TSDT(R)

Crashing in style.

He didn't get an immediate response...

Ah well! He would just have to pray others would arrive in time to help.

"Lele— Let's go!" Doug said as he leapt off his Volcarona once again, it to its pokeball as he began a quick, inelegant descent towards the ground.

For a moment, it looked like he would eat shit and die— but his matron must've been in a good mood. So he found himself hovering meters off the ice instead, his head snapping towards Tapu Lele with a grin as he raised the Z-crystal around his arm.

"Thanks love— glad to see you haven't given up on me." He said, before pointing at the rift above the dragon...

---

TL;DR:
-Doug and Tapu Lele plot deviously...

VCT

Vs Tempest Quinn

Hmm... He looked more like a Norman if you asked him!

"Pleasure's all mine, Davey!" He replied cheerfully, totally not staring while he deepthroated his corndog. "And yeah; that would be me."

He half turned away from the other youth before gesturing with his neck for him to follow, leading him to the nearest arena. These tourneys really put into perspective how much of the zeitgeist revolved around pokemon battling... You couldn't take two steps without running into an arena!

"Ready to begin?" He asked the other youth from his end of the field, before whistling sharply to Kama.

Her eyes opened sharply, and she stepped forward and into the battlefield.

She. Fucking. Had this.

"Ready... Go!"

Immediately Kama lunged forward, racing towards her opponent— before suddenly leaping high in the air and swinging her scythes, an unseen explosion sending walls of wind hurtling towards the Eevee.

TL;DR:
Kama used Vacuum Wave!

VCT

Vs Roy Aker

Caught off guard by the dragon's surprisingly swift response, the bug was launched back, her scythes coming down to stab themselves onto the soil as she flew away.

Grinding to a halt, her body briefly twitched and trembled as paralysis kicked in, making its grind its teeth.

Doug pursed his lips. That wasn't looking good... Kama already had a big type disadvantage here...

Best fix that quick then!

Without any shame, Doug immediately pulled out the Dynamax, retrieving Kama into her pokeball before making it increase to massive size— and releasing her back into the field, the unfortunate status now gone.

With a hiss that became a roar due to sheer size, Kama took a swipe downwards, her claws scrapping against soil.

TL;DR:
-Doug is using Dynamax!
-Kama used Fury Cutter!

3/4 HP

VCT

Vs Raziel Beckett

Having managed to even the scales, Kama wasn't looking to lose get thrown on the backfoot once again just yet, throwing herself into a dodge roll to evade the Riolu's vacuum waves.

Her scythes seemed to vibrate in response as she suddenly jabbed at the very air before here, launching walls of wind towards her opponent with her own vacuum waves.

---

TL;DR:
-Kama used Vacuum Wave!

Crashing in style.

The comms suggest the situation isn't quite unsalvageable down there just yet. Good... hopefully, they can handle themselves for a bit longer.

"Lele." He whispers. He doesn't see her, but he can feel her response in the back of his head, like a whisper. "Oh good, you haven't bailed yet."

He and his Volcarona almost get thrown off course seemingly by the wind at that, but he can only laugh it off.

"Stop being petty and come on out already— I need your help with this one...!" He said, narrowing his eyes as a bulky silhouette fast approaching.

He's locked in on the djinn.

"Sullivan speaking." He calls out over the comms. "I'm closing in on Hoopa. Who's nearby?"

---

TL;DR:
-Volcarona used Quiver Dance.

Crashing in style.

"Everything's going crazy down there." He mumbled to himself as he flew over the battlefield atop his Volcarona once more.

There were paradox versions of the swords of justice as far as the eye could see... it was genuinely worrying; Paradox pokemon tended to be strong as it was; would alternatives of legendary pokemon be even worse?

The Walking Wake had certainly been a menace...

"Fiery Dance." Doug ordered with a frown, patting his Volcarona's side.

She released a low croon, before her searing scales began to rain down unto the robots below, burning away at machinery as they made a beeline for the djinn.

---

TL;DR:
-Volcarona used Fiery Dance.

TSDT(R)

Crashing in style.

Doug was thrown high in the air, his stomach doing flips as he gazed over the battlefield.

"Her temper's as nasty as her personality." He grumbled as he continued to rise, realizing that his ascent was beginning to slow down.

This wasn't too bad a spot to be in— He could see everything go down in HD from up there.

"!!!" There it was!

He narrowed his eyes at the Djinn, before the feeling of rushing air brought his attention back to his circumstances— and the fast approaching mass of ice as he began to plummet.

"Right." He muttered, palming a net ball.

---

TL;DR:
-Dawg gets chucked high in the air, sees everything go down, I totally didn't forget to post consistently here.
-grabs a ball, prepares to go chase the djinn.

VCT

Vs Tempest Quinn

"Huh." Doug mumbled from his end of the field, rubbing his chin whilst cocking his head. "Does he look familiar to you?"

No. Shut up, she was focusing here.

"No, really, this feels familiar, right...?"

Shut up.

"Okay, fine. Be like that."

Kama couldn't really speak or communicate in such a way, but Doug's vibe checking with his bugs was immaculate.

Ignoring his temperamental partner, Doug raised his arm from the other end of the field, smiling brightly at their opponent.

"Oi, I'm John! Pleasure to meet'cha, man! Let's have a good one!"

---

TL;DR:
Hi Temp suspiciously familiar person!

VCT

Vs noah faber

"There's a sight for sore eyes!" Doug shouted from across the battlefield as he reached his end, grinning wide. "How've ya been, man?"

He hadn't been to Noah's gym in a bit of a while... and it kinda showed. He had never been big, big, but he had gotten pretty buff for a while there...

Unfortunately, it seemed his body tended towards lankiness if left alone. Ah well, surely Noah would not comment on it... much.

"Been a while since we've battled, hasn't it?" He asked the other man as Kama stepped up to the platter, eyes focused.

She wasn't losing again, damn it. SHE WAS GETTING HER LICKBACK ON THIS WHOLE TOURNAMENT!

"Let's fix that!"

---

TL;DR:
Hi Noah!

VCT

Vs Noel Parker

The battle ended; for once, it had gone well for them, though their opponent had not made it easy on them.

"Thank you for the match." He said to the other young man after having returned an ecstatic Kama to her pokeball, smiling at Noel. "Maybe we can do this again sometime."

---

TL;DR:Thanks for the match Ryan.

VCT

Vs Raziel Beckett

Kama's head rocked back from the counter, knees buckling briefly before she stopped herself short of losing consciousness.

Shaking her head sharply, the bug swallowed down a grunt before leaping away from the Riolu, taking a step back before lunging forward once again, leaping over the puppy as she neared before striking towards him from above.

---

TL;DR:
-Kama used Acrobatics!

VCT

VS Eris Halla

Caught blowing a raspberry in 4k.

"Oh no. My nonexistent street cred!" He quipped sarcastically, before turning his attention back to the battle, noticing how Kama was struggling.

Man, those Sygna suits had been really working hard this tourney!

"You good?" He called out casually, to which the floundering bug hissed, looking on her last legs. He snorted. "Sure you are."

At this rate the fight was over for her... but she looked so eager...

Oh, fine.

"Hoo, that's big." He muttered as the ball finished growing, before releasing a... still tired, wobbly looking, but much, much bigger Kama.

---

TL;DR:
-Kama dynamaxed. She stomps around on uncertain feet!

1/4hp

VCT

Vs Roy Aker

Man of few words.

"Then let's begin." Doug said, swiping his arm through the air. "Mind the fire and get in there, Kama."

Raising her gaze to her opponent, the scyther hissed before launching forward into a mad dash. Its feet tore the soil out with each stomp, covering the distance between herself and the dragon in an instant before suddenly ducking to the side and attempting to strike at its thigh.

---

TL;DR:
Kama used Acrobatics.
