Gym Leader Selection# 3: vs Blademaster

[DarkestLight]

You called for me, you got it. No tricky stages this time, just in a graveyard.

Ima use...Eggsquirt (Togepi) n_n. Blade's stated before he chose Ditto .

Lez rock this .

[Blademaster]

OK.

So, since we both know who's using which Pokemon, who attacks first?

[Rossymore]

Well you have a ref! Decide between hastily please!

[DarkestLight]

You do, silly goose.

[Blademaster]

OK, then... I'll be dubbing my Ditto "Shelly" for this fight.

Shelly, start by covering your ears and using Transform until it works. Then set up a medium-sized (6% - 10%, I guess) Substitute. If you have any moves left, end with Safeguard.

[DarkestLight]

Alright. Toxic it first. Then Seismic Toss that Sub. End with the throwing of flames.

Toxic~Seismic Toss~Flamethrower

LetS ROOCK!

[Rossymore]

Let's get ready to RUUUUUMMMMMMBLLLLLLLLE

Round 1

Why hello there and welcome to yet another Gym Leader Qualifier. It's time for another one, this time between Gym Leader (or so he says) Darkly and Challenger Blade. This will done in a Graveyard arena and it is quite chilly here. The two meet in the middle and shake hands, seeing who can do it the hardest. Suddenly, a puff of smoke appears and the ref comes out of the smoke with a Tyrogue by his side. He steps forward.

"This will be a 1 VS 1 Gym Qualifier between Darkly the Leader and Blade the Challenger, there are no banned moves and no damage cap. The DQ is one week. Darkly will be using Togepi and Blade shall use Ditto. Begin!

The Arena
Just a simple graveyard with tombs and stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. Disturbing the graves won't do nothing...you'll just be clung onto by a skeleton.

And so we begin! Shelly begins the round quite oddly by...covering it's ears. Eh? Do Ditto even have ears? Whilst it does that, it turns into its foe, a Togepi...this will get difficult to ref. Togepi frowns at this copycat and spits a lump of sizzling purple mass. That's sooo not a move used often...

[Eggsquirt: -0% health, -8% energy]

[Shelly: -0% health, -8% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-2%), Currently Togepi*

Now a Togepi, Shelly begins to extract a small amount of health from its body and creates a small baby Togepi. It was quite small though. Moments later, Togepi grabs the sub and throws it into the air. It lands back down with a smack but stays just intact

[Eggsquirt: -0% health, -8% energy]

[Shelly: -9% health, -8% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-2%), Currently Togepi, Sub: 1%*

Shelly creates a viel of light that will protect from statuses but Togepi seems not to notice and engulfes the sub in fire. It crumbles and Togepi realises he has been tricked. Sting goes the poison.

[Eggsquirt: -0% health, -9% energy]

[Shelly: -2% health, -4% energy]

Side Notes

1) Who will win? I don't know...

2) Darkly and Eggsquirt to issue attacks

[DarkestLight]

After careful study...I'll do this route.

Mud-Slap~Tri Attack~Psychic

[Blademaster]

Shelly, use Safeguard to prevent further status afflictions from that Tri Attack, then use Psycho Shift to transfer your Toxic status to Eggsquirt. Finish the round with a Shock Wave.

[Rossymore]

Safeguard ~ Psycho Shift ~ Shock Wave

Begin for the second time! Shelly begins by covering itself in a viel of light...again. Blade facepalmed when he realised that Shelly already had a Safeguard. The two Safeguards didn't stop Togepi from slapping Shelly round the face with a hand of mud. Some splattered into it's eyes

[Eggsquirt: -0% health, -5% energy]

[Shelly: -3% health, -4% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-4%), Currently Togepi, Team Safeguarded, Acc -1*

Shelly slightly fumes and smiles because of what it was about to do next. Both Pokemon glowed a faint green and Togepi felt a stab of pain as the poison entered his system. He grimaced and fired off a beam of elements. The safeguard shimmered before Shelly could become paralysed though.

[Eggsquirt: -0% health, -12% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-2%)*

[Shelly: -8% health, -3% energy]
*Currently Togepi, Team Safeguarded, Acc -1*

Togepi frowned, feeling the poison in his body and glowed a light blue. Shelly also glowed this colour and was lifted into the air. It was then smacked back onto the ground with a lot of force. Shelly winced as it got up and fired a beam of electricity. It moved around the arena before striking Togepi. Argh, Toxic, argh.

*whistle*

Shelly doesn't have toxic anymore .
Also, do you EKO. I shoulda found this out before?

[Rossymore]

Hell yes I EKO, so you'd better watch your %!

Edited in.

[DarkestLight]

*la* ok then n_n Awesome!

[Blademaster]

My bad Shelly... OK, start the round off with a Water Pulse. Then use a Shock Wave while the walking omelet is wet. Finally, use Psychic to grab Eggy and crush him in a vice of mental energy.

Move: Water Pulse, Shock Wave, Psyvice (full-body Psychic crush)

[DarkestLight]

Safeguard~Relax~Nasty Plot.

[Rossymore]

Let's get this party started!

Wait what? We begin with the oh so original veil of a Safeguard shining as it envelops Eggsquirt. Shelly seems not to care about this and smacks Togepi with a whole lotta water in a circle form. The Safeguard shimmers before confusion takes hold. Damn.

[Eggsquirt: -6% health, -8% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-4%), Team Safeguarded*

[Shelly: -0% health, -7% energy]
*Currently Togepi, Team Safeguarded, Acc -1*

Togepi realises he's getting tired. He sits down and takes a breather. Electricity comes a knocking though. Yikes!

[Eggsquirt: -6% health, +10% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-4%), Team Safeguarded*

[Shelly: -0% health, -7% energy]
*Currently Togepi, Team Safeguarded, Acc -1*

Togepi winces as the electric shock takes hold and begins to think up of something good in order to take out that imposter. Before he comes up with a conclusion. He glows a faint blue and is risen up into the air. He's then crushed by a powerful power. Shelly grimaces, trying to keep it going. It stops when it nearly blacks out. Togepi fall, hurt hugely. He gets an epiphiny...kill the faking Pokemon. TOXIC!!!!

3) Darkly and Eggsquirt to issue attacks

[DarkestLight]

O.o!!!

Before Blade rips you a new one Rossy, let's talk about Psyvice?

Umm..that's a little high on the energy scale. No, actually that's very high on the energy scale. Basically he's just using Psychic like a Sith uses the force to choke grab. It should be high, but not THAT high.

Also, no damage caps in Gym Matches >>

[Rossymore]

How was I meant to know how to ref it? I could lower the energy and health if you want.

God I hate moves like that... ¬_¬

[DarkestLight]

Whenever Blade uses an attack and calls it a different name, it's basically the same type of attack (in this case Psychic) just used differently. He explained it in his post a bit, but yeah.

Yeah the energy was too much for that, whatever you normally do for Psychic will be fine for Psyvice.

[Rossymore]

Bump!

[DarkestLight]

I was waiting for ya to fix it. Now then, im groggy and I'm sure I'm overlooking something...

Psycho Shift~Flamethrower x 2

However, if he uses Safeguard, then just relax your first action .

[Blademaster]

Wait for his Psycho Shift, then Psycho Shift right back. It's better than him getting energy back. Then put a damper on his pyrokinetic plan with a Rain Dance followed by Water Pulse.

[Rossymore]

Psycho Shift ~ Rain Dance ~ Water Pulse

I'm not that late! We begin with Eggsquirt glowing a nice light green. The poison is lifter out of it's body and is planted onto Shelly. Shelly winces as the pain kicks in but it does the same trick as Togepi and the poison is back where it belongs. That was pointless T_T

[Eggsquirt: -0% health, -8% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-4%), Team Safeguarded, SpAtk +2*

[Shelly: -0% health, -8% energy]
*Currently Togepi, Team Safeguarded, Acc -1*

Now that the pointless action was over, Shelly begins to dance using its legs which can't be found on a Ditto and began to dance in a strange pattern. Soon after, the rain began to roll in making this place look like the forlorn place this was meant to be. Shelly fires a stream of fire (how???) that is weakened by the rain but it has got some boosted stats. So it hit...and hit hard.

[Eggsquirt: -0% health, -10% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-4%), Team Safeguarded, SpAtk +2*

[Shelly: -7% health, -8% energy]
*Currently Togepi, Team Safeguarded, Acc -1*

With the rain coming down, Shelly decides a water move would be perfect. It fires a cirrcle of water that hits into Togepi qith a bit more power than usual. Togepi gets up and breathes more fire. It's weakened again but it still hits. The Safeguard shimmers before Shelly can get burned...then dissapates. The poison strikes again.

[Eggsquirt: -19% health, -10% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-16%), Team Safeguarded, SpAtk +2*

[Shelly: -7% health, -8% energy]

Side Notes

1) How can a small egg breathe fire?

2) Rain falls on the arena causing fire to decrease in damage and water to increase. Brolly sales also increase

3) I give this match 1/2 rounds left.

4) Blade and Shelly to issue attacks

[Blademaster]

Come on, Shelly...

Use a small Psychic to fling Egg into a tombstone so a skeleton pops out at him. Then Relax, then use Water Pulse.

If he disperses your Rain Dance with Sunny Day, use Flamethrower during your last action instead.

Move: Psytoss (Psychic to push Eggspuirt into the nearest disgruntled gravestone), Relax, Flamethrower

[DarkestLight]

>> And that's where the fun comes in Blade, great battle and it looks like you're on the road to victory

But, one...lil thing..kinda been bugging me,

Rossy-

Blade's Safeguard-2 rounds.

Now I don't know if you gave him extra turns because he used it again that round whilst he already had one up, I assumed you didn't.

Blade's Safeguard=1 round K. I put a Safeguard up, but its Duration was never posted...

Blades' Safeguard=still existant? Lil confused here, only cause his Safeguard should have ended last round-while mine still continued, making my Psycho Shift actually...very effective >>.

Now, as for current attacks... well #1-Encore after he flings you and the skeleton pops out, so you aren't distracted by anything else. To hell with him resting, the fool. Then you relax x 2 That...should do it. :O

Encore~Relax x 2

[Rossymore]

Shelly has no Safeguard, you still do Eggy.

Round 5

Arena
Just a simple graveyard with tombs and stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. Disturbing the graves won't do nothing...you'll just be clung onto by a skeleton.

*Currently a Togepi, Accuracy -1*
Psytoss ~ Chill ~ Water Pulse

Doopboopshooboobiedoop! We begin with Shelly using its psychic abilities (wtf?) to lightly throw Togepi into a grave. He manages to fling Togepi but its aim seems to be a bit off so he misses and Togepi lands in a flump next to the grave. Not hurt very much. Togepi seemed to have enjoyed the ride and applauds Shelly. Shelly siles and bows to her...*facepalm*.

[Eggsquirt: -2% health, -6% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-8%), Team Safeguarded, SpAtk +2*

[Shelly: -0% health, -4% energy]
*Currently Togepi, Acc -1*

Shelly repeats the last move and flings Shelly onto another grave and it lands it! 500 points! Then suddenly, the floor beneath Togepi collapses and Togepi falls into the hole. It isn't very deep so she tries to climb back up. She stands up and then falls over. She's being clung on by a skeleton. Being a baby, this is very traumatizing and she panics. She climbs up the hole in a very hurried fashion. She reaches the top and takes a large breather. She gains energy but was close to losing all of it.

[Eggsquirt: -2% health, +7% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-8%), Team Safeguarded, SpAtk +2*

[Shelly: -0% health, -4% energy]
*Currently Togepi, Acc -1*

Shelly continues on with its atack, not realising that it had just repeated the same attack. It fires a circle of water at Shelly. It hits but yet again the Safeguard shimmers before any confusion can take hold. Togepi just relaxes. Shelly collapsed onto the ground, it was so close to blacking out. The poison stang Togepi, and hard. The Safeguard goes, it has done its work

[Eggsquirt: -24% health, +10% energy]
*Badly Poisoned (-30%), SpAtk +2*

Side Notes

1) When will it end?

2) *coughs* Whoops! ^_^;

2) Darkly and Eggsquirt to issue attacks

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

This seems though. Blade can't attack unless he KO's himself, but he's wide open while relaxing. And Darkly should attack soon as the Toxic will take him down. Do I predict another Psycho Shift?

Nasty.

I'm loving it.

What? You think I don't watch your personal lives, family and battles?

Err..

[DarkestLight]

hRM..
Rossy. If I used Psycho Shift and it hit his Ditto, and he used it back but I had a Safeguard up, why am I still Toxic'd? Meesa confused.

MLG: I'm upset the damn Ditto is on 1 EP, I thought I had it. S'alright n_n. I'm trickier than I look.

[Blademaster]

Oh God, oh God, oh God...

[DarkestLight]

Ok. Long sequence here... so bear with me.
He won't Protect/Detect, cause that'll kill him.

SO..For action 1

If he Endures, Yawn in his face.
If he tries to attack/evade in any way/Flash/Relax use Swift
If he uses Encore, Protect against it.

...then Shock Wave x 2 more :O. That's always fun. I know I'm missing something...

In any event, for one of us, this'll be it n_n

[Blademaster]

Relax twice, then Yawn. You can take the damage; he CAN'T take the energy loss.

EDIT: Darkly's right... He's taken 3 EN more than he should have and has 1 more HP than he should.

And I have 2 more EN than I should... That's been true since before I was reduced to 1EN last round.

That means by all accounts, I've already lost....

[DarkestLight]

>> I have a funny feeling, that's gonna backfire on you Blade...

Man, glad I'm counting...I have 21 energy btw >> Not losing an iota of Ep extra, ya hear me!!

[Greyfox]

According to round 3's stats, Shelly had 65% energy and lost 26% total that round (7 + 7 = 14 + 12 = 26); 65 - 26 = 39%, not 41. So by all accounts, Shelly should've EKOed during the last round.

However, no one called Rossy out until just now, so I don't know how Darkly's gonna respond. He could lean towards your side, Blade.

[Blademaster]

However, no one called Rossy out until just now,

Now as in when you mentioned it or now as in three hours ago when I mentioned it? I editted my last post.

I wanna win, but I'm not gonna try and sneak my way around some screwed-up numbers.

[Greyfox]

ME ME ME I NOTICED IT FIRST!

(Is anyone paying attention to me yet?)

[DarkestLight]

This battle is paused until Rossy gets back from Vacay >>.

Rossy: You slipped on the numbers since Round 2. Now that I'm really being focused, both Blade's and Mine energies are off and have been since that round. Toxic is also at the incorrect level, following your parameters.

*sighs* But, like Blade, I'm not gonna dick around with this. I want you to file through from Round 2 on-and recalc the EP and HP of every round after, figure out the math and the damage from Toxic (cause that's even more crucial...).

If Blade was supposed to be dead EKO wise-then he gets 1 EP and we continue this battle as planned. If Blade was not at EKO state, then put the correct number and we continue as planned. That way, Blade still gets a chance to continue his plan, and I mine.

Does that work for you, monseiur Blade?

[Blademaster]

Yeah... Thanks, Darkly.

[Rossymore]

You're making me do maths problems at 21:20pm? What is wrong with you people?

Anyway, my parameters for Toxic go 2, 4, 8, 16, 30. Because I like being cruel!

I know my energy is right because I used that thing on the move list (LIFESAVER). I was finding the CoB one to be a bit...refined and precise and it couldn't be off by 0.00004%. I realise where I went wrong with the Toxic. Psycho Shift transfers not inflicts statuses. Inflictions are what a Safeguard stops.

At the start off the last round, Eggy should have had 53% due to it losing 8% not 4%. It then should have lost 16% at the end of Round 5 instead of 8. So Eggy is on 29%. Everything else is fine.

At the end of the round, if Eggy doesn't heal past 30%...it_will_lose! Though Shelly doesa have 1% EN.

Hrm...

I don't think that my energy is off but if you think that it is such and such number then I shall change it to said number.

We all good? I'll do the round when I get back to proper internet tomorrow...hooray!

I'll edit...

EDIT: After doing a months worth of calculations in ten minutes...I have concluded that Eggy is on 25% HP. Everything else remains the same.

I have a feeling that round 6 is the last.
If you wish to post up new attacks for the new percentage then please do so. Sorry about the confusion! ^_^;

[DarkestLight]

Well now. After this revelation, I call for new attacks to be issued, since I'm in hella worse spot than before. That ok with you Blade ?

[Blademaster]

Considering you was nice enough to let me stay in with -1 EN for half a round, I think that it's only fair that you get to re-order your attacks as well.

You may fire at will, Will.
