ROUND 1
ARCHIE vs FELIX
BATTLE COMMENCE

[Felix]

Felix stood on a hilltop, overlooking the island he had landed on just a few days prior. The intel that had brought him here was good; hell was beginning to break loose. His black coat flapped in the wind behind him, but kept out the chill breeze. Just in front of him, a Xatu stood, silently surveying the town below them, same as her trainer. The redheaded guerilla laid a hand on the Pokemon's shoulder, nodding to her. The intelligent Pokemon understood the signal, and with a flash of light the pair were gone from the hilltop.

At the same time, a twin flash to the one from the hill appeared in the middle of the settlement, to reveal the Nox Ace Trainer Felix Lucas and his Xatu, Kirigiri. "Thanks, Kirigiri." With an affectionate feather-ruffling, he let the Xatu rest, a flash of red moving her back into her Pokeball. She could fight, sure, but it wouldn't be wise to lead with a strong psychic when several trainers had Pokemon completely immune to the mental influence.

Felix rushed forward through the town, ignoring shocked minutemen going about simple tasks in favor of seeking out someone with Pokemon. He turned a corner onto a true soldier and grabbed two Pokeballs from underneath his coat. "Touko, Sakura, let's go!" He tossed the red-and-white spheres into the air, releasing two Pokemon: an Absol and a Blaziken. "Lux can't have our islands! It's time for you to leave!" Sakura sank into her fighting stance, flames flickering around her wrists. Touko let out a growl, affirming his trainer's statement.

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me He was here to reclaim the islands, though not the ones he wanted. This was just one more step towards reclaiming his home from nox clutches. These weren't his islands, but they would do for now. His Pokemon were primed and ready for battle though he had no idea who or what he would be facing here. Trail flew above him in an attempt to scout out something. The Crobat let out a small cry in an attempt to warn the old man that there was indeed someone coming and just in time the sailor turned to see an opponent. So at the moment it looked like a two on two. He could deal with that. Pulling another Pokeball from his belt and released Kuro as well. "I'm not gonna go easy on ya kid!" He wasn't about to let the other guy get the first move either. He didn't need to give verbal cues to his Pokemon, having been with them probably longer than this kid was alive. Trail swooped down a bit, using confuse ray at the two opposing Pokemon. He wanted to try and cause as much confusion between the opposition as he could. Kuro was wanting to take the offensive right off the bat and rocketed hydro pump  at the blaziken in an attempt to get rid of a powerhouse pokemon right off the bat.

The first thing Felix thought as he saw his opponent's Pokemon attack was something along the lines of Shit, Hydro Pump! There was some part of him impressed with the bond this man had with his Pokemon, but for the most part it was cursing the Water-type attack. The trainer had to duck to the right, away from Sakura as she took the brunt of a Tentacruel's water blast and was pushed backwards, onto one knee. "Fall back, Sakura." He pulled out the Blaziken's Pokeball and recalled her. The lights sent out by the Crobat went unnoticed by the trainer, and he called out to his Absol; "Touko, use Razor Wind!"

The dizzy Absol whipped his head and sent a blast of wind... straight into a wall. Flakes of dust covered the street, and gave Felix an idea. He silently tossed a Pokeball forward, revealing what appeared to be a Blaziken, though the illusion was betrayed by the black tail visible from behind. "Use Fury Swipes!" The Zorua-Blaziken darted forward at the Tentacruel, swiping at it in a barrage of attacks, six swings before falling back again, turning its back to the opponent for a short time. Would the trainer see the tell and recognize it as a Zorua? Or would he think it was the same Blaziken that just took a Hydro Pump? Felix, while his Pokemon assaulted Tentacruel, rushed over to Absol, waving his hand in front of the dizzy Pokemon's face and shaking his shoulders a bit. "You OK, Touko?" The Absol gave a dizzy sort of sound in response and shook his head, starting to get his bearings back. "It's alright, hold still for now. The trainer backpedaled to survey the battle better, leaving the Absol as he got his figurative feet back under him.

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me The kid was good, he would admit that. Archie silently cheered as his Pokemon successfully launched their attacks and  hit their targets. Hell it didn't even seem as though his Crobat's attack had been noticed. He was happy that they had hit the blaziken hard enough that the trainer seemed to think it needed rest. When would they learn that there was no rest from war? He watched as the absol sent a useless attack at the wall and gave a silent signal to Trail to continue the assault from the air. He knew that the next attack would likely be something to keep a constant bit of damage up, from both of his Pokemon. He listened to the attack called out by this seemingly new Blaziken and something didn't quite sound right. He watched as Kuro threw his tentacles up in some sort of defense to the fury swipes. He knew pokemon from his home land and that fire-fighting type didn't learn fury swipes. "What sort of mischief Pokemon you hidin' under that disguise kid?" He knew he wasn't likely to get an answer considering this was war but, never to mind that. Trail flew down to flock the absol in an attempt to use Poison Fang, he wanted to try and inflict both confusion and a nasty bit of poison onto the dark type if it was at all possible. Hopefully since it was already confused it wouldn't be too hard to do the attack unscathed for the most part. Kuro was going in for a similar attack. With the unknown blaziken wanna be so close from his attacks he launched his tentacles forward in an attempt to use poison jab. All they could do was hope that their speed and particular advantages worked as well as they hoped.  POKEMON: Antoinette (swanna), Trail (crobat), Shida (cloyster), Aena (mightenya), Kuro (tentacruel)(damanged tentacles), Hader (sharpedo), Maxine (masquarian), Kingsly (jellicent M), Warren (wailmer), Amia (starmie) open Felix

"What sort of mischief Pokemon you hidin' under that disguise, kid?"

Felix smirked, not willing to let this Lux soldier see him phased by the failure of his disguise. At least he didn't know that it was a Zorua yet. More nonverbal cues that Felix missed must have happened, because the Crobat swooped down to attack Touko. "Touko, Psycho Cut!" The dizzy Pokemon stumbled a bit, but the Absol's horn glowed with a psychic energy as it swung at the Crobat, meeting the Poison Fang with its own attack.

Felix turned his attention to Asahina just as one of the poison jabs from Tentacruel connected, shattering the illusion of a Blaziken and leaving a much smaller, more nimble Zorua that managed to avoid the brunt of the attack, which was directed at a much larger target. She took a couple hits, but she didn't look sick. "Asahina, Hyper Voice!" Felix pulled out Touko's Pokeball and returned the Absol just as the little fox Pokemon let out an earsplitting screech that could easily injure the other Pokemon. He flipped another ball into the air, releasing a Gengar. "I wouldn't dream of having anyone go easy on me. Hagakure, use Hypnosis on the Crobat!" The Gengar obliged with a wicked grin on his face, a series of yellow and pink lights flying from his ghostly hands at the bat Pokemon. "You really want to work with Lux? Do you know what these people do?" Felix glared at the other Trainer, daring him to oppose what he was about to say. "Are you a tyrant, or do they only require you to be a murderer?"

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me He scowled as the tiny little fox Pokemon evaded a majority of their attack. Having it poisoned would solve a lot of a problem since it would continuously be weakened through the entire battle. Still he wasn't about to let that get him down. Wincing as Trail took the psycho cut and the bat fluttered and faltered in his flight, Archie returned the pokemon to its pokeball for a little bit of rest and so perhaps he wouldn't end up losing it. He hated losing Pokemon in this war. He watched as Kuro, not wanting to take the brunt of the hyper voice attack, quickly threw up a barrier to raise his defenses. It was always good to have Pokemon that could think independently. Scoffing a bit at the boys line of questioning he sent out another Pokemon to replace Trail, Hader, his sharpedo was a bit more bloodthirsty than his other Pokemon though that was natural given that it was a shark. "Lux, Nox, they're all a bunch of murderers and tyrants. The only thing I care about is getting my home back from you Nox scum and if that means fighting well I frankly don't give a damn." He was Aogiri "Archie" Chiba for petes sake. Ruler of the high seas and former dread pirate. He didn't really care what he had to do as long as his own agendas were filled. Nox had turned beautiful Pacifiladog into a military point, ruining everything the place had once stood for. His sharpedo lunged forward at the Gengar, his teeth blackened with a Night Slash attack. Hopefully the higher crit. rate for the attack would knock the ghost type back a few pegs.

Well, at least this one's honest about it. It was refreshing when someone was blunt about what they were doing. There was only so much self-righteous propaganda a guy could have spat at him before he got sick of it. "I'll give you killers, but tyrants? I don't know about that. You're the ones trying to take away human rights." He crossed his arms in front of him as he yelled to his Pokemon, hand signals to go along with the command; "Asahina, Hagakure, switch! Asahina, use Pursuit! Hagakure, jump and use Night Shade!"

The Zorua rushed towards the Sharpedo as the Gengar jumped to the side, slamming into the Night Slash and being flung backwards from the force of it. She stood back up right away and gave her opponent a stern glare before rushing forward again, this time executing Pursuit. She increased speed, cloaked in a dark purplish light before jumping and attacking the Sharpedo's fin, attempting to sink her little foxy teeth into the fish.

Meanwhile, Hagakure stood grinning at the Tentacruel. He held his arms forwards, forming a circle with his hands and firing a darker beam than the cloak that had indicated Pursuit, almost black, at Tentacruel. The demonic red glow in his eyes indicated that it was, in fact, a Night Shade attack. Nobody knew what exactly a Pokemon who got hit with Night Shade saw, but it wasn't ever good, that was certain. "Are these your islands, then? Because people live here, people with no part in this war, and your troops are making their lives hell."

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me He shook his head, this kid was obviously young and unaware that given the right motivation every man became a tyrant or at least had the potential to be. He watched as the pokemon switched positions and realized that Kuro was probably at a bit of a disadvantage now. They would need to think a bit quicker if they wanted to actually win this battle. His mind ran around the posibilities of sending out a different pokemon once more. He wasn't that worried about Hader considering that the small fox would be in for a rude awakening if it did end up latching onto the shark beast. Rough skin would harm it just as an attack would and cutting the inside of ones mouth didn't seem like a very good idea. Instead of just waiting around to be attacked though the sharpedo gathered up the energy for his own attack. With the zoura already aiming for his head the dual type used a Skull Bash in an attempt to knock it down, intercepting its pursuit with his own attack. He snorted and shook his head. These weren't his islands, not even close. "I say islands but what I really mean is I want my damn harbor back, Pacifiladog Harbor. You rats have ruined it and I'm aiming to get it back" Kuro once more tried to throw his tentacles up in defense but from a psychological attack that didn't do much. The tentacruel writhed for a few moments in pain, the Night Shade attack taking whatever toll it did on others. Still, they weren't ready to give up just yet. While it was clear the pokemon wasn't in the best of shape it send out another attack, Aurora Beam in an attempt to drive the ghost pokemon away.  POKEMON: Antoinette (swanna), Trail (crobat)(heavily damaged), Shida (cloyster), Aena (mightenya), Kuro (tentacruel)(moderately damaged) Out, Hader (sharpedo) Out, Maxine (masquarian), Kingsly (jellicent M), Warren (wailmer), Amia (starmie) open Felix

Felix's Zorua wasn't doing too well against the Sharpedo. Asahina practically jumped straight into the Skull Bash, and ended up tumbling head-over-heels to her trainers feet. "Dammit! Asahina, return!" He pulled the unconscious Pokemon back into her Pokeball and stood up straight as the Tentacruel fired an Aurora Beam at Hagakure. The Gengar took the attack head on, the lights ceasing and revealing a chilled, but still strong, Pokemon. "Hagakure, use Hypnosis, follow up with Dream Eater!" The ghost-type grinned and let out a little "Geng!", then fired another series of hypnotic rings at the Tentacruel, closing in to attempt to steal the Pokemon's dreams and replace them with traumatic nightmares that Felix did his best not to even think about. Of course, that would only work if the Tentacruel fell asleep.

There was still a Sharpedo to worry about. With all these water-type Pokemon, Sakura wouldn't be of much use. It was a good thing she wasn't the only Fighting-type at Felix's disposal. "Kiyo, get the Sharpedo! Use Aura Sphere!" Another Pokeball, this one blue with red markings, flew into the air, releasing a Lucario. Kiyo nodded at her trainer and charged a sphere of blue energy the size of a bowling ball between her hands, firing it at the dark/water-type. The sphere keyed in on the Sharpedo's aura, pursuing it swiftly. "You couldn't get farther from Pacifiladog. I can't see why you're here, and more importantly, I can't bring myself to care. All I see is someone with a stupid blue bandanna messing up someone else's town."

the things that you might like don't grow inside of me here was a small nod of approval to the sharpedo, having done his job well though it was far from over. He didn't care what the younger male had to say at this point, mainly because he was more concerned about winning this battle than explaining to the kid why he wanted to win it. He wasn't surprised to see another fighting type Pokemon. Typical of a kid who wanted nothing but a powerhouse team. He'd be sure to show the kid that power wasn't all that really mattered. With a wave of his hand Hader and Kuro begin to trade places, only for his tentacruel not only to be put to sleep but then faint soon after... He would have to work harder on this. Still, the sharpedo rushed forward, opening its mouth to let out a loud and shrill sounding screech at the opponent Pokemon. The water dual type then followed up with a Night Slash on the gengar, deftly moving out of the way of the aura sphere in the process. Pulling a Pokeball from his belt he released a swan type Pokemon. His Swanna was on of the few graceful things he had and he liked to keep her that way. She focused in on the Lucario, knowing that it was probably her target. Using Aqua Ring to give herself a small boost she then opened her wings wide, using a Hurricane attack at the fighting steel type. That was sure to send the creature sprawling hopefully. Not to mention the chance that it could possibly cause it to be confused as well.
