5 on 5 - The Arbiter Vs MLG Ref: Me ^_^

[Vermillion]

I like this style of reffing

5 on 5 battle

PM choices to me and I will choose who attacks 1st

Banned attack - Sub, Attract, Healing, Weather Moves

Ref -Me ^_^

Arena -A Barren Desert, in a large circle surrouded by cactus is where the battle will take place. Landing into the the cactus would be a BAD thing, and randomly a twisting dust devil will pass through the center, do mild to server damage. depending on the storms power; gound types are unharmed. Being a desert it is a blazing 100 degrees, which robs energy from the battlers, unless you are of the Fire Type. The cactus have a healing ability, in that if you can get pass the throns and squeeze water from them, it is a boost of 5% Energy.

Crazy Crazy...

Edit: Silly me..its a 5 on 5 not 1 on 1 =P

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Would you mind if I filled up a trainer spot? I already have three matches, but one didn't start due lack of a referee. So this would be my third spot.

[Vermillion]

No prob, PM me your 1st choice

[Greyfox]

I'm in the same boat as MLG. Two of my three battles haven't started because of a lack of referee, so I'd like to join this one. I'll PM you my choice pokémon.

Alright, Al, let's get things started with some defensive preparations! First, immediately cast 1] Safeguard to avoid any status effects. Then, bring yourself up to super-par with 2] Dragon Dance! Finally, use 3] Toxic to hinder Athene's performance. However, if at any time she casts Safeguard, use Double Team instead.

Ok Athene lets go! First I want you to use Blizzard, damn his Safeguard, but it has no effect on the gigantic blizzard attack! Then I want you to use Psych Up and copy his Dragon Dance, then finish with a defensive Protect to repel his Toxic!

Intro
The arid wasteland of today’s battle shall prove who has the strongest will. Tumble weeds rolls along the empty hot arena as two combatants square off inside a ring of Cacti. A veteran of the Golden Age of ASB, The Arbiter calls forth his elegant sea serpent Algernon. His body instantly dries out from the constant heat, which irks him. Across from him is the challenger, a new comer to the league, MLG sends out his dopey water type in Athene. She yawns with a vacant look, the heat seemingly not bothering her.

~~~~~
BATTLE
~~~~~

The dragon extends his feathery ear wings and gently flaps to hover, sending swirling silver orbs around himself. Athene sits up and opens her mouth lazily to generate a funnel of spinning wind, snow and ice shards which impact Algernon and throw him on his slithering back.

His shield absorbs all the freezing potential of the Blizzard, but the attack still causes him to shiver as he rise again and takes to the air, bellowing a beautiful song and twirling. A pulsating blue energy grows from his ancient dragon dance technique but he pauses in mid air with a look it distraught and pain. His luminance slowly diminishes and his eyes lock onto the Slowpoke who now has the strength of a dragon as well.

This injustice against his kind will not be taken lightly; no mere Slowpoke can handle his power! Algernon gnashes his teeth and secrete potent venom and lunges at Athene. His decisive bite is blocked however, which gives him a mild headache from the thick glittery green shield surrounding the Psychic….

I'm guessing I go first now?

Ok Athene nicely done! Now it's time to go on the offensive side, since Safeguard blocks all Status effects anyway! Start off with a Psychic attack and pin Algernon down! Then use another Blizzard at full charge to hit the Dragon super effectively! Finish with a Mud Sport to lower down your weakness on Electric attacks and to blind Algernon!

[Greyfox]

Start off with a 1] Thunderbolt to take advantage of weakness; then, immediately follow that by 2] Protecting against the Blizzard. Finish out the round by using 3] Toxic; Athene isn't protecting against it this round, so she'll definately be hit.

BATTLE
~~~~~

The Slowpoke finally shows sign that this heat is unbearable as she sweats with the same dopey, slack jawed look. Athene suddenly flashes violet and this same light coats the Dargonair. He is forcefully dragged to the burning sands, but with both opponents enhanced, it’s a power struggle for supremacy. This has to end now in Algernon’s mind as his neck orb glows a crackling yellow and a bolt escapes his horn to tag Athene and break her concentration.

Athene slides to a stop inches from the thorny cacti but she rises and charges another Blizzard attack, but this time the icy shard fan out against a shield not unlike the Psychic’s.

For the 1st time in this battle, Athene shows a new emotion…frustration. This is doubled over as there is hardly any wetness in this arena and she fruitless tosses dust and dirt around to for a weak thin coating of dirt, which stings her eyes. As she tries to clear the dust out she is tackled fiercely and bitten on the back of the neck. She twitches as the venom is delivered immediately. Algernon slitters back, pleased with his deed…

A great second round, Al. Now let's continue; your only weakness that a slowpoke can exploit is by using ice-based attacks, so let's prepare ourselves. If Athene does indeed fire an ice attack your way, the intense heat should melt it away before it even hits you; however, in the off chance that it doesn't, use Flamethrower to melt it away. Now for the attacks: start out by casting 1] Double Team to confuse her. Then, keep her immobile with 2] Thunder Wave. Finally, because she's immobile, you should be able to 3] Skull Bash her with no problems. If for any reason Thunder Wave fails, substitute Skull Bash for Shock Wave!

Double Team / Thunder Wave / Skull Bash (subs: Flamethrower, Shock Wave)

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Ok Athene, we're doing great! First start off by using a Swift to hit all copies including the real dragonair! Then use your own Safeguard to protect against Thunderwave! Finish up with Icebeam and try to counter the Shockwave to hit it with the Icebeam!

Swift ~ Safeguard ~ Icebeam

Also, quick question, can you be poisoned and paralyzed at the same time?

[Greyfox]

There shouldn't be a reason against it, actually. In real life, you can be poisoned and paralyzed at the same time, why not in ASB?

BATTLE
~~~~~

As Athene reels from the coursing poison and stinging eyes, Algernon slithers back and blurs into a fast moving ring of copies. The constant motion boggles the dimwitted mind of the Slowpoke so her only option is to hit them all at once! She rears her head back and spews forth jagged energy stars which dart in all directions. The Dragonair’s illusion is ended as he is pelted repeatedly and pushed back into a thorny surprise.

Not to be out done in the Safeguarding department, Athene generates her own barrier as Algernon yelps and grumbles from the pins in his tail. He charges a lashing bolt to try and wrap the Water type, but her orbs concentrate around her to block his advances.

With his first strategy demolished he goes with his back up, firing a rapid succession of electrical bullets. Athene answers the attack with an icy blast which melts a bit in mid air to slam into the shocking spray. It’s a short power struggle as the beam melts away under the heat and becomes electrified to throw Athene into the cacti as well. She lays on her back on top of the plants, as the pain takes longer to reach her brain…we’ll be back after this short commercial break…

Ok Athene! Good job! Lets do some distance attacking! Start off by using a Future Sight to hit Algernon when he least expects! Then use a Facade to attack him with the pain he caused you due Toxic! Then Finish off with a Psychic and throw him in the cactus!

[Greyfox]

Very good, Al. Now, let's really do some damage. While she's conjuring up her Future Sight, she'll be immobile. Take advantage of that and hit her hard with 1] Skull Bash. Then, when she tries to hit you with Facade, use 2] Agility to dart away from her. Then, finish off by Wraping around her; the constriction should make her unable to concentrate hard enough to use her kinesis.

BATTLE
~~~~~

The Slowpoke rolls forward from his pin cushion bed and plops on all fours, seemingly trying to focus her mind. She bares down to see into the future but suddenly the pain of the rows of thorns in her back kicks in and she moans with great pain and proceeds to try and pick out the protrusions. Algernon smirk and lines up his head and body with his opponent and proceeds to charge and strike with a forceful head butt to send Athene flying out of the circle of cactus.

She lands unceremoniously on her side and slides to a stop, but staggers to her paw again, eyeing the serpent with malice. She body glows and erupts in violet fire, in representation of her poison affliction and she rushes back, leaping over the plant life to deliver the pain she feels back. Algernon lowers his body to the ground and in a blink blurs from vision, leaving a small cloud of sand behind. Athene skids to a stop, looking for her opponent.

Algernon reappears behind the psychic and lungs again, this time tightly clutching her with his entire snake like body, crushing her with like a starving boa. He feels her every breath as it grows slower and her struggles lessen, but his feathery eyes perk up as he feels a change in the wind. He turns his gaze west and stares in shock as a massive funnel cloud of rock and sand quickly side swipes him and Athena. As they twist and turn in the funnel cloud, Algernon loses his grip on the Slowpoke and they are both flung outside the ring of cacti…hard…

Nicely played, Algernon. Now, we're gonna take this round easy. Set up another 1] Safeguard. That way, you won't have to worry about being poisoned or anything like that. Then, simply relax for the next two actions. However, if Athene comes at you with a physical attack, simply dart away using another Agility.

Algernon raises his head and shakes the dust from his feathery ear and groans from his aching frame. His own orders are to fortify his defenses and rest. He casts another Safeguard to reestablish his shield to full power as he watches his slow enemy phase out of sight in white light from her drop spot, to the center of the battle ring.

Both battlers now take the chance to catch their breath, although Athene groans as the poison continues to grow stronger within her. Algernon take this time to pick the thorns out of his sore tail. The Slowpoke takes the same idea to clean out her own needles.

Pulling the final painful spike out, Athene sighs and excesses the situation. Her serpent friend continues to build his energy back up and that just can’t happen! Her eyes glow with a lavender hue and she bellows her name, suddenly grappling the Dragonair with her mind. Algernon is slowly levitated, and with no ground on his belly, there’s no way he can escape. The Psychic flings her head back and throws Algernon onto the cacti, impaling him on his right side from his tail to his head, a few jabbing into his right eye, blinding it. Athene grins as Algernon wails and shakes himself free…

Ok, Athene it's not over yet! First start off by using Teleport+Facade! Teleport right behind Algernon and then Facade it with the frustration of your poison combined with your strenght! As a last move use Psychic again and throw it back in the thorns, if it attacks you after the Telecade use Icebeam to counter it.

[Greyfox]

Well played, Al. Now, let's strategize. Cast a 1] Protective spell to keep yourself unharmed by Athene's nasty combination attack. I know that your vision is obscured, but we'll be okay; follow that up by circling a 2] Flamethrower all around yourself. Athene should assume that she's being attacked, and will counter with her Ice Beam rather than Psychic. However, because of the combination of your Flamethrower and the already hot day, the ice will shortly melt away. If it does, then strike the water with a 3] Thunderbolt! The melted ice should carry the electricity directly to Athene!, which combined with her poison, should knock her out. However, if I did indeed plan that wrong and the ice remains... ice, then use Shock Wave instead. It won't pack as much punch, but it's still a guaranteed hit, and we need that because of your blindness.

The pain that Algernon is in is far greater than what it looks like. He quivers from the needles and moves as little as possible, creating a Protect bubble around him. Athene goes in for a combo tactic, breathing heavily, and grunts as she gathers all her energy to phase from sight. She appears inches behind the dragon glowing violets and gives him a tackle...only to be thrown away by his defenses. She lands on her side...the last of her energy used up, she passes out…

I figure'd that you'd send out your snorlax. No matter, Al, we're still good. From personal experience, I know that he can't use Safeguard, so take advantage and use 1] Toxic. He'll be much too slow to dodge it. Then, pace yourself. 2&3] Relax for a bit; we want to see what he's gonna do.

Athene is recalled to the safe ( and OH so much cooler) home of her pokeball. MLG wishes his new battler luck and throws with all his might shouting “Dionysus, GO!” and as the ball break apart on an unseen hinge the energy forms into a massive pokemon. The Snorlax bellows and scratches it side, groggy but ready.

Algernon spies his new opponent through his good eye; being a teammate with that species of creature he knows that their sloths like ways are a farce of great power. He decides to test the waters of the beast by spitting forth a Toxic attack. If anything it will hinder him for the other members of Grey’s team, but to no avail today, the slime spatters and slides off a silvery bubble. Crafty…

The serpent sighs deeply and takes a rest under his master’s orders and begins to pick needles out…slowly. Dionysus drops his shield and goes on the attack, rearing back and launching a powerful twisting beam of ice! The great heat of this area diminishes the frosty attack some what but it still strikes the serpent with decent power to topple him over.

Algernon slither up and sighs again, going back to his business of cleaning himself as the lumbering bear growls at how he is being ignored like a bothersome itch. He raise his right fist a gathers a pulsating white energy, which build as he focuses his entire chi to one spot. With no distraction from the opposition, Dionysus charges and throws his fist the belt Algernon in the face and send him flying. He lands a good distance away, wobbly, with his other eye now blacken and swollen…

Good job my friend! Lets finish him! Use Psych Up and copy that Dragondance! Then use Icebeam x2! If Algernon uses a status effection use Protect to counter it! If it comes close to attack bounce it off with a Megapunch!

There's no way that two ice beams can knock you out, Algernon, so let's play smart. He'll counter any status ailments with Protect, so force him to waste a turn by casting 1] Toxic; he'll use Protect and thus not get your Dragon Dance. Follow that up with 2-3] Bide. You'll take a lot of damage from the double ice beams, but this way, we'll make him pay for it in tenfold.

With a round under his belt Dionysus is ready to use his full power! He gazes at the waiting serpent, wanting to harness his mystic powers but he spits a hot venom which brings about a change in actions. Snorlax erects a bubble shield that keeps out all harmful substances, including the Toxic that splatters on the side of it. Algernon is saved for now.

The Protect is quickly dropped and an aquamarine light generates from the Snorlax, it coils in his mouth and he thrusts hisself forward. Algernon stands fast as the braided Ice Beam sails at him, slamming him hard. He shakes off the cold chill as his body takes on a soft glow of cold energy.

This infuriates Dionysus, will this thing EVER go down!? He repeats the Ice Beam again to put a period on the end of this match and watches the Dragonair take the attack directly on, never wavering. Dionysus ponder at this creatures determination and spirit but that query will have to be brought up later, something is happening. Alergernon glares at his opponent, his glow doubling in size, and for his gracious gifts he returns them with the power of Bide! A massive column of ice blue energy erupts from his mouth to tag Dion in the stomach which forcefully pushes into the thorns. He yelps, rubbing both ends in pain as Alergernon smirks and slumps over…little energy left in him..

He sighs half heatedly with now 3 choices looming over him, and opens his mouth the charge his final assult. The amber, raw energy grows as he mentally plays Eeny, Meeny, Mineey…WHAM!
