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.

It had been a long time since the two of them had come here together, hadn't it?
Aster looked up at the Pit building, feeling a little nostalgic despite himself. Avander stopped with him, and followed his gaze, but without the same sentiments. For Avander, this was merely another day, and another job.
Still, at least he wasn't nervous. His career as a breeding drake had been baptized here, and Avander wasn't in the habit of taking losses.
Aster could only hope the record held. This wasn't exactly a free-for-all, but he'd heard rumors that there were Thundergugs in the mix of entrants, and he knew from his own experiences with Grunty that they were tough foes to take down.
Their opponent hadn't yet arrived when the two of them walked onto the sands. Maybe this would end in a forfeit, as did sometimes happen in tournaments.
He hoped not though. Avander had been honing his skills for a long time now, and Aster wanted to see those skills put to the test.

This was... weird. In just a few days, Ramal had gone from discovering the fighting pit, figuring out that tournaments existed, adopting a creature who was able to compete, and learning how to teach her to fight to standing there as a competitor. It had been a wild ride already, and this was just the beginning. Now he would have to show that he actually was a capable trainer, and this his new buddy Shelly was up to the task. It all seemed like a lot, but he did it with a smile on his face.
"Okay, big girl," he said as they approached the pit. He could feel that she was nervous around so many other creatures, or maybe he was projecting. "It's time to go, are you ready? Ah, who am I kidding? Of course you are! You're a star!" With that said, he took his place in the stands and let Shelly wander out onto the battlefield to face her opponent. There goes nothing!
[Ready.]

Notes
- Avander can use all moves and abilities he knows
- Shelly can use all moves and abilities she knows
- Avander's Hardy cancels out Shelly's Intimidation
- Shelly's Hardy cancels out Georgia's Intimidation
- Avander goes first due to higher Dexterity

Oh, and wouldn't you know it, there was a Thundergug, just as Aster had heard there would be. The corner of his mouth lifted in a wry smile. "Alright, let's get to work," Aster said to Avander, and with a last pat to the Wiurn's shoulder, he made his way up to the stands. The other trainer was certainly... distinctive in appearance, and Aster couldn't remember ever having seen him before.
From the way the Thundergug was moving though, it didn't seem particularly battle-hardened. Still, it was better to be safe than sorry... And realistically, it was going to take more than a single strike to fell one of these guys.
"Sing, Avander," Aster said, and clapped his hands over his ears. Before, they would have opened with a roar, but things were a little different now, and there were new strategies he wanted to try.
Avander took a deep breath, and readied himself...
(Avander uses Sonic Blast)

Their opponent was some kind of huge scaly creature with wings. That didn't look good for them, Ramal thought. Those wings no doubt made him way more mobile, and Shelly's major disadvantage was her lack of speed. Well, there was no way to find out except to do it, so that's exactly what he was planning to do.
"Okay big girl, it's time!" he said. Could she even hear him out there? She seemed so far away, but some of that might be his nerves dramatising things. "Shelly, smash!" he called out, as loudly as he could manage.
Shelly wasn't familiar with this weird place, but she did know what that word meant. Ramal and his voice were the only known entities in this situation. She looked over at the Wiurn with no fear in her eyes. She knew what she had to do. She stomped her huge paw onto the ground, tucked her head down and charged full force at him.
[Shelly uses Bash.]

Calculations
Avander uses Sonic Blast! Avander's Dexterity of 8 + 6 rolled by staff = 14 vs. the 3 Dexterity of Shelly Avander will deal the most damage possible! Avander's Strength of 10 + 4 damage of Sonic Blast = 14 14 - 6 Resistance of Shelly = 8 damage Shelly's Stamina is now 12
Shelly uses Bash! Avander's Danger Sense activates, Shelly misses her attack!

Avander breathed deep, his ribcage expanding with the volume of the breath, holding until he had a clear shot before releasing it in a powerful roar of sound. It reverberated through the space, hitting his opponent with a surprisingly strong impact. Avander had just enough time after that to sidestep the Thundergug's charge, though he had cut it pretty close, probably just to show off.
{Hey, take this seriously,} Aster said over the ribbon.
{I dodged it, didn't I?} Avander replied.
Aster sighed. Well, so far so good, despite Avander's attitude, though he hoped Avander would take things more seriously as the tournament went on. Now they just had to land what he hoped would be the finishing blow.
"Body slam," Aster called out. The 'Gug wasn't the only creature who could charge at their enemy. Avander lowered his head, then sprang forward, readying himself to ram into the Thundergug's massive bulk.

As Ramal could have expected, Shelly wasn't fast enough to catch the winged creature. He let out an impossibly loud blast of sound, causing Ramal to flinch and put his hands over his earholes. By the time he came back to reality and looked down at the battlefield, Shelly had already missed her attack and the flying thing had escaped unscathed. Damn!
"Ah, okay okay," he muttered to himself. "Shelly you have to try again! Smash Shelly, smash!"
Shelly did not like how this was going so far. The loud sound was so strong it was physically painful. She shook her huge head and tried to reassess the situation. At first she was just following orders, remembering the game they had been playing back in the park, but now it was personal. She let out a disgruntled snort and pointed her horn at Avander. This was it, she wouldn't miss this time! She charged with all of her might, hoping that this time, her horn made contact.
[Shelly uses Bash!]

Calculations
Avander uses Body Slam! Avander's Dexterity of 8 + 8 rolled by staff = 16 vs. the 3 Dexterity of Shelly Avander will deal the most damage possible! Avander's Strength of 10 + 9 Resistance = 19 19 - 6 Resistance of Shelly = 13 damage Shelly's Stamina is now -1
While Shelly did her absolute best to give Ramal what he asked for, she's no match for the Wiurn. She quickly thuds to the ground as the healing team rush in to work their magic.
Results Avander gains 2 levels and Aster gains 5 pit prize points Shelly gains 1 level and Ramal gains 3 pit prize points
