DD & Hatake Kakashi Vs. Blademaster & River Ref: Needed

[Blademaster]

Machu Picchu

Sandy, listen up! Dig your way out of that rock pile and go after Fullcharge. Its attacks won't hurt you underground. Dig under it, then pop up underneath him and give him a nasty surprise! After that, fire a Fire Blast - point-blank!

Move: Dig, Dig, Fire Blast

[Dark Dragonite]

Hold on, I don't remember seeing Dig in those attacks, I don't think I'm imagining things, cause I was about to say your idea of aerial ace to build up speed wouldn't work, as per the description I checked earlier for a separate match...

[Chris 2.1]

If blademaster had posted first and then edited attacks after seeing someone elses counter strategy, thats against the rules. But editing attacks is ok if nobody else has posted after you.

Since I dont see edit marks I'm assuming Blademaster deleted the post and made a new one.

[Pichu Luver]

[font=sylfaen] Eh . . . The land of the not-quite-living is nice place to be, you can remain perpetually confused and no one will fault you for it. ANYWAY,

First we are using a Rain Dance. Remember, Louie close your eyes and concetrate on bringing down the worst storm these parts have ever seen. Do not look at Feizhi, or listen. You are on a mountain, you are mighty. Speaking of mighty . . . Louie, I want you to be the Almighty Smiter! SMITE THEM! TWICE!

(if you want the particulars, smite Fullcharge [Smite=Thunder])

Rain Dance/Thunder x Two

Round Two
The ref slowly climbs back onto her Rhydon's back. Grumbling at the recent earthquake, she looks at her smirking Rhydon.

"Piss off Quistis.."

Starting again is Feizhi, she turns annoyed at Louie, who is happy up on his hill... Mountain... Thing. She begins throwing taunts and making 'unkind' gestures. Fortunately Louie one: cannot hear Feizhi do to being so far away, and has closed his eyes and has begun to spin faster then a Hitmontop. Rain begins to pour, and thunder rumbles above, and Louie looks like he's enjoying being the highest thing around... Lightning rod anyone???
Sanders, trapped in a dark tomb, begins to quiver in fear as rocks begin to rise up again, fortunately, he digs. FAST. Sanders appears un harmed as his built up tomb collapses in on itself.
Snorting, Tauros is really beginning to get ticked.

Fullcharge turns towards Louie who has a VERY smug look on his face.

He was Zeus. Now, he's God.

But to Fullcharge's surprise, his belly is slammed! His eyes bulge out unnaturally, as his looks at his stomach. A Torchic is sitting in a hole! Looking cutely up at Tauros who now is utterly confused.
Fullcharge can't catch a break! Louie has struck hard! Smiting the bull with a harsh thunder, causing his body to rise off the ground as lighting courses threw it! And then to add to the horror, Rocks pummel the left side of his body! Collapsing his body over the hole, and putting Sanders in complete darkness. Fullcharge angrily looks over at Feizhi who just shrugs.

That's just great, I would like a Dig, with Thunder as dessert, and then a Rockslide to go please.

Feizhi, who has recently been made a fool by two pokemon barely even working together, turns to the Sir Louie, the cockiest son of a pokeball you'll ever meet. She charges up a mean shadow ball, and fires. The not so paying attention Voltorb is slammed, but makes a quick recovery, glaring angrily at Feizhi.

Fullcharge, annoyed at Sanders, doesn't even have to pursuit. He rears up and slams his front hooves down and gleefully listens to the cries of a helpless torchic! his eyes insane with anger, Fullcharge refuses to lift.

3.... 2.... 1....

A massive explosion of point blank fire erupts from the hole, Fullcharge is sent spiralling up, crying out in shock and pain as his belly burns.

Looky... Beef...

As his body is in the air, it suddenly shakes violently with electricity again, lighting up like a frickin roman candle, Fullcharge slams into the ground, disorientated from his insane beatings.

Roman Beef Candles... Yeeeehaaa!

FACTS
OK! Repeat with me class: I will not stand over my opponent. Anyways, rockslide failed to hit Torchic cuz guess who was standing in the way? Nuff said.
Sorry if this is harsh, just sarcastic humour.
Thank God.. Err.. Louie??? For that 30% DMG cap huh?
Fullcharge is paralyzed due to being hit by two direct Thunders.

[Hatake Kakashi]

Wait, why did Tauros just ignore my orders...?

I said PURSUIT. Not STOMP. Tauros stomped Torchic despite NEVER being given the orders to do so. Ever. He was not told to Stomp Torchic.


If it's not too much to ask, perhaps a re-reffing? Tauros seems to have been doing whatever he pleased. I got ONE attack(and it wasn't even what I had ordered it to do) whereas just about everything hit Tauros without fail.

[Dark Dragonite]

Wait, I said to attack the one Fullcharge wasn't, at that point, he was to be pursuing Voltorb, wasn't he?
I purposely did that so Feizhi wouldn't be attacking Fullcharge.

[Crystal Tears]

[color=orange][font=franklin gothic medium][b]
Ok, Fullcharge first.

Pusuit- How do you pursuit something directly under you, AND under the ground? Pursuit requires hitting the object. Considering the top two facts, it is impossible to Pursuit practically, so I made Taruos use a 'Pursuit' on the ground.

Ignoring Orders- As I have explained the top move, now we move onto Rock Tomb. Fullcharge infact did use Rock Tomb, but since Sander's escaped it big digging before the move could actually damage, I felt little need to actually discribe it fully. Because of This Rock Tomb, the Rock tomb before it (the one originally trapping Sanders) collasped. So in fact, it did work, it just didn't hit. The Pursuit towards Louie did not work because Tauros had the Wind knocked out of him by a dig, then was shocked.

Feizhi's Mishap- This I will edit. Only tomorrow because I am seriously tired X_X;;

I apologies for the mishap.

[Hatake Kakashi]

Ok, I want a new REF too.

I'm sorry, Crystal Tears, but wether it's concious or not I'm just a bit worried you'll favor your sister(River) in this battle. I'd like a rereffing AND a new ref. Especially after that last round >_>

He was ordered to attack Voltorb if Torchic did not leave the Arena floor. Torchic stayed on the arena floor(albeit UNDER it) and Voltorb did not return.

The Pursuit towards Louie did not work because Tauros had the Wind knocked out of him by a dig, then was shocked.

This I understand a bit better, except that Pursuit ignores restrictions like being unable to fly, swim, dig, survive in lava, etc. so why would being "out of breath" stop it when the Pokemon is literally unstoppable until they reach their destination?

[Crystal Tears]

[color=orange][font=franklin gothic medium][b] Ok... I'm sorry... This may come off a bit harsh but thats not fair.

I'm not favoring my sister, last round(before this mishap prone one), I bloody well killed torchic, and now that Fullcharge is dying, I'm a biased ref? HA!

I considered digging leaving.. But since your veiws are different, I must abide by them?

Listen I will re ref the match, because somethings are new to me... (I have never seen an episode with Tauros in it, no joke, I don't really watch the anime).

Apologies again if this reply seems a bit rude.

[Hatake Kakashi]

<_< Like I said, didn't mean to sound harsh...

Well, few things:
1. Wether it's on purpose or not. Besides, not only is Torchic not Rivers(And Voltorb is rather well off...), it could be subconciously "evening it out" for your sister.

Like I said, I doubt you're CONCIOUSLY trying to sabotage anything but still. I don't like a battlers sister reffing her battle. Just like I won't ref any of Hinatas battles because she's my girlfriend. It's "conflict of interest".

[Crystal Tears]

[color=orange][font=franklin gothic medium][b]Fine. I won't ref this, sorry that I caused so much commotion. Good luck to both teams.

[Pichu Luver]

[font=sylfaen] I may note that Louie and Kahn have the same HP right now. We(Blade and I) both concentrated on Fullcharge, thus the overload of damage I would think. Getting a double dose of Thunder, along with a Fire Blast would not be pleasent. I'd say keep the same attacks, and find a ref to do the two rounds over.

[Dark Dragonite]

I left for a few hrs, and wow...I see both points of view, obviously, I am on one of them, in my opinion, torchic was digging up, out of the tomb, as it was not told to attack with dig, nor run away from either foe with dig, just to escape, and in panic, most people trapped in a hole, will dig up.

And Rock Slide despite being told not to Rock Slide.

And Stomping conveniently when I didn't tell it to stomp Torchic.


And DD - That's not even part of the problem. The problem is that Tauros was reffed as pretty much ignoring everything.

Not to mention what little help you've actually been(and I think CT already realized that from the looks of the reffing) but that's an entirely different problem.

[Dark Dragonite]

I'm used to my own game plan, and I was trying to take care of one pokemon while you handled the other, which is more of a helping teamate than our opponents have been for each other...

When I said about Torchic digging up, which I wouldn't imagine a torchic being a good digger, I meant, it wasn't leaving the battlefield, hence fullcharge would be attacking voltorb, I didn't equake on purpose, as I didn't want any possibility of tauros getting hurt by it...I do the same when I have more than 1 out in a match at a time.

EDIT: Look, you and I, Mike, we haven't seen eye to eye very often around here...if this can't be fixed, I'd rather let this die, and start something else, rather than start up bad blood.

[Chris 2.1]

Intervention.

Ok I can see both sides of this argument. Hatake, you're very much inclined to worry about the bias of your reffing if the ref and one battler are related. Asking for a new ref based (from what I can tell) off one particularly awkwrd reffing, however, seems a bit of a stretch.

I can see how the stomp/pursuit action is complicated. The anime has never shown pursuit (to my knowledge) and in the games it is something of a highly motivated tackle. Torchic was in the position that meant a tackle was quite difficult...so really, Tauros stomping Torchic was quite phesable. However CT I think you need to explain that more clearly in the reffing.

Torchic's digging is a minor issue, but since it learns dig we have to assume it is capable of digging to an extent. Possibly by driving its beak through the soil...I would personally have it use more energy through digging than a species such as Charmander.


Asking for a new ref is difficult, especially if it's a mixed decision. If you do want a new ref, then I'm afraid Crystal Tears should comply, but I can't believe the attitude. Who knows what she's up to outside of TPM? Despite whatever priorities she has she's obviously spent some time trying to get this reffing done for you, and I can't believe how hostile you are to somebody whose human enough to make some mistakes, minor or major.

Seriously, asking her to make changes is fine, and pointing out her problems is fine - Crystal Tears doesn't ref much around here so she's bound to make some mistakes along the way. I just think requesting a new ref based off one measley round is really unnecessary.

Sorry CT.

[Dark Dragonite]

Tauros was only going to pursuit Voltorb, or stomp voltorb, the subs were if torchic found a way on the mountain, like voltorb did, if torchic was the intended target, the mishap with feizhi wouldn't have happened, and torchic would have been rock tombed again, and it was digging through rock, so I agree, the energy spent should be higher.

^^; Actually I wanted a rereffing for that.

Torchic was in the position that meant a tackle was quite difficult...so really, Tauros stomping Torchic was quite phesable. However CT I think you need to explain that more clearly in the reffing.

I was going by the Attack List description. Also, his orders were not to attack Torchic AT ALL until round 3 unless it left the arena.

Again, her being related to a battle is why I'm requesting a new ref. That one round was why I was asking for a rereffing.

[Blademaster]

Hey, don't I get a say in this?

(WARNING: I've had a long day, I'm in a bad mood, so don't get pissed off at me for being rude, because I'm not - I'm being honest.)

DD - I'm with Chris 2.0 - 2-on-2's are hard, both for the battlers and the ref. Your orders were a bit screwed up? Well, mine were too - remember Crystal Tears' 'Torchic cannot FLY because it has weak wings and a big head' rule? Well, Torchic doesn't have fists, either, but it can still Mega Punch via selective breeding. What's with that?

Besides, you and HK ganged up plenty on my poor Sandy in Round 1; did I complain about Crystal's reffing? No! Did River complain about Crystal's reffing? No! You're the one complaining because you don't like the decisions that she, a neutral party regardless of relations or motivations, may have or have not made.

You want a new ref?

..........................

Uh, no.

I don't want a new ref. I like Crystal Tears, I think she was doing a perfectly fair job, and I see no problems with her continuing and finishing what she started. Get over it.

HK - Crystal Tears and River are related? Who cares? It sure doesn't seem to me like it's affecting the battle too much! Look at the scores! I'm getting sick of hearing you two complain, when you've got more experience, stronger Pokemon, more versatile movesets, and better teamwork skills, so stop complaining, stop cluttering this thread with spam, and stop bothering me. Thank you.

Chris - Thank you.

River - If we have re-do's everytime someone isn't happy with a reffing result, we'd never get anywhere.

Crystal - Please come back.

-Blade

Round Two
The recent commotion coming from her reffings set the ref off. Frowning, she pulls out a small black controller, and pushes ‘rewind.’

In a flash we are back at the beginning of round two! She’s watches as the events start again.

Fullcharge’s nostrils flare wildly as he focuses on the tomb that is emitting sweet little tweets, the ground trembles once again, and rocks shoot up from the earth! Shoving the old rocks out of the way, the Tauros huffs with satisfaction, that is until, a dirty, and tired Torchic hops out of the ground.

Feizhi turns towards the Voltorb in the distance, she begins to throw insults, and obscene gestures, but Voltorb can’t hear her, and can’t see her due closing its eyes, and spinning around, and around, summoning a powerful storm, that causes rain and thunder all around.

Tauros, already angry at Torchic, turns tail and speeds towards the mountain, nostrils flaring as dark energy begins to gather around its body.

Feizhi, seeking her opportunity, turns to the Torchic, who, because Tauros is so far away, and to fast, is simply fallowing the first part of the attack; Digging. This is royally screwed over when giant rocks hurled from Feizhi sweep over, and slam into the Torchic, who soon scampers over and continues digging his hole.

Tauros has finally reached Louie, who shocked anyone is actually near him, grows wide eyed when Fullcharge slams into him. Louie, abruptly disturbed by this move, creates a giant lightning bolt and strikes Fullcharge, causing static energy to spark across the bull’s body.

The third and final action starts with Fullcharge, in pain, but still able to run, taking off back down the hill again…

Feizhi turns to Louie, seeing his vague shadow Feizhi fires off a shadow ball that explodes on contact with le pokeball lookalike.

Sanders, braces himself as a dark empowered power house tramples over right where he had been, if he had not been under the ground. Tauros stops, finally out of breathe, is suddenly struck with a heavy thunder attack. Huffing he turns back to see Louie, ignoring Sanders who makes right up to Fullcharge and lets loose a powerful Fire blast! Hardly effected by the ain at all due to its point blank range.

[Dark Dragonite]

Ok, I'd like to know if we're still doing this, or if it's going to hell, so I can prepare, and move on with my life please.

[Pichu Luver]

[font=sylfaen] I believe we are still doing this as you are fine with the new reffing, so give me a bit and I'll post my attacks.

[Dark Dragonite]

I apologize for my rudeness, thank you CT for rereffing

[Pichu Luver]

[color=#0066ff][font=sylfaen]Louie, I want you to Teleport to a new location, anywhere on the mountains around the battle. Try to do it behind a rock so they don't know where you went. Then I want you Smite Fullcharge again. If you don't have 100% accuracy anymore, use Thunderbolt. If they do find you and attack (for HP damage) use Bide.

Teleport/Smite or Thunderbolt x Two (Fullcharge)
Sub: Bide

[Blademaster]

Machu Picchu

OK, Sandy, we need some time to regroup. Start off with Aerial Ace to make your escape into the mountains. If you get away, use Swords Dance x2 to boost your strength for later. If either of them manages to follow you or attack, use Rock Slide to return the favor. If you can't get away at all, use Double Team and then hit Fullcharge with Flamethrower - weakened or not, fire is fire, and it can still cause a burn.

Move: Aerial Ace, Swords Dance x2
Sub: --------------, Rock Slide (or Double Team, as needed), -------------- (or Flamethrower, as needed)

[Hatake Kakashi]

I really don't know how Aerial Ace is gonna magically let you fly o_O But eh I'm not the ref

Also, River, Electricity doesn't arc. It's straight to the ground ^^; Meaning beind behind a big rock formation just gives it a direct route to the ground. It only arcs when fired upwards because it's finding a way down. Firing over a hill would just hit the hill o_o [/science nerd]

<_< Sorry, heh.


Alright Full Charge. If Torchic does get away, keep your eye on it and charge Hyper Beam. Fire it at the end of the turn.

If it doesn't get away, Double Team and Rock Slide. Then finish off with an Earthquake! It's gonna hurt Kangaskhan, but she's got plenty of health. She'll understand big guy.

Charge - Charge - Fire Hyper Beam
Sub:
Double Team - Rock Slide - EQ

[Blademaster]

I really don't know how Aerial Ace is gonna magically let you fly o_O

Well, from what I understand, Aerial Ace is a very fast move - I'm simply using it to get away from my opponent instead of zooming in to attack them:

F
S -------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
F L

See?

[Dark Dragonite]

as of now, the ASB list says: Aerial Ace - The user's body part (ex: wing) glows and then strikes the opponent, much like a flying version of Iron Tail. Deals light damage

*Aerial Ace: The user speeds through the air at blinding speed, straight for the opponent. The speed of the attack makes it virtually impossible to dodge, however the user moves in relatively straight line so it cannot be used to effectively dodge attacks. Slightly lower than moderate damage. Excellent accuracy.

Torchic can't fly, so I would imagine running up a steep mountain would burn a lot of energy, as well as possibly not work at all

[Blademaster]

Well, that sucks... :-/

What can I do about this?

[Dark Dragonite]

nothing, as Hatake has posted, and I'm going to as well

[Dark Dragonite]

Ok Feizhi, time to take one for the team...
Get in the way of your foes attacks on Fullcharge, and Protect X3, just get out of the way of that hyper beam

Round Three

The first actions of round three take place quickly. Fullcharge focuses on Sanders, who is a mad attempt to fly is attempting a very odd Ariel Ace. He sends off compressed air that does nothing for him except slam into Feizhi’s protective shield causing it to ripple somewhat before fading. Fullcharge glows for a bit before splitting into 4 copies of himself.

In the distance, a bright flash signals Louie has teleported… But where?

The second action starts with Sanders, despite the rain, splitting into 4. Luckily, the rain doesn’t affect the copies, and Sanders exhales in relief. Feizhi waits, scanning the area for attacks as Fullcharge uses his head and horns to tosses waves of rocks are the Sanders. Unfortunately he only strikes two copies.
The crackling sound of a thunder gains Feizhi’s attention, she jumps in the path daringly and summons a protect, though considerably weaker then the first, it still works, and stops the brutal electric attack.

Now came the difficult part, as Feizhi moved into try and block Sanders who was preparing a flamethrower, Fullcharge began to jump around wildly, soon causing the ground to shift, and quake, the power earthquake causes Feizhi to stumble and fall, Sanders was having a extremely hard time dodging rocks that were shifting up from the ground, and Fullcharge was just enjoying the scene.

Amidst the Chaos, Fullcharges chaotic reign comes to ma grinding halt when a brilliant thunder slams into his rear end, the Tauros cries out in pain and utter confusion, and then is lighting singed by a half arsed Flamethrower from the dazed Torchic.

[Hatake Kakashi]

I thought you weren't reffing anymore, CT? *blink*

Normally I wouldn't mind at all that we got a fast reffing, but my point still stands.


On top of that I'm curious how Louie is altering physics(Mountains suddenly immune to Earthquakes nearby, avoiding the whole "Quickest path" with electricity.)

[Blademaster]

Dude, do you think an artificial earthquake could reach into mountains hundreds of feet off? A quake of that magnitude would put the ref and all four trainers in danger, too, would it not?

Pokemon Earthquakes have to have a limit. Think of back in the Orange Island finals, when Ash's Tauros used Earthquake/Fissure to shake the arena, surrounded by a stadium-full of fans. There had to be a limit, or countless people would be hurt (or worse); this is no different.

Besides, isn't creating an artificial earthquake, teleporting into thin air, and commanding the powers of fire and electricity 'altering physics' to begin with?

Anyway, come on - you and DD first this time.

[Crystal Tears]

[color=orange][font=franklin gothic medium][b] Ok.. Not everything will fallow your path of how things work.
If everyone fallowed the whole "quickest decent" then no electric attack would ever hit. Besides! Tauros was actually the tallest thing in the plain field because Feizhi had fallen over, and Torchic is a foot tall. So in that case, the lightning would still of hit, as Tauros is the tallest thing out there.
As Blade stated, Earthquake looses its effect over an area, since Louie is far away; it barely gets anything worth counting as damage. It's a pokemon causing the earthquake, not two giant plates sliding against each other.

Plus the other three don't seem to mind me reffing, so what's the real problem? The pokemon world doesn't fallow ours. My god, its not like your pokemon is the only one seriously hurt, Torchic is pretty bad to but I don't see Blade complaining.
People ref differently, as your reffing might fallow a stricter and scientific view, mine doesn't. As it says "Refs with interpret things differently".

If you really want Louie to receive a tiny bit of damage from earthquake then fine, I'll do that, but I'm not changing around my entire reffing because its not fallowing a strict scientific view.

Err... Sorry if that came out harsh....

[Hatake Kakashi]

To sum it all up and be less angry:

I quit.

Battlefield removal without all the perks on Louies part is unfair(He teleported outside the battle willingly. He should be DQed).


And Blade said it himself.

Dude, do you think an artificial earthquake could reach into mountains hundreds of feet off?

So either EQ can affect the mountain, or Voltorb just left the battlefield and is now DQed.

DD can continue on his own if he wants. If I hadn't asked him to protect me last round, it would've been like I was alone anyway.

[Dark Dragonite]

wouldn't the thunder have been weakened too, if EQ was by being "hundreds of feet away"?

[Chris 2.1]

Listen if none of you can see eye to eye on this and there's going to be arguments over every trivial thing that happens, you might as well just cancel the match. Seriously, all it's doing is making everyone p*ssed at each other and thats not what this forum is about. ASB's supposed to be a bit of a laugh. If you can't get that out of this then call it quits.
