No. of Pokémon: 2 vs. 2
Who sends first: VP

I will begin with:


Species: Pidgey [Venom]
Gender: Male

[Uraziel]

I must be mad to do so, but anyway.

Gladly accepting your challenge. The setup is just too tempting.
Hello, by the way.


[Species] Castform
[Gender] Male
[Ability] Forecast
[Specific Notes] None

[Ayeun]

Reffing. Uraziel, Post your attacks.

[Uraziel]

Thanks a lot for taking the time.

So, Castform, for now, I don't suppose a Pidgey is particularly weather-resistant. Nor does it look very dangerous, but safety comes first. Thus, start out with a Thunderwave. After that, Hail. Then enjoy the fun part: Ice Beam.
No, wait. If the little bird is daring and annoying enough to change the weather on its own after your second move, go for a Thunderbolt instead of the last Ice Beam. We can always make up for that kind of thing later on.

Thunder Wave ~ Hail ~ Ice Beam/Thunderbolt


(By the way, how many ifs are allowed when issuing an order, and what conditions can I set? Could I, just hypothetically speaking, tell my Castform to relax any round that Pidgey is ordered to use protect?)

[Ayeun]

You guys can use as many 'If's as you can fit in. But remember, the more you 'if', the more your opponent will count them.

In a previous battle vs Chaos Redefined, I used 3, and he still countered me. Confused the hell out of the ref, but you can use as many as you like.

Oh, and we call them 'Subs', or short for Substitutions.

[Venomous Pidgey]

Well then.. Use Quick Attack to evade the Thunder Wave, before following up with a Double Team!
Then, if Ice Beam misses, use Heat Wave! If not, then use Agility!

Quick Attack ~ Double Team ~ Heat Wave // Agility

[Ayeun]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quick attack ~ Double team ~ Agility --- Thunderwave~ Hail ~ Icebeam

The battle starts with our two new little monsters and their Pokemon darting out between the balloon fortress. Venom darts first at the little Castform first, using his speed to land the first blow. Tracking the bird back to his starting placement, Castform first off a wave of electrical energy, slowing the bird down.

(Venom: - 5 en, + Paralyzed) --- (Castform: - 5 hp, - 5 en)


Castform now turns his attention to the weather, calling forth the cold winds of the north. At once, the snow and hail starts to fall from the sky, and Castform turns in to his snow form. On the other side of the field, Venom splits in to 4 clones of himself, only to have them ripped to shreds by the snow.

(Venom: - 5 en, +4 Clones, - 4 Clones) --- (Castform: - 10 en, + Hail, + Forecast (ice))


Chuckling to him self, Castform fires off a beam of Ice at Venom, who manages to get out of the way with Agility.

(Venom: - 10 en, + 2 Speed) --- (Castform: - 5 en)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The snow on the battlefield damages Venom. Unless interupted, the Hail will last till the end of next round.

(Venom: - 10 hp (2 turns @ 5 hp per turn))


End of round 1

Team Venomous to attack first. Any questions guys, send me a message and I will answer them as best as I can.

[Venomous Pidgey]

I said to use Quick Attack to dodge Thunder Wave. :/

Anyway. Use Air Slash to catch it off guard, before using Sunny Day, then another Air Slash!

Air Slash ~ Sunny Day ~ Air Slash

[Uraziel]

Well, that's what I call a good start. Weather is good, the bird is as immobilized as we want it, so now's the time to take it down.

Blizzard ~ Weather Ball ~ Hail

[Ayeun]

In response to your comment, Yes you wanted to avoid the attack with Quick attack. However, as Quick attack is an attack, its priority is to do the damage. Moves that are used to avoid attacks are normally non-attacks moves, like Agility or Amnesia.

Match will be posted in a separate post.

Air Slash ~ Sunny day ~ Air Slash --- Blizzard ~ Weather Ball~ Hail

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frosty the Snowform decides its not cold enough, as he summons up the torrential Blizzard to strike the bird. Venom responds with blast of razor winds.

(Venom: - 20 hp, - 5 en) --- (Castform: - 10 hp, - 10 en)


Castform calls on the weather, creating a ball of ice energy from the hail, striking Venom in the wings. Deciding that he doesn't like the cold weather, Venom turns his attention to the weather, calling the sun out to melt some of the ice. Castform changes to his Sunshine form.

(Venom: - 10 hp, - 10 en, + Sunshine, - Hail) --- (Castform: - 5 en, + Forecast (Sun))


Castform decides he perfers the cold after all, and changes the weather back. Meanwhile, Venom cuts through the changing weather and strikes again.

(Venom: - 5 en) --- (Castform: - 10hp, - 10 en, +Hail, - Sunshine, + Forecast (Ice))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The snow on the battlefield damages Venom. Unless interupted, the Hail will last till turn one of round 4.

[Uraziel]

Still looks very good, despite attacking three times while paralyzed. Well, it happens, we can always hope for the next round.
Try dealing as much damage as you can. No, wait. Since it might be rather tiring.
As soon as one Blizzard has actually hit and inflicted damage, no more Blizzard, continue with Weather Ball instead.
Should that little bird change the Weather, use Hail the next turn. So:

Blizzard~Blizzard/Weather Ball/Hail~Blizzard/Weather Ball/Hail

[Ayeun]

Something you both may not know - We have a move called 'Relax' that allows you to get some Energy back, at the cost of not being able to take any action for one move.

[Venomous Pidgey]

I hate to say it, but we will have an inevitable defeat.

Heat Wave three times!

Heat Wave ~ Heat Wave ~ Heat Wave

Frosty the Snowform resumes his barage of freezing winds and snow, but Venom responds with a wave of fire and heat.

Castform fires off another blast of Ice, and Venom fires another wave of heat.

Team Venom to attack first. A 40 point Health Damage Cap has been implemented to prevent overkill. Any questions guys, send me a message and I will answer them as best as I can.

[Ayeun]

Venom has 1 more week to post, or I am calling this a DQ in favor of Uraziel.

[Ayeun]

I am calling this. IF Venom comes back at all, she can claim the points and experience.

As the first set of Pokemon were almost at a definitive end, I call this a 1v1 win for Uraziel.

Uraziel receives 2 points.
Venom receives 1 point (should she come back)
Ayeun receives 2 points.

If DL, Grey or Ghosts have a problem with that, they can comment below.
