Ahhhhh shit.. (Ryan vs Yue)

At least Ryan managed to keep his powerhouse, but he'd lost half the team he knew in exchange for a Raichu he was already a bit skeptic about and.... a puffball. The guy he was facing-... Actually, he wasn't sure what to make of him. Half of him wanted to call the guy a pushover and the other half was terrified just looking at him. He tried to tell himself the nigh-albinism was just a little eerie, but it was definitely something in his expression... Ryan shook his head in a vague attempt to clear it, telling himself to concentrate on the battle. Well... Fae could probably do well enough against Kiowa, and the others wouldn't be hard.. but.. Well, it depended how this man battled. To test that, he decided to play it safe and do some scouting first, as such, the Blissey it was. Happy materialized to find herself facing Yue and... very nearly just outright teared up. She did her best to fight it, and she knew this could happen and she was just helping him out by agreeing with it and all that stuff, but.. ... Well.. He just.. And she was... But but but but but. ;3; ... Ryan just sweatdropped. [/scrolly]

Only after a lot of prodding from Kali did he finally join the competition. More than anything, the prizes had got to him. Free pokemon meant more to shadow which was a good thing, heh. However, with only Nika as his own pokemon due to the craziness of the Roulette, he wasn't sure how he wanted to do this. In exchange for Raira and Happy, he'd received a Scyther and a Rufflet neither of which had the move pool for his general strategy, damn it. Upon seeing Happy released, Yue smiled a bit and shook his head a little. "Now now Happy, it'll be alright," he called light trying to soothe the Blissey. Taking out the Scyther's pokeball, Yue released it before lightly crossing his arms in front of himself. [/scrolly]

Ryan meanwhile grimaced. Great, so he was facing Zevran.. Well, let's see what they could do.. On the bright side, having both his team's inexperienced members taken away meant they got free training if he lost, right? "Show 'im what ya've got, Zev," Ryan encouraged in turn. "Don' need me t'elp ya look good, right?" The Scyther smirked at this, preening himself vainly a bit. All right. So what could this thing do, then.. Eh... "Sweet Kiss," the redhead ordered. "And Thunderwave." He was certain an old friend's Chansey had known those moves. ...Though he could have been thinking of his Clefable.. Eh, they'd find out. [/scrolly]

However, when the attacks were ordered out, Yue was already on the defensive. "Safeguard and Sword Dance," he answered back with. Thankfully, he did in fact own a Scytehr and knew its move pool rather well. [/scrolly]

(So Jay and I are just going to take turns with this and double-check each other's math if we doubt it. Anyone have a problem with that? No? Good.)

The Scyther's superior speed set the Safeguard in Place, eliminating both of the Blissey's attacks before they started. The dance then raised its attack incredibly.

Happy the Blissey, F, Serene Grace, n/a: HP: 2143 ATK: 26 DEF: 25 SPA: 249 SPD: 275 SPE: 209

Zevran the Scyther, M, Technician, n/a, HP:Grs: [Safeguard: Turn 1/5] HP: 1032 ATK: 319 638 DEF: 166 SPA: 115 SPD: 165 SPE: 309

"Forgive me Happy~" Yue called lightly. "Scyther use Brick Break." [/scrolly]

Something about that nickname- or hearing the man say it, rather- really made him twitchy. What kind of... Oi vey. "Sunny Day and Fire Blast," he ordered. Assuming the Blissey even survived this, she'd only have one chance to hit most likely, so it may as well count. [/scrolly]

[Jay]

The Scyther was still by far the speedier and unleashed a Brick Break. The poor Blissey cried out from the pain and fainted on contact before she could even unleash her own move.

Happy the Blissey, F, Serene Grace, n/a: HP: 2143- 3091 = 0 ATK: 26 DEF: 25 SPA: 249 SPD: 275 SPE: 209

Zevran the Scyther, M, Technician, n/a, HP:Grs: [Safeguard: Turn 2/5] HP: 1032 ATK: 319 638 DEF: 166 SPA: 115 SPD: 165 SPE: 309

Well, this could have been a better start. He quickly forced himself to calm with a deep breath, though, and recalled the Blissey with a soft "Thanks for trying, Happy." No more fooling around then. "Let's get 'em Fae." As the Volcarona appeared, Zevran jumped a bit both in fear and due to his heart skipping a beat. Oh lord, he didn't even know.. This was his chance to prove himself to his trainers, his fans, and his queen... if he could pull it off.. But hot damn was it going to hurt and suck if he couldn't. Well, this new trai-... ._. actually this trainer looked super familiar now that he looked at him.. Zev was suddenly certain he knew him, but quickly shook this off to concentrate on the battle again. Whoever he was, he seemed to be doing a good job directing him. They'd see how it went. Fae, meanwhile, just blinked a bit as, after a slight delay, she recognized which Scyther was across the field from her. Oh look.. One of her minions. Ah, such a shame to have to wipe the floor with it... Well, at any rate, she could prove she was the superior being in the eyes of her little prince, just in case he'd been questioning that fact at all. "Fiery Dance," he ordered, and she was quick to comply. [/scrolly]

It was probably a combination of both the look on her face as she fainted and the fact that she used to give him such a look when she was scared as a Happiny. Despite his reasoning that it was a battle and that he had to focus to fight, it still ate at him somewhere in the back of his mind. Forcing himself to keep his smile, Yue sighed. "Sword Dance and Wing Attack," he ordered. [/scrolly]

[Prince Pony Age]

The Scyther was faster, and as such managed to get his Swords Dance in before Fae did much of anything. As she used Fiery Dance, he used Wing Attack; her body was extra-flamey and likely would have burned Zevran, if not for his Safeguard still in place.

Fae the Volcarona, Female, Flame Body, no item, Hidden Power: Ground: HP: 1122 - 834 = 288 ATK: 125 DEF: 135 SPA: 369 SPD: 216 SPE: 299

Zevran the Scyther, M, Technician, n/a, HP:Grs: [Safeguard: Turn 3/5] HP: 1032 - 397 = 635 ATK: 319 957 DEF: 166 SPA: 115 SPD: 165 SPE: 309

He didn't really care if the Scyther took a bit of damage. He was pretty sure the Volcarona took more. "Aerial Ace," he ordered. [/scrolly]

"...Protect and Fire Blast," he nervously spat out, praying that might have... some chance of helping slightly. Not that that would work twice or Kiowa would be able to fight Zev in this state even with the bit of help, but.. [/scrolly]
