Mario vs TML (Ref DL, ya'erd!)

[mario72486]

Since I just started here, I was hoping if someone could give me a hand with the basics of ASB. I am open to challenges with any veteran users who have basic-level Pokemon at their disposal.

Arena: Cajon Pass
In this scenario, the battle takes place within a desert canyon, about 50 feet high and 100 feet in width at its widest. Even so, there are plenty of rocks and inclines filling the area, so maneuvering will prove difficult. The temperature is balming, and the sunlight is so intense, it feels like Sunny Day is in full effect...

Rules:

- 3 on 3
- I send out first, you may attack first.
- No banned moves (unless you feel some need to be)

I'll be starting out with Draco, my male Gible.


Hopefully everything is set up correctly. Any assistance on improving it (or challenges, should everything fits the bill appropriately) would be greatly appreciated.

[The_Missing_Link]

It just so happens that I have 3 basic Pokemon that need experience

Since you didn't mention abilities, I will assume that we won't be using them (I didn't want to anyway). And I want rest banned


I'll use Haplo, my male Bagon


Use a dragon dance then a double team and a dragon pulse


Dragon Dance~Double Team~Dragon Pulse

[mario72486]

Yeah, no abilities for this one. Thanks for taking me up on this challenge.

Draco, start off by kicking up a Sandstorm. Follow up with a Double Team of your own, then Dig underground to avoid the incoming attack if possible.

===Round 1===

I like this heat business. DL here, with a new arena for all to dwell in. We're here at Cajon pass, ready to face off with another battle for you all to enjoy. TML is arriving via helicopter drop, and..why the hell is she wearing that big ol' hat? And those gaudy shades?

TML: Cause the sunlight bothers me. Is that ok with you oh crazy ref?

I'm jus saying, sunlight is fantastic. And yes, Mario is here ready to go. Dressed like he stepped out of Miami Vice, nonetheless...so am I. Linen suit for the win! Its funny, as this battle is starting off to be a dragon only event!

Draco and Haplo stare each other down, an then both begin dancing around, as if to enjoy this heat. Haplo's dance seems to heighten its awareness, but there is now a stark blindness. TML holds her hat as the winds pick up and sand is created from the walls of this canyon pass. Draco seems at home with it.

Haplo: -3E +Atk/Spd ===//=== Draco: -4E
SS: 3 rds

The sand isn't enough to deter Haplo, as he runs through it toward his fellow blue dragon. Well, it seemed as if Haplo was running toward Draco. Instead, it was really their casting of Double team, which backfired on them both, since the sands ripped through the clones.

Both Pokemon stand in their same spots, kinda upset about that.

Haplo: -3E ===//=== Draco: -3E

Draco takes initiative now, and runs toward Haplo. Haplo welcomes the attack and charges up a Pulse of energy. Draco dives down as surfs underground-its fin sinking as if it was in the ocean as the Pulse flies over him. Haplo grunts, that was a pretty crafty move.

Haplo: -5E ===//=== Draco: -2E

Should have known that Double Team would fizzle because of the Sandstorm. I'll remember that for next time.

Alright Draco, emerge from the ground and try and connect with a Dragon Rage, then use Dig again to escape detection. When Haplo's guard is down, shake things up with Earthquake.

Dragon Rage ~ Dig ~ Earthquake

[DarkestLight]

Mario, Dig takes two actions.

[mario72486]

I told you I was new at this. It's going to take me a while to get used to this.

In that case, complete the Dig technique, then use Dragon Rage. Before he can react, use Dig a second time.

Dig (2nd turn) ~ Dragon Rage ~ Dig

[The_Missing_Link]

When he comes out of the dig, use toxic. Then use dragon pulse and then nab him with crunch before he goes under

Toxic~Dragon Pulse~Crunch


Edit: I'm sorry that I edited but I was creating my attacks before he posted different attacks. Only fair that I edit to be on level with him

[DarkestLight]

No prob Mario. I'm sure by this battle's end you'll be good to go with all the standard quirks.:O.

TML-yeah that's fair, that was a weird sequence. No prob. Just to be sure we all aren't confused, anymore-any move that has a two action counterpart takes two actions here as well, mario. So, Dig, Bounce, Dive, Fly...moves like that take two actions.

With that clear....

===Round 2===

The sands whip mercilessly at the canyon walls here, so I can only wonder what its doing to Haplo's skin. The scaly Pokemon does not seem to mind as it eyed the ground as best it can. He knows Draco is around, they share that common link all draconic ancestry seems to have.

Draco-as the shark he will grow up to be, lunges forth from the sandy ground-taking Haplo down from behind. Haplo rolled over so he landed on his back and hacked up a nice sized mass of purplish goo that was slathered over Draco's face. The sand ripped some away, but it still did its duty.

Haplo: -3E/-7H ===//=== Draco: -3E Txc

Disgusted by that turn of events, Draco shook away what he could of the poison, only to be covered in a warm light. This light felt like home, and then it felt like a doctors office-trying to sterilize his life. Chills ran up and down Draco's back and he retaliated with heat.

Haplo wasn't ready for the rage that would consume him partially. The flames fanned about all uncontrollably, and stepped back after being burned upon his lower torso. That pain stung with a consistent pain.

Haplo: -5E/-12H ===//=== Draco: -5E/-12H

The sand was really getting on Haplo's nerves. He wiped more grit from his eyes in order to make out Draco. There! To the left. Draco saw Haplo coming in fast and dove right back in the ground. A hearty lunge and Haplo's jaws closed on...sand! The damn land sharklet was gone! Haplo stood up, peeved he missed that stupid groundnugget.

Haplo: -6E ===//=== Draco: -2E

Sand burns in this heat (3), but underground, that poison started to fester (3)

[mario72486]

Toxic is a ticking time bomb, so it's time to stop with the hit and run attacks.

After you come up from Dig, trap him in a Sand Tomb. As he tries to escape, force him down even further with Dragonbreath.

===Round 3===

Draco is sure to surface early this round,as tat poison is giving his stomach something to gurgle about. His fin is seen from the east, of course, where Haplo is not looking. Draco lunges and strikes successfully, knocking Haplo on his stomach. Haplo pushes him off and fires off a wave of energy that resemble bluish flames These flames sting mercilessly on Draco's skin, and they do a strange reaction.

Draco falls over, body twitching! It induced paralysis!

Haplo: -5E/-7H ===//=== Draco: -3E/-12H par

Haplo walks over to the swimming land shark, who is now no more than a flopping mess, and summons a few harmful winds to add the damage up even more. Draco struggles to move, but his muscles say otherwise.

Haplo: -2E ===//=== Draco: par -6H

The sands seem to be weakening, and Haplo thanks the gods for it. Draco can move though and stands up. He bursts through the twister, only to be squashed by a tonnage of rock that was knocked over the side of the canyon wall. Haplo backed away from the wall, after hitting it with his head pretty hard.

Draco looks up from the ground, and manages to fire off his own Dragonbreath. Haplo freaks out ass he's struck by it and falls on his side. his skin doesn't feel like Draco's though, so no paralysis occurred.

Haplo: -7E/-12H ===//=== Draco: -5E/-6H

Before we go any further, something confuses me. Can a Pokemon be hit with two status inflictions at once in ASB? I'm used to normal game mechanics, where it's just one.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Yeah, it can be confused, burned, paralyzed and poisoned at the same time. Add that with leech seed and taunt and you got yourself a killer combination.

Learn, my child.

[mario72486]

Sometimes you learn best by doing. Alright, I'm going to have to take this into consideration for the next battle.

In the meantime, the move is yours, Missing Link.

[The_Missing_Link]

No it isn't. I attacked first last round

[mario72486]

I figured it would be your turn, since your initials are listed at the bottom of DarkestLight's last post. I thought that was the indicator of who goes first in the next round.

[The_Missing_Link]

Who ever attacks first in one round goes second the next round, and the person who attacks second attacks first. That's how people attack; if I attacked first twice in a row, it's an unfair advantage to the other person (unless for some reason, the two people agree on a specific attack order parameter)


All refs (and by that I mean all sane refs) copy/paste their reffing outline and only change what is necessary for the round. He forgot to change that little piece of info at the end. Mistakes like that happen all the time. Don't blindly follow every reffing if you think there could be something wrong with it. Refs are not infallible - they can easily make mistakes on damage/energy output, attack descriptions, or minor things like forgetting to change who attacks first next round. That's why asking questions is so important (annoying to the ref, but necessary)

I'm not trying to steer you the wrong way - you attack first

[mario72486]

This is exactly why I initially called this page "A Crash Course," since I'm still learning the basics, and because I'm still used to game mechanics. Because Draco is paralyzed, I'm used to having my Pokemon attack second in these situations. I do appreciate the explanations and the honesty, and hopefully they will come in handy as I gain experience.

With that in mind, Draco, we need to think of a way to fight through this Paralysis. Since the first Sandstorm has subsided, kick up another one. If you can, continue on with an Earthquake, followed by a Dragon Rush while his balance is off.

Sandstorm ~ Earthquake ~ Dragon Rush

[The_Missing_Link]

Use dragon claw while he stands there prettily. Then use a scary face to deter him from using earthquake and knock him away with a headbutt

Dragon Claw~Scary Face~Headbutt

Draco was a bit hurt by all his attempts thus far. This other dragon was whipping him pretty bad. It didn't seem to fare any better for him this time as well, as he fell over, hurting from the muscle cramps. Haplo walked over, and duly slashed Draco across his belly with his foot, Claws digging into chunky flesh.

Haplo: -5E ===//=== Draco: par -14H

Haplo, being so close, was pretty quick to roll Draco over on his back and sneer in his face, In fact, he did it with such fervor, that the face scared Draco. Draco put his hands up in order to block any incoming attack as Haplo leaned in to exemplify the effect.

Haplo: -2E ===//=== Draco: *Ack!*

Draco is thoroughly freaked out, and waved her arms again. Haplo does not care and mercilessly slams his head down on Draco's gut, forcing him to bounce a ways away in the canyon. Perturbed by all of this, Draco gets back on his feet and cries out in anger.

She wells up courage and rage, before firing off at astounding speed. Haplo is surprised by this rush of energy as its tackled down to the ground, both Pokemon sliding to a stop.

===Round 5===

Draco stood up hurting all over. That last attack was more powerful than what he was ready for. But Haplo was done for the moment, that's what mattered. At least, he was. Haplo opened his eyes and got up pretty fast, running away from Draco so fast that there were three of them! Miffed, Draco roared, and sand began to plume up and surround a Bagon.

It faded from sight, proving to be a fake. Two left...

Haplo: -3E 1 cl. ===//=== Draco: -5E

Haplo took the moment of lapsed concentration to run in and surround all of Draco's senses with fire and range and all sorts of draconic rage. Draco falls backwards, staring up at the walls of the canyon. He didn't feel like he had the energy to continue on, but with his trainer calling on him, he found his feet...

and fell again. Paralysis is eeeevil.

Haplo: -5E ===//=== Draco: -12H

Haplo walked over, ready to sear that poor Gible into the ground once more. He was successful in his attempt, as Draco cried out as the flames burned into its skin. Draco trampled and tantrumed in place, and that caused a massive Earthquake that shook Haplo and the whole of Cajon Pass quite a bit.

Loose rock fell from the side, as Haplo regained his footing, the other clone evaporating.

===Round 6===

Recalling his first, Mario now knew how deadly his challenger could really be. He planned his next choice out and released Cascada, a female Squirtle. Taking no chances, she raised a shiled to protect herself a bit from the heat, but mostly from the attack she thought was coming.

Nope. Nothing. Instead, Haplo went on the defensive, multiplying his odds so they were now 5 on 1.

Haplo: -3E 4 cl. ===//=== Cas: -8E

Energy wasted, Cascade decides to try that as well. She backflips and tucks her appendages and head into her shell. The shell spins a bit, gaining a sheen to it, like turtle wax or...something. Undaunted, the Haplo gang all run to it and poke at it, seeing that unlike other turtles, Squirtles don't have a lid blocking the hole from access.

In went a Bagon's head into each opening and all fired a signature Dragonbreath. Squirtle freaked and flew backwards via a jettison of water

Haplo: -5E ===//=== Cas: -3E/-7H +1 Def

Laughing, the Bagons continued their march., Cascade freaked out and popped her head out. That attack totally took her off guard. She prayed a strafing Beam of ice as the group advanced, and the Bagon's tried to scatter. Two were hit by the beam-and both evaporated!

Cascade hissed, but then she was splattered by a nay helping of Toxic in all directions. Seeing the globs fly at her, she thought the worst had come.

In a way, it may have..

Cascade looked at the Haplo group and grunted in disapproval. She knew that only one of them were real, and she had to discern whom. They however, didn't care, they were on a warpath, and they showed it by starting up a communal Twister and serving it to Cascade.

She was bopped around enough to be able to see where she could easily strike on of the group, and she went for it. Her shell went flying out the Twsiter....and through a clone. Damn.

Haplo: -2E ===//=== Cas: -6E/-4H

2 Haplo's left, Cascade readied herself with a nice dosage of Icy breath, and fired, as Haplo came in for a Dragonbreath. The Beam was quick to overpower the Dragonbreath, sparing Cascade some harm, as well as tagging the real Haplo and knocking him on his rear. The clone evaporated, and Haplo sighed. Cold things? Really? In this awesome canyon?

Haplo: -5E/-16H ===//=== Cas: -8E

Haplo sneered. There was no way to deal with losing his loved clone than to annihilate little turtle over there. So, he ran into the wall. Twice. Three times. Over and over, He ran into the wall had first, using that Rocky dome atop his head to shake rocks free from the canyon walls.

Cascade looked up, and shrieked as she saw the incoming boulders. Her body went on flight mode and she dug as if her life depended on it...cause well..it did! She pulled it off too-unknown to Haplo. To him it looked like she got squished.

===Round 8===

Haplo is on his last legs, but he's definitely not going down without a fight. The ground was his enemy, and he watched with a fervor to see where Cascade would appear from. Of course, you can't watch all the ground at once, and Cascade came speeding up to headbutt Haplo in the back. Haplo faded away instantly, smirking. Cascade missed the part where Haplo split into 4 copies.

Haplo: -3E 3 cl===//=== Cas: -3E

Unsure of the true Haplo, Cascade decided to fire off a nice Briny round of vengeance. 2 of the Haplo's faded away, leaving Cascade with a 2 on 1 situation. But Haplo was working on a grander scheme. Calling all the energy he could muster, Haplo was able to pull a stream of massing meteors down from the heavens.

They slammed onto and around Cascade with an unyielding fury, washing the area in a cloud of white smoke. It was weaker than usual, but it still left a hefty dent.

Haplo: -8E -2 SpA===//=== Cas: -5E/-16H

Cascade stood up after the onslaught was over, to see Haplo fell on his knees. She was pained very badly, but with the dual Haplo's down, at least she could get a crucial hit in.

Haplo showed no resistance as Cascade limped over and beat down his head into the ground. The other clone evaporated, as Haplo endured the Facade.

[The_Missing_Link]

If I recalled would that take up the whole turn or would I have to still attack first?

[DarkestLight]

Not exactly.

You'll rest for action 1, and then you can attack for actions 2 and 3.

To explain. The way I ref Mario, when your Pokemon gets to 0 energy, you are forced to wait for 2 actions-before you gain 20% energy back, in order to continue fighting.

[The_Missing_Link]

No, I meant if I recalled Haplo and switched to my new Pokemon, would that take up the whole round and then start off with me attacking second or would I still attack first?

[DarkestLight]

Oh no, if you recalled (I misread that x_x) You'd be able to attack all three actions.

I need to post that, but when you recall/switch, its gotta be on the turn you go first, and then yeah, 3 actions, same as always.

[The_Missing_Link]

Well, I don't want to do this but it is strategy

Haplo, endure it as much as you can and if you can manage, use swift

[mario72486]

He needs to take the first turn to recharge his batteries, so let's see if we can finish him off here and now. Use another Ice Beam. In case he's still up afterwards, use Withdraw while he Endures. Top it off with Rapid Spin.

===Round 9===

Haplo struggles to stand, but it really does not have the energy to fight right now. When that Ice Beam comes barreling from Cascada's mouth, Haplo cries.

It tries to bash its head through the beam, but alas, the beam overtakes him and leaves in his place, a ice statue of a tried and true Bagon in the thick of battle. Charging headfirst into whatever fate may await!

Haplo: -4H ===//=== Cas: -8E

That poison burns Cascade's throat (12)
