MLG vs. Greyfox: Citytrip! [Ref: Oslo]

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Yes, it's going to be like this:

A five day DQ (you cool with this Grey?)
Banned moves: Toxic, non-damage healing moves (including painsplit). Add anything you like Grey.
Number of pokemon: 3. We'll both send them to the ref and he'll decide which pokemon and who starts off first.
Arena:

Blackthorn City: We all know the place and so does the ref. He'll gladly put us somewhere in Blackthorn city to fight; and then teleport us to another city in Hoenn or Sinnoh (per three rounds).

Any refs?

[Greyfox]

Time to acknowledge that I am in this battle. D:

[Oslo]

*shoots hand in the air* Will ref!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Update?

[Greyfox]

The delay was my own, I'm afraid. I just PMed my team over to him though, so now it's only a matter of time.

[Oslo]

MLG will lead off with Jake, his male Hitmontop, while Greyfox will be using Judge Garbranth, his male Blaziken. :)

As a result of some fun randomizer action, Greyfox will be going first.

Our little skirmish will begin in a dank cave to the north of the city. In the darkness of the Dragon's Den, we stand on a small patch of rock in the middle of a pool of water. Other smaller rocks surround our platform while Dratinis occasionally poke their heads up from beneath the surface to spectate. They'll rescue anyone who falls in, which is a realistic possibility, because our rock is not very big...

[Greyfox]

We've got a pretty dangerous setting, Judge, but I think we can overcome it: Bulk Up to start with, then Will-o-Wisp. Finally, hit him with a Fire Punch! However, if he tries to knock you into the pool of water, avoid it with Bounce!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Fake Out, then set up a substitute. Then Mudslap.

‡ Round 1 ‡

Oooh, the Dragons Den. This ancient cavern tucked with from civilization is rife with history and serves as the home to myriad Dratini and Dragonair, two of the rarest Pokemon known. Yes, it’s a wonder this place has persevered for centuries… and today, we’re going to tear the shit out of this place with a rock ‘em sock ‘em battle! Don’t judge. You’d do the same.

On this narrow patch of rock we have MLG and his Hitmontop, Jake, squaring off against Greyfox and Judge Garbranth, his Blaziken. Guys, this is going to be one for the books!

Jake is off like a beam of light, deking left, deking right, and, before Judge can do anything about it, the wiley Hitmontop strikes the Blaziken in the beak with a swift arm thrust! The move temporarily leaves Judge dazed as he ponders what the hell just happened.

Jake: <-3 EP>
Judge: <-3 HP; Fln>

Shaking off the surprise from that last move, Judge steels himself for the battle. Okay, it’s do over time! He breathes a tiny blue flame that dances across the arena toward Jake, but the Hitmontop is too sly for that. He finds the old shed skin of a Dratini (ewww, dun touch that!) and decides that it will make a suitable Substitute! The timing couldn’t be better as Judge’s little flame strikes the Dratini skin. It’s left looking a little singed, but ultimately unharmed.

Jake: <-10 HP; -5 EP; Sub: 10 HP>
Judge: <-3 EP>

Pleased with his performance thusfar, Jake scoops up a little clod of mud in his little golfball hands and lings it at his opponent. Judge growls. No playing dirty! He sprints toward the Substitute and strikes it with a powerful fiery punching move. A good chunk of the skin’s tail burns away, but other than that, it seems intact.

‡ Round 2 ‡

As we enter the next round, Jake repeats a successful tactic by picking up a chunk of gooey mud and hurling it at his foe. Judge, however, is too sly. He leaps into the air, avoiding the mud altogether, and executes a deft landing… right on top of the Dratini skin. Just like that, it crumbles. All of a sudden, Jake is feeling awfully vulnerable.

Jake: <-4 EP; Sub: Broken>
Judge: <-3 EP>

At once, Jake fixes his gaze on the ceiling and lets out a sharp wolf-whistle. As the sound reverberates into the nooks and crags of the cavern, the stalactites overhead suddenly begin to quiver. Then, as cracks sever their connection to the ceiling, several begin to fall right on top of Judge! However, the prepared Blaziken begins to attack the barrage of stalactites with several rapid kicking motions. The rocks shatter and spray Jake with an assault of wee bullet-like rocks.

Jake: <-10 HP; -6 EP>
Judge: <-7 HP; -5 EP>

Jake dusts himself off after that last move with a growl. Okay, seriously now, who kicks rocks at people? Majorly irked, the Hitmontop dives at Judge. At the last second, Jake suddenly bounds into the air, causing Jake to eat ground. Lame.

Jake: <-7 EP>
Judge: <Whee!>

Reminder for Grey

[Greyfox]

This should be interesting, Judge. Combine your already sky-high Bounce with an Aerial Ace just in case he tries to avoid you. However, if he uses Pro or Detect, use Feint instead of Aerial Ace. Finally, use Flamethrower!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Counter the uber-hit. Then Mudslap, finish with Triple Kick.

‡ Round 3 ‡

Once Judge reaches the zenith of his Bounce, he begins arcing back down with his sights set on Jake. He combines the descent with a rapid airborne spin to up his momentum and collides with the Hitmontop, who, with a grunt, braces himself against the move. Suddenly, he responds with a powerful spinning punch that launches Judge into the water. The Dratinis scoop him out and place him on dry land in a matter of seconds, but he’s left aching. Jake crosses his arm and smirks. Hah!

Jake: <-15 HP; -5 EP>
Judge: <-22 HP; -8 EP>

Shaking off that unpleasant plunge, Judge marches over toward Jake and begins to breathe an assault of red-gold flames all over the pint-sized fighter. Jake puts a rapid end to this assault as he scoops a little mud off the cave floor once again and hurls it at the Blaziken. Ooh, face shot! Yuck.

Jake: <-7 HP; -4 EP>
Judge: <-7 HP; -7 EP; -1 Acc>

While Judge scrapes the gunk off his beautiful beak, Jake takes the opportunity to score some free damage. He throws himself onto his head and begins spinning in a bluish-brown blur. He careens toward Judge who rids himself of the mud just in time to see the deadly top slam its mighty foot against the big fire chicken not once, not twice, but three times! That… yeah, that looks kind of painful.

Jake: <-5 EP>
Judge: <-5 HP>

And with that, the teleportation kicks in... and we're off! We soon put the Dragons Den behind us and find ourselves in a crowded marketplace. People bustle about between the canvassed stalls as they find fun dolls and yummy vitamins to give to their Pokemon. There isn't a lot of room to maneuver here... not without causing some serious damage to the bazaar, anyway, which is pretty much inevitable. Don't worry about the pedestrians; they'll scatter when they realize what's going on.

Folks, the Slateport Marketplace is open for business!

‡ Round 4 ‡

As the passing shoppers turn their heads and realize there’s a fire chicken and a friggin’ judo spinning top doing battle right in the middle of the marketplace, they scatter with shrieks and shouts. Yeah, calmness, this will only take a few rounds. Judge decides that the space isn’t already cramped enough and spins on the spot, bringing three clones into existence. Jake replies by clapping his hands, causing an assault of boulders to come tumbling down from the heavens! Several manage to squish some of the canvassed stalls (uhh, oops?) while two manage to take out two of the clones. Uh-oh…

Jake: <-6 EP>
Judge: <-4 EP; 1 clone>

Before Jake can unleash another onslaught of boulders, Judge leaps forth with another deft spinning maneuver, diving over a crate of Igglybuff dolls and past a display of Carbos. The attack strikes Jake and aggravates the Hitmontop, who slams his little golfball hands together once more to command more rocks to fall from the sky. This time, the boulders take out the clone and strike the real Judge… not to mention the rest of the remaining stalls.

We’re gonna get in so much shiiit…

Jake: <-7 HP; -6 EP>
Judge: <-8 HP; -3 EP>

Okay, nothing new here, right? Judge dive-tackles Jake with a second Aerial Ace, but the Hitmontop holds strong as he commands more boulders to come raining down from the sky. Wow, the weather in Slateport is just bonkers…

‡ Round 5 ‡

With the marketplace reduced to, uh, maybe let’s not talk about that, our fighters prepare new moves. Judge breathes a curling spurt of flames that wraps itself around Jake. As the tornado circles the Hitmontop, he counters by bringing three clones into existence. Hrm, maybe not the best strategy on Jake’s part. There’s a pretty simple way of telling which Hitmontop is a clone: they’re the ones without the gigantic tornado of fire circling them…

Jake: <-4 HP; -4 EP; 3 clones>
Judge: <-4 EP>

Feeling kind of enamoured by the little flame twister thingy he created, Judge snaps out of his reverie just long enough to slam his foot into the ground. The earth shudders and shakes about, causing the clones to wink out of existence. Moreover, the sudden quake tosses Jake out of the fiery tornado, which causes him to incur a little extra damage. Grr, how frustrating! In reply, Jake leaps upon Judge and begins swinging his fists blindly against the Blaziken. Calm your business, ragey!

Jake: <-11 HP; -8 EP; 0 clones>
Judge: <-11 HP; -7 EP>

Tossing the pipsqueak off of himself, Judge growls. Oh, it’s on! He fires off a rush of steam that scalds poor Jake, though the move goes wide and misses. Drat! In response, the Jake leaps back upon his foe and resumes pummeling.

‡ Round 6 ‡

Jake manages to spot a glob of mud just lying there on the ground and scoops it up into his awkward little hand. He tries to fling it at his foe, but Judge is too quick: the Blaziken Bounces out of harm’s way. Drat! Foiled again by Bouncing!

Jake: <-4 EP>
Judge: <Whee!>

Jake charges up a mighty Vacuum Wave, but thinks twice about firing it right away. Instead, he waits for the Blaziken to reach the peak of his Bounce and start whooshing down toward earth. The fire turkey brings his foot slamming down against Jake’s head and, all of a sudden, the earth starts rumbling. Pinned against the violently shaking ground, Jake succeeds in unleashing that burst of energy which knocks Judge right off him.

Jake: <-18 HP; -5 EP>
Judge: <-6 HP; -13 EP>

Make that two! The two Pokemon try to scramble to their feet, but Jake gets there first. He fires off a second Vacuum Wave at Judge. This time, the Blaziken stays down.

Jake: <-5 EP>
Judge: <-6 HP>

With a whoosh, we're off! We leave the Slateport Marketplace behind and suddenly appear at a new location... Fortree! We stand upon one of the city's many treehouses, each connected by a rickety-looking ropebridge. Hrm, I hope nobody falls... that could be painful...

‡ Round 7 ‡

Grey calmly calls his fallen Blaziken back to its Pokeball before reaching for another one from his belt. He gives it a toss and out comes a green insect-ish looking thing that rears its head and hisses upon entering the fray. The Flygon begins by snapping its fingers, causing great billowing clouds of sand to come tearing through the arena. Squinting through the sand, Jake leaps upon Felsendrache and begins flailing his every limb against the dragonfly, his assault fuelled by his flagging health.

Jake: <-2 EP; -4 HP from fatigue>
Judge: <-17 HP; -4 EP>

As the storms worsens, Jake tries to shield out the little motes with his hand, but it’s to no avail. He doesn’t even see the razor-sharp blade of air that comes soaring his way. It strikes the little guy in the gut and he goes tumbling off the bridge to the ground below, defeated.

With Jake now out of the match, MLG recalls the spinning top back to its ball and flings a new one. A Porygon-Z comes out into the match with a demented squeak. Felsendrache gets things off to a mind-boggling start as he performs a spin on the spot, causing three clones to pop into existence. Awesome! Suddenly, a swell of sand tumbles forth and obliterates each and every one of the Flygon’s doppelganers. Not so awesome! Carly, meanwhile, snickers and begins planning something sinister…. ooh, mysterious.

Carly: <-4 EP; +2 SpA>
Felsendrache: <-4 EP; 0 clones>

Felsendrache tries to tear up his foe with a little Dragon Claw action, but sees one frigid beam whizzing his way and panics. The Flygon spews out a burst of hot, skin-melting air that strikes the Ice Beam. The two moves collide with an explosion, damaging both Carly and Felsendrache evenly.

Carly: <-8 HP; -7 EP>
Felsendrache: <-8 HP; -8 EP>

Take two. Carly and Felsendrache again trade one Ice Beam for one Heat Wave, resulting in a second explosion that shakes the bridges we’re standing upon. Caaaareful now…

Carly: <-8 HP; -7 EP>
Felsendrache: <-8 HP; -8 EP>

Great clouds of sand gust through the arena, striking Carly. <-3 HP>

‡ Round 9 ‡

Not exactly thrilled with the way things are going, Felsendrache flutters over toward Carly and smashes in the Porygon-Z’s face with one wicked thrust of his open palm. Carly stumbles backward, momentarily dazed, before commanding a surge of ice and snow to descend upon Fortree. The blast chills Felsendrache from head to foot. Poor guy.

Carly: <-9 HP; -10 EP>
Felsendrache: <-22 HP; -4 EP>

As the Blizzard comes to an end, Felsendrache shakes off the snow and tears into Carly, claws infused with draconic energy. Carly then absorbs this energy into herself and, humming and chirping digitally, she downloads some software that will provide her with an immunity to Dragon-type attacks. Give it a minute aaaand… there, all done! STEEL.EXE has been successfully downloaded and installed into Carly's system! Huzzah!

Carly: <-7 HP; -4 EP>
Felsendrache: <-6 EP>

Not entirely sure how that whole technological foofah went down, Felsendrache doesn’t trouble himself with the details and instead fires off a beam of green energy. The move strikes Carly who doesn’t seem altogether too fazed by it. Instead, she unleashes a triple beam of fire, ice and electricity that collides with Felsendrache and knocks the Flygon back a bit.

Carly: <-3 HP; -8 EP>
Felsendrache: <-12 HP; -4 EP>

Great clouds of sand gust through the arena, though nobody seems particularly bothered. With that, the storm dies away to silence.

Suddenly, we're off! We leave the bridges and treehouses of Fortree behind and soon find ourselves in an entirely new location. We stand inside a large auditorium of sorts beneath hot lights. Perched upon a raised stage, we look out to see an entire audience of confused spectators watching us from their seats. Ooh, how fun! Guys, welcome to the Hearthome City Super Contest Hall!

‡ Round 10 ‡

As an excited hush descends over the audience, the next round of our little battle thinger gets underway. Carly shoots off an Ice Beam that sparkles under the stage lights, but that clever Flygon seems ready. He shoots off a spurt of scalding air that collides with the beam, causing another small explosion. The audience oohs and aahs appropriately and, as the dust settles, it becomes clear that both fighters have been harmed evenly.

Carly: <-8 HP; -7 EP>
Felsendrache: <-8 HP; -8 EP>

Ooh, that was fun. Carly fires off another triple beam of ice, fire and electricity that sizzles toward Felsendrache, who seems weirdly relieved despite the pain as he avoids getting overcome by a pesky status. Phew! Felsendrache celebrates with an Earthquake that shakes up the Contest Hall nicely. A couple of lighting fixtures and a few sandbags (who put those there?) tumble down from the ceiling and, though they miss our combatants, Carly is nonetheless tossed to the ground harshly.

Carly: <-12 HP; -8 EP>
Felsendrache: <-12 HP; -7 EP>

As Carly pulls herself up with a determined chirp, the Porygon-Z opts for another Ice Beam, which Felsendrache effectively counters with his Heat Wave. The consequential explosion harms our fighters but has the audience on their feet with applause. A dazzling appeal!

Hrm… Felsendrache has definitely seen better days. The poor Flygon can hardly keep himself upright, but he manages to keep his gaze locked on Carly as he charges up a Fire Blast. Carly, however, is the first to move and commands an Icy Wind to come blowing through the hall. The cold saps the last remaining health from Felsendrache and, as he falls, he successfully unleashes that Fire Blast at the Steel-type.

Notes:

> Grey's next Pokemon will be Brigadier, his Metagross
> TEAM MELOVEGHOSTS to command next

[Greyfox]

14 damage seems a little low for a super-effective attack that is incredibly powerful... =/

[Oslo]

Well, the Movelist ranks Fire Blast as an Excellent move. It isn't incredibly powerful.

I calculate super-effective damage using a simple +4 modifier and I haven't had anyone speak up so far. If I were to change that to the way the games calculate super-effective damage, the Blizzard against Felsendrache earlier would have done 40 damage. (And that's capped, not including Carly's +2 SpA.) :P I dun think you'd want that.

If you'd like, from now on I can use a +6 modifier for Excellent moves that are super-effective. It's not a huge difference, but it's the largest one I would realistically make. I've been contemplating making the switch (+3 for Light moves, +4 for Good moves, +6 for Excellent moves, +8 for Incredible moves) for any new battles I ref, but I can apply it for the remainder of this fight.

The reason why I don't calculate damage geometrically is because then damage gets out of control, the 40 from a simple Blizzard being a good example.

‡ Round 12 ‡

As Felsendrache returns to his Pokeball after a good fight, Grey is left to contemplate his final selection… except not really, since the choices were predetermined, but eh, whatevs! With a pop, out comes a mighty Metagross ready to kick some digital duckie behind. Right off the bat, Carly decides to fry the bajeebuz out of its new foe with an electrical Discharge but, at the last second, Brigadier splits into three clones. Woah! The electricity sparkles through one of the faux-Metagrosses, causing it to vanish. Bummer.

Carly: <-4 EP>
Brigadier: <-4 EP; 2 clones>

Irked, Carly takes aim at one of the remaining Metagrosses and opts for a Shadow Ball this time around. The swirling ball of darkness sails uselessly through a clone. Oh, drat! Brigadier chuckles deeply and approaches Carly. It lashes out with one of its weighty arms, clobbering Carly at the cost of some health. Ouchies!

Carly: <-14 HP; -9 EP>
Brigadier: <-7 EP; -1 Spd; 1 clone>

Hrm, let’s try this again. Eenie, meenie, minie… moe! With a dazzling flash, Carly’s Discharge crackles through the last clone. Come on! Now exposed, Brigadier decides to finish things once and for all with a mighty Electric-type move of his own. His sizzling Thunder Punch collides with Carly and brings the Porygon-Z down once and for all.

Carly: <-6 HP; -4 EP>
Brigadier: <-4 EP; 0 clones>

And... we're off! The teleportation kicks in once more and soon we find ourselves in a quaint little museum bedecked with priceless pieces of art and ancient statues. Welcome to the Lilycove Museum! We're probably not supposed to battle here, but eh, hasn't stopped us yet.

‡ Round 13 ‡

MLG recalls his fallen Porygon-Z before making his final selection of the battle. With a toss, MLG calls out a squat blue rabbit with a bubble-patterned chest. The end is almost upon us! The mighty Metagross begins charging toward Minne who, in a panic, throws herself behind a tall panel on which hangs a painting of a wee little Oddish. However, Brigadier proves to be no art enthusiast and slams one of his arms into the panel, destroying it and bringing the rubble crashing down upon Minne. Ouchies. Dazed and injured, the Azumarill pokes her head out of the remnants of the decimated panel and begins Singing. Her quiet tunes echo through the silent gallery and Brigadier begins to feel sleepy. With a crash, the megaton warrior collapses to the ground. Out like a light.

Minne: <-8 HP; -3 EP>
Brigadier: <-7 EP; -1 Spd; Asleep>

While Brigadier sleeps, Minne is free to kick a little Metagross ass with impunity. She begins hammering on her chest and shouting a battle cry. That’s one crazy Azumarill.

Minne: <-5 EP; +6 Att>
Brigadier: <Zzz>

Just then, Minne further sets the stage by shooting out a gentle spray of water that curves around her body into the form of a ring. Ooh, mysterious.

‡ Round 14 ‡

As the next round begins, Brigadier gives a stir and hops to his feet, awake. Minne tries to create some clones but, to celebrate his return to consciousness, the Metagross begins strutting around like he owns the place. Infuriated, Minne's plan becomes derailed and she starts growling under her breath, too Confused and frustrated to do anything but stand there and grimace.

Minne: <Can’t move!; Confused>
Brigadier: <-4 EP>

Exhaling, Minne closes her eyes and begins to build her concentration. Having subverted the Azumarill’s’s attempt to create a few chummy doppelangers, Brigadier springs forth as one of his mighty legs crackles with electricity. He swings the heavy chunk of charged steel toward Minne, tossing her into one of the nearby wall panels and shooting cracks right through it. Just like that, her focus is broken and, once again, the little sea bunny is immobilized.

Minne: <-9 HP; Can’t move!>
Brigadier: <-4 EP>

Suddenly, Brigadier throws a fuss by slamming his every appendage against the ground with such ceaseless repetition that the very earth beneath us begins to shake. The cracks in the wall panel increase and the entire thing collapses on her. Still, the jolt allows her to overcome her Confusion prematurely. She then bounces toward Brigadier and attacks the big steely lunk with a hard-hitting punch. Her souped-up strength causes the Brigadier to be thrown into the far wall. Moreover, his brain is left a little scrambled from such a hard hit. Not good.

Minne: <-9 HP; -4 EP>

The Aqua Ring blesses Minne with a little health <+3 HP>.

‡ Round 15 ‡

Still a little Confused, Brigadier begins hammering itself over the head with one of its weighty legs. Uh… that’s probably not a good idea so much. Minne smirks and does a happy little jig to summon rainclouds. Of course, since we’re inside, we’re unaffected… but man, those thunderclaps sound cool!

Minne: <-3 EP>
Brigadier: <-3 HP>

All of a sudden, Brigadier begins to glow red. The Metagross then starts bludgeoning Minne with invisible Psychic cudgels. As the final psionic impact takes its toll on the Azumarill, water begins to surround her tail. She then springs toward Brigadier and slams her Aqua Tail into Brigadier’s mighty iron frame, causing him to crumple from the sheer strength of the impact. Too many of those and this match won’t last much longer.

Minne: <-9 HP; -4 EP>
Brigadier: <-17 HP; -9 EP>

Giving its head a good shake, Brigadier manages to overcome Confusion. Woohoo! His celebration consists of an electrified punch right to Minne’s gut, causing the sea bunny’s muscles to seize up unpleasantly. Still, she pulls it together for a second Aqua Tail that causes Brigadier to skid across the floor, tearing up the parquetry. Poor lunk is never gonna want to take a bath ever again after this one.

Minne: <-10 HP; -4 EP; Paralyzed>
Brigadier: <-17 HP; -4 EP>

Minne receives even more health from the rings of water orbiting her <+3 HP>.

Just then, we teleport! Gone is the smashed up museum (teehee, that was awesome) and we soon find ourselves in a new location. A roaring crowd looks on excitedly as we find ourselves at the terminus of so many Pokemon journeys. The sun shines above the open stadium, casting light on the primary arena of Sinnoh's Pokemon League. Will our match be decided here? Time to find out!

Aqua tail, Aqua tail, Superpower.

[Greyfox]

How long does confusion last? Because it seems like Brig's lasted longer than hers did...

Psych Up, ThunderPunch, ThunderPunch!

[Oslo]

Confusion lasts between two to five actions when I ref it. :)

Will hopefully have this up tonight.

‡ Round 16 ‡

Suffering from Paralysis, Minne seems to be worse off on Speed than clunky ol’ Brigadier. The big metal lunk starts by forging a metal link with the sea bunny, imposing her own boost in strength on itself. As newfound power surges through Brigadier’s iron frame, Minne lunges at him with another Aqua Tail, throwing the Metagross against the stadium wall. Is his Psych Up too late to turn the tide on this battle?

Minne: <-4 EP>
Brigadier: <-17 HP; -5 EP>

Now that it shares all of Minne’s heightened Attack, Brigadier’s ThunderPunch doesn’t just crackle with electricity—it roars! He approaches Brigadier and slams his weighty limb into her, shocking her thoroughly and launching her back against the stadium’s opposite wall. Suddenly, Paralysis kicks in and she merely lies there in a daze, unable to even pull herself to her feet.

Minne: <-22 HP; Can’t move!>
Brigadier: <-4 EP>

Without any compunction in the least, Brigadier storms toward Minne as she lies there helpless. It slams her into the Azumarill, pinning her against the wall as it turns up the juice. She lets out a cry of agony as the volts start coursing through her body. All of a sudden, with Superpowered strength, Minne wrestles herself free of Brigadier’s death grip and picks the Metagross up by the leg. With a mighty swing, she hurls him skyward. The Brigadier reaches the apex of his flight before plummeting, landing smack-dab in the middle of the arena with a sonorous thud.

This’ll be a cloooose one…

Minne: <-22 HP; -10 EP; -1 Att; -1 Def>
Brigadier: <-24 HP; -4 EP>

The Aqua Ring does to Minne what it does best <+3 HP>.

[Greyfox]

She can't protect or endure whatsoever, Brig, so we're going to hafta take her down in one shot. Use Bullet Punch + ThunderPunch -- her paralysis should make it easy for you to strike her first -- however, if she tries to put you to sleep at all, put up a small Substitute first, then continue with your combo.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

When it comes at you, Endure the hit and Fling it over yourself into the wall.

Endure + Fling.

Good match Grey, no matter who wins.

‡ Round 17 ‡

Five cities, seventeen rounds, two and a half months—and it all ends here!

Brigadier is the first to make his approach. He turns on the juice as one of his legs charges up with ample amounts of electricity. He gallops toward Minne, eager to do the little sea bunny in, and brings the weighty limbs slamming down against the Azumarill. All of a sudden, no, it can’t be… raising her arms up, Minne catches the leg and holds it overhead! What strength! Brigadier grunts, trying to bring his limb down to crush Minne, who refuses to relax her grip on the Metagross’s leg as a kajillion volts of electricity run through her body. They remain like this for a moment, two titans testing each others power.

But something has to give. Though Minne tries to Endure herself against the damage, the battle frenzy she entered into four rounds prior makes this impossible. Thus, before Minne can muster up the strength to hoist up Brigadier and Fling him away, her grip slackens and she crumples, crushed beneath the Metagross’s solid leg. She doesn’t get back up.

And with that, this match is done!

Minne: <-24 HP>
Brigadier: <-9 EP>

Epic battle, guys! This was definitely an exciting one to ref and I think it would make a superb made-for-TV movie... so long as I can be played by Matt Damon, of course. :)

Anyway, for winning, Grey receives six points. I also get six points while MLG receives three. Great work to you both.

And that's that! *poof*

[Greyfox]

That was pretty fantastic. Thanks for the battle MLG, and thanks, Oslo, for reffing. Adieu, gentlemen.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

That was tight.

Remember: HUGE POWER!

Thanks for the battle Grey, I enjoyed.

Oslo, always a pleasure.
