Mephistopheles vs Millie [FIN]

Roll an Eleven: Canyon Field: The canyon walls towers high towards the ceiling while the ground sinks downwards several levels, making the top and bottom of the field very difficult to see without special equipment. The cliff faces are very steep with little ridge support for grabbing and climbing; on top of that, the rock faces are very damp which makes grabbing and holding on very difficult. A few skinny trees and roots jut out from the cliff and allow smaller, nimbler pokemon to grab and swing around. At the very bottom of the canyon’s long drop is a deep pool of water. Keeping up is difficult for trainers on this particular battlefield, so stadium officials have set up a special view screen on each of the trainer platforms. A mini camera will follow your pokemon around while it battles (of course, it’s programmed to back off when a pokemon does an attack) and the view screen will enable trainers to issue commands to their companions via microphone. This field gives a 25 HP attack boost to FLYING and ROCK type attacks.

Mephistopheles gave Lenore a short wave before floating over the canyons. He kept watch for his opponent.

Well this was a familiar field. Lizzie was going to be fighting with a different Pokemon though, and with different stakes. She sent out her Milotic, who landed on a tree jutting out of the side. Her body was draped all over it like a giant snake.

Lizzie knew about Duskulls and how they liked using status moves. And she wasn't going to let this one use any on Millie.

"Protect yourself with Safeguard." She commanded. The Milotic could barely move on her little patch of land but she could do this. Her scales shimmered brightly and casted a veil of light over herself.

Mephistopheles watched calmly as the milotic set up a safeguard. No matter. "Greetings. I am Mephistopheles, but you may call me Mephisto if you so choose. I shall be your opponent for the duration of this battle. Good luck."

His eye glowed hypnotically as he sought to reestablish the milotic's opinion of him. It was a move he despised using, finding it dishonorable, but he needed to win for Lenore.

Millie bowed her head to return the politeness but she didn't dare to meet the Duskull's eyes. She knew that whenever something started flashing, it meant that something bad was going to happen unless she didn't look too much at it.

"Atta girl." Lizzie said quietly. "Use Hydro Pump."

When Millie turned to face Mephisto, she immediately fired a powerful barrage of water at him. Whatever he was trying to do wouldn't matter if he was blasted with such an attack.

As the water came rushing at him, his eye glowed suggestingly. His was struck dead on by the water, dropping slightly before regaining his balance.

This time Millie did meet his gaze and she had the most horrible feeling in her gut. Lizzie sighed as she knew that this meant. "Go for an Ice Beam then."

Mephistopheles phased out, allowing the ice beam to pass directly through him. His eye glowed even as he did so.

Millie hissed as the Duskull piled on even more status inflictions. It was a smart move but Millie was frustrated all the same. She took out her anger with another cascading Hydro Pump.

Mephistopheles was blasted in the face by the jet of water, falling backwards. His eye glowed as shadows came forth to cloak him.

"Oh that isn't going to work." Lizzie was talking about Millie's Hydro Pump attack but then she realized that the Duskull's strategy wasn't going to work either. "Millie, use Haze."

The Milotic spewed a black smoke that surrounded both herself and Mephisto. She felt herself returning to normal and she wondered why her trainer didn't think of this earlier.

((I believe Torment and Disable counts as status but if they don't let me know. XP))

((I would think they don't, given the battle format page, but it doesn't matter. This match means nothing, after all. :3 ))

Mephistopheles' eye glowed as he watched the shadows disappear. It was a minor set back.

"Not again." Lizzie sighed. That small victory disappeared very quickly. As long as they kept up the barrage though, the battle should be good. "Go for another Hydro Pump." She told Millie and she obliged with another watery blast.
