This is the goddamn United States of America. I don't have to justify my vote to anyone but myself.

I'll post mine in a tick, but Deino doesn't get Guts. It gets Hustle. Also, what's with everyone having more than 6 Pokemon? Also, Sarcus, you have a LOT of pseudos planned for your team. Username: Jory Character name & gender: Sonny (Male) Affiliation: Village Rank: Guard Team: You already have this, but Nemea is still a Litleo. She won't evolve until level 35. Future members: Maverick (Staraptor, M) Sloth (Snorlax, M) Regigigas Spells: Illusions (Illusion), Concussion Blast (Offensive), Flame Blast (Offensive), Frenzy (Illusion), Berserker's Rage (Offensive) Personality: Warm, loyal, and accessible, but a bit of a trickster. Height: 5'10" Age: Halted at 18 Likes: Battling, Nature, Normal-types, climbing trees Dislikes: Team Shadow Crush: Alina Other: Emerald is the only person aside from Sonny who knows how long he's been in the Village of Clouds. He uses exclusively Normal-types, but loves all Pokemon regardless of type. Sonny is skilled in the use of Offensive Magic and is descended from a line of Berserkers, Poke-People who employ physical boosting magic through the Offensive branch instead of the Psychic branch. This can occasionally cause them to lose control in battle, although the presence of friends helps curb this effect. Sonny's weapon of choice is a hand-and-a-half sword called "Necessity." It is a simple arming blade forged in a manner similar to that used for katana. He prefers to use his fists, but will draw his sword if the need arises. Emerald and Alina are the only two in the village who have seen him wield his blade. Sonny often employs his offensive magic and his Pokemon's abilities to add additional strength to the blade. Skills: I have no idea what these are for.

+I think I'm starting to feel better. -I'm still sick

Lituania is my favorite Baltic state <3

((Short post, but I'd like to keep this moving)) Roland sighed, putting down the small figurine that he had managed to carve over the past three hours. It was a small effigy of Cre, the human god of balance. Even as a child, Roland had never been religious. He had always relied on his intuition and survival skills to get him past the obstacles he faced in his life. His opinion was still the same; he would rely on himself in the coming journey, not on some apathetic deity who viewed Roland in the same way that Roland might view an ant. The figurine was not for him, though. He finally snapped out of his reverie and took out his smaller dagger, rotating it slowly as he pressed into the small piece of wood he'd left on top of the figure's head. When the blade poked through, Roland took a leather strip from his bag and looped it through, tying a knot. He held the amulet up to the light from the moon, grinning lightly in pride. He stuffed it into a pocket on his leather armor, then stood up and crossed the campsite. He poked Crag in the midsection with the tip of his boot. "It's your turn to keep watch, Crag. Uneventful night so far."

That physical Thundurus is a real threat in today's meta. It counters very commonly used Pokemon, particularly Mega Venusaur and Speed Boost Blaziken (both Mega and non-Mega). It deals extremly heavy damage to common switch-ins to Thundurus, making it a surprise when your sea-snail gets OHKO'd by Fly. Here are some calculations I threw together to show just how powerful it can be after a Defiant boost: I used Aerial Ace as filler and changed its power to 90 because screw Smogon's damage calculator: +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 489-576 (68.4 - 80.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Blissey: 535-630 (74.9 - 88.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Blissey: 535-630 (74.9 - 88.2%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock +2 252 Atk Expert Belt Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 542-641 (148.9 - 176%) -- guaranteed OHKO +2 252 Atk Expert Belt Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Mega Venusaur: 446-526 (122.5 - 144.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO +2 252 Atk Expert Belt Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Blaziken: 866-1022 (287.7 - 339.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO +2 252 Atk Expert Belt Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Blaziken: 778-917 (258.4 - 304.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gastrodon: 246-291 (57.7 - 68.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gastrodon: 246-291 (57.7 - 68.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Jellicent: 361-426 (89.3 - 105.4%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Jellicent: 361-426 (89.3 - 105.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Skarmory: 78-92 (23.3 - 27.5%) -- 5.3% chance to 4HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery +2 252 Atk Thundurus Aerial Ace vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Diglett: 739-870 (459 - 540.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO As you can see, Thundurus has the capability to rip through an unprepared enemy team.

bb i can teach u how 2 dougie

Try to propel it to after-school. Don't worry, "detention" isn't as bad as it sounds.

I almost cried from happiness when I saw your proper use of bracketing.

I'm opposed to Black Kyurem based on the fact that it would require you to have two legendaries: Zekrom & Kyurem. And I think Max would be best off with Entei tbh. EDIT: Take that as a compliment because Entei is my favorite legendary by far

Roland grinned slightly as Nash finished his story. He'd heard many different variations of it in his travels, but Nash had managed to put a certain warrior's charm into it. While he was musing, Megaira passed by him on her way out of camp. Roland nodded in acknowledgement, taking a knife off of his leg and beginning to whittle at a small log he'd taken from the wood pile. The ranger figured that Megaira was probably going out to the woods in order to perform a necromantic ritual that she didn't feel comfortable sharing with the others just yet. A sudden quieting of the owls and other night creatures confirmed that something had changed. When the necromancer walked past him again, he bid her good night and continued his whittling.

Sonny's theme for non-serious battles: Sonny's theme for serious things:

Sonny grinned at the question, shaking his head slightly. This young Trainer was actually taking an interest in his teaching. "Well, I'm no expert on healing magic, but I know for a fact that the answer is yes. Something to do with the empathy link required for a magical channel to be opened between two people. You should ask your healing teacher. She'll know more than I will."

Sonny looked over to the source of the voice, then smiled and nodded. "Of course you may. What would you like to know?"

Two things: 1) Absol-Lutely, class is over. If you have something to ask Sonny, just walk up to him. 2) Murdoc, please post Sarcus and Max's teams below.

Sonny crossed his arms and looked seriously at Maximus. "You heard me. Detention. I'm not going to argue with you about this. It's an hour out of your day after school, so it's not like it's going to throw off your schedule." He pet Nemea again, this time causing her to roll onto her back with her paws flailing in the air in her sleep. "You and Sarcus have some issues that need working out. And you'd better curb that Arcanine's behavior before he jumps someone for looking at you funny." Sonny took a step toward the Arcanine and growled, staring harshly into Tiberius's eyes.

Sonny watched the interaction between the two students with a bemused smile on his face. These two had been butting heads for awhile, if personal insults were any judge of how long one person has known another. He let them argue for a few moments, not wanting to break it up before each felt that he had satisfactorily injured the other's feelings. After all, they would probably be right back at it once school was over. Finally, he decided to intervene. "Hey, hey, hey. Boys, you two clearly have issues that need working out. Ordinarily I'd suggest a battle, but the two of you clearly have previous issues with one another. Meet me in the Battle Gymnasium immediately after classes are over today. You both have detention." Sonny said sternly, putting on his best "mean teacher" face while suppressing a smile.
