CLOSED REF: Velocity v Saraibre Ryu (Ref: 3m0d0ll).

[Saraibre Ryu]

Alright, get in a Thunder Wave. If Rikki Protects or any similar action to prevent Thunder Wave from working, use Light Screen. If Velo switches into something then use Pursuit.

Then, use Bug Buzz. Again, if there is a sub, Pin Missle instead. If he Protects or any similar action or switches on the second action use Double Team. If he tries Toxic on the second action, Dodge it.

Rikki, try to dodge the Thunder Wave and then cover yourself from the Bug Buzz with Flamethrower.

Not feeling too keen on the idea that Rikki had intimidating stat boosts, Cayci decided to set up some defense. She wiggled the small legs coming from under her mouth in front of her. Transparent, yellow tiles appeared, beginning to litter the area in front of Cayci. They spawned off of one another, expanding the shield all around Cayci for protection.
[Light Screen: Cayci, -6% Energy; Light Screen up for two Rounds]

At the sight of the yellow panels, Rikki assumed that it was another mysterious move, he jumped upwards, taking refuge within a creaky fire escape. Once he saw that Cayci was simply setting up a protective shield, he felt slightly at ease, and slightly irritated.
[Dodge: Rikki, -3% Energy]

Once her screen was successfully put up, she felt much more safe; she no longer had to worry about Rikki's powerful SpAtt stat. Cayci briskly climbed along the side of a graffiti'd dumpster, then on top. She slightly raided her abdomen in the air and rubbed the fine hairs in her legs against one another. A red, rippling soundwave echoed throughout the alley, zoning in on Rikki. Rikki inhaled deeply, letting the burn on the back of his tongue soothed the discomfort. Fire began to seep from his clutched jaws, and once he opened them, a large, spiraling stream of flames shot towards Cayci's attack. Beautifull embers emerged from the contact, as both attacks disintegrated.

Velocity, your moves, please.

Is there a particular reason that the cover failed and that Cayci used Light Screen instead of Thunder Wave? I'm really confused here.

Dodging would prevent Thunder Wave from working, so she used Light Screen.

Velocity, you have 24-hours to post your moves or you will be disqualified.

But I still would like to know why the cover failed - and anyway, unless Sabi has a psychic Galvantula, there's no way she would have used Light Screen because Rikki wouldn't have dodged yet.

Ooooh, I'm sorry. D: I misread your attacks; I didn't now you wanted to defend yourself from Flamethrower with Bug Buzz. :c I'll make edits.

Sorry I'm such an idiot.

[Velocity]

All right, Rikki, we're going to do things a little bit o d d l y this round. Use Agility - toward Cayci. Once you're in close, use your momentum and drop a Foul Play right in her face.

Agility + Foul Play.

[Saraibre Ryu]

Alright Cayci dear, you're still that tiny bit faster than Rikki, so before he gets in that Agility, you're going to set up Reflect since I tutored you that lovely little move, and infuse Thunder Wave into the barrier so that when Rikki slams into you with that momentum, he's going to get a lovely surprise.

Reflect + Thunder Wave

Cayci felt slightly mischievous this afternoon, deciding to spice things up a bit. She rubbed the small antenna in front of her face together, creating thin sparks. From those sparks, a light blue barrier began to form. Brick by brick, the thin wall of energy built itself higher, with Cayci's direction. Electricity surged through the shield, sparking and letting off a slight electrical hum.
[Reflect: Cayci, -6% Energy; Reflect is up for two Rounds]
[Thunder wave: Cayci, -4% Energy]

Rikki sprang forward, the outlines of his body glowing a dull white. As he lurched towards Cayci, he moved his body faster and faster, encircling the Galvantula. He ran to the left, then paused. With a brisk thrust of his body, he pounced onto Cayci.
[Agility: Rikki, -3% Energy; Rikki, +2 Spd]

Just as he was about a foot from Cayci, Rikki pulling his fist back, letting it glow an odd yellow color. He aimed his punch towards the spider just as it was about to hit, the blue screen of sparking energy shielded Cayci. Just as Rikki punched the wall, electricity pulsed through his arm, tightening his mucles.

Sabi, your moves, please.

[Saraibre Ryu]

Alright get in a Double Team and then follow up with Signal Beam. Dodge any Toxic attempts, since he's much slower than you that should be easy. If he tries Protect/Detect moves, Chil instead. If there is a switch, use Gastro Acid on whatever comes out.

All right, Rikki, use Snatch to take advantage of our opponent's generosity. Follow up with a Sucker Punch to smack that annoying bug right in the kisser. But if Snatch has failed, switch to an Aerial Ace to clear away Cayci's clones.

Cayci, feeling entirely confident with the course of this battle, began running back and forth, letting herself fade into her surroundings. She moved with such speed that she appeared to be in several places at once, creating multiple targets. Rikki, however, had a plan of his own: he lurched forward, letting his red nails glow a dark green color. Just as Cayci's clones seemed ready to solidify, Rikki swiped his arm across on of Cayci's clones, grabbing it by a clump of fur atop its head. Rikki's contact with the clone broke the stream of others behind it, and Cayci stopped moving, shocked. As Rikki pulled the clone towards him, it wavered, beginning to resemble Rikki. As soon as the Zoroark released the copy, it became a tangible clone. It smiled, slashing it's new claws out in font of itself, ready to aid Rikki.
[Snatch: Rikki, -7% Energy; one clone is created]
[Double Team: Cayci, -7% Energy; Double Team's effects were stolen from Cayci]

The Rikkis smiled, anticipating an attack, and let their right arms begin to glow a light purple. Sprinting forward, both of the Pokemon separated, ready to strike from opposite sides of the field. Both Zoroarks seemed to be mirror images of each other, taking every step simultaneously. They jumped, synchronized, winding their arms up as they fell towards the EleSpider. In an instant, they pressed their tightened claws against Cayci, slamming her into the ground from both sides, just as the Reflective shield made itself known.
[Sucker Punch: Cayci, -9% (17/2) Health; Rikki, -7% Energy]

Cayci rolled on the ground from the impact, then straightened out into a slide, tensing her leg muscles to force herself to slow down. Right as she stopped, she let out four small yet powerful beams from the eyes in the center of her face. They swirled, merging as one as the rainbow beam flew towards both Rikkis. Cayci let her actual eyes analyze her opponents, easily able to understand which was the real one. She turned her head slightly to the left, directing the beam towards the correct Rikki. The brilliant spectrum enveloped Rikki, causing him to cry out in pain and eliminating his clone.
