[GYM] I challenge Ayeun!

[Gigya]

Quite some time ago I messaged you with this.
Figured now I have an open battle spot, I'd post this before either of us forgot.

It is your gym, so I'll let you set all of the rules.

[DarkestLight]

Ref

[Ayeun]

I will accept, but I am about to be away for 3 weeks without internet. Can you wait till I get back?

[Gigya]

That'd work perfectly, since I'm going to be moving soon and will frequent here less. Just wanted to make sure we both had this booked.

[DarkestLight]

Ok. So no ref til it starts. Yay

[Ayeun]

Well fuck it... Lap top works here.

New Gym:

Secret Garden!

Arena:

A secluded Chinese style garden, equipped with a pond, pagoda, bridges and rock paths.



Battle style:

Tournament style, Best out of 5 (subject to negotiation). Each team uses 1v1, and fight until one is defeated. The victor records a point, and both send out fresh combatants for the next round. This continues until the first team have 5 wins. Draws count as 0, so the match may go more than 9 combatants each. Pokemon that are recalled may not be used again in the gym.

After a battler is defeated, the VICTOR sends first, followed by the DEFEATED, who also ATTACKS first, despite the battle order previously.

Moves rules:

Rest and Pain split may only be used ONCE during the entire battle (Not per pokemon)! The move Ingrain will not work in the garden, but there are 5 (and ONLY 5) Ingrain roots already established, that any pokemon may grab on to at the cost of one action. Doing so grants that pokemon the benefit and drawback of Ingrain, and when that pokemon is defeated, the root retracts. Weather effecting moves will automatically fail to work, due to the fire suppression system, and abilities that affect the weather have no effect (eg: air lock and cloud nine).

Gym specials:

Fire suppression system, Ingrain bonuses (see above), Tournament style battle

Fire suppression system: A system implanted to protect the gardens. Has 6 settings. Starts at 0 (default).

0. No change. Battle acts as normal. The level of sun in this stage is equivalent to ‘Sunny day’.

1. Rain effect. Battle field under effect of Rain dance/Rain conditions.

2. Mist effect. Covers entire battle field.

3. Haze effect. Covers entire battle field.

4. Fog effect. Covers entire battle field in a thick layer of fog. Reduces accuracy by 50%.

5. Heavy Rain. Fire, ground and rock types take damage per turn. Solar beam takes an extra round to charge. Doubles the effect of Hydration, Water Dish, Swift Swim, and Dry skin. If thunder is used, its chance of being protected or Detected goes from 30% to 15%.

As stated above, weather moves, or abilities cannot be used, and attempting to use Defog during stages 2-4 will not removed the effect.

The system is activated AFTER any fire type move is used, and will go up one level for each fire type move used. It will remain at the setting it peaks at for 5 rounds, before defaulting down one level. This means that the first fire type move will still hit for normal damage, but subsequent moves will not. NOTE: The level's of the system STACK, so at level 3, you are also affected by level 2 AND level 1.

[Gigya]

Time to test Nobi's new strength.

[Gigya]

Bumping

[Ayeun]

You need some moves there chief...

[Oslo]

I wish I could have reffed this but I am jazzed to see you back in fighting form, Princess!

[DarkestLight]

You want it? I wouldn't mind dropping it?

[Ayeun]

Oslo or DL is fine by me. I'm home on Friday, so that's back to full time posting!

[Oslo]

Nah, I really shouldn't be lumping more onto my plate atm. D: Shame.

[DarkestLight]

No prob. Whenever I get attacks, it'll be up.

[Gigya]

I apparently got the order backwards, Ayeun. I thought it was Release, release, then your attack. My apologies.
Bug Bite, X-scissor, Bug Bite.

[Gigya]

Bumping for Ayeun

[Ayeun]

Start with a Toxic, then use Protect to avoid the Scissors. Finally, use Rock tomb, and finish the round.

[DarkestLight]

Let's dance.

Gymmie!

===Stipulations===

Arena: Secret Garden
First to 5

===Battlers===


===Round 1===

The onset of a sunny day like persona greets me as I walk back into familiar surroundings. It's not a person, yet it feels alive. Thriving with ability and focus. Yes, this is the Secret Garden, overflowing with flora and hidden fauna.

Gigya seeks to start his Gym Journey here, looking for Ayeun. And, there's the batshit crazy lady now-already doling orders to a nonexistant Pokemon. Or is it. Feeling fearful, Gigya quickly looks over the parameters for her Gym, and releases a newly evolved Ninjask in order to combat the invisible striker.

Nobi sees nothing, but hears a strange sound coming from the canopy. Suddenly, darkness! Nobi flutters in absolute confusion as the congealed substance hampers his eyes and nose. Blazing around in a circle, he was able to not only rip off the gunk, but spy the offending tail of the being that may have committed said act, and latch onto it with his buggy little mouth.

This caused the 'fern' that Nobi was latched onto to shake, and eventually snap Nobi free from its 'stalk'. Gigya looked carefully, and finally spotted the singular eye looking down at them both. (-1)

Nobi: -5E Txc ~~~ Ut: -3E/-10H

Gigya backs up, allowing Nobi full berth. The bug flaps its wings at incomprehensible speeds, before shooting off toward the canopy again. Unlike last time, Nobi came into contact with a powerful barrier. The force of his velocity against an previously unknown barrier made for a deafening thud, followed by a stunned Nobi hitting the ground. In a flash, the defending Pokemon shot from its cover and landed next to the bug, neck arched over it.(-1)

Nobi: -7E ~~~ Ut: -8E

Nobi tries to recover from such a splendid block, but Utropolis is already on the offensive. Claws scrape into the ground on both sides of the flier and pile rock and dirt atop of it. Nobi groans in pain as the weight begins to crush his frail little body. Those small arms try to get to work-but it might be a while before Nobi sees sunlight.(-1)

Nobi: -24H -Spd ~~~ Ut: -6E

Underneath the mound, Nobi feels his body reinvigorate itself.

===End Stats===


Ayeun starts off strong. Can she keep this intensity the whole Gym Match?

[Ayeun]

Hit him hard and fast. His speed will over take you soon.

Rock Slide ~ Fury Cutter ~ Fury Cutter

[Ayeun]

Is Gigya still around or did they vanish?

[Ayeun]

Please DQ this, so others can move in and challange me if they wish.

[Oslo]

Glad to have you back, Princess!

In the meantime, Em would like to battle you here. (Perfect Chaos's challenge was picked up by CEB.)
