Ready! FIGHT!

The match is on, as chaos and Blade each seem to have a strong start, both of them look worse for wear. Will Blade defend his Gym, or can chaos pull the rug out from under him?

Pokémon Gym Battle all set?! Ready! GO!

Doop starts off first, by getting himself ready for the coming battle (-8 E @ Doopliss, SPATK → +4). This doesn't stop the oppressive Nightstalker, however, as he unleashes his own dark energy (-4 E @ Nightstalker/-12 H @ Doopliss).

It's a sound hit, so Night follows it up by channeling the shadows around him before sending it flying towards Doop (-3 E @ Nightstalker/-11 H @ Doopliss). Doop takes the hit, but does something unexpected, lasers from his gemmed eyes connect with Nightstalker, and lock him in the physical world (-3 E @ Doopliss, Physical/Physical).

Doop isn't playing around anymore. Nuh-uh. Not as he flings himself towards Nightstalker, ready with a hard hand and smacks him like a pile of boards (-6 E @ Doopliss/-11 H @ Nightstalker) crashing the platforms into each other once more. Night, reels back from the hit but manages to unleash another pulse of dark energy (-3 E @ Nightstalker/-11 H @ Doopliss).

The fight is going back and forth, but Night has the advantage so far, and Doop looks like he's about to fall over. Can the Ditto bring the battle around, or will he be the first to fall?

[Blademaster]

Taunt until it works. Then use Pain Split. If there's time left, use Dark Pulse.

[chaos_redefined]

Denz, how does your fatigue rules (1 HP -> 2EN) interact with pain split? I know you gave pain split a 40 EN cost when I was fighting metallixs girl, so it should be relevant here.

[Blademaster]

A move with 40 EN cost?

Are you serious, chaos? Denny, that is WAY too high for any move. I don't think I've EVER seen a move in ASB cost such an outrageous amount of energy.

[Mew Master]

In the battle against Metalix Girl, the reason it was was because it's going to cost you a lot of energy to take health from your opponent, I've seen almost as high (if not equal) Energy Usages in battles where DL refs. Whatever the difference in Health is that you gain, that's how much energy it should take, I believe this is how I've reffed Pain Split in the past.

[Blademaster]

...Is this battle with MetallixsGirl is still going on? Because for any move - even Explosion - to cost that much energy is simply absurd. I'm not just saying that because of the potential trouble I'm now in, either: I honestly think that THAT much of a cost is a ripoff to chaos as well, especially when you consider that Pain Split has 20 PP in the games compared to the measly 5 of, say, Fire Blast, which typically costs about 10 EN.

[Mew Master]

My Reasoning for why it costs so much is this:

Even for Healing moves (Self Healing) it takes a lot of energy to get your health back up. In the Case of Pain Split you are doing BOTH Damage and Healing, thus the energy expenditure is going to be greatly increased. Even in our Move List for ASB, Pain Split is mentioned as a High Fatigue, which is 8-12%, the same as Fire Blast. I rule it should cost more energy because you're taking away health from your opponent and increasing your own at the same time.

[chaos_redefined]

That battle is still going, but we are on to our next pokemon. But I will consider calling shenanigans in future.

I haven't used these combo thingamajigs before, but set off a shadow ball riding on a dark pulse and an ominous wind guiding it further.

shadow ball + dark pulse + ominous wind

Ready! FIGHT!

It's a match made in... well.. this hellish arena! With Blademaster being taken aback by chaos' offensive, can the Gym Leader defend his honor or will chaos rip it out of his soul?

Pokémon Gym Battle all set?! Ready! GO!

Nightstalker seems to be concentrating as dark energy, shadows, and wind starts to circle around him (-25 E @ Nightstalker). Doopliss doesn't care, simply because he just starts bad-mouthing Nightstalker (-3 E @ Doopliss/Taunted → 4 Actions). Which works fine for Nightstalker, as he unleashes his fury. A ball of darkness enveloped in shadows, streaking behind it, as dreary and unerving wind wrap around it go spiraling towards Doop, smacking the clone hard and knocking him off the platform (-25 H @ Doopliss (TKO'D!)). Luckily he's recalled before the platform crashes to bits at the ruins below.

So, Blade is now one Pokemon down. Can he defend his Gym one last time, or will chaos claim his badge.

Ready! FIGHT!

From the ruins of defeat, perchance comes the hand of victory? Blademaster unleashes his next choice onto a brand new platform, tether and all, in the chaotic vortex that is this planetoid. The new Pokemon looks like a mutated seahorse and twice as mean. A Kingdra by any other name than Dorrie would be laughed off the stage (or is it a Kingdra with the name Dorrie, I can't remember Shakespear). So the battle continues, can Blade's relief hitter score a couple of hits, or will her platform crash onto the jagged rocks below?

Pokémon Gym Battle all set?! Ready! GO!

Nightstalker doesn't waste any time as he charges up a spheroid of energy from his own shadows before flinging it at Dorrie (-5 E @ Nightstalker/-13 H @ Dorrie). The hit was pretty bad, but Dorrie wasn't about to give in as she inhaled and shot out a blast of ink that hit the Stalker right in his face (-7 E @ Dorrie/-11 H @ Nightstalker, ACC → -1).

Night shakes his head a bit, before shaking his head back and forth and flinging another blast of shadows towards his opponent (-4 E @ Nightstalkers/-12 H @ Dorrie). The attacks have a lot of power behind them, but Dorrie cuts loose with her own burst of draconic energy (-5 E @ Dorrie/-9 H @ Nightstalker).

Dorrie recovers from the hit and spits out a pulse of the watery variety this time (-4 E @ Dorrie/-8 H @ Nightstalker). The Sableye stammers back from the attack before fiering off another collection of shadows that goes wildly, avoiding the Kingdra and disappearing off into the horizon (-6 E @ Nightstalker).

So, does Nightstalker have what it takes to keep going, or will Dorrie send him to sleep with the fishes?

Between Taunt and Stall, I'm pretty sure we move first no matter what. So...

Dorrie, finish him off with a combo of Hydro Pump and Dragon Pulse. If he somehow survives that, crush him with Dragonbreath.

Use Sucker Punch to deliver a point blank Shadow Ball. If you survive, Protect against the Dragonbreath.

In the stratosphere, the battle continues. Blademaster's team doesn't seem to be doing so hot, and chaos' own Nightstalker is still in the fight. Will the Sableye stick around one more round, or has Dorrie managed to down the elusive spirit?

Pokémon Gym Battle all set?! Ready! GO!

Nightstalker's in fast and hard, as shadows collect around his fist and slams his platform into Dorrie's, ghostly energy releasing from his hand on contact (-17 E @ Nightstalker, -2 H @ Nightstalker (Energy Substitute)/-32 H @ Dorrie). The hit is HARD! But that's not Stopping Dorrie as she slides back from the hit and channels draconic energy into her mouth. It pulses before a blast of water comes flying out, charged with the energy of her ancestors (-18 E @ Dorrie/-17 H @ Nightstalker (TKO'D!)).

The resulting explosion sends Nightstalker's platform falling to the ground, destroyed and in pieces. Can Blade keep this momentum up, or is chaos just getting started?

I'll use Blanket, my female Banette

Shadow Ball ~ Shadow Claw ~ Shadow Ball
Sub: If Dorrie uses Taunt, try to taunt Dorrie first. Use Magic Coat on anything Magic Coat-able, and Snatch on anything Snatch-able.

[Blademaster]

...Am I reading that right? Did that Shadow Ball just do 32 HP? How does that work?

[chaos_redefined]

I'm guessing a crit was involved. And since it was a combo, it starts to add up. This may even be two crits. (One for the sucker punch, one for the shadow ball)

[Mew Master]

It was a Sucker Punch comboed with a Shadow Ball. The Combo Damage, Plus the STAB of the moves, added with the +4 SPATK of Nightstalker added up to 32 Damage dealt to Dorrie.

[Blademaster]

My combo of Hydro Pump and Dragon Pulse did barely HALF that amount, and both of those moves are STAB and in a combo as well. Now I dunno how you ref + stats, but the simple fact is that only Shadow Ball would have gotten a boost since Sucker Punch is Physical. I can see 22 damage, but 32? I'm not buying that.

...Moving on... Dorrie, drop out of the way and dodge that Shadow Ball and blast her into the Freezing stratosphere with Dragon Pulse. Then use Muddy Water, and finish with Bubblebeam.

If she doesn't Freeze in the high atmosphere, do it yourself with an Ice Beam.

Move: Dragon Pulse, Muddy Water, Bubbblebeam
Sub: -------------, Ice Beam (if not Frozen), ----

[chaos_redefined]

It did enough to kill me, and Denz just wrote my remaining health at the time.

[Mew Master]

Blade, the reason that yours only did 17 was because that was HOW MUCH HEALTH NIGHTSTALKER HAD LEFT!

This innit D&D, where anything past 0 insta-kills.

[chaos_redefined]

Denz, we both posted our moves. Feel free to put up a ref.

Ready! FIGHT!

With the crash of Nightstalker's platform the previous round, chaos responds by sending out another ghost. A zipper-faced shade of a menace that goes by the name Blanket. Both sides are a Pokemon Down, can Blade gain some momentum, or does chaos have this match in the bag?

Pokémon Gym Battle all set?! Ready! GO!

Blanket snickers (how can you with a zipper for a mouth?) and charges up a sphere of concentrated shadow before firing it at Dorrie (-5 E @ Blanket). Dorrie (and her platform) take a hit in altitude as the ball wizzes overhead, a miss. She gets closer to the atmosphere, and can feel the magnetic waves running through her stronger than before. She keeps her wits about her as she launches a pulse of draconic energy at her opponent (-6 E @ Dorrie/-10 H @ Blanket). The hit lands and Blanket's sent higher into the atmosphere.

The competitors got a bit more space between them, and it seems to work for Dorrie's advantage as the ghost is buffeted with low temperature winds. Ice covers her body in mid concentration (-6 E @ Blanket, FZN → 10% Chance Thaw). Dorrie's not set off by the magnetic waves rolling around her (yet) and unleashes with a burst of muck and water (-7 E @ Dorrie/-11 H @ Blanket, FZN → 20% Chance Thaw).

Dorrie snickers to herself. The waves are rolling over her brain, but she's not really ready to give into the chaos. Keeping the frozen Blanket in her sights, she shoots outa burst of bubbles that float in a straight line (-5 E @ Dorrie/-9 H @ Blanket, FZN → 29% Chance Thaw. Blanket tries to struggle in the ice, but isn't able to move enough to break herself free (-6 E @ Blanket, FZN → 35% Chance Thaw.

The battle seems to have turned around Dorrie has her opponent frozen like a TV-Dinner. Can she keep up the damage, and bring Blanket to heal, or is she on her last leg?

Dorrie, ascend and use Ice Beam. Then use Focus Energy, and finish with Dragonbreath.

Disable any status attacks (including Curse) or healing moves. If Taunted, swap out Focus Energy for Dragon Rage.

[chaos_redefined]

Well, it's not a status attack, but I'm gonna try out this Sunny Day stuff you talk of. Apparently, it gets really hot here. Hot enough to thaw out this frozen shell you're in. Once thaw'd, come back down, and push him straight up with an Ominous Wind, theoretically freezing him in the process. Finally, bring out the Shadow Balls. Coz they never get old.

Sunny Day ~ Ominous Wind ~ Shadow Ball

[Blademaster]

Actually, the temperature doesn't change except in random spots, where it escalates into the thousands-of-degrees area due to deadly solar radiation hitting the planet without being diluted by the magnetosphere first. You didn't see The Core, I take it.

You're taking a big risk.

A ghost on the rocks and a deranged dragonfish continue to do battle. Dorrie seems to have gained an advantage with the upper atmosphere, and Blanket is stuck in the ice. Will the ghost finally be put to rest, or will the dragon be vanquished?

Pokémon Gym Battle all set?! Ready! GO!

Dorrie keeps her focus from the impending waves from down below, rising up to a stable altitude as she cuts forth with a super-cooled beam of energy (-7 E @ Dorrie/-11 H @ Blanket, FZN → 24% Chance Thaw). Blanket is encased in fresh ice, and struggles to get free. She shouts out to the heavens to allow the sun to come forth and free her (-5 E @ Blanket). The effect is two fold. Several spots along the sky split as the sun's rays comes blazing through. However, right above Blanket an opening begins, and a blast of super-heated, un-filtered solar energy rains down on Blanket (-20 H @ Blanket), having the side-effectw of damaging the platform, sending her down in altitude, and insta-thawing her.

Now there are several beams of solar-originating death moving around the arena (Solar Death → 3 Rounds, 30% Chance Hit).

Blanket, now free and smoldering, calls forth a blast of wind to push her up to the stratosphere (-5 E @ Blanket/-9 H @ Dorrie). She's pushed up and right into a moving beam of the sun's fury (-15 H @ Dorrie). She's sizzling, but still moving as she concentrates her efforts into studying Blanket's movements (-6 E @ Dorrie, Crit Chance → +3).

Dorrie's not ready to let a little sun-burn stop her, as she spits dragonfire and brimstone (-7 E @ Dorrie/-11 H @ Blanket, PAR → 25% Chance Attack Failure, SPD → -2). The attack seems to get some good damage on Blanket, but the ghost isn't ready to give up as she gathers the shadows and flings them up at Dorrie again (-6 E @ Blanket/[b]-10 H @ Dorrie).

Dorrie looks like she's almost done, but Blanket isn't looking so hot herself. As the sun rains death and destruction upon the planet below, can Blade snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, or will chaos continue to keep his lead?

It's hell on the battlefield as solar fury rains down onto the planet, with Dorrie and Blanket caught in the middle Can Dorrie hang on in this match, or will they be burned by the sun's own rage?

Pokémon Gym Battle all set?! Ready! GO!

Dorrie takes it to the defensive as she protects herself in a protective barrier, while yawning at Blanket (-8 E @ Dorrie/Drowsy → 2 Actions). A pillar of flame moves over Blanket, taking the Banette by surprise (-20 H @ Banette (Solar Death)). The hit phases her pretty hard, but not hard enough to stop her from lashing out with a ball of shadow (-5 E @ Blanket). Too bad Dorrie was ready for it.

The winds change direction suddenly, sending two jets of flame towards one another, with Dorrie and Blanket in the middle! The two burning bits of blaze hit both Pokemon and destroy their platforms in a massive explosion akin to that one scene from Independence Day (-9 H @ Dorrie (Solar Death, TKO'D!)/-8 H @ Blanket (Solar Death, TKO'D!)).

Both Pokemon were saved from certain death by the Ref's Gardivior. While the Gym Leader and challenger consider their options, the sun's fury continues to pummel the planet and burn the skies.

The Arena
Codename: B.L.IT.Z.

Ready! FIGHT!

The fight continues. Both combatants down to half of their team. Chaos unelashes a staticy, sparking sprite of a Pokemon, known as Rotom. On this platform, Blade unleashes a beast of a thundergod, the big, beefy, burly Electivire by the name of Thunderhand. With new Pokemon on the field, it's still anyone's game. While fire rains down from the sky, let's see who'll win, who'll survive, and who will die.

Pokémon Gym Battle all set?! Ready! GO!

Rotom's on the offensive to kick it off. Using some of the blowing sand, some secretions before he slaps it into Thunder's face (-4 E @ Rotom/-9 H @ Thunderhand, ACC → -1). Thunder snarls under his breath, before he howls to the skies (-5 E @ Thunderhand, Lightning Barrage → 3 Rounds). Clouds start to build and block out the pillars of fire cutting through the sky, in its place comes a massive increase of electrical instability. Thunder rumbles as lightning starts to blast down from the clouds.

Still pushing himself, Rotom flings another wad of mud at Thunderhand (-3 E @ Rotom/-8 H @ Thunderhand, ACC → -1). The mud clings even as the rain falls down. Thunderhand growls under his breath, as he tries to impale the Rotom with a psychic bolt (-8 E @ Thunderhand/-8 E @ Rotom). The hit lands and spins Rotom around a bit.

Lightning flashes randomly around the two combatants, Thunderhand concentrates his energy around his fist, before he flings himself at Rotom, cold mist rising from his fist (-7 E @ Thunderhand/-7 H @ Rotom). Rotom takes the hit, but then starts to split himself apart, creating a duplicate of himself for Thunderhand to pummel on (-25 E @ Rotom,-20 H @ Rotom/+20 H @ Rotom Substitute).

Shadow Ball ~ Ominous Wind ~ Shadow Ball
Subs: Uproar to drown out any Taunts. Snatch up anything snatch-able.

Quick couple of points:
1) Typo regarding my HP loss from Psychic. You wrote it as EN.
2) Forgive me if my maths is off, but an EN has gone missing in the final calculation of Rotom's EN.
3) What kinda duration do you give Rain Dance?

[Mew Master]

1) The Health/Energy symbolism wasn't taken into the calculation of the Health of Rotom.
2) Energy and Health are correct now.
3) The duration of weather effects is listed at the end of the round, right under Rotom's stats and above the Ref Notes

[chaos_redefined]

Oh. That's what the red thing is. I probs would have noticed next round.

[Blademaster]

Thunderhand, create a Substitute of your own. Make it only about half as strong as Rotom's. Then rain down a Thunder attack on Rotom. Finally, wait for his last attack to come, and THEN use Taunt.
