I challenge Cynder

[Darth CookieMonster]

Why is Cynder's HP so high? Its at 77 still and I did two moves that caused 20 so it should at least be 60...

Uhm...

Thunder - Thunderbolt - Thunder

If she changes the Weather, use Charge Beam for the first Thunder and Discharge for the second

[Cynder]

Use that tailwind to your avantage one final time - use U-turn before it can move. Then I'll send out my female custom vulpix Yurei, with drought ability.

Yuri, since the rain will go away automatically when you enter the battle, take full advantage of the sunlight and use fire blast followed by heat wave.

Aikoku: U-Turn
Yurei: Fire Blast ~ Heat Wave

Uh, methinks you're mistaken, DCM. You're confusing Aikoku's HP and EP.

‡ Pre-Round ‡


‡ Round 3 ‡

The next round begins as Aikoku flaps his wings feebly and attains flight once more. Things aren’t looking too good for this feathery pipsqueak. Deciding to call a loss a loss, Aikoku zips toward Gigabyte and drags his talons against the Magnemite’s steely frame to minimal effect. Suddenly, Aikoku glows read and unceremoniously returns to his Pokeball. Cool! Cynders plucks another ball from his belt and gives it a toss, summoning a Vulpix into the fray. The raindrops strike the little fox who frowns. Yurei has a different weather forecast in mind… sun! The rain simmers down to silence and is swiftly replaced by radiant beams of sunlight. Gigabyte, squinting through the brightness, tries to unleash another Thunder but it misses Yurei by quite a bit and instead strikes the escarpment. A few boulders tumble aimlessly to the ground below.

Gigabyte: <-4 HP; -10 EP>
Aikoku: <-5 EP>

Yurei bounces atop a smooth, flat rock and opens wide as the wind dances in between her many tails. She unleashes a wicked Fire Blast that roasts poor Gigbyte alive, even inflicting a nasty burn. The sunlight intensifies the heat nicely. In retaliation, Gigabyte goes for a Thunderbolt. Yurei is zapped but comes out ultimately okay.

Gigabyte: <-23 HP; -8 EP; Brn>
Yurei: <-14 HP; -10 EP>

Iiiiiit’s Heat Wave time! Opening wide once again, Yurei breathes out a steady current of ridiculously hot air that again receives a sunlight boost. Gigabyte squints as the Heat Wave fries his circuits and retaliates with a second Thunder… which again misses! Ahh! What rotten luck!

Gigabyte: <-20 HP; -10 EP>
Yurei: <-8 EP>

The Burn does its nasty thang on Gigabyte <-3 HP>.



‡ Post-Round ‡

Notes:

> This round was reffed with the standard 40% damage cap
> Aikoku is now locked in and will necessarily be the next Pokemon you send out, Cynder
> Tailwind will remain in effect for two more actions (which seems weird, but that's how the move works)
> Unless overcome, Sunny Day will remain in effect so long as Yurei remains on the field with her ability intact
> Ouch, those Sunny Day damage boosts are downright ghastly
> TEAM CYNDER to command next

[Cynder]

So I'm guessing that means that nobody else can change the weather now? Neat! Okay then, start off with safeguard; can't be too careful, then use flamethrower to roast that little magnetic sprocket, and finish with another fire blast. If it doesn't use a damaging attack for a round, then use calm mind. Only once though, just follow through with the main command if he doesn't use a damaging move more than once.

(Oh yeah Oslo, I'm a girl ^^; )

Yurei: Safeguard ~ Flamethrower ~ Fire Blast
