Reserving my Jeep for me and my Zoroark to visit the Mountain.
[Rikki] Zoroark (M)
Ability: Illusion
Signature Move:
Spoiler:
Unseen Rush Description: Most Zoroarks only hone their illusory abilities to the point where they can appear to be something else - a bush, a Scrafty, a lamppost, a little boy, etc. However, Rikki and I have trained his deceptive skills enough to where not only can he make illusions - he can completely disappear for a short time. This is very useful in battle. To perform Unseen Rush, Rikki makes himself completely invisible. He then runs at his opponent several times, slashing them with his claws as he rushes past. He does this until his invisibility peters out, whereupon his ability to create illusions vanishes for at least a battle's-length of time. Type: Dark Base Power: 35 per slash. Accuracy: 85 Classification: Physical Energy Modifier: 10 Effects: Rikki strikes the opponent 2-5 times with his claws. The exact number is determined via RNG.
Rikki cannot use moves that increase his Evasion, or Double Team, for the rest of the match. Usage Gap: Once per battle.

Rikki looked contemptuously at Cubchoo, not expecting to have too difficult a time defeating her. The Zoroark and his clones grinned as dark energy wrapped around their hands. Four orbs of darkness pummelled the baby bear and she tumbled over backwards; the attack had hurt her fairly badly.
But it wasn’t enough to keep her down for long. She recovered quickly and was soon on her feet running towards her opponents. The pain she had been put through previously lent her strength and speed, allowing her to cut down each of her foes before they could react. Rikki gasped as an icy claw was raked across his chest. Meanwhile, Cubchoo leapt out of reach, panting a little; the attack had used up a lot of her energy, but it had crippled her opponent’s defence.
A growl of fury rose from Rikki’s throat as he manipulated more of the shadowy energy he used before. He formed the energy into a ball, compressing it to do as much damage as possible. Next he lobbed it at Cubchoo, who faced it bravely despite knowing that it would harm her. The attack hit and she was rolled back into a nearby rock, where she stayed for several seconds to regain her resolve.
She was back again quickly though. Sitting up, she yawned loudly and, since yawns are contagious, Rikki soon followed suit. However, unlike his opponent, the Zoroark soon began to become genuinely tired – it didn’t seem that he’d be able to hang on for much longer.
Seeing this, you decided to try and finish the battle off quickly. You took a red and white poké ball from the bag on your back and threw it at Cubchoo. The ball split and red energy enveloped the bear, drawing her in. However, the ice-type was still strong enough to struggle against it, and promptly broke out. She growled at you angrily before turning back to deal some damage to your pokémon.
Taking a massive breath of the mountain air, the ice-bear holds her breath for a while, making it as cold as possible. Then she exhaled, blowing the freezing air over Rikki, who shivered despite herself. The attack had done a decent bit of damage to her, but not as much as he had done to the cub. He steadied himself against a nearby boulder; he knew it would be long before he succumbed to temptation and fell asleep – he would just have to do as much as he could before then.

[-] Geodude ♂ Ability: Rock Head Health: 100 Energy: 100
.
Rikki ran forward at the Geodude. His hand was glowing bright as energy began to form a huge ball of energy a sudden harsh beam of energy was forced at the small rock pokemon. It was knocked into the ground due to the large amount of force and caused a great amount of damage. However Rikki fell down as well in sleep.
[Focus Blast; Rikki: -18 Energy | Geodude: -44 Health]
[Rikki Falls Asleep]
Geodude grumbled an ancient curse that made him stronger at the expense of his speed.
Pupitar shook its head with great confusion. The one oppenent he had been facing was now in front of him in four different bodies. He blinked his eyes, trying to rid himself of the trickery. However, he still saw four Zoroark's sleeping in front of him.
[Illusion; 3 Clones]
Rikki continued to sleep peacefully on the ground. Why wouldn't he perform an attack. Velocity contined to yell Sleep Talk. However Rikki didn't understand the command and rolled over on his side to block and ear.
[Sleep Talk (Sucker Punch); Rikki: -7 Energy | Pupitar: Failed!]
Pupitar began to spin around. The dirt beneath his... end? began to swirl up the dirt on the rocky ground. As he continued to spin the dirt cloud in the air began to take a form. It shifted itself into the shape of a dragon. Its wings folded over pupitar and glowed white. Then it reared itself back and the image exploded. Pupitar was blessed with speed and strength from his ancient dance.
Rikki still didn't react to the command that his owner gave. He didn't understand what it meant and wasn't able to perform it.
[Sleep Talk (Round); Rikki: -8 Energy | Pupitar: Failed!]
Pupitar let out a loud huff. He began to charge forward dust flying behind him. Who knew a cocoon could go so fast! He smashed himself with all his might into a Zoroark but found himself instead on the ground. The Zoroark had vanished as soon as he had touched it. Pupitar growled low in annoyance at himself and the Zoroark.
[Brick Break; Pupitar: -12 Energy | Rikki: -1 Clone]
Rikki still wouldn't wake up, no matter how long Velocity had yelled his name. But he moved no muscle when Velocity commands were called. The words "Sleep Talk" were an empty command to the Zoroark.
[Sleep Talk (Shadow Ball); Rikki: -11 Energy | Pupitar: Failed!]
Pupitar tried once again. He picked up a sudden and rather large amount of speed and charged towards another Zoroark. Yet as he tackled with all his might he again found himself on the ground after running through another vanishing act. He growled and screeched, really quite annoyed by this sleeping enemy that he could not beat.
