Jelibean Man Vs Ash0011 REF Greyfox

[jelibean man]

Hey i am back on and just went through a million posts to work out what Pokemon i had so now with the hard work out of the way time to have some fun. looking for an opponent and an awesome ref to get the fun started. Opponent can make the rules if they want that is fine by me.

[Ash0011]

hmmmmm I have been tossing around some ideas for a rather interesting arena, but only if the ref says ok...

[Greyfox]

I'll ref. Post your ideas, Ash.

[Ash0011]

The Library of Grimoires

This great battlefield came to be one day simply because the grimoires were bored and wanted something to watch
it is an octagonal tower housing the magical tomes of the ages, and while you might approach the tomes you will never reach them due to some very slight and not at all alarming tampering with the space-time continuum(think endless staircase)
on top of this there have been many precautions setup to prevent magical leakage from the tomes, nevertheless the area is overloaded with magical energy that can cause strange things to happen
every 4 rounds or so there is a completely random effect that the ref can decide on including(but certainly not limited to) attack power doubled, space wraps around on itself, abilities change, reality breaking, ect.

so what do you think?

[jelibean man]

Sounds cool i'm in

[jelibean man]

title update

[nepence]

Jeli, if you want to update the title, edit the first post... Go advanced with it, and it will show the title.

[jelibean man]

[Ash0011]

I suppose rules, which I have none to add, so I guess I'll send first then,
Scyther
male
Slash
technician

[jelibean man]

Diglett
Female
Sand Force

who posts moves first? i haven't done this in a while and can't remember.

[Ash0011]

[jelibean man]

Then diglett
start with a Sandstorm
then use sand attack so he can't hit us back
finish with Earth Power lets take out his defences

[Ash0011]

not bad, alrighty then start off with a toxic follow it up with a rain dance to wash the sand out of your eyes and finish with an aerial ace to avoid the earth power and deal some damage

DIGLETT ♀ @Sandforce [IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] 100 [IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] 100 No status. - "Come at me, bro!" Sandstorm > Sand-attack > Earth Power	SLASH ♂ @Technician 100 [IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] 100 [IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] No status. - "I will!" Toxic > Rain Dance > Aerial Ace

	Round ONE
TOX -5PP	We find ourselves inside the massive Library of Grimoire--a battle arena of strange happenstances and even stranger battlers. Jelibean Man, a former trainer turned newcomer, releases their first pokémon to the floor, a speedy, unnamed diglett. Ash0011, the challenger, releases his own pokémon that hovers a few feet off the ground--Slash, the scyther. Being the quicker of the two pokémon, Slash immediately starts the battle by poisoning Diglett with a nasty splash of toxic. Diglett winces as the toxins slowly burn her body before she summons a nasty sandstorm to... do nothing, because you're inside a building. Welp.	-5PP
	THERE'S A SANDSTORM OUTSIDE
-2PP -1HP	Not sand! Slash, perhaps too anxious over hearing the words "sand" and "storm" together in the same breath, thinks fast and summons a rain cloud to wash away the sand. Phew, I was afraid we'd be goners for a second there. Diglett, suffering poison's nasty bite, smacks at Slash with a quick dust cloud, irritating the bug's eyes just enough.	-5PP -1ACC
	NOW IT'S RAINING; GOOD THING WE'RE INSIDE
-6PP -9HP -1HP	With the attackers doing seemingly everything in their power not to attack one another, the final act of the first round is underway. Slash lies in wait (probably because he can't see very well) as Diglett stamps the floor and sends a quivering tremble throughout the library. I'm sure it would've hurt real bad if Slash was grounded. The scyther, still hovering a few feet off the ground hears his cue and bolts towards Diglett, dealing swift damage with his sharp blades!	-5PP
	IT LOOKS SO MISERABLE OUT THERE

DIGLETT ♀ @Sandforce [IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] 089 [IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] 087 5% Tox - "Shouldn'ta done that!"	SLASH ♂ @Technician 100 [IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] 085 [IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] No status. -1 Acc "I came at you, bra."

Ref Notes:
~While under the effects of toxic poison, Diglett will take 1HP damage per action multiplied by the number of rounds it's been in play.~

	Round TWO
-1HP -5PP -9HP	The scyther gets into a defensive position as the unnamed diglett spits out a nasty poison of her own. Slash attempts to outmaneuver the sludge, but finds himself suffering it anyway as he quickly slashes at Diglett for light damage. Dodging doesn't work all the time, it would seem...	TOX -5PP
	...
-5PP -2HP -9HP	Slash shrugs off the poisons as they sink deeper and deeper into hsi frame. Diglett fires off a nasty cuss of rocks, which the scyther narrowly avoids before retaliating with another aerial ace. I'm noticing a pattern...	-5PP -1HP
	...
-5PP -2HP	Slash lies in wait once more as Diglett readies her next attack. With the sand in his eyes, seeing just when it's going to happen is a bit difficult. Diglett hurls (somehow) a volley of rocks as the mantismon, dealing heavy damage! As Slash is pummelled with earthy glory, he starts to forget just what he was supposed to do. Crap!	-14HP -1HP FLINCH!
	HEY, IT STOPPED!

	Round THREE
-2HP -2PP	Diglett puts on the cutest face she can muster, making Slash almost smitten. He remembers his trainers orders, however, and plops on the ground whilst closing his eyes (to get the sand out of them), revitalizing his spirits. However, once Diglett starts flirting sweetly in pokémon speak, all the cards are off the table. Feeling wonderfully healthy, he is now in love. Well, dang.	ATR -1HP -10PP +17HP +1 Acc
	...
-5PP -3HP	Taking advantage of her beau, Diglett fires off another nasty blast of rocks that still fail to boost her stats. Slash really wants to fight back, but the love is so difficult and paralyzes him. Oh well.	-9HP -2HP
	...
-5PP -3HP @Contrary	Letting his emotions run wild, Slash begins to feel unhappy with his lover. She fires off another volley of rocks to come toppling down upon him, and as much as he'd like to dance them away, his sweet moves are no match for the tumbling fury of mother earth. That is it! He is so done with her shit! As the third round comes to a close, both pokémon feel an undamaging surge pulse through their bodies as their abilities change completely. So strange!

	Round FOUR
-3HP -10HP -5PP	Finally rid of his infatuation with Diglett, Slash throws himself at her and cuts her in an x-shape. Take about your harsh break-ups! Diglett retaliates by summoning a terrible sandstorm. Outside. Because we clearly haven't forgotten that we're indoors in this battle.	-2HP -5PP
	What's going on outside? Sandstorm? Oh...
-5PP -9HP FLINCH! -4HP	The scyther leaps back and cuts at the air, sending a blade of wind to slash at Diglett, causing her to completely lose her focus. What whas happening again?	-5PP -3HP
	...
-3PP -10HP -4HP	Slash keeps the slashing coming as he jumps into Diglett once more and strikes with a nasty cross. Diglett suddenly remembers her orders and flirts with the mantismon, causing him to stumble and relinquish his gains.	-2 Atk -5PP -3HP

[Ash0011]

hmm forgot about the building classification… I mean the library is magic (and huge), either way slash let's go for an aerial ace spam to dodge status moves and deal damage (aerial ace is like the best with technician)

[jelibean man]

I will use Toxic to even the playing field
Then i will use Ancient Power to hopefully pack a punch while bumping up me stats
and finally i will use Rock Slide

Also i can't see anywhere that says that Aerial Ace causes attacks to miss so can i please have a quick run down on how aerial ace works and what attacks will not hit because of it

[Greyfox]

Attacks like Aerial Ace and Agility have been used in the anime to dodge attacks every now and again. But Aerial Ace didn't cause your attack to miss -- Scyther being part flying-type did. Flying is immune to ground, remember?

[jelibean man]

lol i totally read that wrong

[jelibean man]

Good job Diglett now we need to try and stop those areal aces so start with an Attract
then Use Ancient Power again
Finally another Rock Slide

[Ash0011]

hmm so you want to play like that… while diglett tries to get your attention turn around and clear out your eyes (I guess Roost if applicable?) follow up with a facade to deal some damage and end with a swords dance to dodge the rock slide

[jelibean man]

Just asking but how many Pokemon are we each sending

[Ash0011]

huh thought you said two… I'm good with 1-4 if you want to choose

[jelibean man]

2 is fine with me

[Ash0011]

well that went relatively ok, use X-scissor, air slash, X-scissor if they use rock tomb, rock slide, or ancientpower avoid it with agility

[jelibean man]

Digglet use Sandstorm, Sludge Bomb, Captivate.

[jelibean man]

Rest - Sleep talk (if awake use rock slide) - Rock slide (if asleep use sleep talk)

[Ash0011]

quick attack+X-scissor+bug buzz combo

[Ash0011]

wait, even if an increased priority move is used? because that defeats the purpose of like 50+% of combos, sigh I wish there was a list of things each ref does, it would make this so much easier

either way hit diglett with three facades

[Greyfox]

Your combo was 3 attacks, thus the priority was -2. Then you added in Quick-attack, which brought it to -1. Not only that, but Diglett was using Rest, which starts almost immediately. It was much faster for Diglett to rest than it was for Slash to combine three attacks together into one super-attack.

[Ash0011]

well, yes but I belive you are the only ref that does that, most allow you to forego your other actions in order to combo damaging moves with quick moves to preempt an opponent, your way removes this in exchange for energy gain on turns used in the combo(does that mean I can do a combo and normal actions?) however your way also allows for a +4 priority attack so...
edit; protect is +4 priority itself, soo provided poke is faster said combo could preempt protect

[Greyfox]

1 - Every ref is different, Ash, you know this. I ref combo moves differently than everyone else because this is what I believe makes the most sense. It costs more energy to use moves in a combo, but you gain the excess energy lost back in the requisite actions anyway.
2 - The only moves that have higher priority than Protect and its clones are Pursuit (only when used against switching pokémon) and Helping Hand (which fails in single battles and is used on your allies).

[jelibean man]

i am so confused i don't get this combo thing at all.
Anyway if Asleep use sleeptalk, if awake use rockslide

[Ash0011]

yes but a combo of 3 extremespeeds would be a +4
and I know the refs have different styles but I thought there were established rules about combos (also I think this might be the first time I've had you as a ref)

[jelibean man]

i send out my Mismagus (Male) with Levitate.
Mismangus use confuse ray then hex followed by power gem

[Ash0011]

aerial ace to dodge the ray, bug buzz to break concentration on hex, aerial ace to dodge gem

[jelibean man]

i'll be away from the 31st till about the 10th Jan i may be able to post still but at times i might not so there may by a delay in my response times please bare with me for this time

[Ash0011]

dark pulse, crunch, dark pulse if he tries a status move use taunt
