The Pokémon Elimination Thread!

Either you are on the side of the original trio and their pokéball-refusing Pokemon, or you've always secretly wanted Team Rocket to just win for once!

THE RULES

1. You can only take one point away from one individual on one side and give one point to another individual on the other side - per post.
2. You must wait for at least ONE post to be made after your own before posting again. That, or you must wait for at least 24 hours.
3. You cannot bring back an individual once it has reached zero points. I know it's Halloween, but we're not doing zombies! Sorry!
4. When you remove the last point from an individual, mark it as ELIMINATED in FF0000 RED.
5. This will be a fast, fun game, so try and put some poké-fun into your posts!

Ash - ELIMINATED

Poké who? I only ever knew of Pokémon through my son. So, I must pick the cutest one and eliminate it from there.

Hiss, your mother wore army boots. Take that, you yellow, mouse-like creature with electrical abilities.

Laurence, the First Cleric Sir-Pees-a-Lot Huskyton had no idea what a Pokémon was. Was it some sort of food? A treat? A new toy for him to rip to shreds? All things fell into those categories, unless they were Mom and Dad or Leia (who was not his girlfriend Dad!). There was only one way for the husky to find out. Bite!

Pikachu 5 (+1)
Brock 4 (-1)

[Arnyn]

Oy oy! While Pikachu appreciates the return of his stolen point, Brock does not appreciate the removal! @Lorenzo Pee you're supposed to take one point off a team rocket member if you want to give a point to Pikachu!

Laurence glared at the disembodied voice. Well, he looked around for it fruitlessly and decided it was worth glaring at. How dare it make a bunch of unintelligible noise that he wasn't going to listen either way and not! How rude and inconsiderate was that? If that voice had not been disembodied, he would have howled at it and bit it, like a good husky. He needed to bite something now. Too bad it was this yellow thing he'd just rescued from the guy. Did it have a squeaker inside?

King Pikachu glares at Pikachu.

"Pii! Pikapika PIKA PIKA PI!" King Pikachu barked, showing off a drawing of a dejected looking pikachu in the background as a more prominent pikachu takes a spotlight.

"Piiiikaaaachuuuuu!" Pikachu screamed as he shoots out electricity to Pikachu.

Snake's Ahoy! Out comes the forked tongue, and with it, currents of electricity. Fried mouse smells good, thinks Ekan's tiny brain.

King Pikachu pulls out a packet of tax forms all marked in red.

"Pika, pika pika?!" King Pikachu yells, pointing at all the tax forms.

"Piiika pika chu pika pi!" King Pikachu then pulls out a chart which shows how much the other pikachu's tax evasion has cost the government in terms of ketchup bottles.

"Piiiiikaaaaachuuuuuu!" King Pikachu shoots a jolt of electricity at Pikachu.

Laurence was clearly in the right. Who and whatever that voice was had run off, scared of the might cleric beast / husky pup and what he could bring to bear. Speaking of bears, he really wished he'd brought a toy to chew on while whatever was happening was happening. There were others around and none of them seemed to like this little yellow, spicy creature. Naturally, Lorenzo Pee decided to down again.

Sis-boom-bah! My electric currents have cooked the mouse to perfection. And now I can dispose of it down my gullet. I never did like the feel of raw mouse slipping into my stomach.

Like so many of his toys, Mister Mutton, William H. Batty, and the Croc, the yellow rat thing was dead. He didn't leak stuffing though, which was a huge disappointment to Laurence. The best part of murdering toys and chewing things to bits was to see the stuffing inside. Even pot holders and towels that his father left momentarily unattended! This spicy, yellow rat-thing was not full of stuffing. In fact, the small white husky couldn't tell what it was full of. How strange! Well onto the find the next victim! Laurence was in the mood to chomp and jump.

Ash 4 (-1)

[Rivvy Elf]

"Pi, pika pika" mumbled King Pikachu, pulling out and showing a legal document saying "collective responsibility in cases for tax evasion."

"Pikapi pika pi ka pipipika chu," King PIkachu said, reading the law directly and throwing it a very short distance at Ash. "Pikachu! Pikapikachu!"

Having pronounced his doom, King Pikachu yelled as he shot out electricity at Ash.

Ash 3 (-1)

There was another one of those yellow rat things, but it was bigger and had a hat so Laurence assumed it was different from the one he'd just eaten. He was also extra spicy looking so the husky decided it might not be worth trying to bite him. Maybe he was friend? Laurence was always on the look out for new friends. He had quite a few in his neighborhood, especially Leia who was his best friend (still not his girlfriend Dad!), but he was not in his neighborhood right now. He had no idea where he was and for some reason that didn't bother him, not yet. He was too busy biting things and people to worry about that right now.

"Hiss!" I guess, Ash, your determination to be a great Pokémon Trainer may just have gone out with the trash. Yeh, you are a strong person, generally kind, brave, enthusiastic, compassionate, passionate, adventurous, selfless, fair-minded, trusting and good-natured. However, you can be stubborn, hot-headed, short-tempered, impatient, cocky, reckless, and sometimes impulsive little creep. And sometimes, because of that, you find yourself at the bottom of the heap.

Noticing the cute doggo, King PIkachu went "Chaaa" then coughed, maintaining composure. Out of nowhere, King Pikachu offered a tray of pokepuffs to the doggy:



King Pikachu then pulled out packets of tax forms all riddled with red marks all from different regions that Ash has been to.

"Pi pikachupika pika pi!" King Pikachu yelled in annoyance. "Chaaaa pikapi. Pikachu pika!"

His Royal Highness then pulled out a painting of himself with a stack of paperwork three times taller than him.

"Piiiikaaaachuuuuu!" And with a great yell, Pikachu zapped Ash, fainting him. Someone get him a Pokemon Center!

Laurence "Cleric Beast" Svartalf had no idea what a pokepuff was, nor was he entirely sure what the entity was that was offering them to him. If his dad were here, he would have made Laurence sit, give a paw, lay down, and then he'd get one. But Dad wasn't here, and what father didn't know wouldn't know...

Laurence pounced and devoured the entire tray of pokepuffs, he ate them so quickly that he didn't actually have a chance to see what they were. They smelled interesting and that was all he needed. They didn't taste like mesquite pods or dirt, his favorite outdoor snacks. He enjoyed them though.

He burped his appreciation to his newly found best friend and jumped on his hindpaws to give him an appropriate amount of thank you bites.

"Piii kaa! Pii kaa!" King PIkachu happily said, while trying to avoid the bites but yet liking them at the same time.

Electricity spout from his cheeks, somehow avoiding the cute doggo but hitting Misty.

Laurence stopped licking and biting to watching the kingly looking yellow beast shoot electricity out of his... cheeks? Laurence was just licking those and... he sat down and looked very confused. He even tilted his head to the side. The sound was quite loud and startling to the young husky, but it was that the bolt came from the creature's cheek that astounded him. He had done this. Right? Yes, undeniably, because he'd been licking this creature's cheeks, he'd caused this magnificent bolt. Laurence! There could be no denying this most obvious and indisputable fact. No court would not side with him, especially if the yellow beast backed him up on this claim. He would, right?

He could feel some excitement zoomies coming on...

'No more laps in the pool for you, Misty. I am Kralfed! Watch me eat! I mean, feast! Or was that sup? Consume? Devour? ' He walks away to ponder what verb he and his brothers used when they were over yonder beyond the Merlock Mountains, near the marsh of Tode, in their deep, dank, cold cellar ready to strip the flesh from the bones.
