[LADDER] MLG vs. Houndoom_Lover (Ref: Greyfox)

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I need a new opponent for a new ladder-match. Anyone up for it?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Anyone?

[Ayeun]

Isn't the ladder over?

[DarkestLight]

Oh naive little child. The ladder ends in June

[Ayeun]

So Im off by 4 days...

[DarkestLight]

June 30th >>

[Houndoom_Lover]

Fight me, MLG! *white glove smack* Lawl, I'll post pokemon and all the stuff people do in ASB after a nap!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Ok, the set rules are:

DQ: 72h (strictly!)
Number of pokemon: 3 (one out at a time)
All matches will have a damage cap of 50.
All non-damaging healing attacks are banned.
Abilities are not in effect for the duration of the ladder.
No Signature Moves
Also: There is a 20-round Cap. After the 20th Round has been reffed, the match immediately ends and is declared a draw if both trainers have a Pokemon left.

Aside from that, you can choose the arena, who goes first, etc

[Houndoom_Lover]

Holy crap, I just realized I forgot how to do this! Okay, I'll start out with my male Aron, we'll be in the Desert Dusk bowl, basically just a huuuuuge deep hole in the ground, random chance for Sunny Day or Sandstorm, the walls are smooth and unclimbable.

You can attack first!

[Greyfox]

Mind if I play ref?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Not at all.

Then I'll use Madarame Ikkaku, my male Tyranitar.

Mudslap! Then Dragondance, then Dynamicpunch.

If it uses Double Team, sub Dynamicpunch for Shockwave.
If it uses a statboost/decreaser, sub the move for Focuspunch.

[Greyfox]

Uh... H_L?

[Houndoom_Lover]

HHhmm, I seem to think time is going faster than normal :0! I thought yesterday was Friday all day long, sorry.

Aron, protect against that mudslap and use Iron Tail while he's Dragondacing. Then use dig to avoid the Dynamicpunch!

(Protect-Iron Tail-Dig)

Round 1/20
Melg meets his opponent in the dusty dunes. The sun is crawling high in the sky above as he grips onto his poke ball fiercely. Both trainers eye one another before tossing their respective poke balls to the sands below, releasing Ikkaku, a fierce-looking tyranitar, and a much tinier aron. Truly a David and Goliath match if you'd ever seen one.

Ikkaku wastes no time and spits at the ground several times, making mud out of the sands. He takes the mud in his right claw and charges at the metal mouse frantically. Aron doesn't look worried, however. *Wham*, Ikkaku slaps his right hand into Aron's protective barrier [ -3PP M. Ikkaku ], cracking it easily. Aron was unharmed [ -5PP Aron ].

Ikkaku is annoyed, but he keeps his cool. Rather than lashing out at the smaller foe, the hulking dinosaur gathers his thoughts and proceeds a meditating ritual of dance. The technique was learned by him as a young larvitar. As Aron watches his foe dance, he prepares to give him a sharp sneak attack. Ikkaku's spirits are lifted [ -5PP, +10% Atk, +10% Spd Ikkaku ] just in time for Aron to crush them again with a blunt bash with his small iron tail [ -15HP M. Ikkaku / -8PP Aron ].

Ikkaku's had it now, and strikes the tiny metal mouse quickly. With his heightened strength and speed, Aron has no chance to escape Ikkaku's fist [ -22HP, Con Aron / -10PP M. Ikkaku ]. Aron, now dazed, has no idea how to respond to his foe's attack and merely paws at the sands below, perhaps fearing for his life [ -2PP Aron ].

Round 2/20
Aron is still confused as the second round begins. Before he can even start his attack, he marvels at Ikkaku, who is barking out several naughty things to anger Aron. In a rage, Aron haults what he's doing immediately and throws his body forward, tackling the larger rock pokemon lightly [ -3HP, -2PP M. Ikkaku / -2PP Aron ] before skidding across the dune, about ten feet away.

Aron turns to face Ikkaku in order to start the process over. Ikkaku, however, is more calm about this than before. He begins focusing his energy into his balled up right fist, and just as Aron reaches him, he throws it forward, sending Aron high into the air [ -33HP Aron / -13PP M. Ikkaku ].

Aron struggles to his feet. He is in great pain, but shrugs it off as Ikkaku recharges his own strength. He charges back at Ikkaku with an attack in mind. As he dashes, his fighting energy comes out like an orange aura. He manages to ram into Ikkaku this time, dealing great damage [ -24HP M. Ikkaku / -10PP, -10% Atk, -10% Def Aron ]. Ikkaku turns to face his smaller foe, and snaps his fingers. This releases a small torrent of electric shocks at Aron, weak enough not to cause any damage, but strong enough to paralyze him [ Par Aron / -5PP M. Ikkaku ]. Aron's feet fail him, but he is no longer angry, at least.

Round 3/20
With Aron's rage subsided, he lies in wait. Ikkaku slams his fist forward, crushing into Aron's protective barrier, shattering it [ -8PP M. Ikkaku / -10PP Aron ]. With the first blow avoided, Aron is set up to absorb Ikkaku's next punch [ -17HP Aron / -5PP M. Ikkaku ].

Aron's eyes shined bright as he released a burst of metallic energy that nearly breaks the rock tyrannosaur [ -23HP M. Ikkaku / -13PP Aron ]. Ikkaku shrugs off the attack and hits Aron with another punch [ -17HP Aron / -5PP M. Ikkaku ]. Aron skids backward before retalliating with his steel tail [ -14HP M. Ikkaku / -6PP Aron ].

Round 4/20
Aron attempts to move out of the way of Ikkaku's strong punch, but his muscles lock up, making him an easy target. Ikkaku's strong right arm crashes down on the tiny steel mouse [ -11HP Aron / -5PP M. Ikkaku ], practically burying him in the sand, defeated.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Alright, Aron use Stealth Rock, and while he's dealing with that, Rock Polish yourself, and use Superpower

(Stealth Rock, Rock Polish, Superpower)

If he uses Earthquake, use Magnet Rise

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Taunt. Then Focuspunch. Finish with Thunderwave.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Ah, is it my turn...or MLGs?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Dynamicpunch, Brickbreak twice.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Oh, you sly dog you :0!

Protect from that Dynamicpunch, let the second Brickbreak hit you and met the second brickbreak with a Metal Burst and finish this round off with an Iron Tail

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Reminder for Grey.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Oh, just a bump. I got my battle face on! :0

[Houndoom_Lover]

Alright! That was a good round, Superpower, Iron Tail, Metal Burst!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Use your superior speed and finish it with Brickbreak.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Bumping for grey.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Righto- Let's a-go go Houndoom!

Mephistopheles! Male. I sent, MLGs attacks, yesh.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Taunt it. Then Whirlpool, finish with Stone Edge.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Ah! Taunt! That's okay :B I was planning to only attack! While he taunts you, use Swift, and Sucker Punch his Whirlpool, and Faint Attack outta the way of that Stone Edge.

[Greyfox]

Up for H_L.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Righto! Mephistopheles let's rock this with another Swift, follow the stars with a Faint attack and finish this off with a close range Iron Tail.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Focusblast. Then Giga Impact + Superpower.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

My next pokemon off choice will be Ichimaru Gin, my male Sableye. He's a beast. Rawr.

Confuse Ray. Then add to that confusion with Dynamicpunch, then confuse it even more with Waterpulse!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Houndy, I'm gonna have to DQ you. It seems asshole-ish, but the Ladder keeps to a strict 72hour DQ; and I already gave you a reminder.

I would love to battle you in a normal battle, though.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Oh rawr! DQ right now, was this already timed out. I'm sorry :0 I totally lost track of time. Can we pick up where we left off in normal battle, just unladder it? Derf, I remembered this morning at nine that we had a battle. Fuuuu- I feel awful that I forgot @w@ The days move so fast

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Well, we can't. But we can make up a special challenge, maybe a six on six all out at a time? Or anything else that you have in mind.

I'm just really keeping myself to the rules of the Ladder, which I think is important. (If mods wouldn't follow the rules, who would?)

So, let me ponder on creativity..
