Camille (Togekiss)
★★★ ⭒ Level 3 — EXP: 00 / 10
Name Etymology:
A feminine given name associated with film and fame, rising to popularity in the early 1900's after several consecutive movies featured either lead actresses or main characters of the name.

Attitude and Motive:
Star of her own little show. Insistent on sharing the splendor that is herself with the whole joyous, adoring world.

Background:
Hatched from an egg some couple of years before her trainer first began battling competitively. In those early years, she was always difficult to pry from the television. She wasn't evolved enough to participate in the early circuits in those early years, but she never missed any match of her trainer that was broadcast. Eventually, she was able to take the stage herself, and she intends to keep it light and bright with her presence for as long as she is able.

Dark Forest (Iron Valiant)
★★★ ⭒ Level 3 — EXP: 00 / 10
Name Etymology:
A model that attempts to explain the Fermi Paradox, or the lack of apparent extraterrestrial intelligent life, by postuating that attempts to contact alien life are foolish and inherently deadly. The theory holds that any intelligent life is keeping quiet to avoid inevitable predation and destruction.

Attitude and Motive:
Pleasant and conversationable, as if by rehearsal.

Background:
A machine lifeform that emerged from Area Zero. Dark Forest is an astonishing triumph of future technology; displaying humanlike mannerisms, impressive physical ability, and ever-expanding intellect. When asked, they categorically deny their own sapience, citing that personhood "seems to be too much work to bother with."

They have a palpable distate for Janus and Juno, calling them "unintended" and "accidental", to contrast their own intential design.

All other rules standard.

  • Only Pokemon knowing Encore can be sent.
  • Encore does this:
The user gives their opponent an enthusiastic round of applause.

(If any target's most recently attempted action this round isn't a non-combination move, or if any target hasn't acted this round, this move can't execute.)

This non-combination move bypasses Decoys.

Inflict a unique status on the defender, noting both the current step number and that defender's most recently-attempted action this round, with the following effects:
● If the subject would attempt an action during the noted step number, except the step this condition was created; instead, discard this condition and the subject attempts the noted action.

Since the send-out and post order was predetermined, I'll include sendouts in this post.

"I feel like I should add some commentary here, just to keep the formatting nice.

I could feel the effect of Encore right away as I was issuing orders to Dark Forest!
I wanted to raw Taunt, hoping that Dark Forest would escape the first round
mostly unscathed. To deliver an attack + status combination, Shadow Of Mischief
would have to spend a costly resource.

That's not what ended up happening, but that resource was spent anyway. I'm
looking forward to seeing what comes next!
