Lemina > Sceptile

Pokemon aren't stupid.  Oh, sure, they get bossed around in souped up cock fights by ten year olds, but you have to remember; fighting is something they do ANYWAY, humans aren't any better at not being bossed around  by ten year olds, and out in the wild there aren't magical machines that heal grievous injury in the time it takes to hum da-da-dada-DA!  The utterly random usage of moves out in the wilds is a show Pokemon learn to put on so trainers stand a chance against them.  And of course, listening to trainer commands is part of the whole arrangement.
Freed from human control, a Pokemon like Sceptile is more than capable of figuring things out.  Things like "my opponent is a greedy, arguably psychotic little girl" and "Lemina is famous for saying things like 'Mega Magic Flame!'".  Faced with the prospect of battling a crazed pyromaniac incapable of mercy or restraint (like any good Capitalist), Sceptile remembered its typing and wisely went and did something less painful.
Unfortunately a life of battle doesn't prepare you for distinguishing between video games well, and playing Pokemon Stadium ended up being longer and at least as painful as the burning, but you can't win them all.

Jude > Twaikin

--

There is a saying, that men in prison look at the mud, but some can see the stars.

Well, Twaikin is a man with vision, and so he decided to dig through the mud all those prisoners saw, and before long he actually managed to dig out all of the prisoners in one of the hypothetical prisons. All things considered a victory for freedom everywhere, but also a heavy toll on Twaikin, who rewarded himself with a good nap.

Unfortunately he napped when the match began. Jude came, saw, and was awarded a win.

Not the most optimal way to win, and surprising to most everyone but the (vanished) bookie, but hey. You've got to take what you can get, and this is about as good as it'll ever get.

Eileen>Red

Upon learning who his opponent is, Red immediately conceded the match. He is a superhero. Eileen is a part-time damsel in distress. There are certain things superheroes simply could not do and punching damsels in distress is one of them.

The fact that said damsel in distress could also become invulnerable and hand Red his ass ten ways to Sunday before a crowd of millions was purely coincidental.

Isabel > Swampert

Nobody warned Swampert of a date with death. Nobody warned of anything much really. With all the other excitement going on in Middle including the match up of two beautiful women in Jeane and Mitsuru everyone just sort of ... forgot. Isabel was paid due respect of course, nobody wanted to mess with her or her formidable and sometimes rather morbid companion, Mathias and since Mathias had made it known that many corpses would be thrown into the nearest body of water if Isabel suffered an insult anywhere near she did last time she visited the arena ... yeah.

So it was that a confused Swampert found itself stuffed into a Pokeball and then deposited into the arena. Before the poor creature even had a chance to examine it's surroundings there came a devastating cry.

"RAAAWWWRRR!!!" roared Isabel "Evil shall perish by my blade!"

Swampert never really had a chance to understand what was going on at all really. One minute minding one's own business and then yeah ... some things are best left unsaid. At least Isabel's winning blow was swift. Who wants to know what Mathias did with the poor beast afterwards. For Swampert it's probably just best to think it was all just some sort of horrible dream.

Jeane > Mitsuru

Mitsuru came all prepared for this match. She had been well informed of Jeane's many scandalous and skimpy clothing. Infact she wasn't expecting Jeane to be wearing much at all really.

When Jeane showed up wearing her elegant Tactics wear however Mitsuru was so taken aback by this unexpected event that before she had time to recover Jeane's powerful Thunder Rune had shocked her unconsious. What else could you expect from the Mistress of Magic and Mystery really. Never take Jeane for granted folks.

Shady > Isadora

On one side, we have Isadora, the proud paladin clad from chest to toe in steel.

On the other side, we have Shady, the quantum kitty cat who could alternately breath fire or ice.

Now, remember that boss fight against Trask where Virginia's crew used a little knowledge of physics to make its metallic shell brittle by applying extreme heat and cold?

Two quick attacks later, and Isadora's armor and shield had shattered like so much glass around her. As she succombed to the pain of her body taking the full brunt of Shady's Baking Breath, she silently thanked the stars for having the presence of mind to buy a fire-proof tunic. At least she managed to keep some small measure of dignity in this battle.

Lenus > Popoi

I hope you remembered to bring your umbrellas, courage and wrapped up for this match folks. Popoi sure didn't. He was a little overconfident coming into this match, believing he had nothing to fear with fire spells to exploit Lenus's weakness. Too bad that he never did his homework right or he'd have learned that her magic defence is top calibre despite weakness being an Wingly and all, not only that she sports the speed and devastating magic offence of an ancient race as well.

Once the match started Popoi's futile attempts of fire slinging only served to irritate, like an annoying gnat that needs to be swatted hard. By the time Lenus was finished with him he was wet, cold and shivering not to mention severely unnerved as she punished him with brutal ice and dark spells.

Mazus > Yulie

Yulie appeared from out of nowhere, clad in her blue dress and short skirt. She stood on a platform on her side of the arena, raised specifically so she could pose in front of the moon (she had asked to schedule the match at night for this purpose). Pausing for a moment to allow  the night wind to dramatically blow her skirt and hair around her, she then performed a complicated gesture to strike terror into the heart of her enemy and screamed a familiar battle cry from the top of her voice.

"I am Sailor Filgaia! In the name of St. Calucion, I will-" *BOOM*

Mazus sighed as he lowered one smoking hand. "That's the problem with those television things in this world. It makes the impressionable youths so stupid. Shoot first, speeches later."
