MUSIC

    Mack the Sharpedo carved through the water, carrying Zac to parts unknown. They were headed out past Mossdeep and into the great blue ocean beyond in search of treasure, but as Sharpedo shot through the water Zac saw something odd. A familiar wispy figure sat astride a Lapras, beckoning him dramatically. "What in the heck-Mack! Head on over there!" Zac said, and he patted the shark's left side. Sharpedo curved towards the figure on the Lapras. As they approached Zac became more and more certain that he knew who was waiting. 
    "Hey Chryssa," Zac said, quizzically as he closed in on his co-dating coach. 
    Mack slowed down, and drifted the last few feet, bringing the four of them together. Zac jumped off into the shallows that surrounded a pristine sandbar, complete with creeping ocean grasses and a bobbing palm tree. 
    "Watcha doin? Just hanging out in the vast, unmapped ocean waiting for me, huh?"

"A mere coincidence, Zachary Rabarbaracle," Chryssa called back arrogantly, pulling up next to the half-swimming man like a pirate vessel preparing to open cannon fire. "I was scouring these seas myself for unfortunates, and unfortunately for you it seems I've dredged one up."

A flash of white light, and a Pokemon plopped into the water. He floated awkwardly, his round head bobbing like a buoy just above the surface with his stubby wings cupped to keep him afloat. He seemed mortified.

"Defend yourself from my minion if you can!" Chryssa called, pointing directly at Zac. "Attack with Leafage, Iver!" Still floating, looking embarrassed at his predicament, the bird sculled his wings in the water. A cloud of greenery formed around him, which then pelted towards the enemy.


0/3

298Tr9tk
LEAFAGE (DAMAGE)

Rowlet used Leafage!
Rowlet took no second action
(cannot attack twice on first turn)


MECHANICS (TESTING)
You have 2 actions per post: Damage, Status, Buff, Dodge, Heal
The Pokemon must have applicable moves to support these actions.

Dodge includes using defense or evasion moves to weaken/endure an attack, essentially rendering it ineffective.

Buff and Status will give you +10 or your opponent -10 to your/their next roll, depending on the attribute selected. 

If you attempt a Damage or Status attack, please roll.
*You cannot make two Damage attacks on your first turn.

1-9: Your attack can be dodged as a free action. Your opponent can still use both their full actions afterwards.
10-49: Your attack can be dodged as a single action. Your opponent can still use one action afterwards.
50-89: Your attack can only be dodged as a full-round action (using both actions). Otherwise, it hits.
90-100: Your attack automatically succeeds and cannot be dodged or weakened.

If you attempt to Heal, please roll on this table instead.

1-9: The heal is interrupted or fails.
10-49: You heal 1, but lose one action next turn (or choose to fail)
50-89: You heal 1 successfully.
90-100: You heal 2.

After a Pokémon has been successfully Damaged 3 times, they will faint. Switching a Pokemon out does not reset this total.



SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Abilities: The effect of Pokemon abilities will be defined and agreed upon by both parties before the battle.

Last Stand: In a final showdown (both trainers on their last Pokemon where the next successful hit will decide the match) a player may choose to initiate their Last Stand and make a special Counterattack directly vs their opponent's winning attack. The higher total roll will take priority and win the standoff. Initiating a Last Stand will immediately end the battle upon resolution, but both Pokemon will faint.

MUSIC

    "Bah! Chryssa what the heck!" Zac shouted, spitting out leaves. "Okay, you know what? Fine." He threw out a pokeball, which bobbed under the water and released a vivid blue amphibian. Mudkip surfaced, his head fin pointing up like a rounded sail and his eyes wide and slightly crossed. <Kip?> 
    "Attack that bloody bird!" Zac said,  and Mudkip paddled swiftly towards the owl. His mouth chomped at the water in front of him like a bright-blue Pacman, and he bit into some of the Leafage in his haste to reach his opponent. 
<Kiiiiip!> he gurgled. Zac put a broad hand over his face. 

Closer to his target, Kip opened his mouth, and a dense jet of water shot at the owl.

Chryssa laughed merrily at the sight of Zach being hit with flying foliage. She stopped a moment later when a Hydro Pump attack came shooting straight past her startled Rowlet and sprayed across Ness's shell instead, showering Chryssa in dirty Mudkip water. She sputtered indignantly. 

"Outrageous! I won't stand for this. Use Shadow Sn--" But a tubular wave of water was rising up, and Chryssa had to sit back and grip her Lapras's shell tightly as a foaming crest crashed down on Iver, burying him beneath the surface.

Fortunately, the shadow of the breaking wave had given the owlet just what he needed to attack. The darkness on the water lashed out at Mudkip as the buoyant round bird surfaced again, gasping for air indignantly. From Zac's shadow, a second thread of sneaky shadow tried to come around and catch the amphibian in a pincer attack.

    Zac laughed as Chryssa was splashed by the filthy 'kip juice. "Hahahah-HURK!" He stopped to spit up a leaf. "Bleugh!"
    Down in the water, Mudkip was dealing with a similar problem, an attack coming from the shadows. The amphibian was paddling in a circle looking for the missing owl, when two dark shapes streaked towards him across the water. One came from the still crashing wave, and one from Zac himself. 
    "Dive Kip!" Zac called, and the water-type plunged under the water. and Zac's shadow passed over him Unfortunately, he surfaced a moment later, and was hit by the attack coming from the wave. <Kiiiip!> cried the little Pokemon, and Zac saw the water around him start to spin and eddy. 
The tumbling wave faded, and the bedraggled owl bobbed into view. "There he is! Wash him out to sea Kip!"

Iver swirled around and around in the torrent surrounding Mudkip, feeling sick. He'd swallowed some seawater earlier when the last Surf had hit him, and now he was getting spun around so fast he felt like he was going to faint. Still, he believed in himself too much for that.

So as the second Surf crashed towards him, threatening to wash him out to sea, he closed his eyes, clamping his wings close to his body. His heartbeat slowed. He took a deep breath. And he used Rest.

"I can't believe you drowned my innocent Rowlet, Zac Robbery," Chryssa was saying, shaking her head, when a dark flicker from underwater shot towards the Mudkip. Now quite far away, the resting Rowlet was now floating on his back, eyes closed to the world. He seemed to be using Shadow Sneak in his sleep.

MUSIC

    The third and final shadow cut through the shallows and hits Mudkip, who lets out a weak <Kiiiip> and fainted. "That was a great try buddy. We'll have to practice that aim later," Zac said, returning him. The trainer sent out his next Pokemon, a little turtle who looked out at the world with clear, inquisitive eyes.
    "He's over there!" Zac said, pointing in the direction the attack had come. "No idea how he's attacking from underwater, but it should be an easy KO. Go get 'em Megs!"

    The turtle nodded once, fast, and shot off through the water. It was infinitely more capable than the padding Mudkip had been, and it closed in on the sunken bird with predatory instinct.

A descending, whistling sound came as Iver came sailing back down from the sky like a living baseball having just been clonked by an aqua tail bat. Upon finding him in the water, the Squirtle had slapped him so hard that his eyes snapped open midair and wakefulness rushed back to him.

He opened his wings. He'd been floating in the water so long like an oversized floatie toy he'd forgotten he actually could fly. <Roooooooo!> he cooed, zooming out of the way as the Squirtle tried to clamp its deadly jaws around his rotund form. Not today, Satan! 

"There you are, Iver!" Chryssa cried, exuberant to see her holiday gift hadn't been lost beneath the waves. A vibrant green aura was flickering around the Pokemon, signaling the start of his Overgrow. "Leaf Blade! Show Zac our true power, my samurai of the sky!"

The green pinions of his wings extended to form a blade of grass and Iver dove determinedly towards the Squirtle, speeding close to the water with his Leaf Blade drawn.

MUSIC

The Leaf Blade split the water ahead of Megs as she darted through the waves. Her momentum sent her crashing into the attack, and she tumbled along the sandy bottom before righting herself. Her amphibian eyes peered up through the crystal waters, spotting the Rowlet flying above, and Megs shot a lungful of water at the soaring enemy, attempting to strike it out of the air with a ripping WATER PULSE (Damage).

Then it was time for defence. The turtle swam off into deeper water, away from the island, and withdrew into her shell. In the deep, she prepared, coiling tighter like a spring as she readied a SKULL BASH (dodge).

Iver felt his Leaf Blade connect with the Squirtle in a satisfying slice and he crowed his victory, wheeling around for another pass with the glowing weapon. All his awkwardness was forgotten. He felt afire, powerful, Overgrow singing in his blood. Nothing could--

A bubble of Water Pulse shot him out of the air like a military round and the Rowlet fainted, landing in the sea with a splash. Chryssa recalled him with a sigh, reflecting that he'd actually done quite well. Did Doug actually give me a good Pokemon? she wondered, hardly willing to believe it.

"This one should look a little familiar," she said instead to Zac. "Go, Nathara, my Serpent's Fang!" A Snivy burst from the ball she threw, dipping into the water without even a splash as the slender snake undulated effortlessly through the water.  "Use Growth!" Chryssa commanded and the Snivy lengthened, the leaves on her neck and tail stretching and billowing as her form became even more serpentine. 

Nathara could see her opponent down at the bottom, hiding inside her shell. Well, that wouldn't protect her for long. Beads of green-colored light showered from her grass-enhanced body, swirling towards the sea creature with the intent of draining her life force away.

    Chryssa's Snivy sucked greedily at the water with its Mega Drain, but only succeeded in pulling a stream of water that gently buffeted the little snake. Megs shell blocked the parasitic attack, and as the attack faded Megs burst into action, pushing up from the sea floor in a surge of potential energy. 
    She shot up through the water, gaining speed with her swishing tail as she sought to crash right into the little serpent on the surface.

"Awfully quiet, Zac Ramshackle," Chryssa said mockingly, wide-eyed. "Are we planning a strategy, or still trying to catch up to the moment little Mudkip went belly-up?" She tilted her head to the side innocently. 

Nathara barely made it out of the way in time as the Squirtle kicked off suddenly from the sandy bottom, shooting towards her with shocking speed. She whipped her body out of the way, the Skull Bash brushing past her tail with terrifying force. An Aqua Tail was right behind it, but here was an opportunity. 

Quick as a flash, instead of trying to move her sinuous body out of the way, Nathara let the tail hit her and rode the swirling water, coiling her entire body around the Squirtle's tail. She clung there, tightening her coils reflexively as she struggled to bind the turtle completely. Could she wrap all the way around the Squirtle's neck?

    "Shut up Chryssa Assclown!" Zac shot back. He was so sick of her taunting. Sick because she was right. He was trying to think, and he was NOT very good at it. "Megs! Uh, withdraw! Don't let that snake get a grip on you!"
    Squirtle pulled back into her shell, managing to disentangle from the vines before that got a deathly hold. Inside, she pulled down as tight as could be, her sealed shell sinking to the bottom.

"Assclown!" Chryssa said, putting a hand over her mouth in shock at Zac's rough language. "You can't call me that-- I'm a minor!" She dropped into the lilting, drawling southern belle accent she'd first met Zac using. "And a woman! Sob!"

Despite her attempts to wrap the Squirtle completely, there was nothing for her to wrap around except the ironclad shell. The turtle had retreated inside and they were sinking deep beneath the water-- deeper than she, a strong swimmer but still an air-breathing one-- could stand.

The Snivy was forced to let go-- but not before trying to plant a
LEECH SEED inside the turtle's shell. She swam towards the surface, hoping the turtle wouldn't notice she'd let go from within her sinking bunker. By the time her opponent realized the Leech Seed was there, it would be too late.

    "If you're a miner then where's your hat!" Zac shot back, hoping to distract Chryssa long enough for her to stop fake crying. Squirtle was doing great so far. Much better than Mudkip had anyway.
    Squirtle felt Snivy moving, wriggling around outside her shell. She pushed out, making her shell glimmer with protection, and the barely-sprouted Leech Seeds fell into the water. Unfortunately, plants love water, and a thin stream of energy seeped towards Snivy.
    Zac called out to her, hoping to cheer the little turtle to victory. "That's it Megs! Now give her the knockout nod!"
    She heard Zac's encouragement, and suddenly popped out of her shell, hoping to surprise the slippery serpent with a crushing headbutt!
