Season 19, Week 3
Charizard
(Pokémon Series)
 
Charizard's rise through Middle has just begun! You think that an old man with powerful wind magic and one hundred runes written across his body are enough to fell a flying giant lizard? Think again: Charizard's powerful fire blasts, claw slashes and body slams will carve Crowley's fragile and angsty self a new set of inscriptions, but he won't find them anywhere near as useful. Crowley's Cyclone Rune can't stop Charizard's attacks in time - and the lizard shall prove that Pokémon CAN rule in the Duelling League too.

A wizard up against a a lizard...an old man should be able to handle this perfectly fine. He may not have a great deal of options, but what he has is good enough. A mix of damage, healing, more damage and more damage and healing a the same time should do the job well enough to crush this nuisance. Even if Charizard resists Shredding and Storms Crowley has more than enough charges to make up for that, especially against an opponent who cannot heal. There is no flame that cannot be snuffed by a Cyclone.

"Hmmm, let's see what we have here." Crowley said, looking over Brey's meticulous research.

After last week, Crowley had basically strongarmed Brey into giving him as much info as possible about every member of the Duelling League. He'd been useful before, though possibly not in the way he'd planned.

"Charizard: Winged lizard on fire....pah, he's a dragon, you fool. Uses fire attacks and physical blows, can lower accuracy, generally simple fighter...hmmm. "

"Let's see. First, I assume he left out at least one important fact. Secondly, his idea of "Blow the lizard out of the arena when he uses a flying attack." isn't a good one. Well, it's at least useful basics." He said, walking into the Arena.

"Char! Charicharchar!" Charizard said, flapping his wings anxiously.

"...maybe the fact he forgot to mention here is that the thing's not bright?" Crowley said, frowning doubtfully at the lizard.

As the match was started, Crowley shrugged, and blasted the Pokemon into a wall with a blast of wind magic, stunning him momentarily.

"Char? Charar?" Charizard said, puzzled.

"...yes. Wind. Stupid liz-oof!" Crowley said, barely avoiding the full blast of flames from Charizard's flamethrower breath.

"Well, so far, he's been right. Hmmm." Crowley shrugged, ignored the fact that his clothes were on fire in places, and used his powerful Shining Wind to heal himself and blast back Charizard yet again.

"Cha....CHAR!" The Pokemon said.

And burst into massive, roaring flames.

"...What? What is that thing do-" Were Crowley's last words last words, before being caught in a massive pillar of flame.

"Uhhhhnnn. I'm too old for things like this." Crowley said, from his hospital bed.

"I told you you should have just blown him out." Brey said. "But noooo, why would you listen to me. I've just given you good advice every other time..." He said, starting to walk out of the room.

Crowley's Cyclone Rune glinted, and a sudden gust of wind caught Brey and shoved him out the nearby window.

On the one hand, Crowley's room was on the first floor.

On the other, the window wasn't open.

"Next time, don't forget to mention when the stupid things have more than one form to choose from." Crowley cheerfully called out the window to the stunned and bleeding Brey....
