Darkfire Vs. Wolfsong: Ref - Chris Watarimono

[Skye]

Just like we agreed over IM:

2 V 2, both out at once
I send first, you attack first
1 Week DQ
You choose stadium
Banned moves: Substitute, rest.

I choose Jesse my male minun and Maha my female Miltank.

[Wolfsong]

As agreed:
The arena will be:
Arena: The roof of the Daily Planet. Lois and Clark (as played by Terri Hatcher and Dean Cain (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/WolsongsWilderness/landcseason4.jpg)) are writing an article on the battle. Since this is a battle on the roof, ground moves will not work. Also if any of the pokemon's attacks hit either Lois or Clark, there will be a 2% health penalty. If a pokemon falls off of a roof, Clark will pull a disappearing act and superman (Also played by dean cain (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/WolsongsWilderness/HOL112.jpg) in the series) will rescue the pokemon that fell. However, the pokemon that fell will take a 10% health penalty.

I choose Jade my Shiny Female Azurill and Angel my female absol.

Jade, I want you to start with double team, then use toxic on Jesse and finish with secret power to Maha.

Angel, i want you to start out with future sight to Maha. Then i want you to taunt Jesse. Finally finish with a double team of your own.

Jade: Double Team ~ Toxic (Jesse) ~ Secret Power (Maha)
Angel: Future sight (Maha) ~ Taunt (Jesse) ~ Double Team

[Chris Watarimono]

Bwahahaha! My reffing powers are at your command!

Unwritten Law - Superman - Track for today's battle

-Chris R.

[Skye]

Super!

Alright. Jesse, start off with your own Double Team to avoid the coming Toxic. Next, fire a Shockwave at Jade. Finish off with a Thunder Wave all over Angel for her Taunt, but be sure it's after Maha's Shock Wave.

Maha, you begin with a Toxic on Angel, then use Thunderwave at Jade after Jesse's Shock Wave. End with a Shock Wave on Angel after she makes her clones.

Jesse -
Double Team ~ Shock Wave (Jade) ~ Thunder Wave (Angel, after Maha's SW)

Maha -
Toxic (Angel) ~ Thunder Wave (Jade, after Jesse's SW) ~ Shock Wave (Angel)

Before the battle...

In this realm of urban Arcadia called Metropolis City, filled with parades of bustling cars and automobiles that line the streets, vagrant people heading off to their own personal journeys and lands, and of course, the skyscrapes that strive to reach for the skies, yet grounded by the earthly forces which support it. The sun abovehead is warm and temprant, with a touch or two less from being balmy. The sun overhead is partially obscured by thick clouds resembling nothing more than formless matter, yet others perspectives may disagree.

What brings this day into particular interest stems from Fifth Avenue at Concord Lane. There houses the world-famous Daily Planet building, with a crowd so large that not even the building itself can fit them all! On top of the very roof, Lois Lane, Clark Kent, as well a few lucky handful witness this momentous occasion to come - a full fledged Pokemon double battle! Amy, TPMASBL vetran, also known as Wolfsong, sends out Jade the shiny female Azurill and Angel the female Absol. Her opponent and good friend Darkfire, also a formidable trainer herself, calls out Jesse the male Minun and Maha the female Miltank. With all the necessities taken care of, let's rock this show!

You've been on my mind and I don't think I have the time,
to listen to your voice,
I've heard it all before, it's been seeping through the floor,
Shut behind closed doors,
But I can see right through you now

~Lois: Hey everyone! I'm Lois Lane, reporting for the Daily Planet!
Clark: And I'm Clark Kent! My, my, Lois! We sure have a fiery battle here today!
Lois: It sure is Clark! Since Chris decided to go on a momentary vacation, we're filling in for his place.
Clark: Yup! I'm not sure where Chris is right now, but he sure is missing out on some great Pokemon battling.
Lois: Oh Clark! The battle is already underway! We don't have time for silly small talk!
Clark: Whoops...sorry...;_;

Lois: Jesse the Minun and Jade the Azurill waste no time from the outset and fashion five additional image copies each on the field. Meanwhile Angel the Absol establishes a misfortune in advance for Maha the Miltank, and it seems she's sucessful from the gleam of her eyes-
Clark: -only to get a faceful of toxic wastes, miscourtesy from the Milk cow. Looks like that's a misfortunate right now!
Lois: Oh Clark! Pick up the pace! Jesse is using his Shock Wave attack to mow down Jade and his faux images, exposing the Azurill. Angel steps up to aid her teammate by spitting out dirty remarks and insults upon the Minun, already driving the adorable electric mouse into an uproar.
Clark: Wow. Talk about a rough rat-
Lois: -Maha does the same for her own teammate, but this time generates a powerful electrical field around Jade, sucessfully locking her up in paralysis. Jade struggles, even more so due to the multiple images of Jesse on the field, but she manages a glob of hazardous waste directly into...in image. Five Minun remain.
Clark: Things sure aren't looking good for that Azurill in the heat of battle.
Lois: Angel fortifies herself by making five seperate images herself. Right on cue, Maha uses Shock Wave herself to dispatch each of the Absol images in addition of damaging her normally. Jesse with his ego bruised by the Dark Pokemon strangles Angel rather violently in a ring of electricity, paraylzing the other member of Team Wolfsong. Jade, despite the paraylsis handicap, fires a fierce bolt of gray energy that collides into Maha the Milk Cow and pushes her back a bit.

Clark: My, my, this sure is tough competition! I can't wait to see the rest of this match!
Lois: You know, you sound really trite in saying that.
Clark: >_>;~

CHANGE: A sizzling pool of toxic wastes is slightly off the middle of the field, near Jesse

Notes:
-Despite the Double Team, Minun was still affected by Absol's Taunt since the Minun (and his images) were all in clear range of Absol's actions. No false images could prevent that attack very well.
-If you're wondering why Azurill is taking slightly more damage, it's because she's a baby Pokemon compared to the rest. Don't worry. The margin isn't by much (generally by 1-2%).
-Hope you ladies don't mind my reffing style for this match. lol.

Darkfire attacks first.
Wolfsong attacks after.

[Skye]

Great then! Very nice reffing. ^.^

Maha, you start things off with Seismic Toss on Angel, then ram her with Stomp. End with Reversal, all on Angel.

Jesse, concentrate on barraging Jade with Shockwave this turn.

Both of you, if your target uses Protect, just take a break.

Jesse -
Shock Wave(Jade) ~ Shock Wave(Jade) ~ Shock Wave(Jade)
Take a break x3

Maha -
Seismic Toss (Angel) ~ Stomp (Angel) ~ Reversal (Angel)
Take a break x 3

[Wolfsong]

I liked the reffing as well ^^


Angel, Start with protect to force that cow to take a break Then use shock wave on Jesse and finish wtih double team

Jade, since Angel is startign with protect and Maha will be taking a break i want you to use Toxic on Maha. Then If Angel's shock wave is successful and Jesse has no clones, use toxic on him as well.Otherwise use facade on Maha. Finally i want you to finish with facade to Maha.

Angel: Protect ~ Shock Wave (Jesse) ~ Double Team
Jade: Toxic (Maha) ~ Toxic (jesse)/Facade (Maha) ~ Facade (Maha)

The beneficial lies are told to keep us with closed eyes,
Shading what's in store,
I guess it's up to me to find the lock and turn the key,
And open up these doors,
But I can see right through you now....

~Lois: Welcome back everyone! Here comes Round 2!
Clark: So far, it seems like Team Wolfsong is already reeling from double paralysis! But will that change in next round to be? We shall see!
Lois: Uh...Clark, we don't need tacky rhythm, rhyming, and dance, especially for a live newscast. A live serious newscast will hundreds of thousands of viewers across the globe!
Clark: Ugh...fine.

Lois: Angel, despite her ill state, starts off the round by enveloping her monster with a powerful force field. Maha, who was looking for an opening just only prior, halts her advance and takes five. Meanwhile, on the other side, Jesse with all her fustration sends a ripping surge of cackling electricity that crashes into poor Jade, taking off a solid chunk of life. The Azurill takes notice of the exposed Miltank instead and spits horrific toxins at her.

Jesse continues attacking as he sends another surge towards Jade's direction. Angel charges up her own electricity to send out at the Minun. Unfortunately, his muscles stiffen at the wrong time and Angel falls down on the ground locked up in paralysis. The Absol is forced to watch helplessly as Jade is struck with more fresh electricity - only to squeal in pain herself as Maha launches herself and drives her hooves into Angel's back. Jade takes the full brunt with authority and then starts to grow a yellowish hue. Powered by the paraylsis anomoly, the Azurill launches herself into Maha, ramming straight into her gut. The force of the attack from Jade knock Miltank back a few good paces, or off the back of her comrade Angel at least.

Jesse uses Shock Wave one more time, and it beats down Jade one more time. Maha prepares herself for a desperation counter strike from Angel. Instead, Angel crafts 5 additional body images, making 6 Absols on the rooftop. With no attacks by Angel and her state still in decent condition, the milk cow stands there looking quite embarrased - until when Jade in her paralyzed-driven state smashes into Maha once again, throwing her back towards the edge of the rooftop. Things might not look good for Team Darkfire if Miltank is shoved one more time and falls right off.

Clark: Gee, you even ran over my airtime too with that entire passage. How do you expect any content from me?
Lois: Unlike you, all my airtime is devoted to chronicling this entire match.
Clark: And I'm nothing but fluff. Hah Hah.
Lois: Maybe you are. Or maybe not. Heh. Let's get ready for Round 3...
Clark: Dork.
Lois: I heard that!~

Note:
-Forgot to add one thing, but in case you're wondering, Taunt will wear off after the next round. I originally made this into a hidden variable, but in the end, I felt it was easier to spell out by putting this tidbit in.
-Reversal failed since not only Maha is still in the green. Furthermore, since the attack was ordered to Angel, and the Absol didn't use anything against Maha, the attack was null and void. Here's the full detail from the Attack List Beta:


Reversal: If used in desperation when the user is at a disadvantage (not necessarily health-wise), the power of Reversal goes up a great deal. If successful, the brunt of whatever attack the opponent used is reversed in such a way that the original attacker suffers far worse than the Reversal-using victim. Reversal is very tiring, and it is not always possible to counterattack, since not all attacks lend themselves to being reversed. Highly variable damage. Variable accuracy.

Wolfsong attacks first.
Darkfire attacks after.

[Wolfsong]

All right, Angel i want you to use shock wave on Jesse. Then i want you to use Thunder wave on Maha. If she tries to protect, then use an ice beam on Jesse instead. Finish with an secret power to Jesse.
Jade, I want you to use refresh. Then I want you to use double team and finish with toxic to jesse if he doesn't have clones and a wide ranged blizzard in an attempt to take them out if he does.

Angel: Shock Wave (Jesse) ~ Thunder Wave (Maha)/Ice Beam (Jesse) ~ Secret Power (Jesse)
Jade: Refresh ~ Double Team ~ Toxic (Jesse)/Blizzard (Jesse)

[Skye]

Alright, Jesse. Use a Shock Wave x 2 on Jade, and finish by Dynamic Punch on Angel after Maha uses ST.

Maha, use a Double Team, Then use two Seismic Tosses on Angel.

Jesse -
Shock Wave (Jade) ~ Shock Wave (Jade) ~ Dynamic Punch (Angel, after ST)
No Subs

Maha -
Double Team ~ Seismic Toss (Angel) ~ Seismic Toss (Angel)
No Subs

[Chris 2.1]

Just a note: Reversal is potentially the most diverse attack in ASB. I've seen it been used to reverse attraction or other physical characteristics such as a sore body part. But it is mainly up to the ref, and Chris has explained what he interprets the attack. Bear in mind not all refs will share this point of view.

[Chris Watarimono]

Hey ya'll. I apologize for the delay, but I'll post the reffing asap. I have to leave home in a few.
