Welcome to Gaia! ::

Heading deeper into the cavern Victoria would abruptly hear the clicking of gears, the sound of ticking growing louder as he walked into an oddly bright section of the cavern. On her left she would see exposed gears turning and stalling just beyond the rock wall, and a little father ahead would be another, yet smaller clock face. To the right of the child would be the source of the light, two large metal prongs similar to lightning rods which coursed with electricity; and between them was a Magnemite, the electrical current blasting into one side of it's magnets and out the other.

The Pokemon's solitary eye watched the child in absolute silence.

Fable growled again, though this time not loud enough to be an attack. It was a sound of irritation rather then ferocity. Setting his feet against the ground, the Charmander grabbed for the end of his tail. He was going to have to do something stupid...really, and truly stupid. Especially for one of his kind.

The flame at the tip of a Charmander's tail was the source of their life, extinguishing that was akin to ripping their heart out...and he was about to use it to defend himself.

Pulling his tail forward, Fable directed the torch like tip toward the Durant's mouth. He was going to get a mouth full of fire before he'd get a mouth full of him!

::Claudandas gritted fangs, looking back down earthwards... that Omanyte had a look in its eye he didn't like one bit...:: [Can't you fly any faster?]

[I don't fly, I glide!]

::The Omanyte had turned to keep an eyes on them, but while it had certainly was intent on taking out the Gligar, Jasmine had enough time, she'd gotten herself up, she'd put aside her crutch just now... and was pulling herself along by the trees... this was far too close to call... she saw her take aim...::

::And then she flung herself, shoulder first, effectively enough to simply smack the Omanyte's shell, looking to send its aim off from Lindbergh!::

::Looking down below, Claudandas saw the girl certainly had the right idea... but he looked down to the Gligar:: [Faster!]

[Easier for you to say!] ::Lindbergh hissed and heading onward, swerving round, trying to fly under...::

::When Claudandas suddnly leapt, tossing the bat to one side further away from the attack while he leapt to another branch, hopefully the momentum was enough to push Lindbergh out further out of range!::

[I hate you both!]

((Roll 1, Jasmine, Roll 2, Lindbergh, Roll 3, Claudandas))

(Wow on that end)

The Omanyte's move would fail thanks to the two interferences. As the bubbles that had been right on target would miss only be a hair breathe as the two manages to push the pokemon's aim off ...and the cat manages to save gligar from the ricochet that occurred as the water bounces off of the trees.

It was that simple bit that saved his life, but the Omanyte wasn't done. It was suffering badly from the poison, but it wasn't going to surrender just yet as it turns again.

Tired of the girl's interferences he would aim again ....though an idea in his head as he fired at Jasmine and missed as the water would hit the wood behind her and bend and turn and twist. Each bit of water becoming a net that threaten to hit no one, but at the same time that leaping and jumping stream threaten to hit anyone that got into it's range.

This was the Omanyte's way of evening up the odds as he counter attacked with Bubblebeam one more

((So written, lowest roll takes a hit if no one out rolls Omanyte's counter-attack)

Though the Durant would ignore the sounds of the growl as he simply looked for a way to put out that flame. His own fear of the flames for the moment would keep him at bay as he turns around and starts to kick up sand at the Charmander ...hoping to lower his tail flame by suffocating it. A snicker on his face at the thought of what he was doing ...as each stoke of sand would hit the air and fly towards his opponent.

Raven and Fable saw it at once, the weakness of it's stance as it turned away from them. The major flaw in it's own Sand-Attack. This was their chance. "Fable, do it now!" The boy barked, sweeping his hand through the air as he gave the command. They couldn't waste this opportunity.

Fable reacted at once, launching himself forward upon all fours, tail swaying behind him as the flame grew bigger and brighter. Rather then run to avoid the flying sand, the reptile was running directly into it! True the attack was meant to blind the scarred Charmander, but while the sand was still being kicked up it blocked off the Durant's vision as well.

Eyes burning as fiercely as his tail, leaped toward the Durant. Rightening himself mid-air as he passed through the sand, the Charmander swung his tail forward, and his arm back. His claws ignited instantly, closing into a fist as he hurled it toward his armored adversary. It was time for this bug to fry beneath the power of his Fire Punch!

(19 - 8 ) + (7 - 10) = 8 x 4 = 32 DMG

(19 - 8 + 7 - 11 = 7 x 4 = 28dmg}

Hp: -14


It was that moment of stupidity. A moment when insight was blinded by rage as the flames would billow up and cut into the Durant like a knife through butter. The attacks, the taunting it all flares into the pokemon's fist as the Durant screamed in pain as it reared backwards and the flames burned him almost completely into nothing as what was left ...nothing but ash pelted the ground as the bug was consumed.

The match was over, but it was a hard fought one indeed.
