((A round robin is when everyone faces everyone and the person who won the most contests by the time all matches are over wins.))

((I'm fine with that idea aswell but i think they is only 5 people as Psyches hasn't posted again))

As Bob finished the form to participate in the Tournament his Ludicolo pulled on his sleeve and started to dance. "No Ludi, i'm not in the mood to dance at the moment, sorry" with that Bob put his head down and walked over into the waiting room and sat down. His ludicolo followed him wondering what was wrong and started to tug on Bob's sleeve again with a puzzled look on his face. "Don't worry about it Ludi, it's just.....i've never gone this long without seeing Phantom before". With that the Ludicolo started to smile and pointed at one of the pokeballs at Bob's waist. "Oh so you want Xatu to dance with you? Ok". Then Bob threw the pokeball into the middle of them room and a Xatu magestically flew up to the ceiling. It then came down to the ground and started to dance with the Ludicolo. Bob couldn't help but laugh "Thanks you two, i needed cheering up"

Lulu got up after passing out. "Nice Lu!you just passed out in a public place!cluts!"she yelled as she kicked the seat. She pulled out one of her pokeballs and threw it. "Rai-raichu!" "silly pokemon!"Lulu said with a giggle. "Rai-Rai-Raichu?" "what do you mean am i up for it??!?!?"She replied with suprise. "Rai rai raichu." "oh just making sure eh?" She returned shock and entered the real waiting room where she saw a man and two pokemon danceing.freaks.

((Ok then, I'll give everyone until sunday so they can read this: THE TOURNAMENT BEGINS MARCH 19, 2006 AS A ROUND ROBIN. ALL OTHER RULES STILL APPLY.))

An announcement is made throughout the stadium/arena.

"Attention! All people competing in the tournament as well as all audience members: Please report to the main stadium for field and opponent assigning if you are competing! If not, please take your seats as the tournament will soon begin!"

"Well, OK I guess that means us guys" said Arthur to his pokeballs as he followed the instructions given by the DM.

Lulu walked out of the waiting room. "This time no one will survive." she said as she walked into the main stadium.this is for you Darrik

((just to let ya'll know i will not be here during the week so no battles for me on weekdays 'cause of school.))

Bob heard the annoucement even though his pokemon seem as if they hadn't as they were still dancing "Come on you two, be a bit more serious the tournament is starting soon". The two pokemon ignored him and just carried on. "Ok, Xatu return! Now calm down Ludi otherwise we'll never win this thing. Now come on." Bob and his ludicolo began to walk out of the waiting room towards the main areana. This is for you Phantom

When all the contestants are in the arena, a new announcement is made.

"On field one, the match-up will be:
Jonathon Starch (psyches) vs. Bob Gilligan (Mutant_Mewtwo) on a water field.

On field two, the match-up will be:
Arthur (Pelligargetic) vs. Micheal Surge (Sneaky_Sneasel) on a water field

On field three, the match-up will be:
Lulu Hirusho (Dark_latias181) vs. Erick Kirce (StellarLeader) on a water field

Good luck to all of our contestants and let the tournament begin."

Gears turning and other machinary sounds can be heard as the fields change to water fields. The water field has an island in the middle of a pool of water. The land mass is supported by beams under water that are spaced apart allowing any pokemon the chance to swim from one side of the pool to the other via under the island.

"OK then" said Arthur as he walked over to field two.
"I think this battle might be interesting, seeing as I'm up against a gym leader's kid."
Arthur stood at the battle field waiting for his opponent and thinking about his own battle strategy.

"Arthur huh? Well better head over to the second field then," he sighed as he got up and went to field 2.

"This match should be a piece of cake. Water conducts electricity, and 3/4 of the field is water, ha!"

"I won't show any mercie for this punk!" Lulu said as she made her way to field three to battle Erick.I must win....I have to win!

"Once both contestants have reached their assigned fields, they may begin."

((F.Y.I. I've added to the rules how I will deal with metronome.))

((Ummmm Psyches hasn't posted since he posted his profile so i have no one to fight))

"Nice, A water field, this is your time to shine Ludi" The Ludicolo started to dabce happily. "Calm down Ludi, i know you like the water but it's no need to get excited. Now where is my Opponent?"

((Well, now that the tournament has started, he has until teusday.))

"So the battle has started? Ok then..I'll send out...Shockbox! Go Shockbox!" Mike shouted as he sent out his Electabuzz.

"I'll wait for you to send out your Pokemon..."

((Just wondering but wouldn't it be easier if we did this one battle at a time instead of 3 going on at once?))

((Not really, cause if we do it that way, everyone else has to wait for their turn and might leave the RP out of boredom. I can manage by dividing up my post in to sections like so:

(Person A and B)

[statements]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Person C and D)

[statements]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Person E and F)

[statements]

So don't worry, I'll be able to manage. If anyone else has questions about how my DMing will work go ahead and ask.))

"OK then," said Arthur.
"Shine(( ))! I choose you!"

- ehh?? Where the...?

Erick open his eyes after falling asleep while on the PC.

- So, should I go to field 3? OK. I must hurry, this 6 will be ok.

Erick rushes to the battle field and smiles when he notices the water.

- This is just too good Go Beedrill! I'm sorry girl, but you stand no chance against us!!

(now, Daveshan we have a problem here. dark_latias181 can't reply on weekdays and I can't do it on weekends, so I'm afraid this won't work)

((Oh crap. Ok, best thing to do right now is to see how it works out. She may be able to log on once or twice during the week as you may be able to on the weekends.))

"The battle between Arthur and Mike may begin!"

"OK then, Shine use Sunny Day!"

"Sunny Day...I have to admit, nice strategy. Either he knew what was coming, or dumb luck, but exactly what I wanted anyway."

"Shockbox, use Focus Punch! With it using Sunny Day, this should hit."

"I hope..."

(Mike and Arthur)

As the molecules in the air adjust themselves to become a sort of magnifying glass ((that's the way I always figured sunny day would work)) the sunlight beams down on both Shine and Shockbox blinding the view of the sky but making things a lot clearer on the ground. It's even clear enough to give Shine a nice view of the focus punch that Shockbox lands on her face ((if Shine is a he, I'll edit)).

Although the blow seems to have done a significant amount of damage, it's far from a game winning move as Shine gets back to her feet much faster than expected.

Bob looked up at the screen on the wall as one of the other matches started. "Where is my opponent already, Anyway we'll be ready for when they come. Ludi go stand on the island in the middle of the areana." Bob turned his attention back to the screen just as the Focus Punch hit. "Man that's gotta hurt"
