Return to Combat Disco - BTPoke vs. Mikachu - Ref: Oslo

[BTPoke]

Veronica, relax for this turn. Let the Infestation hit you.

Now, use that newfound energy to Volt Switch out of there! Bring Felix in to take that sludge bomb.

Felix, use Endeavor!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Doesn't Infestation prevent you from Switching?

[BTPoke]

Volt Switch, U-Turn, etc. bypasses that

Or at least it does in the main series games, so if that doesn't transfer to here then welp...

ROUND ELEVEN

Punk:
Cherry Bomb - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

As Joan Jett and the Blackhearts starts playing over the speakers, Mikachu returns poor Nefernefernefer to her ball. Suddenly, the Finnish fighter sends his third and final Pogey to the field. Hey, it's a Whirlipede! How about that. Both Pokemon experience different stat boosts thanks to the music's effect. As Veronica bides her time to recoup lost energy, the newbie summons a legion of insects to crawl up through gaps in the floorboards. Oh no! Combat Disco is Infested! The teensy critters begin crawling all over Veronica. Gross.

+4 ATT +4 DEF -6 HP +6 EP INF	+4 SP.A +4 SP.D -2 EP

Time for Veronica to tap out! The indomitable Jolteon blasts Manashi with an electrified jolt before returning to her Pokeball. With a flash of light, Lord Félix rejoins the fray. Zut alors! Manashi cuts loose with an explosive Sludge Bomb, which loses some momentum as it passes through the Light Screen. The attack connects, spraying purple goo all over Lord Félix's feathers. He swiftly falls ill. He looks like he could use a sick day.

Suddenly, a dazzling light envelops Lord Félix. Is it just me or does he suddenly seem a little... Gutsier?

OUT INF NO MORE -4 ATT -4 DEF -5 EP	IN +4 ATT +4 DEF -9 HP PSN GUTS	-4 HP -7 EP

Poisoned or not, Lord Félix unleashes a series of melee attacks on his opponent. Jeebuz. For a creature without any hands, he sure packs quite a punch. Manashi ends the round with a Bug-type rolling attack, but it does extremely piddly damage. You're going to have to step it up if you want to turn things around, little dude.

And with that, the Light Screen goes kaput.

-1 HP -8 EP L.SN NO MORE	-29 HP -5 EP

Lord Félix takes mild Poison damage [-2 HP].

Fittingly enough I have also fallen ill as of 2 days ago

Alright, Felix, with Guts and that stat boost, let's go full steam ahead!

Use Aerial Ace, followed up by a Brave Bird, and finally -only if both attacks do damage to the enemy- use roost. If one or both of the attacks fail to do damage, use Double Edge instead.

ROUND TWELVE

Punk:
Cherry Bomb - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Things seem to be looking quite good for Lord Félix. He swoops in close to Manashi, raking his talons across the Bug's thick carapace and dealing excellent damage. However, while Lord Félix seems to be embracing the stat boosts he's received, Manashi seems to be resisting them. He rolls into a ball, bounds into the air and collides with Lord Félix, but the attack does naught but the piddliest of piddly damage.

-1 HP -4 EP	-21 HP -1 EP

Lord Félix dishes out an even more powerful strike. Energy surrounds his body as he recklessly tackles Manashi, who takes substantial damage but somehow maintains his rolling position. A green glow surrounds the Whirlipede as his ability activates. He slams into Lord Félix once more, dishing out twice as much damage as last time. However, in this case, twice as much still does not equal a whole lot.

-2 HP -10 HP RECOIL -10 EP	-30 HP -4 EP SWARM

Lord Félix decides to take a quick breather. He Roosts beside an empty beer bottle and swiftly regains some health. Manashi comes in to dish out yet another Rollout, and even though it does a fair bit more damage this time, Lord Félix still ain't too bothered. He yawns. Life in the Safari Zone was way more exciting than this.

-11 HP +15 HP -13 EP	-10 EP

Lord Félix takes some more Poison damage [-3 HP].

Notes:

• Damage done to Manashi was capped at 40 HP
• I realize the Rollout damage looks very weird, beginning at 1 and then increasing to 2 and then jumping to 11, but that's because of math:

Rollout 1: 3 (base power) x 1.5 (super effective) - 7 (result of the +4 DEF) = 1 HP damage
Rollout 2: 6 (base power) x 1.5 (super effective) - 7 (result of the +4 DEF) = 2 HP damage
Rollout 3: 12 (base power) x 1.5 (super effective) - 7 (result of the +4 DEF) = 11 HP damage

• TEAM MIKACHU YUKITATSU to command next

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Continue the Rollout.

[BTPoke]

Intercept the rollout, head on, with a Brave Bird.


... If, for some reason, that attack misses and you're not DEAD, Brave bird once more.

ROUND THIRTEEN

Punk:
Cherry Bomb - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Time for lucky number Round Thirteen! Manashi's Rollout has reached a breakneck pace, leaving huge gouges in Combat Disco's wooden floor. Rather than shying away from his opponent's attack, Lord Félix decides to face it head on. Light surrounds his body as he takes flight and swoops toward Manashi. The Rollout and Brave Bird collide, kicking up a swell of dust. When everything settles, it is revealed that both bird and bug have been beaten.

And that's the battle!

That's all she wrote! Good work, you two. BTPoke and I take home six points apiece while Mikachu gets three.

Until next time, whenever that might be...

*disappears in a puff of dust*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

OK, at least we got one of opponent's Pokemon down! You fought well, Mesmeritse, Nefernefernefer and Manashi! Thanks to Oslo for reffing, and thanks to BTPoke! This was my first complete battle for a long time.

[BTPoke]

T'was a pleasure battling you, sir!

Thank you, Oslo, for reffing (and being an awesome one), and many thanks to mikachu for being MY first battle in a long time.
