[Who am i?]

Hello

[B-Wing]

Let's hold our horses, Saregona, and wait until daybreak, when we'll find out all the devious things that have gone on in the night.

[Who am i?]

Hello

I think we definately Seon lynch.

[thefluffyone93]

Hello

I think we definately Seon lynch.

EDIT: Unless night has officially ended, in which case I say a job well done!

[Chaotix]

Night has ended, but I'm still working on the write-up. It's a big one.

[Chaotix]

Night 2

As night fell, the trainers scattered themselves throughout the cave once again, each finding their own new safe places to stay. After Joy had related her tale of the night before to the rest of them, not a single trainer dared to sleep in the rooms provided near the arena.

Maxie was in a large, cavernous chamber covered mostly by an underground lake.

It appeared as if he were trying to make his Camerupt evaporate all of the water. Unfortunately, it did not occur to him that even if that were possible, the water vapor would have nowhere to go and condense right back into the lake again. Nonetheless, he was making a valiant effort.

He didn’t even notice when somebody threw a Pokeball with a loud splash into the water. That is, until a huge Gyarados burst up from under the surface.

“Well… that’s not good.”

VS

“Camerupt, use Eruption now!”

Camerupt roared, and the water underneath Gyarados began bubbling fiercely. A massive jet of lava spewed up from underneath the lake, striking Gyarados in the face. If possible, Gyarados looked even more enraged than it normally did.

“Gyarados! Use Hydro Pump!”

The mysterious trainer was shouting orders from the other side of the lake, and was obscured from Maxie’s view. Gyarados launched a huge torrent of water from its mouth, thoroughly dousing both Camerupt and its trainer. Maxie returned his fainted Camerupt as he rose to his feet, and tossed out another Pokemon to battle.

“Go! Cacturne!”

VS

The cactus Pokemon looked far more suited to take on Gyarados than Camerupt was. Gyarados was still raging, however, and did not look ready to quit any time soon.

“Use Pin Missile, Cacturne!”

Holding out its arms, Cacturne began firing a barrage of needles at Gyarados. Gyarados didn’t bother to dodge out of the way, but the needles couldn’t so much as scratch its thick hide. Instead, Gyarados was made more angry by the attack, and began recklessly attacking with Hydro Pump. Cacturne, luckily, was resistant to water-based attacks.

“Alright then… try Needle Arm!”

Gyarados had moved close enough to the edge of the water that it was in reach, so this time, Cacturne swung its prickly arm and smashed it right into Gyarados, who roared in pain this time.

“Gyarados, stay out of reach! Use Hyper Beam!”

Gyarados did as told and moved back, all the while firing a devastating Hyper Beam at Cacturne. The blast took a lot out of Cacturne, but it still managed to stay standing. It couldn’t reach Gyarados, though, and the sea dragon was rearing up for another Hyper Beam. Maxie came up with an ingenious idea.

“Cacturne, just jump onto it with your Needle Arm!”

Cacturne got a running start and leapt over the water, reaching out with both arms to grab Gyarados. The needles on its arms dug into Gyarados’ midsection and allowed Cacturne to stay attached, tearing away at Gyarados’ body while at the same time unreachable by it. Gyarados roared in pain.

“Thrash it! Drown it, now!”

It took little encouragement for Gyarados to begin thrashing wildly. Cacturne held on tight, but was being thrown about like a Safari Ranger riding a Tauros. Soon the Gyarados got the idea to go underwater. When Cacturne was finally thrown off, it landed with a thud next to Maxie, water-logged and unconscious.

“Grr… fine, then. Go, Crobat!”

VS

Unlike Maxie’s previous two Pokemon, Crobat had the advantage of mobility, and Gyarados now looked tired out.

“Use Cross Poison, now!”

Crobat secreted a poisonous substance and spread it throughout its entire body. Then it shot with lightning speed at Gyarados, seemingly passing straight through it. It took a moment for the blow to register with Gyarados, and then its face fell straight into the water, not rising again. The trainer returned it to its Pokeball, and Maxie looked triumphant.

“Hah! That’ll teach you to mess with Team Magma! Bahahaha!”

The hidden trainer, not amused, simply threw out another Pokeball.

VS

The Claydol levitated eerily over the underground lake, staring at Crobat with its six eyes. Crobat was slightly unnerved, but otherwise in top shape.

“Claydol, Psychic attack!”

Claydol’s eyes glowed with psychic energy, and suddenly Crobat was flung out of the air and into the cavern wall by an unseen force. Crobat was winded, but not finished yet.

“Retaliate with Air Slash!”

Crobat zipped past Claydol, and an air current ripped away at Claydol’s body, knocking it around in the air.

“Now use Crunch!”

Now Crobat swooped in close and bit down hard on Claydol’s face. It began dragging it around in the air like a chew toy.

“Yes! Submerge it in the lake!”

With a flinging motion, Crobat launched Claydol from its toothy grip directly into the lake below. Once in the water, Claydol was unable to levitate out of it. Oddly enough, it was like a demented sitting duck. The mysterious trainer cursed inaudibly, then shouted a final order to Claydol before beating a hasty retreat.

“Explosion, now!”

Claydol shone with a bright light and then spontaneously combusted, throwing Maxie and his Crobat to the wall and creating a handy cover of steam for the trainer to escape. When Maxie got up, he found his Crobat hurt, but still ok to battle. Maxie swore to himself never to camp out next to water again. He just couldn’t trust the stuff.

------------------------------------------------

Gold was wandering through a series of narrow corridors when he heard footsteps following behind him.

He quickly turned around and sent out his Mamoswine to defend himself. The huge beast was able to fit in the corridor, but it scarcely had and room to maneuver and dodge a possible attack. Gold was hoping simply to rely on durability and brute force.

“Go, Charizard!”

VS

The flame on Charizard’s tail lit up the small corridor adequately enough to see it clearly. This Charizard looked large, well-trained, and incredibly ferocious. Gold twiddled his thumbs nervously. Clearly Mamoswine’s brand of brute force was not going to work on this thing.

“Fire Blast, now!”

As the trainer behind it had planned, Mamoswine had no room to dodge the devastating inferno that hurtled straight towards it. Mamoswine was struck in the face at point-blank range, and was felled almost instantly.

“Return, Mamoswine… Go, Ampharos!”

VS

“Ampharos, use Thunderbolt!”

Ampharos’ own tail lit up the corridor even further, and then proceeded to launch a powerful electric bolt straight at Charizard. At Gold’s direction, Ampharos flooded the fire dragon with electricity, holding the current open for as long possible. Charizard continued to stand still as it was continually electrocuted.

“Enough playing, around, Charizard. Just finish this thing off already.”

As soon as it was instructed, Charizard gave a great flap of its wings, stood its ground, and instantly broke the electric current. It hardly looked fazed by the super-effective electric attack, and with a devious glint in its eyes it launched another Fire Blast.

“Ampharos! No!”

Though Ampharos was certainly much smaller than Mamoswine and might have even been able to dodge the attack, it knew that Gold was standing right behind it. Acting as a barrier to protect its trainer, Ampharos took the full brunt of the attack, and dropped like a fly afterwards.

Anger and fear burned equally in Gold’s eyes as he stood face to face with this extremely powerful Charizard, awaiting his own fate. The opposing trainer did not look as if to have any intent of ending the battle with just the Pokemon. However, just in time, the three of them heard footsteps and shouting coming from behind the mysterious trainer. The trainer quickly returned Charizard to its ball and sprinted down a side branch, disappearing from view.

“Hello there! Are you alright?”

Nurse Joy looked slightly out of breath from running.

“I heard what sounded like a battle, so I hurried over to help… are your Pokemon ok?”

Gold released his Mamoswine and Ampharos to show Joy.

“They’re scorched… the other guy had a wicked Charizard. He was about to burn me, too.”

“Oh, my! I’m afraid even if I help one of these two they won’t be able to protect you immediately. Why don’t you show me your Scizor?”

Gold sent out his Scizor, who was still weary from the battle the day before, while Joy released her Chansey.

“Chansey! Use Softboiled!”

The Chansey set to work healing up Scizor. In a moment or two it was as if it had never lost.

“There! Scizor should be able to protect you now, just in case… though I wouldn’t send it up against that Charizard.”

“Oh, I know that much already! Thanks, Nurse Joy!”

The two trainers went their separate ways.

-------------------------------------------------

Some time later, Nurse Joy had found herself a wide-open cavern to rest in. She was wary, though, and quickly stirred awake as soon she heard someone else’s footsteps.

“Go, Togekiss!”

The trainer stuck to the shadows as the opponent Pokemon burst out of its ball.

VS

Neither the trainer nor the Magnezone made a sound. Magnezone simply floated ever closer towards Joy and her Togekiss, with a menacing, piercing stare.

“Togekiss, use Double-Edge!”

With blistering speed, Togekiss zipped off the ground and plummeted straight into Magnezone with great force. The attack would have normally inflicted major damage, but Magnezone was made of solid steel. Instead, while Magnezone was thrown off course and crashed into the ground, Togekiss itself looked like it had been hit with a ton of bricks.

“Thunderbolt.”

Magnezone levitated itself magnetically again, and then launched a powerful electric attack straight at Togekiss. Togekiss yelped in pain, and was electrocuted for several long seconds before it managed to break away.

“Togekiss, use Psychic!”

“Thunder Wave.”

Togekiss tried to move Magnezone with psychic power, but it was quickly cut off when Magnezone released a radial electric field that struck and paralyzed it, dropping it to the ground.

“Magnet Bomb.”

Magnezone released a powerful magnetic blast aimed directly at Togekiss. When it struck, Togekiss was launched straight backwards until it crashed into a wall. It then dropped to the ground, unconscious.

“Oh no, Togekiss! Return now… go, Miltank!”

VS

Joy was nervous now. Without Togekiss, Miltank was the last Pokemon capable of defending her… Chansey happened to be more of a lover than a fighter.

“Miltank, use Rollout!”

Miltank got a running start, then leapt forward, rolled up into a ball, and kept rolling, picking up speed. Miltank started to speed around the cavern, avoiding Magnezone at first.

“Careful, Magnezone…”

When Miltank struck, it caught Magnezone from behind. The attack knocked Magnezone to the floor, and Miltank kept rolling, ever faster. Miltank came hurtling back at double speed for another attack.

“Magnet Rise.”

With a sudden burst, Magnezone levitated itself high up into the air, allowing Miltank to pass harmlessly underneath and collide with the wall behind it. Dazed, Miltank slowly started to get back up.

“Thunderbolt! Don’t let it escape.”

Magnezone blasted Miltank with electric current, continuing to electrocute it. Miltank was paralyzed in place and unable to escape. It soon fainted from the pressure. Joy, shaking, returned it to its ball.

“Chansey… do your best.”

VS

Chansey’s cheerful demeanor was replaced with protective anger, but it still didn’t look especially threatening.

“Use Egg Bomb!”

Chansey began to throw fake, explosive eggs at Magnezone, but it was unused to battling and its aim was off. Magnezone easily dodged the attacks and floated close to Chansey until they were face-to-face.

“Thunderbolt.”

A close-range thunderbolt was all it took to send Chansey flying into the wall for a knockout blow. Joy, quivering in fear, returned her last Pokemon. And then… nothing.

The trainer returned Magnezone to its ball, and quietly left without another word. Joy was left dumbstruck.

----------------------------------------

The next morning, all of the trainers returned for the next round of battles. They talked amongst themselves about the next round of attacks until the announcer began to speak.

“Greetings, trainers. Unfortunately, it seems that Nurse Joy no longer has any Pokemon left to battle with, so she has been eliminated from the tournament. The wild Pokemon of Cerulean Cave can be fierce. Perhaps it is wiser merely to stay in the rooms provided for you during the night. Anyway, let the voting begin!”

Begin Day 3!

It will end in 24 hours.

[Double A]

Looks like Togekiss should have used Aura Sphere.

But really, Chaotix, a Charizard beat an Ampharos? I thought you said only types mattered?

[thefluffyone93]

Charizard?
Are we fighting Red himself?
I can't think of any other people with Charizards, with the possible exception of Lance, the (former) Elite 4 champion of the Kanto Region, and Clair, his cousin, and gym leader of the Blackthorn City gym in the Johto Region.

There might have been a few more dragon users in the various Elite 4s, but its late, so good night.
