Metallix's Girl vs Knight of Time~Saffire Persian

[Knight of Time]

Meh, I wished I could send out my Cyndaquil, but I'll probably leave that for another battle.

BTW, I thought I should tell you, I believe using Safeguard while you have a status condition (whether it was Mimiced or not) will not make a status condition go away, though I could be wrong.

[Saffire Persian]

It doesn't, and I'm sure Metallix knows this.

[Metallixs Girl]

Oh yes, I knew that it wouldn't cure the burn, but it will help with Paralysis and the rest ^^

Oh yes, btw, the description says Ingrain replenishes both health and energy, is Roselia getting (or will she be getting)some of both? I'm just checking. ^^

[Saffire Persian]

• Ah, I only went by tne knowledge that Ingrain healed only HP – however if the ASB DEF says energy also, I will do energy. She’ll gain back a little more this turn to make up for it, then things will continue normally.

  Knight of Time’s fallen Houndoom is quickly recalled into his Pokéball, replaced by Blissey – Knight of Time’s favorite as of late. The pink Pokémon gazes casually around, spotting her Roselia opponent. Venus smiles disarmingly, and starts to work on her attacks. Twitching her fingers, Venus is soon surrounded by a holy white light – it shrouds her body, ready to ward off any status elements. Roselia begins to glow in the same light, too, as she Mimics Venus’ actions to their exact specifications.
  
  Not wanting to waste time, Blissey breathes in air, and exhales a torrent of hot fire. The stream of flames looks to be on course, but is abruptly stopped in its tracks by a clear shield that surrounds the Roselia, protecting her from harm.
  
  Annoyed, breathes in again, while Roselia begins to glow green, and seems to grow considerably in size. The glow halts as the fire attack slams into Roselia’s Ingrained body, ravaging plant and petal with obvious greed. To make things worse, Roselia’s burn starts to act up again, though the nutrients from her Ingrain help offset the burning pain.

[color=mediumpurple]Thanks, Saffire. ^_^

All right Roselia, I had you take the heat and Grow because it + Sunny Day should help you with your Solar Beam. Afterwards use Aromatherapy to cure your burn, and then end with Synthesis.

However, if Miss Bliss thinks about changing the weather on you, change it back to Sunny Day and use Solar Beam x2 (or one, depending on the turn) and iff she changes it on the last turn, go ahead and do Aromatherapy

[Knight of Time]

Okay Venus, I think we can handle things well here.

Set up a Light Screen to try and block as much of the Solarbeam as possible, then aim another Flamethrower at Roselia, finally, try and pull her out of the ground with a Psychic (almost like uprooting a vegetable), or if this isn't possible, I want you to instead use Psychic to knock her down face first.

  Gathering up much needing light from the blistering sun, Roselia quickly channels the sun’s rays into useable energy while Venus, knowing very well what the attack is and what it can do, quickly sets up a shining screen of light to help buffer the blow. Now charged, Roselia releases a heavily concentrated beam of harsh, yellow-white light. It slams into the Lightscreen like a barreling train. A few rays of the Solar Beam get deflected, leaving obvious marks as they scatter about the arena, but the screen can’t hold it all back. Soon, the energy is too much for it, and the rays break through, cracking the sturdy shield, while injuring the Blissey in the process with the scalding hot sun beam.
  
  Squeaking in pain at her hurting skin, Venus breathes in and releases a torrent of flames, powered up by the sun. It hits the Roselia without any effort, but the Roselia is too busy using an array of pleasing scents to cure her heavy burn to notice much of the burning flames as the malady is whisked away.
  
  Now even more energized, Roselia begins to channel both health and energy from the orb above. The Blissey, not wanting her opponent to progress farther, tries to pull up the Roselia as if she were a turnip. The stubborn flower, however, is putting up a good fight, trying to drain each and every last bit of health and energy she can gain, before finally being uprooted and thrown to the ground.

Okay, it's been a few days since I finally got back, but now it's time to get serious.

Venus, Psych Up first, copying Roselia's boost is going to be important if we want to win this. Then, keep unleashing the heat with a couple of slightly powered down Flamethrowers. However, if she tries to heal herself with Synthesis again, crush her insides painfully with Psychic to throw off her healing concentration, doing it immediately on the second action if Synthesis is her first action!

Psych Up ~ Flamethrower/Psychic (to crush Roselia's insides if she tries using Synthesis, note, if Synthesis is Roselia's first move, I want Venus to use Psychic on her second action as quickly as possible to do the crushing result) ~ Flamethrower/Psychic (again, to crush Roselia's insides)

[Metallixs Girl]

[color=mediumpurple]Roselia, we are more even now, let's see what we can do... While she's busy psyching up, Double Team and spread out far apart so she can only hit one at a time. Then Flash to make it even harder. Finally, use the last of the sun to nail her with one more Solar Beam.

  Closing her eyes, Venus carefully forms a temporary mind-link between she and her opponent. Immediately, an outflow of energy flows into Venus’ body, making her feel justly invigorated while the Roselia herself splits into three identical decoys.
  
  As planned, a Flamethrower sears across the arena just as a flash of bright light goes off. This clone wavers in form and structure, and vanishes immediately from fire’s touch. Blissey, meanwhile, cries out in distress as her eyes suffer from the effects of the Flash, and out of her mouth, breathes out another thread of fire. A Solar Beam spirals to meet it, making contact with the Flamethrower in seconds. The Solar Beam over powers the flames, striking the Blissey straight in the chest, and nearly knocking her over.

[color=mediumpurple]We need to get you some health back, so Leech Seed and then try Ingrain + Protect Try to get back in the ground and keep from being pulled up again.

[Knight of Time]

Venus, things here are getting serious, with your energy getting low and Roselia slowly regaining her health, we can't afford a loss at this point.

Teleport out of the way of the Leech Seed, then blast the ground where Roselia is (getting her too) with an Ice Beam so that it will hopefully be harder for her to gain health and energy from her roots, then, simply relax. Let her waste her Protect shield in disappointment if she can.

  A spurt of bulbous green seeds burst forth from Roselia's flowered hands, spiraling through the air in a flurry of green. Venus squeaks, and her form wavers, and a split-second before the real and fake seeds would have made contact, the Blissey vanishes into thin air. She appears behind the three Roselia moments later, letting loose a shimmering blue wave of ice-type energy.
  
  The beam sears across the ground, not strong enough to break the arena floor by any means. It does, however, manage to decimate one of the clones and coat a very small circle of the floor in thick ice, but that does not stop the Roselia from ingraining, as her spot is relatively untouched by the ice.
  
  Slowly, the Roselia gains both health and energy, sucking it through her roots and converting the nourishment into energy. In an added measure to protect herself, Roselia covers her body in a bright white shield to deflect any and all attacks. The motion is useless, however, as Venus seems to be content with resting.

Okay Venus, this is not good.

With the fact that Roselia was able to heal herself from her burns earlier, we need to get plenty of energy back if we want to gain back the good chance we had of bringing her down.

Use a Snatch on Roselia, so that she won't be able to bring up a new Safeguard next round, then chill for the rest of the round (just be ready to dodge any moves using the least amount of energy possible, we can't let Roselia wear you out).

Snatch ~ relax (or dodge any attacks that come your way) ~ relax (again, or dodge any attacks that come your way)

Immediately, and a dark nimbus surrounds the Roselia, but it flickers away seconds later, to no effect whatsoever. Unharmed, the rose Pokémon sends forth a violitle spray of spikes, scattering them about on the floor, before bringing her rose-hands together, and throwing forth yet another bout of steel star-like objects.
  
  With the terrain now littered with tiny, hurtful silver Spikes, Venus does the best thing she can do in this situation, stay still and relax. As of now, Venus is quite unhurt, surrounded by spikes as she is, and soon, by spores of tough cotton that stick to her body like annoying fleas. Venus herself, no reseembling something of a wooly creature, continues to relax, taking in deep, calming breaths in order to try and get her mind away from her current predicament.

[Knight of Time]

You know, I'm kinda wishing that all non-damaging recovery moves would have been banned right from the beginning of this battle (not just Rest and Ingrain, but also moves like Recover and Slack Off), but I guess there's nothing that can be done about it now.

Your turn Metallix's Girl.

[Metallixs Girl]

[color=mediumpurple]Yeah I can understand, but I really wanted to have Roselia in a battle, and she thrives on Ingrain and Aromatherapy. I knew without them, she wouldn't have a fighting chance at all (remember how dead she almost was? And hey, you sic'd a fire dog on her, lol), and I also knew that nobody was gonna allow them, especially Ingrain so I knew I had to do it myself. I won't make it a habit though after this battle. ^_^

Oh, but since we're very even at the moment, we can cancel all of them and finish out (yes including Ingrain) Rose had a decent chance

Okay Roselia, Grasswhistle and Sludge Bomb x2 but if she tries another Safegaurd, Mimic it again.

[Knight of Time]

Venus, your Safeguard will prevent your opponent from putting you to sleep with her Grasswhistle, so don't worry about it.

And yes, Metallix's Girl, I don't mind if either of us don't use non-damaging recovery moves for the rest of the battle.

Okay Venus, it's time we got serious again. Use a Sing to put Roselia to sleep, then use a Swift to finally get rid of her last clone. Lastly, if you can, AND Roselia's still asleep, use a Dream Eater to sap as much of her energy (not health) from her, if you can't, but she's still asleep, give her a Nightmare instead, like thinking about the flames which got her earlier in the battle. But if Roselia wakes up from the Swift, put her back to sleep with another Sing.

Sing ~ Swift ~ Dream Eater (to drain energy instead of health if possible)/Nightmare (if Dream Eater can't drain Roselia's energy)/Sing (if Roselia wakes up after the Swift, or doesn't fall asleep on time)

Sorry about all the substitutions for Venus' third move here, I really wish I knew if any damaging recovery move (e.g. Leech Life, Giga Drain, Dream Eater, etc) could be possibly used to drain energy instead of health.

[Metallixs Girl]

[color=mediumpurple]Oh crud....O_O I could have sworn I saw that both Safegaurds were finished. Oh well...

[Saffire Persian]

• I suppose I can Ref Dream Eater to take away EP instead of HP; however if Metallix Girl has any objection to it, I'll re-edit and it'll be just HP only. But both of you seem to be on rather similar terms with one another on how the battle should go.

  Two beautiful, soothing melodies hum through the air, nearly putting many of the people in the audience to sleep. Venus' eyes droop a bit from the effects of the song, but the shimmering Safeguard keeps her from falling under slumber's spell; however, Roselia is not so lucky. Her song wavers, and fades as a yawn escapes her mouth. Soon, the slow melody puts the Roselia to sleep, and Venus is free to continue on with her plan.
  
  A barrage of five pointed stars whiz through the air, cutting the plant with their sharp, yellow edges. The Roselia does not awake from slumber, and continues to snooze peacefully on, unaware of the events that are going on around her.
  
  Next, Venus closes her eyes, focusing her mind and then psychically connects her brain to the Roselia's own. With greedy intent, Venus saps away the Roselia's strength as she devours on of the dreams that's whisking through her opponents head, gaining back a little bit of energy herself as she does so as Roselia dreams on.

[Knight of Time]

Um, Saffire Persian, before I post my next moves, I've got a question.

Did Venus' Dream Eater still cost her a bit of energy despite her attempt to drain energy from Roselia?

I'd really like to know before I post my attacks please.

[Metallixs Girl]

[color=mediumpurple]Well I wouldn't mind except I don't think it's allowed. I once asked if Rest could restore Energy instead of health and was told we couldn't change moves like that and it was compared to taking recoil damage out of Double Edge so you might need to ask first...^^

[Saffire Persian]

Knight of Time: Yes, it did, granted she gained some evenso. It had to cost something. So it cost energy, though it could have cost HP.

Metallix: Eh, I've seen it done in a reffing before - where some move has drained EP instead of HP due to a request. But whatever. o.0 I don't really care either way.

[Knight of Time]

Okay, so what was the net gain of energy then, from Dream Eater?

Also, shouldn't Roselia have no clones now?

Anyway, Venus, for this round, I want you to take the time to relax for all three of your actions. With the fact you've got plenty of health, we might still win this if we're lucky enough.

relax ~ relax ~ relax

[Metallixs Girl]

[color=mediumpurple]Rose, go ahead with Sleep Talk x3 You also have plenty of Health to spare so we can relax later.

[Saffire Persian]

It more or less balanced out... Roselia lost eight, and Venus spent 6 and gained back four. o.0... Though I'm going to make it so it only drains HP from now on due to what went on in the move tower. And yes, Roselia's clones are gone.

Oh, so I guess Venus' use of Dream Eater to steal energy was more of a net loss than a net gain, oh well...

I also understand about Dream Eater only draining HP for the rest of this battle; it's fine by me. When it comes to using damaging moves that heal the user by half the damage they do to an opponent, curiousity gets the best of me in the energy situation. No matter, I can still fight hard enough for anyone, as long as my confidence is high enough.

[Saffire Persian]

~ This reffing is short, because I basically am just emulating the round deleted. So meh. The Ingrain has not been added into this round as before, however. So consider the move stopped.

In review, Roselia started off the round with a Magical Leaf, hitting the Blissey as she hunkered down and relaxed. The Magical Leaf was followed up by a massive Solar Beam, nearly bowling over the relaxing pink Pokémon. Still, she managed to hold her stance, and even the spray of Pin Needles didn't move her from her position - though it didn't help her relaxed state much.

The round ended, with the Roselia still asleep, and showing no signs of waking due to the lack of offensive moves against her, while Venus was a little more relaxed and energized then before.

~Round 18 Start~

Not about to let her opponent get an ounce of rest, a purple aura flares around Venus, transferring over to the still sleeping Roselia. Throttling her with her Psychic prowess, the Blissey cuts of all oxygen for the plant type. It takes a few seconds for Roselia to respond, but after a moment, her eyes flare open - still drowsy, but panicked, she tries to breath, flailing her limbs in an attempt to try and breathe.

The Roselia's anxiety increases as Venus increases the pressure. She continues to madly scrabble for oxygen that Venus doesn't allow her to have. Panicking, she struggles madly against the Psychic grip, her sleepiness falling away from her like leaves from an autumn tree.

Then, just as soon as the Psychic attack had come, it fades away. Roselia gasps, breathing hard and fast, eyes wide as she inhales the precious oxygen in the air. She tries to relax from her harrowing encounter as Blissey does something of the same.

Okay Venus, this is it. One way or another, victory will be yours if we play our cards right (and if so, I have a Pokemon who is ready to evolve).

Swagger Roselia into making her possibly want to attack you, then relax for the rest of the round, however, if she tries relaxing herself, put her relaxation to a stop by using Psychic to cut off her oxygen again. We must bring Roselia down!

Roselia snorts, offended, and begins to swirl about, summoning up a myriad of sharp, pale pink petals. The pink projectiles cut into Venus' body, swirling about for a few, long seconds. Then, they stop. From across the field, the Roselia staggers on her feet, before falling onto the petal-covered floor, unconscious.

~ Knight of Time wins. Congrats, you get four points for winning, Metallix gets two. I also get four points for reffing. Good match, guys!

[Knight of Time]

Well, now this was a victory that almost got away.

Good match Metallix's Girl, you did really well. Someday, I hope to battle you again.

Thanks for reffing Saffire Persian, and please, when you get the chance, can you put up a new reffing for T_M_L and I in our battle? I wouldn't be surprised if Rebecca is getting impatient right now...

Venus, you did well once again, return.
