C~Dub VS Dogfish44 (Ref: Oslo)

[DarkestLight]

I just want to clap up the reasoning and civil manner in which you two took on that discrepancy :O. More than just battling, ASB is really about moments like that, where discussion leads to a better experience for all :O.

[Dogfish44]

You mean I got it right ^_^ (Thanks DL)

Anyway, gonna finish of either a duck or a Dog. Let's try the finale with my Gabite, TERRABITE!

GL C~Dub, may the best man (/woman??) win.

[C~Dub]

Thanks, Dogfish. By th way, I am male so...

Anyways, I'll be sending out my Porygon, Digit.

Ok, Digit start off with two Ice Beams, and finish with Double Team.

If he tries to Double Team at all, use Rain Dance and if he uses Toxic, use Magic Coat an action before it.

[Dogfish44]

OK. I missed your post though >_>

Terra, Start of by obscuring Digit's Vision with a Sandstorm!
Follow up by melting the ice beam with your Fire Blast!
Finish up with a Rock Tomb

Sandstorm ~ Fire Blast ~ Rock Tomb

‡ Pre-Round ‡

‡ Round 18 ‡

The trainers recall their fallen Pokemon and pause to consider their new selections. DF ultimately decides to go with his fierce black Gabite while C~Dub releases a Porygon which emits a chipper digital chirp. As the match enters its eleventh hour, the two Pokemon stare each other down. Here we go!

Terrabite is the first to act. It howls into the air as sand suddenly whips through our little makeshift arena. Irked, Digit shoots off a powerful beam of ice that strikes its target right in the gut.

<Digit: -8 EP>
<Terrabite: -16 HP; -4 EP>

With grains of sand still tearing through the air, Terrabite opens wide and shoots off a powerful burst of crackling flames. In response, Digit shoots off a wicked beam of frosty energy that collides with the Fire Blast. In the end, both moves make it to their respective targets, though the Ice Beam is slightly weakened.

<Digit: -8 HP; -8 EP>
<Terrabite: -13 HP; -8 EP>

Commanding a battery of large rocks, Terrabite hurls a series of boulders that crush Digit. Ouchies. Despite his sad state of affairs, the little Porygon manages a Double Team. Three clones pop into existence on the outside of the tomb of rocks, separated from their originator. I guess it’s just their sad fate that they’ll never get to meet the Porygon from whence they came, as razor-sharp motes of sand obliterate them within seconds.

<Digit: -6 HP; -4 EP; -1 Speed>
<Terrabite: -5 EP>

Great clouds of sand gust through the arena; fortunately, the Rock Tomb helps a wee bit to block out some of the damage. <Digit: -2 HP>

[Dogfish44]

Start of with a Toxic, but if it protects, take the time to dig underground.

If you used toxic, follow up with an Earthquake and then a DragonBreath.

If you used dig, finish up the dig and combine it with a spinning Dragon Claw.

‡ Pre-Round ‡

‡ Round 19 ‡

As the sand billows on every side of us, Terrabite spews a steaming glob of toxin at Digit. However, the little Porygon is still trapped in his tomb of rocks; as a result, the Toxic harmlessly smacks into a random boulder. Digit chirps digitally from his tomb and we can only assume he gave the Mirror Coat a go, though the outcome of that move is ultimately moot.

<Digit: -4 EP>
<Terrabite: -4 EP>

Frustrated that his move didn’t make contact, Terrabite slams his foot into the ground. For perhaps the bazillionth time this match (give or take a few), the earth starts shaking uncontrollably, harming Digit and causing the boulders to tumble away. At least the little digital duckie is free, though! With its sights clearly on Terrabite, Digit fires off a chilly beam of icy energy which collides with its target. Brr.

<Digit: -8 HP; -8 EP>
<Terrabite: -16 HP; -7 EP>

Terrabite glares at his opponent for that rather rude Ice Beam and opens wide. Using his rather foul halitosis to his advantage, Terrabite fires off a beam of Dragon-type energy that causes Digit to go tumbling backward. Now, Porygons don’t really have limbs and I can’t imagine they’d have muscles—but somehow, nonetheless, Digit begins feeling a little physically restricted, almost as if it were compressed into a ZIP file or something. To Terrabite’s dismay, the paralysis doesn’t stop it from firing off another painful Ice Beam.

<Digit: -6 HP; -8 EP; Paralyzed>
<Terrabite: -16 HP; -5 EP>

Great clouds of sand gust through the arena. <Digit: -3 HP>

[Dogfish44]

Whilst crazy duck is zooming around, I want you to dig underground.

Wait for the 2 ice beams to be fired, hiding in the hole in the sandstorm, then do a Spinning Dragon Claw dig.

Dig ~ Dig + Dragon Claw After all ice beams have been fired.

I hate Ice Beam >_>

‡ Pre-Round ‡

‡ Round 20 ‡

Using the powerful fins on his forearms, Terrabite burrows deep into the earth and out of sight. Digit figures now is the time to do away with that Speed drop, and starts whizzing around—before promptly falling on its face. Bummer.

<Digit: Paralysis!>

A low wind gusts down the path. For a battle, it seems strangely quiet. Unnerved, Digit looks left and then right, trying to identify a target, before firing off a chilly energy beam at nothing in particular out of frustration. The Pidgey who gets nailed by that Ice Beam doesn’t seem too happy, but what good is that?

<Digit: -8 EP>
<Terrabite: twiddling thumbs>

Again, Digit scans the field in an attempt to find its foe. It bounces toward the hole left by Terrabite, but finds its muscles (or whatever you want to call them) locking up once more. Oh man, struck down by Paralysis twice in one round? Bad luck! Struggling to regain muscle control, Digit realizes there’s not a lot it can do if that Gabite decides to come up and—

And own it with a Dig/Dragon Claw combo. Just like it did right now. Yeah. Ouchies.

<Digit: -13 HP; Paralysis!>
<Terrabite: -11 EP>

Great clouds of sand gust through the arena <Digit: -3 HP> before the sandstorm dies away quietly.

[Dogfish44]

Use the speed advantage to set up a medium (20 HPish?) Substitute. Follow up with a Sandstorm before finishing up with an earthquake.

If it is gonna protect against that quake, I want you to relax.

[Oslo]

I'mma just go ahead and bump this for C~Dub.

[C~Dub]

Sorry, about that guys.

Ok Digit, use Blizzard, then Magnet Rise, and finish with Ice Beam.

‡ Pre-Round ‡

‡ Round 21 ‡

In a moment of clever thinking, Terrabite snatches up one of the remaining pebbles left over from his Rock Tomb a few rounds ago and uses it as a Substitute. With the pebble taking his place in the battle, Terrabite hunkers down as Digit whips up a ferocious Blizzard that tears across the path. The icy storm snatches up the stone and spins it around a little, but ultimately leaves both it and the Gabite intact.

<Digit: -10 EP>
<Terrabite: -5 EP; Sub: 20 HP – 18 HP = 2 HP>

Hrm, the weather sure looks pretty clear—perhaps a little too clear? This conclusion motivates Terrabite to stamp his foot hard against the ground and call up another blustery Sandstorm. As the motes of sand scratch its hard exterior, Digit tries for a Magnet Rise but can’t seem to get its body to levitate in the right way. He wobbles unsurely before plopping back down on the ground. Curse that DragonBreath!

<Digit: Paralysis!>
<Terrabite: -3 EP; Sub 2 HP>

Terrabite couldn’t be more thrilled that the Earthquake failed and drives the fin attached to his forearm into the ground. For perhaps the kajillionth time this match, the ground shimmies and shakes and, yeah, you know the drill. Digit weathers the quaking land to shoot off an Ice Beam which envelopes the pebble in solid ice. Yeah, it’s done with.

<Digit: -8 HP; -8 EP>
<Terrabite: -7 EP; Sub: broken!>

Great clouds of sand gust through the arena. <Digit: -3 HP>

[C~Dub]

Ok Digit use Blizzard one more time and if that doesn't finish him uses Ice Beam until he's done.

And if he tries to Double Team use Rain Dance.

[Oslo]

I'mma just go ahead and bump this for DF.

[Dogfish44]

Showdown time ^_^

Combine a quake to disorientate it and make blizzard miss (Hopefully) whilst combining draco meteor and fire blast at the same time to create a land destroying meteor to destroy the digital duck.
If it survives, use your faster speed to dodge those ice beams.

Shake 'n' Quake (Earthquake + DracoMeteor engulfed in a roaring Fire Blast)

‡ Pre-Round ‡

‡ Round 22 ‡

This is the end, beautiful friend! With neither competitor exactly rich with hit points, it’s apparent that this little tussle will end here and now. Terrabite howls and tiny tremors pass through the earth beneath us. What could this mean? Suddenly, the tremors escalate until Digit finds itself getting tossed about. Then, a mighty meteorite descends from the cloud cover, screaming as it cuts a path through the atmosphere. As it descends, Terrabite breathes a fiery ideogram that strikes the meteorite, engulfing it in flames.

Digit’s eyes go wide. Uh-oh. This leviathan of a move strikes the poor digital duckie for incredible damage. A plume of dust shoots up, obscuring our vision, and when it finally settles we’re left to look upon the rubble left in the wake of Terrabite’s move. The Gabite snaps his jaws triumphantly, sure that victory is his… but no! The rubble shifts and out comes Digit looking horribly worn, but nonetheless alive. The aching Porygon shoots off a fell ice storm that wails across the field. Terrabite doesn’t look pleased.

<Digit: -28 HP; -10 EP>
<Terrabite: -18 HP; -26 EP>

Terrabite pants and remains immobile, having consumed all of his actions for the round. There’s nothing he can do as Digit approaches to deal the finishing blow. The Porygon approaches, its eyes burning with victory, and prepares to unleash an Ice Beam. It ends here! The move charges up and then… nothing.

Stupid Paralysis! We had a climactic moment going! Come on!

<Digit: Paralysis!>
<Terrabite: Um…>

Okay, here we go. The Ice Beam finally shoots off and strikes the Gabite in the chest, bringing the fierce battlers down at last. And just like that, it’s over. Digit and C~Dub are the winners.

<Digit: -8 EP>
<Terrabite: -15 HP>



‡ Post-Round ‡
Wowza, that was a close one. Good work, guys! C~Dub and I get six points each while DF gets three.
