Battlefield of Ymora! [IC]

[Felicity]

Ladies aaaaaand Gentlemen!

Let's get ready to Rrrrrrrrumble!

This is the Battle topic for Ymora. When a lot of battles are happening simultaneously or in quick succession, a single IC can get messy and hard to follow. Our solution is to run the battles in another thread, this one, to make sure battles happen ahead of time to be depicted in the normal IC without stalling for god knows how long.

Basically, if a situation calls for multiple battles, the battles will be announced and started in here by myself or Chim for you guys to duke it out. Same thing for friendly battles, should you wish to try one.

Rules are:

-Standard RP rules, no bunnying, metaing or auto hits (assuming the attack landed)

-Label your fights. Makes it easier to sort through.

-Only battles are to be posted here. Any other scenes happen in the normal IC.

"Let's get this started." James muttered as Gaster started floating onto the battlefield proper. No need to delay it with unnecessary talking, not much of that to be had this early into the year. Looking towards the other side, he saw the Mawile Maya had obtained just a few minutes prior. Small stature and cute appearance were deceiving as the fairy sported a menacing set of jaws on the back of it's head, it should probably have a biting move of some kind to compliment that.

While James was thinking about what to do, Gaster had already started staring at the Mawile with it's single ominous scarlet red eye hidden under a skull-like mask. The Mawile was intriguing, it stood there with it's back turned towards him and large jaws open towards it. It's stance would be mocking if not for the gaping maw that were the defining feature of the Deceiver pokemon.

"Start us off with a Night Shade." There it was, the command it was waiting for, the one to begin the fight. A black beam of darkness outlined in red was fired out of the Duskull's single eye towards the Mawile.

Maya v James

Titania recoiled as she slid back a bit as the beam made land fall, gritting her teeth. Even if the user- and therefore the move itself -wasn't that powerful at this current point, it had still stung. meanwhile, Maya's expression did not change. Neither did Folie's, as the panda sat cross legged behind the action. The mawile gnashed her fangs at the wraith's general direction, glaring at Maya...

"Astonish." the girl ordered simply. With a single nod the Fae Queen opened her jaws wide, crimson waves of force beginning to burst through the air along with a blood curdling scream more fit to rumble out of the throat of a murder victim than such a small creature, blasting through the still tranquility of the field and surging right towards the phantom...

There was something... off about the shout though... it was faster than it should've been, louder too. More forceful...almost as if amplified by something...

[Azeria]

Maya vs James

The crimson waves struck Gaster, the attack far too fast to be able to dodge as the scream caught the Duskull unaware, leaving it completely vulnerable to the attack. The Duskull only cackled through the pain however as it floated a bit closer to the ground than it had before due to the Astonish attack. The deceiver had decided to use a move of it's own element, it felt the ghastly energy even if it was extremely diluted and weak it was still there. All it'd have to do is a little trick with it's eye...and it would be something it wouldn't have to deal with for a good while.

The Duskull's eye started flashing from scarlet red to an icy blue colour, all it took was a sidewards glance towards James for the trainer to recognize the same move that the specter had performed on him not even 10 minutes earlier. "Disable." James nodded towards the ghost. The Duskull's eyes flashed towards the Icy blue once more before staying that color as all color seemed to fade from it's line of sight. A spectral purple sphere appeared out of nowhere around the Mawile's body, attempting to lock the Mawile's Astonish away.

[Sutoratosu]

Maya v James

Quiet. That was all that hung on the air as the sphere faded. Gentle, serene quiet. The Mawile finally shut it's yapping maw, bound by the strange trickery of the wraith as Maya looked on. Something that might've almost qualified as a smirk tucked at the corner of her lips, despite the obvious frustration of the steel type...

"Such a waste..." She said. Titania threw the most questioning look she'd given yet; the only answer she got was the girl's next order. "Bite it." Whatever she had planned... looked like the Fae would simply have to trust her for now... Without a moment of hesitation the mawile turned and dashed for the Wraith at full speed, eyes fixing on the ghost- Feinting hard to the right just as she closed the last of the distance between them and pushing up off the ground with a single jump before turning in midair -the pearly whites of her fangs were born against her foeman, jaws descending along with their owner right towards the ghost, her teeth burning with an ethereal, near unnatural black light..

A light that burned even brighter as the same strange power from before came into effect...

[Azeria]

Maya vs James

Just as expected, the Mawile had Bite. Dark type moves generally had similar properties to ghost type moves but where much more grounded in reality than the otherwordly energy that went into ghost type moves. Disabling again wouldn't be possible, it would take too much energy out of Ghaster and the already existing lock would block the new one from being added. "Dodge with Feint Attack and keep away from it." James shouted out towards the Duskull, it would be far too dangerous to let the Deceiver pokemon get close up. It'd only revealed two moves and both of them were very effective on Ghaster.

The Duskull floated back before it's body was enveloped in the same pitch black light as the Mawile's teeth were and it feinted towards it's left before rushing right and seemingly vanishing into thin air and re-appearing further away from the Mawile. Closer than I thought it would be, even with Feint Attack, Ghaster is far too slow to try to avoid attacks like those continuously.

[Sutoratosu]

Maya v James

Titania snapped at thin air just as the little revenant vanished from the spot, gazing about the field only to find the thing had somehow teleported. The fairy gave a snarl in annoyance as her back jaws again gnashed, predatory crimson eyes glaring at the otherworldly figure like twin fires in the night. The seed of a smile on Maya's face only began to bloom however.

"That dodge was a little close, wasn't it?" This was it... already, the Control was shifting. If she could just nudge the scales a bit more... "Running away, I see... oh well. Titania, use Sweet Scent with Fairy Wind."

Wait, what? What was she...? Forget it, Titania had no time to waste gawking at the strange combinations that came out of the girl's mouth. She again snapped her jaws as she pulled her arms in close. A honied, powerful scent began permeate the very air itself, lavender vapors spreading out from Titania like a soothing, forbidden cloud of opium, scent so intriguingly pleasing that it was probably liable to make just about anything stop and enjoy it...

And the next moment, she thrust outwards with the limbs, and that same, distractedly pleasant scent began to surge towards Gaster in full force, caught in the shining windstorm conjured up by the Fae, surging towards the ghost type in a spiraling frenzied haze of vapor and sparkling glints of light. It was something of beauty to be honest... such a spectacle, such fragrance and majesty... perhaps it'd be better appreciated on the floor of a contest hall.

But Maya had a feeling the idea could do just as fine out here on the battlefield too...

"Go on, try to dodge now... not so easy with that intoxicating aroma there, now is it?"

[Azeria]

Maya vs James

Trying to distract it with the Sweet Scent ..huh? Interesting...

Ghaster didn't have many options against the Sweet Scent and Fairy Wind combo, Haze would be blown away without much effort and the other attacks would have a hard time even being summoned. Dodging was not an option either with Sweet Scent keeping it partly distracted. The attack wasn't avoidable, at the range it was from Ghaster when being fired at least.

The Duskull was in a daze, the sweet scent kept it distracted from being able to move or even notice the incoming windstorm and it was hit by the attack as a result of that and it got thrown backwards. The attack felt far too benign for it's liking, not the winds of it's preference...those felt far, far more vile, they were almost soothing to it but absolutely putrid to others.

"Being on the defensive isn't doing us much good, blast it with another Night Shade, start building up an Ominous Wind afterwards." James ordered, dodging wasn't going to be much of an option and Disable was out of the question until the lock on Astonish wore off. Another beam of darkness was fired, while the ray was making it's way towards the Deceiver Pokemon, sickly purple winds started gathering around the Duskull, it felt it's presence within the repulsive winds as they swirled around the specter.

[Sutoratosu]

Maya v James

Again, Titania felt the chilling sting of the ghastly ray of night send her back as she brought up her arms to defend herself at the last minute; looked like this one had a bit more oomph behind it than the last... Almost by reflex, she went to open her jaw and let out another scream, only to find not a single note of sound produced as the lock held firm. Whatever vile bit of black magic that specter had done to her, it was still sticking around for a bit longer, it seemed.

Another sweet scent would be pointless with that wind up. And there was no point in putting up Misty Terrain; if he had any status moves, the guy would've used them by now. She could see it though, him trying to push this back from the brink... yeah, no. She wasn't about to sit back and let it all reverse... but fine. "Titania," She called out to the fae. "Repeat fairy wind... and prepare your last attack."

Last Attack, eh? Well, the only offensive move she hadn't used so far was... oh... that one. With only a single snarl, the Mawile again thrust out with both hands, the same shining, glittering gale storm as before blasting forth towards Gaster and the phantom's own little wind storm with a surging howl as it neared...

And all the while, Titania's form burned with a subtle glow of silver as she scowled at the ghost... so subtle infact that it was probably barely noticeable to anyone but herself or to Maya. "Good... it's charged..."

[Azeria]

Maya vs James

The Fairy Wind came again for another round, however this time, the Duskull could fight back with it's own vile winds and it did. Gaster cackled once more and thrust forward a good amount of the repulsive attack that had surrounded it and it rushed forwards to meet the glittering windstorm while slowly, much slower than before, more of the putrid wind started to surround Gaster to regain the amount that was lost in the Ominous Wind attack. They weren't going to leave themselves vulnerable to another one of those bite attacks.

Perhaps leaving Disable until later would've been the better idea, it was one of the better moves Gaster had at it's disposal currently, however the removal of Astonish was a godsend. The climax of the fight shouldn't be too far off anyways.

[Sutoratosu]

Maya v James

"Just as I thought you'd do... that's right... time for the trump card" "Titania, now!" Called Maya as soon as the phantom countered the Fae embued winds. This was the moment she'd been building towards, the trap she'd laid... even if they didn't even know they'd just walked right into it. From the minute those two had wasted Disable on Titania's Astonish, all to way to right now.

Not even a full second passed before the girl gave the order and the Steel type reacted, the gentle, subtle glow around her suddenly erupted into a full force aura of metallic silver, resonating with streaks of white as she took a single step and then surged forward like a bullet, letting the very power surrounding her push her forward as she flew across the field. Yet again, whatever mysterious power the Fairy held within her seemed to become active, the aura burning with even greater intensity and sending her even farther, faster, harder; like a star fallen from the heavens- a mere blurred, silver streak arcing across the field...

and heading right for the paranormal entity named Gaster as it tried to regroup it's befouled, vile winds...

[Azeria]

Maya vs James

Iron Head, it had Iron Head all along....at the momentum it was going at currently, Gaster wouldn't have enough of the Ominous Winds to stop it, dodging would only leave the specter open to another Bite attack. The ghost attempted it anyways, thrusting forward another storm of the repulsive wind attack, though much weaker as it didn't have enough of it saved up. It was no use however as the Mawile just ran through the attack thanks to the strangely intense power that ran through it's body, far too much for a normal iron head. The Mawile slammed into Gaster at full force sending the Duskull flying backwards.

It was over, the Duskull was far too weak to fight much longer now and even then, it wouldn't put up a fight. "Ah, well that was fun. Good match." James started walking over to where Gaster fell down onto the Battlefield after being hit by the Iron Head attack with a potion in his right hand. Leaving the phantom injured wouldn't do much good after all.

Kenny vs Robert

Eevee(Sylvia) vs Espurr(Izzy)

Moveset Eevee:

-Swift -Tackle -Quick Attack -

-Baby-Doll Eyes -Helping Hand

Moveset Espurr:

-Scratch -Covet -Confusion

-Leer -Yawn

"And same to you Kenny." Robert took is place on the other side of the field, with Espurr hoping out of his arms and walking onto the field. She felt ready to battle with the opposing Eevee, though her species' usual stoic face didn't really show much any emotion unless you counted 'focused' as one. Kiai followed suit and jumping off of Robert's shoulder so to not hinder the battle as he watched from the sidelines "Okay, we're ready. You can go ahead and take the first move if you want."

Johnny VS. Robert

Johnny nodded, smiling.

"Don't mind if I do."

((OOC: Here's some Battle Music.))

He then gave Sylvia a command.

"Sylvia, Quick Attack!"

In response, she sped towards Izzy, a white trail following her through the air.

[Aurorix]

Wolt vs Citrine
Eevee vs Rotom
Moveset Eevee:
-Tackle -Swift -Bite -Quick Attack
-Baby-Doll Eyes -Tickle
Moveset Rotom:
-Astonish -Thundershock
-Thunder Wave -Charge

Some music if ya want it:

"Alright Athena, ready to go?" Wolt ask to the Eevee who proceeded to give an affirming cry before leaping off of his shoulder onto the battle field. Almost all of Athena's attacks were useless against a ghost type, this was going to be... interesting to say the least. Then he had an idea that just might work if everyone goes right. "Now Athena, walk to the center of the field and show our friends your cute Baby-Doll Eyes." Athena shyly walks up into the center of the field showing Techie her now sparkling eyes and blushing face, giving them an adorable sight to behold. "Isn't she so adorable? We're fighting but she does nothing but give you a friendly stare. Who would attack such an innocent creature?" Wolt said baby talking to the Eevee in the middle of the field.

[TurboAura]

Johnny vs Robert

"Izzy, stand your ground and Scratch it back!" The little Espurr took a step back, paw glowing white as the Eevee ran towards it. And as it felt the Eevee get close, swipped it's glowing 'claw' down towards the normal type.

[K_H]

Johnny vs Robert

Sylvia saw the Scratch coming, and decided to throw her own flair into the mix by purposefully missing so that she could quite literally run circles around Izzy, causing herself to dodge the Scratch in the process. Johnny was surprised by this, and whispered to himself under his own breath.

"Clever girl. That was quite inventive."

Johnny then spoke to Sylvia.

"All right, Sylvia, back to this side and then use Baby-doll eyes!"

Sylvia responded by speeding back to her Trainer's side of the field before stopping, turning around to face her opponent, and then staring cutely at Izzy, eyes shining.

[TurboAura]

Johnny vs Robert

Izzy was confused at how the Eevee not only avoided her head on attack, but didn't follow through with her own. She wasn't sure if the choice was good or bad, but it worked. Looking at where the Eevee was now, she saw the cutesy eyes, her own purple eyes showing a bit of regret.

"Izzy, show them your own looks and Leer." Robert said confidently, watching the field and hoping his voice didn't come out as muc commanding as it did to a friendly request for her.

While still a bit regretful she shook herself to attention, eyes glowing as she starred daggers at the Eevee.

Johnny vs Robert

Sylvia was caught off-guard by the leer, but she wasn't too phased by it. Johnny then gave a smirk, and then spoke.

"Sylvia, how about a fighting response to that? I'd appreciate it if you could Tackle her, if you wouldn't mind."

Sylvia nodded and then charged towards Izzy, not aiming directly at the Espurr, but instead aiming slightly to the side, preparing to run past the Psychic Type before attempting to hit it from behind.

[TurboAura]

Johnny vs Robert

"Izzy, prepare to Scratch it back!" The Espurr didn't need to respond before charging up the white claw again, trying to keep an eye on the target but it's evasive tactics making it difficult to keep track of and prepare a counter attack.

Johnny vs Robert

Sylvia crashed into Izzy from behind the Espurr, but was hit by the Scratch as she returned to her Trainer's half of the field. At this, she got more than a little upset, and decided to move on her own. However, Johnny quickly put a stop to that.

"Sylvia, stay calm, that was par for the course. You might get hit some, but so does your opponent."

perhaps it's time to bust out the final move... no, not yet. one more turn...

"Sylvia, repeat the move, please."

At this, Sylvia sped towards Izzy, this time heading directly at the Espurr.

[TurboAura]

Johnny vs Robert

"Izzy, can you get up?" Though worried about her Izzy still got up, still ready to fight as Slyvia was running in for another attack. It was plain to see that the Eevee had the advantage at close-range... So perhaps the key was to try to get some distancing up. "Izzy, use Confusion at Sylvia." With a nod Espurr lifted it's ears just a bit, eyes glowing lightly as it launched a Psychic wave forward.

[K_H]

Johnny vs Robert

Johnny noticed the Psychic Wave, and acted quickly.

"Sylvia, call off the current attack, and counter Izzy with Swift!"

Sylvia came to a screeching halt, and then jumped into the air and swished her tail, leaving a yellow trail in the air. Star-shaped projectiles then appeared from the trail and sped around the Psychic Wave, homing in on Izzy. In the meantime, Sylvia had been hit by the Wave, and had been knocked back onto her Trainer's side of the Field, still on her paws. She seemed to be a bit tired, though, and Johnny noticed that she was tired.

[TurboAura]

Johnny vs Robert

"Espurr-" Robert only had the time to call out, Espurr yelping as she was hit by the Stars before she'd be able to react, sliding back with her ears clenched. She was panting, still left standing. She felt she had one more hit in her, one more chance to turn around. "Espurr, are you-" Before he could finish she turned her head back and nodded, looking back at her opponent. "Okay... Espurr, try to finish it off with a Scratch!" She gave a slight grin as she heard the command, running to the Eevee with the glowing claw, ready to make the last stand.

[K_H]

Johnny vs Robert

Johnny and Sylvia both noticed Izzy running in for the final move, and both knew that it was time to finish the Battle. Johnny spoke to Sylvia.

"You know what to do, girl."

At this, Sylvia nodded, a grin on her face, and charged full tilt towards Izzy, preparing to tackle the espurr one final time.
