange pulse of electrical energy as she does so that floods over Kalameet and overwhelms him with its ultrasonic pitch that only he can hear. Struggling to regain his focus, he looks around the carriage, completely bewildered; he's meant to be attacking Korra, but the Frogadier isn't here anymore. What's he supposed to do now? Artorias answers the question for him, slashing at Sekhmet's mane with his sword imbued with ghostly energy, and Kalameet follows suit, firing off a second pulse of green draconic flame. Sekhmet mewls and wails in pain and they both flinch a little, feeling somewhat guilty about ganging up on the poor, defenseless kitty...

Sangfroidish (2/3 left) Kalameet ♂ @ Yache Berry Ability: Telepathy Health: 89% Energy: 52% Status: Confused and disoriented; both his brain and the rest of his nervous system feel completely scrambled. Severely paralyzed (21% failure chance). -1 Attack, -2 Special Attack. Used: Super Fang @ Sekhmet ~ Dragon Pulse @ Korra ~ Dragon Pulse @ Sekhmet
Artorias ♂ Ability: No Guard Health: 21% Energy: 51% Status: Feeling even more uncomfortable: not only has he hurt the poor kitty, but he hasn't used his signature move in an entire round! -1 Attack. Used: Iron Head @ Korra ~ Shadow Claw @ Korra ~ Shadow Claw @ Sekhmet
Blugh, sorry for quality of writing. I've been feeling kind of stuck. Please let me know if any of the numbers seem odd as well, since I was really tired and distracted when I did the calcs. :C
Korra's Thief was a critical hit. So were both of Kalameet's Dragon Pulses.
As far as I can tell, using Super Fang on a Substitute does damage equal to 50% of the owner's health to the Substitute.
Artorias's Shadow Claw on the second action KO'd Korra.
After Korra fainted, Artorias and Kalameet had no idea what to do with themselves, so they each performed one of their commands at random on whoever they could see (i.e., Sekhmet).
Poor Korra. Good night, sweet princess! We will probably avenge you.
This is starting to get a bit tight, Sekhmet, but I have faith in you. Being alone does have its upsides, so let's take advantage of that: Discharge those guys like a sergeant dealing with misconduct. Then, use Night Slash on Artorias, but if he Protects, use Ice Fang on Kalameet. Finish with another Discharge. If at any point both of them are Protecting, Howl viciously like lions always do.
Discharge/Howl ~ Night Slash @Artorias/Ice Fang @Kalameet/Howl ~ Discharge/Howl
I would love to Wide Guard against both of those Discharges but apparently I need rocks for that and we're on a blinking train. Instead, let's just use Double Team to give us a chance against that Night Slash and then Metal Sound until you drop, Artorias. Godspeed, you spammy bastard o7
Double Team ~ Metal Sound ~ Metal Sound
Meanwhile, Kalameet, let's throw a ton of Facades at it. Throw in a Chill on the second action to boost our ailing energy reserves. If you're fully paralysed, just try to chill the best you can instead.
I WILL REWRITE LATER I GUESS, TAKE THIS THING edit: OKAY CLUMSILY REDONE LOL
Round Seven
Sangfroidish Kalameet ♂ @ Yache Berry Ability: Telepathy Health: 89% Energy: 52% Status: Confused and disoriented; both his brain and the rest of his nervous system feel completely scrambled. Severely paralyzed (21% failure chance). -1 Attack, -2 Special Attack.
Artorias ♂ Ability: No Guard Health: 21% Energy: 51% Status: Feeling even more uncomfortable: not only has he hurt the poor kitty, but he hasn't used his signature move in an entire round! -1 Attack.
With an indignant yowl, Sekhmet starts to gather up electrical energy that expands into an orb crackling with static around her, making her fur stand up on end. Sparks fly from her tail to ignite the unstable ball of electricity and it explodes outward in all directions, waves of energy engulfing both Artorias and Kalameet as they cry out in horror. The subway carriage abruptly stops moving and the lights fizzle out, plunging the arena in darkness until the faint blue of the emergency lights that blink on in the tunnel outside outside filters in through the windows.
Artorias propels his sword through the air toward Sekhmet, watching her warily with his one eye. "Easy, now, kitty... there's a good kitty..." As he gets within biting distance, Sekhmet snaps at him furiously, and he screams and shoots away, leaving a trail behind him that forms into two identical Artoriases. Sekhmet looks around at them in confusion, as Kalameet desperately tries to regain control of his erratically spasming wings.
Vicious kitty watches the clones carefully and then slashes hard at one of the Artoriases with claws laced in ghostly energy. The Honedge screams again in agony, revealing himself as the true Artorias, and his clones disappear in a flash. The caustic energy burns and tears through the metal of his blade, leaving uncharacteristically huge gashes in its wake, and Artorias disappears back into his sheath, completely spent. Kalameet doesn't really give a shit, though, as he's busy lounging about on one of the seat cushions. Still angered, the Luxio unleashes a second devastating pulse of electricity in all directions, and the poor electrified bat thrashes at her uncontrollably in revenge, putting all his embarrassment and fury at not being able to even control his own wings behind the force of the attack.
Unfortunately I can't let that Chill conditional fly because by the time Kalameet realized she was fully paralyzed, it was too late to switch commands.
Night Slash was a critical hit and knocked Artorias out.
SIGHS AT SANGFROIDISH'S EDITED COMMANDS as it turns out Night Slash hit the real Artorias so at least I don't have to edit too much.
Anyway that's what I get for thinking about stuff I guess >:V Let's put up a medium Substitute and keep up the Facades. Hyper Voice if he has a substitute of his own, and take out any clones he puts up with Air Cutter.
Sangfroidish Kalameet ♂ @ Yache Berry Ability: Telepathy Health: 69% Energy: 54% Status: ANGERED LIKE AN ANGRY DRAGON. Moderately paralyzed (17% failure chance). -1 Attack, -2 Special Attack.
Totodile Sekhmet ♀ @ Lucky Egg Ability: Intimidate Health: 58% Energy: 77% Status: MEWLING LIKE A MEWLING KITTY.
------------------------------
Sekhmet's teeth glint a bright blue, light reflecting off the slick of ice that's encrusted them before she lunges forward to sink them deep into Kalameet's right wing, striking a nerve in just the right place. The Noibat screeches in terror, and, unable to escape, resorts to gulping down his Yache Berry to soften the blow. He scatters their remains on the ground beneath him and exhales a soft breath; as the mist from his breath touches the remains of the berry, they expand together with some of the cotton lying on the ground to form a living, breathing, flapping copy of himself, which Sekhmet immediately begins tearing into, scattering berry skins and bits of fluff all over the carriage. Looking on in horror as Sekhmet desecrates his precious creation, Kalameet launches himself at the Luxio and begins pummeling her with his little feet and wings, putting more force behind the attack than even he thought he was capable of. Sekhmet continues gnawing, and Kalameet continues thrashing, until finally the poor Substitute bursts into pieces and doesn't reform again. Kalameet's wings droop in grief, and Sekhmet's stomach growls.
Well, this is unfortunate. But we're going down fighting! Use Ice Fangs and Thunderbolt for as long as you're alive. If he Protects, take a Rest, or use Snore if you're already resting.
Okay buddy, the possibility of parafail notwithstanding, we totally got this one. Let's finish it with one last spamfest and kill the kitty with an Outrage! Pls to not be parafailing though.
Totodile Sekhmet ♀ @ Lucky Egg Ability: Intimidate Health: 18% Energy: 65% Status: Getting kind of hungry. That Substitute only whetted her appetite.
------------------------------
With no Substitute left to gnaw on, Sekhmet goes right back to the real thing. Condensation forming near her mouth, she supercools the air around her fangs so that they freeze over with a covering of ice. She pounces on the defenseless Noibat and bites down, hard; so hard, in fact, that Kalameet completely forgets what his next move was supposed to be as he struggles in agony against the freezing cold teeth piercing his skin.
It comes back to him, is shocked back into him, really, after Sekhmet throws a huge jolt of electricity right into his face. Pulling himself upright, Kalameet cloaks himself in a swirling vortex of dark orange draconic flame and roars with all the fury possible in his sound range. It comes out as kind of a hiss mingled with a pathetic little squeak, but the fire alone is frightening enough for Sekhmet, who scrambles to get away from the rampaging bat looming above her. There's nowhere to go in this tiny subway carriage, however, and she has no escape as Kalameet slaps her upside the head with wings surrounding by vicious dragon fire. Sekhmet half hopes that she can put the flames out with yet another ice-laced bite, but though the Noibat cries out in pain, the flames keep burning as strongly as ever. Towering over the cowering kitty, Kalameet stomps her head into the ground with a furious hiss, hardly even noticing the Luxio falling into unconsciousness as he rages on to destroy the rest of the seats in the subway carriage. Good thing this was an old, unused car, right? Oh... the trainers paid a hefty deposit on it...?
After a furious fight to the finish, Sangfroidish edges out to be the victor! He gets $24, Kalameet gets 3 exp, and Artorias and the Lumbering Beast get 2 exp each. Totodile gets $12, 2 exp and happiness for Anput, 3 exp for Sekhmet, and 2 exp for Korra. I get $15.
Good game, both of you! It was really down to the wire at the end there.
freaking jesus I totally did not deserve to win that literal trainwreck but I will take it. I'm fighting so many ridiculously close battles lately what the hell
Awesome fight, Totodile! I was pretty much convinced you had me right from the word go when I screwed up with that Power Trick, and then later when I screwed up literally everything else, but I guess I made it work o/ And thanks for taking us, Eifie! Splendid reffing as always~
hahaha I was working so hard on remembering Anput's pronouns all the time because I kept calling her a he. I think I fixed all of Kalameet's pronouns now.
It really was close! Good game, Sangfroidish! I should have been more attentive about minor details like a screen being up and such, but it was still intense!
