Avatar Smackdown! (Open)

[mitchell271]

Rules are simple!
1. You're your avatar. If your avatar has alter-egos, they can turn into them. If it's an OC and over-powered, please nerf them, just for this.

2. For the sake of consistency, fights are Pokémon style! Type effects are in play if your avatar is a Pokémon and not much can happen per entry. Here's an example of what they should be at the longest:

Spaceman Spiff is hurt by recoil/whiplash! Spaceman Spiff is confused! Spaceman Spiff thinks using his Proto-bombs will drag you out of your hole! He causes a small, localized earthquake that has no effect.

3. Feel free to add flavour text, but keep is succinct and it should have a point. For example:

Actually earthquake attack effects are doubled on pokemon who are using dig when they hit, so the earthquake jettisons Little Woodsman out of the ground, where he groggily uses his Bone Club as a support to try to lever himself to his feet...

See, he uses his bone club to get back up. It have just as easily been, "stands up".

4. If you're attacking someone directly, quote them so they can respond in kind!

5. If your post is interpreted a different way than you intended, just keep going and don't correct them. If you're lucky, you can turn it into a massive advantage!

Think of this as a simpler, less story based version of the WAOA Arena thread going on. With fast, fun battles!

Have at you!

Indeed, have at you!
Regaining enough composure to focus on what is going on around him Little Woodsman sees the tiger circling & looking for an opportunity to pounce! Being less comfortable with the idea of hurting an innocent animal, Little Woodsman takes a swipe at it with his False Swipe attack, hoping to convince it that he's not suitable prey!

Regaining enough composure to focus on what is going on around him Little Woodsman sees the tiger circling & looking for an opportunity to pounce! Being less comfortable with the idea of hurting an innocent animal, Little Woodsman takes a swipe at it with his False Swipe attack, hoping to convince it that he's not suitable prey!

Hobbes is hit with False Swipe and is incredibly hurt, with only enough strength to not pass out! Spaceman Spiff runs towards Hobbes while randomly firing his blaster, set to Deep Fry, at Little Woodsman.

 

[Little Woodsman]

Ouch! Little Woodsman is hit with a glancing shot from the blaster and staggered! He knows he can't take a direct hit from that so he considers trying to knock the blaster out of Spiff's hands with a Bonemerang attack, but sees that such a small moving target would be very difficult. So he gets sneaky instead and uses his Ice Beam to freeze the ground in front of Spiff, hoping that while Spiff slides around he will be unable to fire! Little Woodsman then high-tails it towards Spiff's crashed ship, hoping to find some potions or berries inside!

Spiff falls!

Hobbes helps him up and together they run away from the ship, seeing that it's smoking! It could blow at any minute!

Little Woodsman desperately rummages among the old socks & dirty trinkets Spiff has lying around the cockpit. Grabbing an old crumpled paper bag, he is about to throw it away when he realizes it has something in it! Inside there is a sandwich and--Lugia be praised *LEMONADE*! (Thoughtfully packed by Spiff's mom.) Woodsman grabs the lemonade & dives for the floor using his Dig attack in an attempt to escape! Will he make it in time?!

Hobbes and Spiff dive behind a rock and huddle closely. Little Woodsman is hit with the edge of the blast and flies towards the rock they hid behind! Spiff reverts back to Calvin as he and Hobbes don black masks. "It's Calvinball! You landed in the Backwards Trap! Now you can only move backwards!", he screams.

Little Woodsman looks askance at Calvin while rubbing the back of his head (which was fortunately protected from most of the impact by his over-skull).
"Cubone?" He asks, opening the lemonade with his free paw. "Cu-*bone*-bone?!?!" He quaffs the lemonade (regaining 80 HP) while Hobbes translates. "He said, 'What? Are you insane you tiny shape-changing human?'" {wink}

"You're not speaking backwards!" cried Calvin. "You have to speak 'ekil siht' and move backwards! Because you weren't going it, you have to spin in a circle yelling 'Oogie boogie bump fizz' until you fall over.' And we get to throw rocks at you." Calvin and Hobbes pick up rocks and get ready to throw them, smiling.

Little Woodsman grins evilly under his bone mask. "...eh eh eh...enob enoob enobuc-uC" and readies his bone club.
Again Hobbes translates "...eh eh eh...namuh ynit errazib ydaer e'ruoy emitynA"

Little Woodsman grins evilly under his bone mask. "...eh eh eh...enob enoob enobuc-uC" and readies his bone club.
Again Hobbes translates "...eh eh eh...namuh ynit errazib ydaer e'ruoy emitynA"

"Hobbes, bounce left!" yelled Calvin, also bouncing towards Little Woodsman. Their arms are full of rocks and they start throwing them at the Little Woodsman's body, knowing that the bone helmet protects it from virtually anything. "He can't block from two directions at once, especially when he's moving backwards!" screams Calvin, knowing the battle is turning in his favour. Hobbes lets loose a battle roar as he raises his arm in preparation to throw his first stone.

"!eh eh ,enob uc uC !enobuc enooob-uc enobuc uC" Declares Little Woodsman triumphantly, pointing his bone club at Calvin.
Hobbes translates:
"!eh eh ,selur s'ti ot tcejbus emoceb ouy part sdrawkcab eht ni gnihtemos gniworht yB !oot sdrawkcab og tsum ouy woN"

Then Woodsman shouts "!enob enobuC" and as Hobbs translates "!siht yrt woN" Little Woodsman flings his bonemerang backwards over his right shoulder, but instead of catching it as it returns to him he steps to the side and lets it fly past, smacking in to Calvin! Then Little Woodsman drops backwards, engaging his Dig attack as he does so and disappears under the ground!

"...revelC" thinks Calvin, rubbing his face when the bone hit. Hobbes suddenly has a lightbulb idea. To avoid telling Little Woodsman his plan, he turns to Calvin and cocks back his thumb, making a pistol with his hands, pointing them up and smiling impishly. Calvin notices and follows suit, preparing to fire into the ground. They notice a small rumbling about 20m in front of them, so they let their trigger fingers have a bit of the action. Because this is Calvinball, the bullets are actually real! "!elom elttil uoy ,won su ekil uoy od woH" yells Calvin, laughing manically, in the way only a crazed 6-year-old can.

And C&H continue to point as the rumbling moves laterally, then further around, and behind them, then around them on the other side, then back to the point where they first heard it, and then fades as LW pops back up in the area of the backwards trap.
"Cubone! Cu-cubone! Cubone-bone-bone! Cu-cubone-bone-bone cubone cubone!"
"Ha ha! By leaving the backwards trap and re-entering it I've reversed the effect and can do everything normally again! But the area that I encircled underground is declared the 'tickle-trap-zone'..everyone in it has to stay in it tickling anyone else who is in it-even if they are on the same team-until someone releases them from outside!"

"Ha ha! By leaving the backwards trap and re-entering it I've reversed the effect and can do everything normally again! But the area that I encircled underground is declared the 'tickle-trap-zone'..everyone in it has to stay in it tickling anyone else who is in it-even if they are on the same team-until someone releases them from outside!"

"Can he do that?" whispers Calvin to Hobbes. "I thought only we were allowed to make up rules."
"Well," replied Hobbes, "he's playing too so I guess so."
"Darn. Tickle my shins then, they're the least ticklish."
"Back of the neck for me."
"I can't reach that high!"
"Then do my tail!"

Both of them misjudged how ticklish they were and soon both fell over in conniptions of laughter, firing hand bullets into the air. Birds began falling from the sky as a result, full of holes.
