Steely was trying to figure out why she had entered herself in another tournament. She had managed to convince herself that she was never going to better then failure every single time and that there was really no point in parading around with her pokemon and trying to make things different. That and personality change or not, she still hated crowds. Hate. Joule and Zelos had no such reservations, with the former bounding circles around Steely as they walked and barking merrily. The latter waddled near them, pink and white and black and odd looking like he always was. But Zelos thought he was handsome and that was all that mattered. Only real men were pink. Kyriaki didn't even seem to see the crowd, or he just didn't care. His claws were draped over Steely's shoulders, and his fins clinging to her sides. She could hear him faintly hissing, though wasn't sure if it was because he was trying to stay quiet or if the sound of the crowd was drowning her out. "So what number do we got what number do we got, I can go find it if you want, I can find it!" Joule barked as she darted and danced around her, hopping on her back feet and wagging her tail. "Number two, and it's right there. Save your energy, geez," Steely laughed, and Joule did her best to listen by seating herself next to Steely and wiggling eagerly anyways. Zelos smiled toothily and crossed his arms, and Kyriaki just hissed. Forever. Steely wondered if he even had to breathe. "Alright, let's see what we're facing," she sighed, knealing a little to pet Joule and be soothed by the feeling of electricity and the crackle of the static against her skin. Yeah I won't be able to come to the library this weekend so here have a rushed post! Edited by Steel Cerberus, Nov 23 2010, 05:53 PM.

(0.3 . Enjoy your cookie cutter mod to get you started.)The noise as you stepped out was deafening - the prospect of meeting their favourite pro trainers had drawn thousands of people to the stadium. Once you had taken your position at one end of the field, the announcer's voice boomed over the loudspeakers. "Ladies and Gentlemen! Next up to challenge the pros is a trainer you may recognise. She's placed in Escennia and Slumber, hailing from Kevin Baconville, give it up for Steely Cerberus!" The crowd let out an encouraging cheer, and applauded. "And introducing her first opponent. Grand finalist in last season's Redhurst Royal Rumble, all the way from Pontarctica, let's hear it for Nikolai Chevsky!" Across from you stood a long-haired man in his early thirties, who waved to the crowd when they erupted into wild cheers. As per Little Cup rules, Nikolai was tasked to release his pokémon first, so he duly obliged. He nodded respectfully towards you, then called out his pokémon. "Harmony! Cuda! Let's go!" Flicking two pokéballs into the arena, they both burst, revealing a Kricketot and a Remoraid. They took up position on their half of the arena, and prepared themselves for battle. The referee situated at the side of the field relayed instructions as to how the battle should progress next. "The challenger may now choose her two pokémon for this round, and may also call out the first commands."

.2 ![]() Steely's Trio Steely squinted, trying not to wince against the noise. That was one of the main things she hated about these things. They were loud. She smiled the best she could when her name was announced, lifting her hat off of her head in some kind of greeting to the crowd. She could remember the last time she was doing something like this, and the crippling nervousness, but today she just felt tired. Zelos posed and puffed his chest out, grinning and winking at any ladies that he saw. Joule was just barking and dancing in circles with excitement, and Kyriaki continued to hiss like a deranged something or other that hisses. Steely bobbed her head back at him, waiting to see what he had. The cricket earned a baffled stare, but the fish was interesting. She squinted at it, wondering how best to deal with the pair. "Alright... Joule, Kyriaki, you're on," "Oh boy oh boy oh boy, I'mma get the fish!" Joule barked and leapt into the arena, tail wagging in a blur. She panted merrily and waited for orders, dropping down on her front legs into the classic play pose. Kyriaki was much less joyful about the whole thing, climbing down from Steely's shoulders and scuttling into the arena. He clicked his claws and eyed the other two like a lion eyeing a bunch of gazelle. He wanted blood and lungs. Sweet, sweet lungs. "X-Scissor for the cricket Kyriaki, but don't try to kill anything will you. Joule, Discharge, first on the fish, then the bug. Kyr, if there's anything left over after that, you can take care of it," The bug scuttled forward first, followed by Joule loping and still grinning merrily as she started to crackle with electricity.

0.3 ![]() It was over in an instant. Nikolai only had time to give Cuda his order, "Bubblebeam!", before electricity flew after one Recalling his two fallen Pokemon, Nikolai gave you one last look. "While I do admire your courage in giving the order for that attack, there are consequences that you must deal with. Try to think before you act that may result in your opponent's favor. You got off lucky this time, but you might not be so lucky next time." With that, he exited the stage. "And we have our winner for this battle! Let's hear it for Steely Cerberus!" The crowd erupted into a frenzy of cheering and waving.
You gain 3.0 ! You won the battle!

.3 ![]() (...Discharge hits everyone on the field but the user. I totally knew that, promise,) Steely secretly thought that Kyriaki was going to be kind of irritated when he was revived, but that was all part of the plan. The one that she just came up with, yeah. There was no danger at the moment, either way, since the battle was over as quickly as it had began. Bad luck on the other guy's part, really. "Yeah, thanks," was all Steely could think of to say, waving a little as the guy turned and stormed off. Well that had been kind of stupid, but it turned out alright. Steely turned and walked off the platform to get Kyriaki healed up before the next round. ROUND TWO, DING. "Right, discharge is an area move so we've got to be careful of that," she was telling herself just as much as she was telling Joule trotting next to her. Kyriaki moodily sat on her back, claws holding on to her shoulders, and eyestalks peering moodily over her shoulders. At least it wasn't a laser, he was thinking. "Right, so let's see what we're facing next," she said to her trio, heading back into the arena to face their second opponent. |

(0.2 )Round Two approached soon enough. Some of the challengers had already left the cup, having lost their opening match against the pro trainers. You were one of the lucky and skilled trainers to make it to the second bout, and the reaction from the crowd as you walked out into the arena suggested that you had won quite a few of them over. As you took your position at one end of the field, the announcer's voice boomed out over the speakers. "Ladies and gentlemen! It's time for the second round of matches in the Little Cup!" More cheering. "In her first battle, she defeated Nikolai Chevsky in stunning fashion with her team of Electrike and Anorith. Presenting the challenger, from Kevin Baconville, Steely Cerberus!" The crowd cheered, louder than they had for your first battle. "And introducing her second opponent. The man who won this year's Escennia Grass-type Invitational, from Little Hillmoss, it's Big Zeke Brannick!" Emerging from the tunnel opposite you was a powerfully built dark-skinned man, who took the roaring crowd in his stride, waving to them as he took up position at the other end of the field. His hand plucked two pokéballs from the belt on his faded jeans, and he held them up so that you could see them. "So you beat Nikolai, huh? That's impressive - he's good." He smirked. "But I'm better. Joey, Hunter, you're up!" The two pokéballs burst open to reveal a Rattata and a Turtwig, and both pokémon readied themselves for battle. As before, the referee indicated that now was the time to send out your own pair of pokémon, and to issue the first commands.

.3 ![]() Even while they walked to the stage, Steely continued repeating (Discharge is an area move, stupid stupid dumb,) in her head over and over again, fearful that she'd forget it again in the coming match. She didn't realize that it wouldn't even be a thought in her mind in a few moments. The roaring crowd caught her by surprise if only because she could hear people cheering for her this time. She could even pick out a cheer for the bug on her back. "Wave to your adoring fans, Kyr, looks like you've gained a few," she said back to him just barely over the roar of the crowd as she reached to grab him. He clung to her arm, and shyly waggled a claw over his head. Joule seemed like she was trying to match the level of noise everyone else was making by barking as loud as she could, as much as she could. Zelos tapped her on the shoulder until he got her attention, and held her mouth shut with his hands when she looked at him. Shuuush, please? Steely still had Kyriaki hanging from her arm when their next opponent came out. He seemed cockier then the last guy. Just a little. "Oi Zelos, wanna show this guy what you're made of?" The small pink and black and white pokemon grinned and entered the arena, holding his hands clasped above his head and waving them as if he had already won. He waved and smiled as he walked in, winking at any girls he saw watching him. Steely just rolled her eyes and leaned over to set Kyriaki down, "You seem to be my weapon of choice here, Kyr. Just try to keep Zelos safe, alright? Slash up the turtle first," she said, grinning. The shrimpbug scuttled after his battling partner, and zeroed in on his first target. He was the first one off when the battle started, scuttling across the arena with his claws raised. They stayed up until he reached the turtle, and then he brought them down in a brutal cross-slash before scuttling away. Zelos watched with his mouth hanging open until Steely or some other outside force snapped him out of it. "Zelos, strong arm the rat until it stops moving, quick!" He waddle-charged in as well, flexing his manly muscles in his little cute croc arms.

Where most trainers took the time to set their stage before striking - laying out a web of nasty stat effects, or boosting their fighters' defenses - Zeke Brannick went for the all-out offensive. Zelos was still waving to his adoring fans when Zeke issued his first command. "Joey, strike and return! Hunter - Leaf Storm at the Totodile." "And the second battle has begun!" the announcers boomed. "On the east end we have competitor Steely, with her signature colored Totodile. The crowd seems to be loving him!" And it was true; the longer Zelos' grinning pink face flashed on the jumbotron the louder the crowd cheered. His flexing nearly brought the audience to tears. When the enemy's Rattata rushed forward at an almost impossible speed, throwing himself against Zelos' chest for a sneak attack, the crowd reacted poorly. "Zeke Brannick's Rattata used QUICK ATTACK!" described the male announcer with zeal. "And he's attempting to flee -- but what's this! YEOOOOWWCH that must have hurt! Brannick's rattata caught the tail end of a SUPERPOWER. That Totodile sure is something!" "- It's super effective!" Martha added, over the roars of the crowds. The bright yellow lights surrounding Steely's arena were flickering in praise. Brannick's tactic to strike and return - two successive quick attacks, the latter aimed back towards the sidelines - was thwarted by Zelos' quick reflexes. He pounded at the mouse pokémon's torso with great power. The Rattata leaped away in pain, probably broken on the inside, limping as it prepared its second strike. Meanwhile Kyr was zipping across the battlefield. He was shockingly swift as he scurried through the grass and the commentators didn't fail to notice. "The Anorith is going in for the kill - he's lifted his claws - and there it is! Anorith used X-SCISSOR on Brannick's Turtwig! It's super-effective!" "Tough luck for Brannick here," one announcer offered. "Trainer Steely is making quick work of her enemy's team by exploiting their weaknesses." "I wouldn't speak too soon, Martha - Brannick's Turtwig is preparing its attack -" "Now, Hunter!" shouted Zeke. The Turtwig released an explosion of sharp leaves aimed directly at Zelos, and then immediately withdrew by pulling its head and arms into its hard shell. Strike and return seemed to be a favorite tactic of Brannick's. Kyr struck again, delivering an X-Scissor across the Turtwig's brown shell, but the Turtwig's vulnerable flesh was out of range. The leaf storm raged forward and lashed at Zelos mercilessly, causing the Totodile to yelp in pain. Both parties sustained immense damage. Zelos attempted to strike the fleeing Rattata with his tail but the little mouse was too swift. Rattata stood at the far end of the field, panting; Turtwig was concealed inside his shell."Shouldn't be long now," the male announcer proclaimed. "At the end of the first round Steely leads with a tremendous advantage!" The crowd seemed pleased. Zeke, on the other hand, was cursing under his breath.
+0.3 for you

.3 ![]() Even though their opponents should have been destroyed in one shot each, they were still up and moving. Steely frowned at this, pondered why the universe wasn't being normal, and shrugged it off. Her hands were still in her pockets, and she could feel the star piece in there, reminding her that not everything went as it was supposed to. "Again!" Kyriaki was already in motion, having never stopped his endless journey through the grass. He weaved through it quickly and quietly, nearly flying over the ground. The bug did appear to fly for a moment, leaping out of the grass and slashing again with his claws. He was intent on destroying them both, even if it went down to just him. Zelos wasn't going to go down without a fight, though. He shook his head and grumbled, looking up at the rat, "Alright, that's it," he took a deep breath in through his nose and started to flail around, making himself one frantic, flailing mass of arms, tail, and water. Steely buried her face in her palm and hoped that Kyriaki knew what he was doing, at least. It wasn't like the bug had any problem ripping things to shreds, as far as she could tell so far.

.3 for doing what shoulda been done last round.Fanfare! "Holy crap finally," Steely sighed, seeing the carnage finally come to an end. That took a whole round longer then it should have, she figured. But it was over now. She recalled Zelos and Kyriaki scuttled back over to her, climbing up her pant leg and holding onto her back, hissing over her shoulder at the person across the arena. Steely remembered how smug he had been before, and just saluted with a smirk. "So much for better, huh?" she turned and headed out of the arena to get Zelos healed. Kyriaki waved his claw in a threatening way, or at least it would have been threatening if he wasn't an adorable shrimpbug. Stepping into the final round Steely still had Kyriaki hanging off of her shoulders like a stone cape, and was thinking about how he'd likely be tossed into this last round too, barring a pair of steel types showing up or something. It didn't bother her at all, though, and he certainly enjoyed it. "One more battle and then we're done. Surprised we got this far, but it's all thanks to you," she patted one of the bug's eyestalks and he hissed much like he always did, "At least you seem like you're having fun." He acted like he was going to jump down and scuttle into the arena, but she caught him before he did, "Let's see who we're facing, shall we?" And well, there was nothing they could really do but to wait for their final opponent to appear. FINAL ROUND GO. |

0.3 ![]() "Fucking hell, I didn't agree to do this shit... why the fuck am I even here?" a dark voice muttered from the other side of the stadium. He didn't sound happy. In fact, it sounded like he was happy once a solar sweep... and that was being generous. "Introducing..." Suddenly, there was a young boy with black hair, grey pants and a black shirt with the grey symbol for Cancer, the zodiac sign, coming up to the fighting stage... wait a freakin' second. Did that kid have grey skin and candy corn horns? Were those even real? Whatever. Obviously, something didn't make sense here anyway. Walking beside him were an Anorith and a Krabby, and this guy looked like he meant some serious shit. Oh gog. It's him. "The Knight of Blood - KARKAT VANTAS!" The crowd went absolutely batshit insane at the screaming fanboy announcer's yelling. In fact, the best way to describe the way they were acting would be 2x facepalm combo-inducing, and that's all there is to say on the matter. After all, it was Karkat. Everyone goes crazy for Karkat, dudes and chicks alike-- not like gender matters where he comes from-- and quite frankly that crazy is usually deserved. Stupid crazy Karkat. "Hey, you," Karkat said from across the ring. "Send your shit out and let's get this over with." Game's on. We all know he'll fuck you up. Can you beat the Knight of Blood?
6.0 so far

.3 ![]() Oh my goodness. Shit just got real and there's no team to pose with. Steely blinked a few times, and suddenly felt the need to grab a cane and thump this guy in the head with it. Which made less then zero sense. "...I guess I'm 0k with this," she blinked, noticing something weird with her voice for a second, but dismissed it. Battle to be had now. She could dwell on the weirdness later. Or just flat forget about it. Forgetting about it sounded like a way better idea. "Alright, looks like you're staying back this last time, Kyr. Joule, Zelos, let's go!" she sent out her two pokemon, both the oddly colored critters she brought with her. Zelos smiled and flexed like he did before, and Joule ran around in excited circles, barking at the crowd. The most serious bastard in the mutiverse against the least serious crazy girl. This'll be fun. "Zelos, Aqua Tail against the anorith. Joule, paralyze the crab and then discharge," she said after she'd thought about it. It was risky, but regardless, she thought this would be over in one round, regardless of who won. Or it might be, who knows. We'll see what happens.

0.3 ![]() Hold on... Did she just sound perfectly like Aradia? That was weird. He was on this stupid Earth place, not back on Alternia or in their lab in the Veil. Unless, somehow, she was connected to Trollian and Aradia was fucking with her mind Vriska-style.... entirely possible, all things considered. Their group was one of the most potent psychic forces available. After all- hang on a sec. DOUBLE FACEPALM COMBO x2. Focus on the fucking fight, Karkat. Then, all of a sudden, all hell broke loose in the arena as Thresh and Claw leapt out to go and face down Zelos and Joule. As soon as they jumped over the barrier, the fight bell went ding, much like a brawing boxing match. Nobody was going to be holding back this time, and Karkat had the advantage of speed, for the most part. A great advantage to have, too, because a lot of fights usually went to the guy who could get the first hit in. The Anorith was buzzing around, ready to get a hit or two in on some human assholes. "Thresh, X-Scissor on that Electrike! Claw, follow up with a Crabhammer!" The two warriors proclaimed their approval of this tactic, then charged in the perform them. The Anorith, who was the fastest one on that field, struck Joule with a doubly-cutting pair of claws mounted ont e front of its tough body. Of course, Joule wasn't about to take that lying down. The Electrike had every intention to strike back... but not at the Anorith. Instead, it released a massive bolt of electricity right for the Krabby, enough to stun its nervous systems and shut them down as a cruel response. That, in turn, allowed Zelos the time he needed to charge in and smack the Anorith with a water-charged tail; the powerful weapon was enough to rock the Anorith off its little feet and onto its back, where it stayed. The single blow had been strong enough to knock Thresh out. One opponent was down. Responsively, the Krabby looked at Joule, expecting to get some form of vengeance by smacking it around with a powerful claw. Unfortunately it couldn't feel its body to do it, no matter how hard it tried. Ripe for the finishing blow in the form of a Discharge, in fact.... Zelos and the Krabby were both standing up one second as the brightest glow in the middle of the battlefield suddenly emanated from Joule's body. That one glow suddenly expanded to a crackling ball of energy that engulfed everything short of the two trainers on opposite sides, enough to take in the paralysed Krabby and the victorious Totodile. One second, they were standing. The next, Joule had taken even his own ally out in a brazen display of power against two Water-type opponents. The only creature left standing in the arena was Joule, and the surprised crowd went crazy at the sudden defeat of Karkat and the rapid victory of Steely. "We have a winner!" could be heard over the din, and Karkat, in true Karkat style, recalled his two Pokémon and looked to Steely. "Hey, you're not a total fucking failure. Good job, dumbshit!" And then, like the sore loser he was, flipped Steely the bird and walked out. Well wasn't that nice?
