((Before I start I'll state this...can you do something about how you display your Pokemon's stats? It's actually physically painful to look at the way you've set it up. sweatdrop ))
Jake's reply would not come in words, but rather in the actions of the room around him. Slowly the shadows of the dark roam would begin to lengthen, wisping forward like smoke, dancing about his feet as the body of it began to bloat out the world like a thick fog. Before the child knew it, the room around him had disappeared, consumed by an all encompassing darkness. There was no light in this place....no hope...and yet he would find he could see perfectly. Were he to hold his hand in front of his face he'd see it clear as day. So too would his Pokemon remain clearly in view...but nothing else.
"My my...seems we have quite a few Caterpie caught in the web today" A voice mused, the tone low and sinister as it seemed to come from everywhere at once "I wonder how you'll bleed. Fast or slow? In silent agony or ear splitting horror?" The sourceless voice would continue, the madness behind it becoming ever more apparent "Hehehe...oh what fun we shall have....hahaha....GYAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!" As the maniacal laughter rose to a mad cackle it seemed to resound within the dark space, no doubt pounding away at the eardrums of those present.
"So tell me boy, are you ready?" The voice questioned, the temperature in the room slowly dropping below zero "Would you like the tutorial? Or can we skip right to the funeral!?"

(My bad sweatdrop I changed the colors to black and blue. If it's still too bright, it's cool if you edit this post and change it.) It wasn't long before his question was answered, although it was strangely in the dramatic way he chose to remember thing's. Jake only watched in half surprise/half horror as the shadows of the Battle Room started moving towards him and Jay, as if slowly consuming the entire room. He closed his eyes, unsure of whether or not he had zoned out, and started imagining about his initiation, though the faint pecks of his Rufflet said otherwise. Jake opened his eyes, rubbing his legs in pain, looking down to see what his Rufflet was yanking at. His eyes widened at the sight before him. The shadows, it had gotten to them and had started wrapping around their bodies. One blink. The moving shadows were still there, and his Rufflet was still yanking at his jeans. Two blinks. Same scene. 'I must be dreaming...Yeah I must be, there's no way to explain this other then it being my dramatic way of imagining things.' He opened his eyes after that last thought, only to see nothing but complete darkness, yet at the same time, he could still see.
Jake glanced down at his Rufflet, who had stopped pecking at his now slightly torn jeans, and had started glancing around the room. It was obvious the bird had forgotten it's fear, it's emotions lost to curiosity of the room. "Yeah, it's weird isn't it. That's just how I remember thing's." The boy glanced around the dark room, unmoving. He was now at the peak where he realized he wasn't dreaming, but until some source came out to confirm it, he wouldn't believe it. As if he was heard, a low voice he would considered to be creepy rang out around the room, taunting him. Jake watched with dazed eyes, as his Rufflet glanced around, as if trying to locate the source, but unable to. A maniacal laughter rang out a little bit after the taunting was done, and Jake along with his Rufflet, Jay, covered their ears until the noise was gone. A shiver went down his spine. at the next words of the mysterious voice, before his mood completely changed. "Would you like the tutorial? Or can we skip right to the funeral?" Jake repeated the words to himself, rubbing his arms as the temperature started to drop. Those words, had confirmed his doubts about whether or not he was dreaming. There was no way this was some crazy fantasy from his mind, there was no way, no matter how much of a sinister voice he could ever imagine, no matter what the setting was, that a question like that could still pull off a haunting scene.
'Everything feels corny now...' Making up his mind, Jake answered the voice with a slight smile. "Let's pull off the Tutorial first, I'm a little rusty on the rules for battling." Now that he knew this wasn't some weird fantasy, but just some weird initiation that totally killed the mood, might as well try to ruin whoever this was fun by having the person instruct him. Jay glanced at his Trainer noticing the change of attitude Jake showed. He didn't really know what was going on, but if his Owner was no longer a scared pup, then there was no need for him to be. A look of determination in his eyes, the Rufflet jumped stretching out its limbs.

((Thank you, it's fine now; and sorry for not replying sooner. I was about to, but then the dinner bell struck. ))
"Blood turns to rust on deaths blade. You're being rusty won't change by a quick lesson! GYAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!" The Phantom voice cackled, echoing clearly in the darkness although the source remained unknown. "So shall we get down to business? To start a battle you must first call out a Pokemon" The voice instructed, though a sinister undertone remained evident throughout "It seems today we'll be serving white meat! GYAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!" Again the vice would cackle, clearly remarking on the avian heritage of Jake's only Pokemon.
Across from the boy an odd blue patch would appear upon the floor; and although the glow did give off it's own light, it would not pierce the darkness, The gloom would pervade all, even as the glow intensified, eventually igniting into a flickering spectral flame. From flaming cracks in the ground a thick white substance would begin to bubble up, oozing across the floor and gathering itself in a pile.
The flames would begin to focus then, conjoining rather then spreading into a single flickering fire. Beneath it the white substance would rise, taking solid shape beneath the flame as two bright green eyes formed. A Litwick, one which shone brighter then most of it's kind. The Pokemon's waxy body seemed to sparkle faintly with it's appearance.
Thick globs of his candle shaped body melting to the floor, the Litwick would remain where he stood, eyes narrowed in determination...yet he would make no attempt to strike; at least for the moment.
"In battle speed is everything, the Pokemon with the greatest speed will always strike first" The Phantom voice would explain, his voice oddly sane when all things were considered...at least until..."So then, strike out at your opponent...before he chars that little chicken of yours! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!"
Litwick [M]
Anima, Lv 2
Nature: Gentle
Stats:
HP:14/PP:18/ATK:6/DEF:6/SPD:6/SP-ATK:8/SP-DEF:7
MOVES:
- Ember
- Haze
EXP: 0/100((All right, now it's time I explained the mechanics of battle. The first thing I will mention is also the simplest. At the beginning of a battle, and if you have any intention of battling, you must post the stats of your Pokemon as I have above. Note it doesn't have to be precisely as I have above, your own version of it is fine, but all the information above must be posted.))
((Now as you should well know, this guild uses a turn-based combat system. As I explained above the first attack will go to the Pokemon with the higher SPD stat. In the case of a Draw, that is both Pokemon having equal SPD, both Pokemon shall attack at the same time. The winner of the confrontation will then take their Defense Turn, and the loser will Attack.))
((Now let me better explain the turns themselves. As I've said there are Attack and Defense turns. Simply put this means that when you Attack, your opponent will Defend. Likewise, when your opponent Attacks, you will Defend.))
((For example. In this battle you have the first attack, this means the turn order will go something like this...))
Attack ----------- Defense
Jay ------------------ Anima
Anima ------------------ Jay
Jay ------------------ Anima
Anima ------------------ Jay
((This order will repeat itself until one of the two Pokemon is defeated.))
((Moving along I shall now explain Accuracy. During each of your turns, regardless of whether it is Attack or Defense, both you and your opponent will roll 1D20 using the "Roll Dice" option under "Post Action". This is known as an Accuracy Roll.))
((For an attack to succeed the Attacker's Accuracy Roll must be higher then the Defender's Accuracy Roll. For example say I rolled a 13 for Defense, and you rolled a 15.))
13 < 15
((Your roll would be higher, so the attack would hit and damage calculation would follow. Now instead let's say I rolled 18, and you rolled a 6.))
18 > 6
((My roll would be higher, and so the attack would miss thus dealing no damage.))
((Any questions so far?))

(It's cool, I'm late with mine too. Though it's not my fault, didn't get any sleep two days before, and got dragged to places all day yesterday. Anyway, it seems pretty easy, I just need to know how to put all these dice rolls and any plus stats into this guild's formula. That, and I'm guessing each Attack Turn uses up 1 Pp?) As the mysterious person continued giving their taunts, Jake silently watched his Rufflet bounce up and down in anticipation, since besides him, his little bird was the only thing inside this room of darkness. He was personally not bothered by the voice anymore, the over-dramatic image he usually imagined to help remember thing's, had lost it's taste, leaving him with just this corny memory. On the other-hand, his Rufflet, Jay, hearing talks about meat only fluffed his wings even more, just about ready to charge. The little bird was getting impatient about all of the teasing, though tried not to show it, wanting to mimic his Trainer in staying calm.
It wasn't long before something had appeared ahead of them, and Jay watched in interest, as a blue patch appeared on the floor, the glow slowly getting brighter. His feet clawed against the material the floor was made of, as if he was going to charge, the blue patch flickering into a flame, as a mysterious white substance bubbled up from the floor. His eyes locked onto the white substance, as it slowly began to form itself together, his feet still clawing, and wings still fluffing. After the substance had finally formed, revealing a Litwick, Jay glared at his foe, his body just about ready to take off. The voice rang out throughout the room again, making the little bird glance around in curiosity, once again trying to locate the sound, only to snap out of it, after hearing his Trainer's command, "Jay, use your beak and peck into that candle!"
The tone from his Trainer sounded a little dazed, making the bird wonder if he was going to start zoning out, not being with his Trainer long enough to know how he reacted. But nonetheless, the bird eagerly obeyed his Trainer's command, his wings and feet in position as if he was going to take flight, before in the blink of an eye, the bird charged towards it's foe, it's beak glowing a bright white as it charged up it's Peck attack, in hopes of hitting it's opponent.

The move would catch just slightly ...a clip that would hurt the pokemon as it hit between arms and legs in the midsection as the Cranidos slide to a halt after the hit. Eyes still on it's opponent as it gave another roar and whipped it's tail from side to side as it stood on the defensives once more ...looking to leap away from any incoming attacks from the flying rodent.(Okay, figuring out damage. To figure out damage here, the first thing you do is subtract the two dice rolls. 5 - 4 = 1 Then you look at the attack, and determine whether it's a attack or special attack and then work it that way. Headbutt is a regular attack, so next I subtract my pokemon's attack stats and your pokemon's defense stats to help determine damage. attack 9 - 8 defense = 1 Then you add the two damages together to figure out the overall damage, which in this case is simply 2)

With that single strike the Litwick would be tossed back, tumbling end over end across the floor and leaving a series of bright white blotches upon the ground. The Rufflet's beak has managed to leave a white large dent in the Litwick's body; something which was almost immediately covered as a thick glob of wax melted down from his head and across the wound. Though a flame flicked atop his head, the candle was also a Ghost-Type. Forever animate, but never truly living. A gift and a curse held by all his kind...forever burning the souls of those alive and dead.
">Piccione stupido!<" Anima cursed under his breath as he rose, wiping a few wax drippings from his mouth. Eyes narrowing dangerously, the Litwick's blue flame abruptly doubled in size. These were the flames of his resolution, and they as with his soul, would not be extinguished so easily! Scowling, the Pokemon's tiny wax covered hands would suddenly ignite, a cry appearing upon his lips as he began throwing them forward in an intense, heated barrage ">Cento Fiamme!<"
"Translation. Ember! Gehehe" The voice would suddenly chime in, chuckling slightly. Of course for those that could actually understand the little Litwick, it was clear that wasn't a direct translation. Simply the attack as a trainer would best understand it. "I'd go on the defensive child. Lest you want your little Rufflet Flambe'd!...actually that sounds good, hold still! GYAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" The voice cackled as it gave it's contradictory command. Oh how he was enjoying this.
Abruptly a patch of the floor by Jake's feet would begin to glow with the same shade of blue as the Litwick's entrance, a small vial of thick green liquid shooting into the air as if propelled by pressurized air "Oh, and I'd have your little tweety bird drink this...before he really does become a side-dish! GYAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!" It would seem in his apparent blood lust the voice had managed to forget one of the requirements of his instruction. He wasn't allowed to let them actually die...least not the first time.
((You're both wrong and right. PP does work like that, however that doesn't come in until much later in the ballgame. Some people have enough time remembering to do the most basic parts of the combat system, no less watching their PP.))
((The additional stats and such should be fairly easy to understand once I actually explain damage calculation. Which I'm about to.))
((The formula for damage is this.))
(Attacker's Accuracy Roll - Defender's Accuracy Roll) + (ATK - DEF) = Damage
((To make that a little clearer I'll now do the damage calculation for that attack you just did.))
(10 - 3) + (8 - 6) = 9 DMG
Anima HP: 5/14
((Simple no? Now obviously depending on whether or not you use a Physical Attack such as Peck, or a Special Attack such as Ember, the stats in the second part of the formula will change. For a PA it will be ATK - DEF. If it's an SA it'll be SP-ATK - SP-DEF.))
((Now here's an important point. Fainting and Death. Should a Pokemon's HP drop to 0 or below, it will faint; HOWEVER, if a Pokemon drops down to less then -7 HP, it will die. Once dead, no amount of trips to the Pokemon Center or Revives will return it. It will be well and truly DEAD. Gone, but not forgotten.))
((There are only three exceptions to this rule. The first is that a Ghost-Type will never die no matter how low their HP drops. The second is that if the Pokemon is holding one of a few very RARE held-items, it will survive the death blow...however these items are 1 use, shattering afterwards. The third exception is that a Pokemon can be brought back to life using the item Sacred Ash, something that you will find almost impossible to actually obtain.))
((With this in mind, keep an eye on your HP. Sometimes it's better to switch or retreat.))
((Now this next part is a small thing I forgot to mention before; but it needs to be said because so many people mess this up at first. When your opponent is attacking, you don't. You dodge, evade, block, do a little dance for all I care, but you do not attack. This means you do not call out any attacks, even in a defensive way. Doing so will come with a series of dire consequences.))
((Actually that also reminds me. In the case of Status Moves such as Haze or Double Team, when defending, instead of dodging your aim is to break your opponents focus. How you do so it up to you. It can be anything from making a loud noise, to putting on a grass skirt and doing the Hula.))

(Maybe so, but you should be glad, because if those were attack rolls ...it would be over. Thank the dice goddess)
The mat would have four new deep sets of cuts in it as the Cranidos jumped back swiftly. The lighting sparking in the area it had hit as that area of the mat would have deep black burns in it .....as the pokemon cocks it's head to the side so that both eyes were on the flying squirrel pokemon. It's tail lashing behind it angrily at the near hit as he growls loudly before glaring daggers at his opponent.
His eyes would lock on his opponent as he meets the pokemon's eyes with his next attack ...leer.

(Oh, I get it now. So moves like Double Team then are pretty much the only "moves" you can use during the Defensive. Pp sounds pretty complex right about now.) Jay jumped back as the attack made contact, puffing out his wings in triumph, as the Litwick was flung backwards tumbling across the floor. His eyes trailed at the work he did on the candle-like Pokemon, until it led to the Litwick's body. A smile graced the bird's lips at seeing the dent that was made into his foe's body, only to quickly disappear as the missing parts regenerated. Jay brushed his feet at the ground once again, watching as his foe got up from the ground, it's flames igniting and hands lighting up.
The voice sounded throughout the room again, giving another taunt at him and his Trainer. Jay only continued brushing his feet against the ground in response, waiting anxiously for another command from his Trainer. As his Rufflet stared down the Litwick, Jake glanced down at his feet, catching the small vial as it shot out of the ground. His eyes, no longer showing any trace of the daze it had before, inspected the strange vial, before his hands popped the cork open. "Jay, drink this, then I want you to try and dodge it's attack" The little bird turned around at his Trainer's whispering voice, and opened it's beak as it was fed a dose of green liquid. The strange substance traveled down his throat, leaving a taste he couldn't even describe, as the bird turned back to it's foe, it's legs and wings in position to charge once more.
With it's body correctly positioned, the bird Pokemon prepped itself to move out of the way when the Litwick unleashed its attack. Jake watched the bird, before his eyes glanced over to the Litwick. His Rufflet seemed to be winning the battle so far, and though this would be a corny memory he would never be able to twist to his satisfactions, it would still be a memorable one.

Elias looked on as Emolga missed another attack, "It's ok Emolga, get em next time!" Emogla nodded and then waited for his next command. Elias saw that his opponent was using Leer, "Emogla close your eyes to avoid being effected by that move!" Emolga responsed, quickly jumping back away from Cranidos and covering it's eye with his hands.

(remember once more, that all moves are attacks)
The move would fail then ....as the pokemon's tail would whip behind him to and fro in his irritation at failure. He would show his fangs as he backs up slowly ....as his muscles retracted with an ease that showed off his ability as a fighter. He was looking for an opening even as he looked to avoid any move that came at him .....as his eyes narrowed to slits.
He wasn't going to let himself lose this fight.

Memories of Xemnas 1 Syliver answered," I shall ask for the tutorials first then the real battle begins....but know this, I will not give up". Syliver said with pride in his heart.
"Do not make mistakes ...the tutorial and the real battle are one and the same."
The voice told him ...even as two screens would drop from the ceiling. Blank and dark, there was nothing on them ....as the voice would declares again.
"First, before this battle can start, you need to do two things. First, call forth your pokemon ...so that it's stats will appear on the screen, and second, have that pokemon drink the potion."
At those words, it would shimmer into existences ....a potion of the brightest green hue ....in a flask as it bubbles and churns in the glass. The voice was waiting for him to compel, for the pokemon to be called forth and it's stats posted.
