‡ Round 1 ‡
Good day, ladies and gents, and welcome to the most random battle ASB has ever seen! Today, two steely competitors will be facing off. The catch? Their Pokemon will be forced to use that one Pokemon move that's perhaps more random than Charles Legend himself... Metronome! The battlers release, with Rossy calling upon a one-eyed ghost while DL summons a jewel-faced ghoul. Hooray for selecting Pokemon with many immunities!
Bulbapedia's complete list of moves has been pulled up... the RNG is set between 1 and 559... and with that, let's begin!
The battle begins as Greebly, the speedier of the two Pokemon, waggles his fingers in the air. Suddenly, he begins eyeing Samayouru with a Spiteful glint in his eyes, which causes Samayouru to feel oddly fatigued all of a sudden. Undaunted, Samayouru also joins in the finger-wagging festivities. His body becomes charged with an Earthly Power that he releases in a series of concussive waves. The strength of the strike blasts Greebly off of his feet and onto his little purple tush.
Samayouru: <-7 EP; -8 EP Spite>
Greebly: <-9 HP; -6 EP>
Greebly hauls his ass up off the ground and performs another Metronome. Tch tch tch. Suddenly, a strange, beak-like protuberance bulges out of his face and begins spinning in a rapid drilling motion. Deciding to go with it, Greebly charges at Sammy and starts pecking at him like a zombie bird. Samayouru copes with this situation... by... passing wind? For serious, Sammy? However, as the ghost fart wafts toward Greebly, the little spook begins to fall ill. I feel for you, little guy.
Samayouru: <-8 HP; -4 EP>
Greebly: <-8 EP; Psn>
Holding his stomach with one hand, Greebly begins waving about the other in the air. He releases a wee little ball of flame that bursts against Samayouru, Incinerating the Ghost... very lightly. (Oslo proposes Incinerate should be renamed to something less severe, like Kitchen Burn, given the attack's low power.) Sammy responds with the last Metronome of the round, which results in him releasing an Astonishing burst of energy. Hey, look! An attack that Sammy gets STAB from! Cool beans.
Samayouru: <-3 HP; -1 EP>
Greebly: <-5 HP; -3 EP>
Greebly's stomach churns from the fart <-3 HP>.
‡ Post-Round ‡
Notes:
> At 0 EP, Pokemon will begin to lose 1 HP for every 2 EP they consume... which at this rate will almost certainly happen, especially with Pressure
> Samayouru: Spite, Poison Gas, Astonish
> Greebly: Earth Power, Drill Peck, Incinerate
> *fingers crossed the RNG actually does call up Explosion*
> Number of times a round has included at least one attack from every generation: 1
> Number of times a Legendary move has been used: 0, but I will keep my fingers crossed
> Fun fact: there are only 7 attacks out of 559 that with a base power of 30, and two of them were used during the last action! (Actually, wait, that fact isn't very fun at all...)
> Next round coming when Oslo feels like it
