MLG vs. Rossymore: Sunny Beach [Subref: KOT]

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Yes!

[men of horror]

I would like to take you on (again :) ). You can have 4 battles at once. Is that right? In my 4th battles the reff wrote in the absence tower. Do I have to wait or is it possible for me to start another battle in the meantime?

[Falcon's_Eye]

can I ref? :D

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

You're gonna have to wait MOH. Absence tower just means no DQ's, or waiting for reffing. The slot is filled.

Anyone else?

[Rossymore]

Can I lose to you a fifth time?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Have some confidence! You're on!

This shall be a double battle. No more, no less.

I'm gonna send out Joey Fissure, my male Trapinch (Arena Trap) and Barragarn Luisenbarn, my male shiny Dusclops (Pressure).

Banned moves: Toxic and Rest (feel free to add anything else)
DQ: 5 days!

You attack first. You can also choose the arena:)

Good luck!

[Rossymore]

Alright then, I shall choose Scuttle, my male Krabby with the ability Hyper Cutter. I will also be using my own male Dusclops by the name of Samayouru (or just Sama) with the ability Levitate.

Now arena...I think a nice sunny beach would be recommended, with crystal clear water to the left (your right, MeLo) and the perfect area for digging and stuff (benefits both my Krabby and your Trapinch). There's also a palm tree to my right (your left) which might be used for...something.

Okay, Scuttle, let's begin with a Swords Dance then a Crabhammer on Joey. Then, if you're being attacked, use Mud Shot on the attacker, or use Iron Defense if they leave you be.
Meanwhile, Sama, start with Safeguard, quickly now, then Taunt your other self, or use Shadow Ball on Barragarn if you yourself have been Taunted. Finish with a Shadow Ball on Barragarn, or use Shadow Punch on any Pokemon that used Double Team.

Scuttle: Swords Dance ~ Crabhammer (J) ~ Iron Defense/Mud Shot (B/J)
Samayouru: Safeguard ~ Taunt/Shadow Ball (B) ~ Shadow Ball (B)/Shadow Punch (B/J)

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Barragan, Taunt Sama. Then Will-o-wisp Sama if the Taunt worked (so SG failed). If not sub WoW for Shadowball. Snatch that Iron Defense.
Joey, Sunny Day, then as Scuttle comes at you for a Crabhammer blast him back with a powerful Solarbeam! Finish with Crunch on Sama.

B: Taunt (sama) ~ Willowisp (sama) | Chargebeam (scuttle) ~ Snatch (scuttle)
J: Sunny Day ~ Solarbeam (scuttle) ~ Crunch (sama)

[Rossymore]

Now the question is which of our Dusclops' go first! o_0

[Falcon's_Eye]

Sweet, my first double reffing! Work with me on this, it's gonna take me a couple tries before i get it right and post. i'll try and get it done as fast as possible though

[Falcon's_Eye]

quick question MLG, where'd the charge beam come from?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I meant Chargebeam, not Shadowball. Dunno why I wrote that down =/

[Falcon's_Eye]

Ahhhh, what a beautiful setting for today's battle! I will be your referee today, everybody! I've got my Oddish giving me some shade, and my Snorunt hitting me with an occasional cool blast. Today we have a double battle (my first, how exciting!) between Moderator MeLoVeGhOsTs and Rossymore!
MLG sends out a strong looking Trapinch, Joey Fissure, and a fearsome Dusclops, Barragarn Luisenbarn! Rossymore sends out a just-as-fearsome looking Dusclops named Samayouru, and also a Krabby, aptly named Scuttle! Let's begin!

And so the match begins! Samayouru starts off by creating a protective Safeguard around himself....but halfway through, Barragarn begins throwing insults his way, something about how he isn't strong enough, tough enough, shiny enough...and the Taunt works! Sama's safeguard fails unfortunately due to his distraction. Scuttle begins to crawl side-to-side in an attempt to strengthen his attack (Seriously? How does that even work?). I have to say, Joey is my favorite this round, what with that wonderful sun he called out!

Feeling confident from his newfound strength, Scuttle races in towards Joey, and smashes into his skull repeatedly with a hardened claw! Taking the hit, Joey absorbs the light from the magnificent sun (just as I am now...ahhh this is wonderful) and fires a powerful blast point-blank into Krabby's chest. Ouch! Meanwhile, the two Dusclops are going at it head to head. Sama, feeling that Taunt still, fires a ball made of distraught souls at Barragarn. As the dark blast heads toward him, Barragarn summons an ancient fire, and spreads it around Sama, burning him, just as Barragarn is hit with that Shadowball!

Sama once again collects despair in the form of a sphere, getting ready to launch it at Barragarn. But what's this? Joey, feeling comfortable in the sand, has buried underneath Sama, and Crunches his legs hard! The pain from that super-effective blow makes Sama lose his focus for a split-second as he fires another Shadow Ball. The altered trajectory forces the Shadow Ball to hit Barragarn in the side, rather than full-on. Seeing a lull in action on his end, Scuttle decides to bulk up with an Iron Defense. As he shelters down and prepares to reinforce his shell, Barragarn suddenly appears behind him, and uses his dark powers to drain the Defense boost from Scuttle.

That's all for this round! It looks like Barragarn might do better now that he snatched away Scuttle's Defense boost. Joey Fissure seems to be staying away from receiving damage, choosing instead to deal it out. Oh, and I think someone needs to tell Sama that when you're at the beach, you should use some sunblock to prevent those burns... I need another drink...

Joey, like myself, is loving this sun! He's starts absorbing energy for a super-effective Solarbeam, aiming it at Scuttle! Scuttle, seeing Joey start to glow, calls in rain from the heavens in order to stop that attack. But the blazing sun that had already been called out means its taking a little longer to build up those clouds, allowing Joey to fire that Solarbeam uninhibited! As the rain begins to pour down, and Scuttle picks himself up from the ground, Barragarn lets loose a ray of light, that splits in front of Scuttle in multiple directions, confusing him. Meanwhile, Sama has begun to launch insults at Joey about being a *&@# and a &@%$^$, and also a @%$#%|!

Sama begins by summoning a beautiful veil of light, covering himself with it for future protection.

Just as Scuttle hammers himself, Barragarn launches another Shadow Ball at his (almost) look-a-like. Joey takes advantage of the just-hit Sama, and crunches his leg with extreme force!

As he opens his eyes after hitting himself, he sees an electrified fist flying towards him! Barragarn's Thunderpunch collided head-on...as does Sama's Shadow Ball as it hits Barragarn! What a twist!

Alright...let's start with a Confuse Ray on Joey, Sama. Then hit Barragan with a Dark Pulse, then use Protect, but if Krabby is confused or unable to attack, use Shadow Ball on Barragan, that and if you're Taunted.

Krabby, use Water Pulse on Joey, then an Ice Beam on him. Finish with a Surf.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Ok, Joey use Quick Attack + Crunch on Sama! Meanwhile, Barragarn will set up a Safeguard for the team. Then use Feint on Sama when it wants to Protect.

Barragarn, yes so Safeguard first, then Chargebeam on Scuttle twice!

Joey speeds forward, almost vanishing from sight! Sama looks calm, knowing that normal attacks don't work on him, until he feels excruciating pain on his arm...Joey just used the speed of that attack to strengthen his Crunch! Barragarn chuckles to himself at the pity of his counterpart, while he creates a safeguard for his own team. Sama isn't too happy, and decides to let Joey have a taste of confusion, as he lets forth a Confuse Ray of his own...which simply gets absorbed by the safeguard Barragarn had just set up. Scuttle, loving this rain, prepares to use it to create a nice strong Water Pulse. But it looks like he swallowed too much water, and has started choking!

Joey decides to take a breather after that combo attack, and just sits idly by. Scuttle, frustrated by that stupid number generator that's keeping him from attacking, charges up and Ice Beam aimed at Joey. But no! He charged up too much, and the ice began to form around his little mouth, and he had to stop. The pain the little Krabby caused himself wasn't enough to stop Barragarn from attacking him though! ZAP! goes the charge beam, as it crackles around Scuttle. Too bad it didn't give Barragarn any boosts though. Sama, watching all of this, summons the epitome of dark energy around him, pulsing it outwards, slamming into Barragarn for a Super-effective hit.

Scuttle, getting less confused as time goes on, is finally able to attack! He summons a huge tidal wave from the ocean, slamming it into both Joey and Barragarn for a great hit! Glad that his partner is pulling his weight now, Sama throws up a protective shield around himself. As soon as the wave ends, Team MLG goes on a double offensive immediately! As Barragarn fires off another Charge beam at Scuttle, Joey Feints through the shield, throwing himself into Sama...only to fall right through him. It seems someone forgot Normal-type moves don't work against ghosts. That last charge beam has finally snapped Scuttle out of its confusion as well as bringing up Barragarn Special Attack stat!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I thought my commands were to set up a Safeguard for the team. Or did that fail for some reason?

[Falcon's_Eye]

Sorry, that was my bad. I edited that in. Not much was affected by it, but it could've gotten nasty witht he confusion.

[Falcon's_Eye]

Sorry for the double post, but, you're up MLG! :)

[Falcon's_Eye]

Sorry guys, but you'll need a sub-ref...I don't have any time for ASB anymore. I have a dance intensive all this week, I'm on vacation next week, and then I'm getting ready to move into college. So, the little time i do have left before then needs to be spent on other things.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Joey, trap Sama in a Sand Tomb, then Crunch it twice.

Barragan, Chargebeam on Scuttle twice. Then Shadowball on Sama.

Falcon's_Eye, thanks a lot for reffing. If you ever have time again, don't hesitate to drop by here at ASB. You'll be welcome, I promise ya.

Take care!

[Rossymore]

Okay, Scuttle, stand in front of Sama and use Protect. That should protect both of you. Then stream a Bubblebeam at Joey. Finally, use another Surf.

Okay, Sama, when Scuttle has protected you, use Dark Pulse on Barragan. Then use Pain Split on Barragan and finish with a Protect.

[Knight of Time]

I'll sub-ref.

I need to ask a question though, whenever I come in to sub-ref a battle (it'll be my first time as a sub-ref, so bear with me please guys), am I expected to use certain rules that the original ref (in this case, Falcon's_Eye) used, such as the paralysis/confusion rule he had used here? I generally don't ref paralysis as wearing off on its own, unlike confusion, which I tend to use a randomizer to determine. Of course, I ref Toxic the same way, having its damage go up by 2% each round, and my energy system is the same (1 Health for every 2 Energy used while at 0% Energy).

I'll try and get the reffing up today if I can.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Well, personally, you can ref by your own rules, but don't change anything that's already been done. So if a new confusion or paralysis appears, ref it your style.

[Knight of Time]

Okay, this will be my first sub-reffing, and also the first time doing a double battle, so here we go.

BTW, unless I'm mistaken, Dusclops cannot learn Safeguard AFAIK.

One more thing, with burns, I take off 3 health per round, slightly different than what Falcon's_Eye did, but it shouldn't make much of a difference, right?

The battle is momentarily paused as a SRSOS (sub-ref SOS) is called for. Answering the call for a much-needed sub-ref in this battle, I quickly arrive to the scene to take the place of Falcon's_Eye, greeting MLG and Rossymore and their respective Pokemon duos. With that, the battle is able to continue, and Joey is quick off the bat to try and trap Sama in his signature Sand Tomb. But before the cone of sand can begin to form around Sama, his partner Scuttle comes in, throwing up a Protect shield that not only blocks the Sand Tomb, but also proves to be a hinderance for Barragan's Charge Beam, as the beam of pure electricity and sparks is nullified as well. Thankful for his partner's protection, Sama wastes no time in blasting his shiny twin with a powerful Dark Pulse, causing Barragan to cry in pain as it knocks him for a bit of a loop. The rain meanwhile fades.

Joey Fissure: -6 Energy
Barragan Luisenarn: -8 Health, -4 Energy
Scuttle: -9 Energy
Sama: -10 Energy

A little disappointed that his Sand Tomb was thwarted, Joey runs over to Sama, opening his mouth wide to chomp down on the Dusclops with a Crunch, causing Sama to cry in pain as the dark energy coming from the Trapinch's massive jaws leaves its painful mark on Sama. Barragan goes for a second Charge Beam on Scuttle, and this time around, the beam of electricity and sparks manages to make its mark on the Krabby, causing him to cry in pain as it brings him even closer to fainting. Scuttle though, retaliates, forcefully shooting off a Bubblebeam at Joey, causing the Trapinch to cry in pain as he is repeatedly smacked with the bubble barrage. Sama, hoping to extend his time in the battle, goes for a Pain Split on Barragan, regaining a nice bit of health in the process.

Joey Fissure: -8 Health, -10 Energy
Barragan Luisenarn: -6 Health, -4 Energy
Scuttle: -11 Health, -4 Energy
Sama: -2 Health (-9 from the Crunch, +7 from the Pain Split healing), -12 Energy

Going back on the attack, Joey goes for a second Crunch on Sama, opening his mouth again and preparing to chomp down hard on the Dusclops once more. But this time though, Sama is having none of that as he brings up a Protect shield that blocks both the Crunch and Barragan's Shadow Ball, leaving MLG's Pokemon disappointed for that brief moment. Another wave of water soon crashes down on both Joey and Barragan, knocking them both for a painful loop, thanks to another Surf from Scuttle. The Krabby may be down, but he knows he isn't finished yet. The burn Sama is being bothered by soon makes him wince as it saps a little more of his health.

Joey Fissure: -13 Health, -10 Energy
Barragan Luisenarn: -11 Health, -15 Energy
Scuttle: -15 Energy
Sama: -3 Health, -9 Energy

Status: Burned (3% per round)

Notes:

-When I ref a Pokemon at 0% energy, they lose 1 point of health for each 2 points of energy they use, so keep that in mind, guys (essentially the same thing Falcon's_Eye did)

-If either of you are wondering why a few of the energy calculations were high, it's basically what happens when a Pressure Pokemon is attacked, I tend to add around 50% to the normal amount of energy that the move normally uses against a Pokemon that doesn't have Pressure. If it's too much, let me know, please, hopefully, that won't be the case despite the fact that Pressure can be a little tricky for me to ref, I mean, it is the first time I'm reffing a Pokemon with that ability, and I have to admit I'm not always perfect with reffing new situations, I just go with my best judgement.

-Rossymore, you have the first move for the next round.

[Rossymore]

It's alright for you...I haven't reffed Pressure yet.

Also, why didn't I use Pain Split on Joey? *shrugs*

Okay, Sama, quickly use a Substitute. About 10% should do it. Then use Safeguard on the both of you. Finish with Pain Split on Joey. If you've been annoyingly Taunted, Shadow Ball on Barragan all the way.

Scuttle, use Flail on Joey all the way. If you're Taunted, switch to Crabhammer on the second (or third) action.

Sama: Sub (10%) ~ Safeguard ~ Pain Split (J) (Sub: Shadow Ball)
Scuttle: Flail x3 (J)/Crabhammer (J)

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Barragan, Snatch that Substitute from Sama. Then Taunt it. Finish with Shadowball on Sama.

Joey, use Earthpower and finish that krabby! Then Crunch on Sama twice!

[IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] Health: 31%
[IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] Energy: 14%
Ability: Pressure
Substitute (10% or so) ~ Safeguard (both self and Scuttle) ~ Pain Split (Joey)
Status: Burned (3% per round)

The round begins as Scuttle goes over to Joey and begins to Flail viciously at the Trapinch, hitting him repeatedly with the painful tips of his pincers. Joey, not about to let the Krabby keep getting away with his Flailing, conjures up an Earth Power, hitting the Krabby hard with the ball of earth energy and causing him to lay there on the spot. Sama, unhappy at seeing his partner fall in defeat, decides on opening up his Malletspace account and beginning to form a Substitute of which to fill with a decent chunk of his remaining health. But no sooner does the Substitute get formed, it is Snatched away by Barragan, making Sama's single eye glow with a look of hatred at his red counterpart.

Joey Fissure: -15 Health, -7 Energy
Barragan Luisenarn: -3 Energy, Sub: 10 Health
Scuttle: -7 Health, -8 Energy
Sama: -10 Health, -7 Energy

With himself at a considerable disadvantage against his two opponents, Sama tries once again to use Safeguard...but with no idea of how the move is supposed to work, Sama sighs, realizing he wasted a move. That isn't the case for Joey, as he uses another Crunch on Sama, making the Dusclops cry in pain again. Things only get more complicated for Sama, as he is subjected to some nasty Taunting courtesy of Barragan, saying stuff about grey being a pathetic colour for a Dusclops...uh oh, Sama is looking mad, judging by how easily he fell for that Taunt...

Joey Fissure: -3 Health (due to the energy conversion)
Barragan Luisenarn: -3 Energy
Sama: -9 Health, Taunted

Not about to go down without causing some pain for his crimson, ethereal counterpart, Sama begins to charge up a Shadow Ball, while Barragan begins to make one of his own. The two orbs of ghost energy soon make their marks on their respective targets, making both Dusclops cry in pain as a result..or is it just one? Yes, just Sama folks, as Barragan's sub ends up shattering and fading away right there. Joey, not wanting to be left out of the fun for too much longer, delivers another painful Crunch on Sama, and this one, in combination with the Shadow Ball hit he had taken earlier, is too much for Sama to handle, as the dark energy crackling in Joey's big jaws brings Sama down and out for the count, bringing this double battle to an end.

Joey Fissure: -5 Health (from the energy conversion)
Barragan Luisenarn: -15 Energy, Sub gone
Sama: -21 Health (3 from the energy conversion)

Notes:

Scuttle and Sama are both unable to battle, meaning MLG has won the battle. Still, you both did well, thanks for allowing me to finish reffing the battle for the two of you.

MLG gets 2 points for the win.
Rossymore gets 1 point for the loss.
I'm guessing I get no points for sub-reffing this battle? If that's the case, it's okay, it's not like I'm desperate to get some points, the experience is the other good thing.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Good battle Ross, I liked it.

Thanks for subreffing Kyle, allas you get no points, but you're on my good people list now.

Falcon's_Eye: you were a good ref and I hope to see you around again.

[Rossymore]

Wooh battle. I've now got two Pokemon to evolve. Huzzah!

Also, Dusclops doesn't know Safeguard. The fudge? Why don't Pokemon know moves they should know?

[Knight of Time]

Why don't Pokemon know moves they should know?

I know how you feel about that, Rossymore...yeah, when a Pokemon cannot learn a move that it should be able to learn, it's just as baffling...similarly, I think I might have noticed at least one case of a TM move that can only be learned by a certain Pokemon via a method other than using the TM itself.
