Gym Battle: Blademaster VS. The Missing Link (Subref: DarkestLight)

[Blademaster]

That's right... I'm stepping up to try and win a Gym Badge from the legendary Missing Link herself.

You're the Gym Leader, Bec, so I guess you make the rules; I'll be waiting for a reply.
Dear sweet God, I'm going to die... ;_;

-Blade

[The_Missing_Link]

Why exactly am I scary? I'm just like any other battler, except with more experience than most


Arena: The White Room

Trainers and Pokemon are transported into what looks like a large, sterile white room with a grass floor. When Pokemon use attacks that bypass an opponent, instead of leaving a mark or residue on the ground, it immediately dissolves. So if a Pokemon uses Toxic and it misses, it will get sucked up by the ground instead of lingering around. Ground attacks do a restricted amount of damage due to the depth of the soil underneath. Attacks involving rocks are completely useless since no rocks exist underneath the grass. The only attack involving the ground that will work to its fullest potential is Dig.

Every three rounds (starting with Round 3), the ceiling of the room will open up to reveal one of four things: a clear sky, rain, hail, or the sun. What appears is purely random and at the end of the round, the ceiling will close again until Round 6 rolls around. This will not reset when new Pokemon are used so if a fresh Pokemon comes out on Round 24, the ceiling will still open. If a Pokemon gets caught outside of the room, a Xatu will appear to teleport them back in but at a cost of 10% health.


This will be a 4 on 4. The DQ time is one week and I will send out first. However, we cannot use Pokemon that have a direct type advantage over the other so if I use a grass Pokemon, you can't use a fire or ice Pokemon. The Pokemon can have moves that are super effective against the opponent but type advantage is barred

Banned Moves: Rest, substitute, healing moves that don't damage (that includes status healers), perish song, spite, destiny bond, attract

Also, relax and sub moves are restricted. You can use relax up to three times per Pokemon and you can only sub one move per round



Ok, now that that's done, we'll begin. I'll start out with Orion (male Scizor)

[Blademaster]

Why?

I'm just like any other battler, except with more experience than most

That's why.

A Scizor, eh? Then I'll fight fire with fire...

And Steel with Steel! Go, Grodus!

(tosses Pokeball; a blue-silver disk with claws and red eyes emerges)

"Metang..."

OK, Sir Grodus, start off with Iron Defense, then use Brick Break and end up with a Meteor Mash.

Move: Iron Defense, Brick Break, Meteor Mash

[The_Missing_Link]

If he wants to raise his defense, we'll raise our attack. Use swords dance and then counter on the brick break. Then get up into the air and use silver wind

Swords Dance~Counter~Silver Wind

[darktyranitar]

Hmmmmmm......

Eh, sure. Why not? I don't think reffing a gym battle is going to destroy me in my exam.

No worries, the ref's here! *put the "special" tags on* Ehhh... if you wanna put my "special" ref nickname on the topic, then go ahead, Blade.

Ain't I fearless... or is it stupid? Oh well... you're cool, Becca.... cool...

I've already worked on the reffing, so its should be up soon, I swear. And don't worry, Blade; I now take less time than usual to work on reffing .

[Blademaster]

Heh... thank God for you, Faiz. Again, that's three of my matches you've saved.

[darktyranitar]

No prob, bro. Hehe, I like to see that my nick's there!

Okay, here goes!

Round One~ Begin!

The usual introduction to rules and stuffs ensues… and the battle begins! TML released her Scizor, Orion, while Blademaster chose his Metang, Grodus.

Grodus started off by casting a wall of Iron Defence around him, increasing his defence dramatically. On the opposing site, Orion began to spin around, increasing his attack dramatically.

It was Grodus’s turn again to do the first strike, swinging one of his arms like a karate master would. With little effort, Orion blocked the swing with one pincer, and then swinging Grodus with both arm next; a successful counterattack (6% damage).

Grodus’s hands then glowed with a bright, steely hue as he began charging them with his steel power. With a mighty heave, he thrust them both forward… only to meet the air. He looked up, and was met with a silvery wind of bug energy from Orion (5% damage). Grodus grumbled in his metallic voice; he was definitely not very happy with how thing went with the first round.

Look good as new.

[The_Missing_Link]

Go for a agility + fury cutter combo then use silver wind

Counter when necessary


Agility + Fury Cutter~Silver Wind

[Blademaster]

OK, Grodus, let's approach this methodically...

If I've interpreted our gracious hostess' rules correctly, then Counter will replace her first attack - in this case, her first two attacks - if we strike Physically, and with the restriction of sub moves to one per round, Orion will be left helpless for at least one round.

So, screw up her combo by forcing a Counter with Fury Cutter - you can shake off a Countered Fury Cutter no problem. Then, while Orion tries to figure out a counterattack, hit him with an Earthquake. End the round by zooming through that Silver Wind and socking him with a Dynamicpunch.

If we screw up the timing and Orion gets off an attack first, then substitute Thunderpunch for Fury Cutter.

Move: Fury Cutter, Earthquake, Dynamicpunch
Sub: Thunderpunch, -----------, ---------------


EDIT: If you're watching this match, Chris, I'm NOT trying to influence the ref - I'm merely trying to explain my moves in an understandable way, since Becca's commands were... well, kinda vague.

[The_Missing_Link]

My one sub move per round means that people can't say, "Use safeguard if they use a status attack and shockwave if they don't use melee attacks"

Orion can use Counter all round if it applies (not sure about earthquake since it's a debatable attack)

[Blademaster]

Ah, I see - I wasn't sure if 'one counter per round' meant 'one counter' or 'one attack.'

Well, now I know better for later.

[darktyranitar]

Okay, so then Orion would score something like... 2 counter in this round? (I believe Earthquake is un-counterable) And would Grodus use a Fury Cutter then?

I'm just trying to get some clarification.

[Knight of Time]

Sorry to interrupt this gym battle, but when it comes to Earthquake, it's definitely un-Counterable (Mirror Coat doesn't work either with Earthquake as far as I know), I mean, this move involves no physical contact with the opponent, nor is it in a non-solid "beam" form that can be Mirror Coated, like Ice Beam or Flamethrower.

If you guys want an example of Counter failing against Earthquake, you're welcome to check out the battle I had with Dark Dragonite, when we were on our second Pokemon.

[The_Missing_Link]

Okay, so then Orion would score something like... 2 counter in this round? (I believe Earthquake is un-counterable) And would Grodus use a Fury Cutter then?

I'm just trying to get some clarification.

Honestly, it depends. Orion could pull off the combo before Grodus uses fury cutter or he could counter it

Not trying to pull you to my side but that's how I see it. After I saw Blade post I knew this round would cause trouble

[Blademaster]

OK, let's keep this simple:

If Grodus strikes first, his moves are Fury Cutter, Earthquake, and Dynamicpunch.
So, subsequently, Orion's moves would be Counter, ??????, and Counter.

If Orion strikes first, his moves are Agility/Fury Cutter and then Silver Wind.
Therefore, Grodus' moves would become Thunderpunch, Earthquake, and Dynamicpunch.

That's my interpretation, anyway; if I'm right, that leaves us with two options:

1. Figure out if Orion's second attack would be his combo, Silver Wind, or nothing at all.
2. Just forget it and redo attacks.

Becca's the Gym Leader - it's her call.

[darktyranitar]

I think I'll wait and see if there is any redo to be made before I work on the reffing.

[darktyranitar]

Back. Sorry for the hold-up, but as you can see, I've been busy these days. Expect the next update a lot more slower than this. But no worry; I'll still be sticking with this.

Round Two~ Begin!

All right, let’s get thing moving again…

The two went at each other, but being heavy put Grodus at a slight disadvantage when it comes to speed. Orion struck first, slashing away at Grodus (5% damage). Grodus grunted as he began charging his hands with electricity, and after finding an opening in the Fury Cutter, he delivered the punch (7% damage).

Grodus was fast to give an Earthquake attack, but he was soon disappointed to find that the soft ground didn’t really help much in amplifying the attack (9% damage). Orion was a bit shaken up, but nevertheless sends off a gust of silvery bug energy (6% damage).

And then Grodus came with a Dynamic Punch, but as Orion have used up the three attacks quota in one round, then he was powerless to defend against the powerful fighting attack (10% damage). Alas…

Round Three~ Begin!

Grodus whirred, closing his eyes as he suddenly became very still. He suddenly rolled his eyes up, his mouth slightly opened. It appeared that Orion wasn’t even one bit intimidated of this tactic- because his eyes were tightly closed. Grodus was then smacked by a Silver Wind from the eyes-closed Orion (6% damage).

Hands charged up with electricity, Grodus charged forward the seemingly unaware Orion. Calmly, Orion dodged to the side, creating five copies of him during the process. Grodus didn’t have enough time to change target, resulting in the crash into one of the clones. One down, five more to go.

Grodus looked around as he was ready for a Confusion; unfortunately, five Orion was a little bit… confusing for him. As he contemplated on his options, (the) Orion(s) used another Silver Wind (6% damage). Angered, Grodus chose one of the Orion and launched a small psychic blast towards it. It turned out to be a clone, much to his dismay.

Round Four~ Begin!

Orion started off my moving real fast across the field, and… well, since he has four clones right behind his tail, it now seems as if there was about a dozen of Orion dashing about the field. Orion(s) dashed around, until each one of them stopped, leaving only one to make his way towards Grodus.

Whoosh. Orion’s Metal Claw passed right through Grodus. Looking around, Orion then realized that he had fell for the Double Team trick.

5 VS 5… Orion whipped up a Silver Wind, and by chance, it hit the real Grodus, shattering all of his clones (6% damage). Slightly angered, Grodus fired off a barrage of star-shaped energy- a Swift attack- that without a doubt, managed to dispose Orion’s clones, dealing damage at him all the same (5% damage).

Back to one on one.

Unfortunately, Orion had once again used up his three attack in one turn quota, so he was once again hit by the mighty Dynamic Punch… (10% damage)

Round Five~ Begin!

It’s a new round, and both Grodus and Orion are now depleted of their raised up attack/defence… or so it seem at first. After an Iron Defense and a Sword Dance, all is restored, and both Pokemon are now even.

It was Orion who got offensive last turn, and now it was Grodus’s turn. He charged towards Orion, his claws charged up with electricity. Ironically, Orion followed Grodus’s way and go for the defensive, setting up a translucent barrier just in time before the Thunderpunch attack would make contact. A good Thunderpunch attack was wasted, and Orion was safe for now.

Giving no time for the Metang to recover, Orion leapt towards him, altogether stopping his concentration on the barrier. Grodus managed to thrust his claws at Orion’s rib just as Orion’s pincer was making its way to his horn. A loud clang resonated, and both Pokemon were thrown towards the ground. (6% damage to Grodus, 5% damage to Orion).

Light Screen can last a few actions to a few rounds. Since you seem to go by the game standards, I would assume you would have light screen up for a few more rounds. And perhaps you can up the damage because this is taking a real long time

Orion once again began to conjure up a silver whirlwind- the Silver Wind- but Grodus had a plan. Using a high-speed manoeuvre, he hooked his claws around Orion’s neck, avoiding the attack and strangling Orion altogether.

Orion was ready for another round of Silver Wind, but with Grodus’s claws around his neck, he didn’t have enough room to breathe, and much less the chance to perform a perfectly executed Silver Wind. Grodus took advantage by delivering two Brick Break attack at the back of Orion’s head (16% damage), while Orion wasted two Silver Wind attack that simply whirred around Grodus.

And to think that the Light Screen would help…

The new ref comes in through the wall, as she can see no other way in. Except for a very important note of she is jumping in on a pogo stick because she, er there was no other free phasers. All they had left was this pogo stick. So as she stops and pants the battlers get on with their matcharoo.

TML has issued very simple orders for Orion and he starts about them but again he finds himself strangled. Sir Grodus has zoomed around before Orion's attack could really get going. He clamps onto Orion's neck and Orion finds that his attack is much weakened, even though it is missing Sir Grodus completely.

Now Sir Grodus has a very nice shot at Orion. Orion can't get him off, though he is no longer being strangled. He whips up the attack, but once again is just goes around. It does minimal damage while Sir Grodus's does much more. He takes aim slams his fist into the back of Orion's head. Orion reels and clutches at his head with his claws. He stumbles about, Sir Grodus trying to stay on but finding it difficult.

Orion stops stumbling about and looks around. He blinks for a few seconds but thankfully remembers what he is to do. The whirlwind stirs up and Sir Grodus is right behind him getting minimal damage once more. He cocks his fist one final time and slams Orion right between the shoulder blades. Orion shouts and whirls, indignant and by now, quite beat up.
