I think this battle's confusing everybody, Fool... Save Lake and Volcarona.

-watching the battle-

Basket: <Wow, they fought in the discussion thread!>

Basket! You don't have Fourth Wall privileges!

Basket: <I do in the chatroom!>

And we aren't in there now, are we?

Oh, do you hear that? That's the sound of a post being stricken from canon.

RETCON!

Basket: <I have no idea what just happened there...>

Since when was that new with this crowd? Go Lake! Go Luke!

Lake: <Should I? Yeah, I might as well...>

-Lake takes a deep breath, then sacrifices some of his HP (bringing him down to the low yellow) to blow a Bubble Shield for himself.-

Ooh...

Lake: -Smirks.- <Okay, let's see just how well this thing actually works.>

Maekrite — <Wait what?>

— They... disappeared... and now they're back...

Dintel — <YAY LAKE!!! — Where did they go, Trainer?>

— Some weird place... but not even barely as weird as some other places...

-Maekrite and I share a wink wink nudge nudge-

Maekrite — <It seems they didn't go to that place called chatroom...>

— That's a good thing. They fought in the discussion thread...

Maekrite — <Is that some other place where you guys discuss this thing called Real Life?>

—Yeah, of the sort. It's not as good as our wild chatroom though...

Algira — <Oh I hope Luke can win this... I don't like that Volcarona! Helios is nicer and cuter!>

— Come on, Lake!

-My team cheers Luke-

Maekrite — <That Volcarona better not have jumped there. I kinda like that place... and the whole things that appear from nowhere...>

— Yeah... Lake is fun enough to jump into Chatroom... Woolly too as well, I hope she is not hurt from our practice.

Maekrite — <it's a nice place with the greenfields. And you did pretty well with your Leers, and she looked scared when you cornered her, Silent.>

—Thanks, Maekrite... ahem... I hope the others are not too scared I can't get used to it yet.

-Dintel, Xatu and Algira nom some Rage Candy Bar-

—Oh well, we better return to the chatroom... this battle is going too wild and I hear something happened to Basket...

Maekrite (blushes) — <...>

—I know, I know... we'll check...

-Drapion decides to try and pierce the bubble with a Cross Poison-

-Lake's bubble wobbles, taking some damage, but holding firm for now.-

Lake: <Wow, this does work well.>

-Lake raises a foot and slams the floor hard, sending an Earthquake at Drapion.-

Maekrite — <...? Did something happen between us right now?>

— ... Dunno. I'm enjoying the battle...

Maekrite — <Oh... come on, Lake...>

-I pet Maekrite and Algira-

— Hey, Lake's using the Bubble Shield! Hmmm....

-blinks, thinks-

— O'kay, that means one of two things. Either PEFE approved of the move pretty quickly, or the administration of this tournament is kinda clumsy...

-Maekrite and I stare at each other, think back to Giovanni-

Both — PEFE approved! *yay*

— Luke is quite a worker... I wish my interns were more like that...

Meanwhile in Western Johto

-A poor intern is seen trying to walk the wilderness that exists in the seashore west of Olivine. He is all bruised, has lost half his shirt and his hair, or what is left of it, is a mess...-

Intern Firuz — I really, really hope that Silent and Tangent get to appreciate this.

-Drapion is knocked off his feet, but scrambles up and slashes the bubble again with Night Slash-

-Unfortunately this proves more then Lake's bubble can handle.-

-PLOP!-

Lake: <Oh! Ah well, it did it's job.>

-The Feraligatr freezes his fist over, then socks Drapion in the face hard with an Ice Punch.-

-Drapion brushes the remaining ice crystals off, and begins grappling with Lake, nailing him with a Cross Poison-

Lake: <AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!>

-Lake's HP is now in the red.-

LAKE!

Lake: <Eurgh...I need to finish this quickly!>

-Lake spins around and hits Drapion with an Aqua Tail.-

-Drapion is slammed back-

-He struggles to stand, before collapsing-

........

-I silently recall Drapion-

Luke...

Won.

Lake: <!!!>

...

...We won...

Lake: <We won!>

YES!

-Lake runs back to me and gives me a hug.-

See! I told you that you wouldn't let me down!

Lake: <I know.>

-To Anom- You did great, Anom!

Lake: <Yeah! It was a pleasure fighting against you!>

edited 17th Jul '11 5:58:18 PM by Luke924

Aww, poor Anom. I think that means that all of the single type trainers are eliminated.

Felis: <Well, now we know what would have happened to you if you'd entered.>

Hey, you don't know that.

Felis: <Every single battle you have fought with a member of this group has been a loss, don't forget. Even the one where there wasn't any trainer.>

Yeah, and it's only been two, don't forget. Doesn't mean anything.

-In the stands-

<Nadia: "He won! He really won!">

-Begins to rush down stands-

"Nadia! Wait!"

<Toothless: "... I don't mean to dampen your spirits, Nadia... But we should probably let Lake get healed first before we congratulate him...">

-Nadia pauses-

<Nadia: "... Right.">

-Having caught up-

<Milo: "Someone's a little excited, hu- HEY!">

-Is slapped by Lardna-

<Lardna: "Be quiet!">

— YAY!

Dintel — <Luke is so good and the bubble fought and it was all WOOOOSH~! and ZZAAAAAMMMM~!>

-Maekrite and I share a hug; then I welcome Dintel, Algira and Xatu to the group hug, and decide to wait for a moment before going to give our congratulations to the fighters-

Maekrite — <Damn that technique is good... I'm impressed that Drapion managed to break it so easily...>

—Well, it took you only two hits when you were defending me...

-Maekrite blushes-

Maekrite — <ahem... I'm sure Nadia is going to be very, very happy and will surely be very welcoming for Lake tonight!>

—...Maekrite!

-Claps as well-

-Me and Lake take a bow for the audience.-

Okay, let's go and get you healed.

Lake: <Right. Good idea.>

-Me and Lake leave for the Pokémon Center.-

<Nadia: "Could we?">

"Yeah, I think we could..."

<Teala: "Wait, what are we doing again?">

<Kat: "Going off to congratulate Luke.">

<Teala: "Oh. But I thought that we were going to do that anyways! Why ask?">

<Vlad: "Come on, let's go!">

-Begins following after Luke with group-

Yeah... good match, Luke...

-Walks away, looking at the floor the whole time-

Ah well, Luke Won, Anom lost. -gets up and leaves-

So Luke won.

Which means I have to fight him next.

-Watches Anom leave-

I sure do feel bad for him though.

-Leaves Pokemon Center with team, having just got them healed.-

You did great, guys! All of you!

Lake: <Thanks...>

Woolly: <Yeah! Thanks Luke!>

Flare: <Heh, it was nothing.>

Wulfric: <You're welcome.>

And well done Stratus, for doing...Um...The Windy thing.

Stratus: <Thanks! I'm really glad I managed to do it!>

Crowley: <'Ey, no fair! I didn't get to fight!>

Sorry Crowley. I was going to send you out after Lake fainted, but...He didn't. So yeah, I'm really sorry.

-Crowley gives me an angry look, before adjusting his "Hat" and beginning to mutter irritability under his breath.-
