Gym Match: Chaos Redefined vs. Weasel Overlord (Ref: Greyfox)

[chaos_redefined]

I am challenging you to a gym match.

[Weasel Overlord]

Shazamming. Here be me gym.

Arena: The Firefly

The battle take place in the silent world of space and both opponents start on the surface of the Firefly class ship, Serenity. Trainers are provided with space suits, and Pokemon with an indestructible, blue-tinged bubble of oxygen about their heads at all times.

While they are in contact with the ship’s surface, gravity holds, but as soon as they leave the surface, whether to jump in the air, or to dodge an attack, gravity takes a vacation and the Pokemon may go floating off into space. Luckily, there are handy space-Pokemon who will fetch back any Pokemon who does find himself flying away, bringing it back down to the surface with a penalty of 5(%) health lost through pure terror at the freefalling and lack of gravity.

Every sixth turn, the referee rolls a dice to determine whether Serenity is on the run from the Alliance, with a 30% chance of this being true. If this happens, all participants must use a full turn to hold on for dear life, lest they be lost in the depths of space. During this lost turn, however, each Pokemon regains 20(%) energy, as a result of sitting still and performing no moves.

The top of the Serenity is an uneven place, looking like this. Pokemon can move about the top of the ship at will, and even down the sides if they please, because of the built-in surface gravity field.

Rules.

*As space is a singularly noiseless place, no sound-based attacks will work.
*The same goes for weather moves, as there is obviously no weather in space.
*If a Pokemon loses contact with the surface of Serenity, they will be automatically transported back by one of the referee’s Pokemon, and lose 5(%) health.
*Each Pokemon may only use Double Team once, and instead of its normal lasting time, it will only last one turn, as the clones have no gravity to stop them floating off into space.
*Toxic may not be used, and any powder-based moves have a higher likelihood of failure (70%) due to it being easier for them to disperse.
*Also, Serenity may not be damaged in any way, as this would injure the crew inside.

You send first, I attack first. Two weeks DQ, cos I is a forgetful mofo.
EDIT: SEE I TOLD YOU I WAS FORGETFUL. 2v2.

SHADOW CLAW : DOUBLE HIT : AGILITY

ROUND ONE
The man who single-handedly redefined the word chaos stands patiently in the brig of the space-pirate ship, staring at the viewing screen, as did the gym leader, Sal. On the viewing screen was two small pokemon dressed up in special spacesuits that allowed them to survive in the coldest, deepest layers of space. They were also equipped with special walkie-talkies so they could hear what their trainers commanded.

The first round commences with Thom Yorke, Sal's agile ambipom, shooting himself forward with dark energy escaping his fists [and, 'ya know, the spacesuit]. The dark energy collides with the tiny spark-plug pokemon (-7% Elekid / -6% T. Yorke). Elekid retalliates by snapping his fingers, sending a shivering jolt of electricity down the monkey's spine (+25% Paralysis T. Yorke / -4% Elekid).

With his speed drastically hindered, Thom is forced to endure Elekid's next attack. But as the elekid screams as loud as he could possibly scream, no one would ever know he was doing so (-2% Elekid). Thom blinked twice before attempting to react, but his body seized, rendering him unable to attack (+5% T. Yorke).

Embarressed, Elekid decides to lunge at his foe with furious anger, bashing the monkey pokemon with his outstretched fist for great damage (-11% T. Yorke / -6% Elekid). Thom sails backward for a few feet before picking himself back up and darting around his adversary, gathering back some lost speed (+20% Speed T. Yorke / -5% T. Yorke).

FAKE OUT : COUNTER : GUNK SHOT

ROUND TWO
Elekid powers up for his next attack, but as he does so, Thom leaps forward before throwing his left tail close to him. The elekid yelps, and all his static energy dissipates as the ambipom's other tail bats him in the face (-4% Elekid / -3% T. Yorke).

Elekid shakes off the weak hit and lunges toward his foe with his arms crossed together. The ambipom merely waits stoicly. Elekid crashes harshly into the monkey-mon (-15% T. Yorke / -9% Elekid). Thom attempts to react, but his body refuses to let him do so once more (+5% T. Yorke).

Frustrated, Thom spews out a putrid pile of gunk that collides with the electric pokemon, dealing heavy damage (-12% Elekid / -10% T. Yorke). Elekid wipes the poisons from his body, and shoots off a bolt of electricity which collides with Thom vibrantly (-9% T. Yorke / -6% Elekid).

ROUND THREE
Wasting no time, Thom fires off a mass of deathly energy that wobbles through space for a few moments before colliding with the tiny sparkplug pokemon (-9% Elekid / -8% T. Yorke). Elekid sails back before pulling himself back together. He darts over to his foe and latches on, tossing him as high as he can (-8% T. Yorke / -4% Elekid). Thom flounders in the air for several seconds until an unclaimed space-mon hurls him back to the ship (-5% T. Yorke).

Slightly flustered, Thom blasts his foe with a series of stars that easily rip through the electric pokemon (-6% Elekid / -3% T. Yorke). Elekid responds with another toss, but Thom manages to stay with the ship this time around (-8% T. Yorke / -4% Elekid).

Elekid stands stoicly -- waiting for his chance to counterattack. The monkey's right paw surrounds itself in an icy block as its owner leaps over toward Elekid. With great force, Thom lets him have it succeeding in both freezing the sparkplug solid (-7% Elekid / -6% T. Yorke / 100% Frozen Elekid) and sending both him and his icy prison into the darkness. The same space-mon is still there, and sends him back to the ship, shattering a few bits of ice (-5% Elekid / -25% Ice). Elekid attempts to counterattack, but is unable to do so because of the ice (+5% Elekid).

ROUND FOUR
Frozen in the ice, Elekid can do nothing as Thom Yorke taunts him by slapping his ass with his two tails repeatedly (-2% T. Yorke / Elekid Taunted). Furious, the elekid child flares up his arm, managing to free himself from the ice (-75% Frozen Elekid). He flings himself toward the taunting monkeymon, giving him a swift punch to the jaw (-9% T. Yorke / -5% Elekid).

Yorke finds himself rethinking what he just did. However, Elekid comes in for another go, but just misses as Thom spastically flails overhead, smacking him in the back forefully (-6% Elekid / -4% T. Yorke). Getting tired, Elekid starts attacking the monkeymon continuously (-5% T. Yorke / -3% Elekid) before being blasted with the same paralysis that struck his opponent (+25% Paralysis Elekid / -6% T. Yorke).

[chaos_redefined]

Thunderbolt ~ Cross Chop ~ Thunderbolt

[Weasel Overlord]

Start with Fake Out, Thom, and then use Counter and finish with Gunk Shot!

[chaos_redefined]

Hmm... he takes extra damage if he goes aerial, huh? Start throwing it into space. (And I need to start checking earlier edition movelists.)

Seismic Toss ~ Seismic Toss ~ Counter
sub: if Thom gets paralyzed on the third round, replace Counter with another Seismic Toss.

[chaos_redefined]

Before I post, I just wanna check this...

Clearly you work statuses quite differently to everyone else. What is the difference between different percentages of frozen/paralysis?

[Greyfox]

Being frozen at 100% means you can't attack whatsoever. Each attack will slowly (5%) chip away the ice until it's completely gone. During such time, you'll have an N% chance of breaking out of the ice and attacking successfully.

Paralysis means that you'll have a 25% (or more, depending on how paralyzed) chance of failing to attack at all.

For both, every time you fail to attack, you regain 5% energy.

[chaos_redefined]

And do multiple freezing/paralyzing attacks stack the percentages? e.g. If I use thunderwave on Thom again, will he be paralyzed 50% (or something simlar)? If Thom freezes me, will I be reset to 100% frozen?

[chaos_redefined]

Try to melt the ice with Fire Punch. Then use Thunder Wave twice. If the first thunder wave proved that paralysis doesn't stack, instead use meditate. If he magiccoats/snatches on either action, replace that attack with cross chop.

Fire Punch ~ (Thunder Wave/Cross Chop) ~ (Thunder Wave/Meditate/Cross Chop)

[Weasel Overlord]

Let's start off with a Taunt, Thom. He can't do all those nasty counters if he HAS to attack now, can he? No siree. Then follow up with Aerial Ace to zip out of the way of that Thunder Wave, and finish with a Thunder Wave of your own.

~Taunt ~Aerial Ace (dodge the wave then attack) ~Thunder Wave

[chaos_redefined]

Bump for Weasel Overlord

[Weasel Overlord]

Start with Brick Break, then use Facade twice.

[chaos_redefined]

Cross Chop ~ Counter ~ Thunder Wave

Sub: If Thom gets paralyzed on the second move, replace it with Cross Chop

[chaos_redefined]

Oh.... The taunt counted rounds, not actions...

Cross Chop ~ Cross Chop ~ Cross chop

Sub: if tormented, and you used cross chop the action before, use Thunderbolt

[Weasel Overlord]

Start with Aerial Ace, nice and speedy, then if you've got any health left, Counter those Chops like there's no tomorrow!

~Aerial Ace ~Counter ~Counter

[chaos_redefined]

I'll send out Slimepot, my Grimer (male)

[chaos_redefined]

Bump for Weasel Overlord. Because you have the memory of a roll of dental floss. (As far as I know, dental floss doesn't remember anything.)

[DarkestLight]

Go Weesy! Show that whipper snapper who's boss ::Waves cane::

[Weasel Overlord]

Oops. Sorry guys, it was fake-Christmas on Sunday.

Pelagia, let's make a good start and use Rock Tomb to hem in that blob. Then use Rock Polish to up your speed, and finish with an Earth Power.

~Rock Tomb ~Rock Polish ~Earth Power

[chaos_redefined]

Taunt ~ Ice Punch ~ Ice Punch

[chaos_redefined]

Curse ~ Curse ~ Ice Punch

Sub: If Pelagia uses Earth Power, Disable it. Alternatively, if he freezes up on turn 1, replace the first curse with Disable. (Both of those should disable Earth Power)

[Weasel Overlord]

Well Pelagia, if he's going to just Curse and get all sloooooow you might as well take advantage. Start with a Wood Hammer to break out of that ice. Then use Earthquake. Finish with an Earth Power to take advantage of that sub order.

~Wood Hammer ~Earthquake ~Earth Power

[chaos_redefined]

Grey, wouldn't earthquake damage the ship, hence going against Weas's rules? At the very least, shaking the ship would have a decent chance of injuring the crew?

[Greyfox]

Not necessarily. The hull of a spaceship is meant to withstand a lot of pressure and shaking -- especially with artificial gravity and whatnot. The crew wouldn'tve felt much at all from an earthquake localized on the outside of the ship.

Notwithstanding, I see it as if the ship is actually invincible -- trying to damage it whatsoever would be fruitless.

[chaos_redefined]

Bump for weas.

[Greyfox]

Kirst?

[chaos_redefined]

She posted in the old absence tower here, but that was a while back. I'll try PMing her.

[Weasel Overlord]

Yeah, sorry guys. Illness then Christmas then moving back to Lancaster then New Year's do not make for an active Weaslor. Anywho, I'm back now, I do believe, so I'd better make up for lost time!

Pelagia, we had a pretty good round just then. Let's try and carry that on, and start with a Rock Tomb! Hopefully he'll get nice and trapped, so use a Rock Slide to pile more weight on top. Finish off with an Energy Ball, to hopefully connect and explode.

~Rock Tomb ~Rock Slide ~Energy Ball

[Weasel Overlord]

Okay, we discussed this and we're carrying on with the match. I do believe it's me to attack first, so here we go!

Astarte, begin with, let's see... Taunt, methinks. Then use Dark Pulse to try and pulse her out into space, and finish with a good old fashioned Flamethrower.

~Taunt ~Dark Pulse ~Flamethrower

[chaos_redefined]

Let him trap you, then Minimize and slip through the rocks. Then, Rest, and finish off by Sleep Talking.

Minimize ~ Rest ~ Sleep Talk

[chaos_redefined]

Bump for Greyfox
