[FIN] Zebo VS Akantha! Feather and Fur!

[Renekai]

Let's do the time warp again~

Zebo

VS

Akantha

 

[Renekai]

The Fire Field: A series of thick rock pillars, all different sizes of height, reach towards the stadium ceiling from a pool of hot lava. While there is a fire-proof net far below to catch any pokemon that falls off the platforms, the rock pillars themselves are hot to the touch. They can cause burns if your pokemon stand still for a set period of time. The air around the field is very heavy from the extreme heat. This field gives a 25 HP attack boost to FIRE type attacks. This field reduces ICE and WATER type attacks by 25 HP.

After months of surviving in the wilderness, sleeping on the ground and fleeing from her Rocket pursuers, it sure was nice to be back in town. But you have to make money if you live in town, and what better way was there to make that money than to battle? It had been so long since Zinnia had had a formal match... She had missed it. Hopefully her skills hadn't gone rusty!

It would be exciting to try battling with Zebo, too. This would be the purrloin's first official match. Zinnia was sure that he would do well.

"Okay, Zebo! Go!" she called, tossing up his pokeball.

The dark pokemon formed in his spot in the field, quickly taking in the fiery terrain with his sharp eyes. He looked back up over his shoulder and spotted Zinnia.

"You can do it, Zebs!" she encouraged. "Just remember what I taught you!"

He mewled an affirmative and turned to face his opponent, his tail lashing in eagerness.  

[StarrySeas]

Sienna entered the stadium with her two birds beside her. Her opponent looked familiar, but she couldn't place her in her mind. Oh well. She waved hello regardless. This would be her new Archen, Akantha's, first official match as well.

Her father had come to see his daughter battle for the first time. The three had practiced plenty together, but this wasn't practice any more. Frey preened his daughter and hugged her with his wings, "" Akantha hugged him back, "" She hopped down on to the stadium. Boy it was hot in here!

 

[Renekai]

"Zebo! Use Iron Tail!" Zinnia commanded.

Zebo's long tail glowed brightly. He charged at the bird, leaping into the air at the last moment and swinging his tail down hard.

Akantha was hit squarely with the Purrloin's shining steel tail, but she could take a hit. Excitedly she got up and hopped from foot to foot and got ready for Sienna's call.

"Start with Torment!" The bird keeper called.

Akantha would have been more happy to smack the Purrloin with her tail, but instead she danced around Zebo and flicked her tail at him to torment him.

"Encore!" Zinnia shouted.

Although it was shameful that the great Zebo was tormented, he knew to obey his trainer. He sat back on his haunches and began clapping his paws together, insisting that Akantha repeat such a wondrous attack.

[StarrySeas]

Akantha gave the cat pokemon a look, what a weird thing to do during a battle. Whatever it was, it didn't work and she was ready to attack again.

"Do some damage with Rock Smash!"

The Archen sprinted forward on her long lanky legs, lept up and slashed at the Purrloin.

"Iron Tail!" Zinnia interjected quickly.

Zebo was knocked back by the force of the archen's rock smash, but he used to momentum of Akantha's own attack to swing his glowing tail toward her once again.

[StarrySeas]

Akantha let out a squawk as another powerful Iron Tail swung in to her. That hurt a lot! But she wasn't here to lose.

"It's alright, shake it off and keep using Rock Smash!"

The Archen shook herself out and sprinted at the Purrloin again.

Zebo was smashed into the ground by the power of Akantha's attack; he bonked his chin and stars exploded before his eyes. Not... yet! He couldn't let that bird beat him!

"Thunder Wave!"

Zebo yowled loudly as he reared up onto his hind legs, then slammed his forepaws into the ground, sending a shock wave toward Akantha.

Akantha flew quickly upward to avoid the oncoming wave of electricity before diving at her opponent once more with a Rock Smash.

"Iron Tail!" Zinnia shouted.

Zebo growled and swung his iron-hard tail at Akantha again. He was starting to get a little worn out!

[StarrySeas]

Akantha was starting to lose steam as well as another Iron Tail made contact with her. Nevertheless she carried on with Rock Smash.

Zebo was crushed down so hard that it actually cracked the floor beneath him. "(Khh...)" He tried to get up, his legs shaking, but his head suddenly became heavy and his vision went dark.

"Zebo, return!" Zinnia said, holding up the purrloin's pokeball. "You did really well, Zebs," she whispered to the ball. "That was a close battle." Zinnia looked across the stadium to her opponent. "Thanks for the battle," she said with a wave, then turned to exit the stadium. Poor Zebo was off to a rough start in his battling career, but soon enough he would be as tough as her other pokemon.
