Thread: Geo Strata Tourney *Start-Up*

Santos gave a smile. "Bombardeo aéreo!" he shouted, and in an instant, the Garra clones disappeared, leaving only the real Swellow. Instead of avoiding the boulders, Garra flew right through them, diving for Helens, beginning to blaze with a fierce light blue aura. A Brave Bird attack, which it used to smash right through some of the rocks, carving a destructive path, flying right for the Camerupt at blinding speeds...

"Yes! That's the way!" cheered Aaron, who favored high-risk, high-return tactics like the one Santos just pulled off. "Powerful, fast, and decisive! That's the way to go!"

"And to top it off he calls his orders in spanish so that his opponent isn't able to predict them. Really clever," Tyler scratched his chin while looking at the battle.

Keitaro was shocked at his opponent's sudden movement. "Helens, sidestep it. Then use Flash Cannon!"

The Camerupt quickly jumped to the side without much effort, turned to the Flying-type, and began creating energy in front of it. The heavy steel churned smoothly until it finally formed into a glowing sphere within the Eruption Pokémon's mouth. Helens dug its back hooves into the dirt, suddenly being hit by an intense wave of pressure after releasing the shining ball from its grip, sending it hurling towards the defending Swellow.

@Oblivion ; Hi.

"Darn!" Aaron yelled. "That Brave Bird should have hit! Keitaro must have poured so many Speed EVs into that Camerupt for that to work!"

"EV's what? This guys acting like Pokemon are machines and he acts like I'm strange. Weirdo" thought Adrock.

The sphere of energy collided with Garra, sending him flying through the air, only for the Swellow to rearrange himself by wildly flapping his wings until his backwards momentum came to a halt. "Well played, amigo," Santos said. "Garra, cortador de aire!" The Swellow then began flying high in the sky, sending blasts of high-intensity winds for Helens at regular intervals, and being wary of any potential counter-attacks.

Keitaro watched as the powerful gusts began to push the sturdy Ground-type backwards. Not even Speed EVs could help the massive Pokémon resist the force of the air. Keitaro also realized that any move that Helens could use would be blown away by Garra's attack. He'd been trapped. "Well… We can't give up just yet! Helens, Amnesia!"
It was then that the Camerupt closed it's eyes and began to wash itself in calm. The Amnesia would cause the user to forget it's opponent's moveset, but raise Special Defense in return.

OOC: Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummp thought this should be necessary.

Adrock couldn't stand to watch the fight. He left to seek answers on why this tournament was being held and all the other question he asked before. He would get his answers at least he was that what he thought.
