Kumori vs Skye (Ref: Grey)

[Kumori]

2vs2
DQ Time: 1 week
Banned: OHKO, Perish Song, Destiny Bond, Rest, Attract, Toxic
Abilities are off.

Arena: Outside a strange-looking abandoned shack in the middle of nowhere.

I'll send first, and Skye attacks first.

Here goes, Ash!

Ash | Male

[Skye]

Zen doesn't have any experience outside of the SZ so... Let's lead with her!

[Zen]
Mienfoo ♀

Lead off with a Taunt, go with a Swords Dance and end with a Poison Jab. In the event of a Protect/Detect or the target is unreachable, go with another Swords Dance.

[Kumori]

We don't want the Taunt but we don't want the Swords Dance. Go for a Double Team, then a Reflect to block the physical damage. If you're slower than Zen, use Flame Charge, but if not, use Fire Fang.

Double Team ~ Reflect ~ Flame Charge/Fire Fang

Round ONE
We welcome our two battlers, both recently approved trainers eager to show off their talents. Kumori, who initiated the challenge, summons her growlithe, Ash, to start us off. Skye, meanwhile, goes with a calm mienfoo named Zen. Ash starts the battle off and attempts to create an illusion for his opponent. Zen, however, has a different motive and starts telling Ash that he's flea infested and that his favorite show is probably Jersey Shore. Ash takes great offense to the remarks and says "eff it" to his commands, and instead tackles the fighter.

Ash ~ Taunted, -3PP // -5HP, -2PP ~ Zen

But the attacks don't stop there, no-no. While Ash is on top of his bipedal foe, he starts chomping down fiercely. Zen doesn't much like this at all, and throws the pup off of her after several moments of frustration. Finally at ease, she closes her eyes and dances around the arena until her strength piles up.

Ash ~ Taunted, -3PP // -5HP, +2 Atk, -5PP ~ Zen

Zen then races at the fire pup with her right hook covered in slimy poisonous sludge. Ash is still angry, and begins wrapping himself up in a fiery aura. The two collide, and deal their respective damage as Ash barely avoids getting poisoned. Lucky break.

Ash ~ -3PP, -9HP, +1 Spd // -5HP, -6PP ~ Zen


Ref Notes:
~Poison Jab roll: 32 (1 - 30 = poison).~
~Kumori attacks first.~

Round TWO
Feeling a bit embarressed over his first impression, Ash is ready to buckle down and make everything come up Milhouse. With great concentration, Ash creates a protective barrier to keep himself protected from strong physical attacks. However, just as quickly as it comes up does it shatter as Zen pierces it with her swift fists, clobbering Ash with the follow throughh.

Ash ~ -5PP, Reflect activated, Reflect shattered, -4HP // -4PP ~ Zen

Well, that was certainly a bust. Ash wimpers for a moment, but looks to the bright side of things as the sun flashes brilliantly. Zen shields her eyes from the radience, but ultimately pays it no mind as she hurls a collection of rocks at the fire hound.

Ash ~ -5PP, Sunny Day activated, -14HP // -5PP ~ Zen
Sunny Day ~ 8 actions

What's with all this violence, Ash would probably wonder if he could. He gives Zen quite a melting smirk as if trying to woo her into a false sense of security, but... oh, I know that look! He's trying to seduce her! Not on my watch, no way! I blow my referee's whistle and stop that noise post haste! Ash sighs, and gives up trying to make up for his poor fist impression. Zen, meanwhile, has already quadrupled Ash's audience in the meantime.

Ash ~ Nooope! // +4 Clones, -6PP ~ Zen
Sunny Day ~ 7 actions


Ref Notes:
~While Sunny Day is in effect, all fire-type attacks will deal 50% more damage while all water-type attacks will deal 50% less; weather-based healing moves will be 50% stronger; Solar Beam can be fired instantly; pokémon cannot be frozen.~

Round THREE
Swiftly, Ash gazes at the sweet sunlight, recovering a vast amount of health just before Zen starts with the name calling again. Feeling revitalized, Ash gets angry...

Ash ~ +22HP, -10PP, Taunted // -2PP ~ Zen
Sunny Day ~ 6 actions

...and immediately charges at Zen once more, damning her own orders. Zen takes the pummelling quite well considering one of her clones took the hit, and retaliates with a swift right hook that drains away some of the health Ash just recovered.

Ash ~ -5PP, -8HP, Taunted // +4HP, -5PP, -1 Clone ~ Zen
Sunny Day ~ 5 actions

With his rage still untempered, Ash unleashes a fierce firestar that crawls across the field and obliterates two of the remaining mienfoo clones, leaving Zen with just one. She doesn't seem too worried, however, and strikes back with another rock slide.

Ash ~ -10PP, -14HP // -5PP, -2 Clones ~ Zen
Sunny Day ~ 4 actions

Round FOUR
Ash, feeling very perturbed, spits out a fierce fire chain that crawls along the air, wrapping around Zen (who hadn't been paying attention -- summoning rain and all) and causing great damage. Zen shakes it off, and a sudden downpour starts begins, much to Ash's discomfort.

Ash ~ -9PP // Rain Dance activated, -7PP, -1 Clone, -18HP ~ Zen
Rain Dance ~ 8 actions

Ash summons another firestar, but the rain manages to diminish it strongly. Zen takes the hit gracefully, and retaliates with another rock slide.

Ash ~ -9PP, -14HP // -5PP, -6HP ~ Zen
Rain Dance ~ 7 actions

And then it happens again...

Ash ~ -9PP, -14HP // -5PP, -6HP ~ Zen
Rain Dance ~ 6 actions


Ref Notes:
~While Rain Dance is in effect, all water-type attacks will deal 50% more damage while all fire-type attacks will deal 50% less; weather-based healing moves will be 50% weaker; Solar Beam will take two actions to charge; Thunder will not miss.~
~Skye attacks first.~

[Kumori]

Well, that may have been a bit awkward, but it could've been worse.

Use Reflect, followed by Sunny Day and then finish with Attract. If you get taunted, use Iron Tail, Iron Head and then go for a Body Slam.
Reflect/Iron Tail ~ Sunny Day/Iron Head ~ Attract/Body Slam

[Skye]

Brick Break on through the Reflect, follow with Rock Slide. For the third... Attract is a banned move, so assuming that it won't be used at all, go with Double Team. If Attract, though it's banned, comes through (I really don't know how that works), respond with another Taunt.

Brick Break through Reflect - Rock Slide - Double Team/Taunt

[Kumori]

Aww dammit I forgot it was banned XD Trust me to do that, even when it was my rule XDDD

[Skye]

We'll go with a Taunt as soon as you can, then finish with Drain Punch followed by Rock Slide. If Ash Protects, go for a Feint.

Taunt/Feint - Taunt/Drain Punch/Feint- Taunt/Rock Slide/Feint

[Kumori]

Go for a Morning Sun before you get Taunted, then use Double Team and finish up with Fire Blast.

Morning Blast ~ Double Team ~ Fire Blast

[Kumori]

I am an amazing idiot. I've never been so bad at this. Try and spread a Fire Blast to hit Zen and the last clone, but if they're too far away, hit one of them with a Fire Fang. Spam Fire Blast and see where it gets you, anyway.

Fire Blast@Zen&Clone/Fire Fang ~ Fire Blast ~ Fire Blast

[Skye]

Rain Dance, followed by two more Rock Slides.

[Skye]

Go for Force Palm, Rock Slide, and another Force Palm.

Note - posted in the Absence Tower in case I vanish for a couple of days in the near future.

[Kumori]

Hit up with a Sunny Day, then follow with two Fire Blasts. If your HP gets below 10, go for a Morning Sun.

Sunny Day ~ Fire Blast ~ Fire Blast
Sub: Morning Sun

[Kumori]

Hello? Grey? Ish anyone thar?

[Kumori]

Use a Morning Sun, then spam Fire Blast until one of you falls.

Morning Sun ~ Fire Blast ~ Fire Blast

[Skye]

Combine Fake Out and Drain Punch. That should be plenty to take Ash out quickly. If he's still around, Rock Slide from close distance to bring him down.

Fake Out + Drain Punch ~ Rock Slide

[Kumori]

Let's bring in Hecate, my female Froslass with Snow Cloak.

[Skye]

Let's put as much damage on this one as possible. Go with Rock Slide, then Payback, then another Rock Slide.

[Kumori]

Triple Psychic and try to evade these attacks.

Psychic x3

[Kumori]

The Hell? Why isn't he down yet? Keep spamming Psychic :< If Zen uses Rock Slide, use Double Team. Also Snatch all that is Snatchable.

Psychic x3
Subs: Double Team & Snatch

[Skye]

Give this last round all you've got. Speed yourself up with a Fake Out and hit her with Payback and Poison Jab. Should work since she hasn't seen your Fake Out at all yet. :3

Payback+Poison Jab+Fake Out
