Please note...- The last date to post your introduction post is 72 hours from this post. Without an introduction post you cannot battle. - Certain moves can't be used in the Pit because of the surroundings and other moves can affect more than one creature at the same time. After all introduction posts have been posted you will be informed whether those two apply to any of your creatures' moves. - That you have 72 hours to post a response to a calculation post and/or roleplay post. The 72 hour deadline is not extended if your foe posts after a calculation post. Not meeting the deadline results in an automatic disqualification. - That characters level once every 20 posts in the Fighting Pit, but pets gain levels and loyalty towards their owners normally.

Name of Owner: Fiera Ferella Name of Pet: Madison Species and Breed of Pet: Candy Corn Bat Level: 42 Loyalty to Owner: 44 Stats:Stamina: 2 Strength: 1 Resistance: 1 Dexterity: 4 Mentality: 2 Any natural boost to stats: None Special Abilities: Fly, Nightvision, Danger Sense (10), Stone Skin (4), Hardy (5) Moves Taught: Scratch (1), Screech (3), Wing Buff (3), Echolocation (5), Sonic Waves (5) Abilities Used on Command: Fly (3) Tricks Taught: Name, Come, No Creature Carries Ribbon? No *Special!* Chosen extra move *Special!*: N/A, no ribbon. The air yawned between Fiera and the opposite side of the pit. It felt like the battles were dragging on and on- how many had the pair of them even done by this point? She couldn't say. Still, that only told Fiera that they must be reaching the end of the tournament by now. Madison seemed just as ready to go as usual. The candy corn bat had been a fantastic sport about all of this so far, though Fiera had to admit that it had been just as much luck as it had been talent that had gotten them this far. How many lucky hits, how many times had Madison just barely managed to squeak in an attack before her opponent had the opportunity to strike. Fiera dared not predict how this fight was going to go- letting her ego get ahead of her would be their downfall. She released Madison into the pit, and took her place in the stands. The candy corn bat settled on the ground. Win or lose, they were ready to go. (Ready!)

‘Seems we aren’t the first to have arrived Envix.’ She hears Twilight say to her in her mind as the door gets pushed open by her human companion’s hand.
The sight that greets her inside the pit certainly testifies that compared to last time, it is not they who did the waiting.
‘It seems so, it is even one I am already familiar with.’ Perhaps not familiar in that they know each other on a personal level, but when it comes to there species? Then yes.
She tends to live with one near her on a constant basis after all.
Sinking into the ground and rising up while she folds and shrinks her wings close to her body, and largens her mouth as she opens her shadowy jaws, she makes her teeth appear sharper and longer then they actually are. Already starting to perform her intimidation technique on her prey as she hears the door close behind her.
Though while she waits for Twilight to give the signal while she slowly circles her prey, she blinks in confusion when it doesn’t seem to be working.
Perhaps she is underestimating their race, as the one living near her did react to this type of tactic when she wants to be alone for a while, and not get pestered.
‘You don’t suppose this one could?’ She lets the question hang as she examines the anomaly before her.
‘Not naturally, and very likely you won’t see them show up in tournaments should that happen.’ She hears her companion voice out her thought almost immediately back, Envix takes for just a second a glance back and up where she knows the people who enter others for these sort of things sit.
Twilight’s expression from what she can tell with this distance is nervous, but focused as she taps the railing with her fingers. While the emotion, just a flash, seems to be express the same thing she sees on Twilight’s face.
Glancing back at her opponent, she wonders.
Wonders if they would have that tight of a bond as well that emotions seems to be capable of getting exchanged? And what that would do to the other should they get hurt?
Envix knows that the emotional ties she is somehow making with her companion who doesn’t even seem to be aware of it on a mental level, haven’t become established enough to be constant, might never even be with how unstable they are in their moods.
But she can’t help but wonder, what would happen? And perhaps if her opponent has been able to make those mental ties as well, she’d be able witness it first claw?
‘We are about to start Envix, the referee is about to signal it. Get ready, keep your thoughts focused and don’t let them stray.’ She hears her companion say, she feels surprised in a way that Twilight had somehow noticed it. Perhaps, just perhaps, it might not be as unstable a connection as she thought it would have been.
Her jaws form a terrifying grin at her opponent, full of promises..
But what?
That is for them to find out.
[Ready]
Envix Lv 61.4, Ly 51.4 Twilight 0.1

Oh gods, what was THAT supposed to be? Fiera watched with something between fascination and disgust as she watched as something dark and... she wanted to say sticky sink into the arena with Madison, moving like living liquid. What was it even made of? She watched as it circled Madison, but to her bat's credit, she didn't seem intimidated at all. Thank goodness for all that training they did. She watched as its face, otherwise featureless except for two glowing eyes, split into a horrifying toothy grin. Fiera grimaced- she didn't want Madison to have to go anywhere near this thing. "Madison!" She called, and saw the candycorn bat's ear twitch. She was listening, but clearly didn't want to take her eyes off of her opponent. Fiera was happy to oblige that. "Use screech!" She called. Madison immediately reared up, taking a deep breath, and Fiera quickly plugged her ears. She had good timing- a moment later the arena was filled with an ear piercing sound, loud and high pitched. Fiera was amazed that a creature Madison's size could make such a racket.

With the sound of a gong going off, she knew the fight has started, and her excitement rises at it, making her green eyes glow even brighter then normal.
Sinking in the ground and rising, she circles around her opponent, trying to find the best angle again.
She can’t go look up in the stands again where her companion is at, just to find out what she might think of her current opponent without saying a word about it through the ribbon, not without giving her opponent the opening it needs to attack her.
But she still felt just for a moment a flash of excitement from her at the start of the gong and the crowd she barely takes notice of starting to yell in excitement to whichever opponent they are cheering for.
When she is fast enough with circling around her opponent to reach the back, she readies her claws. ‘Lets do another Ethereal Claw attack Envix!’ she hears her say, and can’t help but agree with it, while she may have at first aimed for the shadows, that one would work just as well.
Yet the moment she rushes right at her opponent, she hears it scream in a way that startles her enough to stop, and had she been able to hiss, she would have done it in anger like the great sea serpent she is trying to imitate.
[Skips her Turn?*)
Envix Lv 62.0, Ly 52.0 Twilight 0.2
* If not, it would be Ethereal Claw. Not sure if Shadow Immunity also makes it immune for Screech since it is on the list of shadow moves, but sound moves could just as well only have a pet be immune for it if they have Deaf.

Calculations
-Madison Uses Screech --Envix will skip her next turn due to the screech, in addition her danger sense is canceled (will not proc).
-Envix Skips her turn due to the Screech
Both contestants still have the same amount of dexterity, a die has been rolled- -Envix will go first this turn.
[Note; Immunities apparently only block 'damage' from the element according to a question I had answered to me a long while back.]

‘You alright Envix? That sound was just painful to hear.’ She hears her companion say while she rises up from her own shadows and spreads her wings for just a moment as she contemplates what the best way would be to handle this fight.
She has yet to tear her claws or fangs into her opponent after all, and narrows her eyes at that thought.
‘I am fine, it merely surprised me.’ Her mouth is closed, the grin on her face wiped away, no longer all that amused. It was more like that sound startled her and makes her miss the opportunity to attack at the perfect angle she had been aiming for all this while when ‘swimming’ around her opponent.
But she can still rectify that aspect at least.
She just needs to get the perfect angle once more, but try something else once she does get near enough with it.
Hopefully it won’t try again with that blasted sound.
Stretching out her wings, she makes the motion as if she is diving into the ground and seemingly swimming in the sand as if it is water.
‘Let’s try for a Shadow Strike?’ She hears Twilight say just as she reaches the perfect angle again where the light casts enough shadows to make it work.
‘It is almost as if you are reading my mind.’ She comments idle for just a second as she rises up, her mouth opened and large sharp teeth getting formed, even though she won’t be using it. She can still try to intimidate the other in some way hopefully.
And makes her move as she rushes quickly at the orange bat, claws formed and outstretched.

Envix Lv 62.1, Ly 52.1 Twilight 0.3
[Thanks for the info Renathan! Hadn’t been too sure of it since I think I’ve read somewhere in the past Telepathy gets blocked by Psychic Immunity, so I thought immunity blocked all kinds of effects too, but wasn’t certain of it because it was a sound attack. Definitely helps to know it is only about damage from the specific element immunity!]

Fly or attack, fly or attack. Fiera was utterly torn. On one hand, Madison had left this... shadow beast reeling, and they might have an opening here. On the other hand, they usually took this opportunity to fly away and get out of the opponent's reach. But on a third hand, perhaps a rather freakish one sticking out of Fiera's back, she was pretty sure she had seen some sort of wings peel themselves off of the back of this creature before. Could it take to the skies and fly as well? If that was the case, Madison would be no better up there. Fiera's heart dropped as the creature started shaking off the effects of the screech. She had to make a snap decision before she lost the chance. She bit her lip, nearly drawing blood. "Madison, now!" She shouted suddenly, her heart pounding. "Use sonic waves!" She said. Madison immediately turned around, facing the beast. Another sound welled up in her throat, just as loud as the last, but harsher, with a more buzzing tone. As it rang out, it was even worse than screech- physically painful as opposed to surprising. Fiera could barely take it... and she hoped that her opponent couldn't take it at all.

Calculations
-Envix uses Shadow Strike! --Madison's danger sense kicks in, Shadow Strike misses.
-Madison uses Sonic Waves! --Sonic Waves deals a flat 4 damage. -Damage of 4 - Envix's Resistance of 0 = 4 --Envix's Stamina of 2 - 4 = -2
Outcome
The Sonic Waves prove to be too much for the Shadow Lurker, knocking her out. Immediately the pit healers come out to attend to the contestants.
---
-Fieraferella gets 3 pit prize points and Madison gets 2 levels for winning. -Twilight-Claw gets 1 pit prize point and Envix gets 1 level for competing.
