maylene's defeat [open]

arc's first gyb battle was ahead but he was calm: hew knew he would win. he checked the pokemon he was going to use where in good shape then he entered the gym! "i am here to chanellenge the gym leader!"

Maylene had been training when she heard someone enter the gym. She took a towel off a nearby rack and started to walk over to him, a smirk on her face. "Hello. I'm pleased to meet you. I'm Maylene, and I'm the Gym Leader. I don't really know what it means to be strong, or how I got to be the Gym Leader. But I will do the best I can as the Gym Leader. I take battling very seriously. Whenever you're ready!" Maylene threw out her first pokemon, Meditite. She was ready to battle, just awaiting for the trainer to send out his first pokemon.

"ha! i figured out what pokemon to use against yours so you got no chance!" << i just hope that meditite doesn't know teleport.... >> arc thought.

"gooooooooooo arbok!!!!" "to you the honnor of the first move "

Maylene relies mainly on her sense of strategy rather than full out brute strength. She knew she would have to think a bit with this one, knowing anything is possible. Defense was probably the best tactic in this situation. "Alright, Meditite, use detect." Meditite nodded and seemed to focus closely on the Arbok's movements, waiting for any possible movement that would hint at an oncoming strike.

arc looked at maylene with a look of mokery,disapointment, and surpriseness "hummmm not exactly what i was hoping for but ok" the giant snake pokemon started circleling the meditie like a vulture waits for its pray to die. "we need to try and get DOT*" arbok moved untill behind meditite then yawned, he closed his mouth and then started again, at the end of the 3rd yawn white needles started firing at meditite! arbok had understood what arc meant with DOT and had used poison sting!!!! "good arbok, il get the best pokemon food they have at the pokecenter later" arc called out to arbok "you will be up soon..." arc whisperd too the two pokeballs containing ursaring and tyranitar



[[*damage over time]]

OOC: Don't worry about battle acronyms. Chances are I'll have heard of them. Like DOT, AOE, DPS, ect. I'm a very experienced RPG player.


Meditate was able to avoid the incoming yawns as it's managed to jump skillfully around the Arbok. Maylene was thankful detect was such a useful defense technique. The poison sting however was a little unexpected. Maylene had little time to tell Meditite to dodge and watched as her pokemon took the damage. It seemed to almost knock Meditite out in one go. "Meditite, you're doing fine. Come on, let's try a little Confusion!" Meditite nodded and focused on the target, before sending a telekinetic force flying at Arbok, in hopes of not only doing damage but also to confuse it.

"dodge" arbok jumped very high "now use hyper beam" the energy beam fired from above trying to hit meditite on the head! "good arbok"

((sorry for the short post))

Maylene was quick to respond to the incoming attack. "Meditite, dodge it!" Though before the pokemon had a real chance to get away the beam blasted down on it with intense power. Maylene frowned as she returned her pokemon to it's pokeball. "Not what I expected, but that Arbok is pretty strong. No worries. Come on out Machoke!" Machoke came out of his pokeball, pumped and ready for battle. "Alright, let's get it going with a Seismic Toss!" Machoke would then run at the pokemon Arc had out, whether he stuck with Arbok or had swapped out, and attempt to grab them with his immense strength.

Arbok has gained 28xp

((just wasn't in the mood then, this should be better:P))

"you know maylene i got surpprise for you: im not planning on battling your muscled machoke with a thin pokemon like arbok. since machoke knoes dynamic punch il use a pokemon with defense" "arbok return" the red beam of light captured the snake pokemon just before machoke would have grabbed him "now tyranitar go!" the huge pokemon apeared if front of machoke growilng, to make a intidating apearence "show what you got!" "dark pulse now!!!!!" the dark purple and black twisting beam was fired at machoke with surprising speed. "you know , most tyranitars are slow, but i trained my tyranitar to have a short charging speed for attacks
like hyper beam or dark pulse and to be qiuck at dodging and moving, it will be hard for your
machoke to defeat MY pokemon.!"

((I'll note to you once again to be careful about what you say you trained your pokemon in. If it's natural that they aren't fast, and you've trained them, that doesn't mean they are professionals in the matter... And please work on your posting, as you have alot of capitalization errors.))

Maylene, nonsuspectant of the incoming attack, was surprised, though she immediately told her pokemon to dodge, of which it did. Based on the time that she had told it to dodge, it recieved some of the damage, but not the full effect.

"It sounds like you've been working quite hard with your pokemon and training, though are you sure that will be enough," Maylene asked, seeing if she could provoke the trainer into attacking.

"Oh belive me its enough. But adding to that i have a strategy!" "Tyranitar sandstorm full power!" Tyranitar started spinning covering the field with sand and filling the air with it! "Now errrr i know! Hyper beam!" Tyranitar knew his trainer well and also knew that hasitating wasn't like him. That braught him to the idea that there was a plan inside! Since tyranitar couldn't see a thing and he knew that his trainer knew it he was sure it was a plan! He though for a second then used hyper beam straight down!Rocks flew all over the field! tyranitar took a bit of damage but kept sending rocks every where on the battle field! "What did i say maylene? the bond between me and my pokemon is strong. He knows me and understands my ideas.Im harder to beat then most trainers, and believe me thats not only because of my high leveld pokemon"

((Doing an assessment of the fainted pokemon for the leader...))

"It's always pleasant to see a trainer that has a strong bond with his pokemon. However, even though you have highly trained pokemon, that does not mean that they are professionals at battling." Maylene watched as her machoke took some damage because of the sandstorm, though she wasn't about to let him|her be hit by those flying rocks. "Machoke, use karate chop at any rocks that head toward you, then when you get the chance, use low sweep on that tyranitar!" She watched as her machoke did at told, chopping up the rocks that flew at it whilst heading for the tyranitar. Since it was still in the air, machoke jumped to reach it's height, then used low sweep against the pokemon.

"Thats true Maylene, But mine ARE fighting experts, And you know one of my strategies is to wait for the right time! Tyranitar hyper beam!!!!!" A ball of energy charged in Tyranitar's mouth and just before the attack would have hit Tyranitar fired it!

((You didn't state whether your tyranitar dodged, and you are once again about to overpower your pokemon by saying they are fighting experts, when techniquely, you really haven't trained them that much [and I will continue to think this unless you have evidence where you have trained much]...))

((ever heard of counter attacks?))

((Alright, so that's settled, but watch the "fighting expert" thing unless you have evidence to show to back that up, alright?))

Machoke saw the incoming hyper beam, and it canceled it's low sweep attempt, and instead tried moving to the side, though it was in midair. It successfully managed to move away and take partial damage, though it still took damage. It landed on the groudn, then jumped up again. "Alright Machoke, since the low sweep attempt didn't work, use karate chop," Maylene said, watching as machoke had it's hand ready to chop the tyranitar.

"Tyranitar, show your skills" Arc simply commanded to Tyranitar. Tyranitar just stood there taking the attack, Tyranitar took damage but being the armor pokemon it wasn't very efective, but being partially rock type he took allmost the damage he was suppose to get. "This was too let you know you can't win" "Now Tyranitar fire fang!" Tyranitars teeth became red hot and flames formed in his mouth. He then tried to bite Machoke.



((note: "this was too let you know you can't win" is just the trainers confidence))

Machoke had no choice but to take the attack. It wasn't as able to move away in mid air as it would on the ground, and it had just finished an attack. It was bitten, and it wasn't very happy about it either. It still waited for Maylene to tell it what it had to do, and he was glad when she told him what to do. "Use leer, then attack with revenge," Maylene commanded, and the machoke instantly began using leer to lower the tyranitar's defence. After it had seen whether it had worked or not, It proceeded to attacking with revenge, which would do double the damage it normally would have considering the machoke had just taken damage a few moments ago.

Having a sharper look in the eyes then machoke Tyranitar was not effected by leer, but he was hit by revenge! Tyranitar stumbled backwards getting weak and tired but he didn't give up! "Finish it of, hyper beam!!!!" The new ball of energy was smaller then the last one, Untill Tyranitar roared! He was so angry the ball got bigger and bigger untill being slightly bigger then the last one! He then fire a ray of powerfull energy at blinding speed!

[[I can see how the hyper beam would become slightly bigger if it were angry and packing a little more punch into it, but the largeness of which I think when I read that doesn't say slightly Atlas, nor does the speed.

don't hyper beams allways go so fast? well anyway didn't understand much of your post but i made the hyper beam a bit smaller, the speed is still the same though

Machoke didn't stand a chance against dodging an attack that was of that size. He just waited and took the damage, and since it was preparing to take the damage, the attack did not do as much that it probably would have had the pokemon attempted to dodge. The machoke flew away and landed aroudn it's trainer, a little dizzy from the impact of the attack. Maylene told the machoke to get up, that the battle wasn't over and it did as it was told. "Well, now you have to wait a litlte while so your pokemon can recharge from the hyper beam." Maylene looked at machoke, then to the opposing pokemon. "Use revenge again Machoke," she said, and watched as the machoke started heading for the tyranitar. The attack was guarenteed to hit this time, as the opposing pokemon was forced to rest after using the attack it had just used.

Since Tyrantar was currently to tired to move it couldn't dodge the incoming attack. Tyranitar took the hit and fell backwards on a pile of rocks but since he was 22 levels higher then Machoke, if Machoke hadn't fainted yet Tyranitar was sure to not faint anytime soon. The rocks braught Arc to a idea! "Tyranitar use rockslide!"Tyranitar did so.

Maylene gasped calling out "No!" as the weary Machoke looked up being struck by the move and falling to the ground it attempted to then use a final move if Tyranitar had it's way. Maylene calling "Now Brick Break" Machoke lunging forwards his glowing fist moving towards Tyranitar with the last bit of strength it had.

"Tyranitar, use brick break too!" The attack hurled at eachother.
