Open Slateport Tournament (open)

Not open for further replies.
"Huh, a shiny Charizard, that's impressive, nice to meet you Ravager", Curt remarked seeing the impressive beast. Embertail wasted no time in jumping down from the couch and extending his hand to his evolved brethren.

"Errro, I'm Remberrail", Embertail said, introducing himself to the mighty Charizard. Curt chuckled too himself as he realized that, despite being almost three times Embertails size, the Charmander was probably older then Ravager. Embertail was just as old as Curt, maybe even a little older, but was unable to evolve due to....well, Curt was just happy to continually see his best friend not begrudge an evolved member of his species due to his inability. Short after, Curt heard Jacob approach them.

"Errro Reakrup", Embertail said, waving at Jacob as he approached them.

"Hey Jacob, yeah we can grab a bit, oh, before I forget, you've meet Lockjaw, and this adorable little Cubone here is Jasper", Curt said, introducing his other Pokemon. Lockjaw gave a shy smile, but waved at Jacob all the same. He didn't know Jacob extremely well, but the man was familiar and Curt and Embertail had mentioned him earlier. Jasper gave a "hurumph" at being called "adorable" (she didn't not like being called that), but growled out a greeting all the same.

As for food, yeah we could go for something to eat, I'm good for anything so long as we go someplace that has vegetarian options....Embertail doesn't eat meat, long story", Curt said said as he pondered their food options, "I saw a Subway near here, but I think we both want something the captures the essence of Slateport, which means....a Seafood place". Curt didn't particularly enjoy Seafood, but was fairly fond of Clam Chowder, if Jacob wanted a place like that, Curt suppposed he could grin and bear it, and Embertail could always get a salad or soup or something. Lockjaw would LOVE a place like that, and Jasper wouldn't care too much so long as she got to eat.

"It's up to you buddy, we're good for just about anything, right everybody?", Curt said to his friend while his team growled in agreement with him.
 
'Ravanger, chari zard " responded the Pokemon to his unevolved brethren as he shook the charmanders hand and showed embertail his tail a sign of respect between the species
"There's a little strip of shops just 10 minutes walking distance from here the restaurant specialises in dishes from all over hoenn, and they have seafood and vegetarian options too" said Jake as he rose to his feet
"Oh and Jacob, if I seemed a little harsh back there it was only because I'm from a household where my step father regularly blames Pokemon for all his problems, so I guess when I saw you lose your temper at Nero I just snapped" Jake offered the boy his hand to shake
 
--- at Nick's hotel room---
Loki and thor where helping at cleaning the room while nick was grooming freya's feathers, "there! Now freya you did good but next time no flirting with the opponent, ok?", freya just chuckled and gave a slight nod before heading to help the other 2 pokemons, nick decided to go meet up with the others as well as giving tyr a walk so he sent out his lucario, unlike other lucarios, tyr was missing a hand which he lost during a training session with Nat's zangoose, now his missing hand was replaced with a metal one

---at the lobby---

Nick and tyr where at the lobby when they saw the others, "Hey guys! I want you to meet my lucario, tyr." He said as the lucario waved it's metal hand at Jacob, curt and Jake.
 
Jacob looked Jake up and down. He did seem to honestly be apologizing. Jacob thought it was appropriate but he understood it might be difficult for someone to admit that they had done something wrong. He smirked, and took Jake’s hand.


“Don’t worry about it,” he said, turning his gaze to Jake’s black Charizard standing just beside him. The pokemon was impressive; Charizards weren’t rare per say, particularly among advanced trainers, but they were extremely powerful. To see a Charizard of this color was extremely rare, and Jacob’s interest was peaked. Curt interrupted his thoughts, however, asking about where to eat. Jacob turned to answer, but before he could Nick arrived, his Lucario standing beside him.


“Hi Nick! Hi…. Tyr was it? We were just about to go get some seafood I think: the Slateport delicacy. Would you like to come with us?” Jacob asked this almost rhetorically; he knew that everyone was there to go into town and get some food. He turned away from the group and motioned for them to follow him out of the lobby, and into the streets of Slateport.
 
Jake noticed that Jacob was admiring Ravenger and smiled
"Yeah Raven here can be amazing to see for the first time"

(Hope you don't mind guys but I'm gonna cut to the restaurant)

"So guys what do you want to order the hoenn banquet looks good it's got seafood and it's got vegetarian such so if it works for everyone I think we should order it" said Jake as he admired the menu of tastes of hoenn suddenly a pokeball popped from jakes bag and opened unveiling a small fluffy Eevee "oh hey nova I was wondering when you would make your big appearance, oh everyone meet nova, nova meet kirt and embertail, Jacob and nick. Yes this little fuzz ball can't decide what she wants to be when she evolves but we know she'll make the right choice when she does" said Jake as nova jumped onto jakes lap and he began to lightly pant her head
 
The restaurant, "The Angler's Line", was located on one of Slateport's numerous pier's. You could hear the ocean through the wooden boards that made the restaurants floor, all around things like red and white life preservers, fishing net's, lures, and other authentic sailor and fishing equipment littered the walls of the restaurant, serving as decor. The salty sent of the ocean assaulted their nostrils while the occasionally Water Type Pokemon leaped out of the water, provided a momentary distraction from their menu's, which offered a wide variety of seafood dishes (none of them Pokemon, of course).

Curt sat down at a wooden picnic styled table, in between Embertail and Lockjaw, with Jasper at the edge of the table. Curt ended up ordering a bowl of Clam Chowder like he predicted he would, Lockjaw (being from a swamp) ordered the trout, Jasper ordered salmon with crack pepper and extra lemon (she loved sour foods), while Embertails interest was peaked by some sort of seaweed salad, which apparently was some sort of local dish. Curt knew this was going to be a tad bit expensive, he was always one to spoil his Pokemon like this, but he felt they deserved it for putting up with him all the time. Just outside the restaurant, a sort of arena was set up where trainer's and their Pokemon could do some light sparing while waiting for their meal. Curt debated on asking if anyone else was interested in battling while they waited, but decided against it. They had a tournament tomorrow and didn't want to risk anything happening to his team before the big day, especially considering how scarce medical supplies currently were in this town.

"Huh, what Jake-oh, an Eevee huh?", Curt said, noticing the little brown fox popping out of her trainer's bag, "Nova, huh, well isn't she adorable". Embertail responded with his typical "eerrough", Jasper simply nodded at the Pokemon, while Lockjaw, shy Pokemon that he is, gave a quick waved then proceeded to pretend he didn't exist. It was funny, Eevee were very rare Pokemon, but a lot of trainers seemed to have one of their evolutionary types on their team, Curt included. Seeing Jake busy with his Eevee, Curt decided to look to Nick as a conversation partner, considering out of everyone here, they were the least acquainted.

"So...Nick, if you don't mind me asking, when and how did you and Tyr meet, I'm a bit curious?", Curt said as Embertail and Jasper's attention was drawn towards him, equally curious. Lockjaw was still spacing out at the ocean, pretending he wasn't there. Curt hoped he didn't ask anything personal, he hardly knew the man, even Jake, him, and his team had some sort of interaction back when they were trapped in The Glimmering Caverns. But Curt knew he had to be a very skilled trainer to defeat Jacob, and any person with Pokemon that tough had to have some stories to share.
 
Nick was looking at the menu when tyr poked him to draw his attention to curt's questions, "Huh? Oh well it was an ironic accident actually! I was trying to avoid wild pokemon when I ran into him, he didn't try to harm me like other wild pokemon, instead he kindly pointed at a pokeball, it was obvious he wanted to be on my team" he said, then continued, "as for the metal arm, it was an accident that occurred during a practice session with my friend Nat and his zangoose", he said, then he noticed Nat in the distance talking to another person, "speaking of the devil, there he is!" Nick chuckled, and then went back to his menu.
 
Jake ordered the eeveelution of food dish which consisted of one type of food to represent each of eevee's evolutions
"I think after the surprises of today i need a bit of everything" laughed jake as he folded his menu and released the rest of his Pokemon to go spar
 
Nick had ordered a grilled lobster with a sweet and sour sauce, he then looked at Jake and asked "so Jake, I herd that one of the next battles is me against you, are you excited?", meanwhile tyr was starting at embertail with intrest, nick has left tyr out of his pokeball back at the hotel when he challenged Jacob, and curt's battle was being broadcasted on TV, wich tyr was watching.
 
"BWAAAAAAP," Jacob let out a loud burp as he finished his fish. It was a pretty good meal, but Jacob had eaten better in Mossdeep. In fact, half of the Hoenn region's specialty was fish. Having grown up in Hoenn, his standards were very high regarding seafood. But this meal wasn't bad. He looked over at the others who seemed to have enjoyed the meal as well. Nick, Jake and Curt all had pokemon surrounding them, eating as well. Jacob wanted to release his own, but he really didn't have the money to feed them from his own pocket. Not at the moment, anyway.

"So, which of you are fighting first tomorrow?" Jacob asked the group. "I mean, they did post the match-ups earlier today, right?" It had been getting late; the sky was orange outside the window as the sun dipped halfway below the horizon. Clouds dotted the sky, but it wasn't dark enough for concern. Besides, the weathermen Jacob had seen had all predicted sunshine tomorrow. It would be a good day for battles. This line of thought made Jacob feel a bit uncomfortable, as he wouldn't be the one battling, but he removed that thought from his mind as he looked to the others.
 
"Nick and I are against each other in the first semi" said Jake as he swallowed the last of the fairy floss from his eeveelution plater "the semi's are apparently 3 vs 3 battles so I guess we should start heading back" Jake said as he and Pokemon rose from their seating area's
"Hey seeing as this place was my idea I think it should be my shout, Pedro! Put this all on the family tab" yelled Jake as he walked away his Pokemon in toe "eat all you want the family tab is limitless"
 
"Yeah, we should probably head back to the hotel and get ready ourselves, thanks again for dinner", Curt said as he, Embertail, Lockjaw, and Jasper all hopped up from their set's and got themselves ready to head out to the restaurant.

"Hey Jacob, I hope to see you at the Tournament semi-finals tomorrow, I know you out, but it'd be nice to see ya there", Curt said, with Embertail growling in agreement. With that, they headed out of he restaurant and back to their hotel room. The walk back was fairly uneventful, though Embertail did stop them because he wanted to catch a cricket, after which Jasper challenged him to see who could catch the cricket first...the cricket got away. Not long after that they were climb the stairs of their hotel and unlocking the door to their room.

"Hey guy's were back, man, did you guy's miss one heck of a meal", Curt said to the other half his team. Raviel was lying on one of the beds (carefully avoiding poking holes in it with his spikes) and watching T.V with Whips setting next to him, on thee floor as the Dragonite barely fit in the room as is. Flare was lying down near the lamp on the other bed reading a book(e was going to hear Hell from room keeping about all the fur tomorrow), though was taking the occasion peak to see what was going on with whatever program Raviel and Whips were watching. Curious, the group that had gone out to eat shambled over to the T.V the inspect the program, turns out it was broadcasting the battles that were held at the tournament early this day.

"Huh, that does make me thing, how are we going to handle Nick or Jake", Curt said out loud,"we didn't even see Jake fight, and if Nick managed to beat Jaocb, then he sure as hell won't go down easy". Curt said as he planted himself down on the edge of the bed.

"Keehko reghrough", Whips growled at him.

"Yeah your right Whips, we would worry about getting through the Semi's before our final opponent", Curt said as he laid back to finish watching the program, "But I have to ask, did you see any of Jakes battles on here?"

"Neh reh", Raviel responded.

"Oh, I see, well let's keep watching to see if we can get some insight on our opponents, and then we can talk a little strategy before we go to bed", Curt said as he laid back on the bed, his team giving their own, various responses of agreement.
 
Jake returned to his suite and slumped on the bed before rolling over and turning on the tv
"Guys watch, learn, me need sleep" moaned Jake as he drifted of to sleep
 
"Well then, this was fun but I need to go " said Nick as he and tyr left the others

--- at Nick's hotel room ---

Nick got into the room, he saw freya sitting by the mirror using the brush, thor was watching the TV, and loki was rummaging in his prank tools bag, "so was there any battles while I was gone?", thor just shook his head, Nick decided to take a shower and go to sleep
 
BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEEEP! Jacob's alarm on his phone was buzzing violently. But Jacob didn't move; he was deep asleep, dead tired from staying up late the night before. He had taken a nap after his battle yesterday, which meant he was up till 3 am last night. As the clock reached 9:05, his alarm stopped.

Jacob shook in his bed, rolling over before turning to look at the clock. "9:30?!" He immediately jumped up out of his bed. The first match was supposed to start at 9:30! He had to rush if he wanted to see it at all! Quickly getting dressed and brushing his teeth, he rushed out the door, unshowered. Slamming the door behind him, he realized he had forgotten his belt. He spun around, swung the door back open, grabbed his belt, which held all his pokeballs, and rushed back out the door.

Running along the path, he removed one of the pokeballs from his belt, which he held in his hands. But rather than release it, he sped up. He quickly made it to the stadium. He glanced down at his phone as he entered: "9:41." He wasn't too late. Breathing heavily, he began scanning the crowd for Curt. As he did, he dropped the pokeball, releasing his Heliolisk, Dexter. The pokemon hadn't gotten to battle, but he always liked to watch (unlike Nero, who needed to take part). Dexter stretched, obviously having awoken himself just recently. The pokemon began looking for Curt as well. After a few seconds, Dexter climbed up Jacob's back, grabbing his head with both hands and turning it to the left.

"Dexter, I don't see what you want me to look at, just point!" The pokemon swung around his neck to the front of his body, hanging off Jacob's shoulder with his right hand. With his left, he pointed at something orange. Jacob squinted. "I see it now, thanks," he said, as the Heliolisk smiled and nodded. Dexter dropped to the ground and the two of them walked over to Curt and Embertail.

"Hey Curt! Did the match start yet?"
 
Curt, Embertail, and the rest of the team dragged themselves out of their room early that morning. They had a light breakfast and arrived at the stadium just before 9:30 A.M. It was funny, the only thing Curt seemed to be on time for now a day's were things that were related to Pokemon, but such is the passion of a Pokemon trainer. According to the tournament boards, his match was going to be first, starting at 9:45 on the dot. Seeing that they had a few minutes, he and Embertail decided to wait on the sidelines of the arena, they wanted to avoid setting down so they didn't end up getting sleepy again. Of course, they soon realized they wouldn't have to worry about that when they saw Jacob and some, odd lizard like Pokemon that neither of them had never seen before come walking over to them.

"Oh he-

"Errrro rackob", Embertail shouted, waving at Jacob and his companion.

Heh, yeah, hi Jacob and...um, who's your friend, I've never seen a Pokemon like it before", Curt said, pointing at the yellow lizard, "anyway's, we should be on any second now". Curt, Embertail, Jacob, and Dexter made small talk for a little bit, until..

"Will trainers: Curt, Jessica, and their teams please make their way onto the arena", The Announcer said over the microphone. Curt looked over the see a moderately tall, brown haired girl with a single pink stripe through her hair walk on to the opposite side of the field. That looked to be their opponent.

"RARROOUGH", Embertail cried, his typical smile on his face.

"Yep, looks like we're up, wish us luck you two", Curt said as he and Embertail made their way to the battlefield. They wasted no time as they both Curt and Jessica threw out their Pokemon almost simultaneously. Curt decided to play it safe and throw out Flare, the Ninetales bursting from her ball with a elegant cry. While Jessica's chosen Pokemon burst out with an incredible and ground shaking roar.

"RAGGAAAHH", the Rampardos cried, stomping the ground and sending weak shockwaves through the arena.

("Hmmmm, a Rampardos, a very powerful Pokemon and one that has a type advantage over me, still, far from an uphill battle, wouldn't you say?)", Flare told Curt via her telepathy. Curt nodded at the Fire Fox, Rampardos were perhaps one of the physically strongest Pokemon to have ever existed, their skull apparently being strong enough to break through even a Steelix's thick hide. They were also incredibly rare, the very few in existence were revived from fossils, and that method was only known by a very few select scientist, so that meant this girl obviously knew someone important to get this Pokemon. Still, he had no time to gawk at his opponent's Pokemon, they had a battle to win.


"Alright Skullbreaker, use Earthquake!", Jessica yelled as the Rampardos, who's name was apparently Skullbreaker (appropriate) began slamming his skull onto the ground, sending surprisingly powerful tremors through the field. It was a smart move, Ninetales were normally long ranged fighters, and what better way to knock them off their guard before moving in for close range battle then with an Earthquake attack. Still, Rampardos weren't known for their speed, and Skullbreaker was creating tremor's at a rather slow pace.

"Flare, Energy Ball, quickly !", Curt yelled as Flare rapidly formed and launched a green sphere of nature energy at the dinosaur Pokemon. Skullbreaker didn't have time to dodge the attack, due to him being in the middle of making Earthquakes, and took the Energy Ball head on. Curt feel a small sense of pride in Flare when he saw the stunned look on Jessica's face, no one expected a Grass-Type attack from a Fire-Type Pokemon. Still, Skullbreaker wasn't done yet, he picked himself up and let out a mighty roar at Flare, letting everyone know he was far from out.

"Well, this is shaping up to be a good battle isn't it", Curt said, with Embertail giving another roar in agreement. Even Flare had a small smile on her face, the excitement of the battle pumping adrenaline through her veins. Curt heard Jessica order Skulllsmash to attempt a surprising Dragon Tail attack, Energy Ball wasn't going to puncture through that attack, but then again, they would be a bit dis appointed if their opponent's went down that easily.

"Alright Flare, this time trip them up with a Psychoshock", Curt yelled to Flare as her eye's began to glow. The battle was just starting to get good.
 
Jacob and Dexter watched the battle from the balcony. Jacob was lucky enough to find a front row seat, right up along the railing. Dexter stood on the ledge, holding on to the suspended railing with both hands. He was watching each move that Flare and her opponent made carefully. The Rampardos was huge, and had the type advantage. It appeared as though Curt might be knocked out of the tournament.

As Jacob was thinking, Flare hit the Rampardos with an energy ball attack. The move even caught Jacob by surprise, and he leaned in to get a closer look. Flare definitely would be faster than the rock pokemon. With that said, a pokemon like Rampardos would be very sturdy, and could probably handle more than a few hits. This battle would be a close one.

Of course, there would be three of them. Jacob had to remind himself that the fight was a 3 v 3, which meant that even if Flare went down, Curt wouldn't be finished. He had plenty of strong pokemon, and most of them would have been a better match for this Rampardos. Maybe he should switch out his pokemon? Jacob wasn't certain if this made sense either; after all, Flare did appear to have a large variety of moves at her disposal.

Jacob and Dexter watched carefully, and quietly, as the rest of the crowd boomed around them with every hit, cheering or booing.
 
(OOC: For the sake of getting the long awaited battle between Lord and Frontier on the road, I'm going to wrap this battle up)

"THERE LOCKJAW, AN OPENING!", Curt yelled to the Croconaw, who wasted no time in biting down on the Kadabra with a mighty Crunch attack. The Kadabra fell to the floor, in a panic, he tried desperately to bash Lockjaw off his arm, but his underdeveloped muscles made the effort futile. Jessica tried to call out to the Kadabra to use Psychic to get him off, but the Kadabra was in too much of a panic to maintain the focus for psychic attacks. After a few more seconds of the Kadabra trying to get Lockjaw off, with each attempt getting weaker and weaker, the referee decided to call this round before things got out of hand.

"Wizen is unable to continue, the victory goes to Lockjaw", the referee declared, which was the signal for Lockjaw to immediately release his grip on the Psi Pokemon. Cries of all kinds echoed around them from the crowed, cheer's, boos, and various other screams.

"Alright! Nice work Lockjaw!"

"Raghrouh!"

Lockjaw blushed bashfully and scratched the back off his head. He felt like he couldn't take all the credit, Flare had done some decent damage to Wizen after she knocked out Skullbreaker with another well placed Energy Ball. Still a victory was a victory and now they were ahead by one. They watched as Jessica recalled Wizen, thanked it for it's efforts, and then reached to her belt for another Pokemon. Despite having trailed behind in the match, she didn't look worried in the slightest, focused, but not worried, this only told Curt and his team that this last Pokemon was going to be a doosey. Having made her choice she pulled her arm back, and then threw it forwards, releasing the Pokeball.

"I'm counting on you, PLAINSTRIDER!", Jessica yelled as out from the Pokeball came a night-black Lynx with piercing yellow eye's. Her fur was wild and unkempt as it crackled with electrical discharge, her black and yellow tail swaying back in forth in anticipation. She let out a low growl as she began to circle Lockjaw, no doubt sizing up her prey for battle, her gaze sent a massive chill down Lockjaws spine and made him take a step back. Even Curt felt himself compelled to let out a low whistle at the impressive stature of the Cat Pokemon.

"A Luxray huh, man, girl must have worked hard to get one of those on her team", Curt muttered as he continued to size the Pokemon up. Curt knew he didn't have the match in the bag, but this defiantly put his victory at a bit more jeopardy then he was hoping for. There was no question, as soon as the referee started the match, he'd have to try and call Lockjaw back, no way he'd be able to handle an Electric Type Pokemon like that without extreme difficulty.

"Annnnnd BEGIN", the referee shouted, Curt's hands immediatly went to pull out Lockjaws Pokeball.

"Lockjaw, come ba-!"

'Strider use discharge and follow up with Wild Charge!", Jessica cried, using an unexpected range attack. The move was surprisingly quick, as it forced Lockjaw to dive out of the way to avoid the attack, but it also caused Curt to fail to recall him,

"Damn it come on", Curt said under his breathe as he desperately tried to call Lockjaw back, but it was no good. Whenever Curt tried to call Lockjaw back, the Luxray's speed and excellent sense forced Lockjaw to go on the defensive. Jessica and Plainstrider where determined to prevent Lockjaw from getting a moment to rest, and Curt quickly realized he was going to have to go on the offensive, but he'd have to wait for the right moment.

"'Strider, use another Wild Charge!", Jessica ordered.

"Lockjaw, stand your ground", Curt told his companion. Lockjaw's eye's opened wide in obvious fear of the charging Lynx, but still, he stood his ground. Curt gritted his teeth, he'd need to time this just right...

"Now Lockjaw, WATER GUN IN THE EYE'S!", Curt yelled as Lockjaw shot a small, quick squirt of water into 'Strider's eye's, causing her to veer off course. A Luxray's eyes may allow them to see through anything, but getting a jet of water in your eye's still hurt. Now was their chance!

"Lockjaw, Aqua Tail!"

"Strider, THUNDERBOLT TO YOUR LEFT", Jessica yelled in response to Curt's command. Clearly Jessica and Plainstrider had spent a long time together, their strategies were great and they trusted each other greatly. Plainstrider didn't even bother getting the water out of her eye's before let loosing a massive Thunderbolt in Lockjaw's direction. Though Lockjaw was just quick enough to strike her with Aqua Tail, the water that Lockjaw used to coat his tail for the attack served as a magnet of the Thunderbolt, and Lockjaw took the full force of the attack, finally bringing him down.

Lockjaw is unable to battle, Plainstrider is the winner", the referee yelled, elicting more cheer's, boos, and various other cried from the audience. Curt walked down on the field to pick up his friend and make sure he was O.K, aside form being a little embarrassed at his own attack being partially responsible for his defeat, he seemed alright.

"Lockjaw you did great out there, and don't worry, we'll bring Plainstrider down", Curt said as he gave Lockjaw a warm smile before calling him back. That did bring up the issue; who should he send out next? Embertail was still to banged up to battle after the fight they had yesterday. Raviel was in a bit better condition, but he could still use a bit more time to recover, still it was a possibility. Whips would be almost a sure win, but Curt wanted to save him for the final round, but then again....

Curt reached down to his belt and loosed a ball, drew it above his head, threw it and shouted, "I have faith in you, JASPER!" The Cubone revealed herself in a bright flash of light, landing on the ground with a "Thump" and took a battle stance, glaring at the Plainstrider with determination in her gaze. Curt heard Embertail cheering on Jasper with the passion of a hundred cheerleaders, which, humorously enough, almost seemed to embarrass the Cubone a little.
This time, Curt wasn't going to let Plainstrider get the upper-hand, tand Curt jumped on the battle the moment the referee said "Begin!".

"JASPER BONEMERANG LET'S GO!", Curt cried as Jasper reared her arm back and launched her Thick Club directly at Plainstrider.

"PLAINSTRIDER, QUICK ATTACK"!, Jessica yelled in response to the attack. In a flash, Plainstrider weaved through the Bonemerang attack and rammed into Japser head on. But still, the bold Cuebone held on tight to the Luxray's mane, despite Plainstriders attempts to shake her off. She held tight with both hands until her Thick Club came soaring back into her hands, allowing her to....

"Alright Jasper, now hit her with Bone Rush!", Curt yelled. Jasper didn't need to be told twice, as she immediately began bashing Plainstrider on the head, causing her to thrash about even more wildly then before. Unfortunatly, with only one arm to hang onto the Luxray with, Jasper was eventually sent flying towards he otherside of the arena by Plainstrider, leaving her wide open to attack.

"Alright, enough of this, Plainstrider, finish her up with Ice Fang", Jessica commanded. Plainstrider eagerly responded to her trainers command as she charged at Jasper, her sharp teeth coated in Ice. However, that attack gave Curt an idea.

"Jasper, Ice Beam the ground in front of you", Curt yelled in a panic. Despite being thrown for a loop, Jasper was still able to aim well enough the blast the ground infront of her with a wide spread Ice Beam. Plainstrider, over eager in her desire to finish the battle, charged right onto the ice, causing her to slip and fall right on it, sending her sliding right towards Jasper.

"NOW'S YOUR CHANCE, BONE CLUB", Curt yelled, and Jasper readied her Thick Club, waiting for the perfect moment, they all knew this was the moment of truth. Plainstrider was desperatly trying to use her claws to slow herself down and right herself, and for a second, it looked like she was going to, until...

WHACK!

Jasper leaped forward and clonked her on the head with her club. Plainstrider staggered around for a moment or two, until finally she fell to the ground in a slump!

"Plainstrider is unable to battle, the winner is Jasper and the victory goes to Curt's team!", the Referee yelled over the roar of the stadium.

"ALRIGHT, AMAZING JOB JASPER!", Curt yelled as he ran towards Jasper to congratulate her, but Embertail was one step ahead of him. The Charmander had already embraced Jasper in a big huge, to which the Cubone did her best to look annoyed with, but if you looked closely, one could swear that she was blushing under the helmet of her's. Not even trying to suppress a smile, Curt walked over to the two hugging Pokemon and, for Jasper's sake, decided to keep all "love birds" comments to himself.

"You did a great job Jasper, all of you have, you're all really bringing your best to this tournament", Curt said to the two Pokemon who had smiles just as big as his on their face, "man, I can't believe we're in the finals, did I mention that you guy's are doing fantastic?" Embertail let out a cheerful growl while Jasper rolled her eye's, but was no doubt still smiling under that mask of her's. The battle won, Curt and his team thanked their opponent for a battle well fought, and returned to the stadium, hopefully their would be some seat's near Jacob and Dexter that were open. Nick and Jake's battle was about to start, and the more company they had to watch the battle with the better!
 
Nick just woke up from sleep, and started getting ready for today's battle against jack.
"This would be a tough one, but I still have a secret weapon that I've been saving for today!", as he got his pokemons ready he got a phone call from Nat, "Hey nick!I wish you luck!I heard jack is a though nut to crack!"


-------later------

Nick was walking around, tyr next to him, he made his way over to the stadium and looked around, "never thought I'd get this far, I'll give this battle my best!", looking over he sees jack, "ok then let's do this! Go ymir!" He shouts as a mamoswine crashes onto the field, "maaaaaamoswine!", jack shouted "let's go Scar!" As he sent his lucario.
 
"Scar lets start this battle strong its time to mega evolve!" Yelled jake as he grabbed his necklace his Lucario mimicking his actions
The crowd fell silent as energy flew from the two stones and soon encapsulated the Lucario before CRASH the energy disappeared and scar stood taller with a white aura radiating off him
"Now lets lead with Aura-sphere!" Yelled jake as a smirk grew from the left corner of his mouth
 
"Ymir! Avoid and use earthquake!" Shouted nick, mamoswines are slow pokemon so Ymir wasn't able to avoid the attack in time, but he managed an earthquake which shook the ground violently, stomping his legs on the ground harder and harder every time, nick has been waiting for this battle, he was saving a pokemon specially for jake's lucario, thinking that he has found a worthy opponent
 
"Scar use the uneven ground and get above Ymir then use flash cannon" yelled jake after his lucario had taken a little damage from the violent shaking of the ground
The Pokemon responded well using the broken rocky ground to jump high above the mammoth Pokemon then while in the air just above Ymir he released the attack
 
Ymir was struck by the attack, it wasn't going good for him but nick thought something up, "Ymir use hail!" Suddenly chunks of ice came down crashing on the unbalanced stadium, though a lot had fell on Ymir non did damage to him, "Ymir use icicle spear!" Multiple ice spikes where shot at scar.
"If my battle with Jacob was hard then this will be my biggest challenge yet"
 
Jake laughed as the hail began to fall
"Scar use flash cannon to destroy those spikes then use aura sphere!" Yelled jake, he knew scar would easily outlast the hailstorm if he played his cards right
The Pokemon responded swiftly, blasting the icicles into a thin glittering mist before launching the ball of energy straight at mamoswine. Scars ability suddenly kicked in speeding up and drastically strengthening the attack
 
Nick expected it, "Ymir use rock slide!", ymir didn't aim for scar but for the energy blast, the rocks crashed with the blast creating an explosion, "use icicle crash and stone edge!".
Ymir sent an ice beam at the hail turning some of them into giant icicles, then started to charge at scar, "does he have enough skills to deal with two moves from two different directions?" Nick thought to himself with confidence
 
(Can I just ask that you please refrain from using two moves at the same time I'm all for a defence then counter move but please dont just spam attacks like that its kinda impolite to the other role players and kinda godmody)

"Scar run protocol 7!" Yelled jake he had trained his Pokemon specially for situations like this.
Scar started to run but not toward Ymir but instead toward the rocks surrounding the battle field scar jumped high into the air soaring over the top of Ymir and straight toward the icicle crash then at the last seconds the shards simply bounced off of him an easy protect thrown up to negate the attack
"Now lucario!" Yelled jake as scar released an aura sphere aimed right at mamoswine's rear end
 
(Ok)

Ymir got struck by the attack, he was about to go on a rampage, nick noticed that and had to change tactics, if Ymir went on a rampage winning the battle would be the last thing he would have to worry about.
"Ymir come back! Go tyr!" Nick shouted as he switched pokemon, he sent out his lucario, "aura sphere!" Tyr wasn't the type that would head into battle right away, even the simplest of orders has him planning his moves carefully, as he dashed in a zigzag motion to be a harder target to hit he started to charge an energy ball which he launched at scar
 
Scar matched the attack with a sphere of his own
'I was wondering when you would join the Frey' said scar telepathically to the other lucario bowing slightly in respect to his kin 'now the real fun begins'
"I was hoping this would happen" said jake smiling in anticipation for the future battle
"Use dragon ring!" Yelled jake as scar charged and released a dragon pulse while spinning rapidly
 
"Agreed" answered tyr telepathically as he also bowed before dogging the attack, "ok then tyr, use aura flame!" Said nick, tyr had set his hand on fire for a fire punch when the flame turned blue, a aura sphere formed in the same hand, with a swift dash he had already arrived at the other end of the field, jumping of the Rock spikes from ymir's earthquake he aimed the attack at scar
 
(Remember we said no double attacks and also you can't DODGE aura sphere IT NEVER MISSES you can counter it so thats how I'm going to respond your aura sphere countered mine)
"Wait for it, wait for it, Now!" Jake yelled as tyr ran straight for scar then at the last second he threw up a protect then while the two Pokemon stood face to face he fired an aura sphere he had been charging just before using protect the blast flew from scars hands at point blank range
 
The blast struck tyr very hard, it sent him all the way back, as he stood up he noticed that his metal hand had been blasted off, "tyr! Are you okay?!" Nick ask, tyr's response was a nod.
"Ok then use sword dance and fallow with blaze kick!", tyr used sword dance and dashed, he would jump around the field and finally jumped up, did a front flip and was 2 cm away from striking scar in the back of his head with his now ablaze heels, "looks like someone was practicing with freya" nick chuckled
 
"Well this sure is interesting, eh guy's", Curt asked the rest of the group (he made a mental note to pay Jacob back for saving them some seats). Embertail was already standing up, yelling various growls of encouragement to both teams, while Jasper was one of those people (Pokemon?) who enjoyed yelling out advice on what she thought they should and calling them idiots for not doing what she told them, as though they could her hear among the screams and yelled of the rest of the crowd. Curt had to admit, his team was certainly a colorful one, and one he would trade for the world.

"Pretty neat huh guy's?", Curt asked Embertail and Jasper. He got an excited growl of agreement from Embetail and a focus nod from Jasper, who didn't even turn her head away from the fight. The battle had been pretty intense so far, he had admired that Jake and Scar had managed to put so much pressure on Ymir so early on in the match. Though Mamoswines we're very durable Pokemon, Scar's speed appeared to be proving too much for Ymir to handle, Nick made the smart move and called him back for now. Curt was impressed that the Lucario had done so much damage to such a powerful Pokemon so easily, but then again, what else could he expect from a Mega Evolved Pokemon? Curt, in fact his whole team was, stunned to see the Lucario Mega Evolve, Key Stones and Mega Stones being astronomically rare as they were, but he had to wonder: where did they acquire such a item? Perhaps he picked on up at The Glimmering Caverns a few months ago like Cassie did, they'd have to ask him later.

"What do you think Jacob, Dexter, pretty cool, huh?", Curt asked the other two spectator's sitting near him, "was not expecting a Mega Evolution, you usually only see those in the final rounds of a Pokemon League Championship, hehe, oh, by the way, you never told me what kind of Pokemon Dexter is, I don't think we've ever seen a Pokemon like him before?" Curt's attempt at small talk were partly out of trying to keep him mind focused and thinking, he had a habit of just zoning out on a battle and not really analyzing what the fighter's were doing, what their strengths were, their possible weaknesses, ect. Taking a moment to chat with the rest of the group helped keep him focused. To be honest, Curt was starting to feel a bit nervous, Ben and Jessica were tough, but Jake's Team and Nick's Team...dang, they seemed to be on a whole 'nother level. Curt was glad his team seemed to be bringing their A-game in this tournament, because they sure as hell were going to need to be at the top of their game if they were going to have a chance at beating either of these mighty Pokemon teams.
 
Scar ducked but couldn't avoid the full attack, he had allows shim self to become cocky a trait both jake and scar had agreed to avoid
"Use aura sphere while he has his back to you!" Yelled jake as scar rapidly charged and unleashed another boosted energy blast aim once agin for tyr's back
 
---at the stadium---
Nat watched the battle with awe in his eyes, not noticing curt and Jacob next to him as he started to cheer for nick, "go nick you can do it!!!"

---back in the field---
Tyr would have been long gone if it wasn't for his reflexes, the same reflexes that saved him now, with a swift move he created a bone of aura energy and used bone rush to swat away the aura sphere, he then got out of range, staying close to a lucario is a big mistake.
Tyr was against a disadvantage so he did the one thing nick never expected, he started taunting the opponent, "I heard that mega lucario's have high physical power, then why are you using special moves? Is it possible that you are scared of a lucario with a missing hand?"
 
'Nothing scares me and if you must know why i use special attacks it because of my almian heritage, in Almia lucarios are trained to use special moves and mever let your opponent through. so if anything i pity you without two arms you can't properly channel your aura' scar laughed as Tyr tried desperately to get under his skin but it fail
Scar started running jump into from rock to rock soaring all over the field moving so fast and erratically that no one could see where he truly was
Suddenly an aura sphere appeared mere metres from tyr and it was moving fast
 
Those last words struck tyr like venom, he knew that he wouldn't last long so he telepathically asked nick "is it time?", nicks answer was "he passed the test, it is time" with that nick shouted "tyr come back! Go Odin!", the lucario disappeared and the aura sphere crashed into the wall, the pokemon that replaced have him was an alakazam.
"Ok Odin it's time to mega evolve!", and with that the alakazam started to glow until the transformation was successful, "you must be a strong one to make nick use me, but your against a big disadvantage and I feel pity for you, I'll make this as painless as possible" said Odin telepathically to scar, and then looked up to jake
 
"Scar you've done enough already lets swap you out so you can recover and return all refreshed later in the battle" said jake as he withdraw scar
"Go Crimson" yelled jake as he threw a slightly worn pokeball high into the air
'Greninja!' yelled the shiny pokemon as it appeared in a red flash from the pokeball.
"Crimson use night slash"
 
"Odin use teleport and follow with dazzling gleam!", Odin stood there, charging up the pink energy sphere, as he did so his ability started to kick in, slowly turning him from a psychic type into a fairy type, the night slash was a millimeter away from him when he teleported behind the shiny pokemon, pointing the sphere at the greninja's head point blank range and fired
 
(thats not mega alakzams ability its ability is trace which changes his ability to that of the pokemon it was vsing when it mega evolved which was lucario so its new ability is adaptability)

Crimson ducked the attack clipped his head but he avoided part of the damage and now with odin at point blank range he used night slash again
 
Jacob nodded along to curt, but he was deeply interested in the battle. The Mega-Lucario had peaked Jacob's interest, and now the Mega-Alakazam was pulling him in deeper. These two trainers appeared much more powerful; they were on another plain. No wonder Nero had had such problems with Nick's pokemon.

Jacob looked over at Dexter, who was also engrossed in the battle. He was so much so that Curt's question deflected off of him, and Jacob had to answer.

"Yea I'm sure he's interested," he said to Curt, as he watched the electric pokemon's eyes go back and forth and Jake and Nick's pokemon traded hits. "And Dexter here is a Helioptile; it's an electric-normal type pokemon from Kalos. The only one of its type! I guess, unless you count his pre-evolution." Jacob was rather proud of his pokemon; they made him appear worldly, even though he had received most of them as gifts, and the ones he had captured had all been from the Kalos region.

Jacob turned back to the battle to see Jake's Greninja throwing a powerful night slash attack against Nick's Alakazam. The battle was certainly fast-paced.
