Pillars of Heaven and Hell Battle! Oslo v. DL (Ref: Grey)

[Greyfox]

I wanna try out a new reffing style, so I'm inviting people to come battle in my former Elite 4 arena. It's gonna be a standard 3-on-3, with the the first signer-upper deciding who releases and attacks first.

The Pillars of Heaven and Hell
A desolate, dry wasteland that extends for miles. On either side of the arena are two pillars -- one that heals you, and one that slowly drains the life out of you. Destroying your opponent's pillars means two things: you drain their health faster, and you recover your own. These four pillars have their own HP (which is up to ref discretion), and can be destroyed by powerful attacks. Because the arena is so dry, weather changing is impermissible.

[Oslo]

Alright, I'll take this since nobody else seems to be biting.

I'll release first. Luftballon, my male Weezing with Levitate, I choose you!

My opponent will release and attack first.

[DarkestLight]

LOL @ seaweed pic

I'll bite :O

Uhhh who haz I? I haz...Bebop! My Armaldo with Battle Armor (holy hell I havent used you in years)

Uhh so what can you do again?

Bebop: -.- Malll

Calm DOWN. I'm kidding. So uhh balloonz. Hit at it with uhh

Smack Down~Smack Down~Aerial Ace

[Oslo]

This didn't go quite as I'd hoped, but I'll make the best of it.

Okay, Luftballon Jaqen, begin with Swords Dance. Follow that up by dodging that Smack Down with an Aerial Ace and striking. Finish with Counter.

	Round ONE
+2Atk -6PP -6HP	Welcome to the Pillars of Heaven and Hell, a former arena of the greatest Elite 4 member that still frequents the forums. Who is also super intelligent, handsome, and has a way with the ladies! Joining us here today are two fantastic trainers who are less intelligent, handsome, and not so blessed with their preferred genders -- DarkestLight and Oslo. The two trainers bow to one another before Oslo releases his first pokémon with a very telegraphable winking motion. It's a floating weezing... maybe. DarkestLight shrugs it off and releases (Cowboy) Bebop, a seldom-seen prehistoric pokémon with a knack for getting into trouble. The two trainers call out their attacks and the battle begins! Luftballoon starts things off nicely by dancing around in a circle and adding a +2 to his attack power. I wasn't even aware weezing could do that, but the trainer Oslo is full of surprises. Bebop doesn't seem to be phased by the haberdashery, however, and instead retaliates by summoning a large cluster of rocks to tumble down upon the poison pokémon, dealing nice damage and... what's this!?, revealing Luftballoon's true form, Jaqen the zoroark! I am shocked! Literally shocked!	-3PP

-4PP	With Bebop dumbfounded that his first opponent is now a different opponent, he thinks hard about his strategy. And ultimately decides to do the exact same thing he just did! But oh no!, Jaqen is swift and evades the tumbling rocks this time before crashing into his foe with a cunning swiftness!	-3PP -8HP
	PILLARS UNDAMAGED
-6HP -6PP	Oh yeah? Well two can play at that game, Bebop probably says (I don't know what "Armaaaaldo-mald" means, and I refuse to buy a dictionary). The sterling bug pokémon charges at Jaqen with a fierce intensity that can only be matched by an equally horrible counter atta--oh shit, that just happened!	-11HP -4PP

Thanks! I had to send myself a copy of the template so I didn't hafta remember how I coded it. Tables are annoyingly difficult to get right every time.

	Round TWO
TOX -4PP	Despite being much faster than his opponent, Jaqen lies in wait and focuses his dark energies on revenge. Bebop uses this opportunity and spits a sorta gooey gross poison into Jaqen's face! Grooooss! Jaqen immediately retaliates with a fierce payback technique! What a whallop!	-5PP -12HP
	PILLARS UNDAMAGED
-4PP -1HP	The cunning zoroark continues this bold strategy, waiting for Bebop to... do nothing at all. That's not gonna work at all, Cotton! Clearly what your trainer should've said was "Don't use Focus Punch, use something that you actually know." That would've made a lot more sense. Feeling sorry for his opponent, Jaqen goes easy.	-7HP

	Round THREE
-7HP -6PP -1HP	Jaqen once again plays the waiting game as Bebop finally uses an attack he knows how to use (it's a good thing ORAS came out or this'd be a bust too!). A blast of water shoots out of the bug pokémon's mouth, dealing incredible damage to the trickster. Jaqen shrugs off the water blast and responds in kind with a spell of the same flavor. Yay for pokémon physics!	-4PP -11HP

-3PP -2HP	Bebop fires off a series of tiny insects that sail towards Jaqen's general area. I say general area because we're not really sure just where that crafty werewolf went.

	Round FOUR
-5PP -2HP	Jaqen notes Bebop taking aim at his Heaven Pillar and waits as the armaldo charges towards it with an aqua stream. As Bebop gets closer and closer towards the pillar, he begins to glow a dim white. However, before he can reach his destination, Jaqen holds out his leg and trips the bug up, dealing... really light damage for some reason. Wait, how heavy is Bebop again? Bebop shrugs it off and continues to shoot towards the pillar before slamming into it completely, destroying it outright. Nice work!	-24PP -8HP

	Round FIVE
-10HP -19PP -3HP	Moderator DL recalls Bebop and replaces him with a fully-evolved pokémon that clearly can't evolve anymore named Comar Faust. The marowak, given to him by yours truly, shows off his battle willingness by firing off a nasty beam of earth power! Jaqen, however, is not focused on his new opponent and instead takes aim at Team DL's Heaven Pillar. The crafty lupine uses his poisons to give him strength as he leaps towards the Heaven Pillar and defeats it with a series of slashes and punches! Way to go!	-6PP

[Oslo]

I like the new reffing template, Grey. You space the tables better than I do. I should look into tweaking mine.

Anyway, Jaqen, his Armaldo really threw a wrench in our plan, but we'll do what we can. Here's what you're gonna do:

Wait for his first move

and then use Payback

and then wait for his second move

and then use Payback

and then wait for his third move

and then

(hold up guys this is gonna be good)

use... Payback.

[/brilliant strategy]

Snatch what you can barring Rest.

[DarkestLight]

Interesting. I had a feeling something was off, who the hell starts with Weezing, lol.

Now then.

Yeah, Helps that your sprites are the same size too. I'm assuming its how you create your HP/Energy bars as the max size and everything else falls in place there? Nothing extends past those boundaries. Interesting...

Enough Ref introspection. TIME FOR BATTLE.

The big Payback huh. Well, the fool gon' LEARN today!

Toxic so you can have fun with that, I'll eat that hit. Then Focus Punch--Say whaaa!!!

Then Focus Punch again..but to his healing pillar Say whaaaaa agaaaain!

Toxic~Focus Punch(Jaqen)~Focus Punch (His life pillar)

[Oslo]

Start by Copycating that Brine. Then use Feint Attack to dodge that Struggle Bug and strike. Finish by Copycating the Ancient Power.

[Oslo]

Low Kick, Night Slash, Low Kick. If he tries to Rest, stop him with Roar. Snatch what you can, barring Rest.

[DarkestLight]
