Magic Ticket Battle! DarkestLight vs. Greyfox (ref: Oslo)

[Oslo]

New battle idea! Darkly and Grey have kindly consented to being guinea pigs.

Alrighty, this match will be done tournament-style (ie. when a Pokemon faints, the winner gets a point and both trainers release again) and will be a best of nine. Ties don’t result in anyone getting a point. All Pokemon selections will be made by PM and the location will be your typical Indigo Stadium-style arena with a pool. No moves will be banned, but there will be a 40 HP damage cap. Also, no using the same Pokemon twice. People rarely do that anyway but, hey, just throwing that out there.

Anyway... onto the gimmick! Standing off to the side is a large, zany machine known as the Magic Ticket Dispenser. At the beginning of every match-up, right before the trainers release, the machine will activate and print out a Magic Ticket. Written on the Magic Ticket is a single stipulation that determines what kind of Pokemon the trainers should try to release next. Here are some different examples of what might be written on a Magic Ticket:

• A Pokemon whose species starts with the letter C
• An Eeveelution
• A genderless Pokemon
• A Pokemon that can learn Headbutt by level-up
• A Generation I Pokemon

If the Pokemon you choose meets the stipulation on the Magic Ticket, it will be released with 120 HP and 120 EP. If the Pokemon does not meet the stipulation, it will be released with 100 HP and 100 EP like normal. Therefore, it's generally in your best interests to try to follow what's written on the Magic Ticket because you'll wind up with a decent advantage.

That said, you don’t have to do what the Magic Ticket says. For example, if a Magic Ticket stipulates a pure Water-type Pokemon, you might get tricky and release an Electric-type instead. You lose out on the extra 20 HP/EP, but you could end up with a helpful type advantage. You're also welcome to peruse your opponent's VS Seeker to second-guess what Pokemon they might choose next. Luck and strategy both come into play here.

Anyway, time for the first Magic Ticket! :O :O :O The machine comes to life aaaaand... omg anticipation...

• A Pokemon that is taller than 7'00"

Darkly and Grey will PM their first Pogey to me and then I'll flip to determine who commands first. Cool beans? Cool beans.

Oh, and let Oslo know if you have any questions!

[Oslo]

Darkly chooses Darwin the Kangaskhan (@Scrappy).
Grey chooses Megazord the Golurk (@Iron Fist).

Since both Pokemon meet the Magic Ticket stipulation, they both get 120 HP/EP.

Aaaaand with the result of the coin flip, Grey commands first.

[Greyfox]

Earthquake, Ice Punch, Fire Punch.

[DarkestLight]

o.O What? Darwin, Kick in his face all over the place.

Sucker Punch~Ice Punch~Fire Punch. We can go blow for blow!

What up, boys and lady-boys? Welcome to Indigo Stadium, the wonderfully generic arena where a wonderfully not-so-generic battle is soon to take place between teh modleh folkz! Yeppers, that's right. Darkly and Grey strut up to the battle with collars popped and aviators set to stun because they are nine different flavours of fierce, all of which contain alarmingly high levels of the carcinogen known as badassery. As the Magic Ticket dispenser hums and whistles and makes various other machine-ish noises beside me, our ASB overlords release their Pogeys. Darkly's Kangaskhan and Grey's Golurk emerge, exchanging fiery glares and ripping insults and a begrudging handshake because I'm forcing them to play nice. Ready? Let's begin!• POST-ROUND •

NOTES:

• At 0 EP, Pokemon will begin to lose 1 HP for every 2 EP consumed

Wait... why did Counter have an effect on 'zord? Counter is still a fighting attack so it shouldn't effect my ghost at all.

[Greyfox]

Shit!

Zord -- make a big substitute to shield you from her attacks, then use Focus Punch again. Finally, knock her off balance with Earthquake!
