[] Gym Battlers Open 2: This Time, It's Woopersonal

Shiiiiiiiit, so there's a chance I'll see Icy's Steven again.

I'll go with 13.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah, ok. And here I am half thinking I was kicked for absolutely no reason.
(Kidding.)

I see everyone is revealing what their type is. Then I will, too.
Mine is the one likely to cause the chilling rush you feel after a night's blizzard. Kicking ice at your face may do that as well but let's not get into semantics.

Oh yeah, I have a QUESTION. Sorry. But can I have an exception to use something... like a legendary? Specifically the ice flyer, Articuno. For me it's useful at being an actual flying type and it has decent defense stats to boot. My choice list is horribly narrow as it is, so I'm asking.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I will wait for GB's answer THEN deal. Besides, I gave you the same treatment with the legendaries question from the last gym tournament. And I will say it too, its stats are not amazing enough to throw the competition into a loop.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Haha, I'm slacking so bad right now, sorry GB! My team of six is almost ready. Just have two pokes that need better moves or EV vitamins. So possibly later tonight I will start issuing challenges.
(This would've gone a lot faster if I had myself a copy of Pokemon Platinum. Stupid ice moves.)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sorry, I'm late. Uh Weavile ate my TMs.

Anyway, I have the minimum six needed to go down in flames (of victory.) Working on a seventh, sort of, but I'm tired. Better to save my energy for tomorrow since I have the day off on Monday. So I'll try to be on AIM and MSN most of the day. I'll of course pester everyone with PMs, too.

I was speaking idiomatically.

*Stealing Crash's format to keep things organized.*
KAIRYU VS. IDENTITY CRISIS: Ice VS. Ghost

Which is colder, I wondered.

Round One: It was brutal. I even made a mistake on my first move and paid for it dearly. I think I lost a good 3 Pokemon straight away, just OHKO after another really. Hoping I could recover from it I eventually brute forced my way through his first and then second Pokemon. Few more blows were exchanged but the damage was too great. Not to mention it was difficult to predict. So bad I even fell for one of the ghost types favorite tactics. Which I will happily call "the force." Yes, that was the final blow. Worst part is I literally could not do anything about it. What a horrible way to go.

Identity Crisis Wins
Identity Crisis Pokemon lost: 3
Kairyu Pokemon lost: 6

Round Two: All it took was one match so I had a good idea what his plan of attack was. Acting on it I immediately setup myself up to out pace him before he could do anything about. A couple heavy storms later there wasn't much left on his side. He managed to take out my main hitter but it didn't matter. I just used something even faster and froze him in his tracks. Everything freezes eventually!

Kairyu Wins
Identity Crisis Pokemon lost: 3
Kairyu Pokemon lost: 1

Round Three: IC you wily bastard. *insert random rape event here.* Following that I died a hauntingly slow death. Topped off with a side of "the force" maneuver.

Identity Crisis Wins
Identity Crisis Pokemon lost: 1
Kairyu Pokemon lost: 3

Round Four: A true battle of attrition right here, folks. It was a SLOW match. I'm not sure how long this took but it eventually came down to me evading an attack and doing the perfect amount of damage to his last ghost. He basically killed himself with too much power. Ohhohoho :monocle:.

Kairyu Wins
Identity Crisis Pokemon lost: 3
Kairyu Pokemon lost: 2

Round Five: FINAL ROUND, FIGHT! I took off all the brakes here and performed a near perfect sweep. He couldn't trick me anymore since I saw his hand four times already. All in all, winter came and left everything bitter and frozen. From the sidelines Articuno watched in delight at my eventual victory then we all had hot chocolate. It was awesome.

Kairyu Wins
Identity Crisis Pokemon lost: 3
Kairyu Pokemon lost: 1

Total Lost:
Identity Crisis - 13
Kairyu - 13

Fun and close matches there. You know how to use those damned ghost pokemon. Yes, I nearly pissed my pants.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

KAIRYU VS. CRASH LANDON: Ice VS. Fire

Round One: What happens when you toss an ice cube into an open fire? It melts, much like the way this round went. Sure, I did some collateral damage with what little water I had to toss around. It was just way too hot for my kind. I did however manage to freeze one of his pokes, but like any fire type it immediately thawed out and destroyed me in the same turn.

Crash Wins
Crash Pokemon lost: 3
Kairyu Pokemon lost: 6

Round Two: More of the same. I snapped back with some blizzards though. I was of course slapped back with a plume of liquid rocks ;_;.

Crash Wins
Crash Pokemon lost: 1
Kairyu Pokemon lost: 3

Round Three: It got a little interesting here. I wasn't doing too hot (pardon the pun) yet my ground tactics did give me a chance to snuff out some of that hot fire. I even managed to get him down to his last pokemon. But Crash's tank absorbed my last blow and made a flashy victory.

My icicles, you vaporized them! D:

Crash Wins
Crash Pokemon lost: 2
Kairyu Pokemon lost: 3

Total Lost:
Crash Pokemon lost: 6
Kairyu Pokemon lost: 12

Good game Crash, even though I saw it coming. What with the laws of thermodynamics and all!

How ya doing, buddy?

Just popping in to say I also have time to play matches today and tomorrow. I sent PMs last week about this so you know who you are! If you're not too busy just contact me via PM, AIM or MSN IM and we'll get started. I promise I won't bite, that's my team's job.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
