LR4 M1 - Azurekyu VS Copy

AZURE: Kyu kyu! SCRATCH: Do I have to...? AZURE: Kyu!!

[Azure began dragging Scratch out of bed.]

SCRATCH: Fine...

[Scratch got up, slowly walking out of the room.]

SCRATCH: Why're we even doing this? SCRATCH: Blue doesn't care... AZURE: Mi... kyu kyu, mimikyu. SCRATCH: I don't need a break! AZURE: ... SCRATCH: I'm fine. COPY: ŏ_ȏ SCRATCH: Oh-! SCRATCH: S- sorry, I didn't see you there... COPY: 0v0; AZURE: Kyu? SCRATCH: Do... you two... wanna get to know eachother? AZURE: Kyu.

[Azure began to drag Scratch along again.]

SCRATCH: Aww... COPY: OnO

[Copy dashed towards them, follwing the two inside the battle room.]

[The room changed in a flash of light, now resembling a grassy field. Relaxing ambience could be heard, though there wasn't a source to the noise.]

COPY: u‿u SCRATCH: Huh... AZURE: Mi? Mimi kyu kyu? SCRATCH: Yeah... this... this is really nice. SCRATCH: ...Thanks for bringing me out here... reminds me a lot of home...

[Scratch layed down in the grass next to Copy.]

[The two of them layed there for a while, listening to the music. Half an hour had passed and]

CRACK.

[A small purple crack appeared in the grass, grabbing the attention of Copy and Azure.]

COPY: ó_ō AZURE: Kyu...

[Azure reached a claw into the purple, causing it to expand rapidly. He fell in, Copy running away. It wasn't fast enough.]

COPY: (O_O)!!

[One left.]

AZURE: Ow...

[Azure looked around, seeing another pokémon layed on the floor. He walked over to it and poked it.]

AZURE: Eww... AZURE: Why'd I touch that?? AZURE: Obviously it'd be gooey, it's a- DITTO: Ditto? AZURE: AH!

[Azure leaned against a branch.]

AZURE: Oh Arceus you scared me so much- DITTO: Ditto?

[The ditto moved over to Azure.]

AZURE: Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry. AZURE: Ugh, it's dark in here- DITTO: Ditto. AZURE: Hey, can you help me find a way out of here? DITTO: Ditto! AZURE: Great!

[The two pokémon walked off in a random direction, hoping to find something, but while it was calm down under the surface was anything but.]

SCRATCH: W- what did you do!? THE BREACHED: There was an error. SCRATCH: Where is he!? THE BREACHED: Below. SCRATCH: Wh- what does that mean!?

[THE BREACHED pointed to the hole surrounded by glowing purple.]

SCRATCH: Get him out!! SCRATCH: Please...

[Scratch fell to the floor. The music was no longer ambient and relaxing, now intense.]

THE BREACHED: ...

[THE BREACHED looked at the hole in silence. It knew why it was here. Saving the two who had fallen would go against that.]

THE BREACHED: I can't do that. SCRATCH: I... THE BREACHED: I'm sorry. THE BREACHED: But you need to go down too. SCRATCH: N- no!

[THE BREACHED began to approach Scratch. She dug through her pockets, searching for something useful. A Pokéball.]

SCRATCH: S- stay back!

[She held the ball out, stepping backwards. THE BREACHED was not deterred.]

[Scratch took another step back before throwing the pokéball at it.]

THE BREACHED: ...

[THE BREACHED stumbled backwards. It's screen was cracked where the ball had hit but it didn't look like it was in pain.]

THE BREACHED: No more games.

[THE BREACHED began to walk towards Scratch again.]

THE BREACHED: No- no- no- games. No THE BREACHED: More games-

[But it fell to the ground after a few steps, completely inactive. Scratch walked over, crouching to get a better look at it's screen.]

SCRATCH: No power?

[She sat down, holding the head of THE BREACHED in her hands.]

SCRATCH: That's... SCRATCH: Good? SCRATCH: How am I gonna get them out now though...?

Woah what happened to scratch

[blueengland-ocposting]

The Scientist / The Nobody

[Copy-Cat walked across the remains of the ship, thinking about his next opponent. Someone familiar, someone he fought back in round one, and yet through everything that's been happening they've been changed.]

COPY-CAT: Sigh.

[It's all come down to this penultimate match. If he could win once, he could do it again.]

COPY-CAT: Okay, let's finally settle this.

[Copy-Cat walked to the battle room where his confused friend waits.]

POKÉMAN: Hello, The Inventor. I... hope you can go easy on us... COPY-CAT: Yeah, yeah...

[Copy-Cat pushed the door open, POKÉMAN following him inside.]

[The room was dark, the two of them illuminated in colour. Copy-Cat was red and dressed in his normal outfit, POKÉMAN was yellow and purple, they hadn't had any outfit changes though.]

POKÉMAN: This is strange. COPY-CAT: Mhm.

[Copy-Cat took out a sword and slashed straight through POKÉMAN's chest, though nothing happened.]

POKÉMAN: Ohh... POKÉMAN: That... didn't hurt?

[Inside their body was a mass of darkness, moving around. It began to repair the cut.]

POKÉMAN: I feel strange... COPY-CAT: I...

[Copy-Cat backed away. He didn't know what he was dealing with here.]

POKÉMAN: I thought we were friends...? POKÉMAN: I... thought... I knew who I was...

[POKÉMAN say down on the ground, staring into the empty space around them. The lights on their body began to get weird and shaky.]

POKÉMAN: Why don't I know... COPY-CAT: ...

[Copy-Cat moved over, sitting down next to them.]

COPY-CAT: Is this... okay? POKÉMAN: I don't know... POKÉMAN: Am I okay? COPY-CAT: I don't think you are... POKÉMAN: I'm not. COPY-CAT: Who are you? POKÉMAN: I don't know. POKÉMAN: Do you? COPY-CAT: I... think so. COPY-CAT: You're my friend and... COPY-CAT: I'm sorry for trying to... kill you. POKÉMAN: It's alright. POKÉMAN: I don't feel anything. COPY-CAT: You don't feel who you are. COPY-CAT: You don't feel yourselves? POKÉMAN: No... POKÉMAN: No, I do... POKÉMAN: It's hard to... see who I am through all of these memories... POKÉMAN: I don't think I'm anyone... COPY-CAT: You're someone. COPY-CAT: You're here, talking to me. POKÉMAN: Yes... POKÉMAN: But who am I? COPY-CAT: A friend. POKÉMAN: ... POKÉMAN: I like that... COPY-CAT: Me too... COPY-CAT: I need to try harder to be a friend. POKÉMAN: ... POKÉMAN: Yes... POKÉMAN: I think you should apologise to The Mean Girl. COPY-CAT: How did you know about that? POKÉMAN: A guess... COPY-CAT: Lucky you. POKÉMAN: I'm not lucky... COPY-CAT: I- COPY-CAT: Yeah...

[The two of them sat there for a while, not talking.]

COPY-CAT: Thanks for uh... being so calm about everything. COPY-CAT: I don't think I would've snapped out of this "I need to win at all costs" mentality if you weren't. POKÉMAN: Thank you for helping me see who I am... POKÉMAN: Even if I still don't know... COPY-CAT: How does it feel? POKÉMAN: Awful. COPY-CAT: I won't push you then. POKÉMAN: Thank you. COPY-CAT: Let's just... relax and listen to some music. POKÉMAN: That sounds nice...

THE GRAND FINALE // THE HEALER | THE REACTION | THE WRONGED

MED-KIT: So... this is it, huh? POKÉMAN: It seems so. MED-KIT: I wish it was a bit more... bombastic. POKÉMAN: I don't. RAD: ido!! MED-KIT: ...It might be a good thing this isn't as much of a spectacle as other rounds. MED-KIT: I... don't want to be twisted around and split apart like that again. POKÉMAN: We're still stuck like this. MED-KIT: When they get Blue back we can fix everything that happened. POKÉMAN: It hurts. POKÉMAN: I can't tell who I'm meant to be. RAD: i cna't tell anythmg all the time MED-KIT: That's really concerning. POKÉMAN: Can we look at the stars before this ends? POKÉMAN: Just... one more time. MED-KIT: Yeah. MED-KIT: I miss being able to look at the stars and find peace. RAD: yayyay!!

LR3 M1 - Azurekyu VS Hallowland

HALLOW: Alright, come on. SCRATCH: I don't wanna... HALLOW: You have to. AZURE: Kyu, kyu! HALLOW: Even he agrees. SCRATCH: Hmpf... SCRATCH: Fine...

[Scratch gets up and follows the others to the battle room.]

SCRATCH: WOAGH-

[She tripped on a large rock, probably displaced by the whole floating island being created thing. She tumbles into the battle room.]

AZURE: KYU!! HALLOW: That's not good. HALLOW: Come on.

[Hallowland readies his bat before walking inside, Azure following behind him.]

[Inside was a large and dark forest, not a sound to be heard.]

HALLOW: Something's wrong. ???: Hehehehehe...

[Something flies past Hallowland. He swings his bat only to find it's been replaced by a wooden stick.]

HALLOW: Of course... AZURE: Kyu? HALLOW: Come at me. ???: Hehehahahaha!

[The flying thing reveals itself...]

SCRATCH: Hello! AZURE: !! HALLOW: What happened? HALLOW: You weren't in here nearly long enough for something like this to happen... SCRATCH: Huh? HALLOW: Something's definitely wrong in here. HALLOW: Wait here. SCRATCH: Wha- SCRATCH: No! SCRATCH: This is my dark spooky forest! SCRATCH: I think?

[A twig snaps.]

HALLOW: Great. HALLOW: Guess he's not given up on the bosses yet. SCRATCH: What are you-

[A gray figure jumps out from the darkness.]

SCRATCH: AH! PLACEHOLDER: ... HALLOW: Go away. PLACEHOLDER: ..... HALLOW: Fine. HALLOW: Guess we're fighting.

[Hallowland takes out the wooden stick, twirling it in his hand. He gets into a fighting stance.]

AZURE: KYU KYU! SCRATCH: I'll... help? SCRATCH: Yeah! HALLOW: Good. HALLOW: This'll be like a slice of Blitz. AZURE: ... SCRATCH: ...Like a slice of cake? HALLOW: Sigh. PLACEHOLDER: ...!

And the winner is...

Radiation Anon!

With 4 votes, Rad wins the whole thing! Yay! This tournament was completely pointless he was gonna win anyways. Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted though! And I hope you don't mind the shitty doodle I'm tired and I don't want to put much more into this anymore.

Next time, I'll see if anyone else wants to work on this with me. Doing all the art and writing for something like this is very taxxing.

Oh, and one more thing - tomorrow you will get to vote on who you want to join that next one! Some characters wont come back, even if they get a lot of support purely because I don't want to write for them, but rest assured, all contestants will be appearing in some form, even if they don't appear as actual contestants this time.

OWOBALL: Heyy Mimic! MIMIC: Oh! ...Woball. MIMIC: What's up? OWOBALL: The ceiling. MIMIC: Pft hahaha. OWOBALL: It wasn't that funny. MIMIC: I like to laugh at things! OWOBALL: Okay.

[OwOball walks inside the room, looking at the various machines lying around. Most are incomplete.]

OWOBALL: ...Does he ever do anything other than build this stuff? MIMIC: I mean- OWOBALL: Other than work at the cafe. MIMIC: That's still two things. OWOBALL: ...Yeah, okay, I guess it is. MIMIC: Why are you here? OWOBALL: I... really just wanted to talk to someone who I knew, you know? OWOBALL: There's so many strange people on this floating island... MIMIC: Yeah, you can say that again.

[The weirdos turn towards the door as it swings open again, POKÉMAN walking in holding the broken body of BREACHED.]

MIMIC: AH! POKÉMAN: We need The Inventor to fix.

[Their voice was double. Two distinct voices layered on top of eachother, both with slightly different tones.]

OWOBALL: W- what the hell are you...? POKÉMAN: What am I?

[POKÉMAN dropped the BREACHED onto the floor.]

POKÉMAN: I don't know what am I. POKÉMAN: What am I...?

[POKÉMAN walked out of the room, seemingly contemplating their existence.]

OWOBALL: Uhh... MIMIC: I... MIMIC: Um, I'm gonna try fixing that robot guy they dropped. OWOBALL: You don't know a thing about inventions like those. MIMIC: I might not know much, but I have been watching Copy-Cat do some work lately! MIMIC: It can't be that hard anyways, just some wires and stuff in the wrong place. MIMIC: And a new screen...

Failure #11 - Azurekyu Three vote difference (2-5)

A girl and a pokémon, a rather unassuming duo to make it this far in bracket. They defeated fire-obsessed goobers, a magical living pumpkin person, & a rather normal guy. Scratch was definitely badly effected by watching everyone else get twisted, Azure having to drag her to do anything...

It doesn't seem fair to me that they're the only contestant with multiple members, good thing they're out.

LOSS #11 - POKÉMAN Three vote difference (2-5)

A girl and a pokémon, a SINGLE BEING. They defeated fire-obsessed goobers, a magical living pumpkin person, & a rather normal guy. Scratch was WEAK, Azure WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH.

It WAS NEVER fair.

SCRATCH: Ugh... BLUE?: Wow, you look awful! AZURE: Kyu... FLORIDA: What's up? Did ya not get enough sleep? SCRATCH: Mhm... BLUE?: I have the perfect solution!

[Not BlueEngland tosses a bucket of water onto her. It's cold, just like their soul.]

SCRATCH: Agh!! AZURE: Kyu!!! BLUE?: Now we can start! BLUE?: Everything is set up and ready, just head into the room and try not to die! FLORIDA: Yeah, let's do it- FLORIDA: Wait, die?

[Not BlueEngland shoves the three of them into the battle room.]

BLUE?: Have fun!

FLORIDA: Gh! GOOBER: HELLO there welCOME to my SPECIAL FIGHTING ROOM

[It was hot, everything was on fire. Goober looked like they were dripping. It was gross and very uncomfortable to look at.]

SCRATCH: O-oh Arceus... FLORIDA: Goober? Are you okay? GOOBER: I'M FINE. GOOBER: hello SCRATCH thAnks for MAKING ME LOSE BEFORE SCRATCH: I- I'm sorry! FLORIDA: Don't apologise to him. FLORIDA: We need to destroy him. FLORIDA: Show him why he lost. SCRATCH: B- but... SCRATCH: It's my fault he's...

[Azure slaps her with his... shadowy... claw... hand thing? I don't know pokémon biology.]

FLORIDA: Are you ready?

[Scratch looks unsure, before giving a heavy nod.]

FLORIDA: Good. FLORIDA: Goober, your ass is mine! GOOBER: TRY ME WATERWATCHER SCRATCH: A- Azure, go! AZURE: Kyu kyu!

R1 M1 - Copy-Cat VS Azurekyu

BLUE: Alrighty, it's ready! BLUE: Come one and come all to the Battle Room! COPY-CAT: Hey. AZURE: Kyu! BLUE: Just go in, press the switch, you know this all by now. BLUE: I'll see you when it's over, I guess!

[The three walked in, Blue shutting the door behind them. Copy-Cat flipped the switch and the room instantly morphed...]

COPY-CAT: This... looks like my coffee shop? SCRATCH: It's so cozy... COPY-CAT: Thanks. COPY-CAT: While we're in here we might as well have something to drink right?

[He starts the coffee machine.]

COPY-CAT: What do you like? SCRATCH: Hot chocolate, if you have any that is... COPY-CAT: Of course.

[The two sit there while the machine prepares the drinks.]

SCRATCH: Can I, uh... SCRATCH: Can I put some music on? SCRATCH: I... forgot my headset at home. COPY-CAT: Yeah, sure. COPY-CAT: It's nice to have something to listen to, gets a bit quiet in here sometimes. SCRATCH: Yeah...

[She opens a video, lofi hip hop beats to study and relax to. The machine finishes making the drinks soon after.]

COPY-CAT: Here.

[Scratch smiled.]

COPY-CAT: Sorry about how small the chairs are, this place doesn't usually get actual humans visiting. SCRATCH: It's fine, really.

[They continued talking and listening to music, just having a good time.]

BLUE?: Alright you two, have fun! BLUE?: And don't die... SCRATCH: W- what did he say? GOOBER: i literally don't careeeee let's fight already i'm boredddd SCRATCH: A- actually I-

[The room quickly transforms into a large open area of beige, a pokéball appearing in Goober's hand.]

GOOBER: i bet my stupid ball creature can beat your rag SCRATCH: Y- you're probably right... GOOBER: oh come on it's not fun if you're already defeated, let's fight!!!! AZURE: Kyu! SCRATCH: W- well, if you're sure...

[Catby swipes at Charmander a few times, quickly causing it to faint!]

SCRATCH: Ah!! That is a bad kirby! GOOBER: we are going to have to defeat him at least GOOBER: or are you just gonna watch? SCRATCH: Yeah, okay, I get it...

[Fight!]

[blueengland-ocposting]

[A reluctant mimic slug is being dragged onto the boat by Jay.]

[So, you know, the usual.]

JAY: you're really heavy for a slug COPY: (0n0)

[Eventually Jay manages to get a good grip on it and tosses it on board.]

JAY: i win again!

[Jay leaves to go pick up some more people for the cruise, leaving the mimic slug to lie on the ship's floor.]

COPY: o_o; SCRATCH: Hey, uh, are you okay? COPY: ... ^_^; SCRATCH: You look very... uh... SCRATCH: Shaken up? SCRATCH: Is.. that the word? COPY: ... 0_0; SCRATCH: Oh, you can't talk? COPY: ^_^ SCRATCH: Well, uh... SCRATCH: Do you need anything?

[Copy shakes its head.]

SCRATCH: W- well, if you need anything later, come and get me. SCRATCH: I'd be happy to help.

[Scratch walks away, leaving the mimic slug alone on the floor. It seems to be fine though, so.]

[blueengland-ocposting]

BLUE: Alright, is everything set up? Are you ready to go? AUSTRA: YEAH.

BLUE: Wonderful! BLUE: I'll leave the two of you to do your thing, okay?

[Blue leaves allowing the two slimes to do their thing.]

[Their thing, of course, being loud music.]

SCRATCH: Why is it so loud... SCRATCH: I just want to sleep... AZURE: I'll talk to them... SCRATCH: N- no, don't- AZURE: Your sleep is more important than their music! AZURE: I'm going.

[Azure leaves, Scratch not even trying to stop him.]

AZURE: HEY! CAULLI: AWW LOOK A CUTE POKÉMON AUSTRA: YOU SHOULD LEAVE, THIS ISN'T AN AREA FIT FOR SMALL CREATURES. AZURE: Turn down the music my friend is trying to sleep. AUSTRA: BY THE WAY WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. CAULLI: LMAO AUSTRA: CAULLI DON'T BE RUDE. AUSTRA: ANYWAYS CAN YOU LEAVE NOW?

[Azure used scratch!]

[It was super effective! Foe SPEAKERS fainted!]

CAULLI: WHAT THE FUCK AUSTRA: I'M CALLING SECURITY. HALLOW: What. CAULLI: THIS FUCKING GUY BROKE MY SPEAKERS AUSTRA: OUR SPEAKERS. CAULLI: WHATEVER I'M FUCKING PISSED HALLOW: Alright Mimikyu do you have a defence? AZURE: Scratch couldn't sleep. HALLOW: Mhm. HALLOW: Did you two get any of that? CAULLI: NO AUSTRA: NOT AT ALL. HALLOW: Yeah so I'm gonna have to put you in the naughty room. HALLOW: Do. Not. Ask why it's called that.

[Hallowland picks up Azure who tries to wiggle out in vain.]

HALLOW: That will teach you to cause property damage. AZURE: Ugh...
