Banned moves: Toxic, Perish Song, Attract
I`d like to fight someone who I didn`t fight before.

ARENA


In front of the Wind Valley! I`ll leave to the ref to add something special to the arena... (like flying types are boosted, appearance of drifloons... etc.)

I`ll be using

Zeppelin - Drifloon (f) Aftermath

You attack first!

[Gigya]

I'll take the challenge.

I'll post a release and attack in a bit.

[EraGam]

Sorry, forgot to mention this but, it's a 4 vs. 4

[Gigya]

Alright.

I'll send out Mr. Sniffles, my Poochyena♂ with Quick Feet.
Open with Shadow Ball, then continue into Ice Fang and Howl.

And 4v4 works fine for me.

[EraGam]

Minimize, hypnosis, thunderbolt.

[EraGam]

Now all we need is a ref.

[DarkestLight]

===Round 1===

Hrm. Haven't been to Wind Valley in a while. As always, the windmills are going, and that creates a unique effect here. Heavier Pokemon get a speed increase, but lighter Pokemon have a bit of a maneuverability problem, too much wind making them a bit slower.

Doesn't really matter, since ol' Zeppelin here seems fine with all the sharp winds blowing through today. Below her, as an opponent, is a sniffling little Poochen-someone SHUT OFF that SARAH MALAUGHLIN song! Makes everything depressing!

Zeppelin floats down with a little difficulty, and gets smaller. Losing all that helium. Sniffles fights the wind and flings a Shadowball. The target is actually struck, as Minimizing didn't do its job too well, yer a purple dot in the sky...

Ze: -2E/-16H +Eva ~~ Mr. S: -8E

But now she was smaller, and she was ready to be crafty. She blasted down a slew of rays. These beams have that strange calming effect associated with deep sleep hypnosis! Ha! Rattata fall out on both sides of the Pooch. Sniffles lunged, but ha, he missed the Ice Fang and fell asleep dead on the spot

Ze: -2E ~~ Mr. S: -5E Slp

With her target asleep, the balloon Pokemon decides its ok to get a free hit. I mean, who sleeps in a battle, right? Apparently Poochyenas. That Thunderbolt went right through him like liver and onions, and he still didn't move.

Ze: -8E ~~ Mr. S: -10H

Era

[EraGam]

Thunder wave, telekinesis, Thunder. If he tries to protect, use stockpile, and if telekinesis doesn't work go with Rain dance. If he tries any status inflicting move, use double team.

[Gigya]

Sleep Talk x3
If Sniffles wakes up at any point, Taunt followed by Yawn in that order from the point of him waking up.
If Sniffles is awake on the round of Thunder, sub Me First.

===Round 2===

Zeppelin raises one of its wispy arms to the sky and allows it to attain a bit of a static charge. It winds down form that top receiver , to the lower arm and then discharges toward the sleeping pup. The wave strikes, and well...one would think that's a bad thing, except when the pup stands up on its own, and begins to shake itself around like its a BOSS!

This...maddens Zeppelin, who inflates a bit and floats closer. He's gonna hafta smack this foolish pup around.

Ze: -2E +2 Atk/Cfn ~~ Mr. S:-4E Par QF on!

Zeppelin was so taken aback by those gestures that he really lost sense of self and began to float around aimlessly, trying to figure out the sense of it all. This lapse of concentration allows the sleeping hound to capitalize..but it doesn't. Rather, he opts to just sniff the air.

There's a benefit to smelling the air...right?

Ze: @_2 OS'd ~~ Mr. S: -4E

Zeppelin raised both arms now. That dog wants to dance in its sleep, fine. He'll stay sleeping. A massive jolt of Thunder crackled through the air at super sonic speed, and made its way down to where the pup lied. It curved and banked and all of a sudden..Zeppelin was on the receiving end! What the heck?

HA! He's up! The pup managed to pull out a Me First. Impressive! But Zeppelin did not fall out in pain. Instead, a second Thunder rained down on the pup, striking him with enough force to make this match still an even steven encounter.

Ze: -10E/-27H ~~ Mr. S: -8E/-15H

Gig

[Gigya]

Well. Sleep Talk worked better than I had expected. Great work, Mr. Sniffles!
Also, since Mr. Sniffles used Odor Sleuth while asleep, shouldn't Zeppelin's evasion be gone? Or is it a one or the other thing?

Yawn. Then Facade to abuse the Odor Sleuth and Paralysis, and finish with a Thunder Fang.
If it tries for a Baton Pass, use Mean Look. Your newly acquired speed from the paralysis should let you get it off before the drifloon leaves.

[EraGam]

Use constrict to tie around Sniffles`s neck, try to choke him so he doesn`t give out that yawn.
Then Hypnosis and last Baton pass.
If he`s successful on using the Yawn, use Rest on the turn you`re supposed to fall asleep from the yawn.

===Round 3===

That round was a doozy for Zeppelin, and the good time keep rolling in. Instead of listening to his commands, he decides on a completely different route, and starts to puff up. No reasoning behind this.

This gesture makes the Yawn seem justified. But you know. I don't think that was entirely bad...

Ze: -2E +Def/SpD Drw~~ Mr. S: -2E

Sniffles growls as the ghostballoon affixes itself to a windmill base, so it doesn't float away, and goes to sleep! The hell is that? There's no benefitting from sleeping! He dashes forth and is able to slam into the phantom with a Facade, but the ghost doth not stir.

Ze: -25E/+40H/-10H ~~ Mr. S: -6E

Zeppelin snoozes away, and gets a nice relaxing round as Sniffles has the case of the gout, and can't move at all.

Ze: n_n ~~ Mr. S: *par*

Era

[Gigya]

Hmm? Where'd hypnosis go?
EDIT: I mean Era's hypnosis.

[DarkestLight]

He said use rest on the turn you were gonna fall asleep, so instead of hypnosis, he used Rest.

[EraGam]

Spam sleep talk until you wake up, if you're stilll confused, calm your mind with Calm Mind. Otherwise go with Silver Winds until the end and if he tries to protect, switch to stockpile.

[Gigya]

Torment til it works, Thunder Fangx2

Sleep sleep sleepy round. Lazy windmill. Paralyzed dog still. Balloon still inflating. Oh hai there Gust of wind. Blow blow blow. Dog fall over.

Ze: -2E ~~ Mr. S: *par* -4H

Sniffles barks loud, and that seems to shake off the paralysis. He quits playing nice and makes all sorts of disgusting sounds and gestures, all to torment the sleeping foe. It seems to take hold and Zeppelin can't seem to formulate a dream move into reality.

Ze: Trm ~~ Mr. S: -2E

Then he lunges up and manages to bite that thin thread like arm of Zeppelin's. Well by golly that wakes the ghost up, and he releases air all over Sniffles face. Most people would say that's a silvery fart, but balloons dun have rectums, so its just a release of Silver air.

Ze: -7E/-10H ~~ Mr. S: -5E/-14H

===End Stats===


Gig

[Gigya]

First, Thunder Fang followed quickly by Shadow Ball. Then Poison Fang to try and get up a bad poison.
If he goes to protect anything, sub Howl.

[EraGam]

Baton pass to Carter - Riolu (m) Inner Focus.
And go with Cross chop and then on the third Copycat (but wait till he uses the Poison fang first, so you get to copy that). If the poison fang doesn`t poison you, use Focus Blast instead.
If for some reason the baton pass doesn`t work, just use it on the second turn.

===Round 5===

Feeling that his time here is served, Zeppelin decides to float away into the great blue sky. But Sniffles does not want his balloon to float away1 Not without a parting gift. Putting those quick feet to work, Sniffles scampers over the berth of the field and lunges. Teeth clench into rubbery balloon latex texture and the cloudhair wearing balloon sags in pain due to the current released from said bite.

Nonetheless, Zeppelin left, and instead was released a kung fu smurf.

Ze: -6E/-9H ~~ Mr. S: -5E

Well hey now. It's Mr. Carter. Boy, with all the happiness Zeppelin gave him, he sure is focused. Sniffles doesn't like this change one bit, and he has all good right to. Even as he wells up that Shadowball, Carter dashes in and gives one heck of a Cross Chop across both knees on his left side. Sniffles stumbles, but swings his head in the right direction. The Shadowball flies true, and knocks Carter back a peg.

Ca: -8E/-9H ~~ Mr. S: -8E/-19H

That one hit hurt fart too much. Sniffles growled in angst, and gnashed his teeth. That gnash replayed itself on Carter's tail. Carter whirled around and bit down on Sniffles tail, Copying the exact move.
Ha, they both get poisoned as well.

Ca: -8E/-7H Psn ~~ Mr. S: -5E/-7H Psn

The poison acts fast, showing either no mercy (-3)

3x Force palm, if he tries protect, use feint. If he goes for a dig, use swords dance.

[Gigya]

Torment.
Follow it up with a Hidden Power, because, hey, who knows, you might get lucky and hit a weak point, and then a Thunder Fang.

===Round 6===

Carter steps back and forth, eager to continue this battle. Sniffles however, feels that this is completely one sided, and howls his dismay. The sound bothers Carter, but he still lands a strong bow to Sniffles's chest. The pup flies back and sprawls out, dizzy.

Ca: -6E Trm ~~ Mr. S: -2E/-16H

Sniffles watches as the fighter tries to replicate that motion, but finds himself unable to move. As for Sniffles, well, you guessed it. Paralysis-induced by that Force Palm, really shut everything down.

Ca: o_o ~~ Mr. S: *par*

Sniffles slinks back onto his feet, and warily approaches the still fidgeting Carter. It knows it just did the move its trying, but why won't it complete! Another lunge, and Sniffles bites down hard on the rogue smurf. The electric discharge gave the Riolu quite a static shock.

Ca: -6H ~~ Mr. S: -5E

The poison acts fast, showing either no mercy (-3)

===Round 7===

Sniffles is hurting bad. But does that stop him from tryin to pull the W? NO. He stares his foe down, who seems completely uninterested. In fact, he's just bulking himself up.

Ca: -3E +Atk/Def ~~ Mr. S: :/

And it continues, now with the stacking of swords on his face? What the hell? Didn't matter though, paralysis had Sniffles on lock! (haha, get it?...you better get it! LAUGH, DAMN YOU!)

Ca: -3E +2Atk ~~ Mr. S: *par*

All at once, a twinkle appears in Sniffles eye, and he dashes forth. Carter is taken back by the speed at which the foe finally attacks, and it put back a few yards by its own attack! Not to be outdone, Carter swings as soon as Sniffles lands, and creates what I like to call the skipping stone dog.

Sniffles crumbles to a stop, out cold.

Ca: -4E/-5H ~~ Mr. S: -6E/-15H

The poison continues for Carter (-3)

Gig release, Era attacks

[Gigya]

Whew! Good job, Commander.
Let's go, Nobi!
Shedinja woops Nincada♂ with Compound Eyes.

EDIT: Don't have a shedinja, but I get it confused with nincada a lot. I almost posted one, though.

[EraGam]

Blaze kick, rockslide, crunch. If he protects use iron defense. If he tries a status inflicting move, use protect. But if the blaze kick fails, use it on the third turn.

[Gigya]

Clever abuse of type! I shall follow suit.

Try and use Gust to blow out that fire. Then follow with Aerial Ace, and try whipping up a Sandstorm.

===Round 8===

Sniffles out, Gigya quickly releases his second battler into the fray. It skitters from intangible force to tangible fright soon enough. The little bug however, was no match for the fiery hellion of a kick that Carter had ran up and soccor style swung. It met with a small breeze of wind, but the flames were too strong to be licked away by that wind...

But not Carter. His force was so powerful behind the kick that the Gust threw his balance off. This saved Nobi from what could have been a nail in the coffin match!

Ca: -4E/-6H ~~ Nobi: -3E/-10H

Nobi, proud with his dominance so far, continues to push forward. Darting in, he slashes at the Riolu with one of his pincers, but neglects his positioning. Carter gleefuly puts his hands down, and watches as a cascade of stone fall from atop the windmill, right on the bug

Ca: -5E/-3H ~~ Nobi: -3E/-17H

Nothing like coming out to battle and having rocks fall on you. But Nobi was different. As he starts to chatter with himself, Carter tries this again. He dashes in and lunges for Nobi, biting down empirically hard on the softer bug. Nobi screams, and writhes free.

But, as the Nincada landed, the sands began to roar. Looks like the storm has only arrived. (-1)

Ca: -5E ~~ Nobi: -4E SS: 2 rounds

The poison continues for Carter (-3)

===End Stats===


Gig
68/34 - Zeppelin

[Gigya]

Why did rockslide do that much damage?
Nobi is bug/ground. Unless there's some disco magic, that's not super effective.

[BTPoke]

well, considering carter's at +5 atk, it would make sense.

[Gigya]

Even then, that's extremely high, and based on that it would cap around 17. I've yet to see a non super effective move or non static damage move do that much.

[DarkestLight]

o.O ::Flips number.:: Though Nincada was Bug only. I know its Bug Ground, I just forgot it. Fixed. La.

[Gigya]

Dig.
When you come back up, Aerial Ace

[DarkestLight]

O.o is Era on vacay?

[Gigya]

Yep. He posted in the absence tower, too, I don't think I ever saw it though.

[EraGam]

Earthquake blaze kick and rock slide.
