[DTT] Oslo vs. DarkestLight (ref: RaZoR LeAf)

[Oslo]

I don't know whether I should be more frightened of a Reshiram or a Darkly. I'm leaning toward... yeah, definitely the latter. Nonetheless, Dame Thistlebottom and I will do our best! :3 (Oh, and requisite boo for being the only one attacking first twice.)

Come out, oh venerable one with the pink face!



Begin with Sucker Punch. Follow with Earthquake and finish with an evade-and-hit-style Faint Attack.

Sub: Snatch what you can (bar Rest) and look away from Attraction attempts.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Oslo versus Darkly? Who's going to ref it!?

Dibs.

[BTPoke]

Oh, and requisite boo for being the only one attacking first twice.

whereas I have the requisite yay for being the only one able to attack SECOND twice xD

[DarkestLight]

Hrm. Two ways to go about this.

>.> Go with the bastard way.

Toxic~Earth Power~Sandstorm.

Show this uppity what it means to wipe some shade on that sunny side face.

[RaZoR LeAf]

With both battlers already having a win under their belt, this match will be the decider of who goes through to the semi-finals. Dame Thistlebottom, the pink faced Druddugion faces off against Chaostik the Garchomp. Her Ladyship acts first, weaving around Chaostik ready to delivery a quick punch before her foe can act. But Chaostik just raises an eyebrow (or not) and spits a viscous sticky fluid over his foe. Dame Thistlebottom stumbles backwards in revolt. Her planned attack ruined, and now the feeling of unearthly poison seeping into her veins.

Thistlebottom HP-0, PP-4 ; Intoxicated
Chaostik HP-0, PP-5

Both pokemon turn their attentions to the ground. Dame Thistlebottom stamps her feet angrily, rupturing the ground and sending the ripple out towards her foe. At the same time Chaostik funnels energy into the ground causing it to work backwards through the ripple and erupt out of the ground wherever there was a gap. The ripple of the earthquake throws Chaostik off balance and he falls to the floor to ride out the rest of the attack on his ass. The pockets os seismic energy erupt beneath Thistlebottom, showering her in raw earth power.

Thistlebottom HP-10, PP-5
Chaostik HP-10, PP-5

Both growling from the last attacks, they turn their attentions to more devious means of attacking. Chaostik draws his fins close, then throws them open, creating a vortex that whips up a sandstorm all around. Hard fragments of sand and rock lash against the body of Thistlebottom, but she all but vanishes from view for a second, only to reappear beside her foe and rake her claws across his chest. Chaostik snarls, but steps back into the storm and his body fades as it blends into the storm, making him harder to see.

I go first. OK. Sand Tomb~Aqua Tail~Swift

[Oslo]

I can't believe I just became that guy... the one who uses Sucker Punch while going first. If I lose in a photo finish, I'mma be so mad at myself.

RL, question. I might be wrong but I seem to remember you layering certain weather effects. Would a Sunny Day clear the Sandstorm? Or would it just create a hot Sandstorm?

[RaZoR LeAf]

Hot sandstorm would be right, still working out the kinks with things like a Wet/Snowy Sandstorm.

[Oslo]

Erp, a Sandstorm I can't clear doing 6 HP per round while my opponent has Sand Veil. That's all sorts of lovely. Another question: do you ref Outrage like in the games or can it be used unlinked?

[RaZoR LeAf]

You can use it once and be ok, but subsequent uses dramatically increase the chance of getting confused.

[Oslo]

Alrighty. Since we don't have the right moves to play Darkly's game, we'll just have to throw everything and the kitchen sink at him. Dodge around that Sand Tomb with an Aerial Ace and, once you have a lock, couple it with Dragon Claw and Outrage.

Aerial Ace + Dragon Claw + Outrage

[DarkestLight]

>.> Going hard already. This is gonna be awesome. And yes, Sucker Punch at the beginning? I was like "Seriously? This man about to get more shade than a coffin ride."

[RaZoR LeAf]

Feeling like she's been dropped in the deep end of shit creek without so much as a paddle, Dame Thistlebottom pours all of her time, energy and strength into one great big attack. Despite hiding in a sandstorm that he started, Chaostik isn't completely hidden, nor does he have completely control over the sand. He attempts to weave the uncontrollable element into a tomb to trap his foe, but boosted by a big of aerial jiggery-pokery, Dame TB skips and dodges around it. She lets out a guttural snarl and rushes at her foe, the aeronautics clearing a path through the sand like the parting of the red sea, giving her a perfect aim on her foe. Chaostik can scarcely beleive his eye, and howls in shock as Dame TB not only throws herself at him but starts clawing his body in outrage too. The Garchomp struggles against his foe before finally managing to toss the crazy Druddigion off him.

Thistlebottom HP-0, PP-14 ; HP-2
Chaostik HP-29, PP-1 ;
Sandstorm 8 Actions Remaining

Momentarily exhausted from the triple threat combo, Dame TB can't fight back when her foe approaches out of the storm and slaps her in the face with a big wet fish. Or that's what it feels and looks like anyway. In fact, Chaostik has imbued his own shark-like tail with pure water energy and used it to attack. But who can really be certain? Hitting people with wet fish is a time honoured internet tradition. Chaostik's tail itches after making contact with Dame TB's rough skin.

Thistlebottom HP-7, PP-0 ; HP-2
Chaostik HP-0, PP-4 ; (Rough Skin) HP-2
Sandstorm 7 Actions Remaining

Dame TB is growing restless, as her foe has vanished into the storm, and she cannot spot him anywhere. A shadow moving nearby might be him, but then again so can that large clump of sand. Which one is it? It doesn't really matter which is which, because as a flurry of glittering golden stars suddenly zom out of the storm, the mauve mugged pokemon can't dodge or avoid them, they circle back around and impact into her body, one two three four five! The grumbles and brushes her claws over the impact site.

Lol, I sort of feel like we're already playing toward an inevitable endgame, but we'll spam Earthquake anyway. :3

Save ONE of those SE moves . Oslo, yer always keeping me on my toes. I better get to the Move Tutor place stat.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Dame TB is having a hard time getting to grips with the kind of 'mon she's turning out to be. Throwing herself at a man in some kind of crazy she-devil bitch fit that only the glossiest of women's magazines would publish. Not the behaviour a Dame is known for. With rage building inside her from her previous attack, she lets out her anger on the ground, pounding it with her feet and sending waves of disruption through the stone floor. Chaostik can't do much to avoid the attack, sand veil or no he has to stand on something. The quake knocks him off his feet and he stumbles around trying to keep on stable footing. Lining up his foe, he throws a pulse of ancient feral energy out, and breaths a sigh of relief as it causes TB to stop her rampant stamping.

The Thislebottoms come from a long line of awkwardly coloured dragons. In memory of her grand-pappy; a green tailed Dragonair; Dame starts stamping her feet again. This gal will not let up on her tantrum, but this time Chaostik is ready. His tails starts to bang the ground rhythmically, each hit sending a pulse of earth energy back towards his foe. The ground bursts open as energy bursts out of pockets created by the quake. Both pokemon feel the brunt of the attacks and struggle to maintain their stature.

Really, she's stamping again!? There's not going to be much left of this arena when Dame Thistlebottom is through with it, and I dread to think of the cost of the manicure she'll need for her feet when this is over. Even though he's being thrown all over the place, Chaostik's attention is on the skies above. Great dark shadows fall over the arena, and the sound of thunder grows louder. It's not a storm welling, but three huge chunks of space rock, summoned from high above the world. An ethereal silver and purple flame burns on them, and they impact the ground, exploding into fragments of meteor and fire. All three land around the Dame, showering her with debris, but having the unexpected effect of dissipating the sandstorm with the shock-wave created by their landing. Dame roars in pain and shock, whilst Chaostik sags under the weight of the energy used to call them.

Protect on the first use of any offensive Dragon move, Taunt or Combo

Otherwise; Roar~Aerial Ace+Dragon Rush

:mells Oslo being fishy. Awaits the fishiness::

[RaZoR LeAf]

Edited to reflect Sand Veil no longer in effect. Garchomp's evasion is reset to normal

[Oslo]

Here's some fishiness. :3

Okay, Dame Thistlebottom... we might have this and we might not. Either way, you were positively spiffing.

Now, plug your ears against that Roar while making a teensy-weensy Substitute. Then, after Chaostik has finished his combo and landed, dish out another Earthquake. Finally, when he's all out of actions and can't use his subs, end him with a Draco Meteor.

[RaZoR LeAf]

The Sandstorm having been blown out by the falling meteors, Chaostik's evasion returns to normal as his skin is no longer blending into the sand. Left wide out in the open and in perfect view of his foe, the Garchomp lets out a powerful roar to scare an intimidate the Dame. Thistlebottom isn't paying any attention though, with claws in her ears and humming a tune she kicks the fallen sand together and imbues it with a little of her own energy, leaving Chaostik to stare at a bedraggled and beaten up life copy.

Thistlebottom HP-5, PP-8 ; Sub HP+5
Chaostik HP-0, PP-1

Chaostik isn't taking any chances now, and with a burst of feral draconic energy he leaps through the air, landing just beyond what he believes to be his foe, spins around and slices the Druddigon cleanly in two. A little shocked at how easy it was to cleave a fellow dragon in half, Chaostik looks around for reassurance and spots the real Dame TB smirking at him. He looks back and sees two halves of a crudely constructed substitute lying on the floor. Growling with bitter rage, he can barely turn back before an earthquake shudders along beneath him, knocking him around and throwing him to the floor.

Thistlebottom HP-0, PP-5 ; Sub Destroyed
Chaostik HP-10, PP-8

Having exhausted all his chances with a combo, Chaostik knows that the inevitable is approaching. With no way out, he stands tall, offers a short bow to Dame Thistlebottom and stands ready for her attack. Returning the bow, Dame Thistlebottom takes a leaf from the book of the last round, and calls down three great meteors. They smash into the floor around Chaostik, chunks of rock and balls of fire raining down upon him. The debris scattered all around the arena obscures everyone's vision, but it's clear that Chaostik has been knocked out by the final attack. Dame Thistlebottom smiles, but her body falters as the poison coursing through her veins doesn't it's work. She falls to the ground, knocked out by its effects. Chaostik was the first to fall, but how will this play out when it comes to deciding points? I don't know, what's why I'm asking.

So.... tell me how this works out.

[DarkestLight]

Oslo moves on.
We both get a 2 points.
You get 4. Life....finds a way and I will now murder Oslo when I have a chance to actually take on his Gym and he knows this. You better win this tourney, I was wanting that Gible xD.

[RaZoR LeAf]

That'll be the fishy smell again.

[DarkestLight]

Points are doubled for Tournaments IIRC...

[Oslo]

Didn't see that one coming! Well done, Dame.

You fight a fierce battle, DL. You will most definitely have the opportunity for revenge.

And thanks for reffing, RL.

[DarkestLight]

Well, I gotta make you guys sweat a little bit. All you guys are getting so damn good and all, I gotta step it up to keep my .500 average XD
