A Returning Battle (C~Dub versus Metallixs Girl, REF: Greyfox)

[C~Dub]

Ok, so I haven't been on in months and I figure why not give ASB another try. First of all, I apologize to all the folks I disappointed by not showing up to battle. Also I'd like to congratulate my good friend papabopp for defeating none other than the LEGENDARY RAWK HAWK! You're awesome dude.

Ok onto the match. Just a simple, flat, tennis-court arena with long swimming pools on both sides. Three versus three, one out at a time. No banned moves, aside from the obligatory OHKO's. I'll send out first, you attack first. So who's up to take the challenge.

[Metallixs Girl]

I'm in!

[C~Dub]

Very well, then a new member versus an old returning member. IT WILL BE WRITTEN IN STONE......that I send out my shining star, Digit (the Porygon with the Download ability).

So it is your turn to send out and attack madame.

[Metallixs Girl]

Very well, then. Maple, Female Bonsly with Rock Head. Start with Role Play, Rock Polish, then Low Kick.

Role Play~Rock Polish~Low Kick

[C~Dub]

Very well Digit, start with Sunny Day, then use Solar Beam, and then use Conversion2 after it uses Low Kick.

[Greyfox]

RETURN BATTLE!
C~DUB v. METALLIXS GIRL

Round 1
C~Dub has returned to battle a girl who belongs to a hedgehog-shaped robot. Times are interesting, indeed. Dub calls out his first pokemon: Digit, a sharp-looking porygon, while MxG does the same with Maple, her bonsly. Digit scans the tree-based pokemon and raises its attack powers in response to it [ +10% SpA Digit ]. Orders are given out, and the battle begins.

Digit chirps and makes other varying computer sounds as the few clouds in the sky part, sending shimmering sunlight down below [ -7PP Digit / Sunny Day active ]. Maple, meanwhile, studies her technologically advanced foe and matches its abilities [ -5PP, @Download Maple ]. As a result, her attack power increases to take advantage of Digit's weaker defense [ +10% Atk Maple ].
100/93 100/95

The rock pokemon speeds up her resolve greatly [ -5PP, +20% Spd Maple ]. As she's done that, the porygon has been quickly collecting the sun's energy before blasting it towards the tree pokemon. Almost taunting her, Digit scores a direct hit [ -19HP Maple / -10PP Digit ].
100/83 82/90

Maple, now much speedier, pulls herself back together and drives towards the unaligned pokemon, tripping it up and sending it straight to the floor weakly [ -11HP Digit / -5PP Maple ]. The porygon absorbs the hit and mutates itself -- it's body changing color becoming completely pink in the process [ -6PP, Psychic-typing Digit ].

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

(psst, it's a bonsly)

[Metallixs Girl]

I don't understand, what made Maple not Role Play?

[C~Dub]

Ok Digit start by using Solar Beam again but wait for Maple to attack first, if maple uses a Dark-type move, use Conversion2 instead of Solar Beam. Then use Agility, and again if it uses a Dark-type move, use Conversion2, but only if you haven't already. And finally finish with Flash, and again uses Conversion2 if Maple uses a Dark-Type move, but only if you haven't already.

Solar Beam/Coversion2 ~ Agility/Conversion 2 ~ Flash/Conversion2

[Greyfox]

Sorry, I guess I should've explained that better, but according to Veekun and Bulbapedia, Role Play's a move that neither Bonsly nor Sudowoodo learn.

[Edit] She's a bonsly!? How the hell did I miss that!?

[DarkestLight]

This says otherwise

[Greyfox]

Oh that is just annoying. Neither site list it under Bonsly's learnset, but Serebii does, so I guess it's legit.

[DarkestLight]

Yeah, its stupid. I had to reverse-look it up on a few sites, and they all say Bonsly gets it. I dunno why they never put it in the movelists.

[Greyfox]

Alright, fixed it. Sorry for the confusion, M's G.

[Metallixs Girl]

No problem, Greyfox, thanks. All right Maple, we'd rather deal with a type change then another Solar Beam, so go ahead and use Faint Attack. Then use Sandstorm, and finish with Fake Tears.

Faint Attack~Sandstorm~Fake Tears

RETURN BATTLE!
C~DUB v. METALLIXS GIRL

Round 2
Maple begins the round by cloaking herself in the darkness. Digit, who had been preparing a solar beam, puts it on hold and starts the conversion process. Slap!, Maple bashes the psychic porygon with her branches [ -10HP Digit / -5PP Maple ]. The porygon's pink color fades into a silvery metal [ -6PP, Steel-typing Digit ].
79/71 81/80

Maple flusters up and the shining sunlight is immediately replaced by a vicious sandstorm, buffeting no pokemon whatsoever [ -5PP Maple / Sandstorm activated ]. Meanwhile, Digit tries to keep up with the rock tree's speed by darting around the arena swiftly [ -5PP, +20% Spd Digit ].
80/66 81/75

Now up to speed, Digit lets out a flash of light that shines against the sandy walls, affecting no one in particular [ -2PP Digit ], as Maple begins to sigh and cry, effecting the steel duckling's faux emotions [ -2PP Maple / -20% SpD Digit ].



SANDSTORM

[Metallixs Girl]

Earth Power and Rollout for the rest of the round.

Earth Power~Rollout x2

[C~Dub]

Alright, that was NOT the type I was expecting, but I can work with this. This time use Conversion (not Conversion 2 this time) and turn into a fighting type. Then use Sunny Day and finish with Solar Beam.

[Greyfox]

RETURN BATTLE!
C~DUB v. METALLIXS GIRL

Round 3
Digit begins converting its type once more, to something it remembers [ -6PP Digit, Fighting-typing ], as well as losing his immunity to the sandstorm [ -1HP Digit ]. Maple then lets loose with a blast of earth energy that knocks the computer pokemon to the tennis court floor [ -11HP Digit / -7PP Maple ].
67/58 81/66

Digit scrambles to get back into the swing of things and begins chirping meticulously at the sandstorm. It slowly fades away as sunlight emerges from the clouds above [ -7PP Digit / Sunny Day activated ]. Maple then collides into the porygon with rock energy, dealing very weak damage [ -2HP Digit / -3PP Maple ].
65/51 81/63

Maple comes around for another pass, picking up speed along the way before crashing once more, still doing considerably weak damage to the now-fighting type [ -4HP Digit / -3PP Maple ]. Digit responds by blasting the rock pokemon with pure solar energy, sending her reeling into a fence [ -19HP Maple / -10PP Digit ].


SUNNY DAY

[C~Dub]

Ok Start with another two Solar Beams, and then finish with Double Team. If Maple tries to use any weather-altering effects again, counter it with a Sunny Day.

[Metallixs Girl]

Okay, then you Double Team, and then Toxic and Sandstorm.

Double Team~Toxic~Sandstorm

[Greyfox]

RETURN BATTLE!
C~DUB v. METALLIXS GIRL

Round 4
Digit utilizes the heavy sunlight once again and fires off another solar beam, striking Maple down easily [ -19HP Maple / -10PP Digit ]. Maple pulls herself back together, however, and splits herself into five, increasing her evasion exponentially [ -8PP, +80% Eva Maple ].
61/31 42/40

Digit fires off another solar beam, but the energy rips through one of Maple's many clones [ -10PP Digit / -5% Eva Maple ]. The bonsly hits the porygon with an energy-sapping poison [ -5PP Maple / +3% Tox Digit ].
61/31 42/40

Digit decides that it too should create some clones and does so [ -8PP, -1HP, +80% Eva Digit ], but Maple makes short work of all of them by summoning a sandstorm to overtake the arena floor [ -5PP Maple / -80% Eva Digit / Sandstorm activated ].


SANDSTORM

[Metallixs Girl]

Okay, now Dig down and up, and Flail.

Dig~Dig~Flail

[C~Dub]

Ok, start by using Magnet Rise, then Relax for a round, and finish by using Iron Tail.

[Greyfox]

RETURN BATTLE!
C~DUB v. METALLIXS GIRL

Round 5
As the sandstorm continues, Maple digs her way underground [ -3PP Maple ] as Digit begins hovering higher and higher into the air [ -5PP, -2HP Digit ].
58/18 42/32

Maple emerges from her hole to find that Digit is up way too high for her to cause any harm whatsoever [ -2PP Maple ]. Digit merely takes a moment to recharge its batteries [ +10PP, -2HP Digit ].
56/28 42/30

Digit shoots down from its place high in the air and slams harshly into the faux tree pokemon [ -15HP Maple / -7PP, -2HP Digit ] while she retalliates with a fluttered attack of desperation [ -11HP Digit / -7PP Maple ].


SANDSTORM

[C~Dub]

Alright, use Iron Tail two more times and finish by relaxing.

[Metallixs Girl]

Flail 3 times.

Flail x3

[C~Dub]

Uh, Greyfox?

[Greyfox]

It's not even been an entire day since the last reffing, C, you may wanna be a little more patient. I just got outta work after all.

[C~Dub]

I apologize, I suppose I just imagined it was longer. Again, my apologies.

[Greyfox]

*Forgot to notate the damage from the sandstorm to Digit. Editted into this round though.

RETURN BATTLE!
C~DUB v. METALLIXS GIRL

Round 5
Digit strikes the bonsly with another iron tail [ -15HP Maple / -7PP, -3HP, -1HP Digit ]. This, however, only strengthens Maple's resolve as she desperately strikes him again [ -15HP Digit / -7PP Maple ].
21/14 12/16

The bobbing porygon ends Maple with another iron tail, sending her whipping back into her trainer [ -12HP Maple / -7PP, -3HP, -1HP Digit ].
17/7 0/16

Metallixs Girl recalls her fallen pokemon.

[Metallixs Girl]

How do I miss these? I wish this board didn't take out all the unread posts by just logging into the forum...Oh well... Come on out, Violet!

Female with Natural Cure

[C~Dub]

Ok, Digit use Toxic. And if you're still around by then use Thunder Wave. And if you're STILL around Relax.

[Metallixs Girl]

That Toxic won't bother you any, so use Mind Reader, Leaf Storm, and Toxic Spikes.

Mind Read~Leaf Storm~Toxic Spikes

[Greyfox]

RETURN BATTLE!
C~DUB v. METALLIXS GIRL

Round 6
Maple is replaced with Violet, an off-colored roselia who begins her tenure in this battle by locking onto Digit's frequency [ -3PP Violet ]. Unable to escape the task at hand, Digit tries to weaken his foe with toxicity... but Vi just takes the venom in stride; even starts rubbing it into her skin a little [ -5PP, -3HP Digit ]. Weird.
14/2 100/97

Violet makes this round a short one by conjuring up a massive energy spell that shoots the fighting pokemon into a wall painfully. Vi, having successfully launched the attack, takes a few moments to regain some strength [ -14HP Digit / -9PP, -20% SpA Violet ].
0/2 100/88

Digit is recalled.

[C~Dub]

I send Bruce, my Male Houndour with Flash Fire.

[Metallixs Girl]

Vi, start out with Water Sport, then Sludge Bomb and Poison Jab.

[C~Dub]

Start by using Nasty Plot twice, then finish up with Will-o-Wisp.

[Greyfox]

RETURN BATTLE!
C~DUB v. METALLIXS GIRL

Round 7
A loyal houndour named Bruce enters the battlefield, and before Vi can even do anything, the hound starts plotting [ -5PP, +20% SpA Bruce ]. As he's plotting, Vi finds a water source and starts spreading it around her body, increasing her firefighting prowess [ -5PP, +50% Wat-Res Violet ].
100/95 100/83

Bruce continues his nasty plotting [ -5PP, +20% SpA Bruce ] as Violet fires off a large bomb of poison energy that collides into his fur [ -7HP Bruce / -5PP Violet ].
93/90 100/78

Bruce, no longer plotting, spits out a weak fireball that burns Vi on contact [ -3PP Bruce / +3% Brn Violet ]. The plant pokemon singes for a moment before jabbing the hound with her poisoned fist [ -8HP, +3% Psn Bruce / -4PP, -1HP Violet ].

[C~Dub]

Time to turn up the heat Bruce, start off by viciously mocking that she's a walking flower (Taunt), then use a combo of Sunny Day and Fire Blast.
