Razor Leaf vs. Charizard04621 (Referee: Chris 2.0)

[Charizard04621]

No, this does not mean open season on Charizard04621, I will only have one battle (or however many it takes to win once) just so one pokémon can evolve.

I'd like to thank Razor Leaf for agreeing to battle me and Chris 2.0 for agreeing to ref :).

And so, the rules are as follows:

Type: 2 vs. 2 Tag Team
Order: Charizard04621 chooses first. Razor Leaf attacks first.
Arena: Celestial Palace Battlegrounds

A star platform of pure, rainbow-colored crystal levitates smoothly in the air. Shrouded by a blanket of silvery stars, this arena is one of eternal night. The golden moon hangs brightly above. In the middle of the star platform lies a magnificent, towering palace, eighty meters tall, surrounded by lush, fragrant gardens and a large moat filled with crystal-clear azure water. The moat is eight meters wide and twenty meters deep. There is no bridge, but pokémon may cross over to the other side by other means. A silent Suicune resides here, keeping the water eternally pure and untaintable. Outside the castle doors, two mounted Rayquaza statues stare into the skies in stony silence, three meter sentinels of shining marble. Lining the garden paths are loose miniature stone Dratini statues, half a meter tall. They are very durable, not easily destroyed. They watch over the beautiful gardens.

Disruptive and destructive attacks to the arena such as Earthquake are strictly forbidden here due to the damage that they would cause. If a pokémon uses such an attack, the palace guards (three Houndoom) will attack the culprit until it is close to fainting. The well-trained Houndoom never attack unless a pokémon uses such a move. Of course, they could be provoked to attacking if they are attacked themselves. To prevent excessive damage to the castle and gardens, pokémon generally start off on the ground on the outer side of the moat, away from the inner part of the castle.

Since the arena is one of eternal night, any move that depends on the sun such as Morning Sun and Synthesis will always fail. In addition, Moonlight will be extremely effective. However, the use of Moonlight is strictly kept down to once per trainer per battle. If used any more than once, the guardian Mew will prevent the Moonlight's success and penalize the offender with a loss of health. The Mew serves as a protector; it will not allow the death of any pokémon, and will do all in its power to save any who undergo this threat.

Multi-colored meteor showers occur once every third round. If a pokémon is caught unprepared, the fist-sized meteorites might become a problem. However, at the beginning of the match, it will be decided whether or not the battlers want to deal with the extra meteor shower hazard. If they do not, a switch will be triggered to activate a barrier around the entire arena which shields pokémon from the meteorites. Weather changing moves such as Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail, and any other weather changing moves will serve no apparent use if the barrier is active. Tampering with the barrier's switch intentionally while the battle is going on will result in automatic disqualification.









PX, you choose - would you like the barrier active or inactive, active meaning that the meteorite path will be obstructed, while inactive would allow the meteorites to pass? After you choose, I will send out my team.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Active, lets use the arena as it was meant to be used. As a vicous Elite Battle Ground.

[Charizard04621]

Hahaha. All right, then.

I'll go with Silver, the male Dratini, and Sable, the male Aerodactyl.

Your move.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Hmm ok lets go Glott (male Spheal) and Lady Harker (female Golbat)

Glott, lets start off with a Double Team first of all, to see how our enemy reacts. Next, send an Icea Beam against Dratini and finish by Body Slamming it.

Lady Harker, your opponent in the skies will not be a pushover, so be careful. Lets try to Astonish it first, then quickly use Poison Fang on a wing. Finish with Air Cutter.

[Charizard04621]

Muahahahaha.

Silver, dispel those Spheal clones with Shock Wave. Follow up with Thunder Wave on Glott, then peg him with a close range Thunder as he decides so conveniently to move into your range.

Sable, if you give that Golbat a Scary Face, perhaps she will think twice about trying to surprise you... Regardless, let's see how she likes trying to sink a Poison Fang into your Steel Wing. End by Bite onto one of her wings (come from behind her if you can), and do not let go.

[Charizard04621]

Active, lets use the arena as it was meant to be used. As a vicous Elite Battle Ground.

By the way, I just read your post properly. You seem to want the barrier inactive (meteorites showers every 3rd round) but you said that the barrier should be active (blocks the paths of the meteorites). Would you please clarify what you meant? I'm assuming you want the meteorites to be able to pass, meaning that you'd like the barrier to be disabled, but it's good to double-check.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Or crap. yeah i meant inactive. No barrier. Let the chunks of metorite rain down and squish us like bugs. And stuff... i knew i should have picked soemthing other than spheal. or atleast evolved him. Poor glott..

[Chris 2.1]

Will ref this sometime over the weekend.

[Charizard04621]

Thanks Chris, no rush. I used to do a same-day reffing so much that people bumped the topic/contacted me on AIM when I hadn't reffed after an 11:56 PM post or something... -_-

PX - Squishy bugs! ^_^ Fun stuff. BTW, are the things in your sig your entire ASB team?

[RaZoR LeAf]

Yep that's all of them alright. Zangoose, Torchic, Zubat and Solrock I started off with, the rest have come along gradually. I made similar banners for Chris, Vermillion and Andrew too. When i evolve some of my team i'm chaning the banner style for a while, just for a different look.

[Charizard04621]

Cool, looks great. Wonder how your next setup will be like.

And you shouldn't feel guilty about Glott, he and Harker were your only swimmer and flyer anyway.

[Chris 2.1]

I'm sorry guys but my workload's rapidly increasing, and I don't think I can ref this match for you. You may have to find another ref. Sorry.

[Charizard04621]

That's all right, Chris. I know how that feels. If I weren't obsessive about doing every single job people give me, I'd have said no quite a few times to begin with.

Hmm, I'm not sure who else I'd trust to act as referee. I have to admit I read over a bunch of referee posts and I don't really like their styles. Some are balancers, some are awful, and some are just too slow for my tastes.

I'd ask Syberia if he's still around, but I don't see him posting anywhere here recently. PX, any thoughts?

[RaZoR LeAf]

If Syberia is up for it I have no objections. Not sure who else would be good, Wolfsong maybe?

[Charizard04621]

Sadly, I haven't seen either of them satisfactorily active lately. ;_;

[Darth Skrusti]

*pokes his head in* Hiya C04621, dunno if you remember me, but I *used* to be a pretty good ref. My life is getting back into order, and I could ref this for you guys, if you want. I'm a Rookie Ref, but I'll try my damned hardest to get back to the level I once was for this battle. I swear I won't let you down if you want me to be the ref. I'm currently reffing a match, and it should be up within a couple hours ^_^

If you don't want me to ref, oh well, I tried ^_^;

[Charizard04621]

I remember you, I don't want to be cruel but I'd rather call this battle off for now. I have a tendency to dispute a lot of things and the only way to avoid that is to find a person that I will not dispute as often. Very few people fit that description. I am a very picky person.

PX, what would you like to do? Do you want to give Skrusti a try? What I do not want to do is waste your battle slot, so either we get this referee or fight later. I leave it up to you; I am in no hurry to evolve Silver.

[RaZoR LeAf]

I have no objections, but since you didn't want to have any major battles, I'd like for the one you do have to be on terms you want. So in that case, perhaps we should put it on hold for another time. Sorry Skrusti, but after this I'll have a free slot and we can have that battle I promised you too.

[Charizard04621]

As you wish. Good luck in your battle in the near future.
