BEAR! Get in here and battle me! (Sub-Ref: CEB)

[VirtualPlay]

Two TPM vets, former ASBers, and recently restarted ASBers. Let's go!

2 v 2
DQ: 4 days
Banned Moves: Detect/Protect, Rest, Substitute, Hidden Power
I send first, you attack first.
Arena: Basic, open grassy field, with nothing in the way. Unless you can think of something better.

Go Nano!

[Crystal Tears]

May I ref?

[VirtualPlay]

Absolutely!

[Bear]

AHA! I accept your challenge! If it's ok with you, I'd like to ban Hidden Power as well. Let's see if I remember how this goes...

For my first pokemon, I will also send out my Magnemite for a classic matchup that would only conceivably take place in the Anime (because no competitive battler would ever send their Magnemite out against another Magnemite)!

*chucks the pokeball into the air* Gooooo Polarize!



Short circuit that other Magnemite with a Thunder Wave! While it's immobilized, soften its resistance with a Metal Sound! While its defenses are down, zap it as hard as you can with your best Thunderbolt!

[VirtualPlay]

Hidden Power is okay to ban as well. I never use it, anyway.

Okay, Nano, let's start off by using a Metal Sound of your own, then Lock-On so you can hit it with a Zap Cannon.

Metal Sound ~^~ Lock-On ~^~ Zap Cannon

[I I I I I I I I I I]
Thunderwave → Metal Sound → Thunderbolt

Ready… Go!

Appearing on the field are two pokemon virtually identical save for one shimmers and is a odd colour. The ref rolls her eyes at the two combatants as Nano blasts a *horrible* sound towards Polarize who shutters a bit as the attack takes its toll (3 ENG @ Nano, -2 SPC DEF @ Polarize). The other magnemite however, gathers up a small charge of static electricity and flings it on Nano, who narrows it’s eye in frustration (1 ENG @ Polarize, PAR @ Nano).

Slowed a tag, Polarize takes the advantage and shoots his own horrific sound at Nano, alas though, the sound wavers and completely misses its target, rotten luck that it (3 ENG @ Polarize). Nano concentrates and his single eye is now solely focused on his non-shiny counterpart (3 ENG @ Nano, LOCKED @ Polarize).

Though his last attack missed, Polarize still has the speed advantage. So he charges up a large lightningbolt and fires it at Nano, who takes the attack in stride (8 DMG@ Nano, 2 ENG @ Polarize). Nano begins to spark, bolts of energy flying off of him as he creates a large ball of electricity and flings it at his opponent. Polarize shutters and his pupil does circles as his metal hide conducts the electricity before it somewhat disappates (11 DMG @ Polarize, 3 ENG @ Nano, PAR @ Polarize).

End!

Notes
Metal Sound does not have 100% accuracy, that’s why it missed.

[VirtualPlay]

Okay Nano, time to keep this going. Start with a Light Screen to give you some protection, then hit with another Metal Sound followed by Mirror Shot.

Light Screen ~^~ Metal Sound ~^~ Mirror Shot

[Bear]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Magnemite can't learn Light Screen can it? Wanted to clarify in case VP needed to change his attacks before I posted mine.

[VirtualPlay]

Well, if yours can learn Thunderbolt (via TM24), then my Magnemite can learn Light Screen via TM16.

[Bear]

Nevermind I'm retarded, I read the list I was looking at wrong. I'll post my moves in about an hour

[Bear]

Alright Polarize, if we can't dodge his attacks we can prevent them! You're faster, so confuse him with your Swagger before he can attack! Next, fix your lowered Special Defense with your own Light Screen! Finally, hit him again with your trusty Thunderbolt!

Swagger ~ Light Screen ~ Thunderbolt

Ready… Go!

The battle begins with Polarize throwing insults at Nano while somehow gesturing in a rude manner with its magnets (4 ENG @ Polarize, RAGE (80% ignore orders) @ Nano, +2 ATK @ Nano)… Poor Nano can’t control his rage and rushes towards Polarize, slamming into him before twirling and smacking him with his magnets (7 DMG @ Polarize, 70% ignore orders @ Nano, 5 ENG @ Nano).

Polarize quickly summons a shining golden shield to take some of the special damage coming his way (4 ENG @ Polarize, LIGHT SCREEN: ½ SPC ATK @ Polarize). Nano struggles with his anger and gives into it, rushing and bashing poor Polarize all over again (7 DMG @ Polarize, 5 ENG @ Nano, 60% ignore orders @ Nano).

Nano fights once again with his emotions, and manages to see through to fire a shiny stuff at Polarize, who takes the attack like nothing (3 DMG @ Polarize, 1 ENG @ Nano, 50% ignore orders @ Nano). Polarize goes on the offensive and blasts his opponent with another nasty thunderbolt (7 DMG @ Nano, 2 ENG @ Polarize).

End!

Notes
Ta da~

[Bear]

Alright Polarize, you're hanging in there! Put up a Reflect to protect yourself from any more of his rage! Next, Lock-On to him so he can't evade your attacks! Finally, let's upgrade the firepower and hit him with a Thunder!

[Bear]

So uh, I just noticed it's past the DQ time. Does that mean VP is disqualified? I forget how this works -_-

[Crystal Tears]

If you wish to DQ him, you can at this point. I talked to him earlier and he had been busy with work.

[VirtualPlay]

Oh crap, I set DQ to 4 days and forgot I did. Well, you can DQ me if you want, but expanding on what CT said, I've been coping with my new third-shift job and I haven't had much in the way of sane thoughts all week. Plus you'd get nothing out of it, so if you're willing to let me go, I'll toss my attacks out.

Well Nano, since Polarize has Light Screen and is putting up a Reflect, I guess you can use a Screech to lower its base defense, then Façade since you're paralyzed. Finish up with Magnet Bomb.

Screech ~^~ Façade ~^~ Magnet Bomb

[Bear]

Lol it's cool I don't care. I just needed to bump the topic because it reached the second page! Looks like we're back in business .

Ready… Go!

Things are beginning to turn around, Polarize decided to help himself out he summons a blue shield around himself (4 ENG @ Polarize, REFLECT: ½ ATK @ Polarize). Nano wants to try and even it out, and lets loose a horrible screech (thankfully seeing through the anger), but his opponent is ready for it and quickly floats out of range (3 ENG @ Nano, 40% ignore orders @ Nano).

Alright, that was annoying. The shiny magnemite narrows his eye at Polarize, and attempts to charge, but his body sparks and he wobbles in the air! The paralysis has kicked in and poor Nano can’t attack (3 ENG @ Nano, 30% ignore orders @ Nano). Polarize takes the time to lock onto his target (3 ENG @ Polarize, LOCKED @ Nano).

This round has been a big disappointment for Nano, who hopes to redeem himself. He fires a small metal projectile that looks suspiciously like a missile at Polarize, it hits its target, but does little (2 DMG @ Polarize, 1 ENG @ Nano, 20% ignore orders @ Nano). Polarize counters happily, unleashing a terrible lightning bolt that fries poor Nano (7 DMG @ Nano, 3 ENG @ Polarize).

End!

Notes
Bad luck this round...

[VirtualPlay]

Well, let's try that again, Nano. Once again go for a Screech followed by Façade. This time, however, end with a Thunderbolt!

Screech ~^~ Façade ~^~ Thunderbolt

[Bear]

Alright Polarize, now's your chance to get back in this! Let him Screech all he wants, then bring all your defenses back to normal with a Psych Up! Sidenote - This should also net him a +2 ATK since that is Nano's current status. After you're back to normal, make use of that boosted attack with a Signal Beam (or, if you were fully paralyzed for your first turn, use Psych Up)! Finally, since you're still locked on, hit him with another Thunder!

Psych Up (after Screech) ~ Signal Beam (or Psych Up if FP on first turn) ~ Thunder

[Bear]

aaaah second page of death! Sie you need to get your ass in gear

[Bear]

Crazy Elf Boy here, taking over reffing this match for Crystal Tears. Nano starts off this round by screeching loudly sending the sound waves across the field, with Polarises hearing centres ringing loudly he locks on to Nano and starts psyching himself up to match Nano.

Nano [-5EN]

Polarise [-4EN, -2 Def, Psyched Up (+2 Atk)]

Using the paralysis to fuel it Nano rushes in and bashes itself against Polarise, all it can do in response if fire a beam of pure green energy which hits Nano but doesn’t affect him much.

Nano [-6HP -8EN]

Polarise [-10HP -6EN]

Polarise begins to charges up a deadly bolt of thunder, seeing this Nano also does the same thing charging up a slightly less charged up bolt and both of them fire their shots. The lightning streaks across the field and both hit their respective targets creating a nice explosion.

oh geez I totally didn't even realize you had edited your post instead of making a new one. Alright, now for the next round...

Alright Polarize, you're ready to turn this around! Now that you've beefed up your attack and you're paralyzed, hit it with your own Facade! After that, Screech as loud as you can to drop his defenses! Finally, switch back and use another Facade!

Facade ~ Screech ~ Facade

[VirtualPlay]

Nano! Start by buffing yourself with Iron Defense twice, then finish with another Façade of your own!

Iron Defense ~^~ Iron Defense ~^~ Façade

[Bear]

lol VP you really want this to last forever don't you?

[VirtualPlay]

I'm a tactics man, I've got tactics hands...er, yeah. Right.

In other words, I don't do straight damage, I'm very strategic >=3

But really, who wants to battle forever?

(...yeah, I just managed to parody two song lyrics...shut up...)

Nano still floating around in the air begins to coat its skin in a metallic liquid which makes its skin tougher. Polarise just slams its body once again into Nano pushing it back a bit.

Nano [-8HP -5EN, +2 Def]

Polarise [-8EN]

Once again Nano coats its body in the same substance which gleans over creating a nice sheen. Polarise just lets out a screech which rings throughout the field which knocks Nano off guard a bit.

Nano [-5EN, +2 Def, -2 Def]

Polarise [-5EN]

Trying to attack each other for the last time in the round both Nano and Polarise seem to be unable to attack due to their paralysis.

Alright, we're getting through this, now I want you to give him a Screech as well, followed by two attacks of Façade. If you're paralyzed for the screech, use it on the second turn instead of Façade; if it fails on that turn too, just forget about it.

Screech ~^~ Façade/Screech ~^~ Façade

[Bear]

Alright Polarize, you've got him now! After he futilely Screeches at you, turn that negative into a positive by Psych Uping his stats! Follow that up with an Iron Defense to boost your defense even more! Finally, let's do some damage with your own Facade!

Starting off the round Nano fires a loud screech at Polarise which causes it to lower its defences a tiny bit. Polarise responds by psyching himself up to match Nano’s strengths.

Nano [-5EN]

Polarise [-4EN, -2 Def, Psyched Up]

With its opponents defences apparently down Nano bashes itself into Polarise. Its response is by coating itself in a metal liquid making its body harder.

Nano [-8EN]

Polarise [-8HP -5EN, +2 Def]

Like before Nano slams itself once again in Polarise who responds in kind by barrelling itself in Nano.

Ok Polarize, you're hanging in there! First put up another Reflect to max out your defenses, then Lock On again to prepare for the home stretch. Finish out this round with a Metal Sound!

Reflect ~ Lock On ~ Metal Sound

[VirtualPlay]

Hm, he's probably not going to be able to finish you off next round, so let's not worry too much about hitting him while he's getting stats. Start with a Supersonic to get him confused, and hopefully he'll start doing damage for us. Spend a turn to relax and get some energy back, then finish with a Thunderbolt.

Supersonic ~^~ relax ~^~ Thunderbolt

[Bear]

SUPAH SONIC!

Seriously, is this the longest single matchup ever or what? XD

[VirtualPlay]

Is not, I'm reffing a battle that the first pairing lasted to the end of 12 rounds before one finally kicked it (to heavy Toxic damage, no less).

[Bear]

Our refs keep abandoning us . Well, we're just under 50% health after round 6, so we might go 12 rounds at this rate. I think our energy will kill us before our HP lol

Polarise begins the match by putting up a small window of energy which it hopes will protect him. Nano responds by emitting a loud supersonic blast which rings in the sound sensing units of Polarise but doesn’t seem to effect it.

Nano [-3EN]

Polarise [-5EN, Reflect 5 Actions]

Once again Polarise goes first and locks onto Nano using his massive computer.
Nano tries to lie on the ground but due to its paralysis it seems to be unable to do anything at all.

Nano [*par*, Locked On 3 Rounds]

Polarise [-5EN, Lock On 3 Rounds]

Getting back off the ground and into the air Nano manages to charge up enough energy to fire at Polarise which hits him crackling electricity all over his body. After being hit by the shock Polarise’s paralysis takes the better of him and makes him unable to do anything.

Interesting, Paralysis prevents relaxing, huh?

Oh well, guess we'll have to make it up this round. Thunderbolt to start, then relax and end with another Thunderbolt. If you fail to relax again, then sub a relax in place of the last Thunderbolt.

Thunderbolt ~^~ relax ~^~ Thunderbolt/relax

[Bear]

Alright Polarize, now you've got him! Put up a Light Screen to further protect you from those Thunderbolts, then hit him with your own Supersonic, then relax for your final turn.
